Break down the door

Picture Source

 

Stop the lies
Lets just try
I'll be your guiding light
We can fight
Fight together
For your hopes and dreams
Don't let anything stand in your way
I'll give you my heart

Your plan has fallen
Broken into a million pieces
Instead of carrying on

getting up and standing strong
Your blind
Blind to the light
So hold on
Fight and don't let go
You have a talent you shouldn't waste
I've heard it all before
So why should I listen anymore

You speak of changes
I didn't change
I didn't rest
Or stop
Acting different
Seriously?
This game is made for all of us
Just break your path
And make it through
Jump the hurdles
Cause I can't listen anymore
Your getting lost....

Lost along the way letting the rules change you
You have the keys
So smash the lock and break down the door

Step back from the edge

Picture Source

Your on the edge
Refusing to step back from that ledge
Your afraid; thrown all your cards down
Too worried you'll drown
Trying to be somebody

somebody your not

caught up in the crowds
Out of your depth you've lost your mind
Now your stepping closer to the edge

Losing grip
Of the reality around you
Looking for somebody to save you
Hold out your hands

Step back from the ledge
That darkening obis
It's growing

You'll fall if you don't find the light
Your life has lost it's colour and shine
Only colours left are black and a tainted white
It needs a new lease of life
A fresh start
Nothing can be forgotten
But you can move on
Life is for living, experiencing, making and creating mistakes
So step back from that ledge and search for a rainbow
To add colour to your darkening clouds

New Light

Picture Source

You think you are whispering

But I can hear your shouts from afar

I'm tired of watching your failed attempts to destroy your canvas

It isn't supposed to be easy to let go

There is no black and white

The colours create a blur

You either work with those colours or try to erase something unknown

You've given up hope

I still smile when I remember how things were

I know one day things will be

Even with this distance and sea

I can feel you're pain

I wish there was a switch

It no longer comes and go

This ache is constant 

Like the stars up above

It burns bright

It's light, searching for an answer

I wish you would reply

Instead I constantly rely on your words

Reading them with the rest of the world

Lost Sounds

My words appear to be the only gateway to your heart

I know you read these

as the breeze sets over

Your words are like shooting stars

Travelling far

To you're intended destination

Please see the light

It shines bright

Now open your eyes, nothing has changed except you.

Distance makes it hard

If I could touch your face

I wouldn't have to say a word

For you to understand the love that's shared

It'll never die

Like you're shooting stars in the sky

At first I felt pain and loss

Then I saw the light

Highlighting my errors

The wrong turns I have made

I may have keys to my new story 

But it'll be nothing unless I can share it with you

It hasn't faded out of sight

It's your eyes that have closed off the light

Life is our art, our story, our own creation so stop trying to erase what can not be undone

And paint over it

Change your story unfolding

Lay your canvas out to dry,

Change the colours,the brushes 

Stop this rush to find the one

Closer

Mosques stand tall,

Illuminating the sky

As the birds circle their shadows

The Burj Khalif rising into the clouds

Lights sparkling like diamonds

As the conversation flows

The times we share

Precious and rare

The moon shining bright

It's ever glowing light

Highlighting this bond

The breeze catching our words

Our promises.

The water rippling like our lives

Intwined with what ifs

Lets rise up

Like a Phoenix from its ashes

Travel far

Experience all the world has to offer

We shouldn't sit counting the time

Hours seem like minutes,

Minutes like seconds.

Time is irrelevant if we make it

What we wish

A truly inspiring dish

One of young dreams

No one should give up

So let's make these conversations

Turn into plans

And explore this huge stage

Without exiting centre left.

Set free

Flying high 

Miles into the sky

Thoughts searching for an answer is this real?

Ready to touch down

Finally I know I won't drown 

in this game

The doors are unlocked

Ready to be explored

A brand new level, new rules and pieces

To play with.

No longer a pawn in your game

I've set the script on fire 

Chewed up the lines

I'll rewrite it myself

My own story. 

The images I capture,

Faces I encounter,

People I love will all

Enhance the experience

Sharing love, lust, jealousy, pain

An endless contribution to the game

Come together join hands,

Raise your glass for never letting the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game that sets us all on fire.

Don’t let your hand fold

Giving up, it’s getting old

Making a wish won’t help

Take the keys you’ve been given

Stop the quitting

Smile like you mean it

Without dragging your feet

People will say you’re crazy

But you’re far from happy

So begin the countdown

Say the words

I can do anything

Money blocks many of us

From taking on our dreams

So most of us don’t try

Envying those strewn across magazines, television

The reality is, they all started at the bottom

Intoxicated by their dreams

Driven by the passion

Burning deep

People shouting you’re a quitter

You’ll never make it.

Ignore it, you can turn it around

You don’t have to succumb to the games

Change the rules, avoid getting played.
