Her

Each breath brings her closer to tears
what has she done with all the years?
Las Vegas stole part of her soul
Now she searches for a new goal
God granted one small blessing
Now it's time for nesting
what path will drop before her next?
only hope will get her through the tests.

This one was inspired by a friend of mine. From my point of view, she has had a rough time through life. But hopefully things are looking up from now on.

Endless Halls

Wastefully wandering the endless halls
watching the steps, afraid to fall
each door looks the same
turning in circles, I wonder who to blame
everywhere I turn, the walls are lined with mirrors
scared of my own reflection, I scream out in terror
Help Me! Help Me! I can't get Out!
...but no one can hear me, silent is my shout.

This one was inspired by my dreams, how sometimes I get lost in my own thoughts. It feels like I just wander the halls in my mind, opening doors as I come to them. Feels like I can get stuck in my own head that way and who's to blame? only myself.

The Dark

As I lay myself down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul does keep
for should I wake in the night
Lost in the darkness, trapped in fright
Guide my eyes, let them see
I'm all alone, it's just me
close my eyes and cozy back to sleep
all you have to do is ask and of course your soul He'll keep

This came to me as I was laying in bed ready to go to sleep. I am still scared of the dark sometimes, so I suppose that is what inspired me.lol

Let Freedom Ring

As my spirit drowns in this world
I hope that my purpose will be fulfilled
I exist to be pushed, pulled, carted.
my mind and soul ripped and parted
shape me in the mold
I will follow, do as I'm told
whisper to be heard
I'll keep up with my herd
Glass engulfs me from all sides
I will have to give or hide
but maybe I'll have a chance
If mother nature continues to rip my Nation's pants
reveal that arse
put us on a new course
I wish to be free
in a Nation ran by insanity.

Inspired by the government and how I feel our current president is making the country not free.

I'll Love You Forever

Layer me with your powder
I'll brush it off and scream louder
Get off me!
Leave my heart and mind in peace
This chill that echoes down my soul
Is reminiscent of the pain that left holes
but as you keep trickling down upon my head
I question if my love for you is dead
I hate this thought
but my mind is snagged, it's caught.
Give me a shovel, I'll dig myself out
It's not as if I expect you to pay attention to my pout.
I will enjoy you from afar
maybe scoop you up and put you in a jar
Be my snow globe and I'll wind you up
Listen to memories and fill my cup
That's all that is left
I'm happy with the love I've kept
Forgive me and I forgive you
For our love is gone, but it was true...
I'll always love you.

I wrote this today at work. It snowed heavily today and the snow helped inspire me as well as a dream I had last night in which I dreamed about things with my ex.
