Upset

My button is pushed
Are you happy?
You have sucessfully got me there
To the point of no return
So there
So now
Are you happy?
Do you feel good about yourself?
Are you crying inside
Looking for some company
To help soothe your miserable self
Well, I'm here now
My button is set
What are you going to do?
Now I have to sit here and listen
To pointless banter
Whines and complaints
I can do nothing about
Shut up
Get it together
I'm upset
Now
What are you going to do about it?

Do You

Those are just words spoken
Taken as a token
For something more meaningful
Do you means
In it's essence
To not care what people think
To do what's best for you
In the long run
Who's life is it anyway
When all the chips are down
And you fall
And you are at your worst
Who is going to be there
Is it not for your own selfish gain
Is it not for theirs that they would tell you to do
What's not right for you
Moving on
Doing you
It's the right thing to do
For you
Not them
It's your life
It's your strife
Go through it to get to it
In the end...
Then what
What will have all been worth
Or for
That is the question
Let no man tear us asunder
Why even bother
When life simply ends
The question is for those who will come after us
The legacy that's left
Should we really be concerned
What about the lessons learned?
So many questions
So little time
Breaking off
To do me
In time.

Be About It

Sitting here thinking about life
and
Where it's brought me thus far
Made some mistakes
Made some wrong turns
Now I'm here
And I am not afraid
Not afraid of anyone
Not man
Not God
No, not even God
For I know him in an intimate way
The bible says fear the Lord
Why?
He will never leave me or forsake me
He's not going to hurt me
I am not afraid of his loving grace
Or to be in his presence
I welcome the Lord
I yearn for his comfort
Forever I will always be
Inclined in such a way
God,
I thank you for this day
For breath in my body
Breathing in and out
It is here
I will always stay.

The End

I thought I was through
Here I am again
At the end
Bored
Thinking I can't go back
Here I am again
Bored
Wanting to get
Into trouble
Do something on the double
Just because
I'm bored
Undone
Here I am
Looking for fun
Don't want to be bothered
In the end it won't matter
Now I'm here looking crazy
Twiddling my thumbs
Where's my gum?
Bored
Undone
The end
It's so overrated.

Understanding

It doesn't make it right
But, I do understand
However, I can't have you in my space
I understand,
But it doesn't make it right
I don't mean to be trite
And
I'm not trying to start a fight
I understand
But,
That doesn't make you my man
Get to steppin'
Move on
All the love has gone
I understand what you've been through
But,
You're not going to put your hands on me
I understand your mother left you
I'm here and that's not my fault
I understand you've never had anyone to love you
I tried
You shied away from me
I understand
It's not right
I've got to take care of my heart
So, I'm saying goodbye
Forever and ever
Have a good life.

Connection

Feeling the vibe
I see you
You see me
Instantly
We connect
Our eyes meet
And it's our destiny
To be together
To be as one
Caught up in the rapture
Of one another
We don't want to be bothered
With the world
With the naysayers
Who say this will never work
We are one
You and me
Our destiny
Caught up
You and me
We were meant to be
Together
Forever and ever
And a day
You and me
We will forever always be
Connected
A connection
Sent by God
Ordained and set
This is kismet
It can't be broken
No one can take it away
Forever
You and me
It was meant to be
Forever and ever
It will always be
You and me
I know it sounds crazy
I can't help myself
Caught up in this rapture
I don't want to let go
For the record
Let it show
This love is real
It's the deal
You can't steal
I'm done
Satisfied and content like a good meal
Ready to go
Rest in his arms
Let it all subside
In time
Forever mine.

Vibes

Sometimes I don't want to be bothered
God has given me this gift
Sometimes I feel like it's a curse
I want to let it go, but I can't
The flow is just too much
In and out
All around
I want to cry
But I'm way too tough
I want to let it all out
So, I cough
And try to remember a happy time
When my life was on track
I fell into disappointment
So not what I expected
Still I can't be down
I can't drown in cries and endless tears of
Woe is me
I can't do it
And I won't
Just have to keep on steppin'
Keep on moving
And hope for the best
Leave all the rest
In God's hands
He's gentle and kind
No doubt, he's mine
If God be for me
I pray for those who are against me
I let it rest
Be put to the test
What goes around comes around
You better believe it
If you don't
You'll find your self in a bind
Unable to be untied
Forever and ever
You'll surely die
In an abyss
When all you can do is reminisce
About a better time
A better place
Heaven is where it's at
Pure peace
Pure contentiousness
A river flowing of joy
Far Far away from here
I reach out my hand
Just to touch
The hem of his cloth
Then I will be healed
From all the hurt and pain
I've learned to mask
You'll never know what's underneath
Unless you dare get to know me
Most people don't care
I find that they stare
Anyway
Moving on
I have no time.
