All my life i fought for a Dream.
Dreams, that werent mine
Dreams, that i never dreamt
Dreams,that never kept me awake
I fought and fought and fought
I toiled and toiled and toiled
And I pushed through
For a dream i never cherished
A dream i never saw myself in,
A dream dreamt by someone else.
And i lived in someone else's dream,
For all my life, i fought for someone else's dream
When mine were buried six feet deep

She had her best sweater,
though youve never seen her worst,
it werent much better than her Tuesday best.
Though there was a good vibe about her wearing it.
a super life heat ecrusted,
a warp speed to her existence,
George Lucas signed 1977 star wars sweater.

What's there to lose ,
Although what's there too
gain?
How did we end up
In the rain.
Whom is da one to
Blame
Why does it have to
Carry on dis way
It's insane.
You took my last name .
You think I don't notice
Change.
I'm use to everything
being the same.
I don't know why
Your doing this
Teardrops fall
I don't understand .
I can't believe you turned
On me so fast.
Quick to replace me,
Did you even really
Love me ?
Can I even ask how
But maybe it's best
If the questions werent
Asked
An I just left alone .
Where would I go
What would I do
The only home I made
Was you .
You were all I want.
Im sorry i lied too u
I'm sorry for my part
I guess I'll go
Into the world lost
And alone
Once I leave there's no going
Back
Just so you know.
So all ur self if it's
Worth the lost
Of me an you....

On the occassion of the Cheese & Grain, Frome, announcing a surprise gig by Paul McCartney, via social media
Yesterday,
I could have bought a ticket,
What d'ya say
If Id seen the advert yesterday
Oh I believe in the Cheese and Grain
Suddenly
Facebook's half as good as I need it to be
All these posts arrive too late for me
Oh facebook ads, don't come suddenly
Why do ads not come
For me to see, on my display
I checked again,
But they werent there, oh huge dismay
Yesterday,
facebook was a great place to come and play
Now I need a place that does portray
These gigs in Frome, without delay
Why do ads not come
For me to see, on my display
I checked again,
But there werent there, oh huge dismay
Yesterday,
Facebook was a great place to come and play
Now I need a place that does portray
These gigs in Frome, without delay
booo hoo hoo, Paul has now gone away....

Look in my eye and tell me what you say is not a lie
All I wanted was for you to a mother
I never really asked for another
How you gonna abandoned me and my brother
Look me in eye and say that you really care
You cant all you do is stare
All you care for is for is money sex and drugs
Man get out my face with all this bullcrap
You cant even look me in my eye and not tell a lie
Yea yea
When i was having a hard time you werent there
And i didnt except you to be I learned to live with reality
I wish the best for you I wish the best for you
And what ever youre going through i vaildate
But i reliazed you never was a mandate Now im living
With my aunt and uncle who actually care who actualy is there and they sacrfice themselves for me but I owe you a thank you shakirah you gave me life you could have decided to abort me but you didnt and for that thank you you don't owe me a sorry you never asked to be a mother unless you did

MY HEAD WERENT RIGHT
UNTIL I FOUND YOU
YOU TOUCHED ME IN THE MORNING
AND MY LIFE BEGAN
IT WOULDNT LAST IS ALL WE COULD HEAR
BUT HOW WRONG THEY WERE
LIFE WAS OURS FOR THE TAKING
AND THEY COULDNT STOP US
NO MATTER HOW THEY TRIED
YOU TOOK ME TO THE OTHER SIDE
LOVE AND TRUST AND HOPE AND KNOWING IT WOULD BE ALRIGHT
I LIVED ON THE EDGE AND YOU BROUGHT ME DOWN
AND GAVE ME A REAL HIGH THE HIGH OF LIFE
NO DRUGS NEEDED
JUST THE LOVE INSIDE

Walking in the dark ghostly night
During the black stillness of twilight
Into the forest of superstitious fear
Burning eyes through you do sear
A fuliginous mist hung in the air
Obscured things that werent there
Atmosphere held a sinister feel
Fueling fears how will you deal
Secrets held on this eves hallow
Bodies hid in graves so shallow
Sending through you such chills
Behind the spooky haunted hills
When you hear a thumping sound
Jumping in fright you turn around
Thinking this could be your ending
Doomed feelings now are pending
Screeching screams of night owls
Werewolves deep guttural growls
Make your skin feel it's crawling
Leaving you there standing bawling
~No one escape from life alive you see~
So stay at home and you'll be free
~Even the dead tell stories of fright~
On this Ghoulish monsters night
"No one escapes from life alive"
~Michael Crichton~
"Even the dead tell stories"
~Marcus Sedgwick~
Haha my sad attempt at scary!;)

I arrived without clothes or fears at birth
but wore both within one year on earth;
in a crib, my self-esteem doubt blistered.
Since my initial vocal and mobile phase,
I played avoidance to eliminate critical
corrections that felt like imbecile rejections.
For two decades my fears fed anxieties
over disciplined, quick tempered males who
like my dedicated paternal man, could voice
wither my core sheaves in ‘less than’ wisps.
It took fifty rough years of soul aviation,
plus my faith’s aimed navigation thru
brutal life trajectories, to remind me
I have always been the perfect me blend.
Just here ‘till home again and fear’s but
an acronym: ‘false evidence appearing real.’
I am uniquely valuable, confident enabled
and I daily fear shed but, well – maybe I
should pen about bungee jumping instead?

