Sunlight and Shadows


Category: Frustration

  • Decisions

    There’s so many ways to weigh a way

    Whether by night or whether by day

    The choice is yours, it’s you who must say

    Whether it’s right or it goes astray

    There’s so many scenes either seen or unseen

    Uncertain things to tell what they mean

    Caught in a question of what’s in between:

    A foot worthy bridge or a hidden ravine

  • Loose Change

    Penny wise and pound foolish

    Pinching out the cents

    While coins clatter down behind in

    Spiraling descents

    From holes in your own pockets

    Couldn’t bear the weight

    They roll and spin in figure eights

    Now that’s a pricey cheapskate

  • Ravines

    Hidden traps to fall into

    Hidden walls we can’t see through

    Hidden facts we didn’t know

    Hidden places we can’t go

    Unseen forces fighting for us

    Unseen strength to do what we must

    Unseen faith and hope each day

    Unseen light to guide the way

  • Playing Dirty

    I saw you – I know what you did

    Playing games with me like I was a kid

    You think you tricked me, you think you got away

    Well you got another thing coming today

    Cause when you come knocking on my door

    I won’t be around here no more

    You can yell after me, call me names

    But you’re the loser in your petty games

  • Unknown

    What will happen if I let go?

    Is it okay if I don’t know?

    Will I see before it’s too late?

    Will I lose out if I wait?

    How can I survive this change?

    What happens when life’s rearranged?

    Will I lose the things I need?

    Will I know how to succeed?

    How can I keep myself on track?

    How can I keep from looking back?

    Will I know how to make it through?

    Can I be strong and wise and true?

  • Break Through

    Today I doubt, today I cry

    I look for answers I can’t find

    I ask why is this suffering – why

    Do we just fall further behind

    Tomorrow I will try again

    Tomorrow could be better, sure

    I believe we still will win

    All we can do now is endure

    I cry for help, to see, to know

    The answers to show us the way

    To set us free from this great foe

    Break through the night to light of day
