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

The Puzzle

03/24/2015

It's been nearly 30 years ago that I was hurt

And still to this day, I'm wondering why

I was told not to question

Should I wonder why

For I do not need an answer

So why should I question

As I try to remember why this happened

Was I the author of this horror

My mind is still supposing

I will never find the answer

Of where the piece of this puzzle is

It may never be found

Because the pieces of this puzzle

I will only be chasing

As though I can’t see

But why should I care

Where these pieces can be

I just still need to let go

I never liked puzzles

But this one still needs that last piece

CONTROL

T continueMy nights are filled with darkness, my days are filled with with silence.

My mind is racing all day long I feel as though im seeking some quietness

My life will never be left alone.  I am a product of today's economy

I will never get my space whole there will always be money to be made.

OntrClol I scream LEAVE ME ALONE!! They're response is always silence.

The will never leave me be, so I will continue to react in much defiance.

What are they expecting.  The harder that they push me,

 I will forever push them back.  They can never think they have all control.

Because I can show it is me who decides this.  My days are mine alone. 

They are not to be under their control.  Why I can continue to be alone.

While I will be at peace.  To share all those who seem they they know it all.

Work

Yesterday was the day to sit back and eat

I didn't have to work as I enjoy all my treats

In the morning I take part

In delivering meals to those who are in need

This makes me feel satisfied

that I'm giving to help

When I receive more

Than what I deserve

Because of my injury

I cannot take care of my needs

So the assistance I am getting

Is much more than I could ask

I go shopping each week

And the provisions that I receive

Are much more than I can believe

I’m not asking for these

I just greatly receive

There’s not a thing that I deserve

And this takes away all my concern

Dragon

There was a hunter
As he was out in the wilderness
he came upon a cave
As he entered this cave
It was much darkness and silence
He then proceeded through the cave
There was smoke getting thicker
he then pulled out his rifle as he was hunting wild game
He then looked and saw red, glowing eyes
As he held his rifle high
This creature then blew a bright fire
The cave then filled with light so bright
He was able to see his fate
There was a dragon blocking his path
with fear he then continues
The closer that he got
he discovered it was a dragon
He had never hunted a dragon
Every shot was then stopped
For this dragon's skin was that of leather
He felt as though he met his match
This creature then laid down
as the hunter he then found
He was able to shoot inside its mouth
And this is how the story of the dragon came about

The End

Is it luck or is it God

Is it luck or is it God?

As we live our lives

We do what we want

While some of us choose to think less of ourselves

Could it we are selfish?

Could it be we’re too proud?

There are so many people who can't love themselves.

While they feel they have been dealt a bad hand

They just have to take it ‘til the end

 And it is far too great for them to bear

The last thing they think is, who is it who really cares

But does this really matter

We may not feel Him everywhere

Each day is a blessing

It is more than just our luck

It is God who is with us

And we should often remember to do the best that we can

That our days are not just luck

They are part of God’s plan

Frustration

Today was a very challenging  day for me

It seemed as though I could not find anything I need

It's hard for people to understand

 That I'm trying to do the best that I can

But with my loss of vision in my right eye

I work so hard to give it a try

Yet behind what has happened

I'm now feeling this is all part of God’s plan

He didn't prevent my injury

He just allowed me to show

The strength that I have

Can be used so I can support others

To be the be best that they can

I can now understand what I'm yet able to see

That due to my injury

I am able to help others to be the best they can be

GUILT

I'm feeling so guilty

The Truth must come out

The hard life I am living

Was that of my fault

This now brings more depression

More anger I will fear

I might just turn on myself and end it right here

Yes, I'm considering taking my life

Yet those who really care

Try changing my mind

I wish they could feel the pain that I am now living

They may get me more help

From the pain I’m considering

Is my life really surrounded

by those who truly care?

Is it just in my mind?

I don’t see them anywhere

They may be upset

When I'm no longer around

For this I will not know

When I’m six feet underground

Of this I won't know

Should I fake it as I show

May I hang on to The Lord

Trusting He will never let go

UNDERSTANDING

You could never understand what I'm going through

You can never understand

My excuses seem so never ending

They are starting to get to sound so fake

You can never understand my reality

That my pain continues greatly

This hurts so much to say to myself

Where has my reality gone

You can say you understand

You can never comprehend

I don't wish my life on anyone

As this will take me to the bitter end

You will never understand
