One step forward and two steps back.
The more I gain the more I lack.
Searching, crawling forward now and fading so very fast.
My only goal is to finish, even if I finish last.
I'll vanquish the demons that oppress me with words from the heart.
I'll weave the tapestry of success, I'll move the world with my art.
But in the end I'll be lost in the revolution, lost in the quake.
So hold me close, someone! Hold me while I shake.

"Life Is A Roller Coaster"
Every rose has its thorn.
In pain a beautiful child is born.
There is no yin without a yang.
There is no "proper" without "slang".
There is no life without death and there is no death without life.
There is no gain without pain and there is no peace without strife.
There is no good without the bad.
There is no happy without the sad.
There is no choas without balance.
There is no being sure without taking a chance.
So remember this my son. Listen to these words and be wise.
Stand up my child, whipe your tears no son...rise!
Sometimes your up, and when you are things aren't as good as they appear.
Sometimes your down, and when you are the thought that you'll never be up again fills your mind with fear.
Well the next time you feel like its all just too much and you want to run and hide.
Remember that lifes a roller coaster and you only get one crack at it. So sit back and enjoy the ride.
