Poo

My second dog Molly 
Is a beautiful border collie

She’s submissive 
Quick to give
Ahhh so many kisses!
You’ll never believe.

I know it’s innocent 
But does she have to
Lick my face 
As well as chook poo?

I wish she knew that 
It’s disgusting 
Even the crap of the cat
Just give me warning!

She’s nearly ten
She will never learn 
Guess I’ll have to 
Put up with it then :(

Fault

I’m not myself
I’ve changed myself
I hate myself 

But it is my fault

He was married
He said he’d leave
He too made her believe 

But after a few years
Now would be three
I am still waiting for the promise I was told that year.

It’s too hard he says
The ex won’t let you and the kids near.

What a load of shit
I’m expected to believe this?
But I’m in love with him
So I don’t call it quits.

He stays the nights when he can
Trying to get them to understand 
He’s still their dad 
He’s still ‘their’ man
Though when he’s there, 
There’s still something that I can not understand 

Why can’t I call?
Why don’t you reply? 
If they know you’re in a relationship with I?

In the past you have lied
Made me crumble 
Made me cry

What’s different this time? 
You still haven’t tried. 

You stay in her home
Its the only way
She will let you visit your kids those days?

I’m asked not to get involved 
Yet my jealousy desperately needs to be resolved

Will you one day leave me out in the cold? 
‘Coz I’ve been doing what you’ve always told. 

“Don’t post anything for her to see,
 It will just fuel the fire for her and her family”
 
So I listen to this advice and always think twice 
Before posting anything that may compromise.

My family can’t understand why I’m still with this man,
I don’t expect them to comprehend.

Because one day I know, 
His true intentions may show


But for now through all the confusion 
I have made my final conclusion 

I’m still not myself 
I still change myself 
But I can not hate myself 

Because it is not my fault!

Tracie

She once felt special, beautiful and loved

But as life went on, 
She felt secluded and shunned

She felt the world on her shoulders, 

Marriage, children, time

No one had told her 
These changes in her life
would weigh her down
Lose her ability to fight 

Her husband had called, 
To know if I'd help her

Years worth of friendship 
I was always there for her

I got every school friend that was still in town 
Together to try and get rid of her frown 

She said merely a few words 
On that morning I planned for her
To show her she's special 
She's beautiful 
And we'd always be there for her 

Weeks went on 
No thanks, no change
Guess depression can't show you other friends might be the same. 

You sit in your home, with your family close by 
And one day you may stop and actually realise 

There are others out there
that sit home and cry
Ones who you think have a perfect free life 

Work through the nights
driving trucks for good pay
To find out my colleagues only want to talk to me the wrong way
I pay a mortgage, bills, food on my own
My ability to smile is constantly thrown
I'm exhausted, feel used, mentally abused
With a rum in my hand is my only refuge

I don't need to talk
I don't need a hand
Just need some way to understand 
How a good soul like me
Can take a stand 

Free from depression 
like we were once years ago 
We are feeling the same 
I just needed you to know.
