PEACE OF MIND
left hurt and wounded by my own actions,
yeah you started it but i didnt have to go there,
i shouldve just minded my business,
ignored the situation,
but i didnt,
i couldnt bite my tongue,
i couldn’t refute the anger you sent me in shockwaves,
words that i shouldve said but i didnt,
words that i shouldnt of said but did,
things i did in anger,
my actions speak louder than my words ever could,
all you seen were my actions,
you never even comprehended my words.

Hatred is given respect is gained
I will never trust you the same
The bond I gave to you was given to me
Because I would have never betrayed you
I was never given the chance to explain what took place
You just gave me a dark face as though you wanted
To take my soul and break it rather then talk out
The unexplained pain you chose to speak dirt on
My name
Knowing we would end up one day in a enclosed space because of certain ties we can’t erase you should
Have spoke with o me it would have turned out different
I had respect for you know hatred has risen
soft cherry kisses send me into bliss
upon my frown lays your silk lips
a graze of a hand so soft i almost miss
i shouldve known you were my solar eclipse

My mind is elaborate as a labyrinthine
Catch myself going on about something else with no help
Just trying to simplify things with stealth
Proper wording or something else
I dont know how to stop and be like everyone else
Just used to dumbing down myself
I gotta knit pick about how things have been
Words that shouldve been
And time of
Lord only knows when
Thoughts running to fast cant even write
This lo3m turn to shyt and thats being polite
It shouldve been perfectly clear
You only said what I wanted to hear
But you see, my dear,
When I look in the mirror
I still see the beautiful
Your smile and sense of humor, tight hugs will be missed.
Your constant joking laughter that made lifes struggles make sense.
You could move mountains with your words
That made climbing easier
You encouraged and lifted me up
And reminded how much I was loved.
There was never a moment i felt,
You didnt care about me.
Your more than a step parent,
Im blessed with a 2nd daddy.
I didnt show you how much,
You really mean to me.
Now its too late, your demons took you away.
Im sorry i wasnt there.
I shouldve come along time ago.
I hope you can forgive me.
My heart hurts even worse.
You were so proud of us no matter what
I never said thankyou
Until now im sorry
Your gone.
Maybe if i told you this before that night
You would still be here
With our family.
Its just not right.
Its not the same without you, even many miles away.
But now you travel to wherever
Your heart wants to be.
Visit me in my dreams
I pray you forgive me
I love very much im sorry
I wasnt the daughter
I was supposed to be
Lord grant me the power to forgive
so that I may have the will to live
Grant me peace
feelings of revenge help me to release
I need you now to help me in this place
Even if I dont win Lord Im ready to run the race
I know what you did was all for me
when I look thru my eyes I just cant see
when I put on my spiritual bifocles I see so clear
how much you love me and want me here
I know my journey will be long and hard
Oh God just be my lite in the dark
I must suffer but I know what I know
you will lead and guide to the path I must go
I cant do it Im not that strong
I give honor and praise you rite my wrongs
I chose the road but want you to fix it
I shouldve let you choose let you pick it
put forgiveness in my heart I truly need it
this feeling of hatred and anger, thru you Ill beat it
giving my love to someone who dont deserve it
giving it to you God you would reserve it
Im asking you for forgiveness for
cheating and lying too
see because all the things done to me
I did to you
now Im running back to you and
you welcome me with open arms
thats the kind of love I need
yours is the real one
GOTTA GOOD 1 FOR A FOLKS LOVE IT EVERYTIME
JUST A STUPID POEM FOR YA TRY TA MAKE IT RHYME
THINK OF THINGS OF SILLY PAST N FUTURES NEVER DID
OF THINGS I SAID N THINGS I DID N THINGS I SHOULDA BID
THINGS THAT SHOULDVE BEEN RIGHT THERE N THINGS THATS JUST R NOT
N THINGS THAT JUST SHOULD NOT BE REAL N THINGS I NEVER GOT
THINGS R JUST THOSE SILLY THINGS THAT WE WILL NEVER GET
N THINGS R THINGS THAT SOMETIMES WE SHOULD NEVER EVER LET
Hopeless from the start, I shouldve known it all along.
