In Here

Hello, I’m in here
You talk above me, as you 
call me dear
I may be trapped in this 
decaying shell
But I am in here midst my 
own private hell
You talk to your coworkers 
of family and friends
While you bathe me and 
dress me the message you 
send
Is that you really don’t 
care who lies here, who I 
am
You just want your work 
finished , you don’t give a 
damn
I once was important just 
like you are
To family and friends  I’d 
travel so far
To comfort in death or 
share in their joy
So to you and your friends 
I must employ
As I lie here immobile, 
helpless, diseased
Talk to me anyway, I beg 
you oh please
I need to know that I still 
exist
I may not respond but 
please do persist
I’m in here

Alone

Anybody there?
Lost within my mind
Only one inside
No one cares to know
Endless rejection shown

Bullies

Before you cast your bitter 
slurs 
Understand that mind of hers
Long before you came along
Lies pain, rejection, already 
wronged 
Inside her mind she cannot 
hide
Every hurt anew, 
relived,revived 
Stop now or risk her suicide

Oliver Smart Goes To the Olympics

Oliver Smart so full of 
pride
Loved to toboggan, on his 
bum he did slide
Yippee he would yell as he 
conquered the hill
Maybe I’ll go to Vancouver, 
compete, what a thrill
Pictures of gold medals in 
his head did deluge
Instead to find out that his 
sport was the luge   
Crazy canucks he 
exclaimed with a shout
Sorry boys but this Oliver’s 
out

Mother-In-Law

Mother in law so full of hate
Objected to her son’s true mate
Though unjustified in her decision
Her hatred for her so blurred her vision
Everything the girl did or said
Repulsed her and she turned her head

Instead she missed a one true friend
Never to know what could of been

Let it be a lesson for some
Always get to know the wife of your son
Whereof you may have none

Willow

Oh willow tree

you'll not fool me

your happier than most

I watch you sway with 
such delight                                    

you mere can keep from 
boast

I see no weeping                                                                         
                
no woes worth keeping

and yet in form you droop

know this dear tree

you'll not fool me

as I rest upon your stoop

I'll collect my nuts

I'll carve my cuts

Into your nimble limbs  

then you shall see
 
Why willows weep

as me and mine shall keep

a home sweet home 

forever loaned

Inside of you so deep

Wait

Wait! Where are you going?

Why can't I come?

If you leave me now I'll do 
something dumb

I really don't mean to be such a 
grouch

But if need be I'll rip up the 
couch

You better listen I'm not fooling 
around

Unless you want toilet paper all 
over the ground

To go with that paper you know 
what I'll do?

You guessed it mister, I'll even 
leave poo

I'll get in the garbage, I'll tear 
it all up

I'm not going to take it, oh no 
not this pup

I'll bark and I'll bark and make 
such a noise

An incredible racket that no one 
enjoys

So really you see you don't 
have a choice

In my world honey, you don't 
have a voice

I am the master and always will 
be

so go get my ball, you're taking 
me

Sleep

How hard it is to smile and 
pretend 
everything is just right.
Do they see through me?
Do they know my secret?
Smile, laugh, act 
accordingly.
Everyone knows what i am 
they sneer behind my back 
but smile to my face.
I can’t move in regret, 
disgust, vulgarity.
Why do I have to be with 
people?
to earn a living? 
I don’t want live.  
My mind races with bad 
thoughts of myself, 
repeating to me I am bad, 
not right, sick.
I believe this and  know it 
to be true.
Why did God want us to be 
subjected to all this cruelty 
when heaven is just a 
sleep away?
Is it all just a test to which 
I am failing?
Back to smiling.

Abused

Another day left out in the 
bitter cold

Beaten and starving, he 
does what he's told

Used and abused for one’s 
own  content

Save me he cries, from his 
chains no relent

Endless people stroll 
by,they pretend not to see

Death is the only hope for 
a dog named Brandy
