So this is it
Where I take my place
In these ever changing seasons
As I turn I learn where it all went wrong
Where time cut me so deep
In that moment of judgement
I ran away
I took a place that was not meant for me
I've wandered past my sanity
Right past all those signs
I feared it all
Oh how it consumed me
The tradegy of trying to fit in
It was no accident when all of it collided
So many mortal wounds
How did I survive
Barely by the skin of my teeth
Oh the scars still so visible
Almost like they could be cut again
As I reflect on where I am at now
I am not even close to what was intended for me
I write so many words
I explore so many emotions
This moment in time right now
Is where all my decisons will come full circle
I pray they are all I need to see I am so much more then before.
Who am I but another fool of scorn?
With what armor did the fates provide me?
A pawn am I to the house I was born.
Double the sight helps not blind eyes to see.
Believed not I the tradegy that was foretold.
My father's and mother's blood went cold.
My sister and brother would never grow old.
Between dreams and destiny my heart is further torn.
I weep for that which I carry that is unborn.
I dare not pray to release me from that I'm sworn.
Yet I fail and ask the devil his fee.
He said "Give me a pound of flesh for an ounce of gold."
Piece by piece my body is sold.
I'll be whole again is the lie I'm told.
I share my fate not as a story to warn.
Enough lessons come from travesty.
Judge one not on how they mourn.
Nothing in life comes with a guarantee.
Love is like a shinning light
That can never be quenched with hatred even at night.
Love is like a sweet Melody
That makes folks banish from their days of tradegy to comedy
Love no virus
To every man no dangerous
Love is like a wide pool
Even in hot temperature I feel cool
Love is salvation
That is in all nation
Love is adore
To every man can not abhor
Love is enchanting
But in different castle may be disturbing
Love in brimful bliss
That the frosty can't freeze
Love my chocolate
That jeopardize the hunger of sorrow SO I jubilate
Love be on all nation's
With no limitations
'Cos Jesus loves us ;
So brothers and sisters
Let us work in love
'Cos love is God and God is love.
until you send for me
until you see
me
walking on egg shells
one whisper away
from this glass house
crashing down
until you re-plant
me
and until you
re-anchor me, re-center me
h---, just re-write a new ending for me

It is with a heavy heart, I daily live with visible signs of regret.
I've tried desperately hard to be a valued asset.
I've been beaten from within & without, by our emotions & unsafe streets, which should have been ensured by our laws,
but who listens, since brain harmed.
Trauma can be wise, if one doesn't dwell on past, however others must ensure
success by forward thinking, not demanding hateful - fear.
When one believes achieve receives success, they too can exceed limitations, as I.
Belief that I am vaulable, others must see, before I am of value!
My expense is burdening (you have no idea), since no job.
Will others ever see, I was created to be of Brain Wise Saves Lives value?
Rainbow like reflection in the wispy jet clouds against periwinkle blue morning
sky. Jets going where? One going in an unusual direction across one in the set
pattern of travel. Since the latest happening with a jet one's thoughts turns to the
incident. Try to put tradegy away, compartmentalize it. Tiny pears are on the trees
survivors of the warm, cold, frost, warm, cold back and forth weather. God is good
even though mankind's nature runs to evil. The sun comes on up into the wispy clouds.
A beautiful day given to mankind in this area. Spring weather that is so comfortable.
Thank you God for this day. Help me to use it as best for you. Amen
Moon Can You Hear Me Tonight
Night seems to bring out thoughts daylight helps to hide,
Oh Moon, you shine so wonderful please don't hide.
Moon, my love, stars must envy you and your light,
as others envy me for our love at night!
but my tradegy plays out as you slip away.
Why can I only hold you till morning next day!?
Why can't I find some way to convince you to stay!?
Why can't I keep you and love you till my last days!?
Why can't I find some way to hide the sun for you!?
Moon, is it my undesired fate to lose you!?
No, don't answer i don't want to know what is true,
I'd rather love you from a distance than not love you!
So as tears fall from eyes and the sun comes to kill your light...
I sit there and pray, Oh Moon, I hope you can hear me tonight!
CMS
PS:
To the one girl that will always hold my heart, who to me will always be my moon while no star can replace what you mean to me. You will always be the one I love even when our love simply can't be... "Forbidden but never forgotten"
Love,
Caleb
How do I escape my life of misery. Do I run away or do I hide away. None of my
choices seem feasible because where can I go to escape tradegy or how conceal
could I be so that no one can see me. How could I be like the great Houdini who
escape traps; as for I, How can I escape life. Or how could I be like the incredible
David Copperfield who eluded object making them invisible, so that ,no one can
notice me. All my notions are idealistic and not realistic, so the best thing to do is to
expire, that will do the trick. Therefore, making me the greatest illusionist and
escapist artist that ever been - to create more than illusion and to escape the
greatest escape... and that is cease to exist. That is how I will escape my life of
misery.
