Chard's Songwriting Journal (blues, country, suicide, Hang)

A world of awesome wonder,
world of life and thunder.
Deafness has an institute,
i beg you dont follow suit.
downward spiral plunging fast,
no such person an outcast.
walking a well trodden path,
knowing you wont be first or last.

You have a brain think again,
use it or lose it, at your own peril.
Be confident be equal
dont be fooled in not trying,
fools out, no sense in dying.
Yes its tough at the top
its easier just to drop
stand dont fade away.

Ambitions to great to achieve,
thats what negativity will have you believe.
A trail of loss and hurt,
disolusionment face in the dirt.
Stride aim high, dont let oppurtunities pass you by.
If you just let it,you wont regret it.
For life is, and will always be sweet
faith kills the heat, and gives you back your heart beat.
Death by paranoia all tied up and gagged,
face it eccept it your shagged.
Positivity keep it in mind,
or be forever closed to oppurtunity
walking blind, miss all them life changing signs.

keep singing those uplifting songs,
dipose of your old self
and your do no wrong.
Dont eccept whats on your plate
stretch out reach higher,
dont be a wingless chicken!! be a flyer.

Roots
how solid is the ground you walk on
roots
Do you have a strong link to your past
roots
A place so close to your heart
roots
Knowing where you belong
roots
or is it the place you run from.
I was brought up there,
but i dont want to die there.
my brother and sister have moved
away to the otherside of the planet,
They have planted new roots.
Trying to forget where they come from,
never to return home.
They have found where they belong.
Roots alive and well
my feet firmly on the ground
this place close to hell
on the edge of town
its where i was born
well half a mile away
its where my kids go to school
each and every day.

Roots
so close, to hard to break free
seems like an eternity.
Mind, body and soul
tired of this dirty rotten hole
The whole of planet earth should be my home,
but most places you dont dare roam.
Roots
Stay and be glad your british through and through
my roots are here, an ocean of history.
roots, the undenyable truth.

EVERYONE IS MORE FRIENDLIER AT CHRISTMAS
EVERYONE IS UNITED IN CHEER
NO,ONE IS PARTICUALARY DOUBTFULL ,THIS TIME OF YEAR
CHRISTMAS, IS FIN ALLY HERE.

everyone going out of their way
giving a helping hand
thoughtful and helpful
isnt christmas grand
families united through the festivities
forgetting of the year thats past,and all the injustice.

Two weeks of laughter
filling your bellys full
not a harsh word said about anyone
its a wonderful time of the year
when the new year begins
everyone goes into hiding
see them a few days later,
there as friendly as an allegater.
two-faced me thinks,was xmas really that bad,
the pressure of having time off
away from work colleagues and staff.
Back to grinding teeth,and chewing nails,
bills more bills when recieving mail.
Life to me is one big celebration
christmas everyday,
food n drink n festivities
its our right to live its the only way.
Try to be more ocean minded
with the little you have got
true happiness isnt found
when trying to ecumilate alot
Try to stretch your humanity
throughout the whole year
THEN WE MIGHT LEARN TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER
AND NOT LIVE IN FEAR
GET INTO THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
FOREVER DRINKING BEER.

seeing this in march is freaking me out

chard · 04-05-2009, 04:07 PM

Tresspass into my yard
read my name its chard
its not a great deal to ask,
its not that hard,to swig from a flask.
decieving the reader
its a game of chance
open wide its time to feed her,
its clear at a glance.

Open questions make it for me
the answers are endless, no fatalities
clear as day, as sweet as candy
nothing to pay thats always handy.
Give me an answer that i havent heard
from the heart, nothing to obsurd
friendly fire are we thinking the same,
theres only you n me here, no others can be blamed.

Dreams are for losers, a path of despair
get your head out from beneath that rock
and eccept life isnt fair
dont condemn yourself or cry out for pity
your crys fall silent in the inner cities
everyone and no one its all the same here
from the top to the bottom boundries arent clear
its not wrong to dream but let it not take over
it seems to me its causing you some bother
this is just a suggestion read the holy bible
clear answers to your questions basic instinct, survival.
every religion give it a read
how fruitfull are your seeds
i am just a friend in need.

chard · 04-07-2009, 02:42 PM

Pushed to succeed
at every given turn
stand your ground
eccept whats coming
good or bad no point running.
Drummed into me
im the best their is
your a fighter
and a winner
the best in the biz.
There be times when youll be confronted
by oponents better than you
but inside the ring
you do what you have to.
Do you want to be nobody
for the rest of your life
its your chance to be somebody
now feel my might.
I feel like a champion through and through
the world is mine
and one day soon youll believe it to.
Was it wrong of my dad
changing my view of life
giving me boxing gloves
and breaking my nose more than twice
no excuse, just a fact of life.
Only the strong stand
the weak will fall
what are you my son?
im a monster.

Finance your living, set your pace
the earth is your oyster,get intimate face to face.
Dont slog it out dont live to your means
travel the road, thats lined in gold.

As i was walking i saw a vision
it was calling me like a whisper on the wind
for the colour scapes that shrouded the land
was creating a narrow path
pushing me forward entering its domain
couldnt see the way i came.
Its a dream, everything is different here some how
though peaceful and beautiful untouched by man.

It costs nothing to be beautiful
love our creators creation
stop and think you know whats sinful
dont live beyond your station.

If you love your brothers and your sisters to
then you wont decieve them and do what sinners do
you wont be bothered what your friends are doing
stop right there forget about what their persuing.

head out into the world
with a rucksack on your back
a bible in your hand
to preach to the peoples of this land
how to be wealthy respected and true
forget all the learning that man has taught you.
down through the ages you see a poor man with faith
you think thats you when you sign up
its a lie you know thats not the truth
its your love of money read the book of ruth.
dont become to friendly, with the enemy
for they will rob you blind without faith,
youll have nothing left on your plate.
with faith you have no enemys
you may share and open your home
may the love of god touch them
freely where they roam
to live in denial fear grips your mind
to prevent you from seeing maybe your safe but your blind
never realising your potential then running out of time.
love thy stranger wether thief, murderer or other
for here stands a potential brother.

Nice concept..
It's a little scatterbrained though.
Like your starting with a concept, cutting it off with a new one, and returning to the last idea, only to cut it off again.
Nice idea, a little disorienting.

Nation · 04-09-2009, 04:17 PM

I've got a couple beefs with this poem/thing.
The first is that almost the whole way through it doesn't really have a pattern.
The second is that the last line kind of comes out of no where.
I did get the point of the poem though, so kudos.
Maybe a little more structure would serve you well?
It was nice though.

chard · 04-18-2009, 05:41 AM

In the midst of day living with time being consumed
im off on a plane destination dark side of the moon
maybe there il get some peace n quiet,scream free diet
no problems arising where moneys not to tight.

everyone around me is bringing me down
living isnt easy on the depressing side of town
they just dont stop their complaining
they do nothing about it its to straining.

A big headache thats lingering
a whole nation blues singing
its enough to drive you to suicide
to relieve the suffering inside.

Now im not even being spoken to
ive upset them all with my point of view
its ok for me for im still employed
they just dont get it im annoyed
stop your whinging its spreading all over
like a disease its swallowing whole
its causing me real bother
your not have me follow you down the hole.
its not the end of the world though some think it
ive got cotton wool for my ears now you can all stick it.
time for me to make an exit
to late to fix it.
