(A note about this one, I wrote as a teenager, and I assume I was playing with tempo and rhythm in this particular piece.) 

To sway in all and forget my defeat,

I cannot respond to things not understood.

I'll sit and try to remain the thing I want to be,

Try to feel my blame, kiss my pain.

Lose my sight and feel my way into unknown town,

Do not lie and try to tie me into truth.

I'd rather know than wonder and be dismayed.

Lead me on to what you need,

Do not let me play in your heed.

Nod your head to the rhythm of life,

Move inside to an internal beat.

Do not let me be your defeat.

Create your love, longing to desire all in fire, 

Be brave and listen to your programmed responses.

Live life according to another, no

Live lifeless, ignore all what is unique.

It is best to conform,

To hide your favorite color 

To blend among the grays.

Simple is life to show what will not grow.

Into snow, aloof to melt into the river growing,

Weighing tons among the teams of nothing.

Bringing nothing to one with something to prove,

Move to your inferno,

Burn desire, burn

Red be vixen in your quest to detest

All that is best in this test.

Prove the unforgiving, forgotten soul,

Move to all the senseless mess

Of nothing in something undone.

Do not go into the abyss,

Stay in light and

Fly among the nothingness,

Into the world of something

Undiscovered...

All together hear the souls coming,

Take control of hiding,

Fly sighting everything in broken paths discovered.

Worries reach to the hollow tree,

Among the leaves of trust,

Lust the unimaginable...

Do not deny your time to lie,

Run away to the light inside the moment of serenity,

Wind of comfort caress

The words waiting wonder of amazement...
