her

she could push me away
a thousand times,
but i'd forget every hurt
just to cross her mind.

she can say that she hates me
wants me to leave,
and i'll take her back
any time she's free.

she can pierce my heart,
and leave me to die;
but i'll keep living
to be by her side.

i'd hold her forever-
if she'd look my way;
i'll patiently wait
till she calls my name.

i'd fight forever-
for one touch of her lips;
i'd do anything-
if she'd realize that i exist

take another look

take another look:

into the mirror.

into the past.

do you see yourself?

are you pleased with that?

i have read the works

of many great men;

stood where they stood

as many will again;

but it is not them-

who answer for me;

when i am thru,

and enter history.

for myself i must speak,

for the work i have done.

no one but me,

can run a race that i must run

so how am i doing,

will i be pleased when i am done?

let's just say, i'll aim for a better tomorrow

and we'll see when i'm done.
