eyes closed shut

What gives you direction in life?

there was a boy

who colored outside the lines

and at times he was ridiculed

he was shown favor

and so his behavior reflected

a king.

on his knees he asked

“What should he do”?

closing his eyes, an answer came through.

everywhere but here

You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike?

Train

first stop..slow

where do you go when the world

seems not in your favor

second stop.. show

where do you go when you need a savior

you can tell he favors, her

third stop…home

Where do you go when your body tired

mind tripping, ego spiking

until the next time you on the tracks.

It must’ve been love?

You saved me.

There was no doubt that I could possibly be gone.

But you held on

wanted me for a higher purpose

I wonder sometimes do I deserve this

depression runs deep

feelings are steep

of what I haven’t done

stay in the present

or buy myself presents

somethings I’ll never know

I guess it shouldn’t matter

I’m here because of you

the ultimate definition of love?

save my life tonight

in the middle of my daze

confidence fades; and I feel like low

do what I love, a quick message to

up above. Save my life tonight

sure of my glass; this wine not enough

appearing tough, fading fast

I watch my life just pass, foot heavy on the gas

I wish for romantic love, a second message

to up above. save my life tonight

Please.
