A Daughters Gratitude

Mom Thanks for.....
Planting my feet so firm on the ground,
and cleaning up my  mess which you found
 
Thanks for all  the times you wiped my nose 
and for all the times we shopped for  clothes 

Thanks for taking me to church,
and   being the living example of a womans worth 

Thanks for showing me how to tie my shoe,
and for making me smile when i was blue.

Thank s for teaching me how to ride a bike,
to skip and jump and swim and hike.

Thanks for all that you've done for me 
and filling my heart with the love it needs

Self Abuse

"Self Abuse"
Imagining how my own hand would taste
I want to  punch my own  face, is that such a disgrace?
I bet no one would ever know
It is I that throws the blows
Could I knock myself out?
Or should i just hit my own mouth?

Maybe Ill black my left eye 
Ill use the right one to cry
 just how long will it take
once I am out to awake?

This way I will recieve love and sympanthy
And lots of  company who pities me
Come on its time for the show
Today I will start by busting my nose!

Voices

whispering softly their words do tread  
 into my mind with haste and threat 
slowing engulfing all of me 
and loosing all of my sanity 
steadily they contemplate 
just how how to eliminate 
the faith i will to them forsake  
It is as if i am on a string 
a controlled and puppeted form of me
No decisions are of my own accord
For my voice they do ignore
 one by one they state their claim 
bickering inside my brain 
 the first of them is rational 
she forsees which way the cards will fall
cautious she is with her approach 
Propper living she does coach 
To the second of them she is much diverse
she is evil  as she is cursed
 She does one thing persistently 
is proving her lunacy
she alterse decieves with her trickery 
acting as a evil tyrant 
 she forces me to be  compliant
Number three she isnt here  
she wont be seen,  nor will entertain 
she had some place to be
where is your reality?
