power of investment
he used to tell me...when it comes to love
the one least invested has the most power
I resented it at the time
it made me so angry...
...so hurt
guess that shows where I fell in our equation...
in the end...turns out he was right
truth is...love is only as real as we allow it
and not everyone has the same capacity
...translation...
...or the will
but my mushy heart will gleefully fall
regardless of how unlikely it may turn out
because I feel most alive when I'm giving
when the glow warms my entire...

Behind Yinsel
just let go
all the pain in you
watch the blood
flow like a flood
the festive tints
over bloody footprints
circles of red
be careful where you tread
no more feeling
little actual healing
this invisible entity
has hit the limit of eternity
red alert
it's a dead cert
i think of death
with each breath
all the pain in you
watch the blood
flow like a flood
the festive tints
over bloody footprints
circles of red
be careful where you tread
no more feeling
little actual healing
this invisible entity
has hit the limit of eternity
red alert
it's a dead cert
i think of death
with each breath

Your Life
Does not define me
When you
Place the limitations
Of your life on mine
And I walk away
Your loss
Not mine
When you
Place the limitations
Of your life on mine
And I walk away
Your loss
Not mine

If You Had to Walk in These Shoes
Would you falter, I wonder
Stumble as I have
Only to pick yourself up
Dust off your mistakes
And soldier on
Would you be ashamed, I wonder
As you realize
You could have done much better
But chose not too
When you took the easy way out
Leaving the work to others
Would you hide, I wonder
From a world you were unprepared for
Communication not a staple
Understanding foreign
As you shuffle from bad decision to bad decision
Constantly seeking validation
Would you learn to thrive,...

value of intentions
I don't know whether to feel proud of myself
...or ashamed
I worked so hard all those years
masking to hide my pain
protecting her from the knowledge
so perfectly she never suspected
and now that it's come to the surface
she's asking me tough questions
and I can see the hurt in her eyes
that I suffered & kept it so quiet
but it was imperative to me she live her life unaffected
as normal as could be expected
never thinking how moods & occasional withdrawing might affect her
it was just the 2 of us for so much of her...

Dark Motivations
Don’t let this defeat you
Whatever it was that crawled out of your past
Don’t let it get a hold of you
Whatever it was that rose from the stack
The polluted air won’t let you rest
Don’t let it fill your boots
Like a bog
Slowly rising in the rain
Don’t let this defeat you
This cell door
This hospital bed
Don’t let it take you
Down the spiral stair
Don’t let it defeat you
Whatever it was with eyes
Shinning out of the dark
At the end of the sewer
Don’t let it defeat you
This family...

The Empress's New Cloths
I wonder how we'd fare
if we had no more cloths to wear
stripped naked of the images
we see in the mirror
donning hate like a cape
and no more pride to hide behind
plus, jealousy is the new black
Well,
there's one thing that's certain
my soul will still be wearing
a pair mismatched socks
God can take the rest
but I draw the line
at having cold feet in heaven
you can't have my toasty toe sweaters
if we had no more cloths to wear
stripped naked of the images
we see in the mirror
donning hate like a cape
and no more pride to hide behind
plus, jealousy is the new black
Well,
there's one thing that's certain
my soul will still be wearing
a pair mismatched socks
God can take the rest
but I draw the line
at having cold feet in heaven
you can't have my toasty toe sweaters

I Am More
When will I be enough for myself
When will I let go of all my regrets
I am not my mistakes anymore
I am not defined by my regrets anymore
I am more
More forgiving
More loving
More caring
I am more of a human than those who hurt me
I was given my life to be more
I have more regrets
I have more mistakes
But I have more strength than the common person
I am worth so much more
God chose me to handle more
When will I let go of all my regrets
I am not my mistakes anymore
I am not defined by my regrets anymore
I am more
More forgiving
More loving
More caring
I am more of a human than those who hurt me
I was given my life to be more
I have more regrets
I have more mistakes
But I have more strength than the common person
I am worth so much more
God chose me to handle more

Whispers of Strength: A Dream's Guidance
In the heart of my tale, a chapter unwritten,
Of shadows from kin and peers, harshly smitten.
Yet a dream, under moon’s gentle gleam,
Whispered wisdom, a flowing stream.
Hear your soul, its silent plea,
For in its whispers, you shall be free.
Challenge not the dreams that guide,
Lest harsh lessons in shadows hide.
No name shall I give, nor face single out,
For my strength, they do not hold, not a shred of doubt.
Time, the revealer, in its endless march,
Proves wrong the hate, under heaven's arch.
Gratitude fills me, for lessons...
Of shadows from kin and peers, harshly smitten.
Yet a dream, under moon’s gentle gleam,
Whispered wisdom, a flowing stream.
Hear your soul, its silent plea,
For in its whispers, you shall be free.
Challenge not the dreams that guide,
Lest harsh lessons in shadows hide.
No name shall I give, nor face single out,
For my strength, they do not hold, not a shred of doubt.
Time, the revealer, in its endless march,
Proves wrong the hate, under heaven's arch.
Gratitude fills me, for lessons...

Killer Heels (worn by my alter ego)
Vain statements they just lie in wait
Proclaimed platforms doubled as a pair
Their audaciousness won’t hesitate
Firey steps the wearer dares.
Bring power as you strike a pose!
Raised expectations, as your worlds a stage
Makes you walk with a brandished vouge.
For their effect can’t be assuaged
An elevation that is not just physical
From the ground floor up, on the radar
For their effect are somehow mythical
Brave Foothold for the shining crusader
Skyscraper heels make the ego fly
Her red soles by...

My love
Now I know why we did not meet
My love
I wanted to fly high
You wanted to be a lizard on surface.
My love
I wanted to fly high
You wanted to be a lizard on surface.
