Wont Back Down Nor Give Up

I will not be another statistic
out on the street without a dime to my name
I will not be another out cast
Who can't go into a store with being looked down on
I will not be someone's deadbeat baby mama
My kids will have a dad who is married to me
I will not be your excuse
For every wrong thing that goes wrong in your life
I will not be misused
Like some rag to blow your nose
I will not be abused
Like the constant alcohol you drink
I will not be the victim 
of the bottomless, self-righteous world i live in today

I will be my own person
standing strong and tall above those who try to bring me down
I will be the painting 
to look at for comfort
I will be the leader 
that leads my people to the great victory that they need to be in
I will be a lover
One who will cherish my husband like no other
I will be a great mother
to my kids forever and always
I will be forever standing tall
no matter what this world brings me
I will turn this world upside down
AND I WILL NOT GIVE UP

Walked, Trampled, and Stomped On

I let people walk over me like the rug i thought i was,
flat and faced down on the cold floor,
where no one can see,
the pain and hurt brewing underneath.

I let people trample my soul like the dirt on the ground,
dry, cracked without a life source to live, 
desperately trying to find,
that something to help it live. 

I let people stomp on my dreams like they do concrete,
hard and fast in a blink of time,
without remorde for the feelings,
nor sympathy for my hope.

Oh, why do i let people walk, trample and stomp on me,
is it because i haven't found the voice i need to speak for myself,
or is it because i am too scared to just be me,
maybe it is because i can't find the fight inside to fight to walk, trample, and stomp on them.

Green

This color is mine
Always is it my color
surrounding my world

This color is mine
wrapping me in lasting love
holding me so tight

This color is mine
what color is it you ask
the color is GREEN

The Cheating Sin

She comes home to a silent room
Waiting for the greeting that she yearned to hear each day
Instead the noise that met her ear
Was of the most surprise to her
It was moaning and a groaning
And something she has never heard
She walked around to see what it was
In her mind she already knew
There he was and there she was
staring in each others eyes
Caught in the mist of the action
That just ruined both of their lives
She ran out so fast but didn't know where to go 
But her mind was way ahead
She put the car in reverse and skidded down the street
Before he ever could reach the door
She never talked to him again
But her heart wanted to each day
He cheated and she couldn't believe it
That was the end of their days
Years went by and she is trying to forget
But the pain keeps seeping back in
So uncontrollable, so unfathomable
She just wanted to the pain to end
Slowly and surely she drank away every hurt in her body
Till the night she drove herself off that cliff
Into the water that remained below
She did it  because her heart couldn't be mended 
Nor fixed of all the pain
He will never get to see her face
But will always remember her pain

On a Beach

I used to wonder what it would look like
I used to wonder how it would feel
I used to wonder how the air would be
On that big, open beach

I grew up around trees with no water
I grew up with dirt and lost bugs
I grew up with heat and sometimes rain
But never grew up on a beach

Who would take me to this wonderful place
When would i take that journey
Where would it lead me
I hope to stand on a beach

I joined the military at age 17
took that risk to travel
didn't know where it would lead me
But i hoped it was on a beach

The first time i saw it i cried
The first time i felt it i screamed
The first time i breathed in the thin air i laughed
I had finally made it on a beach

I no longer wonder how it felt
Nor how it looks
Not even how the air feels
WHY, because i finally got on that beach.

Background

No one can understand the life that i have lived
No one can fathom the things i have seen
No one can know why i am the way i am
No one can know where my live has been
I come from the inside of a woman's body
the person in which helped create me but i don't blame her
I come from that woman not knowing
The answers when her daughter asks for her father
To call my own. Someone who could or would
walk or drive me to school
Take me to father daughter days
and many functions at school
Someone to know what to look for in a man
and not be  trapped by my own insecurities
Someone to ask a million questions
when i bring my boyfriend to meet the family
i come from a mother who smoked weed everyday
using it to defend herself against her pain
no one knew the ailments that intruded her nightly dreams
They just thought she and statistics were one and the same
I come from being solo to having a sister
Taking all the attention away from me
Stealing my shine and my thunder
Taking all away from me
I grew up with no friends to rely
No one to share my secrets with
No shoulder to cry on
No one to just be me with
I come from being so poor we lived on the streets once
no water, food, or money
No heat to keep us warm or air to keep up cool
just hand me down things
I come from holding things in too much
not being able to let go of emotions
I am crying when i am mad or pissed off
but quiet and reserve when i want to cry
I come from having all of this and so much more
I will never get things back to the way they should be
I will constantly be dysfunctional and if you wonder why
before judgement is passed my background you should see

Slowly Fading

How many times in a person life
can one heart break
After losing so much in her world
She thought she had had the perfect faith
Faith that would always be there for her
Through the thickest times and through thin
Each day just passed like passing of a star
Each moment fading into the nothing memories
Each day she thought her chances grew
she felt when she was thrown out when you gained the new
The new things in life that made you smile
Brightened up your day with bliss like a child
Each day her love had begun to grow
Now it's fading and her love must go
Why does love have to slowly fade for you
When the perfect couple now one could have been two

Angel From Above

When my life lay in the darkness and there was no hope for me,
I tried to push the force holding me back,
when it seemed like the world around me was coming to an end,
I tried to walk away from the edge ahead. 

Then out of nowhere you appeared like an angel in the sky,
prepared to take hold of me,
and there i was stressing and looking,
searching for meaning in life.

We immediately became friends and that felt food,
you were the right in my darkness,
then something changed and we became different,
 not what either of us was used to,

The friend barrier unleashed into a new level,
 a level that can't return to normal,
unreversable and unchangeable we were,
You drew me from the dark like an angel from above.

Everyday

Everyday is a struggle that constantly takes a toll on me,
School is a double drag,
Home is never the same
Life is just one problem after another

Everyday school makes me scream,
Messy people starting rumors,
Classes are taught by monotoned people,
Rules are stupid,

Everyday Home gets a little more annoying
The chores i do suck,
I have unbearable family members,
They don't get or understand what i need

Everyday life makes me feel horrible,
Forget the lemons thrown at me,
I can't change them into lemonade without the will of hands,
Everyday is a struggle.

Pits

The outer expression of hatred comes from the depth of my past,
Eating the love shown and shined on me and captured by the pitiful memories,
Each day is mourned, never healing but pressing out the brokenness,
In the pit of my hate, the encapsulated heart beats to the uneven beat.

No one can began to imagine the pain bestowed upon me,
How my life was rushed to a standstill before the time needed,
Childhood stolen by the silent truth of this world's reality,
Never to be received nor seen again.
