Not what but Who

What's keeping me here?
Is it lack of talent
or could it be too much?
Is it laziness or
trying too hard?
Is it self pity or
self doubt?
Is it someone else or
just me?
What's keeping me here?

The ability to change your destination
isn't left to anyone but you.
The ability to take the first step
towards the right direction
isn't left to anyone but you.
The ability to crash and burn and
then begin again
isn't left to anyone but you.

What's keeping me here?
It's not a what but who.
Who's keeping me here?
The answer to the question
is you.

I am here

I am here

Trials and Tribulations

I've had to subside

Throughout this journey

no way to coast or to glide

There have been moments

my hands have been tied 

but through it all

I have faced it with pride.

I am here

Doubts and longings

have filled up my mind

All of these burdens

I must leave behind

Following a path of

my own design

I know that my world

cannot be confined

I am here

Crazy but not dumb

I am here

my feelings aren't numb

I am here

My path is not clear

but I can honestly say 

without fear

I am here

The New Year

Unspoiled, Untouched, Untrodden
The path is completely new
Do with it the best
that you are able to do

Unspoiled, Untouched, Untrodden
This is not familiar ground
The voices of negativity
cannot utter a sound

Unspoiled, Untouched, Untrodden
Reach out and take your chance
Allow yourself the opportunity
For your mind and soul to advance

Unspoiled, Untouched, Untrodden
Unique and original too
What you choose to do
is completely up to you


Unspoiled, Untouched, Untrodden
A path that's completely new
Do with it the best
that you are able to do
