The Meaning of Nothing

Desperate times like this call for a distraction.
Feeling wanted and craving some attention.
There's always a price to pay without an education, in the art of seclusion.  
Laying on the couch as he gazed upon me. 
Taking in the sight, to his delight 
he found me charming.

He told me, "I'm a fighter. I'm a queen."
That he found me particularly fascinating.
"We're not so different you and me,
Which makes you superior when compared to anything."
I was stuck between the sheets. Plunging forward.
Falling further. Wondering why his smile made me feel so sickening.

I'd be crying as he took me in his arms. 
Made me believe he truly meant no harm.
He held me tightly and he muttered, 
"If you get any older maybe we could move past heavy petting. 
You can't gain experience without experimenting. "

He told me, "I was pretty
And around pretty things don't mind if I get a little touchy feely. 
Younger girls fall so very easy. Just don't gain any unwanted feelings, 
without them I can still make you feel amazing."
Once again I was stuck between the sheets. Plunging forward.
Falling further. Unknowingly risking everything.
I felt like nothing when compared to anything.

He'd pull me closer as I started shaking.
Assured me that'd he'd never hurt me and there was no need to be afraid.
He made me feel uncomfortable rather than amazing. 
Turns out his words meant nothing.
Still sitting frightened in his lap. 
My need for comfort had enticed him so much one day when he just snapped. 
And me feeling guilty for doing so, I Innocently asked,
Craving comfort and security, how was I supposed to know?
I'm sorry, that really wasn't my intention.  

He started smirking as he said, 
"You really like attention.
Your teasing doesn't pay the bill.
One day you won't be able to shut me out.
And those doors won't stop me from getting in.
Is that so difficult to comprehend?", he threatened.

I was a token of your humor.
I was your stupid little fool. 
I was nothing but your prisoner.
I meant absolutely nothing at all to you.
I was stuck within your sheets. 
Unable to move forward.
There was nowhere else to fall.
As I was screaming silently, you made me realize 
the meaning of nothing meant me.

If I had known all along, that I was backed against the wall,
I would have never wrote this poem.
And I would have fought harder than just screaming, that this feels wrong I think we should stop.

Precious Baby Girl

Her laughs sweeter than sugar
Dancing around the room In circles
Until she gets dizzy and can't stand no more
Her smile was contagious 
Too bad life happened
And that smile had seen its last days
She had no choice left 
But to be courageous
   The years went by so fast
But really she's still a baby girl
she doesn't sing and dance anymore
Every morning she has a war with herself to just to get out of bed
Cause they don't come around anymore
So they my as well be dead.
I remember my father used to say
Can't get his words out of my head
"He said knowledge is power"
The problem with that is
The more you know, the less you really wanna know


   Underneath it all she's still in longing 
This world is so infectious
When it comes to chaos and evil
I wanna slay the dragon
But I seemed to have dropped my weapon
It's there but it's missing
you can call it a mercy killing
for killing my innocence
You got a sick way of looking at things, darlin
I get live to see another day to tell my tragic tale
But underneath it all I'm weeping for
My precious baby girl...

   Hollering at the wind
Hoping to slow it down
I don't know where I begin
Or where I'm supposed to end 
There so many unwritten pages to my story
So why should it end here?
What would mother say?
If this was back in the day.
   Nothing was meant to be easy.
God didn't put any promises in the promise land
Forgotten how to dream my own dream.
Your words have a bitter aftertaste
With you was where my dreams end.

  Underneath it all she's still crawling
Suck out the poison slowly
Not all at once 
I wanna slay the dragon
But I seemed to have lost my weapon
I feel like somethings missing
You can call it a mercy killing
For killing my innocence
You got sick way of looking at things, darlin
I get to live another day to tell my tragic tale
But underneath it all I'm weeping for
My precious baby girl....

Valley of Tears

Thought I'd be stuck here forever
Don't need to live in fear anymore 
There's been a change in the weather
The choir's singing in my honor
I'm happy to leave here
There's so much more to explore...
    Time to wash away all the fears of yesterday
 I've had enough of your black rain
Don't let the past ruin today
Time to free myself from all the pain
I've come such a long way
 There is a life out there
Beyond the valley of tears
There must be....
    I'm gonna change my name
Change my hair 
And untangle you from me
Picking up the pieces of the mess you made of me
The darkness still surrounds me
But I pray one day I'll rise above it all...
   Around this time next year 
I'll have nothing but my shame
The flame may be gone but the fire still remains
But I pray one day I'll rise above it all...
There is a life out there
Beyond the valley of tears
There must be...

