Sisters

We've grown so much
But never apart
Best friends forever
You're half of my heart
You give me support
You always understand
Never stop reaching
For my lost, helpless hand
I've made some decisions
That I'm sure you don't approve
This world is utter chaos
Don't lose me in a groove
You're the light of my life
The answer to my prayer
A Sister's Sister
What more could we share?

Reality Arises

Each day goes by one by one, until each day is done
Your only goal everyday is to make sure life is fun.
People stress about everything, gotta do this and that
They fight about things like money and cars, even the dog and cat.
They argue over the smallest things, yet never take the time
To realize that their lives could eventually stop on a dime.
They need to open their eyes and see what really counts
They need to view their gifts in life, try using different amounts.
They strive and strive for what they want, never happy with what they've got
Yet never see what's in front of them to realize they've already got a lot.
The smallest things matter most, like family and love
The two most important things are self-confidence and your Lord up above.
People need to clean their consciences and see what their about
They need to ask their Lord for help whenever their in doubt.
Why is it so blinding, all the materialistic things around?
Why do people run their families and friends into the ground?
For wants and needs are things that will forever remain...
But without peace and harmony, you'll never be truly whole within your own domain.

Confidence Within

Introducing Jazz:   A small and meager girl looking to build confidence in herself..Trying to find the inspiration to survive life. 


No confidence within, only doubt and fear
Mysteries of the night are all I hear
Trying to be strong deep inside
Finding a hole and wanting to hide
My goal is to become a man
Fighting hard, doing all I can
Trusting in myself, truly letting go
No doubts remain is all I know
Becoming stronger day by day
Building confidence in every way
I can do it, yes I can
I am stronger, I’m now a man
Love from within, is all I need
Now loving myself, yes indeed
Have faith in yourself, this you should heed
It’s all within you, if you truly want to succeed.

Webs of Life

Spiders; spiders everywhere
They are here and they are there
Slowing spinning, a web they weave
Trying to entice and deceive
Many things are caught and not let go
Poor little souls, they just don’t know
For when their caught, they can’t get out
A life is lost without a doubt
Webs are spun throughout life
Only to bring grief and strife
So watch very carefully before you move
Before you know you’re stuck in the groove
So think twice before opening that door
A soul is gone forever more

Not Me But You

So many tears that I cried, wondering how our love had died
Couldn't figure out what to do, thinking that it was me not you
My self confidence torn to shreds, love is so many colors of reds
I blamed myself for things gone bad, a love so strong I thought we had
But you left me standing here, the future to come with nothing but fear
It took some time with lots of thought, to realize what I have really got
I got a future without you; God gave me the strength to know what to do
He made me see the things unknown, through the years I have grown
I now know the reasons why, the reasons why you said goodbye
For it was you who was wrong, now it’s me who is so strong
I was not the one to blame; I was not the one who lost the game
I actually won when you said goodbye, I no longer want to die
For you are the one who has lost, you are the one to pay the cost
For we were not meant to be, I now know it was you not me
I am worth it without a doubt; I now know what I’m about
The problem was not me but you; I just hope you know it too
A promising future I now hold, I’m glad I left you in the cold
For you are the one who has truly lost, and you are the one to pay the cost
I’m truly glad you said goodbye, since my soul mate has just said “hi’

Reaching Forward

Reaching, stretching, grasping straws
Misdemeanors, felonies, breaking laws
Wondering, dreaming, holding on
Childhood fantasies forever gone

Wanting, needing, praying hard
Guessing, struggling, playing a card
Moves and turns; which road to take
Questions, answers, get no break

Changing, growing, now I know
Living, learning, yet a lot to go
Loving, hugging, finding strength
Moving forward at all lengths.

Teenage Years

Making new friends, get rid of the old
Continuously changing, no time to grow mold
Helping them through can be difficult at best
Forever c comparing themselves to the rest

Learning to be who they are on their own
Wondering where they will be when their grown
Riding a roller coaster of emotions so raw
Thinking about the card they will draw

Love them the best that you know how
For they will never be the same as they are now
Helping them now and then letting them go
Supporting them with all the wisdom you know

Teenage years are the worst of all to get through
People can be very cruel in all that they do
A parent is there to help them get by
For when they leave the nest, it’ll be your turn to cry.

Surviving the Game

SURVIVING THE GAME

I’m here all alone, yet not at all
Trying to catch myself everyday from the fall
Only one body with many thoughts
Running forever trying not to get caught
Trying to control it, the thoughts inside
No such luck, there’s nowhere to hide
Two polar ends from bottom to top
Too many emotions that just won’t stop
They say it’s an unbalanced chemical inside
With no way to stop the unending ride
Therapy and medicines to help it subside
Yet nothing works, so many days I have cried
Depression, Bi-Polar and the physical too
Don’t know who can help or what else to do
People are cruel and judge you in many ways
Struggling to be sane thru too many days
If you do not have it, realize that you’re blessed
Help those that do since they are overly stressed
Unseen issues for some that others will never understand
So instead of helping, they give you a brand
Bi-Polar and depression are horrible in every way
From one to another just know, for you and me “I will Pray”.
