My Mask

It hurts all the time
This pain in me never stops
I want to cry for you
I want to scream for you
I want to beg for you
I want you to be here
This cant be fair
This cant be real

But I smile and I laugh
I get up every morning to go to work
Throw on a happy face and make some jokes
I come home and enjoy my day
I have fun
And I continue on
But I’m so hurt
I’m so lost

Seeing you in there killed me
I could never get the phone call out my head
The screams from my mom
The walk up there to see if it was true
But most of all I wont forget you
In the casket
Touching your hand
You were so cold
You didn’t belong there
Seeing you go into the ground
Seeing them fall apart
Feeling my heart break into pieces
When all I could do is scream
I will never forget that day

And every time I smile I want to cry
Every time I laugh I want to cry
Every time I think I want to cry
Every breath I take takes a little bit out of me
Because I want to cry

I want this to not be real
I want to had spend more time with you
I want to hug you
Laugh with you 
Tell you I love you
That I was always there
That I am still always here

I am so broken
But I continue on with life

Because God took you and not me
He wanted me here for a reason
So ill continue on for
You
I will laugh
And smile
And pretend
Anything to make it to the end
To see you

I miss you just isn’t enough
It doesn’t mean enough


What heals a broken heart?
Time they say

But time wont bring you back
So my heart stays broken
As I pretend to smile

I miss you
I miss you
I miss you


As I’m falling apart

My mask then goes on



RIP Bebo... 17 was to young

Im So Very Sorry

I brought you all here today
For something very important I have to say
An apology of some sorts
Lets start with you the oldest of course
I’m sorry that you don’t shut up
I’m sorry that your such a klutz
I’m sorry you have no brain
Oh an I’m sorry that you are you
But most of all I’m sorry I love you
Now who is next
Yes you in the shorts
I’m sorry that things don’t go your way
I’m sorry that everything is a game
I’m sorry if you can never be serious
I’m sorry that your delirious 
Yes many things are very wrong with you
Oh and I’m sorry I love you
Hmm next let me see
The youngest one of the ones I see
Yes I am sorry for who you are
I’m sorry for your life thus far
I’m sorry that you complain so much
I’m sorry that you mess up
I’m sorry that you cant think straight
I’m sorry you also have no brain
But most of all I’m sorry that I love you
Oh this felt good yes indeed
But oh oh oh
I’m sorry I love you three!!!

*Dedicated to all the people I love no matter what*

Stop Sign

I stare into the world
I feel the slight breeze tickle my check
I close my eyes and here the silence overtake me
I want to stay in this forever
I want this moment to last
 A moment of clarity
A moment of no pain
Or hurt or sorrow
 Just me and the air and the silence
Once I open my eyes this will end
I feel if I let it end
It will never return
I want to stay like this forever
 I pray and dream to stay like this forever
And then at that moment I open my eyes
I feel the tear running down my face
I didn’t even realize I was sad
My eyes are blurred from the tears
 I blink to see the world
 I must face the world
 And then I see him
I see everything I don’t want
I see everything that terrifies me
I see the hope in his eyes
I wish I had his hope
 I wish I shared his love
“ You coming” he says
Then reality hits and I walk toward him
He says I love you
I say I love you back
I lie
I get in the car and see the road in front of me
I want to close my eyes again
 But there’s no escape
I see the road of my life
I wish I could turn away
But we move towards the road
Towards our life
I cry in my head
 But the road is still driven
And there’s no stop sign

Happily Ever After How Bout Not

oh cinderella a dream many girls wish
fit that glass slipper
and ended with a kiss
happily ever after 
the story fortold
but what happen after
a story unknown
see i ran into her
the other day at the store
she told me horrors of her life before
and how her soul mate
was gay
See she wasnt mad at him
but why marry her if neither of them win
but then she left the castle
to an apartment downtown
she had no work experience
so she downgraded down south
she was on welfare
angry as a bee
she had no money to buy anything
then things got worse
when she couldnt get not one wish
she called her godmother
but found out she was just a witch
she had no other choice
she was stuck where she was
so she moved back in with her stepmother
who didnt change at all
Her stepmother
yelled and screamed
and once again she did everything
But then she said she found a guy
she was in love
to her surprise
she got pregnant
she was happy indeed
but then he left her
with a baby to feed
When she went to her stepmother
she wouldnt alow both
so back to welfare she goes
now here she is with a child and no job
wishing for some happily ever after
she says it can happen again
but oh cinderella
the story is done
life just didnt work out for you hun!

