Things Aren'T Always What They Seem

I’m so pissed 
I’m so sad
Holding all this back 
It’ll make me mad

This piece of paper
Is all I have to confide in
To get this life
I don’t know what I did

The pain hurts 
And so I bleed 
There’s no hope 
And nothing to believe 

I’m all alone 
In this dark world
This sad cold
Depressed little girl

And who’d have guessed 
That girl was me
Starting inside 
I’m letting go of my dreams

How did life get this bad 
With nothing but hurt and pain
Has it only started
Or has it always been this way

It’s hard to believe 
It was all a lie 
Just cheating and deceiving
Time after time 

I’m dying on the inside 
And bleeding on the out
You judge me
Though you don’t know what I’m about

The sorrow never stops
And tears never end
Pain is always there
I can’t look ahead

I hide the hurt 
And painful secrets so well
Look me in the eyes 
Can you honestly tell

I’m the girl you may want to be 
But look a little closer
And then maybe you’ll see, it’s the truth
Things aren’t always what they seem

No One Cares

When time is gone 
And all that’s left 
Are the broken pieces 
Of the past

Where will you go
Who will be there
I’ll tell you now 
No one because no one cares

All the hurt 
And all the pain 
It wasn’t worth it 
No one came

Your all alone 
And that’s that
To rely on yourself 
Those are the facts

One day 
Your on top of the world 
And the next 
Your this sad, cold, depressed little girl

Something of your mother and father
Though you don’t believe 
You tell yourself you’re nothing like them
Then make yourself bleed

I Am Ii

I am a daughter
A sister
A granddaughter 
A niece 
A cousin 
A friend 
A student 
A young girl
And a grown women 

I am a giver and a taker 
A dreamer confined 
I talk to much and listen to well 
I do so little and try so hard 

I am confident and scared
Arrogant and afraid 
Mighty and small 
Loud and quiet 
Proud and destroyed
Charming and dreadful 

I am sick and well 
Truthful and doubted
Safe and harmful
Ugly and beautiful
Right and wrong 
Seen and hated

I am cared for and abused
Found and neglected  
Loved and alone 
Free and caged 

I am Alive and Dead

In Yours

Walking in your shadow
No one can see 
The face of an angel 
Let me be free

In a world full of pain 
You hide it so well 
Cover my mouth 
And keep me in hell

The stuff you pulled 
I can’t believe
You put your man first 
In front of me

Your life’s messed 
So you messed mine too
Told all those lies
To cover the truth

Before it happen 
You knew what he’d do
Still you let them take me 
Four years of abuse

Your place was my get away
But not for long 
Your mans eyes showed lust
In the youngest of wrong

You knew it was happening 
But turned your head 
We tried to tell you 
We cried and pleaded 

He molested me
And my little sister 
I’ll kill that mother ker 
He comes near her

And still today 
You stand by his side 
Swear up and down
You’re in the right

You need help
You know you do
It’s your choice 
It’s all on you

The drinking and drugs
The fighting and abuse
It something I’ve learned 
My kids will never go through

So with all the mess 
And all I’ve been through 
I’ll look you in the eye 
And tell you thank you

Hallucination-Torture

His footsteps right outside the door
I can hear them… Closer and closer
Can you hear it?
Shhh little girl listen
I run to the door to hold it shut
5 minutes… 10 minutes 
No one comes.
I look out to find 
That no ones home.
I feel him on my skin
You’re not here
But forever within
Your burned into my mind
Like a song in a nightmare
Or a horrible lullaby.

I can feel his touch 
I sense it… Closer and closer
Can you feel it?
Be still little girl… Pretend to sleep
5 minutes… 10 minutes
It never comes… I remove the covers
I look out to find
That no ones here
I feel him inside of me
Next to me... Forcing me

I hear you 
It’s a delusion
I feel your touch 
Its an illusion
I smell your cologne
Its imagination
I see your face
It’s a nightmare

So scared 
Hiding my pain
Cant cry
I’m going insane

Hiding the truth
From all of you
What would you do
If you really knew

Knew what he’s done
Knew what never should have begun
The scars and pain will never be undone.