Darkness in ones heart, and other places it doesnt belong.
Broken fragments of life, are now dripping from my eyes.
A painful sight, but the only one you will ever find.
Dont you see the light fading, fading without sound?
Broken fragments of serenity, are now resting on the ground.
Can you tell me the difference, from being dead and alone?
Find one I insist, while you carve my name in stone.
6 metallic strings, 2 brothers to call his,
the only fragments left, when nothing left to give.
But even these have broken away, for darkness takes no survivors.
In its sinister arms I will wait, recieving the pain of which Im entitled.
Standing back from the edge
Im hurting do bad
Cutting cant bury the pain
I cant bleed it out anymore.
Sobbing for what I couldnt had-
Shouldve had,
I find myself at the brink
Rocky hills surround me
Staring out over the world
Reaching with my arms
Looking up into the clear sky
I scream
With no one to hear;
To listen to me rave about my life
My f***** up family;
Nobody listened,
When I was crying.
When my heart was breaking,
I had no one to love me.
When all hope was gone,
There was no shoulder to cry on.
No one even care
If I just disappeared.
Now the loneliness is unbearable
So I take one look back
Then face open air
Far below,
The falls roar menacingly.
I lean out
The foaming water and jutting rocks
Rush towards me;
I close my eyes
Beautiful sensation of flying
Then nothingness...
Should i have known this was gonna happen to us. They were gonna leave us... all i
was tryna do was save us from this nothing world. NOTHING! now where am i?
I shouldve just stayed back there and not have let you shoot me. I should have just
froze to death. The sun is shining every day//. but for some reason it felt so far
away.
I could have solved my problem bACK THERE in that nothing world...i could have told
him i was sorry for breaking up his friendship and that i hope he understands that
people make mistakes. Am i a person anymore?
I could have....i could have gotten over him...no one stays together forever...
because there is no such thing.
I ......didnt want to...fear took over me.. RAGE took over me! I WAS DONE FOR! that
world ate me alive! I couldve changed but ITS TOO LATE!
where am i? Godd if you can hear me i ask that you forgive me. i Am not
perfect.Dont leave me
(whats that light in the distance? wait is that God? He is...wait is he shaking his
head?) .....oh no=\
i couldve had you for a lifetime
i wouldve always cared
i shouldve stuffed my head
with the memories we shared.
i couldve dreamt of you
and your warm embrace
i couldve left with you
out of this wretched place.
i wouldve run way
just to be with you
i wouldve painted your skie
into a brighter shade or hue.
i shouldve loved you more
while you were in my arms
i shouldve been nicer
before ever causing this harm.
but couldve will fade
wouldve will too
shouldve has gone
away with you.
(vrs 1)
robed in white
but it shouldve been black
lifes counting on this moment
cant take actions back
bound by a tie
we look at eachother
and know this is a lie.
(chorus)
theyll say till death do us part
but youd rather die with me now
so we can get it over with
and leave whats been broken to be fixed
till death leaves us no choice.
(vrs 2)
whats the point
when we're left to disappoint
if we know we dont belong
then why cant we skip the vows
and leave our white lives
to be stained out by whats real
we'll break both ends of the deal.
(chorus)
theyll say till death do us part
but youd rather die with me now
so we can get it over with
and leave whats broken to be fixed
till death leaves us no choice.
i thought that we could make it work,
you acted like you were changing,
but i shouldve known better.
you told me you were ready to get serious,
and that you had grown up and matured,
but i shouldve known better.
i gave you my trust and my heart,
i made you my everything,
but i shouldve known better.
i believed in you when you just lied,
i stayed with you when you just cheated,
but i shouldve known better.
now im letting go,
cause i cant hold on anymore,
i shouldve known better that to fall for you.
