Poet Introduction
I'm not for everyone.
I Followed Your Rules
When you take an oath
when you vow to heal
a requirement should be to listen
you did not
so, I'm bouncing
you promised you could
make my quality of life better
you promised
It's far from better
but I'm going to make it better
I just lost five months of my life
five months I can't get back
five months that could have been productive
five months that I could have worked on getting healthy
You can keep your supplements
(that cost me hundreds of dollars I didn't have)
and your dime store...

This is Me
This is me, Louise
For those who knew me
Call me Missy
Remember me
In conversations and smiles
Remember me in memories
Make ‘em funny
Cat momma
Osie and Salem, my joy
After my cat babies…
Cigarettes and casinos
Classic rock and roll
Wheel of Fortune
Kohl’s, Aldi’s and The Dollar Store
Those were my jams
Lalalalalalalala
I can’t hear you
Those head phones weren’t just for my music
I didn’t need to hear your...

You
The way my back feels
against the warmth
of your chest
joy
safety
all encompassing
you’re like a warm bath just as I settle in
comforting
enveloped
a small sigh escapes my lips
a slight smile
before the inevitable destruction
I always welcome
against the warmth
of your chest
joy
safety
all encompassing
you’re like a warm bath just as I settle in
comforting
enveloped
a small sigh escapes my lips
a slight smile
before the inevitable destruction
I always welcome

Rewriting My Story (revised)
Mmmm, mmmm
I’m leaving my past and what became of me
I’m chasing the light and what’s calling me
Watch me
Mmmm
I’m turning the page and rewriting my story
Mmmm
A new dawn breaks, my skies are clear
I’m wiping my tears with my fear
Step by step I’m moving on
Old days fade I’m moving on
Mmmm, mmmm
I’m turning the page and rewriting my story
I’m breaking chains, there’s no more ties to pain
Every choice, every stride
No more living in shadows, no more reason to hide
Spreading...

Rise Again
Tangled in the chaos that was my mind
Dark clouds overhead stole my shine
Ooh
Lost in shadows long before I was reborn
I’m rebuilding my life with every new dawn
I’ve stumbled and tumbled through valleys of doubt
For decades I had silent screams I longed to shout
Strength I never knew reached deep within
Here I stand ready to rise again
Ooh
Hope flickers like twilight
My broken pieces are coming back to life
Ooh
Let the sunlight heal my wounds
Today I’m singing a new tune
I’ve stumbled and tumbled...
Dark clouds overhead stole my shine
Ooh
Lost in shadows long before I was reborn
I’m rebuilding my life with every new dawn
I’ve stumbled and tumbled through valleys of doubt
For decades I had silent screams I longed to shout
Strength I never knew reached deep within
Here I stand ready to rise again
Ooh
Hope flickers like twilight
My broken pieces are coming back to life
Ooh
Let the sunlight heal my wounds
Today I’m singing a new tune
I’ve stumbled and tumbled...

The Rising Sun
The rising sun
Whispers of a slow and steady defeat
Shadows crept on my lonely street
But as the dawn begins to creep
A promise stirs beneath my feet
Mmmmm
Darkness fading as a new day awakes
(a new day awakes)
Hope finds the fear it breaks
In strength my heart is unchained
No more sorrow, no more pain
No more pain
Mmmmm
No more pain
Mmmmm
My nights were long and filled with doubt
How many echoes screamed, I lost count
Morning light has shown my pain a new route ...
Whispers of a slow and steady defeat
Shadows crept on my lonely street
But as the dawn begins to creep
A promise stirs beneath my feet
Mmmmm
Darkness fading as a new day awakes
(a new day awakes)
Hope finds the fear it breaks
In strength my heart is unchained
No more sorrow, no more pain
No more pain
Mmmmm
No more pain
Mmmmm
My nights were long and filled with doubt
How many echoes screamed, I lost count
Morning light has shown my pain a new route ...

I Freed Myself Today
You couldn’t look at me
Not after I spoke the truth
My truth
My addiction
My confession
My abstinence
My willingness to get help
I won’t live with shame anymore
You couldn’t look at me
Because my truth
Shines a light on your truth
Not after I spoke the truth
My truth
My addiction
My confession
My abstinence
My willingness to get help
I won’t live with shame anymore
You couldn’t look at me
Because my truth
Shines a light on your truth

The Lifespan of Stars
The lifespan of a star
Completely depends on its mass…
I’ve always wanted to be a priority
To be so large in someone’s life
Shine so bright
Their love for me would last forever
————-
I wrapped your adversaries in caution tape
I questioned your thought process
I overstepped my bounds
In the name of insulating you
Keeping you safe and warm
Is a priority to me
You didn’t see it that way
————-
It never occurred to me
To wish
To remain...

Offering Myself To You
You can have me begging
And nasty on my knees
But not tonight, baby
Tonight I’m gonna be
The gift you give yourself
When no one’s watching
When shadows pirouette
And marionettes sacrifice their strings
I’m the peace love brings
Mmmmm
Lips searching, our bodies entwined
My fingers trace your skin, making crazy designs
The world outside our window is burning and crashing
But nothing ever felt so right
And here
On this apocalyptic night
I give myself to...
And nasty on my knees
But not tonight, baby
Tonight I’m gonna be
The gift you give yourself
When no one’s watching
When shadows pirouette
And marionettes sacrifice their strings
I’m the peace love brings
Mmmmm
Lips searching, our bodies entwined
My fingers trace your skin, making crazy designs
The world outside our window is burning and crashing
But nothing ever felt so right
And here
On this apocalyptic night
I give myself to...
