Premium Member Dark Lady, I'Ll Take It Like a Man

Living in a house divided, too much to endure
Save up all your tears, you’ll soon be on your own
Love and understanding, how should I ask for more
I know sooner or later, we all sleep alone

Save up all your tears, you’ll soon be on your own
My dear, you haven’t seen the last of me
I know sooner or later, we all sleep alone
Dark lady, I’ll take it like a man, you'll see

My dear, you haven’t seen the last of me
Loving you is all I really want to do
Dark lady, I’ll take it like a man, you'll see
A song for the lonely, right now, I’ll sing for you

Loving you is all I really want to do
Whatever you're searching, I hope you find it
A song for the lonely, right now, I’ll sing for you
With you it’s all or nothing, stars have aligned it

Whatever you're searching, I hope you find it
I’d make it better now if I could turn back time
With you it’s all or nothing, stars have aligned it
But that’s the way of love; to give up is a crime

I’d make it better now if I could turn back time
Believe me; I was happy when I found someone
But that’s the way of love; to give up is a crime
I wasn’t strong enough, life had not yet begun

Believe me; I was happy when I found someone
After all, my poor heart was one that only grieves
I wasn’t strong enough, life had not yet begun
I was lost in a world of gypsies, tramps and thieves

After all, my poor heart was one that only grieves
I was still a prisoner of life’s lonely games
I was lost in a world of gypsies, tramps and thieves
And now, you’ve pulled the trigger, just like Jesse James

I was still a prisoner of life’s lonely games
Love and understanding, how should I ask for more
And now, you’ve pulled the trigger, just like Jesse James
Living in a house divided, too much to endure

I feel unheard

I know I have been on repeat for 15 years
 I lost all my originality when I was sick and stolen from
  My guess is it poured out along with my soul and fears 
 chasing after my sanity as it flowed away in tears

 Its hard to come up with inspiration when your on pause
 trying to justify the actions of those who love you
 or at the very least come up with a justified cause
 one they could of chases based on misinterpreting something they saw you say 
 or do

 But best laid plans and lost causes your once dream life was taken from you
 with nothing but a barely believable story that I can only take accountability
 for not being strong enough to stay in the right when they made moves to take
 my light and say it wasn't true
 confused in the dark is not a reasonable place to figure out culpability.

 The only thing I have left in me because I shed my soul daily I dont save up
 because I cant promise all good every day so let it go good or bad send it 
 home
 and start fresh the next day but I can't shed the memory of the darkness and
  the way out it stays in me like a circuit loop in a conduit.
 So I can travel in the darkness to shed light on those who stay there and 
 hope they find hope to search for light because follow me or you when its 
 their fight is not the best way.
 
 all this said and I am still not right I no I may be meant for darkness to help    
 others overcome.
 if thats true what all the pain to keep me here 
 so much inner strength it takes to just find a smile and a way to help others.
 heal
 when all I could been is gone why is that the deal

 unloved and alone for 15 years fighting a war that free others. 
 but dooms me to something that I cannot hate or regret only dred
 Hope that i did bot deserve it that I volunteered otherwise I may die in 
 clovers
 But surely it is hell that waits for me.

  I feel so unheard I pour out words that are not great 
 but they would carry meaning spoken to anyone strong and meek
 from ear to ear of peasants and kings
 and these words will carry a truth for all who truth seek

Premium Member Another Fifty Cents

Another day, another “fifty cents”
We used to say “another dollar”
But this is the year two thousand twelve
At current prices, you wanna holler

It's the age of out of control spending
We're lucky to survive every month
Where it's all heading is anybody's guess
We need to save up a whole big bunch

Save for the future, I know it's hard
But money you can put away now
Will seem like money straight from heaven
When you no longer can push a plough

I may be an alarmist, you could be right
But it's a matter of survival for me
Before long, it's five minutes to midnight
So be prepared as you possibly can be

Another day, another “fifty cents”
Have you checked out the price of eggs?
We're lucky to rub two pennies together
Except for what we get when we beg!

Premium Member When It Rains It Pours

Have you ever heard of the saying…
When It Rains It Pours?

Well that saying became real
in my life a couple weeks ago.
And it made me super depressed.
Everything thing in my house
seemed to breakdown( two things)
I didn't have any money in my
savings or on credit card.
So it's extremely important to 
save up money for a rainy day 
because one never knows what 
emergency will happen.
I learned that the hard. I strive to
do better in the future. As you know
we all learn lessons from life 
experiences.
Well you may ask me what broke
down?
Let me tell you what it was……….
My refrigerator and the plumbing
in my bathroom, stopped working
almost at the same time.
Is the problem solved?
I am working on it.
Am I still depressed?
No, although those things 
happened it could be much worse.
My kids are healthy,
I have a roof over my head,
lights, gas, food, bed and a deep
freezer( thank God for a deep freezer).

