Artist

Artist-by Michelle Artiaga

Dancer, let your spirit fly,
Dancer, touch the sky.
Let your love float through your fingertips,
Let your dreams shine in your eyes.
Dance, Dance til your free as the wind,
Break the chains that bind you on the ground.
You're a dove, pure as the driven snow,
Let it show, let it flow, to help them grow.
Singer,Let your voice resound.
Singer, proclaim out loud,
That the song so deep inside your soul,
Will touch a heart and make it whole
Sing,Sing. til your free as the wind,
Break the chains that bind you on the ground.
You're a dove, pure as the driven snow,
Let it show, let it flow, to help them grow.
Actor, step outside yourself,
Actor,become a tree.
May your branches give fruit to the hungry ones,
nourish them, set them free.
Act, Act until youre free as the wind,
Break the chains that bind them on the ground.
You're a dove, pure as the driven snow,
Let it show, let it flow, to help them grow.
Artist, Take a selfish world,
And create a work of art.
May your images and color enlighten those,
Who stand alone, in the dark
Paint, Paint, til your free as the wind,
Break the chains that bind you on the ground.
You're a dove, pure as the driven snow,
Let it show, let it flow, to help them grow

Tattoo

Tattoo
If love could be written in ink, 
yours would be the only story on my skin
not fading, not leaving, but deep within
Like ink that time can never erase.

You're the mark my soul has chosen,
a flame that keeps my spirit open.
Through every scar, through every fight, 
you are my dawn, my saving light

You're not just a chapter, you are the 
book,
the name I whisper, 
when no one looks.
The warmth in my chest, the truth in my 
eyes, 
the reason the moon still
hangs in the skies. 

Youre the mark i cherish, the art i adore,
not just a season, but so much more. 
My promise, my prayer, my endless truth
I'll grow, I'll change, for the love of you. 

I shattered the glass that held your trust, 
left diamonds of love to gather dust.
But I'll be the thread to stitch us whole, 
a lasting bond of heart and soul.

I'd ink my change with colors new, 
rewrite the patterns I once drew. 
A cover-up for the scars I've made, 
a brighter design where the shadows fade. 

Your love's the art I wont disguise 
Not a single line would I replace, 
a sacred mark I'll always hold. 

Your love is the art I won't disguise
No cover, No mask, no other name, 
only your touch fuels my flame. 

Fresh ink burns, but beauty remains, 
Healing takes time, the skin feels sore, 
but what comes after is worth far more.
I'll wait for the wounds to close and fade, 
So our love can live, etched deeper than 
skin 

And when you are ready, whole and new, 
I'll stand here waiting, only for you. 
So stay with me forever, like a tattoo on 
my body, 
etched in my veins, my one true story.

Smile the sun

Some people aren’t all that bad
Sometimes they can intrigue 
The things they want, the things they know 
When you ask em what they think 

I’ve lived a lot a life too young 
And met some wise old folks 
Some fools who beat their chests like drums 
And some who sorrow chokes 

Each of them are all unique 
With their own tale to tell 
From yellowed pages with faded ink 
To those with ink yet awell. 

A cruel man wasnt always cruel
Nor A wise man always wise 
But the story told behind these fools 
Is told within their eyes 

All these people miserable 
And beautiful in their ways 
Through experience incomprehensible 
I hope to one day say 

I hope to see you smile the sun 
Feel it’s warmth upon your skin 
Embrace the good that is to come 
Soon as your life begins 

Though beaten down and broken 
Life has left you in the dust 
With trauma left unspoken 
You’ve seen the world as rust 

So I walk these hollow streets 
With a smile on my cheek 
Because sometimes all anyone needs 
Is someone to stop and speak 

Tell them they deserve to smile the sun 
Feel it’s warmth upon your skin 
Embrace the good that is to come 
Soon as your life begins

Life is hard, and life is short 
Especially for folks like you and me 
When your mental progress report 
Is failing everything except philosophy 

Just remember that you matter 
Thst your trials meant a damn 
That even when lost and scattered
That Youre special so you can 

One day still smile the sun Feel it’s warmth upon your skin 
Embrace the good that is to come 
Soon as your life begins

Pay It Forward

As the sunshines, and the clouds move toward.

All i ask for is someone to pay it forward.

Its really not all that hard to do ya know.

You just have to look inside, its just love you have to show.

But most of you wont, why do you say.

Your all caught up in your own world, you only care for you today.

Its a shame everyone is to busy to take a moments time.

To show youre true feelings, to show youre truly kind.

See im fighting a battle you all think i will lose.

But in the end i will win, because of something I choose.

I choose my strength to think of others, before i think of myself.

To give my last dollar away, instead of hoarding for that stuff on that shelf.

Most never see my true side, they dont deserve to see.

For if they really saw it, they still wouldnt believe me.

So i say this with pride, with honor and with truth.

Changing the world today, doesnt just start with me, but it also starts with you.

#payitforward people, make people matter again. Everyone deserves to be happy not only a select few.

An Empty Soul

As the time creeps near
Hold back your fear 
Swallow that lump
Did you hear that bump? 

