David Self

Driving in the darkness
Wishing I was coming home
It's a long road ahead
Wishing you at the end.
...

A look at life through eyes that talk,
But we have to be able to walk.
Life is tough and can be rough,
But a smile a day makes it worth the stay.
...

Life is not as it was before,
It's gone has the life having more.
Feeling lost and alone,
I sit and bemoan.
...

A flicker of light,
Can be a sight.
When everything seems dark,
Fear Like a sea full of sharks.
...

Pain is something we all share,
All different scenarios we can't compare.
No worse than another but big as any,
There is someone worse just watch the telly.
...

Although life I'm not its biggest fan
I have some people that are always there,
Helps me falling into complete despair.
...

Sitting alone is the place I've been,
Built not to talk like a machine.
Feeling uncomfortable in myself,
What is it that feeling to be.
...

There is more to this life than we can see,
Finding that time our minds are free.
Stuck in a mind like a room,
It can sure always feel gloom.
...

Sitting everyday watching the clock,
Thinking at times will it ever stop.
Do i struggle with life it's self,
Victim or self damaged up on the shelf.
...

I sit alone to be with me,
But it's the face I don't want to see.
I just a person who can't get straight,
Can't shake the demons keeping me up late.
...

I face it with a grin,
Can't ever give it in.
Life will test,
But i will rest.
...

Sitting in the sun watching the world go by,
Shame that time will just fly.
But it's moments this,
That we miss its like bliss.
...

To touch the grass to see the sand,
To walk along the broken ground.
To see the smiles and the blue sky,
Oh my word if I could fly.
...

Is it normal to feel so stuck in life,
When every step you take just leads to strife?
You wake up bright, your spirits in flight,
But hours pass—you're lost, no light.
...

Another night I can't zone out,
Like the sun at night, I'm lost in doubt.
Don't know what really keeps me up,
I just can't switch off... enough's enough.
...

I've walked through life unseen,
a small cog in someone else's machine.
Counted, but never counted on,
measured and always found wanting.
...

We are meant to be strong being men,
Some more than others to complete their zen.
We smile and fight,
Though life is so tight.
...

We may not be together everyday, but I think about you in my mind that's where you stay.

You don't talk to much, or open to say but I love you regardless every single day.
You are in my mind as you progress through life, and I always will be there with life's big strifes.
...

The bangs take me back, to a time life could be black.
Watching the pain, oh all the strain.

They frighten me to the point I don't want to go, making me feel lost and low.
...

Regrets are things you wish you could change, like being stuck in a maze.
Wishing you could see what was to be, to save you pain and wanting to flee.

I just wanted everything to be perfect, not like everything would fall into place.
