POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write songs without a tune. I'm a story teller. Sometimes I write about the news, sometimes about feelings, sometimes I just write.

pretty and savage
four sisters of different mothers
make history usually reserved for brothers
make records making records
surpassing all the others
silenced by men who could care less
killed the golden goose by being careless
four girls who have to make it on their own
but can now, show how much they've grown
black and pink road has turned to stone
~chorus~
and the men in black suits with a rainbow of ties
pretend to be men, are wrapped up in lies
“We've got your back” they put smiles on their faces
while secretly making sure the girls...

Still Spinning
My life derailed
Went off track
Lost so much
I can't get back
In the wink of an eye
Dreams are gone
Along the way
Lost my right and wrong
But I'm better now
Found my compass
Spent too long
Being a dumb ass
I'm older now
But still I can learn
Bridges to nowhere
Are bridges to burn
::chorus::
Sun will rise up
The world still spins around
Bad things happen
Whimper or don't make a sound
Tomorrow is a new day
Seize it in your own way
Tomorrow, yeah tomorrow
Come on,...
Went off track
Lost so much
I can't get back
In the wink of an eye
Dreams are gone
Along the way
Lost my right and wrong
But I'm better now
Found my compass
Spent too long
Being a dumb ass
I'm older now
But still I can learn
Bridges to nowhere
Are bridges to burn
::chorus::
Sun will rise up
The world still spins around
Bad things happen
Whimper or don't make a sound
Tomorrow is a new day
Seize it in your own way
Tomorrow, yeah tomorrow
Come on,...

RapTor
Spitting bars, you think you're Eminem
Meaningless shit, you'll never be him
Without living his life, your chance to be shady
Is slim
What makes him special is the life he led
The blood he bled
The struggles in his head
You can't talk about your feelings deep inside
When there's so much you want to hide
Take them out for a spin and giv'em a ride
Let people see your other side
They may hate you, berate you, call you an ass
They might taint you, but they ain't you
It'll all pass
Meaningless shit, you'll never be him
Without living his life, your chance to be shady
Is slim
What makes him special is the life he led
The blood he bled
The struggles in his head
You can't talk about your feelings deep inside
When there's so much you want to hide
Take them out for a spin and giv'em a ride
Let people see your other side
They may hate you, berate you, call you an ass
They might taint you, but they ain't you
It'll all pass

Step Forward
I'm tired of hearing you continue to complain
That the sky is falling and it's nothing more than a little rain
Chicken Little ain't got a thing on you
Go ahead and hold your breath till your face turns blue
Not everything can be done in just one way
Take a step forward and call it a day
--Chorus--
Take a step forward
Just one at a time
Take a step forward
And you'll do just fine
Take a step forward
And everyone will follow you
Take a step forward
Like the big boys do
If you keep getting pushed back every...

Young Me Versus Old Me
When I was young, I had all this energy and little knowledge. Google didn't exist. I had to rely on my elders for how to do things. Half the time they were worried I'd take their jobs, the other half they would suggest ways that would save my back, or my knees.
I didn't get it. I was a stupid young pup. I did things my way. I lifted things improperly. I worked much harder than I should have. I'm paying for it now.
If I had Google, or YouTube, I would have gotten so much more accomplished. They didn't exist back then. I was a pup running around in circles, or one...

Help Me Get Over Her
I thought her and I would last forever
Couldn't imagine my life without her
But she's gone
I need to move on
Can you picture the two of us together?
I'm not saying
There's no future for me and you
I'm just saying
I might need help making it through
I need someone to hold me
At least for a little while
Someone to talk to
Someone to make me smile
::[Chorus]::
Help me get over her
(Over her) (over her)
Can't make no promises
I don't want to lie
She's deep in my heart
maybe till the day I die ...
Couldn't imagine my life without her
But she's gone
I need to move on
Can you picture the two of us together?
I'm not saying

I need someone to hold me
At least for a little while
Someone to talk to

Smart People Do Stupid Things
When smart people do stupid things
you have no idea what frustration that brings
I mean you expect that out of someone who's dumb
I look up to people with a high IQ
I want to be like them, really I do
but after they screw up it just makes you go numb
I knew an engineer who was in his yard chasing a mole
watched it go down one of it's holes
decided to fill it up with gas and light it for a rodent roast
looking down, guess he didn't figure on the backdraft
anyone that saw it would have had to laugh
his long gray beard and...

Heartbeat - trying to write a Blackpink song
I never thought I could fall in love, was the furthest thing from my reality
I never bought into fairy tales, relationships built on emotional frailties
I'd look upward to those flickering stars in the skies
And try as I might, they'd put no romance in my eyes
Men buying my drinks, I'd cheer as they sank in flames
I'd put another charm on my bracelet and cross off their names
Never saw the sincerity, they were destined to fail
Deep down I resisted and put them through hell
Never expecting some prince would place me on his personal throne
And I...
I never bought into fairy tales, relationships built on emotional frailties

Never saw the sincerity, they were destined to fail

Holding On To Love
I love you
I hate you
Don't want to debate you
On all the aspects of our life
In my defence
My love for you is immense
I only hate when I'm pissed
But I'm always happy you're my wife
Don't want to argue with you on who is right
With you telling me to go fly a kite
Don't want to sink into one more fight
I wanna change this darkness into light
::Chorus::
People don't understand
They think the opposite of love is hate
But that's not true
The opposite of love is indifference
And I still care about...
I hate you
Don't want to debate you
On all the aspects of our life
In my defence
My love for you is immense
I only hate when I'm pissed
But I'm always happy you're my wife
Don't want to argue with you on who is right
With you telling me to go fly a kite
Don't want to sink into one more fight
I wanna change this darkness into light

And I still care about...

One Kiss
You walked out
And straight away I felt my soul dying
Right then and there
You walked out
When I needed you the most
And you didn't really seem to care
I'm such a burden to you
You're such a heartbreak for me
I'm looking for a path through
But I'm finding it so hard to see
::Chorus::
And yet
One kiss
Will bring me right back to life
One kiss
Will raise my head
Right from this deathbed
One kiss
Is really all I need
Will fill my lungs
With all the air I need to breathe
Just...
And straight away I felt my soul dying
Right then and there
You walked out
When I needed you the most
And you didn't really seem to care
I'm such a burden to you
You're such a heartbreak for me
I'm looking for a path through
But I'm finding it so hard to see
::Chorus::
And yet
One kiss
Will bring me right back to life
One kiss
Will raise my head
Right from this deathbed

Am I Ken?
When I was growing up
Ken wasn't made for me
I had my GIJoes
Ken was just a Barbie accessory
Joe had as much as Barbie
Maybe a little more
Ken had almost nothing
Except the girl and that's a score
Debbie had her Barbies
I had my GIJoes
Joe had his camo
Barbie had her designer clothes
We played together
They had a torrid love affair
Then one day we grew up
And she vanished in thin air
Debbie was my Barbie
But someone else was her GIJoe
I wanted my Barbie back

Humpty Dumpty Heart [Songs for the female voice]
You lied to me
When you told me you'd never leave
Yeah, you lied to me
And you still want me to believe
I see that the girl you left me for now is gone
So you come back to me?
It's to late, I've moved on
::CHORUS::
I was like Humpty Dumpty
Sitting on a wall
You pushed me down
Just to watch me fall
All my family
And all my friends
Worked real hard
Getting me back together again
Now you've returned
You've come back for more
Now that my heart has healed
Let me show you the door
All the...