Creeping creeping creeping ever
so close
No one recognizes the danger, no one knows
A chill runs up your spine, fear 
grows
Ice in the air as the wind blows

Barely holding strong, pushing down the scream
Solid darkness not a single sunray nor light beam
Knowing its so close you can taste its stink
Quickly over taken you no time to think

Fear collapses your legs, dead stops your feet
You know for sure this time its death that youre destin to meet
The lump in your throat impossible to swallow
Finally you lay yours eyes on those that will always remain completely hollow...

Even Though Youre Gone I Try To Follow In Your Footsteps

It’s been along time since your death but it seems like yesterday
I still mourn your loss and for your soul I pray
Nothing is the same I see life differently
Now that your gone I’ve changed to be the best I can be

To change how I live I’ve gone to the depths
Even though you’re gone I try to follow in your footsteps

My heart was black your love has turned it red
Where there was anger and hate now there’s happiness and joy instead
Forgiveness use to be the furthest thing from my mind
Now it’s easy I forget the past and I’m kind

To change how I live I’ve gone to the depths
Even though you’re gone I try to follow in your footsteps

Charity and generosity was not in my equation
Now I look for it in any situation
You were not perfect but you were as close as can be
I strive for it and want others to see

To change how I live I’ve gone to the depths
Even though you’re gone I try to follow in your footsteps

Maybe they’ll change for their own good health
Or find out the satisfaction of being true to oneself
All that you were is now a part of me to 
Following your example brings me closer to you

Sidewalk Steppin

Crime wave, crime pays
Crime goes on all day
But its not a crime to 
feel the way i feel
Say the things I say
I stole your bike 
cause had built in getaway
I stole your wife bewcause
She said she wasnt 
into it anyways
I dont know why Im so 
Worried about it.
God knows the world
Servbes me cold
So I sent your wife 
riding your bike righ
Back into your life
Right back to you

 that 
Right here in the situation
Right here in the clench
Jammed up in the bottleneck
Right here in the strategic conversation
Youre complete dissertation
Your doctorites thesis 
On masterbation
You otta check
Direct deposit your
Thoughts through  
your hollow neck
If you check what I bought
You know 
That its time that
Its time to inspect

Home Isnt the Same For Everyone

I hide in my room from the bull this house draws in, and puts out through the people inside. I miss the happiness this house had. I miss feelings welcome, and loved in this house... Its not home anymore.

Home:
1. A place filled with people you love, and who love you.
2.A place you feel safe

Home is where you go when youre having a bad day and you want to relax, let out all you've been supressing throughout the day.
People may ask, "Why do you supress? Why not be yourself?"
You ask that until i start getting comfortable and start showing who i am just for you to tell me im ed in the head, and you board up my walls yourself...

I fear coming "home". Everyone who fears going to the place everyone in their family calls home, has their own reasons.. Whether it be abuse, harrasment, sexually, or other things. If they fear something in their house its not something small.

No ones problems are too small.. It may be small to others, but to that person its bigger than you might think.

One Journey

There are things all around us, that try to create,
An illusion of a world that isnt filled with hate..

Cant even speak about race without starting to fight,
People judge cultural differences which isnt right.

We are born with the blessings of being uinique,
But the only thing we do is critique critique critique.

I am me just trying to get by, 
But not making waves in life brings demise

We are lost people, we need to find our way,
In cast based system, spiritual growth is at bay

We hide our emotions, try to be made of stone
This spiritual journey is one that must be made on your own

Every day is a gift sent to us which isnt guaranteed
But the journey through life is something that we need

Some people believe we ascend, some people believe when we die its the end, 
Either way i wont pretend that i  have the answers to impress them

So many things that run through our minds 
yet we let our selves roam completely blind in time

Trying to impress those who only judge, but if it was you or them on a cliff theyd give you the nudge..

Try to be different and accept those who are,
You will ascend through their knowledge to the stars

People are not above you, and you are not above them,
Love your neighbors through thick and thin

This is just one mans mind rambling for hours,
But let these words instil a certain power

One that enables you to do great things, 
Remember youre beautiful and unique in the end.

Thankful

I am thankful for the time I was allowed to spend with you.
and knowing the happiest time in my life lasted one week true.

To kiss your tender lips and hold your healing hands
was something very special experienced by a simple man. 

To see the mark upon your face like no other woman would dare
gave me a sense of truth in a time when I was lost in despair. 

Yes I made mistakes but I can not refuse my love
because I know deep down in my soul youre all I'm thinking of 

My vanilla bean my lion queen youre still my number one
and if your love was meant to hurt me I'd do it over just for fun 

48 hours on the phone a record in my book 
We talked about everything from religion to what we cooked 

We told each other I love yous and we said sweet dreams 
We snored until the sun came up or until the morning sun gleamed 

We read books to each other for hours on the phone 
and we played online games when we were bored at home 

I am so greatful to have met someone just like you 
but I admit that I was the biggest mistake that you could ever do;)

for someone who will always remain in my heart thank you for the time shared:)
