Follow Me

This is how my last chapter ends?
I guess so
Thus a new one can begin
Locked out

From the rest of the world
Wondering when
Trapped within
Away goes my mind again!

Oh!
My heart, it is hurting
This burden
I've heard it a million times

And these rhymes
Are the only thing keeping me stable
I'm glad I'm able
Even though inspiration is going

Yet I find, that these words
They keep flowing
But I feel that they're owning me
How can this be?

I thought I was free. 
And that eventually
They'd go away and let me be,
But lately it seems when I'm not awake

They are haunting my dreams.
No! 
I can't take this anymore 
Everything's become metaphor 

I've said that phrase before 
I'd be lying
If I said that I wasn't dying inside 
No way can I hide

I just rely on myself
To pull me out of this slump
Because there's nobody else
To help me like I helped all of them 

And the only friends I have
Are those that are trapped in my head!
So here I go, I'll just keep writing
And along the way, keep trying,

That guiding light will be shining,
So blindly
But it will find me
And say, for just one day


"Hey -
I'm proud of you."
I'll say "So..."
Then the voice will speak back:


"What are you waiting for?
You've already built the door 
All you have to do is open it
And walk right through the threshold 

The one that you've trimmed in gold 
And what you're going to give them,
The rest of the world I mean, is wisdom 
Because your style is of a dying breed

And I have need of someone like you 
Don't say you're through 
What this will do, is give you a life 
Something so unimaginably real 

That's why you write how you feel 
About the past,
You thought those things would last 
And I'm sorry that I had to do it that way

But believe me when I say
I gave you an awakening
So I could bring you to a place
Where everything would come true

A paradise for you
Just trust in me, that's all I need 
I guarantee, you will succeed
And if you're feeling gone, that you're done 

You're overcome (with grief)
All you have to do is come to me 
I'm listening
I never ignore a plea 

I'll always be,
Right there when you ask of me 
To set you free
Make you whole 

And your soul, I'll embrace it
So that there's not one day you'll be facing (alone) 
My heart is your home
And you're welcome here (anytime) 

So keep up the strength to keep fighting 
And keep on writing,
Even if you write in rhyme 
The world is your oyster

And I'm giving that oyster to you 
Now show me what you're going to do
I believe in you
It's called Hercule Will

And it has the power to heal
And inside of you, I've instilled this thing
So that a new future you'll bring 
And read aloud

All that are lost will be found
Don't be just a face in the crowd 
Stand up and be proud
That you have this gift you can share 

And be aware
That I will prepare you again and again
It's getting under your skin 
The doubt 

But I ask you to be without 
Stand by me as we both shout
(A voice!)
The choice of the matter

And chosen the latter
Is to be bruised and battered and quit 
But silence is the equivalent of never living
And you have this gift that's worth giving

So give it
Lead by example and live it 
Always practice what you preach
And you will teach another 

To discover, the power they hold 
Watch the beauty unfold
What do you think?
Standing on the brink of a future,

Weak
And feeling bleak?
I - I love you either way you choose 
There's no way that you can lose

So put your shoes on
There's a road to walk upon 
And when you've reached it's end
I have another to go on 

If you get tired, here's what I'll do
The same thing I've always done
I will carry you
Destination, sits in the distance 

All you have to do is remain persistent 
I promise, true
I'll be guiding you 
You've found the key to eternity.
