About Me

my name means flames that crawl down your face and ruin your night
it's when you laugh so hard you break your spine
but then realize you never had one in the first place
it's when you beg God to make an optimist out of a suicidal headcase
it's when you sit and think "what's wrong with me"
it's shades

My Journey To Invisibility

I mark the days I failed to starve up on my wrist in tallies.
 It's gotten to the point where I have almost ran out of room to count the times I’ve inflicted pain to punish myself for being human.
 When I get hungry, I remind myself of the blood on my scissors I use

Creepy Damsel

See as she makes her move
Towards the end of the gathering
With this all eyes were on her as one we crave
So creepy the moves were as one so daring

In a minute she stole my heart
For an unreturned everlasting trip
Not to death but that which is called a black market
Yes a black market is it that

Bitter Kiss

The bitter kiss
Forgive me please ahead of time
But I must write just one more rhyme
I gave my husband my whole heart and left for just awhile
But he was set on fantasy of a 20 something’s smile
Thus he left behind integrity, to surf the internet beast
And found a slew of young beauty’s upon which his eyes

Low Self-Esteem

Sometimes I wish I had more of a story to tell
A story of abuse or divorce
Sometimes I wish I could blame this all on hell
A story of true remorse

I'm not sure if it was my speech impediment 
Or relationships based on lust
I'm not sure if it stemmed from my first broken heart 
Or if it

Low Self-Esteem But God Made Me

Such as a woman would say with low self-esteem ...
Some say I'm not beautiful nor am I pretty 
But that's okay I can relay
 I Was Made created holy God Made Me for God

Big lips don't look like a model or

Low Self Esteem

The moment you comprehend that 
No one is your foe,except yourself
You underrate your attainment
Hurl pebbles at yourself 

Eclipse your sun because you feel jeopardous
You dread to be defamed 
Yet yearn to be venerated 
One advice:monitor two dogs or cats meet

Beyond the identity sniffing,
Eyes contact,tail-wagging to signify their status
Still remember above all
Status is more in the

Low Self-Esteem

It squeezes all hope
Like something tied down with a rope
Giving one a name such as a dope
Alas! Who with this can cope

It makes a life journey very bad
Leaving one with a mind that feels so bad
Here a child isn't bold enough to call his dad
While any man would love to see his lad

Like an honour

Low Self-Esteem

Once again, I approach the end of another talk therapy session,
and now my psychiatrist will share with me her benevolent wisdom.
"You have low self esteem most certainly. That much is obvious to me for sure.
It's an emotional disorder found most commonly among others like you known as losers."

Stuck By the Feelings of Low Self Esteem

You tell me I am beautiful
Why are those words so hard for me to accept
I swallow so hard
It is hard to believe
Low self esteem
Why cannot I take a compliment
I go by day to day
Feeling like well you know
The words I cannot express
Its just how it is 
I am this
I choose to try to understand
To let

Low Self Esteem

I wish you would 
ease your hold
on me...

I wish you would 
allow me, 
to be who I really am...

I wish you would not sit
on my shoulder
and whisper in my ear
"you're not good enough"…

I wish you could disappear
and never find
your way back... 

I know, I would be happy then
I know I would have 
the courage to
