Trapped and Lost

Endless madness,                                          02-12-2000
blurs my mind...
I look around
and can not find...

Any Peace or Reconciliation...

There is a war deep within myself...
These demons, I can not stop the things I do,
when they possess my mind...
I can not escape
what I have locked inside...

For it is I who bares the key...

What am I,
but not like the rest...
Each and every day
seems to be a test...
A fight for survival,

A hunt, an endless nightmare...

I am trapped,
held hostage by a force
more greater than man...
God is what is deep within...

What happens is the choice
that I'm overthrown by...
I can not be free...
I have no choice,
the choices are made by 
my spiritual intellect...

Everyday seems to drift apart,                                             02-19-2000
from all my empty life...
The fulfillment of all things,
I had hoped to have,

washed away by a past disturbed....

If only love was stronger,
maybe it would have not been so bad...
But the drifting apart,
torn away all those hopes and dreams...
If only faith was stronger
and the belief not denied...
If I was loved for me inside,
instead of what I was capable of doing...

Must I strive forth to more days,
and have to dwell on the way
I had hoped how things could have been???
It could have been a lot more,
It seems to be lost...
But it is there... 

I must find myself to establish the way,
I had always wished our lives would have been...

written while I was in Sircys mental institution... 12-12-00 and 12-19-00

All I Ask Is: Believe In Me

That I am, what I say I am...
A GODDESS:

For I am the EYE:
That watches over all...

I am the HAND:
That heals those who suffers... 

I am the GIVER:
Who offers my love
to warm all hearts...

I am the KNOWER:
Of all those who needs 
an answer...

I am the ANARCHIST:
Who fights to rid the world
of worldly order...

I am the KEEPER:
Who holds the key,
to a Majistic Beautiful Paridise,
Where all will be free...

I am TRUTH:
For I want the best
and will sacrifice the worst...

I am the FORGIVER:
Who forgives all who keeps
their faith in me...

I am the PUNISHER: 
Who will destroy those
who always carry out evil ways...

I am a GENIE:
Who grants
wishes for good...

I am LOVE:
Pure to the Heart
and cleansing of all souls...

I am LIGHT:
That's always within
that will never grow dim...

I am ETERNAL:
I am never forgotten...

And I am a COMFORTER:
To keep all safe
from all evil...

I am all these things,
Because I Believe:
In a better life 
and a better world,
where there is always PEACE...
Where the only tears to be shed,
are those of JOY and HAPPINESS...

And I love you,
for you are a part of me,
that keeps me REAL...

Because you Believe:
I am ALIVE,
I am REAL,
and I am ME...

My Love to Everyone...
                                             GODDESS TINA

-death- I Do Not Fear

Pardon me Quaintly,
my DEAR FRIEND...
For how would you feel,
If I brought the End?

My eyes are empty,
and my soul is Black...
Nothings to living,
there's no coming Back...

Everyday,is a waste,
I waste my Breath...
I await the call, 
from my friend DEATH...

His presence, I've found,
I know he's near...
I'm ready to step out,
out of life's fear...

Oh, the wonderful thought,
*DEATH* to Die!!!
TO experience it now,
beats being alive...

I imagine it to be,
an incredible masquerade...
For I fear life,
*DEATH* I am not Afraid...

It's a seclusion of Peace,
it's simple to be free...
out of this Body,
and away from Me...

To drift away amongst,
the beginning of Time...
On a complete Disconnection,
On a short term Line...

DEATH, DEATH my friend,
I'm calling Thee!!!
I'm awaiting your call,
to let me be Free...

I want to sink,
to fade away...
Away from this world,
I see everyday...

Slowly, Slowly I like,
*TO DIE* my friend...
So I can feel all  the pain,
Of my tormented End...

Why, Why am I,
Am I still Here?
For I tell you *DEATH*
I DO NOT FEAR!!!

A Warning and a Promise

Every day is a Battle...
What is it?
HATE...

Hatred of being ALIVE...

I awake,
DEAD...

I am LOST...

I hate this body,
I hate EVERYTHING...

Nothing matters,
I'm a failure...
Each and every day
I fade further away...

You think I'm happy,
because I smile?
I'll laugh and joke with you all,
but there is no JOY...

When I'm alone,
it's all different...
I try to fight it...
It grows,
it's the hunger...

My appetite is DEATH...

Something inside me tells me to..
I want to,
I want to DIE...

I joke about it,
But I'm serious...

Because when the feeling comes,
it is abominable...

I can not predict the END...

But I know it's near,
it has gotten worse...
Today I feel it,
tomorrow I may do it...
It may be tonight....

I just can't tell you,
but I wish them feelings
Subside...

