Sitting alone in the darkness of my mind
Leaving everything in the world behind
Thinking of what I should do.
I've taken some time to think about life
And how it's been cut away with a knife
And it's me that has to get it back.
I've dealt with struggle, I've dealt with pain
But I've still never danced in the rain
And with the time I have left, could I still?
I've seen the others, so happy and bright
Seeming as though they never have to fight
But I know I do, It's all I do, and all I could ever do.
Seeing the world through another's eyes
Seeing things differently is no surprise
And understanding ensues.
If I could, only for a moment, I would
And if it is my path in life, I should
But is it? I don't know.
Walking the halls and corridors
Everyday, such a chore
Never the less, it must be done.
You must think about life and all it will bring
From the time you can talk to when the wedding bells ring
Think about your past, present, and future.
A day will rise when you know what to do
When God comes down and beckons for you
To do his work, in his righteous way
Without complaints, without pay
Where will you be when that day comes
When trumpets sound along with drums
And your time to tell what you have done
To no one else, but the righteous one
The day will come, I know this true
And I hope on that day, I'll be with you
But until then, here I stand
Waiting for your outstretched hand
Procrastination
Time drags on and still no end
And don't even try to pretend
Don't act like you've got nothing to do
Because you know it has to be done too
The day draws on and it's still not done
The amount of which is finished is none
I should get to it
I can't just quit
My education at stake
I begin to flake
And think about getting a move on
Even though my patience is gone
Procrastination strikes again
On the souls of men
Keeping them from their work
What a non-physical jerk
And don't even try to pretend
Don't act like you've got nothing to do
Because you know it has to be done too
The day draws on and it's still not done
The amount of which is finished is none
I should get to it
I can't just quit
My education at stake
I begin to flake
And think about getting a move on
Even though my patience is gone
Procrastination strikes again
On the souls of men
Keeping them from their work
What a non-physical jerk
Help?!
I wish I knew
What to do
To make my life
Go where I want it to.
I do what I'm told
I try to be bold
I take things in strife
And respect the old
From day to day
I try to get my way
But then someone comes along
And steals it all away.
I wish things could be easy
But not so much cheesy
Like they are in a song
But not so much sleazy
Could someone help me out
And show me where to go
Sometimes I just want to shout
Because they aren't so
What to do
To make my life
Go where I want it to.
I do what I'm told

IT'S LATE!
It's late, I'm tired,
Yet slightly wired
Looking for something to do
No sleep, no sound,
No bag to pound
And not thinking about sleep
Check one, check two,
No judging by you
Just because it's late
I see the stars, I see the moon,
And I should get to bed soon
And yet I'm wide awake
No sleep for me, no sleep for I,
No help at all for a sleepy guy
Why can't someone help me out
Confined in the room, confined to this space,
I just want to jump up and leave this place
And yet I'm slightly tired
My eyes hang low, my eyes fall down,
My thoughts begin to drag and drown
And it's time for me to sleep
Yet slightly wired
Looking for something to do
No sleep, no sound,
No bag to pound
And not thinking about sleep
Check one, check two,
No judging by you
Just because it's late
I see the stars, I see the moon,
And I should get to bed soon
And yet I'm wide awake
No sleep for me, no sleep for I,
No help at all for a sleepy guy

Confined in the room, confined to this space,
I just want to jump up and leave this place
And yet I'm slightly tired
My eyes hang low, my eyes fall down,
My thoughts begin to drag and drown
And it's time for me to sleep
He Is There
Walking out into the night,
I walk on without fright,
Because He is there.
Your friend is sick, you pray,
and somehow you know they'll be okay,
Because He is there.
You've lost someone you hold dear,
You feel comforted when you wipe a tear,
Because He is there.
You are injured, but you heal well,
You don't know why, but I won't tell,
Because He is there.
A tornado comes to whisk you away,
And you pray that everything's okay,
Because He is there.
You do well at your show,
You may not, but I know,
It's because He is there.
Sometimes you may not think it is so,
But as I've said before, I quite well know,
He... is... there!
I walk on without fright,
Because He is there.

The Night Continues
The night after school
Was a nice and cool
My eyes again drooped
And into my bed I stooped
I returned to the dream
Falling through the cloud stream
My ears, they rang
As I returned to the BANG!
The large fang in the ground
The dark fog all around
People screaming, people shouting
Not much of a social outing
I fall to the ground searching for a sword
I find one and through me its energy poured
Power surging through my veins
Willingness to fight through my pains
I hold the sword in front of me
I focus and swing freely
The energy building forms a light
A light from the sword to fight
I take a hard swing and the shadow screams
This is what makes the best of dreams
A few more swings and the shadow falls
The other soldiers give out their calls
The shadow defeated
Our energy depleted
We go back to the tree to rest
And I want up at home refreshed

Adventures in Sleep
Sitting in class hearing the professor talk
About how to get robots to walk
Time dragging on and on
Eyes dropping slowly before I'm completely gone
Falling into a world of a mysterious cast
Running by me in a pace that's fast
Not sure of what to do
I decide to pursue
Leading me into a dark and gloomy wood
Into the darkness not wanting to fall, but could
Ever running, ever following, ever tiring
I'm surprised I'm not at all perspiring
We reached a bright spot in the wood
Where a giant glowing tree stood
The leader of the people got up to stand
And raised forth his right hand
He said to all who could hear
Those both far and near
That an evil is coming and the evil is nearing
And if we don't stop it soon we will be disappearing
So the men grabbed their swords
And filled up their hoards
Climbed onto their horses
These were the good forces
They surrounded the wooded town
In hopes that the evil they would drown
With their swords held high
They yelled a mighty battle cry
A sound drew near
That everyone could hear
The evil drew close
And the smell grew gross
A dark fog arose in the distance
Letting us know of its existance
The fog now here, I see a large fang
And the next thing I know I hear BANG!
I awoke in the class, no harm done to me
My book on the floor, no glowing tree
I look around only to find
Class was over, and I was left behind
I gathered my things and left the room
And the adventure I had I did presume
Had ended for that day
I can't wait to again play
About how to get robots to walk
Time dragging on and on
Eyes dropping slowly before I'm completely gone
Falling into a world of a mysterious cast
Running by me in a pace that's fast
Not sure of what to do
I decide to pursue
Leading me into a dark and gloomy wood
Into the darkness not wanting to fall, but could
Ever running, ever following, ever tiring

Decisions
Your decisions
Your actions
Your choices
Your reactions
Your decisions affect your life
More than you could ever know
So take things with strife
Because you don't know
When it's your time to go
Your actions affect what people think of you
So don't do anything you'll regret
Because you won't be able to undo
Anything you do, so I wouldn't bet
That you'll be comfortable with what you regret
Your choices affect who you are
And they affect who you will become
Think about driving your car
And think about where you're from
And wonder when your time will come
Your reactions affect what you will do next
Fight or flight is one reaction that can be
Think about that while you read this text
Watch a bird nest in a very large tree
Because all we want to be is free.
