Choking Up

These bottled nerves
Ground my thoughts in wonder if I ever will be heard
Well fuck it all
Becomes the grandest stories with liquid courage served
Words won’t come out
My mouth's always broken
As I stutter through these hurdles that occupy my tongue
I play the fool
And misconstrue these feelings I've always had for you
Like clockwork my stomach turns
Knowing that I'll relive every missed opportunity
No looking back
Regret's the heavy anchor, key to drowning in the past
I'm looking up
Fingers crossed next time all the words will come out

You got some nerve
Thinking that you get a say
When it's none of your concern
Says a lot about you
That it irks you this bad
Bigots who get off opposing happiness
Have a heart
Think about your sons and daughters
That would be a start
Just because you don't understand
Doesn't mean that it's wrong
Everybody deserves a chance to love
Save your labels for somebody else
Save your labels for yourself

I see my Grandfather crying during dinner
Struggling to get the words out
Overwhelmed with all he ever asked for
He completes his final grace
Humble beginnings create simple satisfaction
Growing up eating snakes and shining Nazi boots will do that
Even those missing fingers
Never seemed to phase
The joys of breaking glasses
Every pair in this place
One last time for Lakeports in your garden
Tell me how the peppers did this year
Secrets, of how I should grow vegetables
As suns set over Richmond Hill
Inside, you'll cheat like hell at euchre
Smile wide and toss aside these 9's
How we laughed, the volume was incredible
This is all you ever wanted out of life

Wandering eyes
Always compromise
When glaring at the fix
Hoping trembling hands will quit
A mother cries
A father digs down deep
Will tough love be the answer
An ending that you need
Cause you are drowning
Sinking fast
Steps away from tragedy
A figment of the past
As you struggle through
The undertow
I’m waiting at surface
Hands extended from the boat
Forgiveness is
More easily achieved
When breath is still in the lungs
Take steps while not deceased
Cause tomorrow
Is a brand new day
Your life is one worth living
Won’t you please be here to stay
