Face Value

Im not a soul hider/ Soul survivor/ Cant see myself without God/ I am not lieing/ I do not perpetuate the lies/ Im not a liar/ Far from dieing/ My molecules multiplying/ Dead fish in the pond/Another hopeful oversized heart dieing/ Devil crying / The lord seized the day to free the lion/ But where would the lion be/ Hypocrisy/ Your the only person able to deal with the photography/ Such blasphemy William K. Butler

Below zero

Attempt to bring me to the light/ What once was darkness/ Hop potato/ Ready but clueless to the turn around in life/ Support states away / Friends acting as if my heart is to give away/ Haven't seen my right hand since he last went away/ Outta state out of mind/ Only a fools fool for that belief William Butler

Break through

Face the dream/ What it seems/ A bad case of/ I almost didnt give a fuck/ But my nresistance stands before me/ Not cowarding/ But conquering/ Not giving in/ But breaking through/ Seeing it through/ The impossible/ Common sense but reluctant to say/ Is that possible/ Tired of picking through the scraps/ I should have more options/ I will have more options/ One goal to pursue/ This is what has shifted my attention/ Living through these trials/ My determination is a relentless tool William K. Butler

What am I to do

Feeling Like what should I do/ Who is who/ But the real world has its own/ Which strand do I live on/ Not looking forward to staying for the long haul/ Live alone/ No dog/ Impartial about a partner/ Elevated focus I call it/ Can you tell me what is missing/ all doors locked/ The keys are on t/he opposite side Living to learn/ Apply what you learn from living/ This is my instrument/ Teach me to play something unorthodox/ What should i do William K. Butler

Hollow blessings

Attend church on his gracious day Follow the word to its up most accountability Say grace everyday before and after your meal Not going a day without praising him Wishing well to others for they do not have the same faith Faith Blessings Praying Church This doesn't make you a saint This doesn't give you the right to cast hollow blessings for something you have no beliefe towards What a contradiction Who are you kidding As God as my witness I feel ashamed to have thought such a thing But where is the logic How would you feel to be told half of something because the other half in not true Keep your blessings to yourself I do not believe they will be received The way it is intended Wrapping a lie up with a god forsaken blanket I didnt want to underestimate it Nor did i want to overlook it But I know for sure I will not send out blessings if does not emulate the system in whcih it came from Pass no judgement And believe God exist Regardless of the circumstances William K. Butler

Why be discouraged

Who are you to stray away from what is rightfully yours/ No reason for it not to be declared/ You will still have to fight another day/ Though the reflection is hard to bare/ Face it/ Acknowledge it/ That you are somebody/ Regardless of the standards set forth/ You will be that someone to shed light on what cant be seen/ It is much easier to give up then to continue / Pushing/ Stroking/ Fighting the fight/ Why be discouraged/ Never gave myself the choice to fight or flight/ Not in my nature/ Not in my character and def not in my era/ So why be so discouraged/ At the end all be all/ You are discouraging yourself/ Imagine that! William K. Butler

What is this

Is it a conspiracy
Is it a theory
Do you follow up one with the other
Can one exist without the other
Are there boundaries in this field
Am I boundless to my own demise
Is it a theory
Is it a conspiracy
I think the world wants both
Why would you want that
Who would want that
Steady but surely
I feel like its a theory
I'm speechless
But trying to keep the faith when I do not know how to

William K. Butler
