My Brother

In life your my first best friend, the big brother many wish they had, when I felt empty you never let me stay sad. You was always there to catch me at my fall, the best big brother of all, when I was younger an felt scared or had a bad dream you would always wake to my very first scream, when I couldn’t fall asleep at night you’d always check in on me, your the best big brother you see? I never had to worry about who’d I’d call if things went wrong, one dial out an you were right there, as your little sister I’m grateful for all your care, growing up we had some rough patches we had to face, but I knew I always had you to help figure it out, an always believed you were right without a doubt, you protected me as a brother should, an every obstacle you did what you could.  Now we’re adults an your still the overprotective brother, I laugh at it all the time when talking to our mother, I’m beyond blessed to have you in my life, an thank you for everything you have done your the best big brother your truly number one.

The Other Path

A little broken, a little fixed, my devilish ways has me mixed, came from a broken home parents split apart, us kids just stuck with a broken heart. Steadily move from place to place, can’t keep friends an stay somewhere long enough to find real, ask god many times what is the deal, my emotions rumble of all that I feel watch my parents pop pill after pill, crack pipes an bottles found all threw the house left in sight, why is this my battle I didn’t ask to fight? Broken as a small child, but as adult I refuse the wild, changed the repeat of how I grew up no cycle here to stay, I choose better life an by the right way. My darkened shadow of my past taught me many things the true life lessons of all that it brings, I use all the hardship to create myself better, can’t be my parents with only communication is a letter. I’ll be all that I ever dreamed about, laugh at you ones that only gave me doubt, free land of adult hood a fresh new start, watch my outcome as I divide far apart.

Cancer Loss

When looking up I only think of you an missing you never stops, I wish that goodbye never had to exist, an I miss your last forehead kiss, I wish that cancer wasn’t a disease, if that was the case I’d beg god to take it all away please, cancer is a silent death within the body but see it kill you from inside out, why cancer why is this what your about? I hate the suffer it had caused you, an getting the call was what I never wanted to hear, cancer took you an my mind wasn’t clear, I’ll never be the same with out you by my side, an planning the day of our last goodbyes killed me inside, I could of ran the waterfall as much as I cried, I miss your presence an having you around, an hate that now your 6ft down, memories carry you with me, but one wish an you is all I’d ask to see, I miss you more than words could ever tell, an your the one person I never want to fail, I hope your watching down on me proud, I hope the angels help you cheer me on loud, I hope you know you have shaped me into many things that I am, an I miss you always being my number one fan, I hope heaven is treating you right, I hope you hear my prayers at night, I hope your down here a time or two being my guardian angel an leading me right, you keep me going to following the tunnel threw with the light!

My Turn

So he took advantage of what he thought was weak, but now here in the court room I’ll be the one to speak,  did you think I’d never tell of what you really did? Why did you do it? I was just a kid. I ask why you felt it was ok to do all those things, an I felt hopeless an weak in the time, but guess what now your stuck with this crime. Your abuse an manipulation ends here, I won’t keep going on in the fear, I’ll never understand why it was me, but at-least there won’t be others as you won’t be free. You had me fooled In being a friend but your trauma is what I got in the end, you only won what wasn’t for long, I’m not something of yours to belong, you took advantage of my kindness an I did let guard down in sight of blindness, now I ask why is this you put me threw? One turn to your back an it happen like that, so fast, so blurry, try to blind it all out of sight your strength over took me an I couldn’t even fight. I’ll win the battle of this eventually an I’ll smile while your in the penitentiary. You will have to face yourself of your own guilt of what you did an why you thought it was ok, replay to yourself no was all that I could say, you made me feel broken an lost, but now your going to hold the consequences at all cost. I can fiannly stand up for myself here in court an speak truth of what happen, an as they lock you up I’ll be the one clapping. I’ll find justice for myself as this ends hope you ask for forgiveness when you talk to god on all your amends.

