This Is Me Letting Go

i've got to find a way to take my mind off her
a way to forget what we once were
a way to move on, to let go, once more
i've got to find my way out the door

the one thing i cant stand; to see you lie
one thing you cant resist and i dont know why
one thing that could tear us apart
i give you the key; still you rip out my heart

i try to live life, be happy, and have fun
but lately, of the three, i have none
i'm not saying that i blame you...
but i wish you had told me you were only passing through

i dont know what else to say...its done and over
i dont know maybe i got a defective clover
or maybe my luck has just run out, who knows
i'm just going to shut my eyes as we draw to a close

i had a good time. i lived and i learned
that some things are given... but the best things are earned
im starting to believe that all that was true
...was the love i still have for you and only you.

i just wanted you to know
...this is me letting go

Letter To My Brother

a letter to my brother
of whom I hold dear
he's accross the ocean
so far from here

he fights in a war
of which is not his own
many stand beside him
he is not alone

I pray he makes it home
to his family and friends
I pray the war ends
and U.S. and iraq make amends

I miss my brother like no other
but i am proud of where he stands
his endurance to take the pain
his courage to unite foreign hands

brother I'll be here when you get home
I'll be the first to thank you for all you've done
for I am proud to be your brother
you stand and fight when all others would run

you have a strong heart, mind, and soul
so i know the devil wont try to take any brother of mine
I know you will all come home safe
I know everything will be just fine

but there are some things I think you should know
some things I have probably  said before
but I dont think it will hurt
to tell you once more

I love you for who you are and for what you do
...I miss my brother and best friend
but no matter what happens
I promise i'll see you again in the end

to my brother and his brothers in arms- be safe.

A Ghost In the Night

There is this girl
she resides in my dreams
she is quite young
eight or nine it seems

i know not where she is from
nor why she appears
I know not what she wants
or why she is here

she scares me immensely 
for her face is scarred and twisted
she sits in the corner
wanting what? I must of missed it

she wears a little white dress
frilly and pressed
with long dark hair
messy and stressed

I sit frozen in horror
as she sobs in the corner
blood stained tears drop to the floor
i want to bolt for the door, I can't take anymore

I can not help.
I know not what to do
I sit frozen in shock 
right next to you

Our eyes meet, yours is a glare
I dare not move,for I am regretfully aware
she's just cold and lonely, a ghost in the night
wanting assurance, Everything will be alright






This is the first time I've written anything in a couple years. I love this site and the people that visit it. just wanted to do a little something with the upcoming holloween/day of the dead vibe to let everyone know I am in fact still here. this is something ive honestly dealt with and have had several nightmares about. Creepy stuff. Hope you enjoy!

Finding Your Way

the days are long
but life is short
got your priorities together
just need to sift and sort

its not always easy
to get through the day
just when u think you cant
you will find a way

life is full of strife
it may not always be fair
when your load is heavy
and no one wants to share

you continue to push on
not even knowing why
hoping tommorrow will be better
worth the tears you have cried

you have tried and tried
and still give it your all
gave it your best 
and yet its still you that will fall

sometimes you need a hand
or just a better card
to get you through the days
when things get hard

sometimes its hard to find the strength
looking for an easy way out
you carry on knowing
there is no easy route

you do what you have to do
crying inside day after day
the world sees you standing strong
not knowing you feel this way

you would do anything you could
at the drop of a dime
trying to please the world
one at a time

just dont forget to take care of you
dont let the weight become to much
dont forget your friends
when youre in need of a crutch

there will always be someone
you dont have to do it alone
just reach out for a hand
let your feelings be known

its not always easy
to get through the day
just when u think you cant
you will find your way

Do You Feel the Same?

In a world so diverse
Love is but a curse
Ours is one to cherish
Very likely to one day perish
Even though it is very strong
Youth these days dont last too long
Over time lust will fade
Uncovering feelings hidden in the shade
So tell me now this is real
Or tell me how you truely feel
Tell me what u want to say
Each and every single day
Love me, for who i am
Let me know you give a dam
More and more i fall for you
Every word i say is true
Dont let me down, dont let me fall
Over the ledge, into the wall
You put me to the test
Openly, i'll admit, you're the best
Under pressure most will flee
Forget that you're stuck with me
Every day i'll hold you tight
Even in the depths of night
Longing to feel your touch
Telling you i love you so so much
Hoping that you feel the same
Easy to lie, but such a shame
So honest and true
Admit that you love me too
Maybe yes maybe no, but its not a game
Everyday i love you, so tell me, do you feel the same?
?

the first letter in each line= the last line?

