Desires of the Heart by Travis Teeter
I've been on my own for awhile now,
And in my searching I've stumbled.
"I've made it this far.." But I'm not sure how.
Several times I've tripped and tumbled.
But I always come to stand again,
Despite not always landing on my feet.
I'm a grown man, I know when I sin.
Hell, I'm a part of the U.S. Naval Fleet.
I won't be some child's plaything,
And I won't let myself fall into temptation.
I've already got an' idea of the game I bring.
I'm self supporting, protecting the nation.
I do things that you can't or won't do.
And you can't keep me down, stupid.
My Name's Travis J. Teeter. I represent the Red, White, and Blue.
And I'm no victim of that taliban Cupid.
So for those of you that think you know me, stand by.
Because you can't stop me, despite your best try.
I'm heading straight up into that clear blue sky.
And I'm not stopping, just because you break down and cry.
So to hell with you, that can't put up a good fight.
Stop your whining, I'm here now. So grow up, kid.
I make mistakes every day and night..
But atleast I'm not keeping my feelings hid.
The desires of a heart harbor many different shades,
And the temptations underlying them are hard to see.
Dancing all around you, cutting you up like blades..
I'll keep moving on, if not for you..then for me.
