Your Name Is Misery

Your name is misery
here to haunt me in my dreams
In my waking hours and in my sleep
Nightmares and worst fears 
of course you can make them come true
For

Your Name Is Misery

You are the demon 
That called himself a dad
You are my illness, my shame, guilt and pain
I cannot shake you 
I try to run but you always catch me
I try to hide and you find me

Your Name Is Misery

You are the cause of my pain
I used to blame myself 
But lately I have found I am not the one to blame
I was a child
Innocent and helpless
when you took my dignity, my life my sanity

Your Name Is Misery

You have presented yourself in many forms
The school counselor who tried to violate me
The Father figure who molested me
The strangers who forced themselves on me
A gang paid to rape me
A Fiance who beat me 
And killed the child inside me
The voices that torment me

Your Name Is Misery

You have so many faces 
It would take my whole life to paint a picture of you
And quite frankly 
I don't want to waste my time on you
I just want to forget you

Your Name Is Misery

I wish I could get away from you
Break away from your grasp
Take away the control you have over me
I hate being under your spell
I hate the pain you constantly cause me 
I hate crying because of you
I hate the darkness you bring with you
Most of all 
I hate you

Your Name is Misery

That is no lie
There is no mistake 
You bring havoc, drama, and chaos 
All the things I despise 
I don't want you near me
I don't even want to look you in the eye

Your Name is Misery 

I am afraid of you 
I can't stand you 
most of all 
I am mad at you 
for you have made my life a living hell
But no more 
I am cutting you out 
I have never wanted you around
It is high time 
I got rid of you 
It's time to stand my ground
I am going to take you down
I don't need you
I never want to see you 
Get out of my life 
For I am not going to let you bring me down
You are not welcome here 

Your Name Is Misery

The Light

~The Light~

I remember the first time
 Voices in my head getting way too loud
Just a little girl unable to enjoy the world around me
I thought there was no way out
Almost took the easy way out
Then I saw something shining at the end of a long dark tunnel
It gave me hope
A reason to believe
As long as I kept my focus on

~The Light~

Thirteen and so very young
Afraid to tell a soul
About the demons in my head
I thought that I had to deal with them 
For myself by myself
Until I slipped and told a friend
Finding out she heard them sometimes too
Helped me feel a little better
It is just too bad she never had a chance to see
Brightness at the end of her tunnel
After she moved away
She just gave up 
Walking away from 

~The Light	~

I felt so bad 
Yet I managed to hide the pain
I always felt inside
Even in my darkest hours
With many attempts behind me 
I kept hoping to see

~The Light~

It is beautiful to see how a family can rescue 
Their fallen 
Just not giving up
Always feeling their unconditional love 
Knowing they were there
It all helped me walk out of that dark tunnel
Embracing

~The Light~

Now I firmly believe it is possible
For the most troubled soul
To find a way out
Without taking the easy way
With love and support
I know you can do it too
As you go through life’s journey
Wherever it may take you 
Always remember to look for and 
Embrace 

~The Light	~

Two Hearts and Two Families Became One

What a special day it is 
When we celebrate 
A love that will last a lifetime 
Three years of back and forth 
They don’t have to do that anymore 
They are together forever 
A family they have become 
When 

Two Hearts & Two Families 
Became One

Jennie & JJ couldn’t be more perfect for each other 
I am honored to have had the chance to watch 
Their love grow 
Like two hearts beating to the same rhythm 
For today 

Two Hearts & Two Families 
Become One

Soulmates I believe they are 
Their love 
Is a gift that will grow 
More and more 
With each day that passes 
I couldn’t be happier for the two of them 
As we see 

Two Hearts & Two Families 
Become One

Congratulations Jennie & JJ

I Wish It Would Rain

Dark clouds hanging over me
I feel so alone 
I don't know who to turn to
I want so bad to run away
Yet I know that the clouds will just follow me and 

I Wish It Would Rain

Wash away the dirt 
And the pain
Hide the tears
Let it all go down the drain

I really don't know where this all came from
My heart is aching 
My Head is so full
Sleep doesn't come easy
And 

I Wish It Would Rain

Wash away the dirt 
And the pain
Hide the tears 
Let it all go down the drain

Each day I paste on a smile
I try so hard to hide 
What is going on inside
I wish I could let go 
Not hold it so close
I don't know who to turn to though
And So 

I Wish It Would Rain

Wash away the dirt 
And the pain
Hide the tears 
Let it all go down the drain

I want so bad to hide 
Let it all go 
Have a good cry
It doesn't seem possible 
I have to stay strong
Even though I feel like I am falling apart
And my heart is breaking 

I Wish It Would Rain

Wash away the dirt
And the pain
Hide the tears
Let it all go down the drain

Maybe then the clouds would go away
I wouldn't feel so alone
My heart would stop aching
And I wouldn't have to keep hiding
What I am Feeling inside

I Cried Today

I Cried Today

I am thirteen today
You would think I would be happy
Yet it is hard to even crack a smile
With everyone wishing me a Happy Birthday
To me it’s not that happy
As today strange voices carrying on inside me
They say I don’t deserve to live 
They say I should die
I am thirteen and 

I Cried Today

My sweet sixteen isn’t so sweet
I just want to hide
Go back to sleep 
Or simply disappear
What is a girl to do? 
When she feels so sad, lonely and depressed
I don’t even have anyone to turn to
I am sixteen and 

I Cried Today

Today I am nineteen 
It is my graduation day
And while I am smiling on the outside 
I feel like I am crumbling on the inside
Those voices don’t give 
Never a break 
No rest for the wicked they say
I am nineteen and 

