The One

they say the stronger you are, the longer you strive
the bigger you are, the longer you survive
no matter what others think its up to you
my songs, my sonnets to help you through
hopin somday that ill learn too
but im ignorant, and refuse to learn,only compete
im the plant that grew from steel, from concrete
until that day comes where you know youve grew, where youve changed somone too
Keep Rising.

To all you who see those people but who cant find speech
to all you who have those ones out of reach,
i know youre here i know im not alone,
sittin by my bed alone starin at the phone
picking it up but only reciving a dial tone,
thinkin bout that one when ya walkin home,
Keep Rising.

in the mirror, i only see steel,
forged from fire, who shouldnt feel
powerhouse, special weapon whatever its called
im defective, im bugged, but i refuse to be mauled,
by emotion or fear or what cosumes my soul,
but letting this warm feeling just swallow me whole,
As i continue to speak, and stay suprising
i gotta keep rising

The man of few words...

the last stanza is most pwerful

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
