For Chester

You taught me I wasn’t the only one,
You taught me that my pain mattered,
You taught me that I mattered,
You taught me how to channel my emotion,
And make something beautiful from the pain.
You were there for me when nobody was,
You absorbed my anger silently.
You screamed with me and for me.
When I didn't know how to express my pain,
Or have a voice to scream out in pain
You were there… You taught me how deal with it all.
You did all with a smile and without complain.
Despite dealing with your own demons you battled mine too.
Thank you for being there each time I called,
Walking with me and carrying me when there was nothing left in me.
Thank you for everything and I’m sorry.
I’m sorry my words aren’t enough to give you the praise you deserve.
You’re gone from this world but you’ll live on in our hearts,
Your legacy will live on through everyone you’ve touched.

Untitled #5

I'm giving this all I got whether you like it or not,
Cause I'm a fighter and the fight is all I got,
Like the fight before it and the one before that,
Fighting is all I've ever known and all I know to do.
So fight I will with everything I've got,
Not knowing if this will be my last one,
And if being on a role will finally take it's toll,
Or if I'll survive to fight one more.
I'll keep on fighting because winning is my only goal.
With each fight I know bit by bit I give a little piece up,
And one day when I'm out cold they'll be nothing left of my soul.
Until that day comes though,
 and I hang my gloves up,
Fight with all I've got I will,
Till my hands are numb and bleeding,
Heart pounding in my ears,
Tears running my down my face,
My lungs empty and weak,
And my body a sweaty and bloody mess collapsed on the floor...
I will keep on fighting and giving it all I got,
Because fighting is all I know.

Dancing around the edge without going in,
Everyone likes to flirt with fire and play with danger.
It’s all fun games because you never go all the way in.
Pushing the boundaries a little bit more each time,
Testing how far we can go before we fall off the edge,
But when flames catch up and burn us we wonder why.

Take a step back

Nothing is as it seems, our eyes often lie to us.
Everything that gleams isn't gold, like something hot can also be cold.
The prettiest things sometimes are empty inside and the ugliest have the most to hide,
Don't be so quick to judge, take a step back and see the bigger picture.

Don't hold it all inside, everyone needs someone to confide,
Every Sherlock needs his Watson just like every sun needs it's moon.
If Ying and Yang didn't balance each other off would we still be alive?
Don't give up so fast, take a step back and see the bigger picture.

For everything good there has to be something bad alike,
Our minds focus on the bad most times and miss the good inside,
We let our pride decide and forget everyone is human, just like we are,
Don't be so quick to judge, take a step back and see the bigger picture

Morality can't be explained like a law or science, it’s much more complex,
Human emotions aren’t binary, there are so many variables in between,
Most of us don’t even know where we fall on the morality scale entirely,
So all we can do is take a step back and see the bigger picture.

Here’s to a new reality, A new way of life;
The parameters still yet undefined.
A new perspective on the same picture;
The same curves and edges but redefined.
A different angle of a yet unsolved crime;
Even though the blood has all but dried.
An addition to a previously unproved theory;
Re-configuring our minds which were confined.
A new contract to replace the outdated rules;
Pushing the boundaries of our brave new world.
Let's embrace the change without causing a protest,
Raise our glass high and say, here's to a new reality!

Perfect Storm

You were like a storm I drove into knowing that I’d get hurt.
Your lightning drew me in like a moth to a naked flame.
And when your thunder hit I was blown away, awestruck by your wonder,
I couldn’t resist your flash even though I knew it would end with a bang!

You lit up my dark skies but I knew you weren’t here to stay.
You’d be here one day and gone the next, no matter what I say.
My heart the prize you’d steal and I let you, not even thinking,
I walked into to eye of the storm without even blinking.

I knew that lightning never strikes the same place twice,
And if I gave into temptation that I’d have to pay the price.
I still charged into danger like a bull let out of it’s cage
Living life for the moment, forgetting what would happen the next day.
