Dreading the Moment

dreading the moment when i have to force myself 
to realize  that the family i have care about money and
nothing about others dreading the moment when they 
realize that i was being truthful the entire time and 
all they think is that i am lying to them 

they dont think what they do effects others all they 
do is what they want say what they want and believe all the lies
dreading the moment when my love and i leave this 
mess for a good while and let them think that something 
happened to me and let them believe it 

but when i come back fully changed and i remember nothing
about them and they dont understand why i am saying the 
things i do but sooner or later they will regret and feel so 
guilty about what they did to me and they will try to come up to 
me and apologize for what they have done and its too late

im not dreading the moment when i get to feel the full 
satisfaction of knowing that they realize that they were
in the wrong to keep the truth from me and lie to me the entire time 
but when they see all that they have done to me did not effect me 
or the man i fell in love with and see him playing with our children 

they will begin to regret everything they have done and try 
to make it seem like nothing ever happened between us 
but little do they know when they so come up they will be arrested 
and sued for violation of a no contact order and a restraining order
between me, my husbend; my kids and that messed up thinking family

Acid Tears Kiss of Death

let it rain acid tears let the kiss
of death take the life of anyone 
it comes so swift then goes the
same way the only chance to cheat 
your own death is your will to fight 
and your will to live with your
loved ones when the chains of death 
comes down on some they let 
self pity carry them away and slip 
away into a sweet surrender of 
eternal sleep so makes jokes about 
what they dont understand or are 
scared of what will you do when 
the time comes for your own
moment of truth let it rain acid
tears and burn the flesh right off
your very own bones then slowly 
dissolve bones and brains you have
when it starts let the kiss of death 
come and take away the pain and 
guilt of what you have done to me 
you are thinking when do these 
chains come off and set me free 
but in the mean time the chains 
are rusting and turning your 
skin and bones into nothing

As I Lay Here

as I lay here dying 
my life is flashing before
my eyes and all I 
see is pain and misery
what did i do wrong 
to deserve this type 
of death bleeding 
with no end in sight

as i lay dying 
as i lay dying 
there is no one here 
to say my last words to
as i lay dying
as i lay dying 
why do i have to 
endure all of this agony

as i lay here dying 
its starting to get 
colder with every passing 
hour now its minutes
its starting to get 
darker around the 
edges and will i finally leave
this vile and revolting world

as i lay dying 
as i lay dying 
there is no one here 
to say my last words to
as i lay dying
as i lay dying 
why do i have to 
endure all of this agony

even if i leave this 
world what will others 
remember about me will 
they remember me at all 
will they realize that 
i have done so much 
in my short life to 
help others through pain

as i lay dying 
as i lay dying 
there is no one here 
to say my last words to
as i lay dying
as i lay dying 
why do i have to 
endure all of this agony

Trapped From Freedom

trapped away from freedom and 
can't escape it is my mind my 
only escape from this horrid 
escape of life in my mind locked 
away and hidden can anyone find
me to bring me back what would 
happen if something horrid occurs
and no one  would be seen or heard 
from again is there a better place 
where i can retreat to in my mind
without anyone noticing i am 
shut down and i locked myself 
away from anyone and everyone 
how long would it the for 
anyone to get me back in my mind 
the only refuge i have when 
i have nowhere else to go

Sacrificed My Beliefs

i have sacrificed so much for that family 
but when i am with my love i dont feel like 
i am trapped by what i dont want 

i have been set free just by finding the love
of my life and not everyone is happy all they 
want is to see me miserable, alone and scared 

i have sacrificed all that i believe in and now its time to stop 
to be who i was born to be and stop doing what they want from me 

before now i couldn't see what was happening
and now i dont care what happens to me i will 
do anything in my power to save who i love 

now since my eyes have been opened i see so 
many things that have been messed up in my life 
all i want is to go on and live my life with my husband

i have sacrificed all that i believe in and now its time to stop 
to be who i was born to be and stop doing what they want from me 

now i am at the point of my life where i
want to do what i feel is right and stop the 
little kid games that so many are playing

you know everyone has to grow up at
some point and do what you have to do 
to get what you need and want out of life

i have sacrificed so much in my life all i need to do is to start believing what
i was taught as a child by my mother and it is time to be who i was born to be and
live like i was suppose to and not let anyone to distract me from the truth now

Darker Things In Life

so many are frightened of the darker things in life 
so many run without a second thought of why its that way
so many dont understand why some prefer the dark to the light 
so many people believe things that are lies and trash about others 
 
to the ones that understand please come and join me
do not listen to the ones that are frightened of the truth 
do not detour from the true path that has been set for you 
the ones that have kept from seeing what is real is not welcome 
 
so much that they do not know so much that make them run in fear 
so much that they have to lie about so much that the true path offers to open our 
eyes to what is real 
so much that our path will provide so much that we can gain from it 
so much that we do not run from so much that the fire give us the life that we need 
to live the purposes of life
 
the true gateway into this life is through the sins of our own desires 
what are you suppose to do without the sins 
we are born to experience sin and to overcome the hardships that are meant for us 
all

All I Need Is You

just the mere of being able to look into your 
mutli-mood colored eyes to see what i long to 
see when you look at me mostly the blue eyes 
tell most of your secret feelings you have 
caged and bound inside your hardshelled soft
heart you realized you had for me your wife
just to run my hands through your hair and see that relaxed 
expression on you tanned sculpted face no worries 
no thughts about what you have to do to to keep
me safe from the harmful vicious people 
the look you get when i notice you are watching 
me admiring me only because you are the happiest 
person in the world when you are at my side no matter what hell is 
the way bi am to you is nothing i have felt or even 
imagined but knowing that i have one 
person to count on a shoulder to 
cry when i need it a guide when i am lost 
and confused a pillar of stregth when i feel too weak
a watchtower of light when i am surrounded by shadows 
and death my foundation to life when everything 
gets overturned and uprooted and most of all
you have the only golden key that belongs
to my heart you are the only savior that my souls 
longs to be with night after night for many years to come
