Words From The Attic... Outta My Way I'm A Runnin' High & Open Say's Me

As we talked about in the previous entry...

Make It Work...

self awareness and motivational wisdom... will always rule the written word!

So simple right??

Words like these sound so fuckin' simple,

until they're put to the test.

Then of course it's up to the individual

to push on and continue kicking rear end.

As for the words, the thoughts...

they're SO easy to let bleed

from your mind onto the page...

so very simple.

And even though simplistic words

such as these

may seem silly and childish...

just worthless rhymes...

even they...

can have some teeth and push you...

if you truly read them...

try to look behind and beyond the child-like

simplicity of the words themselves.

Reach down for a powerful meaning...

something that strikes a cord within... you.

You can transform ANYTHING you read...

into a self motivating tool...

if you're in the right mindset.

Remember that the next time

you read some sophomoric attempt

to create a motivational stance.

Always try to peek behind the letters

and words starring back at you.

A new dream...

an amazing thought, or perhaps even

a brand new challenging goal

that you've been waiting to

confront you your entire life

just may be waiting for you back there!!

Outta My Way I'm A Runnin' High

Caress the soul of a sunken dream

Revive it's life and will to be

It's not as hard as it may seem

So maybe you fell... got pushed around

But now it's time to fight and kick some ass

And pull yourself up off the ground

You know what did it... the reasons why

Look it up... where does it dwell

And say to yourself

I will fly so high

You know what did it... what got you down

Change your course... to another way

And prevent yourself

Another frown

As you can see... you've conquered the wall

You've made it to the other side

So proud and strong

And standing tall

Forward you cry

As the days move on...

Open Say's Me

Tranquil days and shimmering nights
Bluey green... the waters they are
Reflecting dreams of love
and secret lights

Wandering... wandering
Aimlessly about
You notice the people and how they live
How they join together
Sing and shout

The purpose of all this
There really is none
Just keep your head straight
And respect yourself
And don't get caught
On the wrong end of the gun

The judgment you use
Is truly your's
If you use it right you will see
The steps of ease
Pass through the doors
