You Know I'm Right
I was waiting at a bus stop
This guy yelled some derogatory shit at me from his car
I shot him twice and ran back home
That was three years ago
I think I'm safe now
I used to be real paranoid about the whole thing as you can expect
I used to have dreams about the pigs coming into my room and hauling me off to prison
Nothing ever happened
Looking back at it now, I feel ok about it
I didn't know the guy, so I really don't care
I used to think that there was something wrong with me because I didn't feel guilty about it
You do what...

Sweetest mistake
Adjusting to the environment of greed and pride
I opened my arms to embrace everything as it is
Hoping my dreams would come true and my wings would open wide
Yet ive made alot of things that even i would puke
Ive taken every opportunity you even couldnt fathom
Though these mistakes are horrible as it looks
I would never forget for it is these things that made me
what i am
and these things gave me the foundation of what i am today
for these Sweetest mistakes made a better future of my every tomorrow.
I opened my arms to embrace everything as it is

King of Humility
Grateful coasting immaculate early dawn morning currents
gingerly blown wayward on daily life routines
Aloft to powerful graphic roars of hot air balloon thoughts
in colorful regal daybreak scenes serene
Gazing across magnificent woven wicker basket
beyond to dark volatile horizons cloaked in hunger of light
Days before easy living cursed livid night
wreak circumstance of sore scab estrange fights
Under siege walking familiar fog of destructive brimstone
carnivorous blades reign storms from foe
As bleak jagged paths on soles no one wished ...
gingerly blown wayward on daily life routines
Aloft to powerful graphic roars of hot air balloon thoughts
in colorful regal daybreak scenes serene
Gazing across magnificent woven wicker basket
beyond to dark volatile horizons cloaked in hunger of light
Days before easy living cursed livid night
wreak circumstance of sore scab estrange fights
Under siege walking familiar fog of destructive brimstone
carnivorous blades reign storms from foe
As bleak jagged paths on soles no one wished ...

& it still is...
this is my story
...not a human experience absolute
but it was never about food
or appetite...or lack thereof
it's imperative you understand
no...
it was much more than that
a desperate need for the one damn thing
sorely lacking in my life
something stolen before I knew it was needed
...or that it even existed
an elusive slippery kind of concept
information...without proof
& I could not comprehend...
...something I'd never had
so I created my own version
refusing to eat what I was...

Roads
Opens his arms to all the condemned
lays down his sword when overwhelmed
To puzzled and frail to comprehend
Rage fuelled agony all in his head
The now is his but the rest is lost again
A memory of laughter grazing his skin
Blood boiled in oil as he pretends
A parody of society now the 1%
Tired, boots laced up with no honor
A nostalgia from the past sad & somber
Sinking in his shame, red dagger, blue fire
Weights so heavy it crippled his posture
So..
when the world comes crashing down ...
lays down his sword when overwhelmed
To puzzled and frail to comprehend
Rage fuelled agony all in his head
The now is his but the rest is lost again
A memory of laughter grazing his skin
Blood boiled in oil as he pretends
A parody of society now the 1%
Tired, boots laced up with no honor
A nostalgia from the past sad & somber
Sinking in his shame, red dagger, blue fire
Weights so heavy it crippled his posture
So..

Living for
Who am i living for?
for you who wished me gone
You who beat me up
punished for what I've done
You who never cared
who wished I wasn't born
even if the skin healed up
young memories stay torn
Who am I living for?
for you who stabbed me in the back
So much for being a friend
when you jumped into the sack
Now you go around and say
go live your life without regret
for you it's so much easier
there's no betrayal to forget
Who am I living for?

recovery
recovery has bestowed
two gifts upon me
I neither experience
boredom or
loneliness
no approval can build
me
no disdain can break
me
I am my own best
friend
my own best
company
far too many people
running desperately
in circles
like gerbils on a
flaming wheel
like a gun turned
the wrong way
like a cure searching
for a disease
seeking an answer
that already
exist
but rejected for
it's...

I am my biggest Confidant
When I look in the mirror,
I say that I am her and she is me
A true goddess to the common eye, is a sight to see
Whether, it is my ebony skin, that shines with the help of the sun
To create the perfect overlay for me
Is it my almond shaped brown eyes that can put you into a deep hypnosis
When you look into them, it may even turn you into stone, no Medusa
I do not even have to do that much to seduce you
I got the curves that will never go out of the line
That the sculpting of my breasts are truly deemed other worldly...

Myself
I don’t really trust her.
She never keeps her promises true,
As if I'm unworthy of them.
She says promises
Should never be made
If they’re not going to be kept,
Yet she convinces me each time
With empty assurances
To trust her.
How can I when it’s already in tatters?
I don’t really respect her.
She never keeps her boundaries intact,
As if I'm unworthy of that.
She wants to protect me
When they’re crossed
With muted hints,
Yet she lets them be overstepped ...
She never keeps her promises true,
As if I'm unworthy of them.
She says promises
Should never be made
If they’re not going to be kept,
Yet she convinces me each time
With empty assurances
To trust her.
How can I when it’s already in tatters?
I don’t really respect her.
She never keeps her boundaries intact,
As if I'm unworthy of that.
She wants to protect me
When they’re crossed
With muted hints,
Yet she lets them be overstepped ...

My Pastime
When I see you hiding in a group.
Trying to convince me to,
Jump in the loop.
I feel like the forbidden fruit,
You'll never reach with all your troops.
Still I'm dangling, just to amuse.
Trying to convince me to,
Jump in the loop.

Faking It
They say fake it
Until you make it
So that's what I try to do
I tell myself things
That seem like lies to me
Is it just in my head?
Am I imagining things
When I look in the mirror?
I see stuff that's not there
And don't see the things that are
You said that
You've been through it
That you once felt the same
And that lying to yourself
Is just the best way
So if I repeat to myself
That I'm beautiful
Just the way I am
Will I ever believe it
Just like you say?
Until you make it
So that's what I try to do
I tell myself things
That seem like lies to me
Is it just in my head?
Am I imagining things
When I look in the mirror?
I see stuff that's not there
And don't see the things that are
You said that
You've been through it
That you once felt the same
And that lying to yourself
Is just the best way
So if I repeat to myself
That I'm beautiful
Just the way I am
Will I ever believe it
Just like you say?

The Little Steps
I was talking to my caseworker today. He encouraged me to write my story Free. And I did do that. And I ended up crying and thought finally! I'm releasing some emotions pent up in my body from years of repression and hiding away from myself.
I'm so thankful for him. He's a way better source than all these articles or videos saying the generic be positive speel. Because when I try to be positive, it ends up backfiring. I end up getting more mad that I'm saying something I honestly don't believe and end up hurting myself.
