Poet Introduction
My anger, like a shield, must be penetrated to see the real me unless I am only more of the same...

without the darkness
In the darkness, Love clings tight
To the smallest pieces of our soul.Surviving only to save us from ourselves and to keep us human in times we would rather not be and so that when light returns we can remember who we are..
I can't remember who I am
The dark extends beyond my sight. I am drifting away from humanity, Surviving only to save the love clinging to the smallest pieces of me that remain in the light...

the idle of romantic hands
A part of me has died. It was the part that tried. The part on which love relied. The part which for joy had cried. The part to which my dreams had lied. Warm dry hands of romance, content soul of slow dance, the truest heart needs one chance, and loyal eyes not one glance, all are lost from what fate grants. Done with the emotions, a life goes through the motions, void of foolish notions of love.

farcical gift
You're victimized
I'm vilified
We were born unified
Be who you are
Or your heart will scar
Measure up to your own bar
Its very sad
This equality fad
Destroying the chance at peace we had
Who will we be when this is all through
After jealousy and animosity do what they do
Will there be equality if we stop giving it to you
I'm vilified
We were born unified
Be who you are
Or your heart will scar
Measure up to your own bar
Its very sad
This equality fad
Destroying the chance at peace we had
Who will we be when this is all through
After jealousy and animosity do what they do
Will there be equality if we stop giving it to you

choose a stool
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LO7MB1D85Hw
time and time ive seen you wink
and why wouldnt you think
that id like to have a drink
or two with you
you think im just playin it cool
Im tired of playing the fool
so why cant you see that this bar stool just ain't made for two
I'll bet your interests are a bore
You'll want less or I'll want more
You'll make pleasing you an impossible chore
So quit trying to drag me on the floor
I won't play loves game
No one feels the same
It all ends in blame ...

dream for someone else
so long since closed my eyes saw beauty
just sights of pain and useless duty
i built a shelf
to high to reach myself
to put my dreams on
now the're gone
of pain and death
and fighting for breath
sorrowful and stained and rife with strife
my world at night, it mirrors my life
i'm tired of tired eyes and of a tired mind
and im tired of this tired grind
i'd like to wake and then to find
that im asleep inside the mind
of someone who's content and kind
i can see the sea and the sand and shells and a sign
that tells me to rest.

milk for jimmy's kids
jimmy walking home
no street lights no phone
wrong side of the walk
ruff thugs jimmy all talk
pigs all stumped about the whos and the dids
jimmy trying to get back with some milk for his kids
im eighteen and crying
cant believe jimmy is dying
my world getting grim
so i got to the gym
hitting the bag, not the weed
crushing the heavy, building the speed
fueled by rage
and my economic cage
gonna make the thug bleed
if im his next evil deed
just a trying normal dude
forced to be evil and rude
workin' and...

rare things
a diamond supersized
beauty unprized
reality fantasized
a dream realized
bindings untied
a path untried
logic applied
an easily followed guide
love replied
a tear of joy cried
contentment inside
humanity unified
beauty unprized
reality fantasized
a dream realized
bindings untied
a path untried
logic applied
an easily followed guide
love replied
a tear of joy cried
contentment inside
humanity unified

cheated
twenty four men on the deck of a ship
stroking the oars to the crack of a whip
through her evil heart his dagger will slip
over his clean hands her foul blood will drip
only two days gone on a two week trip
he can feel her throat in his longing grip
break through the door, the bed curtains a rip
there will be no red just the blue of her lip
she ended her guilt with one tiny sip....

songs of my heart
done at the start
the songs of my heart
covered in violence
love now is silence
my hearts roots go deep
but at the surface i weep
so my true existence
keeps its distance
the songs of my heart
covered in violence
love now is silence
my hearts roots go deep
but at the surface i weep
so my true existence
keeps its distance

deadbeat mom
Drunk whore mother
Screws another another
Hard working father
Taxes alimony smother
Kids home alone
Raised by the brother
Trading her food stamps
For booze like other drunk tramps
In another car wreck
Drunk bitch fine
Hurt the kids neck
Cops and judge say
What the heck
Just keep sending her
That fat check
Screws another another
Hard working father
Taxes alimony smother
Kids home alone
Raised by the brother
Trading her food stamps
For booze like other drunk tramps
In another car wreck
Drunk bitch fine
Hurt the kids neck
Cops and judge say
What the heck
Just keep sending her
That fat check

i dont know you (cliche comp)
i know in my mind i let my fingers trace
they know the beauty of your perfect face
i know i crave the sound of your silent voice
if i were blind i know you'd still be my choice
i know the speed my heart beats when you're around
i know the need my heart beats when you cant be found
i know your laugh inspires mine
i can see the red of your lips envied
by every shade of wine
i know in a room full of diamonds
only you would shine to me
but i dont know you
they know the beauty of your perfect face
i know i crave the sound of your silent voice
if i were blind i know you'd still be my choice
i know the speed my heart beats when you're around
i know the need my heart beats when you cant be found
i know your laugh inspires mine
i can see the red of your lips envied
by every shade of wine
i know in a room full of diamonds
only you would shine to me
but i dont know you
