Regrets
Regrets fill my soul
I'm drowning in self pity.
I have no control.
I feel dirty and gritty.
All you ever gave me were false alibis.
Now it all seems so cheap.
I believed in you and all your lies.
How could you cut me this deep.
Deeper than the most jagged knife.
Now I know that love can physically cut.
Losing everyone I had loved from my life.
If I had only just listened to my gut.
I would have ran fast and far away from you.
And, these tears of blood would stop falling from my eyes
If only I had looked...

Should have known better
Disturbing thoughts flood my head,
when I think of all the tears I've bled.
The things I've let you put me through,
make me look blinded but I see the truth.
I feel the rejection you spit with each word.
I thought you would change but that was absurd.
How can I expect you to be a real man;
when you have never even seen true love first hand.
With no examples of loving unconditionally,
of course you would fail to be there for your family.
When I think of all you could have been.....
Instead you only learned how to...

I feel......
I feel abandoned and
misunderstood at times.
Nothing but an honest heart,
as I sit down to write these rhymes.
Opening up to release these burdens, the ones that have left a stain.
Before the sadness turns me to stone, I need something to dull this deep pain.
The stress of this life is getting too real, my words can't even set me free.
I used to think I was so strong.
stronger than these demons that haunt me.
Each day is a struggle to carry on,
the pressure is getting harder to bare.
The weight of the world on my shoulders,no end in...

Give me a pen to release my sins
As I ascend
with my pen in the wind.
Ready to let the words fly,
little pieces of my mind like bullets in the sky.
Shoot Shoot Bang Bang
I have to let them out or I'll go insane.
Falling down on the paper like raindrops,
full of pain drops.
My life my way, I'll heal myself
or kill myself.
But, it'll be on my own terms.
I can do it alone.
Put my emotions in check.
Trying to fix this wreck,
Of a life that I've created, devestated, complicated, and reevaluated.
Changed my ways,
looking forward...
with my pen in the wind.
Ready to let the words fly,
little pieces of my mind like bullets in the sky.
Shoot Shoot Bang Bang

Love story
I always thought of romance as chemistry.
I get you and you get me.
I never really pictured the
finer things,
not fancy dinners, or expensive rings.
Love has always held a higher standard.
Not just a word to throw out or be philandered.
Love is a treasure, a rare emotion.
A delicate feeling that comes from God, not a potion.
That moment I first looked in your eyes,
I knew right away by the goose bumps and butterflies,
and now here we are all these years later.
Those butterflies still fluttering and we're...

This is what you left me!
Your lies left a permanent stain.
Only an empty space and your memory remain.
Life, soul, world torn apart.
All replaced by this damaged heart.
It hurts to look back on moments shared.
where they even real, did you ever care?
Was it all just an award-winning act?
Because you don't just stop loving someone, that's a fact.
I guess my loving soul and romantic imagination,
wouldn't give way to doubts about your reputation.
Sometimes love can make you blind.
But when the truth comes out vision and sadness are easy to find.

Aged to perfection
I love you more with each sunrise.
Though our hair is starting to gray.
It's getting harder to ignore the cries,
of our bodies as we get up to start our day.
others might grow apart with each season that passes.
we seem to grow closer together.
When my honey is moving more like molasses,
well, we'll just blame that on the weather.
I love you when our skies are blue,
and things seem to be going down the right path.
I will love you when things go bad, as they do.
Just hold me tight during the aftermath.
I'm not afraid...

This is my life
This is my life, it is what it is.
I've won, I've lost, and still I don't have answers to this quiz.
Mistakes I've made many.
Regrets I have plenty.
Life is a gamble you make with every decision.
You bet with your happiness, so make them with precision.
One wrong turn can change you fate.
One short cut to your life path, and a new ending you'll create.
I've had a hard life, and some things I couldn't change.
I accept my part and I've tried so hard to rearrange.
I've always felt like I had to make all the people around me happy. ...

Damaged
Damaged people are strongest,
because they've learned to survive.
When times are darkest,
they're the ones that thrive.
Only when your thrown to the bottom,
can you learn to pull yourself up.
When your almost always out of coffee,
you gotta learn to fill your own cup.
They say it's always darkest,
before you reach the dawn.
You must first be the ugly duckling,
before you can transform into a swan.
So lessons learned must be the grand prize,
for the few that actually do win.

Resolution revolution
This year it is my resolution.
To not resolute it just causes mind pollution.
Instead I'll just be honest with myself and my peeps.
I don't plan on changing and wordful resolutions come cheap.
To save my frustrations, my stress and my sanity,
I will not try to lose weight well that would just be in vanity.
I will eat eat eat to my heart's content.
Until there is an effortless diet that is free, I'm sure someone will invent.
Exercise, are you kidding well that's just hilarious,
I'd rather watch you, I'll just live vicarious.

Christmas success
Christmas can bring stress,
If your life's a mess.
Let past regrets go,
then regain control.
This will bring success!

When inspiration strikes
when I start to write.
I feel the excitement ignite.
Never knowing what thoughts will come together.
Will the words seem too dark,
or will they be bright and clever?
Will I come across as too sad and depressed?
Or just a lady overwhelmed and stressed.
You never know what your mind can create.
It's amazing what was once supressed,that you now can communicate.
The winds of poetry carry you away with ease.
All it takes is honesty a little effort and soon you'll be floating in the breeze.
Open your soul, let your...
