It is not possible to unknow what you do know - the result of that is fanaticism.

The Child of the Unknow
Am the child of the unknow, as the sun
rise as it fall i count my last breath. Who
will cry when i die? Who will smile if i
ever proof the law of nature wrong?
That is why i mourn my soul, destiny
have a root here...
Am the child of the unknow, as the sun
rise as it fall my hope fades, to make
heaven one must surrender to mother
earth, life was never a star so i will never
be a fallen star. My faith say my oddity will
never follow me so my hope's lives, still am
the child of the unknow.

Thunderbolt
I am the result of a thunderbolt,
That struck and stayed bold.
I am that result of a thunderbolt.
I'm that thunderbolt staying bold.
I'm the result of a thunderbolt,
That struck and stayed bold.
I am that result of a thunderbolt.
I'm that thunderbolt that remained bold.
You may decide to run and hide.
But I've learned throughout my life...
Those who run let life slip by,
And cry in denial.
Setting themselves up...
For struggles and trials.
When I was young I was often hushed,
I would question too much.
With unedited questions asked.
To connect in my mind to grasp.
I am the result of a thunderbolt,
That struck and stayed bold.
I'm that result of a thunderbolt.
I'm that thunderbolt that remained bold.
I am the result of a thunderbolt.
I'm that result of a thunderbolt.
And with a boldness I still hold.
When I was young I was often hushed,
I would question too much.
With unedited questions asked.
To connect in my mind to grasp.
Zip zap crack with answers due.
Answer my questions asked of you!
I'm the result of a thunderbolt,
That struck and stayed bold.
I'm that result of a thunderbolt.
I'm that thunderbolt that remained bold.
Zip zap crack with answers due.
Answer my questions asked of you!
I am the result of a thunderbolt,
That struck and stayed bold.
I am the result of a thunderbolt.
I'm that thunderbolt that remained bold.
There were no shoulders for me to hold.
I am the result of a thunderbolt.
There were no shoulders for me to hold.
I am that result of a thunderbolt.
I'm that result of a thunderbolt.
I am that result of a thunderbolt.
There were no shoulders with warm holds.
I am the result of a thunderbolt.
I am the result of a thunderbolt.
I am the result of a thunderbolt.
I might have been precocious!
But not braggadocious.
I am that result of a thunderbolt.
I am that result of a thunderbolt.
I am that result of a thunderbolt.

The Nomad
Drifting
Like dust on the wind
One second there
One second not
A nomad
Never staying
Always on the
Move
Toward an
Unknow goal
Once gone
Unable to find
Once lost
Unable to be recalled
Leaving no trail
Leaving nothing
Except memories
Remembered forever

To Expose Myself
I will love meet you before!
before all! Before all people that i know and knew.
would have been worth! ! ! And if could, i change that
But, to be happy have a price!
You take my hurts, within me,
You, that i know by name not by sight.
That is my price!
And you are my unknow price!
Now, i have to pay for it.
Give-me one second, one minute
but give me you all.

It is only by risking our persons from one hour to another that we live at all. And often enough our faith beforehand in an uncertified result is the only thing that makes the result come true.
