As we're caught,
Trapped,
And dragged along,
Unwilling,
In this sweeping tide.
As the hands wave by seconds,
Into Minutes,
Into hours.
As time drags us,
Heads bouncing against the concrete,
We seen to have given up.
With each second pass,
A heart stops.
With each ****** minute,
Another man has lost his sanity.
Another family,
Lost their son.
We are a strange race.
Creating constraints that bind us,
Almost as if we need that reminder.
That no matter what we do,
Where we go,
Who we defeat.
The ticking counts down
Until it is our turn
To be launched into the abyss
Off the second hand of
A
Ticking
Clock
Would my eyes
Tell you lies
Should you care
If I share
A little kindness
Excuse my blindness
I couldn't see
Inside of me
Through layered fears
All those years
I was weak
I couldn't seek
A positive solution
To my confusion
You might say
What I display
Is long overdue
It is true
This new intent
May prove evident
Although quite strange
I can change
I had enough
Being so tough
Feeling so asphyxiated
As pain accumulated
I'm just sharing
No need caring
I'm just writing
Instead of fighting
If you find
Me being kind
I needed to
Because of you
At the end of the day when you feel tired,
I want you to remember
There's someone who wants to make you feel desired
She's inspired and wants to be admired
Constantly seeks your attention
Even though you're-- unkind.

I'm not looking for a handout
So you need not turn away
I feel these days down for the count
In need of some spare change

Nothing that's to drastic
Just a little change in tide
From the in as well as out
When it comes to change in life

Spare change in my attitude
In the way I deal with friends
Even those that I don't know
I sometimes need to make amends

Also in my daily walk
Change up my exercise
Instead of curls with a fork
Get up off of my backside

I need spare change in the way
I tend to look at life
Spend it on my kids
As well as on my wife

If there's any that's left over
I'll save it for a rainy day
And the rest above all that
I'll give that change away

Cause I don't care who you are
We could all use some spare change
To make it through the trials of life
We spend time in everyday

Keep missing her love I am always,
Richter scale failed during those days,
In the ones that earthquake struck,
Poor me - I sank in her crooked love,
I'm a man simple to stupidity's extent.

I tried so hard only to end up faithless,
Should love ever cross my way again?

Drooling over an apparent innocence,
Electric shocks I'll always remember,
Again I know she won't fall from grace,
D**eepening is this sorrow in my cage.
