Kiss
Solitude
Away from life's attitude
Not seeking gratitude
Not wishing anyone to be around
Nor do I want found
Rather watch as life drives on by
Get along I try
Usually I cry
Walking alone through life
A heart full of strife
Try to walk around
The people I have found
Hide
My time I bide
Wish I might
Beat the fright
Step into the light
Find my way
Make it through the day
Just trying to reach my tomorrow
This land of no sorrow
For a change no tears
No fears
Holding me down are the years
No cure
For a heart that's pure
Life is
Bliss
The lips engaged in a kiss
The death of a wish
Not just some pretty dish
The birth of hope
Plenty of rope
The patients to cope
Till I get my head.on straight
Life can be great
Hope gets me by
But no matter how hard I try
Seems I cry
Lost in what could be
All that I see
A moment in time
Words that rhyme
Get me by
No lie
I really try
Walk alone
Love shown
The words in my head
Heart is heavy as lead
I hope I win instead
The dreams I sold
As my body grows old
A tear
For fear
That I feel
Make me a deal
Passion
Lost in fashion
Forever sleep
Never to again weep
Lost in my own why
But still I try
Walking under a naked sky
Time is the time was time never to be
Longing to be free
From the battlefield within
Those without sin
Know not where I have been
Peace of mind
So hard to find
Darkness falls
Hidden behind these walls
Strength
Lifting me to go the length
I don't wish to cry
Nor die
But the path grows weary
Life's dreary
Lost is my way
Rainy is the day
What can I say
Somewhere in that distant sky
The answers lie
I must make is through
Only thing to do
Keep going forward
Ever toward
My tomorrows
Past all of life's sorrows
Till one day I look around and see
That all along I was already free
That's how life seems to be
