Better To Be Alone In Silence Than Laughing With the Wicked

I've been dishonest with myself
I've slashed off the pain
I've masked the hurt 
I've lost I've gained

The silence got louder
the wicked threw up
I've seen my Future
I'm not happy enough

Better to be silent
then laugh with the wicked
better to be quiet
then loud and proud

 I've seen the devil 
I've seen the light 
through the dark
I've seen the purest heart
forget me not.

Better to be along in silence
then laugh with the wicked.

Tribute Soliders

Thanks for serving our country...
. It means the world too me....
 Because of you im free to wander
 the streets..... When at war you serve us well.

We pray everyday that you'll make it home well... 
We could never understand the job you do
...just know every person around the
 world is proud of you....

 You fight battles we cannot win....
 But we are all sad in the end.....
when you return home you'll never 
be the same again.... 

PTSD has followed you home
Now forever the world will know
 that you could never be left alone..... 
Noise distract you, movies,
 and video games too..... All around
 the nation we wanted to make this 
Tribute to you.

 We love you Soldiers for fighting our
 battles everyday.... Once we have
 your kids we'll surely say
 "how brave your father or mother
 was" for fighting in the war each 
and everyday....

 We thank you for your hard work..
..because of your bravery i can
 live another day..... Because you
 fight in the war... I can eat,
 sleep, go to work, and pray..... 
Here's my Tribute to Soldiers for
 fighting for us each and everyday....

         Thanks for serving our country!!!!

Come Dance With Me

Come dance with me my child, lay with you hands
 on the grassy field and sleep here for a while
...come feel the difference between life and 
misery feel those who've only experience misery. 

Their skin so unwanted by the touch of your lips, 
cracks, burns, bruises, run down their skin; 
into a pattern of sadness.. Come dance with me
.. Come dance...come dance your worry, misery 
comes out with laughs, dancing expresses the 
feeling of love, hatred, and worry.....

 Express your feelings dance until your feet 
bleeds with talent....dance until your heart 
skips a beat....your heart filled with sadness,
 your hands crack, your feet tells us
 your story and expresses how you dance.. 
Come Dance.

Rape

The voices sounds familiar, the pain, 
the tears, the loss and gain thru the years. 
The success is near my tears are real the 
voices silence as my worse fear is revealed.....

 This voice repeats itself everyday i live, rape.
....rape...rape was your fault stop shedding
 your tears.... come join me my child for I 
have seen the light the darkness has shed 
its darkest Knight.

 the tears mask the pain deep in my soul
 I close my eyes as he rapes my soul my
 innocence is gone my dignity has left 
I have nothing left he made me feel like
 I was nothing less.

 then a mirror image of what I could have 
been but truly I am abandon at the end.
 The medicine stops the voices of the pain
 forever the drinking helps, it helps me realize
 that I am sane.

 My innocence was taken the ones I love spoke 
some words that he shouldn't of...  
his voice someone I hear every day telling me 
was my fault that I got raped.


 I dropped to my knees my soul left me 
for the one I love has betrayed me. 
I begged him please I'm begging 
please as I fell to my knees he put
 his hands upon my neck and choke 
until there was nothing left. 

Instead of running away I stayed as I
 stayed my soul stayed away for I 
was afraid I've been raped. 
And now I can't live another day  
without hearing his voice saying
 I deserved  to be raped.

Wicked

Once upon a time a princess
Emerged. Gorgeous as can be
She was missing a prince
Who can help her set free.

Her fairy godmother spoke
With ever glaze dancing in 
The wind. A man you seek
A story always follows within.

The princess found a prince
A rich one at that. For the love
He has for me was everlasting.
The ball the ball as we moonwalked, 
on the floor
The ever so slightly kiss on
My lips.

But the prince had a price
That I didn't see coming. 
The prince had a powerful
Right hand that struck me 
At night. As his fist In closed
My eye. 

The princess wanted a prince, 
But a baby bump had formed.
The baby took a breathe and 
He started to change, but
The change came with fame.

The tears over powered the kingdom, 
and flooded the nation
But the baby couldn't swim. Her
Tears has drowned the baby 
As her tears had drowned her
For years.

Ive Seen Hell

I've seen hell many lights ago, the light at 
the end of the tunnel grows dimmer
 and dimmer I'm alone. 

The demons dance on my heart what 
a start I've seen hell. The bells ring
 10 times I believe, crying out for help,
 no one hears me. I've became mute
, I've seen hell. 

My dreams consist of cutting, all the 
pain I've felt came to light Satan's laughs 
as I grab the knife, I've seen hell.
 The fire grows stronger will I last much longer?  

Hell a soft ocean of loss souls with the hint 
of sadness through all this madness I 
burn with sadness; fear has cried out ,
demons shout come dance 
with me, as I weep amongst
 the trees I feel to my knees.


tears run down my eyes what a
 surprise I think I died .
I've seen souls who cried out but
 never made a sound. I've seen
 demons wearing crowns as
 all the souls bow...  With silence... 
Now frowns... I've seen hell.

Come My Child

Come my child come play your precious violin, 
the songs you play reminds me of my sins. 
The songs of war, death, and demise for 
i have seen both sides. 

While you play the imagery is clear,
 a symbolic message has just appeared.... 
Your violin bleeds of talent for I have 
conducted this orchestrated talent.

Play until your fingers have no control 
till tears run down your face, till your 
last breath of life has nothing to show.


Come my child, come child, come...
 That violin cannot play itself without 
you been so young..

Church

The angelic tones of those who worship the 
most high... Rise above all odds thorough 
the tombstone where he once lied.

3 days for him to rise what a surprise
 whom I've worshiped the most high.. 
Above all odds the doves fly as high as 
a kite through the sins lies im afraid to die.

A white light shines through the darkness
 when we die, but truly who has seen my
 white light.... Church songs, gatherings
, tears flowing, death, angels its all the same,
 as long as we worship his name...

 A sense of relief, sense of courage once
 relieved my pain, but not reading the 
bible, and missing church i remember all the pain...

Sun and Moon

I love watching the sun, and moon 
singing to each other, the aurora on 
my feet, the lavish lifestyle, 
my rain dance off beat.

Opposites attract, desires met, light
 after day, the world at rest.. 
Whistling a soft toon, cracks in the
 surface, come face my dance, 
beneath my surface.

I love watching the sun,and moon 
singing to each other, the radiance it shows, 
glow glow glow below. Sprinkle the tears 
of my loss soul revealed. Come lay on
 the dark grassy field.

That glow that glow I love watching the sun,
And moon singing below.

My Depression Defines Me

The demons they hold me, my tears flow through 
Satan blood , he laugh and dances at my pain
, last night I dreamed he drew a tombstone
 with my name. 

My  depression defines me. My demons hold 
me I've been hurt, they told me they loved me 
millions of millions of times rehearsed.


dodging bullets, taking punches my veins 
flows with opiate's. High as a kite, can't
 come down my world is distorted I've 
seen hell many time cuts down my skin to 
my acknowledgement I've died. 

When your life is over you've seen hell, 
through valley of shadow of death I 
shall die, for must I say I've never been right. 


The voices they speak to me telling me it's 
going to be all right but to my acknowledgement 
I have a lot of spite. 

Throwing things, running miles down a stream, 
worshipping he who's name cannot be spoken, 
now I'm broken. Cut me open Satan drinks 
my blood out of love, I died 3 times that day, 
but what can I say? 
My depression defines me.
