I Hoped
|
I hoped
I really really hoped
By now that you'd pick up the phone
Or show up at my door
But there's someone you want a littlebit more
Days and nights go by
Staying strong is hard but I try
Reminders pop up in every day life
But still I keep busy and strong, I try
So many moments I've never had
I'll never get to experience with dad
Basic anatomy connected us at first
You ignored all that and rolled me inthe dirt
Downhill I fell and fell and fell
You made me cry many times and I yelled
Your heads made of brick
My hearts made of sticks
Your abuse burned my love down
You hallowed the insides of this chick
Been ten years now, I've rolled back upthe hill
Been a struggle, but life now is prettychill
I wont pretend that I don't think ofyou
Miss having someone there because I do
Honestly I never did feel that youcared
That bottle always came first and itwas more than I could bare
Being me is something I learned to do
Something that wouldn't have happenedif I stuck with you.

No Time for Talk
|
Moments I feel weak
I work and work
Feel so busy it's hard to speak
Everywhere I turn
Feels like a block
I've got to do, no time for talk
But at the end of the day
There's an ache in my chest
There's so much time I was to invest
In better causes but this is where I'mleft
Broke down by some stooge dressed in anStructure vest
I want to beat you so bad, I'll find away
I don't give up that easy, just wont betoday
There's room in this world for honestbusiness
It's what my grandpa believed in,
That honorable feeling never goes outof season
I'll wake up one day
Walls will shatter like glass
I'll get up and everything will be ingrasp
I'll have good workers that get paidwell
Mothers can allow their kids out oftheir shell
They can raise them at home instead ofa daycare
Way better than the present whichsometimes is more than I can bear.

You Want a Nice House?
|
You want a nice house
You want a nice car
Big line of credit
Paycheck won't go far
Heated pool with slide
Cell phone with bluetooth device
Laptop TV with webcam
Recliner that goes to Mars
Just put it all on a charge card
Or advance on home equity
I want to be a star
Twenty minutes of mirror fame dies
Every part of your wallet is miles dry
Gotta go back to work serving the pool cleaner
No chance to enjoy that pool deck either
I've listened to you talk for the last 1800 second
From the materialism I'm glad I've grown independent
Life is too short and there's too many like you
Lowered the credit in the world,
Who's sweating bullets to pay bills?
Yep, this girl
All you do is moan and grown
Get what comes around
Better to die poor than alone

Can Watch
|
Can watch
Can't touch
It's a bubble of trouble
Turns my into Oscar the grouch
Unstoppable drama
Could lead to brain trauma
Can't let that be
I'll just keep my ora clean
Do my best
Keep my head afloat
No control
Let the trouble flow
Listen to the occasional bicker
Feel my radar flicker
When it's getting to hot
I make sure to step back a notch
Keep my space
Been to long
This situation
Should come with a warning
Or a date or expiration
I know you know
It's been said
You know how I feel
This is no natural disaster
A controlled situation
Blown up ten times faster
I refuse to support
A abusive mission,
You should abort
I stay miles apart
I'm a phone call away
Hoping you'll top off
Give yourself relief
Oh, one day

BOILING RED
|
Each limb holds on by a thread
Tolerance barometer...BOILING RED
Toss, Turn, nightmare becomes reality
Seems like an unrealistic brutality
Impulses in brain
Interrupted by worry
Furry over defeat
They're not even sorry
Nerves like popcorn
Arguments explode
Break out of sight
Much more to this road
Wipe my cheeks
Tear ducts on their knees
My fight far from over
I pray god, help me please...

Tear ducks or Tear ducts? I can really feel your emotion throughout the poem. I also appreciated how you don't really need to pause when you read the poem like you do with most. Overall I thought the quality was consistent. Very Good!

Lies Lies Lies updated
|
Lies Lies Lies
In the passengers seat
There's only an arm rest between us
Why does it feel like a big vast sea
Your lies sink like a million fishhooks
You find small innocent victims,
Shred their insides
And leave them for bait
You lies could paint the titanic withstains
You have no meat
Your eyes no soul
If I jump in
Jog for miles and miles
All I'd find is open road
To think I used to be impressed
I wanted to be like you
Your best gift?
Giving me existence another attitude

it's All Come to This -Updated
|
It's All Come to This
Fought years to keep your heart,
Rightfully mine from the start,
Ignored everything else,
Felt so stupid and stressed,
Learned you'd later squash this heartin my chest
The last time,
We looked in each others eyes
Savaged my insides
It's all come to this...
Our final words with no kiss
No hugs and no sign of remorse,
It's obvious things have taken theircourse,
Your way or highway
You don’t give a **** what I do,
Wasted many hours trying to talk toyou,
It's like trying to knock down a brickwall,
Your love was never intended for thelong haul
Foolish thinking your abusive days wereover,
Guess that's impossible,
Your an asshole undercover,
One certainty, you wont change,
Future with no “you”
No 7 Steps system,
No healing time frame
Too mad to talk I left you there,
Guardian Angel made my choice veryclear
All my efforts washed to the sky,
Wars over, I need to say goodbye
Tears run down my face and I feel rage,
Like fine wine, my happiness will growwith age.

