VISION QUEST

Dream it 
say it
do it.

I'm drowning and I can't swim
like a fish outta water I can't get air, I can't get to the brim
I can't breathe
I only bleed for my dream
I'm breaking apart at the seams
cause I can't reach it
I fight for it every day
every day's a losing battle
one step forward two steps back
I'm shackled in this shack
I can't face the truth if I'm a hack 
this will kill me if I don't get it
a slow torture of death
I have to keep fighting I'm not gonna quit
I'm gonna get out of this pit
this is what my soul is yearning for, it's calling out
I'm not giving you a sermon
but I am.
I have a vision planted in my brain
I'm not insane 
this is my quest.

dream it
say it
do it
is the anthem that I preach
this is the journey that I seek
it may look bleak but I don't care
I'm going after it anyway and I won't be scared.
This is my life 
I see it in front of me
no turning back
cut me some slack
I've got all the facts
I know what I'm doing
I'm not fooling
I'm not losing
my life's not gonna be in ruins
my dream I am pursuing
however long it takes
until the end.

I know it's hard
I know it's tough
but what's the alternative?

dream it
say it
do it. 

This poem was written about someone who really wants to go after their dream and attain it but they are struggling with it.  They finally let go and decide enough is enough and go after it with all their heart and soul because that's what their passion is.

OUR LAST GOODBYE

Silent tears flow from my eyes
thinking back when it was time for us to fly
we knew the day would come, long before that
Our feelings for each other went flat,
dead on arrival.
The pain hurt in our hearts
but we both had to make a new start,
we couldn't keep going on like the walking dead,
the zombie apocalypse in our bed.
We had to break the ties
for it was time for our last goodbye.

What went wrong how did things change
was what the tape recorder kept playing in my head
and my nervous breakdown would have spread
so the stop button I had to find
and hit it one last time
or I would have gone insane and
had damage to my brain.
We changed over the years, this is true,  
and as time went on, we both were blue.
We got stuck in a rut and couldn't move forward
we went backwards in time, and our feelings were lowered.
The end was near but it was hard to let go
The darkness and drenching rains came,
the dam stopped the flooding flow,
devastation all around but nothing for shame
there was nobody really to blame
but ourselves.
There was beauty in the ashes
as a ray of light flashes
I saw the future offered a tiny bit of hope
separately for me and you, and knew we could cope but
we had to break the ties
for it was time for our last goodbye.

The end was there
but nothing to fear
it was becoming all too clear
we couldn't hold on to something that was gone
everything had all gone wrong,
or right depending on how you looked at things.
Fighting and arguing sewed the seed
then ignoring one another caused the soul to bleed.
We tried to make things work but to no avail
the relationship was meant to fail. 
If we stayed together things would have only gotten worse
we would have been going in reverse
and only trouble would have come from it.
The love we once had was not on the mends,
If we still hung out and talked it would not have payed dividends
so that was it, we had to break the ties
for it was time for our last goodbye.


This is about someone looking back on a failed relationship, and even though they tried to work on things some relationships aren't meant to be and it's time to move on.  When a relationship ends it's not the end of everything but a period of growth and rebirth  to a new way of being. Also in all things there is hope.  Even in a failed relationship there's hope for a better future.

TOMORROW MAY NEVER COME

 

Tomorrow may never come
we may never see the sun
burn brightly in the sky
tomorrow may never come
the star's twilight gone
see the dark clouds in the distance
tomorrow may never come.

Don't believe what you see
don't believe what you hear
don't believe what you dream
keep your eyes on your own reality
this present moment is the only truth 
faith will get you through.

Tomorrow may never come
we may only live for today
we may have to find a new place to play.
Where will we be if tomorrow never comes?
Live for today, for
tomorrow may never come.

Don't believe what you see
don't believe what you hear
don't believe what you dream
keep your eyes on your own reality
this present moment is the only truth
faith will get you through.

This is about not knowing what tomorrow will bring and that it may never come.  There are no guarantees for tomorrow, and the past is gone.  We only have this moment to truly live.  This one moment contains the truth of life, because this one moment is all we have.  We are here and now in the present.  How will we spend it?
