If you come back now
You will make my day
Dear Father
Because I am always
Worrying too much about me
My Father
I also worry about my health
Constantly
I want to improve my health
I still go for my shot of ozanpike
Every Friday morning
I inject the ozanpike on my tummy
I am slowly getting used to it
Also every month I take my shoot
Of abilify on my hip
The ozampike cuts my appetite and keeps
My weight down
Yes father I am so fat still
I am dying to lose weight
AND I know it is harder to lose weight
Yes Father I am sleeping fine every night
Also when I wake up I am always
Having the winter blues
I hate having the winter blues
Father please take the winter blues
Away from my life
Also I am happy that you keep me
Alive every single day
I have nothing to complained to you
About my life
Because everything is going ok in my life

the first cut may not always be the deepest ~ but it's the bloodiest
take a load off your fannie, Annie ~ but don't put your weight down on me
stumbled over a chair and broke my leg ~ while dancing with my eyes closed
put another dime in the jukebox, baby ~ or the music won't play
keep knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door ~ most of us will not call it home

One drop fell down, one followed more
Then my count failed, free downpour
From two cloudy eyes, tears wishes feet
My lone miseries, life's endless beat.
On my bay, a sweet sparrow sat
Flown from far, but resting at last
In his beak a thread, thin long
Kept his weight down, started a song.
Weary of singing, he looked over wings
In such small frame, life joyfully blinks
Then I spot his one-legged walk
How shameful my moans, how so dark!
Oh God, tiny wings evinced glee
In his woes, but a king in flee.

The mirror is her worst enemy
Yet she looks at it everyday
The magazines girl so skinny
She wishes,starves and runs her weight down
Should she be this way?
Should she hate the mirror?
Why can't the mirror be her best friend?
She was told she's too fat
Loose weight,get taller wear make up
She was once a happy little girl
Until her smile was taken away
She now feels unwanted
And she doesn't know love
Her self esteem has reached her breaking point
And suicide was a choice she made

this period of my life is my period of reconstruction
i seek God for advice instead of those of this world of overt opinions
yes there are intelligent ones to whom i am lead to seek advice from
however when i need the most essential tools to rebuild and renew, i know that God's truly got me because he GETS ME
no more will the merciless clutches of loneliness render me invisible
no more will self doubt be an acme anvil dropping weight down on my self esteem
no more will fear be the stone cold fear be the dragon breathing fire on my personal choices
through God's Guidance i will prevail, and as a direct result....i will excel....

Sometimes I say goodnight, but I still cannot sleep
I just stay awake and think, trying not to weep
I think about the past and things I just can't let go
I think about the feelings, I try hard not to show
I think of all the time I've wasted, what I let slip away
but I also think of time I have, eager to start another day
I still think about you, although I'm really not sure why
I think of thing I'd rather not still, no matter how I try
I speak of things in whispers, sitting, talking to myself
I talk of all my problems and my lack of mental health
I ponder of the could have beens and of what there is to be
I ponder all my inner good and what stength is left in me
I tell myself stop thinking, jut try and clear your mind
so you will have more room for what you are meant to find
so I brush the dirt off shoulders, lay the weight down off my back
I stop being so hard on me, try to cut myself some slack
until I slowly fall asleep, slowly doze off in a daze
so maybe I can find my way through real lifes crazy maze.

Stand tall, beyond all adversity,
Hardships and grief weight down on your soul,
Lies and betrayal have robbed you of your humanity,
How foolish it appears for these vile creatures to still uphold their dignity.
In your mind, no songs of joy are sung,
The poison of the world seeps slowly into your veins,
Loneliness your ally , nothing but your thoughts keeping you sane
Your garden of flowers , once an epitome of beauty,
now lies in desolation , corrupted and diseased,
Prayer after prayer you yearn for God's divine love,
For your life seems nothing, but an endless curse.
You feel afraid , helpless like no one cares,
People and their shadows pass you by , not caring how you fare,
Fear not , for all you need is courage,
The strength to defeat the monstrosities that plague your mind,
Monstrosities leaving you in an abyss , placing you in a bind,
Remember what i told you , that you are the master of your destiny,
So forge ahead towards the light , and earn your place in history.

