I'M Sorry

I’m sorry for the flowers that I always sent
Being a nuisance was never my intent
I apologize for all the mushy letters
I thought with you, I would do better
I just wanted to show you how I feel
To show you that love is something real
I was simply amazed by the beauty of your eyes
All they ever did was remind me of a sunrise
Your smile always had me in awe
It was the most beautiful thing I ever saw
The problem is I always thought with my heart
Instead of letting my head take a part
My heart would always tell me what to do
When my head would say, “son have you no clue?”
I understand that love is not your thing
Which is why I always gave you a candy ring
One thing that I do realize is this
You always loved me, but just with a love that does not exist
This is why I want to thank you
Because you inspire me to do what I do

The Pain

I put my faith in what I can't see
Because I want to be all that I can be
Yet the pain I feel is truly real
And I just want to know the deal
I've done all that I'm supposed to do
Even tried to walk in someone else's shoe
But I have suffered and I have cried
At times wish I had died
I ask you why does everything I touch
Cause me to hurt so much
How much more can I give,
If all I have left is the life I live
I've given forth the body and the soul
Even the parts I can't control
But yet that is never enough
Everything out there is so tough
At times I stay up late at night
Wondering will I ever see the light
Or is this the day that will make me stronger
Or the day that will be longer
Everyone is made happier because of me
But yet happiness is the one thing I can't see
I don't understand how could something so easy to find
Be only found in my on mind
Maybe I am trying too much or just too little
Maybe I'm just made to play second fiddle
Maybe one day I will find what I'm looking for
Maybe it's right outside that door
Maybe what I'm looking for is not really there
Maybe for me life is just not made to be fair

No More...

Hello? 
Is there anyone out there?
Can anyone hear me?
Hello?
You there. Yes I am speaking to you.
Please can you help me?
Where are you going?
No. No. wait.
Please dont leave me alone.
I need your help.
Why is this keep happening?
Why does it hurt so bad?
What did i do to deserve this?
Im trying. Believe me Im trying.
Im trying as hard as i can,
But i just cant do it.
Everywhere i turn
seems like an opportunity
but when i turn to that opportunity
it seems to jump everywhere
I cant no more. 
I just simply cant do it.
Doctor. Nurse. Best friend. Mentor
So much potential but will it come true
Or will they just disappear into the blue
I just cant no more
So many times i hear im sorry
i have never seen this occur
then i get a shrug of the shoulders
They dont care really
As they move on with their lives
to my pillow is where i run 
To shed my tears
thinking about all of my fears
Thinking of all my faults
No where to run, nowhere to hide
All the pain is just building inside
it hurts so much but i must smile
because i must fulfill my duty
My duty to serve all out there
but what happens when i cant
will the world end?
will the earth shatter?                                                                                               
no they will move on and find another
one to be strong as a father and
as caring as a mother
but what about me? huh.
Is there no one, anyone
please hear my plea for help
please hear my plea for guidance
the pain. the hurt. the disappointment
is just too much to bear.
please what more can i do
please what more can i say
i dont want your money
I dont need your pity 
A shoulder to lean on
is all im asking for
A caring heart is all i seek
please...please....please
do you see these tears flowing from my eyes
I hope you do because this might
be the last time you do
For after tonight,
there will be no more me...

True Beauty

Intro
It is said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, there is only one I behold as the 
one beautiful enough to see the true beauty within.

I
I wish that I could tell her how I feel
I wish that I could show her I'm for real
I'm going to give her all that she would need
Listen to my story and take heed
II
The sun may rise, the sun may set
The power of her beauty they will never get
Many have tried without any rest
To obtain the beauty that she possess
III
She has the smile of a baby
But the soul of a lady
She is in search of that perfect love
The only one that comes from above
IV
When I look into her eyes, I can see the pain
Wherever she looks, it just seems to rain
But through every situation she has stood tall
And kept herself from a great fall
V
Some may ask if she is real
Can one be this perfect without a seal?
To know the truth of what I've seen
Just look in the mirror to know what I mean
VI
We have held hands throughout the years
We have also shed many of tears
One thing that I am proud to see 
You have become a beautiful woman to me

The Beast

I will never forget that night
It still haunts me in my dreams 
I havent slept in weeks
It happened yesterday I think,
At least that’s what it seems
I jumped out my bed 
When I started to hear the noise
I tried to fight it but it was too strong
Then it took a hold of me 
I wrestled free
I ran through the darkness 
Of the house I thought was oh so safe
I ran and ran trying to find my sanctuary
I opened one door, it wasn’t it
I opened the second door, it wasn’t it
The pain got stronger,
It took a hold of me once again
The more I tried to move, 
The more it would hurt
I fell to the ground, cringing
I tried to scream but it was to no avail
No one can save me, 
Its something I have to do
I got back up and heard another sound
But no one was there, I then heard it again
It was very low but then another a little louder
But with each sound a wrenching stench appeared
Whatever this thing was, it wreaked 
I finally found what I was looking for
My white sanctuary, my white savior,
Only this can combat the foul beast
It was a trap that no one can escape from
It caught me right when I reached my destination
I fought valiantly and with one final scream
I was able to vanquish the beast.
My mother awoken by my screams of pain
Came running and looked upon my sweaty face
She said, everything is ok, you will be alright
But maybe now you will listen to me when 
I say to not eat Taco Bell so late at night
Now make sure you flush the toilet
And spray because the halls stink. 
Thank you my savior, may we never have to meet again.

