Lasting Impressions

His hands are small a lot like mine this I can recall, only to see no mirror upon this wall. Just look at my eyes they are not one of another, they are the eyes you left me with just like my mother. On egg shells we walked never knowing when it was ok to talk, we might say or do the wrong thing only knowing better to dodge your swing. You always said blood was thicker than water, so why did you teach us love was about hurting each other? We were your puppets and you was our master only bound to end in a tangle of disaster. You said you held the world in your hands, I wish I knew where it was that I stand.
Remember the time you said "I raised you the best I could?" Was you thinking the same thing when you were slamming my face into the car hood? Or how about the time you beat me so bad I peed my pants right where I stood? You took something from me that took 35yrs to get back don't worry dad I had to makeup for all that you lacked, while you were out busy dealing and abusing your crack! So many nights the aroma of whiskey lingered from your breath, only to awake in the morning seeing you passed out on the kitchen floor only to be half dressed. Don't you realize how that scared us to death! We were your children for gods sake, but you didn't care because you are nothing but a disgusting snake! All we ever wanted was a loving father someone we felt safe with like we did our mother. We couldn't stay in our house so we had to disguise ourselves and seek help from the shelters. So many emotions you put us through anger, fear, hate and isolation. Heck we wasn't even allowed to play, only time we did is when you were away. As I got older you would say "please stay one more shot and ill put it away". One turned into three knowing deep within me I just wanted to flee I just knew what it was going to be. Me on my knee begging to plea. Then you would say " Your nothing to me just get out and let me be!" I turned and looked at him and said "you know one day your gonna miss me!" He just replied,"I now have the one that I adore she's all I'll need forever more." Only if she knew what was bound to be as she became wife number three and by the way her name is Cherie. Year after year you put us last, don't worry dad because now YOUR just an impression of MY past. Now the tables have turned please tell me how does it feel to be the one put LAST!?

A Conversation Between the Weak and the Tough

its funny how society greets you with a smile and dismiss you and make you cry,
society can be a be a beautiful thing and a horrible living,
but if you’re not good enough , “deal with it” they say,
go find someone else they obeyed 

perhaps I’m not good enough,
perhaps I’m too normal for my age,
perhaps I’m too ugly to stand out,
perhaps that is why I’m just a someone in the crowd

its scary how words are sharp enough to cut through you,
how you can trust nobody too,
human aspires fame and popularity,
believe me, they’d sin if they had to.

but what is it about being accepted’s so hard?
we’re all different for gods sake we’re not human cards,
where you choose which one you like and which to disregard.
why can’t i be different?

why do i have to be the girl everyone likes?
because, if you don’t then everyone will run,
you think they would talk to a creep like you.
even you are a fool to think so too

face the fact, you don’t want to be lonely and so do i,
do what it says or continue to cry,
society is scary but you have to meet it’s deeds,
I’m sorry I’m not enough to be let inside.

im not the girls you’d see online,
the perfect thin ones, I’m not defined.
im a mess and I’m unorganised,
but that’s what makes me one of a kind.

a note to myself,
dont cry every night,
you’re enough what more could you want?
the grass is always greener on the other side,
so why do you even bother to try?

some have it worst so appreciate what you have,
someone in this world would switch their live with yourself.
and yet you say that what you have is not enough,
don’t bother checking a therapist, feels like you’re crazy already

you can’t please everyone, not in this world,
7 billion people and one out of third,
would still find an imbecile reason to disagree,
like i said it is how society is.

to all of you,
never beat yourself cause you are not like the person next to you,
perhaps you don’t have what she/he has but she/he does not too.
i hope you take this moment and appreciate what you already have,
someone else in this world is taking their last breath