I wish the pain to go away,
But wishes are wishes
and wishes don't come true for me...

Because I wish the world a better place,
I wish for peace,
I wish for happiness
and I wish there was never no pain...

I hate what I see,
I hate what I feel...

It's a nightmare and it has swallowed me...

Maybe, Maybe Today,
and the past will be forgotten...

For I've been forgotten,
I am Lost...
DEAD, and in Pain...

Tomorrow I say GOODBYE...
                           
                                       Maybe not...

Within the Looking Glass: Conclusion

Now this cross is carried...And a crucifixion--AWAITS--and the blood 
which has fallen--to late--for an answer, to late to be saved!!! A thousand
eyes--wondering/staring deep inside, looking for forgiveness inside of dead eyes
gone astray...A hint of darkness, begging eyes that fade...deep within the
voices--CRYING/CALLING my name...it's better off inside here--so peaceful and safe...
No feelings, no sadness, no sorrow, no pain...I'm now free from the madness--
drifting-- freely/happily away...Away...Away...This will not last forever...
SADLY--I begin to feel--I breathe in the poison, of a new life I start--AGAIN--
in a new life I begin again...And there is no END...TORMENT... TO grow again---
to feel again-- to hurt again--to lose my mind, over and over and over again...
There is no never, there is never an END...PERPETUAL, CONTINUOUS SICK LIFE!!!
There is no absolute meaning...Just a struggle to get by...Forever, and ever and ever
TORMENT!!!

Within the looking glass--why can't I get in??? Be the one on the inside, instead 
of the one lost within??? I can't stand to look at you, to see the distorted reflection...
Is it me, or is it an ILLUSION??? I don't even recognize you...It can't be me!!!
Maybe one day--once again I can step inside, and not come back...Maybe I could just
fade away--DISAPPEAR--never exist...And maybe in all actuality--I DON"T!!!
Maybe, I'm just a figment in someone elses mind...Maybe, I haunt them with a MADNESS...
Or maybe, I am INSANE!!! Or just a little confused...There is a QUESTION to my SANITY,
but an unheard answer... 

Be one looking out--instead of the one looking in!!!

Trisha Lynn

If only you knew,
How many tears I've shed...
Or how painful it was,
To let you go...

The only way I could subdue the pain,
Was to accept my lost...

But thru it all,
The pain was still deep within...
A deep scar that stretched across my heart,
A wound that always bled within...

Knowing that you could never,
Be a part of my life...

It always, hurt like hell,
Letting you go... 
The worst pain, 
Was knowing how close you were...
So close,
But not being able to see you...

Why?..
Why was i being punished?..
Why?..
Why wouldn't I allowed to see you?..

All I ever wanted was the best for you,
And she knew that...
I wanted you to have stability, 
Something I was unable to provide...

But I never knew that,
Stability meant, that I wouldnt be able to see you...
Even though I was told I could...

I never knew that,
Stability meant, that you could only see your dad...
In the penitentiary...

The dad, that was the cause of all that's lost,
The one with whom I had truly loved...
Whom, I gave my all and more to,
All, including the descration of myself...
To prove my love,
Was always a sacrifice...

To prove my love,
And to be told by him that my love for him wasn't real...

Never ever let a man you love,
Tell you to prove your love...
Because if he tells you by doing something,
You normally would never do, as proof...
Then that basically means he really doesn't love you...

Always love yourself, 
Never let anyone talk you into self destruction..

I've seen your online profile pics,
I don't understand why you stopped texting me..
Or why you don't respond when I message you,
On facebook...

You're growing up,
So beautiful and scarred...
Wounds deep within,
Bleeding from not knowing the truth...
Wounds that come to surface,
That free you from feeling the pain...
Yet only for a moment,
And it all resurfaces again...

My love for you, 
Always remains...
The pain of my lost,
Has always been the same...

You're not alone,
You're always in my heart... 
This unhealing scar,
Will forever bleed, while we're apart...

I wish for that one day,
To see you again...

I'm sorry I can't come see you,
No matter how much I would love to...
I'm not going back to jail,
For failing to pay money, that I shouldn't owe...
If I end up in jail,
Where would your little half sis go?..

So I'll look forward to that one day,
Someday...
For that healing to begin...

You know where I am,
And here I'll always be...

I'll always love you,
My first born, 
My Trisha Lynn...

If You Could Change Your Past

Twas, it is a riddle,
my past so deeply despair...
If I could change my past,
I would not be here...
If I knew I was gonna be marked,
as soon as I took my first breath...
My first choice in life,
would had been DEATH...


But, yet haste, I made it thus far,
Burden of despair a painful scar...

I carry 10,000,000,
that's ten million crosses for those in pain...
And not a second chance in life,
do I have to gain...

