An Evil Storm

my thoughts are like dark evil storm clouds
transmitting evil energy throughout my body
longing to hide eternally from the truth
sometimes,though, i kid myself that your lies are only stories made for my entertainment
oh, and entertain you do
with your detrimental and active imagination!
i sit here and try to actually think of you in a good light.....
like when i told you that you should be in politics-
it's a shame to waste your oh so detailed stories on someone unimportant like me
you could probably be famous
just think-you could fabricate such untrue, yet intricate tales to cause destruction on a such a larger wordly scale
and yes, you are so multi-talented
you are a storyteller, articulate speaker, magician, pharmaceutical representative, and most of all-master manipulator
so now, i will toast to you
because you win your game again
i will even give you an award for trying so hard
trying so hard to destroy me
but most of all, i thank you-
for being strong enough to tell you goodbye.

Mind Tricks

Tricks of my mind...
More intricate than a spider's web. 
Consume me,  use me,  then leave me to wonder-
When will I be me?
The person I was meant to be... 
No medicine can set me free, 
Free of chains that bind, 
And fractured psyche left to find. 
No one hears my cry from deep within, 
So I shut them all out again and again.
Nevertheless, they return in force, 
My soul screaming from every available source. 
I beg just for my heart to go numb, 
And to my worst intentions I may succumb. 
Torture me no more,  I beg of you, 
Unless you yearn for venom my heart will spew. 
They call me "borderline " and check the box,
Not knowing how many times I hit the rocks. 
Up today,  down tomorrow, dead on Wednesday. 
Wasn't she such a pretty girl they all will say. 
Maybe pretty,  yet hard to understand.
Why did no one lend a hand?
It didn't have to happen they all are quick to say. 
Yet no one gave her a reason that she should really stay. 
Now she's gone, and nothing can be done. 
Would it have been so hard to take her gun?
Not a gun made of steel, 
Only the deathwish you all made her feel. 
You could have reached out. 
You could have acted out. 
You should have spoken out.

Cuz I'M Missing You

I really need my boys to be near
It's not me; it's grandfather they should fear.
Forever together, we should never part,
There's a huge part of me missing; like half of my heart.
Tried hard as I could to be the great mom,
But officer in black dropped a huge bomb.
He ripped him from me like a child from womb,
As my parents next expect to see my tomb.
Yet I shall not give up or give in;
I live my life with love, not sin.
I will regain my boys-quit playing, they're not toys!
I just love them too much,
When u look in my eyes, you see just such.

Why I Am

i am me
i am mother,daughter,lover                                                                                             but i want to tell you why
why i am this way

i was a lost little girl wanting 
i was a scared litle girl crying
a question mark upon my chest
always wondering why

where did you go
why did you leave
have you never loved
do you know how to stay

safety and security only a fleeting fantasy

Red Wine

take a drink
and watch me begin to think
you never gave a second thought
to all the torment you brought about

you never cared
even when my soul was bared
you came to me and brought confusion
then you left and demanded dissolution

now my gentle side is not so fragile and pure
for my internal injuries there is no cure
were we too young or just naive?
no chance for an answer, you're ready to leave

i wanna talk but you say no
you don't love me, you have to go
you won't go to the counselor to talk
when you don't care its easier to walk

you don't care about the child or the bills in the mail
don't worry bout the mortgage, you just bail
please when you leave take all of the reminders
of the love and life i lived with blinders


my psyche is damaged
my heart is torn
my confidence is shattered
and you aren't here to pick up the pieces

Harmony

peace in nature
war in mankind
can i ever be assured
a melancholy world?
loving one another
every brother and sister
security and safety for every innocent child
give love and understanding with punishment mild

destruction and hate no longer exist
give respect to friends and family that are now sadly missed
honor your family, and your elders too
give help to those in need, and it will return back to you

spread hope and love regardless to whom
turn around your direction and head north from doom
take care of the world, and also your mind
and then in return,eternity shall be kind

Intoxication

i take too many pills,
and i do too many drugs.
i drink to oblivion
live for today, and not worry about tomorrow

i don't get along with my mother
i disappointed daddy
i'm the blackest sheep in the flock
im expected to screw up

they laugh at me behind closed doors when i fall
and put their hands in their pockets when i reach out
they don't support me when i need a leg to stand
and don't try to hear when i begin to speak

my life seems to be all the talk at family affairs:
"where are you working?"
"did you graduate college yet?"
"be sure to vote republican down the line in november!"
they all talk, but still know nothing about me

there is still hope for me
even in my darkest hour
because i've never been a quitter
and i'm not about to let "them" win

Tattered

your stories are becoming stale
you need to choose a new ship to sail
because im running from my spot on your sidelines
and im learning to read between the lines

your lies are becoming thick
there is no room for truth-you're sick!
you cause a pain for which there is no relief
you took my sensitivity and fled like a thief

don't call me a victim, cause that I will never be
i refuse to let you pull your scam on me
now im a tough chick, you must admit
it's not easy to be alone, here and just sit

i no longer have any regrets
who will come out on top? i'll start taking bets
round 1 is over, believe me now snitch?
who now feels like a salem's witch?

i really hope you learned your lesson and all
i'd sure hate to see you fall
never thought i'd be this strong
guess u did get me all wrong

Stale Air

mind is roaming,
brain is foaming.
energy overload,
frog is turning to a toad.
work again tomorrow,
need money that i could borrow.
plant a seed and grow a tree
now i  have some fruit for free.
it's now time for me to sleep
i pray i'm not the devil's to keep.