Forever and a Day

Like most I suffer from heartbreak
It don't however affect just my heart
It makes my whole body ache
Ache and longing to hold him holding me
Ache and longing from this misery to be free
The loneliness wouldn't be so bad
But it's the not knowing how he feels I can't take
What I said to him wasn't fake
For Gods sake
I wouldn't make up something like that
I'm in love with him have always been for years
Didn't realize it for so long so now because of this I count my tears
I told him this I can't help how I feel
And I know for certain this is so very real
I know together we can help each other heal
Think though I've really scared him off for good this time
There are no good reasons nor any good rhymes
No one is to blame
Christ it's been almost nineteen years that have come and gone since together 
last
And it all seemed at the time to go so slow
Yet in harsh reality it all went by way to fast
The wonderful memories of my unforgettable past
Damn the years we let slip by
Gone forever in a blink of an eye
Only to re-play ever so slowly
Over and over in the back of our minds
Life is all to often unkind
The pain is a never ending fight
With yourself in which you lose sight 
Of all around you
And also like most I yet can't let go
Not until for sure I know
If he feels for me the same
Or if my mind was just playing another game
Can't do like I did before
Can't keep on walking out the door
Not looking back for so long, closing it and locking him away
I've had my chance to say
I'm in love with him
I know my chances are grim
Of getting to hear the same of him
But I believe him and me
We're meant to be
I know we still have each others heart
And from one another we should've never been torn apart
So I still dream, hope and pray
Maybe someday
At long last
We can stop the many regrets we have of our past
Oh I know I should move on
But the feelings between us they're not gone
I will go on trying
Even if I have to be continually crying
I love him in every way
For him I'll hold on...
Forever and a day

Angels

Where do I fall in the niche of things
And where do times change 
When you appeared a life time of promises sang
Being invincible is nothing I wish you to be 
Unguard your mind 
Don't leave anything undefined 
The muddy water is never clear 
And I wish to know the reason for every tear
When I walk away as we say our goodbyes 
I will peer 
Over my should 
And to see you do it to
Makes the cold air leave 
So let me clean your sleeves 
Of the broken and shelled heart 
And let us go to heaven 
To ask where we start 
I wish to know the truth 
So we can be able to move 
Without one misstep 
And making no mistakes 
For gods sake 
Its time to do something right 
Clip my wings one more time 
Heaven is not where my heart seems to point too 
Its like god know 
Very few do 
You are a being 
Sweet and divine 
I am here to give you the way to show your shine 
Blind me with your love 
Let me pour my heart out as well 
Fill the wishing well with the sweet and effortless stories we tell 
If I taught you to fill my heart 
To hear my love 
And to see my wings 
Would you shed your gloves 
And sing your dreams 
Would you like to be taken above 
To be with me one more time 
I have reservations for eternity 
All you must do is make up your mind 
Murder me with refusals
And block me with the usual
But the arch will leave by morning 
Or I will wait until my wings grow 
Would you mind soaring 
Touring the universe
And galaxies 
Stars and planets alike 
Just say yes and I will be alright 
You have kept my love 
For so long 
I shall love you and you shall belong 
Determine the matter 
Don't leave me here shattered 
Matted with fear 
Do you love me dear 
Your soul shines clear as a glacier mountain 
And the northern lights depict your souls flight 
That it has taken into me

An End of the Age of Innocence Part Iii

In our fast paced twentieth century world..,

We oft' have neglected to stop to smell the roses,
Oft' we used to bow our heads silently to pray,
As we reflect back to the sixties is had launched a pad to rebellion !
With a vast amount of liberal bias and thinking,

No wonder why our nation is sinking..,

Sinking amidst a cuss pool of mere morality..,
For now it is a quite different time,
A very unique but different type of day..,
An end of the age of innocence,

One hath been enlightened..,

From seeking truth,
Some fresh out of a garbage can..,
Yet for Gods' sake,
He hath such an amazing plan !

Hence, to shun the broad road,

Yet to seek to venture in the narrow..,
Such as a distant bird in flight !
You might see this creature venture out at night ?
Of the Eagle nor the Sparrow..,

It used to mean something to have a sense of common courteous..,
To hold open the door for your neighbor ?
Yet for the time being we relent and waiver..,
Would you prefer another taste of a certain ice cream flavor ?

To ponder we must be content with who we are in the inside..,

Nor, a mere fancy suit or blazing sport's car,
Life is a roller coaster..,
In what you do while busy making other plans..,
Finding solace among the height of nature.,

Such to think at what is quite simple,
As a young child reflects on his or her poster board,
Playing with their magic crayons..,
For in eternity it is such a very long time !

Take heed in what you do,

Now is the expectant hour !
What will one choose to do ?
There can be no place nor need for any compromise,
Within it's vast perpetual spectrum !

One just can't put a price tag on a genuine but unique heart !

Hence, with honest integrity..,
The time for change is today !


