Chapter One

Don't turn Away


When in trouble don't turn away
My advice to you is kneel down and pray
Just reveal what's in your heart
Then you'll be off to very good start
God is waiting just for you
The gospel is His greatest news
This life is filled with troubled days
So gain your salvation and learn to pray
Acknowledge that Christ is the Son of God
Believe this truly, it isn't that hard
Repent and get baptized right away
So we'll meet in Glory in Heaven one day


You're gone


You're gone again, I'm left alone
This place no longer feels like home

I feel abandoned and I guess it's true
As I look around I don't see you

The nights they seem the very worse
Inside I'm dying and for your love I thirst

I don't care what others may see
I also deserve a special love for me

I'm sure there are some who may want to laugh
While they judge me through their looking glass

I'm hanging on for the littlest token
Even though I know my connection is broken

I'm shattered inside as you snuck away
You had played me it's needless to say

You left and didn't even say "Good-bye"
This awful pain it just needs to die

You pulled the plug and I don't know why
And here in my misery I just sit and cry

So now you're gone and I'm all alone
This house no longer feels like home

I need to adjust living on my own
It's my responsibility now that I am grown

I will recover, get past the unknown
As I make my house feel like a home.


When no One Listens


Often I find myself thinking why do I bother?
Why do I waste my precious time trying to
communicate when it falls on deaf ears? Placing
upon myself the baggage of my friends woe's that
is heaped upon me as If I was an ice-cream cone
waiting to be licked. Dripping with pleads of
anguish on what I should do next.

Immediately I jump into action and I'm suited and
booted. Plans have been made and the gauntlet
has been dropped; so marching straight ahead
to deal with the issues at hand, I turn around to
find myself alone fighting their battles. Hadn't we
discussed all the plans, how come I thought they
were listening?

Was it the chatter of them bumping their gums
that made me assume we were brainstorming?
What happened? Did we not agree on what
should be done next? I guess no one was listening.
Or what about those occasions when you feel like
you're being stalked, you nicely shun off all of the
advances while getting nowhere, still being pursued
lets you know that no one is listening.

When the phone ring and again I refuse to meet
the person on the other end, how come they
don't realize that I'm not listening? Often all of us
experience what's known as wasted conversation.
When good advice is given yet the receiver just
allows it to go over their heads.

You rationalize why this is or are they just plain
stupid? It boils down to no one is listening. When
a deaf ear is turned away from good advice no
matter the circumstances or how difficult a
problem may be ...

"It'll never get resolved if no one is listening."


It's Hard Being a Player


It's hard being a player and you know the game

breaking hearts and not taking names.

Females will be tripping while up in your grill

waiting for a show of emotion that they hope will
spill.

But all you want to do is stick them and move on

because you have to disappear before the
morning's dawn.

It's hard being a player and not taking names,

you can't risk getting close because it's not part of
the game.

You don't respect the people that you are with

when they find out about you then you're really
pissed.

You just want them for their sexual delights

as you creep in the darkness within the still of the
night.

False promises you often would make

never taking responsibility for the hearts that you
break.

It used to be easy treating other people like fools
until

you had an attack of morals which wasn't part of
the rules.


Don't Look Back


It's over, the headache and the tears, no longer is
your life filled
with fears.
Don't look back
How many lies were told each day?
Had you feeling stupid in the worst way yet you
fell for each word they had to said
Don't look back
Never financially contributing their part, they just
get angry and threaten to walk
Don't look back
Ideas that they have cheated on you, is now a
reality that you know is true
Don't look back
Their features have changed and weight has been
gained
Don't look back
Trust is now fleeting and your heart has stopped
beating
because you fell for the lies and the cheating
but ...
Don't look...
