Question: Do you plan to ruin your life before you walk out the door!?
No Intent

In the midst of society
Everyone trying to be free
It’s available for you and me
Yet there are those too blind to see

Living on a chance some prayer some hope
Listen to the hype and swing on the rope
Running to fast slip on the soap
Trying to hide behind the dope

It’s all so clear in your face
You just can’t find your own space
Wishing you were in another place
Go under cover mix with the race

Step off the edge try to stop time
Turn the page see what you find
It’s all rapped up in the rhyme
Or maybe it’s all just in your mind

Never making it to the top ten
The mirror can never be your friend
Evil thoughts on the verge of sin
Cross your heart and do it again

Looking for that inner peace
Load your head feel the release
Falling through a hollow crease
Never knowing west from east

Leave the train at the station
Break free create a new relation
Make your own right situation
Forget about the devastation

Tilt your head up to the sun
Know you’re not the only one
It ain’t over until it’s done
Turn yourself to number one

Life can change in just an hour
Find inside your higher power
Come down from your mighty tower
Plant the seed to become the flower

Deep inside you’ll always know
That you have something to show
Not so fast now take it slow
Give yourself some room to grow

Write the words to your song
Fine the strength to move along
Don’t get lost out in the throng
You know you know right from wrong

Now stand tall upon the shore
Carry on forever more
You’re too bold to ignore
Make it count your final score

It may seem somewhat absurd
It might be a single word
Say it loud you will be heard
Now go and fly upon your bird

like

it may seem absurd
to stand tall on the shore
like a single sad word
you're too bold to ignore
