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

Villainous Character
You’re so bad, you’re so messed up
You live to manufacture pain
Your only wish is others’ hurt
To take their loss for your own gain
You lie in wait to pounce and steal
While hidden in the dark of lies
You strike to plunder and destroy
Another’s life your greatest prize
You have no shame or guilt at all
The world owes you for all you’ve lost
Others should hurt and suffer too
Revenge has a bottomless cost

Words
What do words mean? Tell me without words
They’re mere vibrations lost in the air
A finite selection of sounds and pauses
Only make sense if a listener is there
The speaker thinks this, says that, this way
The hearer gets half and imagines more
Memory selectively picks, stores, recalls
Words lost or altered while feelings endure
Words everywhere, all the time, drowning in words
In one place harmless and another place betray
Speak your own ruin before you can stop it
Til you find yourself tied up with no words to say
What enormous power in words can be had
For they can work great good or unending bad
-
Low Point
No words, no thoughts, empty inside
Worries, feelings, can barely hide
Try to reach out, you know you should
Wrong things, wrong time, misunderstood
It’s okay, it’s just today
You won’t always feel this way
Jump in, get back into the game
You’re still so far from where you came
You really have good things to share
And people notice if you’re there
A low point means you’ve grown somehow
Things will start getting better now

Misinterpretation
I never had patience for puzzles
Hunting and searching for every piece
Thinking I knew what the image was
It’s all wrong – my frustrations increase
Finally getting the picture together
It’s not at all what I thought it would be
The good pieces I had discovered
Are hidden and changed by reality
I’ve spread out the pieces still trying
To fix it but just made a mess
This image has crumbled around me
My misinterpretations now I confess
Turns out this is not my puzzle
And it’s time now to walk away
It wasn’t a waste – it was worth it
For now I am wiser today
