Escape







Not young anymore, know I've gotten old,
Got wrinkles on my face as well as my soul,
One of these days I'll be lyin with the crows,
Until then I'll be dodgin the blows,
Going out of my mind and who knows,
Maybe I'll wake and forget all those lies I've been told, 
Maybe I'll find someone to have and to hold,
Break through the chains that are choking me slow,
Crawl through the layers of smoke they blow,
Wish I could shed the skin of the memories I know, 
Release the poison that mixes with the blood in my veins as it flows ,
Find a way out of this prison of life that I chose,
Change the ending before it comes to a close,
Might find the real me or drown in this anxiety who knows.

Shiney Covers, Worn Pages

A silent cry never heard, a tear shed without a single word, You'll only see her smile.
 A fragile heart filled with scars, bruised and beaten and Simply marred. You'll only see her smile.
 Shadows and nightmares consume her thoughts, the demons prey her soul is lost. You'll only see her smile.
 Stitched together with Lies and sweet words, a silvertongued devil to try and sooth the burns. You'll only see her smile.
 Behind the color of her eyes lies the inner pain disguised, bury the hurt deep inside. You'll only see her smile.
 Only bent but never broken, softer words never spoken. You'll only see her smile.

Letting Go

I don't know why I feel so strange, so tired, so clouded am I going insane?
Then I find you, the kernel inside, the drive that keeps me going through the rest of my life, the growing joy, the best part of my life.
I see you growing, I see you moving inside, the little hand floating from side to side, letting me know you're little heart's beating as strong as mine, I'm bursting with pride.
Oh no it's early! Babygirl,  it's not yet your time, I'm scared, I'm nervous, I'm starting to cry.
What's happening? You're blue, you're not moving, you're not even cryin. 
I can't see you..... they rushed you outside. I'm not even sure if you're even alive..... I'm waiting.... You're breathin...
Just as I let out that relieful sigh....
Then in a blink of eye I'm sending you off to school and saying our first real long day goodbye.
It scares me. I pick you up you're laughing, I'm crying you learned so much, made so many friends,said " look mommy I got this gold star today just for trying."
I'm not gonna lie, I sat in my room that first night and cried, my baby was now a big girl out to reach for the sky. 
I turned around and now today is our last 1st long day goodbye. For today you finish the journey we started. All those days have flown right by. 
You get that diploma, you walk out of your child like life, and walk right into your womanly pride! 
I couldn't be prouder. I know you will make a wonderful life. You are strong, beautiful, confident, a warrior, truly one of a kind.
Don't worry Mommy will always be here, there is nothing to fear. Enjoy the journey, enjoy the ride, hold your head up beautiful girl you earned that gold star now the world gets to see you shine! 

Love , Mommy

Broken

Love is pain in her eyes, there is only secrets, betrayals and lies. 
Open up her heart just to watch it bleed is there anyway for this pain to be freed? 
A razor tongue rips through to the soul, rips so deep there is no room for hope to grow. 
Damaged girl with a broken heart, a damaged soul ripped apart. 
Can you hear her silent cries, can you hear the last beat of a heart before it dies? 
Can you see her or is she gone, pain consumed her it didn't take long.
Will you miss her did you even see her or was she just another face to blur.....?
