As I Walk

As I walk through the darkness
Of this dark forbidden death planet
I shall fear what comes my way
Can’t trust a damn thing
All I can do is turn and run
To try and out run
to try and hide from the misery
That comes with this damned thing called life.
This hell of mine that is shared with others
Others who don’t know my pain enough
No matter how hard I try to explain
They shut me away and banish me
Like some kind of evil creature
shun me like I was a worthless bum
Or some diseased hurt creature
People wonder why people commit suicide
why there is so much pain and misery that comes with this planet
People… humans are what causes this hell on earth
the pain and misery of this death planet
Dear Lord, just take me away
What have I done wrong to deserve to be here.

Stalk You

I’m gonna stalk you

Follow you around

And harass you

I’m gonna

Show up at your house

I’m gonna

Show up at your place of work

I can’t seem to get my mind

Off of you and your personality

I can’t seem to turn the other way

I want to love you

I want to hold you

I will make you mine

I won’t leave you alone

Until you are mine

Pulling

My mind wanders
It wants my legs
To get up and run
Runaway from it all
Can’t handle all this negativity
My heart wants to stay
Wants to feel him next to me
I want him to show me love
Show me he really does care
Feeling like my mind and heart
May pull me apart
I break down and cry
I slowly die inside

I Never Thought God Existed

I never Really thought god existed
I always thought he was man made
A figment of our imaginations
An imaginary friend who we can trust
Who we can pray to for support and guidance
I never really thought god existed
For I thought if he did he wouldn’t
Let these bad things happen to us
Especially on that September day
When we lost something so precious
I’ve come to realize when we loose something
We don’t loose it all
We only loose a part of it
I never really thought god existed
Until I prayed for a friend
Only then did I realize he does exist
Because he gave me you
A friend who cares
A friend who I can laugh and cry with
A friend who likes to tease me about things.
One who don’t judge me

Snow Drifts

Nine AM on a Saturday
Snow drifted to the ground
Making a white blanket
For the kids to play
The snow drifts ever so slowly
Wishing the kids would come out
Children’s laughter is so calming
They handle the cold ever so boldly
They crawl out of bed
Dressing warm and eating breakfast
The run out side pulling their sled
Laughing and screaming
Slipping and sliding
As they make their way up the hill
At the top they find a dollar bill
They made a snowman
Then slide back down
As the snow drifts came down faster
Flurries whipped past the snowman
The kids couldn’t believe their eyes
For they thought they saw him shiver
They didn’t tell anyone
Because adults don’t like lies
