Lies Lies Lies	Rory Clark wrote: Hi Shannon, Really liked the metaphor "Your lies could fill the Titanic with stains" It is a powerful choice of words and the raw emotion in the poem is clear. Only thing that I felt didn't work quite so well was the billion fishhooks line, you could replace billion with thousand and it would flow better, just my opinion though this was a great piece of imagery Keep up the great work Rory Hi! I've took your suggestion. It does flow better Thanks for your feedback!

Bermuda Business	Walmart, you are the Bermuda triangle of business. There's no way Mother Earth would've birthed something so vicious You treat everyone that comes in your path as if they're a snail You pour the salt, sit in your china made thrown and laugh laugh laugh No one stays on top forever I see the sun setting on you days of terror If Jack from the Beanstock was real, Instead of throwing a wedding I'd pay him to put smash you with his foot! edited by svlynn18 on 11/9/2012

Sun Rising	You need more grease on your hands to be a man Motivation and self esteem to be a powerful woman How many nails will you gr(POUND)ound To make success a reeeeemarkable soooouuund? How many people will you hug To calm them down and lift away their shoulder shrug How many times will you use manners Seems it makes people feel respected,that's what matters T-r-a-i-n goes by...sparks...sparks They flicker away the dark Fairies of inspiration lift spirits ofthose who except their invitation Sending a positive spell your way Hope floats in clouds Greets a new day N I S I R N U S edited by svlynn18 on 11/13/2012 edited by svlynn18 on 11/13/2012 edited by svlynn18 on 11/13/2012 edited by svlynn18 on 11/14/2012 edited by svlynn18 on 11/14/2012 edited by svlynn18 on 11/14/2012

Peanuts Calling	Staring at this screen My thoughts are a race car in the indie500 Highly combustible and fast When I blink, they seem to wipe clean I try to stare again, All I hear is this woman “Waa WaaaWa Waaa” She'd be the perfect person for thePeanuts Christmas Chex Mix commercials I look down at the packet I was handed Shows a picture of the new phone out, Diagram shows where the controls are And how to troubleshoot issues Man..What I would give.. TO reach through the speaker of my headset Flick her in the nose, and force her to read her manual But I would fail Quality Assurance if I did that So I'll just sit here and be grateful I have a job. edited by svlynn18 on 11/16/2012

I'm Broke Broke Broke --Feedback Please!	Im 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 to a table isn't rocketscience If you ask me one more time what I'dbring to the table When you give me this spectacularcashier job, I may take a few twenties once thealarm is disabled. One thing you wont learn from a paper You'd better treat people nice Karma will bite, You'll be buying your clothes from thePenny Saver Women are caddy and compared to men weget paid less Lie all you want, but we're not betterthan 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.

Daydreams	Like the weather it seems stormy orbright When the sadness arrives I know I'll never have what could have been So many things I'd like to say Wouldn't matter at the end of the day I'll just close my eyes There will always be a dream tucked inbed Daydreams of the special love Will always trickle in my head

Surreal Steps	In the shower I start to cry Tears of joy, All the sad ones have dried Feels amazing to feel loose ends sewingtogether Imagine in a few years, my blanket willbe jammed pack Unattainable dreams I had as a child Will actually come true, just seems toowild You work hard and harder and evenharder Eventually it pays off The fresh oxygen seems surreal When you do it for love or purpose All the work seems like no big deal Hard work makes for clearer mirrors, The lines and wrinkles show proof yourhonest and sincere No need for makeup, just take care ofyourself Positivity is a magnet, a powerstronger than you will provide stampedes of help Most millionaires don't appear by somelucky lad rubbing a bottle Took one man, or two men Or one idea that took hours of work anddedication to iron out Those who call it overnight success They just benefit from others work, butare too lazy to put forth their best The fire of “I can and will”outlives the sparks of “one day” When progress is made, makes that firegrow stronger and willful Doesn't matter what anyone else wantsyou to do or say. They can complain, they can save money,they can do whatever they want It gets harder to empathize for themwhen lazy ways start to taunt. In a world where many judgesignificance by your employer You dare start something new, they'reyour new destroyer Some will pick you apart or turn theirheads which can make you blue But your doing something they'd neverdo, making your dreams true edited by svlynn18 on 11/24/2012

