The Single Mother

A single mother is standing alone 
And she will cry when nobody's home 
Staying up late with thoughts in her head 
Doing everything she can to keep her children fed
A Single mother is the only one there 
When the kids are afraid, or are feeling alone and scared.
Holding them tight to keep the monsters at bay
Having the right words and knows what to say 
Teaching boys to be men And girls self respect 
When deep down inside She's an emotional wreck

Change the World

Stagnant hateful world we live 
Something has got to give
 Mass destruction of the human soul
Innocent lives have become the toll
False prophets who have manipulated the word
Has planted a seed in every boy and girl 
  It's time to take back ALL our lost
 And teach them love at any cost 
Stop judging people on how they look
Or who they love,or what book

Colors of My Mind

The colors of my mind
  Collide in conversation 
   But all I see
   Is black and white
   Thoughts so empty 
    That feeling should 
      Not be there 
        And yet I still shed tears 
       Unknown to myself why 
        Loss,love,hate,loneliness 
         Idled Truths of past reason
          False hope and gutless actions
           Limitless but not limited too
           Pain,sorrow,love, guilt

Burn the Pictures

Pour the acid in my eyes
 To burn the still frames in my mind 
 Take the memories away from me 
Because you don't exist if I can't see
To see the pain that you have caused 
Of course to you there is no loss 
Seeing is believing that much is true 
I wish I meant the same to you 
So if you please 
Before you leave 
Pour the acid in my eyes 
And burn the pictures in my mind 
Take all your memories away from me 
And you won't exist if I can't see

3288 Days

Today I will sit and cry
For all the days that have gone by 
 All the lectures that have gone unheard 
 And all the lessons that are not learned
  3288 days since you had to leave this place 
 countless tears that have ran down my face 
    Some days are good and some are bad 
All I know is I miss you dad
So today I'm going to sit and cry 
Because today is the day that you died 
              5/21/07

Torn

Faith has all but
Left this heart
This ravished soul
That's been torn apart 
A tortured mind 
That's all but lost
How to deal 
With heavy cost

Dragons Dance

Dragons Dance 
     Come on kids and step inside 
Let's see the dragon through sober eyes
That one little bump and your body sinks
  My claws are now in you more than you think.
 Deeper and deeper the webs I spin
The endless black hole your sucked right in.
   Scraping your veins I've taken over your mind. Now every thing you do its me you try to find. 
    Shaking, sweating ,trembling with fear.I've clouded your mind so you can't think clear.
       Nauseous and angry mostly un self-aware,             punching the walls and pulling out your own hair.
   I've created an itch that is deep inside
Very few people have come out alive 
The ones that have I stalk every day
Trying to temped them back into my haze
     Never dance with me or let me inside
    It's like Russian roulette       
          chances are you'll die

Smaller

False promises that
 you made to me
Letting me see 
What you wanted 
Me to see
Giving me hope
When none was there
Making me care
And leaving me scared 
 Fasting my heart
To fill me with doubt 
Making me feel 
Just like a small mouse

Forever

FOREVER 
 Never say forever because it isn’t real.It isn’t something lasting,it’s what you think you feel.If you mean forever just tell me that you’ll try.But never say forever because forever makes me cry.

Shattered

We are The broken promises
We are The tattered seams
We are the Empty auditoriums
We are the broken dreams
  I am the endless fire 
 I am The shattered vase
 I am a broken record 
 That you can never replace
I am the the shameless  violence
From many years ago.  
Broken bones and battered heart 
Thrown against the wall.
   What I really needed was someone
Who can see,that really  I’m not broken
Or half of who I used to be. 
Bring back my faith that not all men
See a victim and a pawn.
To hold me up when I want to fall
Sometimes I’m just too weak from carrying it all.
