This little light of mine went dim on the shine
A twinkle that wasn't ready to show
or ready to glow
Feel like I let myself go
into a place I never imagined
but a promise is a promise so I'm
Bound to make it happen
with real reactions in my time and space
some fear has to be stared right in the face
or face the fact you've got nothing to lose
only everything to gain
that comes only with the pain
and every inch of rain
You feel on your fragile skin
Emotional walls condemned
I wouldn't let them in
even late night like letterman
I just wanna be me again
I'm waiting for my story to begin
even this late in life
I found my wife
A true ride or tie
That now her myself and I
To stand the test of time
Till my ready to shine
oh this little light of mine

Rainforest

I can stand the rain
but cant stand some change
I liked how things were
But that way of thinking is worse
in my bag with the opening zipped up
couldn't breathe
not enough room to hiccup
but broken pieces always get picked up
because they have to
cant go on in life being half you
but I'm going nots like cashew
kicked out the fast food
now bad moves
lead me to add to
the things I've yet to change

some rhymes and light story

Drowning

I keep trying to swim but know I'm drowning
I'm in debt for what seems like thousands
of leagues under the sea
All I want is to breathe but
feels like this pressure has a hold on me
Like a grasp that looks like the hand that feeds
I can feel its greed but still feel the need to bite that hand

Vibes

Empath I feel the vibes
That can't be described
So grab my hand and feel my energy
Live vicariously through me
When you feel uncertain
Know inside we are all still hurting
From the feelings we think we can't let out
You're not a let down but please let down your hair
Stress will turn them Grey
Know it's okay not to be okay

DTMTYLM

Don't tell me that you love me
I don't like that ****
So I bite my lip
And I hold my tongue
For the things you said
Made me feel so dumb
And My heart so cold
Never been so numb
What did i do to you?
What are you running from?

Temporary

You got a life
And so do I
Reasons keeping us apart and I'm always asking
why?

Am I only temporary?
Are we chill?
Do you only like me when you have time to ****?

How am I here without the ones I wanna keep so close
People that check on me and help me smile the most
Even a clown needs a break to breakdown

I don't need anyone make me happy
But I can't be a romantic if I can't be sappy
Just an untapped tree
With roots oh, so, *****

Twisted like the silence swirling echoes in my head
Emptiness like indents of where you used to sleep
Secrets we'll have until we're dead
Surrounded by promises no one plans to keep

Too many feelings got me feeling temporary

How much

Are you willing to take but not give?
100% perspective
Can you give and not expect anything in return
Respect among favors and friendship earned
Show me the level of your appreciation
An even 50/50 split reciprocation
