Mother May I

Mother may I 
Go out and play
My child
Have you cleaned your room today

Are your toys packed away
in your toy chest with care
Yes mother yes 
its all in there

Did you make your bed 
like i showed you how
yes mother yes
may I go now

Yes son yes
after a brief inspection
son shakes his head
not what I was expecting

Never-mind mother
I'm going to my room
oh by the way
can you hand me the broom?

An Ode To My Lover

A light...
shines around you 
look at the glow my love
you bring me joy and I adore you 

because without you there would be no us
no me
no reason to live another day 
because life without you is nothing
a meaningless existence no reason to be 
I thank you for loving Me!

For making me feel beautiful
and not cute or pretty
for making me see things that i couldn't 
and believing in me

For giving me air
when I couldn't breathe
I thank you babe 
for loving me

Suicide

My life is messed up
Not a day goes by 
That I don’t want to die
And make this pain go away
Why am I here 
What is my purpose?
wondering
What my place in this life
on this earth is
Who am I living for? 
Certainly not myself
My children I love them
And no one else
I try to live for them
But I hate this life thing
I sit back every day and wonder
 If I’m doing this right man
I can’t take this world
And the crappy hand I was dealt
Wish I could be reincarnated
And become someone else

Momma's Joy

When I awake in the morning

My kids are all I see

My rich mans family

that's enough for me

 
You bring me smile

you bring me joy

you my princess

and my handsome boy

 
My reasons for being

Thing one and thing two

I am so happy

that I have you

 

My babies My babies

I love you both

hearing mommy all day

is what I cherish most

Freestyle

Love is a beautiful thing

so glad i can share it with you

I believe when you say that you love me

because i know it is true

 

It's been said to me before

but it was all lies

the others wasn't true to me

all they did was lie

 

what you found in me they'll never know

because I gave you my all

I never played these guys too close

I wasn't trying to fall

 

The life we share

they'll never see

you're everything 

I thought you'd be

Pain

The pain I feel
it cant be beat
because what I feel
is called deceit

I don't know why
you lie to me
it hurts like hell
cant you see

So many tears have fallen
that they cant fall no more
so much clothes packing
and heading out the door

so many
 "baby please don't you go's"
so many
"I know you was with that hoe's"

so much pain
i feel in my soul
i have allowed you to hurt me
I've lost control

Pain go away
you're not welcome here
you must go now
i have shed my last tear
