wading into life


wading deeper into life,
baring all pain and strife,
not willing to settle for defeat,
disappointment lapping at my feet.

running, wading, away from this,
I try to escape it, evade the hits,
I know that only I can fix,
I can change it, and smile again.

the one thing I love is fading fast,
I'll try to recover and make it last.
I will fight, and kick and bite and shove,
to show you that you're the one that I love.

running, wading, away from this,
I try to escape it, evade the hits,
I know that only I can fix,
I can change it, and smile again.

I can make it my own, 
I can take it alone,
I don't have to do this
he will help me through this.

running, wading, away from this,
I try to escape it, evade the hits,
I know that only I can fix,
I can change it, and smile again.

running, wading, away from this,
I try to escape it, he takes the hits,
I know that together we can fix,
we can change it, and smile again.

one in twenty is not misread

as I approach the path,
it takes me by surprise,
for an instant I can see,
at the end, what lies.

the turns of disappointment,
the curves of sadness,
all stem from lack of treatment,
for the times with no lack is gladness.

the stretches of loneliness seem the longest,
are usually the shortest in reality,
I face the days with my strongest,
crush my weakness with my actuality.

not every word I right inspires,
its the way they are said,
they can only admire,
if one in twenty is not misread.
