Death Penalty

I was good, 
You turned me bad,
We hijacked her,
I was caught 
I was taken and locked up,
You were still free,
I hate you for this life I live now,
In fear knowing I’ll die,
I stood by you while you killed her,
You murderer,
You monster,
I get blamed, and you go free, 
I say this is not fair.

My day is today,
I chose lethal injection,
Cuz you injected me with badness,
I realize that now,
How could you go free, without any regrets?
Do you feel anything?
I won’t be able to in a few minutes.
My day and time has come,
Be aware my last words, will be where they can find you.

The Visit

I visited you today,
At that place where you lay.
I placed flowers and a picture of you and me at your cold headstone.
As I was leaving, the wind picked up,
Throwing my hair in my tear-filled eyes,
That soon streamed down my face,
I tried to t hold them back,
Soon gave up on that.

I am not who I used to be,
I died along time ago, when you had to pass,
With one lingering question.....
Where is the "good" in this "goodbye?" 

I visited you today,
And cried, fighting the tears back.
Trying to figure what good comes from goodbye....

I Miss You

I watched you grow,
I watched you sleep right next to me,
All the good times we had,
I'd come home from the bus,
Always to see your golden face and wagging tail,
Why did you have to go?
I miss you.

"he" made me watch you suffer,
"he" made me cry,
"he" made me lose you, my best friend in the world,

If you were still here things would be great!

Do you remember those snowy days and nights,
Catching the snowballs in mid-air?
Remember you and me...playing in the mud,
After the rainstorm?

I watched you grow, just like you watched me,
I miss those days, and now I only have memories,
Knowing I can never replace them,
I miss you!
I need you!
I love you!

You will never be forgotten!
But I do miss you......l

Lies

How do I live with all these lies,
falling from the skies,
I have no answers,
no truths to live by.

I'm losing grip of my chance,
letting go of my stance,
Living with lies,
that ruin many lives.

People call me heartless,
but I live in total darkness,
People tell me I should die,
and its all a goodbye......

It's a Lie

I'm telling myself I am fine,
I say I am not going to give up,
I do,
My mask has hidden me long enough
Though it keeps the truth inside me,
I will keep it bottled up,
To seem I am all okay,
Nobody can see
Me cry, me wanting to die,
Throughout these months of nervous breakdowns,
The shock of my truth,
Only I feel,
Only I see,
Only I bare it alone,
Without this mask, you will see me as a mess,
I need to do better at hiding,
These feelings never subside,
For only it's a lie.

Better Days There Were

I just can't sleep tonight,
Knowing things just ain't right,
It's in the papers, on the t.vs, all around us too,
Children crying , soldiers dying, some people with no homes.
The sunshine can't be seen,
Tell me how everything can be changed,
So I close my eyes, and think of a better day,
I close my eyes and pray,

Am I sinner? cuz' i have my dinner on this clean plate?
I get a vision to make a difference, and it started today.

Pray for the broken hearted, and all the lives not started,
All the soulds that need a break,
I can't sleep tonight,
Someone tell me how to change,
I close my eyes and see a beter day,
Whishing everyone would do the same.

Rhyming-I Think

Not a good day, I want to fly away, 
Disapear into dispair, dying from lying,
I'll just go ding, like an old toaster thing,
It toasts bread, and never goes to bed,
Awake through the pain and strains,
Crying tears of fears,
Not beliving all of the dealings of drugs,
That is untill I got mugged,
Cought in a frought, not one way out,
I turn insideout,
Burning and yearning for hope,
But "no" said the pope.

Unknown

The doctor confirmed my greatest fear yesterday,
I didn't know how to take it, and I didn't say anything,
My eyes did the talking,
The doctor, she said it can be slowed down,
But trying to listen to her I didn't hear a sound.
My mind was racing with so many questions,
"How could this happen to me?"
"Why me?" "why now?" 
My eyes are like a water fall,
and creating a stream down my face.
I think of the treatments,
I wonder how I will survive,
I create a world beyond imagine.
Hoping maybe that world will change my circumstances.

Impossible To Find

This is impossible,
I swore I would never fall apart again,
I said I would hold my breath,
That my bottle would not explode,
But it is impossible.

The liquor is cheep,
and tonight will be the night I will sleep,
The floor lights hurt my eyes,
I swore I would not live another day. 
It is impossible to find who I am,
Who I really came from,
Who really cares,
Who actually truly means what they say.

It is hard to say I want someone who will care,
Someone to remind me what life is suppose to be about,
Why I have been placed on this Earth,
It is hard to say it will be all okay,
Things will never be the same.

I walked away and didn't tell anyone,
where I went that night,
I was the first to go.
The last to stay.

It is about time I finally realize it is impossible to find..........

Why Try

So they call her stupid,
Spreading lies, like shattering glass,
She feels unworthy,
She drops too deep,
There is no one to give any explanation,
Lost in those rotten words, that surrounds her like the big deep blue sea,
Only whose there to see,
No way could she believe,
None of it was true,
Treating her like a brute,
Hearing the horn sounding along with the flute,
Powerless, Hopeless, Helpless,
She was alone in the torture,
She was to afraid to fight back,
Lost in a battle, they have just won.
