No Matter
How many times must a man come to grips
with all of the troubles in life,
where voyages tend to become sunken ships
and seems every path leads to strife?
How often must he try, despite what he sees,
a battle that’s too big to win?
Where forces are meant to bring him to his knees
and make him start over again.
How many times when rock bottom he’s reached
and no ...

70 Times 7
Unto what shall I liken my struggle filled walk in life?
Unto a breath without air, gasping and grasping
for that which I can clearly see and ever try to be,
but like unto the shining stars of heaven’s glory above -
lies as it would seem high above my reach.
Yet my hands are stretched heavenward.
Unto what shall I compare the hope which I have for change?
To the li...

Failure
I tried today and failed again.
I’ve tried so long I don’t know when
it ever went the way of which I planned.
I’ve given up on wondering why.
I’ve learned it doesn’t help to cry,
nor does it pay to try and understand.
But each time that I stumbling fall,
I rise with my back ‘gainst the wall
resolved to bury disappointment’s ire.
“Get up, keep going everyda...

Purpose & Desire
Nothing can stop the unquenchable fire,
fed by the flame of the deepest desire.
Born of a purpose, intent that is true
in the one who's determined to do what they do.
One who believes it can always be done.
One who won't quit till the battle is won.
One who gets up every time that they fall.
One who dreams big, regardless how small
they may seem in this ...

Resolve
If you'll work upon your self-esteem,
You will follow each and every dream.
And if in yourself you will believe
All of your goals you'll then achieve.
And so with life do not play games,
Just be sure to meet your aims.
And to other people do be kind,
And bear their happiness in mind.
So do not go back on resolutions.
Work on problems till you have solutions.
Try not to be weak or be ...

unbroken
to return to that place, I say not, but only
to find what was once lost
to fix the broken part of me..broken
to make what never was
to pull down the shade screens formed
to blind the penitent to newly ordered crimes
and forever fix this rift between the fixers and I.

Confession
Kept convincing myself
end would turn out fine
Fazed but withstanding
implore for a visible sign
Trudge turned Incessant
with reserves at very last
Stretched to the optimum
leaving me plainly aghast
Events turned divergent
expectations got belied
Means while just perfect
but to end never applied
Resolve nearly exhausted
