Don't fade
----------
I've imagined of a time
a place true and free
theres only you and i
feelin lucky and secure
no longer out of place
we're home

You will be right there
to wrap into my arms
you will be the smile
I'll carry all the awhile
you will beat my heart
you will fill my soul
with joy and song

I've imagined of a day
i wake to see you next to me
i reach and u dont fade
whisper softly in your ear
how much it means to me

you're here

you will be my light
when everything seems dark
you wil be my guide
we know that i'll get lost
you will be my fight
only thing worth dying for
You are...

imagine no more wasted time
not one empty hand
yours are wrapped in mine
our hearts will grow, baby
your the reason i believe
in love

you will be each breath
the ones youve took away
you will be each thought
that brightens up my day
you will be my life
every reason i'm alive

I've imagined of a day
you're right next to me
i reach for you

i reach and you

don't fade

Don't Fade

When I first started writing music, it was a means to express how I felt. I had no voice and I was very alone. I was abused, teased, bullied...I was made to feel less than human. I carried myself wondering 'what's wrong with me?'

As an adult, it wasn't any easier. I was homeless, helpless, and hopeless. I attempted suicide a number of times, I just didn't want to live anymore. When your pain is greater than your ability to cope, you get desperate.

Through therapy, counseling and medication my mental disabilities of PTSD, depression, panic and anxiety attacks are for the most part stable. With a clearer mind, and maybe being older too, I realize that all that time growing up I thought I was the problem, when I never was. All those wasted years all due from a lack of being loved and protected. Still, so stands this man before you...stronger, talented, smarter..

Imperfectly perfect.

We will all have our days, but just remember, no matter what you're going through, that you are perfect just the way you are. It is perfectly natural to feel anything you feel, but it is what you do when you are feeling these emotions that define you!

Love who you are and be kind, always. You never know what anyone is going through :)