If I weren’t afraid, I would be a fool
For only a fool has no fear
The bravest of the brave has fear
The unknown brings excitement and fear
The simplest of the simple brings us fear
The first kiss or those wedding bells
Without these simple fears life would be uneventful and boring
I will always fear and be afraid
I am no fool

The day that we met
It seemed our fates werent to be together
Because i was in a mess
With someone that threw me away after using me
Then leaving me for death
Things being the same as before i felt like a used,
Heartbroken and battered door..
Until our destiny aligned
And we both saw the flawlessness in what we grew together over the course of our heartache and time
Like two plants, I see a vision of use growing together firmly planted and intertwined together, never to leave eachothers sides
Even through the storms that blow through and try and pull us up as we branch together and hold tight
Never will i leave your side boo
Never. Not until the end of time
Until everything ceases its rhyme
I will not leave you behind..because you are forever mine
And il let it shine for all to see through there own eyes

You were standing there lonely
Looking scared and displaced
In a word full of
Monsters, demons and wraiths
You were petrified frozen
Like a statue of pure stone
Enduring suffering silence
So far way from home
You were distraught by all means
Surrounded alone by strangers
Heart pounding so rapidly
From your feelings of danger
You were afraid it was obvious
Bad influences closing in
Felt a touch on your shoulder
Frightened you spinned
You were squeezing eyes shut
Trying intently to block it all out
Even covering your ears
But it didn't silence the shouts
You were losing precious time
Found yourself in an akward state
You tried to get somewhere
But instead you ran in place
You werent even close to winning
Your now stuck here on the ground
You tried so hard to scream
But you couldn't make a sound
You were trapped no one could help
Now you see that you are caught
Landed your self in a predicament
Caused by your careless thoughts
You were meant to find your strength
Supposed to find your back bone
And use your feet for running
Don't stop on the way back home

whens the last time i was genuinely happy?
when you held me close
so tight that i felt nothing but love
the whole world around me and all its problems vanished
but then theres that switch in my brain
that switch that turns it all around
made me realize you werent holding me
i held YOU.
at the time i needed you most i was YOUR support
helped you through one of the most difficult times of ¨your¨ life
weird how my brain works right?
my last time ¨genuinely happy¨
was helping you cope
while i was drowning in my own sadness
every muscle hurt from all the crying i did
i needed you but that wasnt important to you
you got the support you needed while i stayed here
stuck in a rut
in a never ending cycle of pain
but at least i got to imagine
how it might feel if you cared.

For every thought and memory that crossed her mind, she took another shot of liquor not wine.
A man who seen this woman suffering. Approached her politely and started questioning.
Maam is your glass half full or half empty?
She slurred back i need more drinking.
He took a step closer and took off his hat.
Life is how you see it, half full is your glass.
Prayers left unheard are just in mind floating words.
They never get spoken out loud
at home or in church.
They are left on the side while he goes down the line
Making notes of the ones who spoke up, who werent shy.
Ask him to help heal your pain
To rescue from a past thats your haunting.
Being set free from all rusted chains
That hold you down for evil to have its way.
Your glass is half full.
You can put something in it.
Or continue drinking whats left leaving you drained and empty.

I sat at a table ment for two,
But realize he isnt showing i mingle my shoe,
Looking over to a couple trying to make out what they whisper,
In jelousy i stare when he leans in to kiss her,
I watch the women as she slips off her thong,
Hands it beneath the table to him as if it werent wrong,
I couldnt stop staring,
They looked so daring,
I saw as the man refusly began to swet,
I seen the women word she is now wet,
The women looks over at me as if she knows ive been watching,
I look quickly away and awkwardly begin coughing,
I am so embaressed her eyes met mine,
Why cant they be normal and only dine,
If that was it i wouldnt of stared,
Theyd be just people i wouldnt care,
My heart begins to race as i begin to head for the door,
I promised to myself im never coming back her nomore,

Ever get that feeling that life is flying past and you're stuck trying to hold on to that one moment. The one where you werent expected to be anything but yourself. The one where you werent scared of what was gonna happen next.The moment you thought was just too great to believe anything could bring you down. Well, let go of that moment. Dont let life fly pass or your gonna wish to have the moments you missed. Remember your good moments but dont be afraid to make new moments too because, just when you think that no moment could possibly be better life surprises you.
