Poet Introduction
I'm not for everyone.
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...

To The Girl With Pretty Eyes
You had dreams
You thought you could be somethin’
But you never will
Undressed to thrill
Keep your smile
While all your dreams are killed
Mouth closed
Legs open
Now we're talkin’
Pretty eyes
Pretty face
Know your place
Forget your dreams
Things never change
What's on your mind don't count
What's in it don't matter much
You already broke the golden rule
Let them look but don't touch
Don't touch
Don't touch
Keep your mouth closed
Legs open
Now...
You thought you could be somethin’
But you never will
Undressed to thrill
Keep your smile
While all your dreams are killed
Mouth closed
Legs open
Now we're talkin’
Pretty eyes
Pretty face
Know your place
Forget your dreams
Things never change
What's on your mind don't count
What's in it don't matter much
You already broke the golden rule
Let them look but don't touch
Don't touch
Don't touch
Keep your mouth closed
Legs open
Now...

Your Place of Peace
When night falls
When your breath stills
When your last memory of me isn’t the shadow you see
The place I hold for you in my heart
Will still be waiting for you
When your breath stills
When your last memory of me isn’t the shadow you see
The place I hold for you in my heart
Will still be waiting for you

Your Skin
Anticipation, joy
All I want is you
Your skin, your touch
I’m obsessed with your black magic
The sweet saltiness of your sweat
The way you linger on me
Long after you’ve left
All I want is you
Your skin, your touch
I’m obsessed with your black magic
The sweet saltiness of your sweat
The way you linger on me
Long after you’ve left

Edit Me? Edit You
Edit me? Edit you
with your incorrigible grammar
your misspelled lullabies
your untrue truths
as you make yourself look pretty
I've already seen who may be the real you
corrected and helped you
you and I don't need to discuss anything
creativity can be stolen or mimicked any day
creators are born
I will always sit back and watch you
warn my family
but I refuse to engage with you
sooner or later
it won’t matter to anyone what you do
that's how karma works
Perhaps you're a clever bot
the new-fangled...