Shattered Glass

When I see shattered glass I think of myself, how easy it was broken in pieces an never glued back together, my hollowness will last forever, I feel like all those sharp glass ends, emptiness i feel even in a crowded room with friends, feeling like I’m broken an never fixable, my life picking all the irresistible, I choose to pick all of the bad habit I attend to feed, my dangerous love who is to lead? I’m shattered, I’m broken, I’m easy to throw away, why do you even waste your breath on what you need to say? I’m sharp around my edges an cut super deep, my demons come to play as I lay to go to sleep, my mind racing fast speed in my head, the over play of life it’s what’s ahead, I feel constantly the feel of disconsolate, I bring out the definition of what it feels like to hate, when I finally meet the one I thought would be forever I felt kismet, but really I was just the misfit, I can’t be cured from the sickness I’ve endured, why waist time on someone like me? My broken mess can’t keep you infatuated, don’t you see I’m so complicated! I’m everything of what’s waisted time, so don’t let me be the reason for your heart to claim crime, I’m not just the easy clean up mess, I’m all over the place in a million pieces don’t let me be the reason for all yours to stress. I can’t keep holding back the ones I love the most, let me go in silence, I’ll fade like a ghost, so my pain I endure I won’t keep you as my host.

The Hardship of Break

That Mary go round that don’t ever stop, watch the clock tick, your mind the only one playing the trick, battle with something new daily, live by faith but drowned in your own water, pray up above to my one an only father, lost by what only I created, memories of good time now is pictures over faded, cross my own path that I said I’d never take, living life on the line of what’s true fate, sitting in the middle of this unstoppable go round, let all outside bull left unfound,  the broken pieces I lost in this life can’t come back to with stand me, the hate the love I let it all be, that feeling of stress that hits really hard, is only part of life’s lessons playing card after card, straight maxed out over an over, watched loved ones be addicts an changed to sober, taught many lessons the hard way, so now watch the things that I say, now discipline myself to the facts that I know, watch my pride continuously grow, mistakes made me strong where I was weak, now I sit my seat real nice an neat, i let my fails be my lessons, an always thank above for my blessings, kicked down many times from many that said they’d never kick while I’m down, that’s where in life I learned where friendship was found, I can’t reminisce on all that left me lost, the value now stands any cost, broken, shattered, the lost of the mix, call it what you want but this isn’t your fix, now here I’ll stand mind over matter an win at my own play, overcome all obstacles that were sent my way.

The Mess

The break, the broke, the all unfixed, the reckless, the hopeless, the demons stand play, restless nights an it’s just another day! The stress overbearing with dreams at all cost, feel hopeless an at a stand still lost, mind games, people fake, the fumes of life i over take. The burning bridges id say I could never cross always finds its way to clear path, calculations of my life looking like algebra math, life’s game gets me each an every time, I manipulate myself to say it’s all fine, I pray, I kneel, I give it all to god, but why the devil still plays he gets me at all odds, mistakes made daily cause I like to choose hard ways, the demons stand over us cause they believe we’re it’s preys, lies spoken to not hurt feelings, babies an kids in foster but the government living on billions, heart ache is real an hurts like hell, reach the top of the stars but the I love you was just tails, real is rare, life is unfair, not many will truly care, this life is ruthless an truth is what I’ll share.

The Unnoticed Life

When you hit the stage in your life, where you feel like your major disappointed in each step you take, walk with a smile but others don’t see it’s just fake. Each pattern fit a little differently, time passes distantly, a creation of our own life we have to create, try to pick new paths so bad times don’t rotate, shattered dreams of what once held place, now vision blurred as if dreams didn’t stand a real case. Disappointed only at myself for mistakes made, circle spinning but emptiness still holding the trade, infatuated by guilty thoughts, the bad holds me captured in tied to unwinding knots, the guilt that captures me in my own self conscious, I pretend to be coherent to all around, this hollowness is true to what I have found, the trick life plays at every occasion, wish I could figure out this life’s equation, disappointment in which direction I’m headed bad dreams of all I’ve imbedded, wishful thinking I keep to myself, hopeful of all the unfelt, But sadly this is the life an the cards I’ve been dealt, the depression hits real daily, in my own mind going crazy, this life tangles me up who is to save me? Is disappointed all I really am I ask myself over an over like I’m on repeat, life seems so broken with each step right in front of my feet.

Ahead of Me

This life of mine is a spinning roll cage, nothing changing but the timing of age. Everyday is the same routine, feeling like a video on steady rewind, I try to fast forward but this life wins my mind. I ask god for change, a new face or two, but friendship out here is rare to be true. Life holds the same battle, kicked down, picked up, it just keeps on with the rattle. I can’t see my future when I can’t get out my past, this reminiscing how much more can it last? I won’t know what the BIG worlds about when small town is all I’ve ever known, I question my ability to what I’ll do when I’m grown. I seek to god to guide me in every right path, walk me slowly step by step, let my vision be clear to what’s ahead, I’m living this life as to the Bible rules of what I have read.
