Overwhelmed 
Overjoyed

Moms wondering when her son will come home
She don’t realize he now belong to the road

So before me lie limp my shackled hands
Bruised and battered
Imprints of illustrious patterns
Disguising my fading fingerprints
I hear the sprinkle of rain, see the sparkle of thunder
I wish...

This girl was shy
This girl was introverted
This girl was afraid
This girl felt alone most of the time

You know what sort of intrigues me,
What I find is just a tiny bit cheesy?

I'm asking you to run. 
Run as fast as you can
in another direction.

of identity as you go through the motions
on the path already laid...

I’m sorry; I’m a little bit autistic. Please bear with me as I try to explain,
but it’s hard to see the world from your perspective, when I’ve only ever thought with my own brain.

Dedicated to my friend Jordan

Things always seem to fade
Fade into the grey
And it makes me wonder
Where is the color
In this world of black and white
Where is the color
It makes me wonder

We can go for dinner and have a discussion,
a bit of mass debating when we're done masticating.

If you come and eject fluid situations,
give it hard with the exact impact you lay shown,

The window

All I dreamed was to being free 
To feel a fresh  breeze wash over me
So tired of looking through the glass
Where others dance and children laugh
While I cook and clean and go through...

What is this survival plan?
Existing day to day
Playing parts
In others' lives
Never knowing 
Whether you are just fulfilling a role
Or it is you that counts

There is the living life plan
Seems a good option
Where you are immersed

And while feeling the steel against your chest,
You take deep breaths and hope for...

So many people I've lost.
So many hurt
So many gone.

Bye bye for now, at least that's what I'm told, but it doesn't hurt any less when the people you love you no...

It's sad it's considerered wrong
Ok,
it's more than sad it's just tragic
Something that can make life just go away
not just pain

And life can be horrible
And beautiful
but it's best to just avoid it all
and go through...

With dry eyed dread he shakes his head
He's not a man to show emotion
He'll do the job, dig up ground

A Chaotic World

I have many cousins that share my life,
There is Happiness, Sadness, and Grief holds the knife;
There is Love, Hate, Compassion, but oh yes, Chaos,
My cousin, Chaos can be mean and heinous.