Get Dressed	If you're too tired too eat the meat Grow a backbone and stand on your owntwo feet Doesnt' happen in a minute Doesn't happen in an hour Works like soaking in marinade Longer it sits, More flavor is added to the taste ofpower Lips and a voice allow you to speak Ears allow you to hear Eyes allow you to see You'd rather ignore these miraculousgifts While you relax and drink a beer You wake the next day Disappointed that you've settled for ajob you hate Get dressed, drive to work Life is too short for this..common! Why do you wait? No wonder you keep yourself so wellgroomed You've got nothing else to offer, youfeel doomed That mentality wont get you down theblock Take a sick day and learn to play withsidewalk chalk Money isn't the root of all evil It's greedy people that pay to keep from naughty deeds being revealed. edited by svlynn18 on 11/25/2012 edited by svlynn18 on 11/26/2012

Allergies Allergies	Will the weather stop being bipolar Making my allergies feel like a chronicdisorder! Dizziness, sneezing, did I mentioncongestion All I'm asking is for Mother Nature toshow me some affection When Puffs is my new best friend I just hope this uneven weather willend I do get enjoyment and peace from rain For about thirty minutes, not all day Dishes, laundry, cleaning You'll just have to wait Non-important deadlines, I'm going to be late Sinuses aren't willing to negotiate

Nose and Ears	Nose and ears clogged like a showerdrain Sinus drainage feels like honey runningdown a beehive Red dry skin surrounds my nostrils, The cough is an ab flexor I'll cough up some honey Then think, man, It'd be awesome if this was worth money

De Javu-High School Again	First week on a new job De Javu, It's High School again Employees talking about their twentiesyears celebrations Getting wasted and drinking It's a dud of a conversation When I tell them I don't drink Then I begin listening I'm sitting in a booth filling out aform You guys are at the bar Talking about another co-workersrelationship storm Oh man Oh man, I'm keeping work and personal separate I really don't care how much they thinkI'm desperate I'm sure they'll say I'm stuck up, Or tease over a few drinks I'll spillwhen tripping over a bump But these guys at the end of the day To my face, they'll have nothing to say

Kill The Seed	Down in the dark This is where pain grows To kill the seed Dive where no one knows Swim through trenches, Wet suit will only slow you down When you've found the seed Rush back up to the top Before your lungs explode Rushing back take note Water will be bluer, Sky clearer Sun Peaking This is the fresh air you've been seeking edited by svlynn18 on 12/14/2012

Scrooge	Scrooge, You have taken over the world Seems people want to pick aparteverything good I've been there, I'm done with thatpart Get rid of what should have been Except what is and take a fresh start How many will you blame for the job youhate? How many will you blame for the crappyfood you ate? How many will you blame for the lack ofexercise to date? How many will you blame for the crappygoods you charged? How many will you blame for.... How many will you blame for? How many will you blame for..you fillin the blank(s). Get off your high horse. You know yourways It's up to you to change Always complaining things are toughernow than they used to be All because you chose to be lame, It's something you pretend not to see Get over the past and what's been doneto you You may never be able to forget, Certainly don't want to live in regret Over those that reaped the suffering Cause you couldn't let something go No one person can fix the world All it takes is an abundance of littlegirls and Little boys, who are provided parents That will teach them right from wrong Not put them in the middle Always preach love and self respect That's where the trouble ends Make a decision to not be defeated No ones place to remove rights or freedom Take care of your world and be good to those you love Those that matter will have your back They'll be there when push comes to shove So.. The next time someone tries to freezemy glow I'll take the few extra seconds to killthem with kindness Put their grumpy ora on death row When someone decides to put on a suitof politics When someone speaks bullets and swords Better to pretend they're puppets, In this lifetime positivity will win over sin edited by svlynn18 on 12/20/2012

