All We Have Is Now
I love you but you don't have to love me back"
"Why is it you say it like that?"
You are the man of my dreams
Having you in my bed surely seems
Like I'm living a perfect daydream
Oh my smile, it does beam
I never imagined you would be here
Your twinkling eyes reappeared
Your strong arms drawing me near
My night is complete and I'm in bliss
Never going back, I need this
Wrap me in your love so tight
I thank God for this night
But never will I ask of you
To give to me what you can't do
Those other women caused great...

Can You Hear Me
I crave the darkness
Where my soul can reside
In quiet contemplation
Of suicide
The grasp I've felt within
Clutching at my heart
Crawling on my skin
Never to be calm
Wild running of the bulls
Senses reeling
As strings silently pull
And the pills scatter
Fragmented thoughts
Following me through the halls
Mirrors on the ceilings
and rubber walls
Why is it you find me here
Constantly in a state of disarray
Arms waving as you rush by
To a godless God I begin to pray
...
Where my soul can reside

The grasp I've felt within

Fragmented thoughts
Following me through the halls
Mirrors on the ceilings
and rubber walls
Why is it you find me here

Death By Jello
Every time I end up here
People want my fucking Jello
It's mine, back off
The only thing to look forward to
Are food and visitors
I'm sure as hell not getting any visitors
So, step off my food
My thoughts turn sinister when I hear
"Medication time"
I refuse to stand in line for meds
I'm staying in bed, I'll be the last one
I refuse to stand in line for food too
If she fucking asks me for my Jello again
I'll give her more than she bargained for
I'll cram it down her throat until she can't breathe
Then...

Planting Flowers
Flowers can be fragile, so take care
Exposing the roots can leave her bare
Be sure to plant in nutritious soil
Nurturing a flower is worth the toil
Water her with tender loving care
Help lift her petals into the air
Not too much sun unless she needs it
Or you will damage her I must admit
Don't neglect her and let her die
Damaging her essence should make you cry
Don't blame the flower for your neglect
Don't let her take her last breath
Re-plant the flower and give her a...

Don't Press Snooze On Your Life
Stop limiting your life with comparisons
Your destiny will be determined by your decisions
You have to appreciate what you've got
Embrace the progress your struggles brought
Let your courage be your motivation
Don't let defeat be proof of causation
Recognize all that you know
You are the plant, let your bravery grow
Don't hurt your chance at success
By worrying what you may not get
Never ask others for permission
To continue on with your mission
Give yourself the recognition

Don't hurt your chance at success

Loyalty
It's not the size of your circle, but the loyalty in it"
Sometimes I want to say fuck it, be done with this shit
Friends lying, cheating and betraying
Fake to my face and listening to what others are saying
You stay more than six feet away with your loyalty
Gossiping and laughing and not caring about me
I asked you to be honest, tell me who's spouting lies
"I can't get involved with this" was your reply
Then you brazenly asked me to do you a favor
Pretending our relationship was still the same flavor
The betrayal you showed me with...

My Favorite
My favorite quote that I was told
has helped psychological damage be controlled.
"If life knocks you down, fall on your back,
because if you can look up,
you can get up."
The time spent crying
as my courage was dying
was not a waste
that quote made me get up with feverish haste
Held up my head
stopped spending time in bed
depressed with my situation
people sayin' I am brazen
walk forward in time
self-respect was mine
I had a larger vision of myself
my courage not to be put on a...

Damn Clock
Tick, tick, tick goes the clock in my room
I need to think of something soon
My pen is restless, it wants to write
But it's going to be another long night
Tick, tick, tick goes the clock in my head
I want to write when I should be in bed
But sleep doesn't come easily
When I'm wrestling with the writer inside of me
Tick. tick, tick the clock does sound
It should be easy with nobody around
But the words won't spill onto the page
What a waste of another day
Tick, tick, tick goes my clock
I fucking hate writer's...

Sometimes
Sometimes it's difficult to imagine
A world where I can be
Confident
That I won't forget
Something
Sometimes it's difficult to express
Feelings
Without fear
Sometimes I cry
Because I'm frustrated
That my mind doesn't
Function
Like it should
And sometimes all I want is a hug
But there is nobody
Because my brain
Is not something that anyone
Wants to deal with
A world where I can be
Confident
That I won't forget
Something
Sometimes it's difficult to express
Feelings
Without fear
Sometimes I cry
Because I'm frustrated
That my mind doesn't
Function
Like it should
And sometimes all I want is a hug
But there is nobody
Because my brain
Is not something that anyone
Wants to deal with

Stood Up
What is it in me
That causes you to forget
To be courteous
Why do you not try
To pick up the phone and text
When you can’t make it
My feelings don’t count
Never a priority
I am left shaken
My heart is broken
Waiting thirty years for this
I’ve become undone
The man you are now
Is not the man I want now
I deserve better
That causes you to forget
To be courteous
Why do you not try
To pick up the phone and text
When you can’t make it
My feelings don’t count
Never a priority
I am left shaken
My heart is broken
Waiting thirty years for this
I’ve become undone
The man you are now
Is not the man I want now
I deserve better