Unsponsored
|
Un-sponsored by Establishment
I'm broke,broke, broke
They make it look like one big joke
Feels like sit and go traffic
Where's the job lane,
I need a paycheck
I may not have a factory certifiedHummer
Or the Escalade with the fat wheels andthe
“Honor Roll Student On Board”bumper sticker
But I got skills and I could use somedinner
Delivering food isn't rocket science
Ask me one more time
What I'd bring to establishment
Give me this SPECTACULAR cashier job,
May take a few twenties once the alarmis disabled.
One thing you wont learn from a paper
You'd better treat people nice
Karma will bite,
Need some clothes?
Here's the Penny Saver
Women are caddy
Compared to men we get paid less
Lie all you want,
We're not better than men,
Obviously not thinking with our minds,
Still thinking with our chests.
If you've got a job,
That's awesome, good for you
But don't tell me I'm not trying,
I don't wanna see that look or hear theattitude
I understand the need to cover bills
But it doesn't make sense to spendfifty hours a week
For someone who sees you work hard,doesn't offer a raise,
Then laughs with a huge thrill
I'd rather be broke broke broke
Maybe I've got too much pride
But It's no joke.

Dont Get Me Wrong
|
Attempt to pressure me
“When will you have a child?”
This question
Always never makes me smile
I want one..
Don't get me wrong
There's more for me in life
I'm finding where I belong
That rejected look
I'm not defective
Taking my time
Have fun playing detective
I've made the mistake
Turned my living room into judge Judy
I've learned, I withdraw
Far from perfect, who am I to decide?
There's so much I never hear,
Wish I never saw
I don't listen to what people say
I watch what people do
It's true.. actions yell
Like thunder from the clouds
When I do something right,
I can hear my relative angels proud
Raised with truth that I could make adifference
Here I am trying to live in my grandpasshoes
But going to college, get the degree,work for a CEO
Wrong size for me, don't care how manybattles I lose
It's how you do better, raise yourselfup
Practice makes perfect
Untying knots, finding pollutions
Traveling life, it's so abrupt.
There's no shield for life
No knight in shining armor
Rather be the solution
Skip by Walmart,
Pay the farmer
When I tuck myself in
I sleep well, I dream
Happiness comes from within
If what I do is so evil,
Just know I'm content with living insin.

Galaxies Apart
|
Hurting you wasn't my intention
For me to keep sanity
My spirit halted me with anintervention
You're a shot in the dark
Our minds are galaxies apart
Too much conflict
While I disliked it,
You seem to be an addict
I'm more content
Finding less and less to vent
My battles are fought by me
Your battles are an Odyssey
Clash of the Titans, Greek mythology
Too much drama for me
I'll retreat while you cry to yourmomma
Hopefully peace and happiness find youtomorrow

Better Yet
|
Everyone on earth has purpose
When that monkey doesn't perform
Life becomes a wild circus
You wake up to an alarm clock
Give up your dreams
Must not have felt important
Backfires with a ass kick in high swing
Laziness isn't a disease,
It's a choice
Everyday you deny change,
You're ignoring an angels' voice
The earth wont spin a solution on your lap
Open your senses and live the minutes
Wake up your spirit from it's boring nap
Better yet,
Do it for your offspring
Be an example
The out of reach idea needs to be wiped cleaned
Don't be afraid of rejection
The more you share,
The more you'll provoke attention
It's proud and awakening
It's standing in front of people and making them dance
Singing in front of a crowd entertaining
Never thought you'd have the chance
But you took one and it feels good
Keep doing it because it's happiness, make it last!
Nothing in this world is more importantthan making people smile
If there's something you can do to bring that on
Make tons of it and bring me a sample
Share it and share it again, then share it more
It's more contagious and your worrieswashed to shore
Seeing happiness is a moment everyone adores!

I do
|
A wedding is about the bride and groom
So why does everyone jump to assume
That they're opinions means the bible
It's mothers and daughters that createthis vicious cycle
Moms want to throw their daughter thebest day ever
They're reluctant to think their dreams aren't the brides endeavor
Its one day in life
With all strings attached
My energy sure feels the bite
No matter how hard you try,
People flake or become insane
You begin to wonder, why?
Then Eloping doesn't sound so mad
All that matters is the bride walks down the isle with the dad
The groom takes her hand
A strong love is witnessed and spread across the land.
Daughters keep your head and will strong
It's about you and the groom,
That's where the power belongs
Don't let other steal your focus
The moment you say “no”
Treasured friendships may become bogus
Everyone else, keep your mouth shut
Wish there was a nicer way to say this,
I'll just be blunt
Doesn't matter what you think or do
For once in your life,
This day isn't about you!

