Fear of Love

Drowning in fear, can you help me escape, 
I hear my words choking, with each breath that I take, someone help, save me from this beast, 
they call it love, & it's claimed my heart as it's feast!

All In

Everyday I surrender for you like leaves in the fall, gracefully landing on the ground as the wind comes to a stall, the sun brings in day & I can't help but smile, the reflection of your beauty is something seen for miles, winter approaches & the snow is to cold to bare, the warmth of our love is something really rare, we leap into spring & life is at it's best, so full & complete, your heart is my nest, summer is here to start this all again, if forever is our future, then girl I'm all in.

My Son

Even though the skies are blue, my whole world has turned grey, I have the voice but I can’t find the words to say, seeing you struggle has left me in a panic & fear, I try to hold it in but my face is drowned by tears, your little hands clinched as your pain is growing, I wish I had the answers & it kills me that I’m not knowing, you’re strong & you are pulling through, just remember daddy’s here & that I love you.

The End

Tonight my inner demons escaping trying to take control, my depression making me cower, that devil, he on a role, I’m trying to fight but I’m smothered with them breathless sighs, suffocating within, saying I’m fine, when I know that’s a lie, everyday alive I’m drowning in pool of pain, screaming into my pillow, nails sunk in, as I go insane, memories are just a constant reminder of what I’ve done wrong, I’ll continue to make mistakes, so I’m better off gone, they just watch me burn as my mind clouds up with smoke, sit & laugh at my pain, as if it’s a joke, fakes smiles & laughter, they make for a great disguise, time to say my prayers & wipe the tears from my crying eyes, I’m tired of acting with such disgruntled behavior, watch me lay it to rest in the hands of my lord & savior, my body confiscating the abuse, can you ease the pain, I apologize to all but the only thing left is for these wings I’ll gain.

Open Bottle

Open bottle of jack & rain pouring down, 
just like my pain, in this whiskey I'll drown, 
trying to drink you away, my eyes fill with tears, 
the drunker I get, the more you appear, 
just like our love, I've come to a stop, 
I throw it away, cause I've sipped the last drop!

Lose To Regain

Why am I here wasting time, as the clock is ticking down, what if today was never known, & no one was around, what if our mouths got sewed, as they quickly told a lie, being born into this world, just to slowly live & die, breathing deeply as we run, escaping from our pain, in this life we have to lose, just so we can regain.

Screaming For Help

Screaming for help but it’s something that’s encased, my tears fall dry, they’re a part of me erased, I speak with my body cause I’m not sure how to say the words, sometimes I wonder if my silence is being heard, 
Wish my mind had a valve so I could let out the memories, wish that we didn’t have to end & you were more than a friend to me, wish my heart was a muscle as strong as they say but I feel it breaking down & feeling decayed, wish my eyes could cry an ocean & you could swim through my pain, is this really how I feel or is it all in my brain,
Suffocated with these thoughts of being alone, I see your number calling but I can’t answer the phone, Loving me lonely, you must be aiming to tear me down, use to wear a smile, now I’m stuck in a frown, you said, you’d never leave me, turns out that was a lie, no, not on the out but I’m dying inside, tears turned to stress, can I let that  pour, what hurts the most, is you love me no more, veins slowly on the rise, pain trying to escape, thoughts disappearing like a cloud full of vape, feeling defeated but I can’t accept the loss, memories are like an album that I turn & I toss.

Rest In Peace

Should I Rest In Peace with this halo, or stay on earth and gain these horns, allow these Demons to take control, or become a Christian that’s reborn,

These voices in my head speak of places of unknown, a map of directions, but Heaven and Hell are all that’s shown,

Should I follow light that leads to gate, or live in shadows full of hate, continue in the present, or become a thing from the past, even Satan was an Angel, that’s why nothing ever last.

Back Aches

My back aches from all the people that have stabbed me,
I’m falling fast, I just need someone to grab me,
My face frowns from all the people that have laughed,  
My mind is under pressure, overworked & under staffed,
My heart is shattered from all the times that it’s been broke,
My words are silenced from all the times that I’ve choked,
My body’s cold from the death that I feel inside,
6 ft under or spread my ashes is fear I’m trying to hide.

Lessons To Learn

People on the news saying this violence intense, but I understand the message that you’re trying to dispense, you say you’re scared to be black, but race ain’t your choice, you’ve got people in the streets, trying to stand for your voice, you need to be heard, this  is absurd, just know I’m here & I’m hearing your words, we need to go back to school & learn that crayons are all in the same box, different colors closely united as one, instead of the color they use to outline in chalk, I say we’re all people, some call me color blind, let this be the number one lesson that I’m about to assign.