Hide and Seek

Your eyes can be so cruel. You don’t have to try to be.  You do it so naturally. Unable to move, nowhere to run.  Your eyes pierce through me sharper than a knife, faster than a gun. Why did I go along with your games for so long? Why should I be made the villain for your evil crimes?
     In years from now, these demons will be just as near. Never fully gone, no matter how much I wish they’d disappear. Your face will haunt my nightmares, not only in my sleep. Preying on my deepest fears. My inner child will be playing hide and seek. Fragile and so used to hiding finally seeking a way out...
     Your threats have kept me at bay. You’ve gotten what you wanted and will continue to do so until the judgement day. You’re unkind remarks leave a bruise on my already crippled heart. Breathing doesn’t come easy when it comes to your iron hand. Sometimes it would be easier to not breathe at all. Less painless with pins and needles to break the fall.
     Trying to catch myself before falling deeper into your lies. You say there are rules to abide. That there’s nowhere to run or hide. No one to hear my deafening cries. Singing to myself a quiet lullaby. That’s the best I can do to sweeten the blows. Just get it over and done with no one’s ever going to know. You’ll sweep it under the carpet so my scars never show.

Paralyzed

Her eyes are weary
But she's wide awake
She can't seem to shake 
This feeling away
She knew what you were
She had to learn the hard way
She broke out of the asylum
Night terrors still haunt her in the dark
Blinded by her dreams
There's a disease in the garden
She had no choice except 
To abandon all of her sins back in autumn

  Here In the shadow she cries
Every night she holds on for dear life
Barely making it out alive
In the shadow she only just survives...
In a bed she doesn't want to sleep in
In a world she doesn't want to live in
In a universe she doesn't want to exist in
Here is where she lies....

  She wants to pull her stomach
Over her head and swallow
The weight is adding to the baggage
 Breaking her back
It's not as strong as all this tormenting sorrow
She suffered through the invasion
Her soul is forever paralyzed  
If she ends this now
She'll never feel anything again...

Dignity

My heart breaks for you,
More than it breaks for me,
That’s saying something, my dear.
The past is in the past.
Nothing ever lasts.
The future can help us see clear.
Sorry about the black sheep.
But even the whitest aren’t completely white.
I remember when we used to go caroling
It hasn’t snowed since.
Good thing I travel light.
I wonder,
Will things ever be as they were?
If it makes it easier put the blame on me.
I’ve already lost my dignity.
I worry about what goes on,
When the lights at the house aren’t on?
Pretending everything’s okay when it isn’t.
How many ways can you twist a story?
The truth may never be revealed.
Can’t travel back in time.
Maybe it’s better this way.
If you know me so well,
Why do you not believe in me?
Please I already lost everything.
Don’t need your sympathy.
Please come back to me.

Black Rain

The jungle is awake and alive.
Show me the ways I’ve been missing.
Teach me how to be a butterfly.
So I can come out of hiding?
My wings are in need of some fixing.
Lately I can’t feel anything,
Besides genuine hate.
Toward everyone around me.
I need someone to shelter me.
To keep out the rain.
It’s overwhelming.
You told me you cared.
What were your true intentions?
Covering me in your blankets,
Won’t cover up your fingerprints.
Your drunken words hypnotize my sober mind.
You told me you could ease the pain.
Can I keep a glacier from falling?
Nothing but the mountains remain.
Make me feel something.
Even if it hurts,
Make me feel anything.

Race Horse

What have I done?
To be treated like dirt in your eyes.
Always under the gun.
Constantly being vandalized.
Forever on the run.

Run Race Horse Run
The shows only just begun.
What goods a race horse that's not any fun?
Show me your teeth like a good one.

You want to tame me,
But I was born to be wild and free.
Not in a dudgeon.

Red River

Bloody tears still fall, feverish and dry.
The river flows on even though,
I'm already dead inside.
I'm no longer welcome at my own funeral.
I lay still and I wait.
For someone to take the burden away,
Along with my limpness body.
I lay in anguish as the smoking gun fades away.
All there is left to do, is to move on and deteriorate.

Our ghost will not rest in peace.
Our dreams won't be killed easily.
The Red River will overflow.
The truth will be known.
The earth will shake,
From the unbearable silence left behind.
In the graveyard of lost dreams,
The truth dies with you.

Guardian Angel

The seasons change
God only knows what the season may bring
Warm knitted sweaters to cradle me
House warming gifts to mend my suffering 
   You keep the fire always burning low
Making sure its never fades
You keep me going like the fading glow
But I know someday it has to fade 
And everything will change...

But even though your not there
You are here within me
Keeping me warm and safe
Everyday  Forever...

   Things always change
God only knows what tomorrow brings
Warm soft pillow to rest my head.
A roof to keep out all the Dangerous things
    Showing me how to stand on my own
holding me close through the storm
Giving me a place to call my own
But I know that's today 
Tomorrow everything will Change....

Even though your not there
You are here within me
Keeping me warm and safe
Everyday forever....

Everyday forever...