Winter’s Visit
(Joseph’s Star)
Cold
As the wind
Blows across the land
Winter time seems very long
Outlined against a gray sky
Cold air brings shivers
Deep drift of
Snow
White
Wonderland
Brings some heart’s delight
Smoke curling up front chimney
The time of winter’s slumber
Weight down in pure white
Comes swirling
Down
There’s
The beauty
That renews all hope
With a simmer of sunshine
The north wind is waltzing on
The birds are singing
Spring has come

the burden of love weighs us down
and throws our spine for a curve
can't breathe a breath, might even drown
or worse, maybe just loose our nerve
to run like a ram for a highland crag
with love's lush greenery far below
with only the wind to be whispered to
and a beautiful view of life's limbo
but, steady we can find sure footing
on the slopes of our dangerous actions
and careless comments without putting
ourselves on sides of opposing factions
silently like a reliable pack animal
we can tote and carry that heavy load
as steadfast burrow or dromedary camel
to bare love's weight down life's road
packed in the sack or borne in the bag
love's load presses the bones that carry
yet light as the breeze flies it's flag
a burden of love can be light and very
easy to withstand, warm as your hand
grasped gently on a cool winter's night
carried strong, a load longed for and
borne together knowing love's delight

Troubles are building and their right on my tail
But I think of you and I know I can’t fail
I see my problems it’s the same old song
With you by my side it’s easy to be strong
I’m going through a very hard time and I'm blind
You are always there for me in the front of my mind
When it’s raining cats and dogs and it simply can’t compare
I call on you and my world doesn’t have a care
I’m giving up and giving into fear
So send me a letter of inspiration to put me in the clear
I’m going through a very hard time and I'm blind
You are always there for me in the front of my mind
As the problems weight down my chest
You give me love and I’ll do my very best
I look at today and I’m under the weather
But tomorrow is looking brighter as long as were together
I’m going through a very hard time and I'm blind
You are always there for me in the front of my mind

LOSS OF APPETITE (the heat)
Things don’t even look good
I’ve opened a can of tuna fish
Because –
Fish is supposed to be good for you (iodine)
150 calories in the whole 5 ounce can
(by the way – the can used to be 6 ounces
they kept the price the same but…
sneaky bastards!)
Mix-in some ranch and a hard-boiled egg
Good diet food
It’s smart to keep one’s weight down during hot months
I dump the concoction onto a bed of lettuce
and other veggies
Set it in front of me
Take one bite –
Nope!
It didn’t even look good
And now that I’ve forked a load –
It didn’t smell too good either
There’s a part-Persian sitting (laying) in the window
She’s trying to catch just one wisp of cool air
So?
I only used half the can
I don’t think Mahitabel likes ranch
But what the hell
Give the poor scorched kitty a treat
I empty the half-can in her bowl
It doesn’t look good to me – sitting there in its oil
Doesn’t look good to Mahitabel either

Shoulders square
Face front, do not stare
No tears, only dried eyes
Eased a sigh, one final goodbye
Carry and image of mystic
A day after another
Without you is incomplete
Shadows blend in with your reflection
Polished to perfection
The pall bearer
Palms up, raise you to the skies
Shoulders square
Wisdom of an older pair
Faced front
Left foot, right foot, up those stairs
No tears on dyed dry eyes
An image similiar to mystic
Bare the weight down this darkened isle
Past the first bench
Now lay me a peace
As an ignorant stench
You are my pall bearer

Let me take you into a dream,
Open your soul and let me
Fill it tenderly with wonder.
Let your feelings flow,
Your heart feel the morning dew,
Your soul find light;
Golden sunshine warm your morning.
Wake your timid soul and let it soar.
Softly, like silver raining from the stars,
Lightly, like a breeze from eternity.
Loose yourself in feelings,
Not weight down by logic,
Or you will not reach the valleys
And meadows of heaven.
A moment in time...
Only your soul will see eternity
