Saying of the day: "live your life"
The Girls In Our Lives
there's a girl sitting on the old wood floors
a clever girl
so clever she unlocked the dumb ol doors
there's a girl who stays steady as a rock
a small girl
too small she can't even read a silly clock
there's girl wondering who she'll grow to be
a consistent girl
so consistent everyday at 4:00 she's pouring tea
there's a girl who sadly just had to grow up
a fragile girl
too fragile for her to live in a world so corrupt
there's a girl questioning herself every single day
a frightened girl
so frightened that she might...

I Don't Learn
Sometimes It's easy to forget how far I've come
Sometimes I take it all for granted
Well that's my mistake
But how could I dare forget the place I came from
With all that I've preached and ranted
Well that's my mistake
Sometimes I put off the the things that matter in the end
Sometimes I'm convinced it's whats best
Well that's my mistake
When did a crowded scheduled first overrule a friend
Working too hard to play or rest
Well that's my mistake
Sometimes I get angry over things I can't control
Sometimes I take it out on you
Well that's...

Not the fancy folk
We're not the fancy folk
we don't always keep ourselves clean
we arnt the fancy folk
but hey we aint mean
we're a little rough round
we dont have the best of manners
maybe a bit too loud
but we mean well and good
we know how to make fun feel like it should
we don't always keep ourselves clean
we arnt the fancy folk
but hey we aint mean
we're a little rough round
we dont have the best of manners
maybe a bit too loud
but we mean well and good
we know how to make fun feel like it should

Mother
When mother was a nurturing word
when mother was a foreign word
when mother was a first word
when mother was a scary word
When mother was a gentle word
when mother was a warning word
when mother was a desirable word
when mother was a confused word
when mother was a longing word
when mother was a curious word
when mother was a safe word
when mother was a hated word
When mother was a hopeful word
When mother was a questionable word
When mother was a relieving word
when mother was a frustrating word
When mother was a caring word...

The battle
What do you want from me
I’m hurt enough
it’s time you set me free
I’m so tired of theses chains
sick of running
Too fed up with your games
I’m done holding your knife
You don’t own me
Hear me this is MY LIFE
“But now listen here” you say
“I love you
no one else cares that way”
With your point to be made
You whispered
You urged and gave the blade
Binds tighten on my wrist
I go numb
Can’t fight the thoughts you twist
Blood boils and and bubbles out
with anger and sham
I...

Fame
five minutes left my time ticks down
breathe and turn glance round and round
typing and printing scratching and scrawling
my thoughts moving strutting limping crawling
they make their way from my uninspired heart
fighting the realism and actualities that tear dreams apart
Almost time almost the end for my new mental battle game
time to reveal my piece to gain deserved an unspoken fame
breathe and turn glance round and round

they make their way from my uninspired heart

A draft for fictional narrative (based off true events and written as a journal)
Memories 10:23 pm
It’s funny the things that stay in your mind. the little details and snippets of reality that stay sketched in your head against your desire and will. For example despite how hard I try to forget that day I can still close my eyes and see everything. I guess somethings make sense. like the way i can still feel the lashings on my back or the rocks and sticks hitting my head, that’s not something you just forget right away. but there are other things from that day, things like the orange painted walls and sombreros that hung on them. I remember it was an oddly colorful...

Broken Lovers
maybe I'm a little crazy
just a tad insane
because i like the abuse
I love the pain
bend and break me
rip up my heart
shatter my soul
tear me apart
I want to feel everything
push my buttons right
strangle my will
make me put up a fight
I know its dangerous
this little game we play
for a rush I'll risk my mind
still it's a price I'll pay
I want to burn
I want bear your scar
kick me down
push me too far
So hit me with all you've got
cut me make me bleed
pretend you care
make...

Minds Melody
so here I am.
I’m standing on the edge
flirting with death
with nothing but my thoughts
and minds melody.
swinging swaying
I’m wondering,
if I jumped would they say I fell?
it’s a simple question that deserves a simple answer.
just a yes or just a no.
that's all I need,
to stay to go.
so here I am again.
I’m dangling my legs over the side
dabbing my feet in and out of the water,
here again with my thoughts and minds melody.
dipping splashing
I’m wondering
if i dive now would they say i drowned?
can you...

I f**king Hate You
I don't know what to say anymore
You were always here
You were always mine
But now I'm walking out the door
And yes, I remember the vow
I would never leave you
I could never hate you
But I guess I'm breaking them now
I suppose I'm just going mad
We burned out too fast
We never had a chance
But, remember the dreams we had
And I guess you don't really care
Those days are over now
Pointless to hold on
But I still want you here, not there
So what, I know it isn't true
It's far from the facts
It's denials...

Mistakes
Standing here
thinking plotting scheming
I'm standing here seeing my every flaw.
the chips in my jewelry and nails
the constant reminders and fails
the eyeliner that smears out of place
the tears that steal down my face
all my clothes too big, too small.
so many mishaps, and I see them all
every spot every wrinkle
every shirt crinkle
every little mistake
every bad smile I fake
the stands of hair that hang too low
the pale skin that tends to show
I see the scars I drew
I wonder how I never knew
every little crooked stitch...
