Alone I Stand; Alone I Fall...

Alone I Stand; Alone I Fall... ()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()() In my tear I saw the Dove; the Dove of Peace. When it fell, I cried so hard; it was released. Full of pain; all alone; I shall weep. On my mind you are there, I cannot sleep. I'm a burden to this world. Life is vain. So much hurt, I'm confused, and going insane. You'll find me there, it's very dark and very cold. It's called life; I'm still young, but growing old.

My dad helped me out as much as he could as he always did. Eventually I was working a full time job and going to school on Saturdays as well as the rest of the week. I hardly saw my dad anymore and by then I moved out. My father felt like we may not need him around as much anymore. He saw an opportunity to do the things he wanted and needed to do for his sanity. It was now time for him, so he left. He sky dived, hot air ballooned, hiked down and up the Grand Canyon by himself in 2 days. He traveled across country; sending me books from all over. 2 years had passed and I missed him something awful… I was thinking of him in my room and tears poured from my eyes. I paused for a moment in the midst of my sorrow, and I saw a Dove in my tear. These words flew from my lips. I felt so small.I hope you enjoyed the ramblings of my mind...
