PRIVACY

The life that I live

Seems no longer to be mine

As there are some people

Putting their nose where it doesn't belong

They tell us we've done wrong

This we understand what we've done

We need to face what we've done

Our actions only prove 

That our privacy is gone 

As we must now realize

We can't live on our own 

It's the consequences I now face

They try to give me no freedom

While there is nothing I've done

So now my freedom cannot be won

My history only gives

They're reasons I continue 

To live as I can

While I'm only just another one of the few

What shows no motivation

For me to do as they tell me

For my life is no longer mine

So why even try 

I cannot carry on

Without any care

As my life's no longer mine

The longer that I try

If I keep threatening this time

It will do me no good

So I must follow through

And do what I should

Now what is this you ask

Could this be my last threat

Seems no one will ever know

They will then at then realize 

That this was no surprise

Depression

DEPRESSION

23 yrs

After 23 years this memory still haunts me

Yet the harder I try it will never let go

The pain that I suffer

This you will never know

As I continue to fight

The memories 

Will not flee

As I am Daily reminded

Of this pain will forever be

My life it has been changed

Was it for worse

Or was it for better

It will be what I make it to be

To  prove this all does matter

For that everything that happens

There is a reason that I can learn 

That maybe it is possible I  can win

My life is now filled with sorrow

I wish that my life could change tomorrow 

I do understand that the past can't be changed

But it's only up to me when I make it the next day

The memories I had before I was forced to go downhill

Are supposed to be good ones

But these memories I now have

Are still with me this day

I'm now wishing they would all go away

The memories I have inside

They still haunt me today 

Of the good days I had 

Were ripped  out from under

My life it cannot be renewed 

As of this I still wonder

My Journey Of Understanding

My Journey Of Understanding

My feelings and understanding

While I was young

Was only centered around me

When I was very young

While my pride was all I knew

I was selfish and gave no thanks

Until I needed His love

I got down on my knees 

and Prayed to my Lord above

But I was scared to ask

I could feel Him in my heart

Without asking Him to enter

He lifted me up and blessed me with a everlasting start

My shame it then quickly followed

But while this He never left me

He just allowed me to grow

It's now that I realize His love will never leave me

Sleep Study

My life has been so stressful

My body doesn’t seem to care

Every day I push myself

I find that I go no where

Where should I go and where should I turn?

I never see an answer

Of this I fail to learn

What can I do?

I’m trying so hard

For as people tell me

My recovery has come so far

The more I push

The more I strive

My mind it gets tired

So why should I even try?

For I think I found an answer

It’s maybe in my sleep

So I participated in a study

The electrodes made me look like a freak

I look so much like Medusa

I have to say goodnight

I started sleeping, hallelujah

Until the morning light

Music

As I'm sitting in the doctor’s office

I can hear the music in the air

It's so peaceful in my heart

I feel the angels everywhere

They promise they'll be with me

They say they will never leave me

I can feel this comfort in my heart

I can rest assured we will never part

You may not believe in angels

They are following, they are loving

You must reach deep

They will not rest while you sleep

WHAT A JOYOUS CHRISTMAS

Today is Christmas

While I'm visiting my brother and his wife

I needed not to compete

With my brother Pete

I am now happy you see

How well he is on top of his feet

On solid ground

So his days he can complete

He is successful

With everything he needs

So tell me why should I complain

Because I have everything I need

With a little musical insight

It's about time I may remind you

that I was born and raised

To be a musician

The hard work that I put forth

Led my life through tradition

I started with piano

and lead me to trumpet

After a few years

I was not so confident

I then tried percussion

At a very young age

That was the thing for me

It helped me remove all of my anger

Whenever I was mad

I would take it out on the drums

After my senior year of high school

Became the moments of rage

Then followed by a serious injury in an auto accident

That turned the page

And put all of my practice

Under the stage

I felt with much confidence

That I was back on my way

But the traumatic accident happened

I needed to pray

My life had been changed

Was it for the better

Or was it for the worse

I needed to decide

I just had to make up my mind

And bite the bullet