Today I Cried

I am twenty-one 
No drinking for me 
I am in a hospital as my first sip was almost my last
Who knew I could be so allergic
I am twenty-one
In a hospital and 

I Cried Today

I am twenty-five 
I thought I was in love 
Until I walked in on my fiancé 
In bed with my best friend
My heart feels so cold
I am so alone 
As my world has just turned upside down 
I am twenty-five and 

I Cried Today

I am thirty
I am working hard
To get back my life 
Take control of my future 
And actually see the possibilities of a tomorrow
It is a lot of work 
With a hard road ahead
I am Thirty 

I Never Cried Today

I am thirty-four
In a few short months I will be thirty-five 
I am not alone 
I realize I never was
Surrounded by people I love
People who love me
Married to the love of my life
My dreams are coming true
I feel so happy 
I am almost thirty-five and 

I Smiled Today

Beautiful Dreamer

Beautiful Dreamer

Soccer Champ
Volley Ball Star
Basket Ball Girl
Not much you cannot do
As you see a picture in your mind
Or on paper 
Then draw it so perfectly
So many possibilities
There are no limits

Beautiful Dreamer

An ornery grin 
Or a pretty smile
A sense of humor
A gorgeous Gal
You are a 

Beautiful Dreamer

I hear you have set your sights 
On being a pediatrician
For what you want to do
I know it will come true
For I know you
I know you are a winner
As you keep going
I have never seen you give up
Walk away 
Determined with a strong will 
You are going to be 
The best 

Beautiful Dreamer

I believe that you will make your dreams come true

Dream Big

~ Dream Big ~

It is hard to believe 
Sixteen years have passed 
Since the day you were born
A bundle of joy
The apple of your Dad’s eyes
Your Mom’s little princess
Her baby girl
I knew it then and I know it now
You are special 
Always will be

The sky has no limit
Neither does the Stars, Sun or Moon
You will go far I know you will
Be who you want to be and 

~ Dream Big ~




Over the years you have grown 
Into a beautiful young lady
Full of love 
Compassion and 
Kindness
I love you so very much

The sky has no limit
Neither the Stars, Sun nor Moon
You will go far I know you will
Be who you want to be and 


~ Dream Big ~

Here is to you 
One of the most beautiful girls 
I the world 
While some may say I am partial to you
I know it is true
Just keep being you


The sky has no limit
Neither the Stars, Sun nor Moon
You will go far I know you will
Be who you want to be and 

~ Dream Big ~

It’s your sweet sixteen 
However nothing is as sweet as you
I love you so much 
I love you like my own 
You will always be 
The apple of your Daddy’s eyes
Your Mom’s little princess
Her baby girl
Yet you are growing up so quick
I wish nothing but the best for you
I believe in you

The sky has no limit
Neither the Stars, Sun nor Moon
You will go far I know you will
Be who you want to be and 

~ Dream Big ~

Happy Birthday Michelle

Heart and Soul

~ Heart & Soul ~

It’s not just about that one person
You can’t imagine your life without
It’s so much more than that

It’s waking up each morning
Knowing you have a family who loves you
It’s a group of friends 
Who care about you 
Not just 
Some made up version of you

It’s that feeling you get when you help someone out
Or when a dream comes true

It can be happy or sad
It can lift you up or break you down
It can break your heart
Or it can heal you
Yet one thing is true

If you have felt it even once
You’ll never want to let it go

It has so many forms 
With so many different ways you can feel it
Even a day to celebrate it 

It is a feeling that 
Is hard to live without 
Those who have never felt it 
They are the ones I feel sorry for

LOVE
A four letter word 
That says so much
Means so much 
Has such an impact on so many lives

It’s so important 
In so many ways
A couple just starting out
Two people spending the rest of their lives together
A family
Friends
A lifelong dream
And so much more
A feeling
Called Love
I prefer to 
Call

My Easter Prayer

~My Easter Prayer~

You came into this world 
A tiny baby
A king who needed no crown
Here to save all sinners
A natural born leader
You lead by example
Lived what you preached 

You love all 
Never judge a soul
Healing the sick
Feeding the hungry
Bringing peace and joy
You never turn anyone away

Watching over us 
Even to this day
You are a good listener 
You guide us on our way
In troubled times 
You are always there 
To carry us through
Like 
“Foot Prints in the Sand”
 
Sometimes we may stray
Yet you are still there 
Ready to embrace us 
Loving us all the same

When we ask for help 
You give us what we need 
It may not always be what we ask for 
And we may not always understand
Yet it works out in the end

You know me inside out
I feel you with me
No matter where I am
I Love you so much 
I know I don’t say it enough

In this life I have been blessed
With many more blessings to come I know 
While at times I ask for so much
I have forgotten to say two simple words
That says so very much 
So here I am right now to say 
Thank You Lord
With this
 
My Easter Prayer

Love Always, 
Jean Bonella

I Will Love You For Eternity

~I Will Love You for Eternity~

We started out as friends
Slowly our feelings grew
Although I knew, how I felt
A year ago
I waited for you to make the first move
I was so unsure of myself
I did not know how you really felt
I just knew that I could always
Count on you
To be there for me
As we are 
Best friends
While it is not often, a girl can say
She is in love with 
Her best friend
I am one of the lucky ones
For in you I have found
My heart, soul, love, and my future husband
Not to mention 
My best friend
I could not ask for more
In you I have found 
The right man for me
I cannot imagine my life without you
For you are my rock
I cherish only you
And it will always be to you that I say
I do,
Not just in our wedding vows
But for Eternity
For I have found
The one and only person
I ever want to give myself to completely
Heart, mind, body and soul

~I Will Love You for Eternity~

	For My Future	
For My One True Love Jeffery Shular
Love, 
Jean