*NO offense was/is intended to ANYONE*

No Memories

I didn’t know you 
I never really talked to you
But you created my sister
You brought her to my family
You were trying to be better
You were trying to be better
That’s what hurts me the most
That I didn’t know you
That I never really talked to you
But you were trying
And you are missed
I thank you for being you
For doing everything you did
Even the mistakes
Because you passed something on
You made an impact
My cousin you were
My family you will always be
I didn’t know you
We fought the last time I ever talked to you
Then you were gone
So young
So sudden
But I think of you and smile
Because you were a good person
You were someone to be missed
I’m just sorry
That I don’t really have memories to look back at
But I will always look back at you and smile
Because I did know you
We were family
My cousin
And the only memories I need is your face
Your smile
And I will always remember that
And you are missed
You were loved
YOU ARE LOVED
* RIP to my cousin that passed away 2 years ago. We miss you*

I Am

I am
I am
I am …wrong?
I am
I am
I am …misunderstood?
I am 
I am
I am …one of a kind?
I am 
I am
I am ..hopeless…
I am many thing you could never be
I am all the things I want to be
I am few of the things I dream to be
I am
I am
I am
I don’t know
I am
What I want to be!
Life is full of question
Things that I will never know
I go crazy in my head
I talk to fast
I spell like a blind monkey
I get angry quickly
I always have something to say
I expect things to go my way
I am
I am
I am
I care with all my heart
I will always be there
I work so hard
I have so many dream
I will take great care of you
I will listen to your problems
I am..
I just need to breath
Ask me later

The Happiest Day

I have open my heart and free my mind
I become one with us
And one with time
I have connected to life
As it connected to me
Oh my lord I turned 17
Yes a age
Of happiness an joy
R rated movies will be my toy
Curfew is lifted
As I am old
This is just the beginning I am told
Now this may seem silly
Yes indeed
But can you remember when you turned 17
Its a landmark
An age of time
All grown
Well.. in a years time
2010
gave me this gift
Wrapped it up with a kiss
Now, now
You may say “what?”
“It been a whole year
more things should have filled with you cheer.”
But nothing such happened
In this year combine
I continued life, nothing to divine
So the age of 17 
Has occurred
Now 2011
Should be much more fun
The gift of 18 
Has begun
Oh I cant wait for this magnificent gift
But for now I shall say
October 24 was the happiest day!

Note: October 24 was my Birthday

Off

A tear falls down my face
He looks at me and wipes it away
Grabs my hand 
And we begin to walk
The rain is falling
And the thunder burst
I feel so alone
Even tho he guides me along the way
His leather jacket covering me
Like it did every day
But today is not like it was before
the love I once felt doesn’t exist any more
The rain is cold and I begin to shake
The water covers my entire face
We see the end
Of the rode and us
But the rain continues
While I take the leather jacket off

At the Pawnshop

I walk in, It almost feels cold
Letting go to all the unknown
That ring you got me a promise we didn’t keep
 a frame of  a picture of us
You didn’t stay out long enough for me to need
The key to the house
That we couldn’t afford to love
And here are my mom tears that I couldn’t afford to give up 
Then last are the broken promise that were made to keep
I lost a friend, a dad, a house, and maybe me
But you can have it all whatever you need
I’m looking for something that was taken from us
Please pawnshop I’m begging it’s a must
He is ours for us to keep…tell God he belongs to me
He’s too young to be up there
Please …just tell me if you find him anywhere 


In dedication of ended relationship, a father who is always in jail, a family home we lost and lastly my 17-year cousin who was take from us to soon

Dad

Gone to often
Left to fast
Missed much living
I don’t even know you dad

Loved so much
Feel so empty
All grown up
I don’t even know you dad

Cry much tears
Lost in lies
Childhood gone
I don’t even know you dad

Mistake made many times
Repeated often
Fighting back
That’s a first dad

Blame it all on you
Hate so much
Fighting for your life…
I just don’t know dad

Taking that step
Yes I believe in you
Mistake will be forgiven
I want to know you dad

Tears done falling
Slowly wiping my eyes
Holding your hand
Dad it will be all right

Things have happen
Things have gone
Daddy
I’m ready for a dad
Are you ready to be one?
