I Choose Life Instead

I swallowed my life away one day
No desire for the future to play.

No care to live another moment
I just wanted the world to be silent.

A handful of pills I quickly take, 
Soon my body would lose its power to wake.

Satisfaction I felt as my mind lost control
Or was it the Grim Reaper, coming to take my soul.

Two hours later almost too late
Repulsive and denial was my state. 

Two doctors reviving me was my only cure
destroying the poison to kill me for sure?

Can't keep it down & not fighting to try
But it's the only way I'm not going to die.

Waking up from ill unconsciousness 
only to expel the poison of which I digest.

Help me through each waking breath
don't wake me if I drift to my sudden death.

Holding on and don't know why
I'm tired of this old life. 

I wake to find my life hanging by a thread; 
with a spitting headache I wished I was truly dead.

Then I begin to get a picture and a brief moment to find, 
I almost killed myself was I out of my mind.

It was that Gods Love that gave me one more chance to live my life to the fullest 
and spare no expense. 

The voice tells me now it wasn't my time & that Life is MINE , 
to toss away our ONLY Life, for this one Life that we have it is too DIVINE to 
swallow our life away with pills & wine!

In the Hands of An Angel

I saw life pass me by, 
too far away to feel its flame; 
too many times to hope for change. 
To my surprise an angel came. 

For they were an answered prayer 
that they would follow me anywhere. 
They both reached for me like a mirrored pair. 
With arms stretched out I found my way there. 

And their love was strong & the tears were few 
the years slipped by, as years usually do. 

Some people feel the weight of time, 
which slows their step and their bodies begin to unwind 
the Angel said that`s the affect of passing time.

A captive of time, 
I asked the Angel to set me free, 
and the sweet voice said, Grab my hand and Come with me?.

Angel With a Message

One early mornig an Angel came my way,
with inspiring word that lit up my my day.

The Angel saw my tearing eyes and said unto me.
I come to bring a Message to you.

                THE MESSAGE
Be patient My Child good days are near,
I have so many plans for you so do NOT fear.

I will always be there to watch over you,
and I know ALL the things that you do.

So when you days come when you're lonely 
and no one seems to Care,
Just get down on your knees and say a prayer. 

With every prayer that you say we'll NEVER be Apart,
Just as long as you say them from deep within your Heart!!

Never Say What You Don'T Mean!!

Never say I love you, 
if you really don't care.

Never talk about feelings
when feelings aren't there.

Never ask for a heart, 
if you are going to break it.

Never say you are going to do something, 
if you don't ever plan to start it.

Never stare straight into eyes, 
if all you're going to do is make them cry.

Never say hello,
When you really mean good bye. 

If you really mean forever
then never say you'll try.

Never say forever
because forever is a LIE.

Deadbeat

How can you say I was never there for you!!
When you needed someone to be by you doing the Lord's Work,
did I not try to give you support when there was no one.
When your feet hurt did I not rub them, I cooked for you, cleaned & washed your 
clothes.

I remember the things you don't tell people, 
How did I get the house that you now want to try to kick me out 
because you found another foolish woman to fall for your crap.
Telling her that I'm NOT a good mother when you're the one that's never around 
our three Boys'.

You never take them anywhere, No food in the house for them to eat, 
No clothes or Shoes on their feet.

SO who is the sorry Parent, that sounds like you Revend Smith
how can you sit in church and preach a sermon & leave church and be with 
another woman
other than me your Wife, neglecting all your responsibilities of doing right.  

I know that the things I do in my Life isn't always right,
but I would never play with God in any light.

How can you expect me to have a nice word to say.
All these things I feel like doing you, I wether Not go that way!!

For I have a whole lot of hatred in my Heart, 
that should have never been there from the start.

Pressuring me into marrying you when I wasn't ready,
only so you could look like you did the right thing.

Now our kids' are going through the hell of seeing us fuss.
Begging you for a Divorce- but you don't want to pay for what is yours.

Taking your every penny and spending it on someone else,
leaving us to fend for our self.

Life will go on no matter what hell you keep putting us through,
Everyone is happier being apart form YOU!!

Trapped

I bared my soul,
Crushed by the burden of  Loving you!
My insanity Unmasked,
All my true feelings Relived.
Camouflaged for all these years!

All decisions made with the best intentions in mind,
hard,  hallowed soul for having loved you.
Hallucinatons induced by deafening echoes of an Unresolved past.

Trapped in the cycle of the Reveiling of my love
and living with the silence of hope that I long to be free,
For all you ever did was hurt me!

I ask myself everyday why,  would fate lead you back my way knowing
that I never got dealt with the issue of still Loving You.
No I had never stopped even after I had moved on 
carrying all my buried secrets along.

I have lived and loved but Not ever Re-fell in Love.
But as for you,  you've may have thrown away love so many times:

Thanks to you...........You've been the Only one in MINE!!