Daddy Issues	World is full of witches I'd love to write on them with stitches Would you like to talk about your daddy issues, I got time, lets break out some tissues You say you want honesty Your reaction while receiving is deceiving Your say you and your man share manyloving moods Why am I sitting at a bar watching you hit on another dude Yours is at home, if he knew he'dregret Waiting for you in front of your television set When you come home tossed He'll make you food while you feel lost You know you should give yourself tohim Your denying him the right to get in You want him to beg for you Just keep doing what you chose Your love soon enough will be dismissed He wont be around to kiss. Happens with one man, ok Happens with the second man..eh Happens with the third man, yikes Maybe a therapist in your future isn't out of sight edited by svlynn18 on 12/27/2012 edited by svlynn18 on 12/31/2012

No Resolution	It's a New Year Comes a New Fear May not meet expectations High hopes with no expectedreservations Make things work right Try to sidestep every bite Open new doors Keep climbing them floors Wave to those new Try new recipes, Start a new crew No need for resolutions Make your own constitution Be the best you can be Maybe everyone wont see The ones that do Will stop acting a fool They'll get the gist Put up an iron fist Be at your back When the world tries to attack This is the beginning Keeps the world spinning Look out for you brothers and sisters We'll finally hear them rich bad boyscry whimpers Grin gradually turns teeth and smile Feels good Stand away They knew a mile long sword would stackthem one day

Six O'Clock	Look to the right Look to the left Look down in front Take my first step Eyes on the clock Then up the block Something ain't right It's six o'clock Bus isn't here Isn't this great! Want that promotion Being late will raise the stakes Finally here Guess I'm sittin in the rear Out the window So dark outside Makes it challenging to remember pride Through traffic lights Lots and lots of ring tones Lit up LCD Screens This is something I could've lived without seeing 120 min Seems sooo long Wish I could nap So hard to relax I'll sit back, Throw on my MP3 Cant let this long journey get a holdof me Arrive to work Yep, I spilled coffee on my shirt Too late to fix Now it's the color of bricks Oh well. Seems to be a colorful day Not everything can go my way

Blood Get Weaker	It's become a dead end When he should be your best friend She's in the room on the couch Across starring at dos grouch Not once, Not twice, Not three times when she asks, I realize an apology to me isn'tsomething you grasp.. Cant bring myself to look at you I've let you destroy me My blood gets weaker Each time you speak of her Thats what sucks about a dead end You want to keep going Our situation is something you'll nevermend I'll just beat this steering wheelinstead. At least it wont fight back My self esteem wont be attacked Just my tear ducks Totally sucks Your not worth it Wish you were a fly I'd smash you with chop sticks

Shattered Girl -input, doesn't seem quite right	You shattered my world I was a sweet innocent girl Thought my future was solid gold Then you flushed my heart bitter cold Went from a flow chart to a volcaniceruption Minutes, days, weeks, it'll eventuallyeven out. One mans laziness caused another manscorruption When foundation crumbles You constantly stumble Balancing on floating ice Pray for a solid double on those dice Teased a lot by a half roll, There's just so much I can't control There's nothing more powerful than notbeing scared Skepticism I've grown close to, afriendship hard to bear Think of a million possibilities witheach choice There's always going to be thatinternal voice Why make it so hard? One mans laziness is another manscorruption That someone else will take care of me, I'll never jump to that assumption Gets harder and harder, Then easier and easier Harder and harder Then easier and easier All that matters is how I spend my timenow What I do now will help my futuresomehow Where will I be in five years? Have no idea Asked me that a lot when I was younger, Always had an answer But back then I was just a kid Love, what's love your asked? You lectured so many times I'll put it on repeat along side alaugh track Love is opposite you It's opposite everything you do Trying to deal with real love That's truly far and above Anything you can comprehend. You taught me the greatest in life Concentrate on the good, Keep your head up with pride Conquer the madness by ignoring it Do positive things to destroy it

Pepper	Everyone has something to say About a day and they're not payingtheir way I got something so say too It's gonna be my way, nothing else willdo Is jealousy the ugliest color orcontrol I've made my decisions you can say nomore Remember that karma exists I'm just as capable of being a witch Your threats don't scare me Your the grain of pepper in my nose Shoot ya out like a cannon, Here comes the sneeze! edited by svlynn18 on 1/24/2013