Premium Member Whole Life Ahead of Me

The people around here
Say that because I'm different
In the sense I'm academically inclined
And seem so calm and smart,
That I hold potential to go further in life
Than others, such as my peers.
But really: I can't help but feel like
I am going nowhere,
The present has always been
Just the fleeting time of me thinking, 
"The present to me is dull,
The past to me is self-pity,
The future to me is something 
I envision constantly.
But now even I hold doubt in myself 
And content in not pursuing living 
As society knows it."
I like feeling somewhat
Above everyone else,
Yet I know what it feels like to come down
To earth with "my fellow man".
It's sobering, relieving to know
That no matter the amount
Of certainty or motivation:
People are good and bad in their own ways.
Little to no one really has the right
To judge stereotypically:
You're at home, a bit chubby, glasses, etc.
I feel settled now, thinking I got all my life
To save up money and finally
Going around the world
Or perhaps a few countries.


Please Lord, Wait For Me

please Lord, wait for me
i know i am not ready
for Your face i would like to see
i am in no way steady
as i need only You to be free
remember Saviour when she
anointed You as she was dreary
for she knew her salvation You’d be
i see that same hope in You verily
but please Lord do wait for me

unstoppably she wept
nothing could stop her sobs
but still persistently she kept
anointing You with expensive drops
of a scent that expressed that she’s crept
for years in pain with teardrops
she could hardly crawl or limp except
when You’d give her strength for little hops
to get her by as she’d perhaps dreamt
Lord wait i beg for with hope my heart throbs

tears of praise rolled down her face
did she mind that all eyes were on her?
eyes that unlike hers failed to see Your Grace?
her valuable tears washed as she dried with her hair
Your feet which she then with a kiss did embrace
You gave her hope in a world abruptly unfair
in her was seen faith for which the world did long graze
Lord with her that unwavering faith I’d like to share
please Saviour take me with to that Heavenly place
i want to go to Your home to cast away every care

but how i ask do i joy in the Lord of salvation?
when my acts exceed the most abominable?
my hair is too short to show the compassion
that she showed for I’ve guilt unpardonable
of tears I’ve run out because every situation
and challenge I’ve failed did my heart disable
they have hardened me and now i lack sensation
with no savings to purchase i am unable
to afford that costly alabaster box of great distinction
Lord have you got time that’s ample?

Jesus, i implore thee with all my heart
for Time isn’t on my side Lord lowly and meek
save a helpless one like me who’s had it hard
please give me more time to go and seek
for more time to save up and run to the mart
more time please for my hair to grow sleek
to collect your precious alabaster box wherever it art
more time to call back tears to run down my cheeks, to streak
so Lord please take your precious time from Heaven to depart
so you can take me with to Your home where nothing seems bleak

Money

Money is one of life’s necessary evils
everyone seems to want more
Those who have the most control
Would even go to war

Not worried about the cost
To increase their monetary wealth
Willing to give up anything
Including their family or health

Money cannot buy happiness
Is what many people say
But to those who are obsessed
Happiness just gets in the way

Having money can make life easier
No worries about how bills will be paid.
The decision to pay for meds or food
No longer has to be made

Money doesn't grow on trees
But that's what some younger ones think
One day you could be swimming in it
The next it could be gone in a blink

So invest your money wisely
And save up for a rainy day
Because you never know what life’s
Tomorrow is going to bring your way.

Words To My Son

Time is of the essence
In the time we have to share
Tomorrow's not a given
Yesterday's no longer here

So live life to the fullest
Love and laugh and sing
Stop dreaming of your wishes
And live out every dream

Forget about your heartaches
Take your losses all in stride
Go beyond what you thought possible
Let passion be your guide

Look back and always reaffirm
Commitments that you've made
Be a person of your word
Give thanks for each new day

Don't compromise your principles
Sit to the Lords right hand
Be kind, caring and compassionate
To your fellow man

Leave each place that you go
Better than you came
Know that friends and family
Are worth more than is fame

Give to those you see in need
With silver and or gold
And if money's not what they need most
Just be a hand to hold

Don't live beyond the means you have
Save up for rainy days
When you find your one true love
Don't let them get away

Admit when you are wrong
And be humble when you're right
Make sure to say I Love You
Before your head lays down each night

Don't put off till tomorrow
What you can do today
Cause time on earth passes fast
You'll soon be old and gray

Listen to your elders
And learn from what they say
Cherish every moment shared
Give thanks for memories made

Be not bitter when those you love
Are called to head on home
Give thanks for all the time you had
Be glad that it was known

Be sure to keep your head held high
Work hard in all you do 
Remember of these words I wrote
And know that I Loved You!

Protection

In life, we must protect ourselves 
From harm, disease and pain,
With seat belts, sunblock, bug spray 
And umbrellas for the rain.

Alarms give peace of mind in case
Some burglars are about
And wearing masks convinces us
The virus is kept out.

In many sports a helmet 
Is required to be worn 
And knee or elbow pads make sure
No ligaments are torn.

We pay insurance premiums
To head off a disaster 
And save up for the future 
Which, these days, keeps coming faster.

We plan and try to be prepared 
For all we can expect,
But life may toss a curve ball 
Against which we can’t protect.
