life is what you make of it
live it well, it passes quick
don't waste today on where you sit
don't lose tomorrow by acting slick
don't give up what you care about
to those who could care less
don't let a nagging stray misdoubt
turn your life into a mess
everything we love will die
or break or rot away
try not to break down and cry
just appreciate today
new loves and friends will come along
and possessions matter not
but things to come aren't near as strong
as the things that we have got

The fate of a caring man
I give up, I can't take it anymore.
There's no reason to try.
The future's set for sure.
I figured out awhile ago
What my place on this earth must be.
This world's for the pretty and selfish.
I'm here so they can spit on me.
My life is not my own
There's nothing in store for me
To help others to move along,
That's what my course shall be
I'll toil along as best I can
All in the name of my fellow man
While he continues to dump on me
Just because I see things differently
I'll take their abject lessons
Then flaunt them like awards
Cause there is no way, no method
To get me off the path I've forged.
I'm a martyr for the path
the invisible box
When i was young I didn't know
i didn't care about it
Where I wanted to I would go
with no two words about it
As I grew I learned to watch
some people taught me to mind
so that some tasks I didn't botch
and fall on my behind
I learned that things made people mad
I learned to hold my tongue
i learned not to want what others had
to stay on the bottom rung
I found my world began to shrink
I was in a box that blocked the sun
Everything around me began to stink

I couldn't venture outside it's walls
though I couldn't really see them
out there were perilous pitfalls
a veritable colliseum

life ends up the way it will
although what we plan affects it
it rolls along like rocks downhill
curves when we least expect it
perseverance is the key
to fulfilling our desire
straightforward or with subtlety
it fulfills what we conspire
the time is coming closer
when our choices will be few
our wants and needs oppose our
own distorted point of view
because what we're taught and what is
only lead us all astray
into agendas so emulsive
that we lose our earnest way.
Devious Journal Entry
I move along real silently
observing, never joining in
waiting for life patiently
to begin to move again
Do I drink from the fount of life
and savor it's willfull flavor
until it wounds me like a knife
for indulging in the behavior
or do I stand off to the side
with my soul crying for sustenance
keeping myself apart form the tide
for fear of fateful circumstance
I can not decide which is best
which path I should take
one is filled with nothingness
and the other's filled with heartache
I move along and close my brain
drown my desires in a mug of beer
let the future go down the drain
so I don't have to try and see clear