On the Wings of Love

always feel like im falling 
scared to hit the ground
afraid i'll wake up
and u wont be around

feeling like superman
complex and immune
to all lifes carnage
trying to bring me down too soon

the way you make me feel
i cant even explain
like a little school boy
playing in the rain

you are my kryptonite
you, and you alone
lost forever without you
as if i was never known

i can go a day
without hearing your voice
i hear your thoughts in my head
as if i had a choice

you are my other half
you make me complete
you have succeded
where many others met defeat

i may not be perfect
well not even close
but if love was my poison
you would be my overdose

at the gates to heaven
people push and shove
i soar right over them
on the wings of love

i thank God personally
"what did i do?"
he sent me an angel
and i fell in love with you

Self Labeled Pothead

Self labeled Pothead

Sittin on the curb 
smoking my herb
A menace to society
a deviant to the propriety

sittin calm cool n collected
while my car is illegally inspected
if found, as little as a seed
I get hit with possession of weed

I could do more time
For possession of a dime
Than someone caught on tape
And convicted of rape

A world of injustices and im caught in between
Cant toke my pipe in fear of being seen
Who has the right to choose for me
Im gonna smoke my herb! just let me be

We are no longer a minority
Infact we may have majority
So let it be known
Theres nothing like home grown

You too have a choice
Let the world hear your voice
I will continue to hit this joint
Just to prove my point!

Sinner In My Eyes (Editted)

you're heartless... a cold hearted "witch"
you're a hex on me from the wicked, wicked witch
you're selfish...wanting what’s best for you
there's evil... a devil in you too

you're an angel; a demon in disguise
a saint; a sinner in my eyes
you're two faced, I see them both clear
you're lying… like I’m not standing right here

I ask myself... why I let me fall
like a rollercoaster ride
its over, you ask, is that all?
thanks to you... I’m dying inside

you're so shady...let me shed some light
it’s your fault... every single fight
your games are... so cussing cruel
you played me... I was the fool

you're laughing, while I am on my knees
inside, I’m waiting for your pleads
so I can knock that... grin from your face
and leave you... sitting in my place

you're heartless... a cold hearted "witch"
you're a hex on me from the wicked, wicked witch
you're selfish...wanting what’s best for you
there's evil... a devil in you too

you're an angel; a demon in disguise
a saint; a sinner in my eyes
you're two faced, I see them both clear
you're lying, like I’m not standing right here

you're gone now, so far from here
you'll never see me cry, I'll never shed a tear
you're a memory, an echo from the past
a lesson well learned, but it wont be the last

you were everything I want, but nothing like I thought
you can lie to the next guy, but this time you're caught
it didn’t last long...we had a good run
but I'll never forget... the things that you have done

you're heartless... a cold hearted "witch"
you're a hex on me from the wicked, wicked witch
you're selfish...wanting what’s best for you
there's evil... a devil in you too

you're an angel; a demon in disguise
a saint; a sinner in my eyes
you're two faced, I see them both clear
you're lying, like I’m not standing right here

you're heartless... a cold hearted "witch"
you're a hex on me from the wicked, wicked witch
you're selfish...wanting what’s best for you
there's evil... a devil in you too....you're heartless........

A Schizophrenic Romance

she lied to you... like I didn't know
don't fight it, oh no no no
she let you down... i love her though 
she's my world...you can let her go

ya... i know... you know it all,
but its not that easy not to call
...oh no im not takin this fall
if you want to crash...then there's the wall

you can count me out on this one pal
we shall see... oh yes we shall
I'm the ref here... thats a personal foul!
you can't win... just throw in the towel

i tried...the pain will subside.
i dont think it will, atleast i have you to confide
you will live, now just obide
sit back in your seat and enjoy the ride

but i can't see her with another guy
...well then i suggest you don't try
...ya i can't handle another lie
well then its settled, it's mutual...good-bye

My Everything

I'm on the edge of my seat
with one foot out the door
leaving everything behind
as i look back once more...

I see my entire life...
and everything it could be
I see my everything
falling away from me

everything I want 
is hidden within your eyes
to live life with you
is worth a million tries

to see you smile just once
is my goal of the day
to live, to laugh, to love
in the most simple way

I look into the past expecting only darkness
yet to my surprise I see a flame burning strong
I sit back in my seat and start to think...
maybe... wow... just maybe... I was wrong.

our eyes may be an illusion
but a heart never lies
the day we met...
even the angels cried

as we played in their tears 
I fell head over heels
as I thought to myself...
this is how true love feels

with one foot out the door
I look back once more...
all I see is you... my everything.
