These Years


Looking on back these years don’t feel quit the same
I miss my youth
And all the hell it brang
Like the times we went out to airport run
We drank to much
Until the cops came to break up the fun
And we’d ditch serve with the break of spring
It sure was stupid
But that didn’t mean a thing

Holding down a job
Never thought I would
But wife and kids make me stay in this battle field
No regrets
I wouldn’t change a thing
But I still look back
Laugh at the youth I lived

Tall


I look back now
And try not to remember
Standing tall
Never thought I’d have that right
The glory of these days
I can not regret the past
Perhaps a bit of what I’ve done
But it’s all made me what I am

I think of it with shame
The fools games that I played
I think twice of that day
And how I’ve found a better way

It remains the unforgotten

It was a distant place and time within my life
The type and space that brings a frown upon my face
Within regrets
I spend my time within review
Considering what I lost
But it was still the way I grew

All my friends say hey wait
You never really knew
Deep inside
I believe every one of us do
All my friends say leave the past
Stop and look what’s in front of you
But I still hesitate
Yesterdays are part of me
As much as I might tray
I know that they’ll never truly allow me to be free

It still remains the unforgotten

Oh and that misery
At least its given way
Pain does not subside
But now I own the better part of me
And its bitter company
Has not quit faded within perfect harmony
But I can live with that
For I finally choose to be

Further


He went three years longer than he thought he would
But he wound up caught in the prevailing winds
Reached for the exit
Didn’t realize that he was walking in
And what waited for him right beyond that door
It was so much more than he anticipated
Learning about life
And what it’s like to love
In the arms of another
The way he never thought he would

And he looks back now
Why did it take this long for him to realize
Was it all just fate
Oh did he need this day
Was it all dumb luck
To end up this way
With blind eyes
He walked a line
So glad now
He’s left crude days behind

Is it all in his fate
Or is it a part of getting older
He don’t feel wise
Maybe a little bolder
He’ll take a chance
On almost anything
It might be luck
But he likes what it brings

Missed


Why do we wait
Passing moments
Here for an instance
Blink your eyes
And miss
Them fade
Away

So what else can happen
That young boy grows so old
What are the reasons
For a life filled heart
To turn and grow so damn cold
Engulfed in shame
Bitter from the moments the quickly slipped on by

And passing moments
They can never come again

What once seemed near
Is so far gone
You wish you new how to feel
That for once you could shed a tear

Now will you ever
Learn to reach again
Look on out
Grasp what you see before your eyes
First touch your own soul
Before you can face the real world

And passing moments
They can never come again

Never abandoned
It’s a fear you’ll never know
You must hold onto something
To know how to fight with ever fiber of your life
To wade through pain
To risk it all
Just to get close to that feeling once again

Denounce your name
Forgive mistakes
Ignore all of those aching shames
Reunite your spirit
Take hold of your soul
You’ll need all that first
Before you can truly ever live again.

These are really good depop...you always envoke such feeling into your posts...I like how they bring us along feeling hopeless and tortured to learning and growing, letting go, and embracing something more hopeful

thanks, but I feel my writing is really lacking of late.

There are no layers. I see no hidden or odd multiple meanings in it.

I have had a sever writers block of late.
