Stay Strong

They break down and cry
I want us back
I want us together again
When is she coming home? 
I want to give her a kiss
They are so young how would they understand?
Please don’t wait for me don’t cry for us
For one day you will see
That you are strong you can hold on
You can do this 
I’m not saying you have to do this without me
Because I will always be there but be strong 
I know you can
 You have my blood in you
That’s more than enough to convince me 
Just keep this in your head
Stay strong
For these will be the words you need to learn to live by 
I love you

Chasing

theres this bright light 
at the end of the tunnel
its calling for me
its a faint call 
so soft i can barely hear it
but i know its good
i know it is 
so i start to run
chasing god knows what
but i know i got to chase
it feels like a soft river 
not knowing where it ends
but knowing it ends in somthing good
so i chase

Help

Born into a life of wonder and exploring Her parents she looks up to Curious mind roaring her parent adoring What she doesn’t know her faith she would soon lose Years grew old as the child grown And her father gives her these looks Her mother wonders but should have know In husband mind what cooks Mother works hard day by day Father sits and waits Father and child they play all day But by then it would be late “Daddy please don’t hurt me, get off!” Her voice yells with fright “Only one time I swear” He doesn’t really care Next morning comes she wants to die “Mommy why won’t her breath Close her eyes and you believe me” “Oh, darling why would you lie?” Believe me “why?” cries Days go one and months go by No one believe her she can’t go one She grabs her dad’s gun, she begins to cry That father trust is beyond gone She cocks the gun and holds dreams Pulls the trigger and it bring death And the heaven light beams She was raped and it ended her life Because no one listened to her Her life cut short as if by a knife This happened all the time Just listen to the cry

Running

She’s running….run faster,
Maybe he won’t catch you,
Run…I’m not going anywhere, 
Oh no he’s getting closer,
Please help! 
He has me in is arms,
Why won’t he stop?
Run…! Run..!
Why can’t I scream…?
Maybe louder maybe kicks or bites,
Nothings helping,
Run…run, 
Try to get away,
No one sees him,
No one sees it,
How?
 Why?
Running, running into the dark,
No! God no!
Maybe if I had a gun,
Yes, I’ll shoot,
Shoot, me, no him,
BANG..!
I’m dead.
……..he’s still there.

Stuck

Stuck alone in a room Yelling for freedom Living life in a tomb She needs help she is a victim A victim in life’s arm But all they do is look past her They don’t know she’s in harm They just see the smile she has everyday It’s so dark there’s no gate way She’s so alone when will they see? When will they shine the light? She wants to be free But she can’t she can’t fight Stuck alone in a room
