Thomas Dooley Poems

I wake up the same way every day
Get out of bed one foot at a time
Even when some times I want to stay
Got those morning pain I know I am alive
...

Out from under the shadow of a never-ending ego
The light of respect in the distance can be seen
The voice of optimism is no longer a dream
Hear the echoing sounds on the streets
...

I sit down in my own peace
Focused on a light that only I can see
Because it is what is inside of me
...

Lost my dream when you looked me in the eyes
In you I thought I found a new dream, it was just a lie
Truth to a lifetime now the choices was mine
...

Ledged's rumor puts shame to my name
As the Kingsmen sing it every day
They still get paid it only fades with age
...

A word to grow
A seed in the soul

Hold to a phrase
...

Life is passing you by when you don't see what is right
Living a lie as you live in the night
What is it you are trying to find living in this lie
...

Didn't forget how to pray
Didn't lose my way
I just don't claim a title or name
...

So afraid think I've lost my way
Every day in secret I would pray
Is anyone listening? what would they say
...

I am a soul
This I know
Contained in a body I am not alone
...
