My Name Is Violet

I'm social,
filled with compassion,
sensitive to forms of pollution,
but creative who seeks out inspiration.

I am a mystery,
born with the blood of royalty,
recognized of high nobility, 
as wealth surrounds me with luxury,
A dreamer who dreams upon reality,
connecting with the world spiritually an physically.

I am a person who seeks the meaning of life,
the balance between its darkness an light,
I am a person who dreams of accomplishments,
I am someone who desires love an fulfillment,
I am someone you can reasoned with,
I am known as Ms. Violet.

Women's Rights To Live

How can you say women don't have rights?
knowing inside we have the will to fight
how can you say we can't do this or do that?
when we know one fact
that we have a mind of our own.

How can you say women are second rate people?
knowing deep down we are all equal
because we all are born the same way.
How can you say we are built to do certain things like were machines?
knowing we have dreams
just like you.

Because I'm a woman; you think I don't have the right to do what I really
want to do?
like I can't use my own voice?
are you that ignorant?
can't you all see that gender isn't even a choice?

Human rights is to be free
willing to use our minds to be anything we want to be
human rights is to express one's true self
to let it all out from him or herself
so how can you say I have to have the rights in order to be what I want to be?
knowing all along I do have those rights to do what I want to do
or maybe you can't see that I'm human like you
an there's nothing in the world that can change that.

Me and the Sea

Excitingly,
at Tennessee,
me and the sea,
on a nice day.

The open sea,
see its beauty,
I'm so happy,
your here always.

A Christmas Snow

Beyond this cheerful holiday
                              a time of gifts an giving is on the way
                              what beautiful about a Christmas snow
                               at night is shows such a pure glow

                                   Just see this amazing sight
                  how the snow covers everything in its clear shade of white
                   so much everywhere can barely touch the earth's ground
                 but within a Christmas snow brings us sweet jingle bell sounds

                                  Nothing can get in the way
                         of us seeing the wonders on Christmas day
                           hear me sing in this beloved fantasy
                  uphold the beauty with all of your friends an family
                         even if a Christmas snow end is near
             Christmas day is one of the most wonderful time of the year

The Birds Fly By Me

Give yourself a path,
between evil an good,
even through the world's wrath,
set your own trip to happiness,
like any human being would.

a road to life,
a place to call home,
hold hands with the people you love,
preventing your mind thinking your all alone,
beyond the secrets, and moral lust,
will be warm hearts an trust.

Go on with your friends an lovers,
embrace the hugs from your sisters and brothers,
between the good an the bad memories,
hold your head high an set your eyes clearly,
all of the mysteries in life,
will come to you quickly,
it be like birds flying right past me.

Addicted

One time, that's all it takes
to find yourself make one big mistake
it felt good on the first try
a feeling I never felt before
next thing you know you crave for more.
Spending money on that one thing, nothing else
thinking about only yourself
walking up an down on the streets, here an there
don't even look right, and you don't even care.
Are you in pain?
can't you see you've gone insane?
why do you think your ugly?
knowing you always had natural beauty.
Addiction is like poison eating away in you inside
not seeing the path you have chosen
you would bring friends first, and put your love ones aside
addicted with pride
addicted of being selfish
forgotten what you have cherished
your addicted of depression
an addiction is obsession
and you still don't care.
