Dan Barrett Poems

Fighting the fear floods the fire with fuel
Dealing with the demon what a dreadful duel
Never-ending narcissism neurotically numbs
Treacherous thoughts trapped under their thumbs
...

Out in the distance such a beautiful sight
Like a sky full of stars on the darkest night
Or the light of the sun as it just starts to rise
It may be hard to see, it can hide in disguise
...

Just open your eyes this isn't the end
You do have the strength, you can contend
Everyday is a battle, just keep pushing through
Sometimes you feel lost, even helpless too
...

I was a boy, didn't know what to do
Things went wrong, thought it was you
Took you for granted, what a shame
Without you here it isn't the same
...