Shapes and Sizes (not finished)
|
Small changes come in different shapesand sizes
Don’t forget for a second what we letdivide us
At the end of the day how does physicalbeing really matter?
Be kind, one day the one you quietlydisgrace might save ya
No one is perfect, no one is superspecial
We're all here for a reason,
No one is blessed with a special spell
it'd be scary to animate what some keepinside
They figure out what makes them tick,what makes them drive
I'm not trying to get psychological
These are thoughts that cross my mind
My own behavior scares me sometimes
As I change, it's like steppingoutside of my skin
Better described as emerging from whattrapped me, the hollow bin

Chemicals Vs The Human Race
|
Used to worry about polluting the air,
Now it's food,
Gotta read labels,
Those scientific fourteen letteringredient(s)
Might do crazy things to your hair!
Look up and down isles,
My stomach feels out of place
All I'm looking for is real food
Seems most the world and I don't workat the same pace
If I'm getting attacked my an asteroid,
Maybe Top Ramen
Maybe Oreos
Maybe McDonald’s
Maybe, just maybe Spaghettios
But everyday? My body would bedestroyed!
That motor oil belongs in your car
Not in fruit or a TV. Dinner
Because the gov paid a farm!
It's become machines and chemicals
Vs
The human race
People, come on!
We need to kick it up a notch
I know there's humans with good taste
Please don't make food
Where chemicals and flour becomeinterlaced!
The human race made these factors
Mother nature doesn't need to botherscaring us with her disasters
We'll wipe ourselves out or go to Mars
Too bad I'm not a fan of those candyBars
Those would do me just right
If I'm stuck in a basement
While an asteroid hits and tries toburn us out of sight.

They Want -work in progress-
|
So many thoughts in my head right now
Trying to make sense of it, but how?
It's crazy to me how life is connected
What I do here,
Some girl in China probably effected
In an age where we value money over health
It's amazing some live long enough to enjoy wealth
Clothing, real food and equal rights
They should grow from the ground
Bait politics with dollar bills
NOW it's time to fight
They want water,
They want gas,
They want land,
They want anything with mass
What once was free
They'll treat from disease
After it's been processed and whatever else
Then we'll feel it's worth working for
Somehow we waved our freedom out the door
The importance of education before raising kids
They tell couples they should wait until marriage
You'll do it whether you're married or not,
Who are they trying to kid?
This is why the single mother needs to work long hours
What happens to her kid is beyond her power
She trusts someone to help
Truth is,
Hard to trust anyone but yourself
Once that kid is in hand
The dirt that always ran through your hand
Is no longer your land
It's about those 10 fingers and toes
You gotta swallow all you life's woes
So they can grow up to make you proud.
Improve the world best way they know how
For that child
When you go shop
Is this a place you want them to obtain a job?
Where a shirt with the stores name?
Or would you feel bad for them, alittle shame
Then put that dollar away
Walk the extra block or two
Skip the extra day at the cafe
And give it to the ones that would bendover backward
Where you spend you money
You gotta think about all the factors
If you don't want to take the time
That's your choice,
It's fine
If you want to complaint
Just talk in someone else' ear,
Not mine.

Moments Ahead
|
Life provides all the drama I need
From Britain's Queen
To the College Dean
If you think I serve you purpose
Get to know the insides,
Don't judge by my surface
I'm not here to fill your time
I'm here to make the most of mine
So if you want to be here that's cool
If not, fix yourself,
I brought a bag of tools
I'm not here to fix you or diss you
Not about fixing flaws or telling you what to do
I'm here to enjoy the moment
Not sure how many are ahead
I'm gonna enjoy them all before I'm dead

Seems Long Overdue-Work in progress
|
Many Many Jobs
If I was a kid,
I'd stack them like pogs
Never did I find a place
That I wanted to pursue
A legitimate company
Seemed long overdue
Searched and Searched
Found no more
Can't be late or get fired
Really? Who's keeping score?
Finally found Verizon
Worked on the phones
Thought it was a final destination
Melted my sanity to my bones
Felt I was sufficating
My world overwhelmed
So many feelings bottled up
So much, I no longer felt
Ice Princess
Needed a recess
From all this crap
It's like someone threw water on myface
Gave me a good old SMACK
Got sent home
Couldn't go back
How on earth
Did this country get so of track
We value money over health
Companies take our brains with suchstealth
Gotta look at this and think
If I owned a company and saw employeesthis way
I could NEVER turn the other cheek
If they do,
What motivated me to find another
Nope, not again,
Got nothing to lose
Broke as hell, but I've still got honor
I'd rather go bankrupt than help themstand tall
So why am I here?
God has a reason
But to me its unclear
Everyone has a time
With their life ends
There's no more rhyme
There's no more friends
They were put here to do something,
Big or small
It's not like there's a wall thatlimits it
Got lets you know when you'reprohibited
So until the numerous small things comeup
Or I run into some ridiculous largehick-up
I'm going work to bring my dreams tolife
They're no good in my head
If I die,
No one can dissect it and say
“I'll do this instead”
Makes sense to me to take the time
The moms and pops working hoursovertime
On their own goods and shops butsomehow are still behind
I'll promote you!
My shop too!
A mall filled of homemade moms and popsgoods
Made in America, this must beunderstood
The saying “It takes money to makemoney”
Remember that when you order pancakeswith a little honey
Nothing in this world is free
If you want your kid to get a good jobout of school with a degree
Say goodbye to anything made overseas.
