His Dinner Table

Blackened meats on stove stops and grills
A better taste
A distaste between wills
I find her on my hunting ground with
the possessions belonging to my plate
But I have no plate

I put down bows arrows knives and pride
to give back men like you
who take advantage of the miles
to make two meals
and no supper
One should suffer
because I have never eaten
and etched into menus with your name
But by the sweat of your brow
I'll never eat
Put in practice limp muscles for my own feast
And I can't blame you
For that's the nature of the beast
Sneaking bites between lunch and dinner
But it helps me to keep
my center in forever motion
so I too can have meat

Premium Member Got To Change the Crappy Ways

GOT TO CHANGE THE CRAPPY WAYS

To all kinds of crappy individuals,
who think they are high and mighty.
I find them people with no principles
for they are really mean and slimy.

I was a disability specialist for years
analyzing and processing disability claims.
I heard claimants’ demands for hours
or their attorneys’; they could be profane.

They wanted the money they believed
they were entitled for paying the premiums.
The reason for delay, they could not perceive
and the fact their employer paid the premiums.

They said or screamed, “you don’t know anything”
and asked for the supervisor or manager.
I would say they would tell you the same thing,
so read the policy for we follow the same parameter.

Their attorneys would say I am an attorney,
like telling me I was nobody and they were better.
They would say I would sue you, like it would deter me.
I said, “go ahead and send it in with documents altogether”.

I would read them the provisions of the policy, why we
need documents and they would not even have a clue.
Appeared they were just concerned about their fees
without getting and reading the policy for a review.

Some of these claimants, they did not want to work.
They filed for disability benefits, as source of income.
Telling them they were not disabled, they were irked.
No disabling conditions to take advantage of the system.

To people full of crap, like rudeness and dishonesty.
Change the crappy ways that would not get anywhere.
I am not judgmental, I am telling with complete honesty.
Cut it out, meanness, nastiness would lead nowhere.

Never Again

God asked me is that really what you want? 
A man that truly doesn't care about your heart?
Who will take advantage of your kindness and only think about himself?
While you would put his heart above everyone else,
At that moment I thought of the past and now,
And how God weeded each of them out,
And placed me alone again so I could see,
I no longer felt trapped, and He gave me peace,
A freedom in my heart I can't quite describe,
Even through the pain and the tears in my eyes,
Like I could finally breathe again with purpose to thrive,
Like I've never felt more alive,
I thought of the apostle Paul with his words that I could now understand,
And I remembered that feeling of being alone again,
Not alone in the sense that you think, 
Got engulfed my heart around everything, 
All of a sudden I could focus without interruption in the way,
And I realized not one man I chose really loved God this way,
They didn't respect the faith and the love I held for God, 
And at that moment I thanked God they were gone,
Because the distractions were taking me farther away,
Away from my first love, diminishing my faith,

Dear La-Zette

I looked up to you and turned out just like you
You let everyone take advantage of you, me too

You didn't ask for anything in return 
It went on for years and you still never learned

How could you be so strong?
Trying to fit in where you didn't belong

I loved the way you looked me in the eyes
Telling me you loved me as you began to cry

How could you be proud of me?
I didn't even graduate, I got my GED

Now that I need you, you won't answer the phone
You won't even open the door to come home

My life has been so painful in the last year
I need you more now than ever mother dear

No hugs, no kisses, no late night talks
No more going in town, no more walks

How can you leave your own child behind?
Leaving me in this world to seek and find

You promised you'd always be there
You said this while brushing my hair

In the last year, I got married and it fell apart
He committed adultery, got caught, and broke my heart

I need some advice on what to do
I need you to help pull me through

Again you said you'd never leave, never say goodbye
You broke your promise, but at least I know why

I miss you MOMMY, I miss your touch
God tell her I love her, tell her how much

The Love You Left Behind

My love is with you, but I can't take,
All of your ups and downs and indecisive ways,
I cannot forget you, or stop loving you, it hurts my soul,
That fear took your heart, unable to show,
I shared everything with you, every piece of my life,
Everything that went on in my heart and my mind,
Never in my life was I able to give so much,
All of my time, all of my love,
I made constant effort to stand by your side,
I truly believed you were the love of my life,
The pain I feel is unbearable to face,
And I have no choice but to walk away,
There Is nothing easy about getting over you,
It was never about what you said, it's about what you do,
I gave my whole heart for you to throw it away,
How could you take advantage of this,
One day you'll remember and the tables will turn,
Of the love you left behind, the one that was true...