On My Own

I’m stuck in this 
Painful memory
Of what I thought 
Should be

It never should have 
Come to this
For Christ sake
We’re your kids

I know now 
Nothing I say and nothing I do 
Nothing will change
The way I feel for you

There’s no more excuses 
And no more lies 
All that’s left is the truth
That you can’t deny

You hid from the truth
For so long
It must kill you 
To admit you were wrong

But I expect nothing
And won’t be surprised
If you choose to turn,
Run and hide

It’s what you do best
Though lives are at stake
But that’s just you 
All you do is take

But I refuse
To take anymore
Its been a lot
More than I can endure

It’s over now
And it’s all your fault 
I’d hate to see you
Don’t bother to call

Just let me be
I’m fine all alone
And I’ll make it further 
Then you did all on my own

Past To Present

I have been 
Abandon
Abused 
Afflicted

I have been 
Betrayed
Blamed

I have been 
Castigated
Chastised
Confined
Convicted
Corrupted
Criticized

I have been 
Damned
Deceived
Defeated
Degraded
Destroyed
Disapproved
Disgraced
Distrusted
Doubted

I am now
Fearing
Harming

Now 
Immurement
Limited
Neglected

Now & Forever
Ruined

To Remember What I'M Trying To Forget

Maybe if I sleep ill remember, but I’m trying to forget.
I don’t remember what I’m trying to forget and I cant sleep…
I’m so tired.  But I cant sleep.  I can feel it coming, but it doesn’t.
My eyes close, but my mind wont shut off even when  I say Shut Up!
I can still here myself.  When  I don’t participate thoughts become negative.
When you see me, I’m not looking at you.  I’m looking through you.  
I’m not there.  I cant be.  I cant be one place to long. 
I had to make my world.  I go there all the time, but I don’t even know what it looks like.  
I have to stay alert.  Do I want to know what it is before it comes.  I don’t know should I?
I’m so tired.  My vision blurs.  I’ve been sick.  I don’t feel well.  Even the babies put only 
a small smile on my face.  Insides a coal mine.  Nothing.  
I cant breathe.  Who could with a hundred pounds on their chest?
It doesn’t hurt.  I’m not even scared.  When it comes back I wonder why.  I wonder what 
kind of nothingness that  would be like.  Would I even know.  
I’d like it to be black.  Music.  No, no music.  Just me.  Alone.  With a child’s mind.  Know 
the voices in my head, but know it isn’t right.  Sleep.  Make it black.  I can feel how alone 
it is.  The comfort of no one.  
I don’t want my scream to come back to me.  Not like an experiment.  Actually no one.  
No one to see, hear, smell, touch a thing.  Just me.  Peace.  Maybe.  I don’t know.  
What would that kind of loneliness do.  Who would know.  
Like Dean Koontz “The Door To December”.  The girl might be someone of me.  Someone 
id like to know.  To be.  Was it really a struggle?  Maybe not.  
I don’t know.  
I just want to sleep. 
To see.
To remember what I’m trying to forget.  
To breathe.

Don'T Go

Right now
I don’t even want your time
I just want that feeling
To know that your mine

Where are you now
You said you’d never leave 
All the lies you told
You really made me believe

You loved me 
You promised you’d stay
But now your gone 
And now I’m afraid

No one will ever have a chance
Thanks to you
Your sarcasms so petty
I can’t stand the stuff you do

Jus explain why you left 
Help me understand
Or are you still stuck on 
“I’m a grown ass man”

You said you don’t 
Have time to make me happy 
I’d rather be miserable
But still have you next to me

You don’t understand
Why I love you so much
Honestly neither do I
But I need to feel your touch

I need to feel your lips 
Touching mine
Feel you love me
All through the night

No one can ever 
Take your place
I honestly cant live 
Without your embrace

Please don’t let go 
Just give me a chance
I’ll turn the world over for you 
I know we can last



Please believe it
I know you do 
We’re meant for each other
Please baby, I’m in love with you

Maybe you could learn to love me too
I honestly don’t know
But still I love you
And I am begging you not to go

The Price

This is the price you pay 
For child abuse
Can you feel me
I cant feel you

All alone 
Lying in bed
I’m asleep
Soon I’ll be dead

I’m in your room 
As I wake from light
Your upon me
Something ain’t right

I open my eyes 
And see your face 
I’m scared to death
My heart starts to race

I look in your eyes
There is no shame
Down below 
I can feel the pain

I try to push you 
I’m not ready
Its no use 
Your to heavy

You close your hand
Over my mouth 
As I try to yell 
And scream for help

You grab my shoulder
And turn me around
Push my face
To the ground

I can’t breathe
I’m gasping for air
I’m hysterical now
But you don’t care

This is it 
This is all 
It’s what you get
You broke the law

You pay the time 
But I paid the price
In your cell
I hope their anything but nice

This is the price you pay 
For child abuse
Can you feel me
I cant feel you.
