All I need to know...
I don't know you, you're just the friend of a friend. I don't know your back ground, where you grew up, all that. I've only met you once, and only for a few moments.
I don't want to know you. I don't ever want to stand in your presence again. I don't like you, and I don't have to.
Because, you used the "n" word in front of me, in a rather ignorant, and extremely racist way.
That is all I need to know about you.

Unseen
After the sun has set,
I will not look
Out of my window.
With eyes downcast
I pass it by.
Lest I see
Something that cannot
Be unseen.
Lest something unseen
Sees me.
I will not look
Out of my window.
With eyes downcast
I pass it by.
Lest I see
Something that cannot
Be unseen.
Lest something unseen
Sees me.

For my unborn baby...Feb. 24, 2005
There is a gift I carry
More precious than diamonds or gold.
A gift for me to cherish,
And forever my heart to hold.
A gift that changes me,
But also changes us all.
A gift that brings so much,
Though it is so very small.
This gift was given to us
To make us change our ways,
To stop us being selfish,
And give thanks for everyday.
Now this gift adds it's light
To another given before.
So now we have twice the love,
And everyday means so much more.
More precious than diamonds or gold.
A gift for me to cherish,
And forever my heart to hold.
A gift that changes me,
But also changes us all.
A gift that brings so much,
Though it is so very small.
This gift was given to us
To make us change our ways,
To stop us being selfish,
And give thanks for everyday.
Now this gift adds it's light
To another given before.
So now we have twice the love,
And everyday means so much more.

Little One Lost
smiles
laughter
names picked
hopes for the future
what will you look like
boy or girl
will you be big or small
everyone's happy for us
then
goodbye little one
I cry for you
for myself
for your daddy
for all those who loved you
who never even knew you
God took you back
I love you little one
my angel
my baby
laughter
names picked
hopes for the future
what will you look like
boy or girl
will you be big or small
everyone's happy for us
then
goodbye little one
I cry for you
for myself
for your daddy
for all those who loved you
who never even knew you
God took you back
I love you little one
my angel
my baby

For LD...
I love you!
You have hurt me, cheated on me, left me for someone else, made my life a living hell, and then asked forgiveness.
And I gave it.
Because I love you.
Because you love me.
Because you gave me love, you gave me support,
And most important, you gave me my children.
Even when you were with someone else,
You were there when I needed you.
Even when you said we were through,
And I said the same,
You were always there.
You never let me go.
Even when I told you to.
...

Always
Despite the stupid fights
The silly arguments
Getting mad
Staying mad
Silent treatments
Talking shit to friends
About each other
Name calling
Object throwing
Stomping off
Slamming doors
Screaming
Crying
Cursing
Saying things we don't mean
Threatening to kick you out
You threatening to leave
Me kicking you out
You leaving
You always come home
We always make up
And when I fall...
The silly arguments
Getting mad
Staying mad
Silent treatments
Talking shit to friends
About each other
Name calling
Object throwing
Stomping off
Slamming doors
Screaming
Crying
Cursing
Saying things we don't mean
Threatening to kick you out
You threatening to leave
Me kicking you out
You leaving
You always come home
We always make up
And when I fall...

My Life
This is it
This is me
Everything I've always
Wanted to be
Happy homemaker
Loving wife
All I've ever wished
For my life
Some may not like it
But here it is
And it's all mine
All of this
Today, tomorrow
Forever after
Through every tear
Whether of pain or laughter
I love this life
In every way
And I thank God
For everyday
For every hug
For every kiss
For every moment
Of quiet bliss
...

I am Joy
I am a woman
In love with a man
Mother to daughters
Doing the best I can
I am a woman
Trying to keep peace
To make everyone happy
Despite my own unease
Woman, mother
Lover, friend, wife
Daughter, sister
Many names, one life
I am Joy
In love with a man
Mother to daughters
Doing the best I can
I am a woman
Trying to keep peace
To make everyone happy
Despite my own unease
Woman, mother
Lover, friend, wife
Daughter, sister
Many names, one life
I am Joy

pms
Yes, I know that I am hormonally imbalanced,
and emotionally unstable.
I know this,
I don't need to be told.
What I don't know is why you wish to be stabbed repeatedly with a dull object.
and emotionally unstable.
I know this,
I don't need to be told.
What I don't know is why you wish to be stabbed repeatedly with a dull object.

Fight Like a Girl
I fight like a girl.
Which means I am cunning, intelligent, and ruthless.
I will hold on to something for years,
and get you when you've forgotten all about it.
I will hurt you in ways you can't even imagine,
and can't trace back to me.
I will stab you in the back,
while smiling in your face.
Yes, I fight like a girl,
and girls fight dirty.
So watch what you say,
watch who you hurt,
and remember,
we usually come in packs.
Which means I am cunning, intelligent, and ruthless.

my dearest friend
my only love
you will always be in my heart
because you have always been
before i knew you
there was the promise of you
and i loved you
and so
when time passes away
and all becomes nothing
i will still love you
my only love
you will always be in my heart
because you have always been
before i knew you
there was the promise of you
and i loved you
and so
when time passes away
and all becomes nothing
i will still love you
