Shaken

 when there's nothing to see or hear

when all your clouds come together

they will stay

pouring out their  rain on all the misfortune you bear

and they are many

hanging on while you live your life

waiting to be shaken, folded and put away

as one angry moment in time

and all those clouds will drift away 

but your anger

will not, it will not fade

people say,: that anger should be put away

in the graveyard of your mind

and time

time will find a way to ease your aching mind

but be aware, it will always try to shake

and break away from

its shackles and rise up to haunt you again

so let your sanity come inside, it will strenghten

your weary soul and keep your mind open to an attack

of any kind and your counter attack will always be formidable

each and ev'rytime

as you learn to deal with it trying to survive

Road of my misfortune

as I'm walking down, this road of my misfortune
where I lost that touch, where my heart once was
I ask myself, 'when will my future decide, to take
a hold of me again', as it did so many times before

as I know it will, as it always does, easing my pain
caressing my soul, soothing my weary mind, stroking
my hair against the winds of time, on this road of my
misfortune

and yes, the times they will be better, my eyes will
shine that new born light and my laugh will clear
the sky, yes, my happiness will strike me again
