There amongst the shadows .... there amongst ones thoughts Lies a nightmare in waiting .... for a mistaken moment begot Night fires burning desire .... of needy, habitual fear ... Keeps this nightmare alive and well .... lingering with misfortunes near ...
And there amongst these shadows and thoughts .... preserved in this nightmare of hate Lives the darkest part of oneself .... pretending to control ones fate
The Demons of the self .... are fueled by the self They answer only to the call of ones choice ... Preying upon weaknesses .... and fed by fear Responding only to the command of ones voice ...
WILLINGNESS, BELIEF, FAITH AND COURAGE .... are the only weapons known ... To withstand the battle of nightly assaults .... against Demons one chooses to own
Fighting amongst the shadows .... there amongst the thoughts
In a nightmare of habitual need ...
Fueled only by ones fear, itself .... neatly camouflaged by greed ...
SURVIVAL depends upon an ARMOR of FAITH ... A SHIELD of unconditional BELIEF ... Brandish a SWORD of COURAGEOUS HOPE ... And WILLINGLY ACCEPT your RELIEF ...
From the nightmare of desire and habitual need From misfortunes begotten past ... Venture forth from your shadowy thoughts ... And accept your release .... at last
Hi Raman.....thankyou sooooooo much for such kind words........I'm grateful that another addict, ("alcoholic") can get something out of what I have to share.
I'm sure that some of my pieces.....which I actually wrote,( or at least "attempted" to write) , with the hopes of crossing paths with someone who might be interested in colaborating my lyrics with their music, may be more appropriate than the pieces you have viewed.
I pretty much write all of the time......it's a method of release for my emotional torment, as well as being a source of perspective for me. .....if I'm feeling particularily vulnerable on any given day,...(which seems to be most days), I write it out.....play out the tape, so to speak.....use it as a delay tactic when I have the urge to "use"...........when I read it back to myself.....or share it in meetings or here on the message board......it pretty much stops my craving in its tracks.
I have a couple of hundred pieces or maybe more......I've never really stopped to count......
I take it you are a musician. yes?.....what kind of music do you compose?
Do you really live all the way over in India? ....this would definitly put a damper on the whole colaboration thing !!!!! ....anyways....I just wanted to thankyou for going to the effort of passing on some really great feedback......much appreciated! .....Grace
......oh ya!.....I meant to ask you .......Does the name "Heidi" appear on my delivery info somewhere? ........how did you know my first name? ....I ask because I actually go by my middle name...which is "Grace" ...............just wondering......take care