There’s a thing about disaster
Makes us act as we should
All working together
Differences aside
Something about when tragedy strikes
We all pull together
Thousands become one
Funny how hate fades away
And love doesn’t hide
Hands are reached
And arms are held
Pasts are forgotten
Futures are gleaned
Comforts are given
And for such a short time
We go on freely living
Suppose the trick is
When all is repaired
Not forgetting the short time
As one we all cared
Take it back to our daily lives
Carry on with the trust
We all found a must
To make it through
Tragedies and disasters
That came calling on us
Oh if only our day to day
Were looked upon
As tragedy and disaster
So that hand in hand
And back to back
We put differences aside
And love didn’t feel
Like it had to hide
Until tragedies and disaster
Come calling on us
Jimmy Waters was quite a precocious young man
School marm a mentor who understands
Parents who love him to them he is grand
In the inner city not totally safe
School marm a mentor who understands
Jimmy gunned down by those who are mean
In the inner city not totally safe
He goes threw the ghetto to get to her place
Jimmy gunned down by those who are mean
Parents who love him to them he is grand
He goes threw the ghetto to get to her place
Jimmy Waters was quite a precocious young man
(Story loosely interpertative from It's Supernatural about a family who had one son born late
in life and this young man would visit an elderly school teacher eveyday and help her with
things she needed done and she encouraged him to read poetry and fine writers. He was
gunned down one day and he appeared to her one day when she needed someone.)
Like a bullet flying by
You flipped your car many times
Silver Car,
Shattered glass lay in the way
Shattered dreams thrown away
People lined the road where you wrecked
And made a cross in your erect
Memories are all we have
Memories we had
Memories we lost
Memories we shared.
So many tears
Were shed that day
So many hearts shattered in a unkind way
You were loved by so many
So many loved thee
A life left unspoken
Many left wondering
Why such a devasting thing happen to thee?
What good could come of this
What a tradegy
Maybe a soul can learn
That driving fast isn’t fun
A hurtful thing you see
When the one you love
Leaves this earth and floats above
There we were the four of us sitting upon the woods edge.
Breaking all the rules being little fools.
We thought we were so grown up that our problems were that of
greek tradegy.
We talked about sex, friends and all that in between, we had no
clue.
We were rico suave. We'd say friends forever, "blood sisters for
life."
We planned our life on that field. We told our hopes, dreams, and
desires.
Secrets buried in the soul of our youth.
We had our fights, and cried and made up.
Boyfriends brought there, scoring goals every recess.
Baby brawls, we were the rebels without all cause.
We were Chrissy, Roberta, Sam , and Teeny as the whistle blew
again we were
Rebecca, Leigh, Amber, and Tanya.
Every now and then.

....The noise of nothingness stood....The soul relinquished to...Changing leaves
filling the minds eye....Trees reaching out an at one another...Harmony captured
in the distance,fading....Silence deep..Within journeys...whisphers in a
rush...swirlings of colors of beauty as seen in a dream..perfections place...Time
washed in the waters undemised...Heart of a razor tipped rage....Tears shattered
upon shadows..Within the works of aweness....flashes of insperation ingnite
thoughts of action to be excuted...Drawn back to the sernity of the walking
waters...Sweet colors faded around one another;painting an epic of time and
tradegy of beauty and strife....surpadding of words--aweness within every
breath....the soul is touched...Nothingness....nothingness....more enclasped than
what was expected....relinquishment of a warrior....
A peaceful dream on a cool cold night
Protection from fears and unwanted fright
Waking nightmares cast away
And happy dreams as clear as day
But what happens when there is no protection
And there's no shelter to hide
These unjust rules need be broken
Just for us to survive
Where has the peace gone
We are all in danger here
I can smell the blood
I know now death is near
Will I ever wake from this dream
The dream thats torn me in two
Someone help guide me back
Because I haven't got a clue
No friends to help me out
No helping hands to lend
My fears are all here
When will this pain end
Tradegy has struck my soul
Why can't I just wake up
I'm getting weaker from the pain
I fear that I am stuck
Trapped in a world
Of nightmares and pain
I think that I've lost
This unreal game
This peaceful dream no longer clear
I love my life, I'm still here
In a dreaded dream holding on by a single thread
I won't give up. It's all in my head
