I Just Want Someone To Hold Me

i just want someone to hold me
someone to tell me "it's okay"
a hand to stoke my hair and to 
touch my face, wipe my tears

i just want someone to hold me
someone who won't say "bad"
or "why did you do that?"
a soft lap, a warm body

i just want someone to hold me
tell me i'm special
that no one can hurt me
there is no one like me

i just want someone to hold me
to rock me in a gentle rhythm
sing of flowers and butterflies
show me how beautiful life can be

when it hurts so much to 
be afraid of living

when sadness takes over
and all is gray

when i am so lonely
it is nothing

i just want someone 
out there 
every once in a while
to hold me

Original Blood

it has often been said
blood is thicker than water
meaning
your blood born relates
are what counts
they are stuck with you

not in this day and age
at least not always

and yet,
aren't we all related by blood
sharing the original blood
of the earth

how have we lost the way of life
in which all things are a part

help me out here
what has happened

You

no one can take you away from you
you are the most important one in your universe
without you, there is nothing
you are exquisite beyond belief
unique with a style all your own
i love you now
you are stronger than you have been acting
stop playing the victim
you have got your *****together
you work hard
you play hard
you think
you care
you are responsible
you are beautiful
you are worth more than all the money in the world
no one can take your place
i understand you
you are perfect
listen to these words
believe in yourself
believe in your worth
your opinions are real and important
your opinions are good
and quite often right
you are no one's slave
you own yourself
i like you
keep growing
i know it hasn't been easy
as you understand it will get easier
forever i will love you
your heart is true
your intentions are pure

Longing To Know the Shining Stars of Life

Sequestered secret
Timidly testing
Ambitious actions
Infinite immortals
Regal royals
Wishful wonder
Anxious ardor
Youthful you

Time to
Open oracles

That test
Hopeful humanity
Eternally eager

So strength
Tries the
Ardent admiring
Rebels wresting
Shining stars

I Am Alone

i am alone
where are you
who holds you
am i really here
i am not
life hurts
not for me
it is to easy
until
i listen to...
i can't help anyone
i am alone
no one can help me
i am okay
always i am okay
it is too easy
until i listen to the...
can i help
no

Are You Alive

born was i
once
into a home that was lost
emptiness filled the void
where no one knew how to dance
food water shelter
that was all that was given
under the pretense of "love"
gone was the man to work...to drink
gone was the woman in her mind
gone was the boy in his own pity
someone said
i was "the apple of..." someone's eye
does that have meaning
was i to be consumed as an apple is eaten
food for eyes
explain man called dad
you know me not
woman called mother: guilt is her name
you taught me how to get beaten 
and take it well
you taught me how to be a good girl
a slave
you taught me how to obey

do you hate that i think
is that why you never talked to me
is it the questions i ask
does my existence bother you
why

are you alive

I Am Okay

i am full
i am empty
i am the one to take it
i am the one who doesn't hurt
i will take it
i am happy
i am free
no one can touch me
no one can make me fall
i may stumble
but i will not be the one who 
thinks there is a reason
to...

me

it hurts so much
i can't always make it
go away
can you help me
make it okay
can you make the pain 
go away
i am empty
i am alone
no one picks me up
because...

i am okay
don't worry about me
i'll always be okay

If There Was a God

if there was a god
i would talk to it every day
i would have so many questions
i would lie in arms so tender
i would cry and be comforted
i would ask for help and it would come
i would ask for help for others and it would come
i would ask for reason
i would know more
i would know why

i would be told
i would not be free
i would not be just myself
i would never be alone
i would not learn myself

sometimes i want god
most times i just want me

You Are Worth the World

your mind alight with curiosity
you will have all your dreams
you are starting your life now with you in the lead
never let someone else lead you again
listen to what they have to say
learn
process
move
you are going to be magnificent
they will all be astounded
you will be content
the earth is your playground
enjoy living
take charge of how you live
take care of yourself
take care of yourself
take care of yourself
take care of yourself
you are worth it
you are worth the world
believe in yourself
you are the best
i love you

Dance Is a Dream

if i really believed i could help
i would try
caring is dark...it hurts
shut it down...feel in the moment
or shut it down
there is no end to pain so
"Dig it or die"  HA!
refuse to let the emptiness rule me
live in it moment to painful moment

so...i laugh
so...i play
what else is there

if you think you can answer my questions
for me
i HA! in your face
i can only be shown to new ways to 
answer myself
i color the emptiness with astounding
beauty
end there

dance is a dream
dream is a shadow
shadow is no choice