Premium Member What I Would Not Do For You

McGee was feeling poorly
Rather dizzy, kind of weak
He started thinking, that perhaps
It's a Doctor he should seek

His wife agreed, and drove him
To the nearest Doc in town
As they made it through the door
She helped him to sit down

It wasn't long before 
The Doctor called, and asked Him in
And it didn't take a minute
For the testing to begin

Then after all the pictures
The prodding and the poking
The Doctor's smile disappear
As he set aside all joking

I have to speak with you alone
He said to Ann McGee
Soon your Husband's gonna die
But it doesn't have to be

He has a stress disorder 
That will surely kill him dead
Unless of course you're willing
To change some things instead

"What can I do" Ann inquired
Her hands upon her head
"I'll tell all the things to do'
The Doc abruptly said

You mustn't wake Him early
For he needs more time to rest
And forget about a list of chores
He'll have to work must less

You mustn't stress him out
With problems that might weigh 
And cook him three good meals
Consistently each day

And mostly whats's important
As He handed her a bag
Have him take one each day
And for Gods Sake, never nag

The Doc then turned and said
If you do these thing, It'll clear
And he should show improvement
In six or seven years

Ann thanked the Doctor kindly
Then returning to McGee
Said "I'll take you home now, darling
And make your favorite tea"

It was silent in the car
Until they drove about half way
McGee then asked impatiently    
"What did the Doc say"


Anne stopped the car abruptly 
As tear fell from her eye
"Oh, McGee, My Dearest Love
He said your gonna Die"

Could I Belong

I have a sadness, an emptiness 
why should I have to contemplate life,
For gods sake I'm only 5,6,7,8....
but I've got nothing, I can't see any pictures,
I can't dream in linked sequences,
I can't touch.... I can't feel my future
I have nothing to look forward to.
...Often I ask myself why... why me?
What have I done to deserve this?..
I see,.... I do feel what's happening
...I'm awash with despair
it's heavy... it weighs me down.
...What do I want? My most difficult question.
I search myself, I ask myself all the time,
Yet, the answer is simple, it's not really difficult.
..it's to belong, it's not much to ask for,
to really belong....just repeat it, go on... 'to really belong'
Doesn't that sound good...it feels good?
To be part of someone, something.
To fit together and know it's meant to be,
to feel right, to feel connected....a connection.
To be wanted, ….wanted for me!
To be embraced ….and feel safe, warm, loved
to be part of something and know I can stay,
I can stay.... because I'm wanted
because I belong.....
and then I too can feel light
I can breath,
I can feel,
my smile can spread from within and escape to my eyes,
it can grow...I can grow
…..but for now  if you'll allow me, I'll only dream

Absentee of a Father

The feeling of doubt is when you have emptiness in your heart
Your thoughts when your brain won't function the sadness and depression is consuming the darkness from the inside out
It's when that someone who you loved so much just left and you don't know why
The only thought that comes to your mind is it’s my fault
I’m the reason he left cause, I'm such a screw up and a mess that he doesn't want me
His own blood, His own family just like that gone I keep wanting to talk to him but if I let him back in all the memories flow In and disappointment comes
The times he made excuses why he couldn't see you  and you want him so bad to be the father you’ve  always wanted 
For him To be the person to walk you down the isle but he hasn't been there not for achievements, dances, high school experiences, birthdays, and holidays.
You  know you  have to forgive him for what he has done for gods sake but does he deserve that
A parent who abandoned his only daughter
You have Brokenness because of him the deepness of my pain breaks me every time you  try to be happy
You try to forget him but it's hard to forget that your own father is absentee .

Crazy

going insane just hearing your name
emotionally drained feeling detained
raging pain deep within my brain
nothing can block you out 
no amount of drink or drug 
no amount of sex or a new Love
U were sneaky yes you were
you worked ur way in oh so deep
with ur slow and steady creep
I gave u my all my everything 
more then ive given anybody
You left me high and dry like I was nothing
left me there to cry wanting to die
my days go by slow im ever so weak
because ur memory just cant escape me
going insane just hearing ur name 
I lose myself more n more each passing day 
when u left u took with u all of me 
emotionally drained feeling detained raging pain deep within my brain
I hate ur name I want it to dissipate
I want it out of my vein out of my brain 
god I just want you to go away
Give me back me and keep you
help me find a way to undo this glue
I cant keep on I can't keep going 
do something say something For GODS sake help me forget u.
I am so drained and Im going insane
so ready for the pain deep within my brain to just go away
