Yesterday

Today I began to think of  yesterday,
Realizing yesterday was today and will be tomorrow,
How I wonder shall I do today all over again knowing,
Tomorrow it will be yesterday , The pain as fresh as
morning dew, yet old  like yesterday's news, I try to 
go on to pretend to smile through another day, Still
wondering how to make tomorrow not like yesterday, 
I cry I sigh my mind reals the pain of the past, Why
does it feel so fresh, Yet I go on fighting striving,
for tomorrow, My pain is deep my sadness to the
bone, my mind so worn my smile so frail, Then
I awake again today knowing how I felt just yesterday,
Maybe just maybe I say to my self, today won't be like 
yesterday, Tomorrow may come soon enough I'll
know when I go on another day!!!

Fairy Tale

No one ever promised me a fairy tale life,
there for my dreams were never out of reach,
I allways knew the road would be bumpy, and
the storm clouds never far ahead,
Did you not know that I don't need diamonds
and gold or a mansion by the sea, are you to 
blind to see all I wanted was your heart, You
may look at me and say she's all used up
she has nothing to give, I then challenge you
to believe I have kept one sacred thing no one 
has yet to see, I threw these things in a place,
that no one could find, a treasure worth more
than riches  ,you see it's quite simple I saved 
the best for last, something that has not been
touched,  It's my heart you see, and untill 
you break it free you'll never see the best
part of me!  The fairy tale I have hidden so well!!

The Angel of Death Called Momma Home

As the day faded away and the sun began to set my mother already knew her destiny was upon her the moon gentley rose as she cried silentley alone she looked to the east to the west the south and the north she looked up and down and all around for she knew she'd never see her children again, she planned this night to pass she prayed to our Lord loudly with passion to watch over her children and grandchildren with all the love in her heart, she prayed for forgiveness although she did the best she knew, she walked alone into her room and lay in her bed she put the gun to her temple as she still prayed, she pulled the trigger, all thats left are memories and tears we all cry, but when the sadness starts to fade we'll come to understand she fly's with wings of an angel her soul is set free she watches over us and a tear shall never again fall from her eye's she lay's in a bed of roses and she smiles upon each new day, she is home her mind no longer wonders what her future held, There is a time for every season under heaven and today THE ANGEL OF DEATH CALLED MOMMA HOME.

I Gave It All

I gave it all, I thought I did, All I had to give, 
I struggled and smiled through it all,
hiding my fear  and my tears, quiet in
my shallow place, giving you the glory 
to take, Giving you my verry soul to take,
,
Why I ponder was it not enough why,
have I given away my fate, I want to 
take it all back I do But, where  I wonder
would that leave you! Through all the tears
and my fears, You still do not see what
I have given you, Here is the person
you want me to be,  You'll never see the person
inside of me, I'll wear my mask for now
turned upside down, so you won't have to 
see the frown, I'll hide myself away in that lonely
shallow place!!!

Death Calls Me

Here I go again my mind ever so wasted
away, Ithose calls I hear are my death it appears,
They all say I have so much  to live for,
What the hell is wrong with me,
Why am I so selfish and blind to see,
I scare myself everyday closer to the end,
I pray closer for the voice who draws me in,
It's me all me I'm so confused all screwed  up,
Meds help me some but they don't change me,
I have fought death many  battles against death,
Sureley enough I'm still here,why do I live in such
misery, please take me away to a place far above,
And give me the peace i desire so much.

He Loved Me

He loved me once,Iknew he did,
He fought every fight, he meant every word,
He picked me up when I was down,
He promised to love me all the days of my life,
But I think that promise came to soon,
His heart is leaving me now, just guilt keeps him around,
I've changed so much he doesn't know me anymore,
he doesn't understand but i love him ,and want his
happiness more than mine, I pray today for him,
to find the strenght to set his self free,
and I pray that day when I fall to my knees,
Lord give me the strenght to get back up!

I Pray

I find it hard to live today, thoughts of death 
bring me so close to the edge, I pray and pray, 
I really try but, l feel no passion for life anymore, 
what will make me stop today, how will I make 
these thoughts of death go away,I know Lord.
you hear my every prayer, but, my mind is so, 
closed Lord I can't hear you, What will I do , 
as much as i pray I see no end in sight, death 
surounds me it calls my name I here it so clear, 
I know Lord in the end it's all up to me, I know you 
won't take away my free will, so I have to deal,
with this one in my heart and mind, Can  I fight, 
can I win this battle,it's a war inside of me, 
no one knows but, you Lord, I give it all to you,
and I pray again please Lord the world is to much 
for me, to much sadness and pain, I pray Lord, 
if it's okay please take me home with you,Can
I go home, if not Lord please bring my troubled 
mind and heart some peace! Lord as you know 
it's a long rough road to heaven but a short easy 
trip to hell!

Dreams

I believe in dreams, 
They bring me joy,
Dreams bring sunshine,
Dreams bring rain, 
Dreams never bring sorrow,
Dreams help me fly far above the sky,
Dreams bring me so much love,
Dreams bring me laughter,
Dreams bring me sight i've never seen,
When I awake it's my dreams that give me hope.
