Break down the door


Picture Source
 
Stop the lies
Lets just try
I'll be your guiding light
We can fight
Fight together
For your hopes and dreams
Don't let anything stand in your way
I'll give you my heart

Your plan has fallen
Broken into a million pieces
Instead of carrying on
getting up and standing strong
Your blind
Blind to the light
So hold on
Fight and don't let go
You have a talent you shouldn't waste
I've heard it all before
So why should I listen anymore

You speak of changes
I didn't change
I didn't rest
Or stop
Acting different
Seriously?
This game is made for all of us
Just break your path
And make it through
Jump the hurdles
Cause I can't listen anymore
Your getting lost....

Lost along the way letting the rules change you
You have the keys
So smash the lock and break down the door

Step back from the edge

Picture Source
Your on the edge
Refusing to step back from that ledge
Your afraid; thrown all your cards down
Too worried you'll drown
Trying to be somebody
somebody your not
caught up in the crowds
Out of your depth you've lost your mind
Now your stepping closer to the edge

Losing grip
Of the reality around you
Looking for somebody to save you
Hold out your hands

Step back from the ledge
That darkening obis
It's growing
You'll fall if you don't find the light
Your life has lost it's colour and shine
Only colours left are black and a tainted white
It needs a new lease of life
A fresh start
Nothing can be forgotten
But you can move on
Life is for living, experiencing, making and creating mistakes
So step back from that ledge and search for a rainbow
To add colour to your darkening clouds

New Light

Picture Source
You think you are whispering
But I can hear your shouts from afar
I'm tired of watching your failed attempts to destroy your canvas
It isn't supposed to be easy to let go
There is no black and white
The colours create a blur
You either work with those colours or try to erase something unknown
You've given up hope
I still smile when I remember how things were
I know one day things will be
Even with this distance and sea
I can feel you're pain
I wish there was a switch
It no longer comes and go
This ache is constant 
Like the stars up above
It burns bright
It's light, searching for an answer
I wish you would reply
Instead I constantly rely on your words
Reading them with the rest of the world

Lost Sounds

My words appear to be the only gateway to your heart

I know you read these

as the breeze sets over
Your words are like shooting stars
Travelling far
To you're intended destination
Please see the light
It shines bright
Now open your eyes, nothing has changed except you.
Distance makes it hard
If I could touch your face
I wouldn't have to say a word
For you to understand the love that's shared
It'll never die
Like you're shooting stars in the sky
At first I felt pain and loss
Then I saw the light
Highlighting my errors
The wrong turns I have made
I may have keys to my new story 
But it'll be nothing unless I can share it with you
It hasn't faded out of sight
It's your eyes that have closed off the light
Life is our art, our story, our own creation so stop trying to erase what can not be undone
And paint over it
Change your story unfolding
Lay your canvas out to dry,
Change the colours,the brushes 
Stop this rush to find the one

Closer


Mosques stand tall,
Illuminating the sky
As the birds circle their shadows
The Burj Khalif rising into the clouds
Lights sparkling like diamonds
As the conversation flows
The times we share
Precious and rare
The moon shining bright
It's ever glowing light
Highlighting this bond
The breeze catching our words
Our promises.

The water rippling like our lives
Intwined with what ifs
Lets rise up
Like a Phoenix from its ashes
Travel far
Experience all the world has to offer
We shouldn't sit counting the time
Hours seem like minutes,
Minutes like seconds.

Time is irrelevant if we make it
What we wish
A truly inspiring dish
One of young dreams
No one should give up
So let's make these conversations
Turn into plans
And explore this huge stage
Without exiting centre left.

Set free

Flying high 
Miles into the sky
Thoughts searching for an answer is this real?
Ready to touch down
Finally I know I won't drown 
in this game
The doors are unlocked
Ready to be explored
A brand new level, new rules and pieces
To play with.

No longer a pawn in your game
I've set the script on fire 
Chewed up the lines
I'll rewrite it myself
My own story. 
The images I capture,
Faces I encounter,
People I love will all
Enhance the experience
Sharing love, lust, jealousy, pain
An endless contribution to the game

Come together join hands,
Raise your glass for never letting the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game that sets us all on fire.

Change the rules

Picture Source

Don’t let your hand fold
Giving up, it’s getting old
Making a wish won’t help
Take the keys you’ve been given
Stop the quitting
Smile like you mean it
Without dragging your feet
People will say you’re crazy
But you’re far from happy
So begin the countdown
Say the words
I can do anything
Money blocks many of us
From taking on our dreams
So most of us don’t try
Envying those strewn across magazines, television
The reality is, they all started at the bottom
Intoxicated by their dreams
Driven by the passion
Burning deep
People shouting you’re a quitter
You’ll never make it.
Ignore it, you can turn it around
You don’t have to succumb to the games
Change the rules, avoid getting played.
