My body's stained with the proof,
of all of my regrets.
All those mistakes that I had made
I know you all wish you could forget.

I might not have lived the best one,
but I hope you remember me in stories.
And know that despite my lack of using the word,
deep down I am very sorry.

In the end, I tried my best to hold onto,
The life that I once knew.
Of coffee cups, of cigarette butts,
of and old Chevy truck named Blue.

Loved ones names came and gone
Their goodbyes all sounded the same.
I finally let go of all the sickness,
Now my body isn't in as much pain.

Like a flower blooming in the spring.
And like the trees dying in the fall.
Every body and mind have a season.
And mine has come to a stall.

Now, here I lay, in a rough white casket
Where I'm spoken of in summary.
No longer am I anything,
but a man in whose become a memory.

My thoughts dance through the creeping shadows
until they're caught between the jagged cracks of daylight.
Perpetually being seared by the world.
waiting to be remembered and embraced by the twilight.
Understand my darkness too.

There is no order of words
that could ever capture you.
But here I am,
Writing, with a disarrayed heart,
With the thought of your name.

I choose to love with warmth.
For He died to keep our souls alive.
He bled to thaw our hearts.

I give too much
hoping that you, too,
will use the extra slack
and give it to others.
What a wonderful thought.
Everyone hanging on together.

Like an Autumn leaf,
I must learn to fall a little
if I ever want to rise.
Let the wind take me places
I've never been before.

Peace can't be found in the absence of difficult situations.
It's found by them.
Within them.
Peace is a behavior.
Peace is a mindset.
Situations are out of your control,
But how you feel amidst them is entirely your choice.
