Fearless

     The boy is fearless,

He sees the beauty in all,

     He seeks adventure.

Living

"I'll do it tomorrow." Tomorrows are not guaranteed.

"I can do better." Have you given your all? Indeed.

"I want to go there." Why wait? I plead.

Live for today. For tomorrow, leave an experience for others to read.

Agony

Drained,

I feel no more energy, I lay here defeated.

Pained,

For no reason you changed, you left me mistreated.

Constrained,

I can't find my voice, it's lost in an echo.

Maimed, 

I gave you my song, then you changed the tempo.

Hurt, 

I loved you, you tossed that aside.

Fear,

I took a leap of faith, you wounded my pride.

Anger,

I wanted you, you wanted less.

Agony,

You left me to suffer, No More Will I Stress!

Strong

Defined by your muscles,

rather than your poise.

You sit there quietly,

lost among the noise.

You fear that nobody sees you,

but that shouldn't count.

In the end you are stronger,

You Will Surmount.

A Well Respected Man

He did what he was told,
this well respected man.

He worked to please so many,
this well respected man.

He pushed to make ends meet,
this well respected man.

As time passed, he grew old,
this well respected man.

His work was no longer handy,
this well respected man.

Now he lies there, cold and alone,
this well respected man.
