POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Final Act
I no longer think
But act
Its a complicated play
I've written
Is the final act about to close
Or is there more to see?
No eye contact now
Or I will break
And the play will be gone
The curtains drawn
And they will see
Its not a play
But reality
And the figure
On the stage
Is really me.

Its not a play
But reality
And the figure
On the stage
Is really me.

Daddy
I'm not ready for your goodbye
Nor so long or see you later
I'm not ready for the end.
Not ready for this reality.
I'm not ready for this life.
One without you in it.
I'm not ready for your goodbye.
Maybe someone else's.
Anyone else's.
Just not yours, never ever yours
Death doesn't become you
It isn't your best color
Please remind me your indestructible
Just like we always believed
Please tell me Daddy
You will always be my best friend
Tell me you will never leave me
And you will be here till the end ...
Nor so long or see you later

Anyone else's.
Just not yours, never ever yours
Death doesn't become you
It isn't your best color
Please remind me your indestructible
Just like we always believed
Please tell me Daddy
You will always be my best friend
Tell me you will never leave me
And you will be here till the end ...

Look At Me
You brought me to my knees
I'm not as strong as I used to be.
Where once there was confidence
Now there is only defense.
I'm the enemy in your eyes
I'm captured in this web of lies.
I sit alone without a prayer
My body shakes with despair.
You've taken from me all you can take
And made sure I paid for each mistake.
You watch me sit in total fear
And laugh at each and every tear.
As I lean against this giant wall
I pray that God will take my call.
You tell the world of all my faults
And now you win by...

Mama
Mama, why am I so alone?
I can't go outside
I'm scared I might not make it home.
I'm alive
But I'm sinking.
I've been here before
But I deserve a little more.
Mama, why are they lying?
When I think of heaven
I think of dying.
Please help me ...
I'm falling
Sinking.
Believe in me
Help me believe in me.
I want to be someone who believes
Mama, can't you see?
I can't go outside
I'm scared I might not make it home.
I'm alive
But I'm sinking.
I've been here before
But I deserve a little more.
Mama, why are they lying?
When I think of heaven
I think of dying.
Please help me ...
I'm falling
Sinking.
Believe in me
Help me believe in me.
I want to be someone who believes
Mama, can't you see?

Don't You Know ?
I whisper your name.
Can you feel my heart broken
Can you see my tears flowing
Can you hear my soul shouting?
I wonder if you ever think of me
Do you ever dream of me?
Do you ever cry out for me
Alone, in the dark, at night?
Dont you miss me?
Don't you need me?
Don't you love me?
Don't you know ...
A child needs her mama
And mama needs her Brandi Lee.
Can you feel my heart broken
Can you see my tears flowing
Can you hear my soul shouting?
I wonder if you ever think of me
Do you ever dream of me?
Do you ever cry out for me
Alone, in the dark, at night?
Dont you miss me?
Don't you need me?
Don't you love me?
Don't you know ...
A child needs her mama
And mama needs her Brandi Lee.

Best Friend - Worst Enemy
I found a new friend today
A friend to take my fears away.
It is a friend that you must buy
It has a name - it's called a high.
It seems to be the latest style
" You're welcome here , let's smoke awhile. "
It turns me loose , it sets me free
From the dullness of reality.
But sometimes though I start to wonder
Does it lift me up or drag me under?
The fears it took were only hidden
And feelings seem to be forbidden.
Now my friend has turned on me
And thus become my enemy.
I think about the price I pay
And go get high...