I'm Done

Author Dana Redricks
December 12, 2023

(Verse 1)
I don't wanna live like this no more, tired of the pain, the misery at my door. Can't endure it, can't take it anymore,
Gotta find my strength and step through this new door. I'm changing the page and flipping the script. I can't take this anymore. 

Tired of being broken-hearted and unseen,
Walked all over like I'm just a mat, so mean.
You mistook my kindness for weakness, thought I'd always be near, but you don't know me like that. 

(Pre-Chorus)
A person's limits can only go so far, about to break, believe me, I'm gonna break. When I break, I break, there's only so much a person can take. I won't tolerate being taken for granted, I'm leaving it all behind. When I'm done, I'm done and you will see I'm not the one. 

(Chorus)
You don't know my limitations, I'm about to break, can't take this anymore. I'm walking out the door, standing on my own, your love, once I cherished, now I'm alone.

(Verse 2)
When I break, I break, feeling shattered, disappointed through and though I can't bear this pain, it's time for something new. I'm tired of being used, tired of the blues,
I've paid my dues and now I'm through. 

People will use you, till you say no more,
Kindness mistaken, weakness they adore.
But I'm done, I can't bear this anymore,
Heading for the door, watch me soar.

(Bridge)
You don't believe it, just watch and see,
What it means to live without me, I'm done being mistreated, abused, and used, finding self-love, I won't be confused.

(Chorus)
I'm done, I'm done, no more being deceived, used and abused, my worth now retrieved. I'm finally free from your toxic reign, I'm done with you, embracing my own lane.

(Outro)
Thought I couldn't do it, but now you will see I'm finally free, oh-so-free, unchained and ready to be.
No longer letting people take advantage of me,
It's a new chapter of life, where I'm meant to be free.

Premium Member What It's Like Being Deaf

My ears knows only silence/
It's an empty darkness, a quiet void/
The world snaps, grows frustrated, mad/
When words must be repeated/
But they don't see the truth of our quiet lives/
It's not our fault, so please be patient/
Growing up, through every season of life/
We face the bullies,  the ones who take advantage/
They don't understand, we are a culture/
Of our own/
Bound by language of hands and hearts/
We live with the silence that surrounds us/
But within, there is so much to say/
So show care, show understanding/
Repeat yourself if you must/
Because we do ultimately hear you/
Even if it takes three tries/
Be patient, be kind/
The deaf are people, too/
We feel as you feel/
We dream as you dream/
We cry as you cry/
Do not bully us, do not mock us/
Do not take advantage of us/
Because we are human, too/

Premium Member In Her Prime

Springtime easing into summertime
Euphoric she was in her prime
She had mountains to climb
Dreams of a lifetime
Magnificent and sublime

T’was when she ran into a mime 
In the midst of his pantomime
Trying to make a nickel and dime
This distraction turned out to be a crime
Just some icky slime and grime

In the meantime losing track of time
So much to do before bedtime
To take advantage of clement clime
Better moving overdrive into overtime
Before daytime turned to nighttime

T’was then she heard the chime
While she was still in her prime
Still had those mountains to climb
And all those dreams of a lifetime
Magnificent and sublime

Premium Member Relish Life

“Life is short. Relish it from beginning to end, and share your joy in it with friends and family." by author of poem

Sip the delight of life as if it were fine wine.
Savor it as you would savor every morsel of a delicious feast.
Life will not always be easy,
So you must take advantage of every precious moment.
Dance, sing, laugh, chase fireflies, and watch the sun rise and set.
Such simple things as these are free.
Life is a gift, and once you open it,
It is more important that you share it with loved ones.
Teach your children the joy of living so that
Your joy in living it will extend itself for generations to come.

Premium Member I'm An Acquired Taste

I sit on the fence
Would like to be eccentric
But don’t quite pull it off
I still cater to way too many people
Yet I’ll never become their puppet

So beware to those who
Try to pull their stunts
I don’t handle well 
Being manipulated
Though I’ll applaud it
If well done

I no longer have it in me to be
That lovely little cheerful girl
The naïve type I used to be
Especially when dealing
With people who’ve been known
To try to take advantage of me
I can move on but can’t forget
I’m OK with being an acquired taste
