IT WAS MEAN'T TO BE

I AM A MAN OF GREAT INTEGRITY, BUT I SEEM TO HAVE FOUND MYSELF CAUGHT IN A PEDIGREE. FOR YOU SEE, I AM SEEING THIS GIRL NAMED FANTASY, BUT I'M FALLING FOR THIS WOMAN NAMED REALITY. I KNOW ITS WRONG AND SAD, BUT I CAN'T HELP IT. SHES BAD!

Troubled Mind

A troubled mind
A troubled soul
A troubled heart with a piercing hole.
The dagger hits me deep
My troubled soul can’t sleep.
I lost my love
No hands, no glove.
Troubled mind
A troubled mind, leave my past so far behind
The last cut, deep cut; pull the knife from my heart
How is one’s love so close but yet a million miles apart?
A troubled mind,
What else can one’s heart find?
The agony, the fear, your heart my mind cannot bare
The love we once shared no longer exists
As well as the moments we shared on the lips.
The comfort I felt with your arms around me
Your arms were not the place I was destined to be.
Troubled mind is Y-O-U
Cheers to our dismantled, shattered and dangerous love
I bid it a fair adieu.

EMOTIONS ARE THE THE LESS OF ME

There is something that's been depressing me...
lately its been stressin me...
And Im surprised Im not weak...
The sole of my shoes want to speak..
I kept the corrupt thoughts timid and meek..
Id rather melt in my thoughts than drink..
Or rehearse my plans over the bathroom sink..
Or drive around all day and think..
I swear no one knows...or atleast the world doesn't...
I get a billion thoughts a day..
well, not really, just a dozen..
The little time I have to think, I put it all away...
Work is not the time or place to rehearse a "Life Stories" play..
I'd like to tell my boss...
I'd like to tell my friend..
I'd like to tell my neighbor..
Or even my bestfriend..
Some things should just be private...
Just between us two..
My marriage isn't easy..
And my body's changing too..
What are these but things to worry me?
Where am I? why rush or hurry me?
and dig my thoughts..
They're deep, so bury me..
Im not ashamed of these questions or concerns...
Or lessons that I've never learned..
All I know is that Im in love with my way of thinking..

Im too strong to let my thoughts run free,,
There's no telling what they'll think of me..
There's so many people I wanna be..
These are just thoughts...
Emotions are emotions...
And I am me!
