Rise Above Rape

Can I possibly rise,
Rise above my rape?
When all I hear are cries,
And I feel I need to escape.

My mind has resigned,
Anxiety and PTSD is all that's left,
All my feelings are confined,
Its like I've been a victim of theft.

Theft that robbed my life,
And did so by surprise,
Always on guard,
It's now time to let go.

To let go of the hate,
And to let go of the guilt,
So I'm starting with a new plate,
Like a patchwork quilt.

To bring back hope,
And to alleviate pain,
So I don't focus on the slope,
Just focus on my campaign.

My life is not what it used to be,
It somehow opened a gate,
And I can at last say I'm free,
Free to be able to rise above rape.

Why Do I Love Thee?

Why do I love thee? 
You asked unto me, 
I love thee, 
Because of those eyes, 
You’ve shown me, 
To open my heart,   
To let love in, 
And to feel, 
The passion that you have, 
For me in those eyes, 
Gazed upon me, 
With the yearning, 
In my heart, 
Of lust and desire, 
Of hunger and excitement, 
Of heat and emotion, 
This is why, 
Why I do love thee.

Way Back Home

I've been trying to find my way,
way back home,
when you walk along,
this long dark road,
and no one is there,
to help carry the load,
you wonder why,
and start to cry,
as the pain inside,
decides to subside,
when life comes fast
and you choose a path,
you find in time,
that the path you choose,
will make you lose,
lose your place that,
you call home,
and think,
all I want to do, 
is just go home.

Calling On My Angel

I call upon my angel tonight,
To help my grandfather,
With his fight,
Angel please hear my plea,
And be his ray of light,
He needs you now,
So much more then I,
Give him your embrace,
It’s hard for him,
In this place,
Angel of mine,
Help him find grace,
Bring him strength,
And take his anguish,
For this tonight,
I call upon my angel.

Hands

I know in my heart,
The difference between,
What’s wrong and what’s right,
But it doesn’t stop the fight,
When I see in my dreams,
What I’m looking for,
I’m willing to go,
And fight that fight,
To find what it is,
That my heart desires,
My dreams are far and few,
But when I do,
They are always,
Of you,
I want to help you,
Overcome the pain,
Help you to understand,
The touch you’ve,
Brought to my hand,
The moment of which,
You brought hope,
To my life,
And helped me,
To understand,
What comes and goes,
From either hands!

My Heart Is With You,

Wherever you may go,
My heart is with you,
And although I may,
Not be standing aside,
My heart is with you,
When times get rough,
And the road is long enough,
Always remember,
My heart is with you,
I love you,
And always will
My love comes from my heart,
So forever and always,
My heart is with you.

Unknown

Unknown

everyday we walk,
into the unknown,
walking through life,
with a lot of worries.

fear of what,
might come our way,
afraid of not being safe,
on that rainy day.

life comes fast,
and you want to last,
even escape from your past,
and you might have, 
reached an impasse.

so every day
we walk through life,
afraid of what is to come,
and afraid of the unknown.

Candlelight

Your love is like,
The candlelight at night,
When you are near,
The light is clear,
It helps me through,
My time of blue,
When I am lost,
You help me across,
The dark cold frost,
To find my way,
And help me brake away,
From the pain that I feel,
And to help me heal,
Cause the pain was real,
And it did conceal,
But now I can feel,
The warmth you hold dear,
And give it to me,
When it is severe,
So I took it then,
And I’ll use it again,
To help me maintain,
This life you’ve sustain,
For me and you!

Road of Life

The road of life,
Is long and hard,
Especially when there is,
No one there to help you,
Through it,
When I’m with you,
I’ll help you when you need it,
The road my be long and narrow,
Or short and wide,
But no matter the size,
Ill be there to guide,
As long as you need me,
I’m with you,
Until the end,
And on that road,
Of life,
We’ll be together.

Given

In this life we are given,
One chance to do what’s right,
To find what is ours and,
Our place in this big world,
We must search for,
Our friends,
Our family,
The one who will love us,
Unconditionally,
Plan for things,
And enjoy the unexpected plans,
That god gives us,
Live the life that is planned for us,
With no expectations from anyone,
Don’t take too much,
And give a lot,
And go on living the life that was given to us.
