Seek not...


Seek not the treasures you want,
Seek not the stars you wish on,
Seek not the person for your happiness,
But the simple moments you find each day...

Seek not the "why" for your days,
Seek not the justice that must follow,
For all the trials of our days,



Meet every ambition,
With great confidence,
While you meet every storm,
With a heavy heart...

Feel the weight of the world,
A piece at a time,
Feel with empathy and compassion,
When you walk outside...

Grow your nerves of steel,
For your spirit,
Baring that heart of gold,
For this life you live..

Gift each day,
Like it is only your last,
And dream every day,
Like they will always last...

Dedicated to the loss we've felt, we've had and the loved one's we miss... Every single day...

Fathers...


We lose the fathers that care,
We gain the fathers that bare,
Baring an immoral compass, 
Baring a broken soul...



In a world filled with everything,
Where everything is nothing,
I travel...
On a broken brick road,
To an abyss of loneliness,
My heart...
Filled with empty precautions...
My mind...
Knowing only broken promises...

Lord...
Oh God..
How I ask for your guidance....
For an angel...
For direction...
In this world where I am lost,
Lost with no perception,
Of what's suppose to be...
Prone to only this deception...

But on this ship I sail,
Sail through every test,
&
Every storm,
Through darkened weather...
&
Angry shores...
Midst this hardship,
Every wish is precious...
To my soul,
To my being,
A soul that will only grow strong...

With time....
You maybe my history,
In life...
You may pretend to be my company,
But I will never be your legacy,
For I will never live your lie...
Or any lie...
