<p>This world of writing</p>
<p>is fulfilling casting a</p>
<p>love so strong, it</p>
<p>breaks the dam to</p>
<p>reach the arms</p>
<p>of you.</p>
<p>Carry on, write</p>
<p>my song with</p>
<p>love to surface</p>
<p>home.</p>
<p>With love so</p>
<p>strong.</p>
<p>Cast the image</p>
<p>to create and</p>
<p>bond.</p>
<p>Carry on, write</p>
<p>my song.</p>

<p>Of course, I wouldn&#8217;t</p>

<p>Interconnecting lives, reach-</p>

<p>Relishing the moments that</p>

<p>Uncaring reasons shelfishly</p>
<p>take goals like moles deep</p>
<p>bury the thoughts never</p>
<p>to reach.</p>
<p>Sometimes caring for others</p>
<p>is the only breach through</p>
<p>this life so true.</p>
<p>Acting out scenarios is</p>
<p>the only way through</p>
<p>you.</p>
<p>The pain get&#8217;s deep which</p>
<p>seeps through sores so</p>
<p>open allowing infection</p>
<p>to enter us all.</p>
<p>Feeling the pain of the</p>
<p>grief of man&#8217;s call-</p>
<p>reaching out is the</p>
<p>only answer to it</p>
<p>all.</p>
<p>Shift gears and let&#8217;s</p>
<p>take control.</p>

Not listening to myself

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>The hardest thing for me</p>
<p>to do as a fact is to snap</p>
<p>out of a stubborn</p>
<p>attack.</p>
<p>Not listening to myself</p>
<p>only makes the matters</p>
<p>worse.</p>
<p>Breaking away to say</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t want to be</p>
<p>this way.</p>
<p>Help me today.</p>
<p>Help me today.</p>
<p>I need help today in</p>
<p>the life of my ways.</p>
<p>I need help today Lord.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m finding it hard to</p>
<p>find my way.</p>
<p>Oh, help me today Lord.</p>
<p>Oh, please Lord help me</p>
<p>today.</p>
<p>I feel I&#8217;ve lost my ways.</p>
<p>Oh, Lord please help</p>
<p>me today.</p>
<p>I lost my ways.</p>
<p>I feel lost today.</p>
<p>Help me find my way.</p>
<p>Oh, Lord help me today.</p>
<p>Cast images so real showing</p>
<p>a path through the haze so</p>
<p>cruel, but in reality through</p>
<p>the mist, it&#8217;s the only pass-</p>
<p>age through.</p>
<p>Other ways around wouldn&#8217;t</p>
<p>be the same to you.</p>
<p>Lions in the path wouldn&#8217;t</p>
<p>be at your heels eating</p>
<p>through.</p>
<p>Thinking you Lord for the</p>
<p>passage through.</p>
<p>Rough or not I made it</p>
<p>through the build up of</p>
<p>tears that were the vents</p>
<p>that casted out the sorrow</p>
<p>which passed by.</p>
<p>My questions why came</p>
<p>true down the line as</p>
<p>a result of the lions</p>
<p>from behind.</p>
<p>Stubborn attacks are</p>
<p>like sharks, they are</p>
<p>powerful and keep</p>
<p>you running and</p>
<p>searching for the</p>
<p>reasons through the</p>
<p>sparks of attacks.</p>
