My pen has long since retired But today I pick it up dust it off I have neglected you long enough Today I find my way back Forgive me if I dissapear for a while Lock myself up in this cell Finish where I left off My love, my life, my world, my journey Things were perfect for the moment But nothing remains perfect forever And its time I find what I forgot And what I forgot was me Looking back at my reflection Instead you stare back at me I shake my head in discuss Have I given it all up for this Distracted an confused I ask myself whats in it for me? In the end I come up with nothing Realizing its not about me but you Though it hurts me to walk away I know I will be glad I did someday To young an foolish to see it now Im blinded by the bright lights But tomrrow my heart will give out I cannot fall deeper into the pit I will not retrace my past and pain I will not take my life for vain I will love but from a distance I will sore and never come down Time is running out and I need to catch up Either you will build me up or take me down I can't be taken down today Not now, not ever God forgive me for my sins today I will follow your path you lead My weakness lies within your hold Only if I keep coming back will I fall One step at a time I will get there The place I have neglected for so long This place in my heart I call home I do not need shine or wealth, just a pen and some paper for my health |

There are some rather 'powerful' parts to this fine 'write'! I'm especially fond of the beginning: "My pen has long since retired But today I pick it up dust it off I have neglected you long enough Today I find my way back Forgive me if I dissapear for a while Lock myself up in this cell Finish where I left off My love, my life, my world, my journey Things were perfect for the moment But nothing remains perfect forever And its time I find what I forgot And what I forgot was me" much applause! |
