True Unconditional Love
Sitting on my porch this morning.
Thinking bout all You have done for me.
I close my eyes,
And picture the spikes going through Your hands,
Then Your feet.
A vision of Your blood dripping down Your face,
I can almost hear Your cries. A shutter goes up my spine as I choke back the tears.
My mind warns me to leave this place,
But my heart says,
No stay here and feel His pain.
Stay here.
This is true unconditional love,
And everything you seek.
Stay here.
This is grace.

Now
Now that everything is gone.
Now that I have nothing left.
Now that I've been damaged.
Now that i feel defeated.
Now that I finally gave up.
Now that I have no where to go.
Now after you made sure I had nothing.
Now that you made sure I had no one.
Now after you have destroyed everything I worked hard for.
Now you want to start your life and leave me on the streets.
Now I finally hear excitement in your voice about the future.
Now, just like before, I will have to shove these...
Now that I have nothing left.
Now that I've been damaged.
Now that i feel defeated.
Now that I finally gave up.
Now that I have no where to go.
Now after you made sure I had nothing.
Now that you made sure I had no one.
Now after you have destroyed everything I worked hard for.
Now you want to start your life and leave me on the streets.
Now I finally hear excitement in your voice about the future.
Now, just like before, I will have to shove these...

Dramatic???
You think I'm being dramatic?
You, the one who cried and screamed in my arms,
While your whole world crumbled to the ground.
Pleading with God to take your agony away.
Only to watch you run back to the demon that warped you.
You think I'm being dramatic?
You, the one that keeps running back to your toxic lover.
Knowing there's no real love to be found.
Just a broken jaw and devastated heart.
With endless fights and paranoid nights.
You think I'm being dramatic?
I took my feelings, my pain, my heartache,
And violently shoved it down...
You, the one who cried and screamed in my arms,

Seed
You planted a seed of hate in my heart.
But I am the one who nurtured it.

Through the looking glass...
My son goes to prison in 5 days... Everyone sees the man who steals and uses heroin and fetty...
I see the sweet, gentle, loving boy I raised.
When I visit him in jail, behind the looking glass is not that man you see.
To me it's that 10 year old boy who sang "beautiful" by eminem when I was having a bad day. I see the 5 year old who started climbing cliffs on camping trips while I held my breath, I see the 12 year old who loved to bmx and was an amazing parkour, I see the 9 year old who was filled with excitement when he got to meet mike row from dirty jobs and...

Thank You
I want to thank you for raising me.
I know you could have pushed me to the side,
And did things like all the other kids did.
I want to thank you for practicing wrestling moves on me.
It taught me how to defend myself.
That's why the streets didn't conquer me.
I want to thank you stepping in and taking moms place,
When I was scared and had nightmares.
You were always there to fight off my demons.
I want to thank you for teaching me,
How to open our hidden Christmas presents,
And wrapping them back up, ...

Attention all shoppers....
Okay here we go, let us speak about the white elephants in the game of life.
Pay close attention to what I have to say to you tonight, it may relate to you.
Do you ever feel picked on, maybe teased or a sense of self worthlessness for no reason at all? Me, too!
Have you ever wondered what was making you feel this way?
Well I’m here today to tell you my theory on the subject, it’s just my opinion,
Take it anyway you want to, but remember… you choose to keep reading this, I didn’t force this on you!
If you disagree with my...

Train tracks
Damn, here we go again...
I know this all too well.
I don't want to do this.
I can't watch you destroy yourself again.
I'm trapped in this bitter hell,
This unforgiving prison.
With no hope of being set free.
These are your choices,
But we both pay the consequences.
This cross is to much to bare.
Paralyzed with anxiety,
Heartbroken and shattered,
Greif strickened,
Drowning with fear,
Mourning you,
As you wither away.
There nothing I can do to save you,
All I can do is watch as you play on the train...
I know this all too well.
I don't want to do this.
I can't watch you destroy yourself again.
I'm trapped in this bitter hell,
This unforgiving prison.
With no hope of being set free.
These are your choices,
But we both pay the consequences.
This cross is to much to bare.
Paralyzed with anxiety,
Heartbroken and shattered,
Greif strickened,
Drowning with fear,
Mourning you,
As you wither away.
There nothing I can do to save you,
All I can do is watch as you play on the train...

More Than An Addict
I am more than just an addict.
Open your eyes and you'll see
Much more than the laws I've broken.
I am more than the drug that tries to conquere me.
Somewhere in here I am still me.
Look at what lies deep within.
Past my well created chamelon.
I am more than this addict you see.
I am more than a drug.
I am a daughter, a mother, a friend and a lover.
A christian, a writer and quiet the survivor.
Open your minds and see.
I am more than an addict.
More than a statistic,
more than a drug.
Somewhere inside...
Open your eyes and you'll see
Much more than the laws I've broken.
I am more than the drug that tries to conquere me.
Somewhere in here I am still me.
Look at what lies deep within.
Past my well created chamelon.
I am more than this addict you see.
I am more than a drug.
I am a daughter, a mother, a friend and a lover.
A christian, a writer and quiet the survivor.
Open your minds and see.
I am more than an addict.
More than a statistic,
more than a drug.
Somewhere inside...

A Brother Lost...
One night, one call, all lost.
Instant shock, heart stopped, breath gone.
Our family tree so painfully torn.
No, couldn’t be true… I knew.
Quick, hurry, rush. Have to leave, must go.
Arrive, open the door, pastor is here.
He wants to sit and talk.
Don't want to sit, are you crazy?
Leave me be, let me see.
(Thinking to myself) It's okay, I can fix him.
Not to worry, he will be alright.
Watch I can wake him up, just give me the chance.
Looking down at the body bag, I knew...
They say “Are you sure you want to see him.”
What!!...
