Orange Peels

I used to eat orange peels in your Chevy car… Let me be…my luck is long gone… You hurt my heart…and torn it to shreds… S H R E D S . . . . You left me and kissed me goodbye Forget and forgive is what I’ve learned from you I’m unhappy to let you go I let you in, you know… I used to eat orange pieces in your Mercedes Benz car… Let me go…my jacket is as dry as the sun… You burned my hands with your fiery passion… Give me your XOXO’s… X O X O ‘’ s 69 times, I love you 69 times, I love you 69 times, I love you I miss you…I need you… I want you to need me back in your arms… I want your love again – I collect you like lucky charms… I want you to need me I need you to want me But, you let me rot like orange peels in your car… In your Mercedes Bens car… What happened to your Chevy car? How far are you from being my darling devil? You’re my star…you’re my angel in every angle… Happiness, joy, peace, and hope I leave you with You eat me out like an orange… You peeled off my clothes…you left me naked and ashamed… Wash away the citrusy sadness Wash away my insane madness Wash me with your water of wellness I need Your mercy I need Your gratefulness To douse me with delight right now actually Then, I’m fill’d with gladness… Exquisiteness…thankfulness… He left me like brown, ancient orange peels… He rejected me long ago – doing his doubt deals… Have faith in brighter days Joy be to me, the outlandish boy Everyone goes their own way I’ve been manipulated like a toy Oh joy… I’ve been born to die I tell the truth to lie… Onto you and you only… Or I’ll be forever lonely… Like orange peels in your Mercedes Benz car… Whatever happened to your Chevy car? Why am I left with this scar… Oh, it’s a birth mark… A pigmentation skin disorder… I guess I’m a jaded hoarder… Left behind like orange peels… Let my bipolar and dyslexia haunt me down I will not die, For I’m stronger than I realize, I’m not alone And I’m not a failure… I believe in the Afterlife… A Kingdom that is of Tranquility Not this satanic violence… I see all around me… I was in pieces… But, now I’m put together… Peel away the pain I’ll borrow your rain *I have empathy towards your hardships* I’ll be your windscreen wiper I’ll be your valiant sniper – I will shoot away the foes that put you in the back burner Wait, I must love my enemies…I’ll be as comforting as a cat’s purr If only…you wouldn’t leave me behind Like orange peels…rejection hurts my mind… Acception is what I need Not your unnourished seed

look up the Scottish Rite organization to see if they are in your city or town. They offer FREE phenomenal weekly tutoring using the gold standard method of teaching and aiding dyslexic readers (Orton Gillingham method). I have a dyslexic son and I also used to tutor with them. Free if you have a formal diagnoses of dyslexia. (register with your school to get that testing done) You may have to get on their waiting list but is well worth it. Will give you great skills and self confidence galore!
