"In This Game Called Life"

In this game called life--

I'm forever losing.

To live or to die--

Is what we're choosing.

And though decisions in life,

Can be very confusing.

You can't really win,

Without sometimes losing.

"It Hurts"

It hurts,
But I know that every scar has a place.
It hurts,
But I know that every scar has a face.

It hurts,
But I know that everyone makes mistakes.
It hurts,
But I know that everyone has tough breaks.

It hurts,
But I know that every heart has been damaged.
It hurts,
But I know that we are strong enough to manage.

"Too Much Pressure"

Too much pressure,

I can't do it.

There you go,

I just blew it.

No edits in life,

You can't undo it.

You live to learn,

There's not much to it.

"Sort of Fucked Up"

I'm sort of fucked up--

But it's okay somehow.

We never make it out alive--

Anyhow.

"A Journey"

No path,
No destination--
Just a journey on sight.

Lost goals,
More obstacles--
Just looking for a light.

No path,
No destination--
Everything seems tight.

Lost hope,
More dreams--
Nothing seems right.

No path,
No destination--
There is no course.

Lost goals,
More obstacles--
Trying to push through with force.

No path,
No destination--
Leaves for an easy discourse.

Lost hope,
More dreams--
Just looking for the source.

No path,
No destination--
Where is the hope?

Lost goals,
More obstacles--
How does one cope?

No path,
No destination--
Looking for a microscope.

Lost goals,
More obstacles--
With a limited scope.

"Time to Grow Up"

The ringing in my ears--
Sounds more like a buzz.
I'm trying to think back--
To the person, I was.

Carefree, adventurous--
Yes, that was me.
But now it's more of--
Who I want to be.

No one told me--
That my life would change.
And everything that happened--
Would make me act so strange.

I'm used to comfortable--
Affordable, yeah, that's me.
Now I'm pushing harder--
Than I want to be.


Wondering if all of this--
Will end in a collapse?
And if it really does--
Would it cause a relapse?

I'm trying to remember--
Back to the old me.
But I guess it's time to grow up--
That's how life is supposed to be.

"Forward"

Forward--
Is not always as easy it seems.
Forward--
Just trying to chase my dreams.

Forward--
Not trying to look back.
Forward--
With the little things that I pack.

Forward--
Keep pushing ahead.
Forward--
Keep fixing my bed.


Forward--
I feel a rise coming.
Forward--
I keep on running.

"Have Patience"

Have patience--
Your day will come.
Have patience--
If only I had some.

Have patience--
It's your time to wait.
Have patience--
God's time is never late.

Have patience--
Take things slow.
Have patience--
And learn to let go.

Have patience--
You will get the chance.
Have patience--
And learn to dance.

Have patience--
He sees you.
Have patience--
He knows what you're going through.


Have patience--
And wait your turn.
You have one life
To live and learn.

"One Day At A Time"

One day at a time--
But it seems to be long.
One day at a time--
To keep my mind strong.

One day at a time--
To handle the stress.
One day at a time--
Or I'll end up a mess.

One day at a time--
Everything will be okay.
One day at a time--
Take it day by day.


One day at a time--
There's no easy way.
One day at a time--
And don't forget to pray.

"Stressed but Blessed"

Stressed--
I feel the pressure
And it makes me
Stressed.

Stressed--
I hear the pressure
And it makes me
Stressed.

Stressed--
I see the pressure
And it makes me
Stressed.

Stressed--
I can't handle the pressure
And it makes me a
Mess.

Stressed--
To the max
But I guess I'm still
Blessed.
