Looking For Something

I've been looking for something
You could say my whole life
I've been searching for truths
But all I found were the lies

Am I such an outcast
Am I such a recluse
Was I destined to live
With a world to refuse

To feel like an outsider
To feel how I feel
Like no one can hear me
Tell me can this be real ?

I thought when I grew up
That it would all change
But I'm halfway to thirty
And it still feels the same

I've been to a war
I've lost some close friends
I found out the pain
Never comes to an end

I now have a daughter
I love her so much
But her mother is crazy
She makes me go nuts

I'm with my new wife
She is here by my side
She is my best half
She keeps me alive

New baby girl coming
Sometime in the spring
I'm patiently waiting
For her life to begin

I have to be strong
I have to stand tall
I will shoot for the stars
And then see where I fall

If I aim high enough
I might land in the clouds
Where the silence is deafening
And you can't hear a sound

And there in the silence
I will have my peace
And so until then
I will start with this piece

One piece of the puzzle
Of this thing I call life
With my daughters right here
And me holding my wife...

A Chance

Free me. Free me from hell. Free me from this hell. I'm trapped and I need help. Show me. Show me a way. Show me the way. The path I should take. Find me. Find me a cure. Find me the cure.

Me

*apologies for the swear word, but it came from the heart* I am the product of a love that once existed I am what they made me, how they shaped me.

Roads

When I was feeling low things took an unexpected change. A red light just waiting to turn green, so I could go a different way. Yet not far ahead the sign says stop No worries another path opens up.

Breathe

Time after time, I am knocked down. Fight after fight, I end on the ground. The air of life is pushing on me, Is it too much to ask for room to breathe.
