Sunlight and Shadows


Category: Frustration

  • 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

  • Mixed Up

    My thoughts are such a jumble

    They rattle, spin and tumble

    The words I thought I said

    Mean something else instead

    The feelings that I’m feeling

    Are trapped by a glass ceiling

    And when I try to write

    The words I want take flight

    My life is so unknown right now

    We will get through, I’m not sure how

    My plans rock back and forth each day

    I know that there will be a way

    I don’t have to know it all

    Or get it right on every call

    I’m not alone out in this stream

    And I know I can trust our team

  • Risk

    Take a risk and

    Run with it

    Once you’ve chosen

    Don’t back down

    Follow it through

    To the end

    It’s okay then

    To turn around

    It doesn’t mean

    That you failed

    You always learn

    Something new

    You’re further now

    Than before

    Now you know what

    You need to do

  • Trapped

    I’m fenced inside a cage again

    Trapped in fear and isolation

    Self-destructed my safety guide

    Burned all the bridges to the outside

    So now I rail against the bars

    Resist, shrink back against old scars

    I’m stuck, I realize now too late

    I’m lost and hopeless in this fate

    No – loss is losing those I love

    Concern and care will rise above

    The pit of greed, self-pity, fail

    I will break free of this trapped jail
