Grateful

There's some days that I have to just take a step outside my realm and look at the big picture.


Two years ago started a chain of events that changed me forever as a person . I know that there's only more room to grow from here.


At this point, I'm just giving thanks for life. I'm lucky to be alive and I've never been more aware of it.


Praise God.

Waiting for September

You left it all behind
For someone who left you so blind
Just a puppet on a string
Try to move but you're not free

I keep waiting for September
For the gentle breeze to ease my mind once again
And if you're lookin'
You will find me there
Just waiting for you to come home

Am I wrong for wanting things right?
Wanting you to live your life
What will it take for you to say no?
Be a man and stand on your own

I've been waiting
For far too long
Time's a wastin' Baby
Are you comin' home?

I kept waiting for September
For that gentle breeze that once eased my mind some time ago
But when you start looking
You won't, you won't find me there
'Cause I'll make it home on my own

Breathe

Running on top of rolls of hay.

You said forever.

Oh, but your smile made me believe it.

Leaves beneath our feet.

I missed the first time, but second shot, I hit right on.



But the cabin was so cold.

I'd never felt such a cold fire.



We were running late though.

Running.

I ran for you.

Ran 'til I couldn't breathe.



Gasping.

I didn't know it wouldn't be the only time you'd leave me without air.

You kept taking until I didn't have any left.



I don't want to let you take it anymore!

I want to breathe on my own.



When will you risk it all for me?

When you're willing to, it'll be too late.

I see that now.



Until then, you're still robbing me of air.
