Lynn King Poem
Im so very torn by my emotions
Riding high my heart is in throat
Angry and disillusioned by lies
Seems the boat i ride never floats
Holes in floorboards a sinking ship
treading water about to drown
Fighting for air gulping my anxiety
I just wish i could stop falling down
Seems my life is a never ending battle
And uphill climb that leads no where
Love is an illusion sold to us by tv
No one gives up themselves to care
Everything is about what you can get
Theres no random kindness for another
Agendas frought with your screwing neighbor
I dont know why i ever even bothered
Im a gentle spirit being churned and spit out
I cast no stones yet they stone me
I judge nobody yet still im judged
I cant understand why this happens to me
Am i truly that unlovable easy to burn
Trekking through life without anyone
to share my burdens or or give me love
should i give up b4 what i do cant be undone
Tied my holey boat back to the dock
Ill stay where i am stagnant and still
Stop trying to ford the river of life
Give up give in til foes have there fill
When they are done i rise again beaten
Forlorn undressed regressed yet still standing
Ill walk towards the sun head held high
With a new inner strength of understanding
But i wont be easy i wont show care
My heart will b empty ill be the prick
I will do only for me not care about you
My heart will b filled with lead & arsenic

Lynn King Poem
My eyes have been opened i see the light
I wish the truth was kept hidden from sight
My anger now strident riddled with fight
want to rage at indifference through the night
Silent tears track lines down my face
As i think of the things that lead to my disgrace
How foolish i was to even give chase
Its serves me right to be alone in this place
What he said.. i thought he was sincere
Or were the words just what i wanted to hear
Was it just in my head or did love appear
Only to diminish evaporate and then disappear
When he first arrived.. I ignored his admiration
Played it off as game.. His blatant flirtation
I was to afraid to take serious his actual fixation
And now that i love him it reached it expiration
Why did i think with my heart instead of my head
Alone again picking up pieces of love now dead
Many friends warned.. Cajoled and said
Listen not to the words he whispered and fed
Tis lies he spoke as wormed his way
To receive my heart and money to pay
Only to return to his friends and slighly say
See this stupid woman she thinks im here to stay
But though i was foolish for short awhile
Then Remembered to use my head to reconcile
Disecting truth from lies.. meanwhile
Recreating my life without any smiles
But i cant say i didnt want his love badly
Ill never say im not torn its ending sadly
I wont deny i love him ever madly
And i guess ill keep the happy memories gladly.
This woman i am alone without a man
Been on my own so long didnt need a hand
Til he came along i thought life was grand
He turned me all around made a stand
Then left me alone as he walked out the door
I expected him to return never saw him anymore
I dont know if i am just an old whore
But why wont anyone love me forevermore

Lynn King Poem
My life has been a neverending uphill battle
My travels have taken me far and wide
Its bends and dips drags me thru mud.
Many a night i have shivered and cried
A survivalist that meets every demand
I stumble through life completely aware
Shying away from people out to do me harm
Detouring through pitfalls that are everywhere
I placed a heavy shield around myself
Try hard to keep my heart intact
Its been broken so many times before
When it happens it hard to mend it back
I stand up straight with head held high
Forgiving those who blatantly hurt me
I put one foot in front of the other
Hoping to find lasting love to set me free
I stagger by dens of devilry and demise
Fighting to keep on a righteous path
Ive lead the life of active addiction
But try to stray from the devils wrath
I've managed to pick myself up time and again
lve ran in fear from men under dark skies
Survived the cold and rain with no covers
Let no one hear my anguished cries
Regsrdless of what is thrown at me
I would never try to take my own life
It goes against the grain of my self worth
To give up or give in no matter the strife
Lately my will to survive had been tested
My chances of love have been far and slim
Vigilantly I stand on precipe of light and dark
Forcing myself to move forward without him