Yes, I chosen to be nailed to this cross...
For I will die for the wounded and lost...

If I could in by any means,
die to rid the world of all its sorrow...
I'll die right here today,
and rise tomorrow...

Still you ponder as you question me...
For things that has happened were meant to be...

For all the wrong,
a right was learned...
For all the good things put out,
a blessing was earned...

I've lived a life in a storm...
Being tossed and thrown and even torn...

Yet, I still stand...
By all the hurt I've taken,
I'm still stronger than man...

But here I sit doing time...
Sitting in innocence,
for there's no guilt in my crime...

People that hate me,
carry their nails.
Blasphemy me and curse me,
with their hateful yells...

For they carry jealousy and evil hearts...
Their fast hateful words are thrown like darts...
And they don't miss a single throw...
They hit my heart and pierce my soul...

Yet I still try to stay strong....
For I forgive them,
for all their wrongs...

This riddle maybe hard to understand...
But life is useless, 
so there's no harm to make it end...

I may be young,
and have more knowledge to gain...
But it's not worth walking and carrying,
all the burdens of pain...

I lived a life,
both good and bad...
I had times of joy and plenty,
were sad...

But now, all is lost,
and I've had enough...
Life is hard,
and love is tough...

But I gave all I could,
the best I can.
My life was cheated,
with these cards in my hand...

Yes< I can make it better,
there is no doubt in my mind...
I could forget the past,
and leave it all behind...

But I choose not, 
because it's always there.
And no matter how hard I try,
I'm still all troubled and in despair...

I don't think I'd change, anything in my past at all...
For I gained wisdom and knowledge, and that's about all....

written 07-20-2000- in CCJ, this was an assignment from mental health. the original title
given was "What would you like to change in your past that would keep you out of this trouble"

Don'T Judge

Don't judge me,
When you don't know...
Because there a reasons,
For all the things I've done...

Don't make assumptions,
about my past...
When you haven't heard, 
The stories of my life...

For things that happened,
I do take responsibility for...
But the things I've done,
Never hurt no-one, but me...

I made bad choices,
There is no doubt...
But with a love I felt so true,
there seemed to be no way out...

When blinded by love, and hope,
Things could go two ways...
Whether good or bad, 
There's choices to be made...

My life  has been complicated,
But I'm not what some assume of me to be...
I'm a very generous, loving being,
And I'm Super Awesomely Sweet...

Everybody has a past,
Whether good or bad...
But if you don't hear their story,
You can't judge who they are...

We're not perfect,
Nobody in this world is...
Look upon your own flaws,
Before casting judgement on others....

If You Could Talk To God: Oh, Dear God,

If I could talk to God,
I would ask him if he would take away.
All this pain and suffering,
That infects this world every day.

As my heart it aches with this sickness,
of all the sickness in this world which I face.
I'd ask dear God, My one true God,
Could you please rid the evil, that has taken place.

On my knees I beg dear God,
this madness that surrounds me is wrong.
I fight to make it,
In a world where I don't seem to belong.

Oh dear God, help this world,
What is going on?
Why can't the human race open their eyes,
and try to get along.

My God, I know you placed me here,
To better the world and make them see.
But I feared that I was incapable,
To do the work you asked of me.

Dear God, I know you're always right,
It's to late to change a world that's in Satan's hands.
For all those who had pledge allegiance.
To a flag in a country that never understands.

Dear God, please help me,
Bear the weight of this cross.
For I dear God will give my life, 
to save the wounded and lost.

Dear God I will await thee,
For when that time arise.
I will carry out your will,
until the enemies demise.

Death, I Do Not Fear

Pardon me quaintly,
my dear friend...
For how would you feel,
if I brought the end?

My eyes are empty,
my soul is black...
Nothings to living,
there's no coming back...

Everyday, s a waste,
I waste my breath...
I, await the call,
from my friend, DEATH...

His presence, I've found,
I know he's near...
I'm ready to step out,
out of life's fear...

Oh, the joyous thought,
*DEATH* to die....
To experience it now,
beats, being alive.

I imagine it to be,
an incredible masquerade...
For I fear life,
*DEATH* I'm not afraid...

It's a seclusion of peace,
it's simple to be free...
Out of this body,
away from me...

To drift away amongst,
the beginning of time...
On a complete disconnection,
on a short term line...

Death, Death my friend,
I'm calling thee...
I'm awaiting your call,
to let me be free...

I want to sink,
to fade away...
Away, from this world,
I see every day...

Slowly, slowly I like,
*TO DIE* my friend...
So I can feel every pain,
of my tormented end...

Why, why am I,
am I still here?
For I tell you *DEATH*
"I do not fear"...