I Try

I try to stand, I end up falling
I try to walk, I end up crawling
I try to do what I can
I try to be what they call a man
I try to end up not falling back
I try to get on the right track
I try to give all of me
I try to be what the world wants to see
I try to find the perfect wife
I try to have the perfect life
I try and try and try again
To be this world's perfect ten

The Encounter

Out of nowhere she appeared
Something out of a movie scene
And this time it was no different
Boy meets girl is usually the theme
She came in with her orange hair flowing
With the movie star glasses
Without her ever knowing 
Beautiful is a term she surpasses
You’ve taken my breath away
Is what I wanted to step up and say
But as fast as she had stepped in
She also disappeared like the wind
I have spent so long searching for that love
For the one I believed was true
But once again love has escaped me
What else is there to do
The beautiful eyes and wonderful smile
It was as if heaven were dialed
The cute face and itty bitty waist
I’m never tongue tied but this time was not the case
I couldn’t believe my eyes 
And wondered if it was a dream
She was so unbelievable
So I guess a dream is what it seemed
I didn’t sleep that whole night
Trying to get her out of my mind
I wanted to hold her oh so tight
To the point our bodies entwined
I awoke to the idea that today will be the day
That I will be able to sit and speak to her
For I prepared all the words I shall say
My hopes were fulfilled
For there she was standing
My soul was all fluttered
To pop out my chest, my heart was demanding
i got the nerve to walk up and speak
I was so nervous; I thought my mouth would leak
She took off the shades 
And looked into my eyes
I had to stop for a moment 
Because I was so mesmerized
We end up speaking for a few minutes
But forever is what it seemed
Her ride had come to wisk her away
To another part of her day
But before she had left 
I exclaimed please tell me your name
She said oh I’m sorry I forgot to say
My name is Shyvonne
But you can call me Shay

Drip, Drip

Drip, drip is the sound of my tears 

When you lived out my fears

Drip, drip is the sound of your blood 

Before your body made that thud

Perfection

I stepped in the club with a reluctant heart
Because of what i was going through
I sat and surveyed all my surroundings
Wondering what am i going to do

So many to the left with barely anything on
Walking around with a beautiful flaunt
Even more to the right with even less on
Claiming they can provide anything that you want

One after another would come and ask
To give me the pleasure of getting a dance
One after another i would turn them down
For this was not my idea of true romance

But there was one that caught my eye
One peaked my perverbial interest
She was dancing on this one guy
For it was like poetry in motion

The way her hips would wind
The way she gave that smile
The way she would lick those lips
It was as if heaven were dialed

They say when you look into someones eyes
You can tell eveything about them
As i stared into those beautiful brown eyes
I can see from her true beauty does stem

Inside and out from top to bottom
There is no comparison or a match
you would think by my words she would be a phantom
But no she is just the perfect catch

She is known as Jasmine to some
With the beautiful cocoa butter skin
Shes also known as Jessica according to where shes from
Or anywhere else that she has been

But to me she is so much more
she is the one with the smile that lights up my day
She is the one with the voice that gives me peace at night
she is the one with the beautiful complexion
She is the one that is considered simply perfection

Growth

It is that point in time 
When you must grow, 
For much more maturity 
You must show 
I have saved you once, twice 
And of course more than thrice, 
But I can't continue to save you 
for the rest of your life. 
At the sound of a shriek 
I have come full blast, 
At the sound of a whisper 
I have come even faster. 
There are times when you call 
When there's nothing a matter, 
You just needed to vent 
Because no one will listen to your chatter 
My gift is that I try to save 
Every man, woman and child 
My curse as you don’t understand is 
To that life, I have become a slave 
No rest, no sleep, no time to breathe 
What am I to do, im so confused 
Because saving lives is the right thing to do 
I look for a friend someone to show they care 
But it is to no avail for my love 
I have with no one to share 
remember the time when I called out to you, 
but like everyone else you failed to respond, 
thought you’d be there in a rush, 
guess it’s my own fault for expecting too much 
i called out for help just a little request 
But you turned the other cheek 
Because you said you needed your rest 
I figured when I ran to your rescue 
When those guys were attempting to hurt you 
That you would run to my rescue 
And at least do half of what I do 
Because ungrateful each of you have been 
Taking advantage was your greatest sin 
Did you care when I laid in bed 
With a pain oh so great 
Oh hes superman he can't get hurt 
In a couple of minutes 
He will turn back to great 
But now you must suffer each on your own 
Because not one inch of growth 
you have truly shown 
The unthinkable has occurred 
The one thing you all dread 
You must all stand alone 
Because im here to tell you 
Superman is dead
