IT IS THE PAST
They say that one's past can make you or break you but then if that's true, then how does one change their future if one continues to dwell within the depth of the past, and continues to accept that their past is the future. It's easy as mathematics adding and subtracting, for one must subconsciously clear your thoughts, even if it means you have to close many of still open doors that should of been closed long ago, even if it means to learn how to forgive them as well as thyself. For we can't continue to keep reliving in the past, with its hurt and pain and suffering along with heartaches,...

You Destroyed Me
A devastating storm you were
Hurricane Katrina on a warpath
Leaving no stone unturned
Incommunicado for weeks on end
Only breaking the silent pause
To spew words, acidic enough
To wipe off, corrode and disintegrate
My sanity, my identity and my being
Leaving me a shell of my former self
A reincarnation of Narcissus you were
A Greek Mythology in modern times
Concealing your true intentions
Of spite and contempt
But a rising Phoenix I am
Surrounded by the Amazons
My strengths and pillars
Stitching...
Hurricane Katrina on a warpath
Leaving no stone unturned
Incommunicado for weeks on end
Only breaking the silent pause
To spew words, acidic enough
To wipe off, corrode and disintegrate
My sanity, my identity and my being
Leaving me a shell of my former self
A reincarnation of Narcissus you were
A Greek Mythology in modern times
Concealing your true intentions
Of spite and contempt
But a rising Phoenix I am
Surrounded by the Amazons
My strengths and pillars
Stitching...

I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I tried I really did
I wanted to be loved and I was pushed away
I wanted to talk but you didnt care what I had to say
You will always have a special place in me
Yet I struggle to find a happy memory
Our paths crossed over then lead separate ways
The pain will last until the end of days
I wish you no harm I wish you all the best
Guess we just couldn't pass this test
I'm not blaming you oh fuck alot was me
This isnt how things was supposed to be
Smash your goals and achieve your dreams
I hope the limelight is all the seams ...
I wanted to be loved and I was pushed away
I wanted to talk but you didnt care what I had to say
You will always have a special place in me
Yet I struggle to find a happy memory
Our paths crossed over then lead separate ways
The pain will last until the end of days
I wish you no harm I wish you all the best
Guess we just couldn't pass this test
I'm not blaming you oh fuck alot was me
This isnt how things was supposed to be
Smash your goals and achieve your dreams
I hope the limelight is all the seams ...

Traveler's song
I've traveled many miles child
and still have far to go
I've stumbled on through desert heat
and blizzards white with snow
but there's a rule I follow
no matter where I go
Never ever look back child
regret is your fiercest foe
and still have far to go
I've stumbled on through desert heat
and blizzards white with snow
but there's a rule I follow
no matter where I go
Never ever look back child
regret is your fiercest foe

I Have Travelled the World
A dreamer stole your heart a year ago.
You told me goodbye and ran off with him.
But I know that in time he will leave you.
And you will surely regret your decision.
You will have to face the heartache,
However unbearable things may get.
When you look at the ring in the casket,
You will remember our warm love.
Flo, I have travelled the world since you left.
I went to Paris to see the Eiffel Tower.
I walked along the busy streets in London.
And I toured the botanical parks in Peru.
Every month I go from port to...
You told me goodbye and ran off with him.
But I know that in time he will leave you.
And you will surely regret your decision.
You will have to face the heartache,
However unbearable things may get.
When you look at the ring in the casket,
You will remember our warm love.
Flo, I have travelled the world since you left.
I went to Paris to see the Eiffel Tower.

And I toured the botanical parks in Peru.

should have been kinder
the weekly shop is at a big risk
to myself I enter the supermarket,
just like Androcles entered the arena
except, there is no grateful lion ..

Corduroy Blue
He sits on a shelf,
Away from everything else,
A momento that I can't get to.
I'd like to take him down,
Straighten his crown,
And tell him, "Oh bear, I still love you"
But my words will go unheard,
To think not, would be absurd,
Sad eyes in corduroy blue.
Why did I have to place you so high,
To be alone in the sky,
If the purpose was to protect you?
As the years go by,
I see that it was I,
I've been giving my protecting to.
Away from everything else,
A momento that I can't get to.
I'd like to take him down,
Straighten his crown,
And tell him, "Oh bear, I still love you"
But my words will go unheard,
To think not, would be absurd,
Sad eyes in corduroy blue.
Why did I have to place you so high,
To be alone in the sky,
If the purpose was to protect you?
As the years go by,
I see that it was I,
I've been giving my protecting to.

Broken Hearts
it broke her heart
he did something
stupid
insensitive and human
he apologized sincerely begged
for forgiveness she closed
the door in his face
two hearts broken

MISPLACEMENT OF THE HEART
Sometimes what we go through is preparing us to reach that next level of self control, and maturity of mind along with the growth and development of our self value and self worth. For that is the real reality of life as it truly is seen through open eyes, for each decision comes with a lesson we must learn to truly navigate through the twistes and turns of unwinding roads. That sometimes leads us to dimensions of the unknown, yet we must take into account and consider fact over nonfiction. As we ask thyself am I gonna be treated like the man or woman that I am, who deserves to be able to feel...

Earth scum.
I've achieved some great things throughout my life,
I've been in five local art shows, was an extra in an unreleased movie "Ninety-Nine Killer Clowns", and best of all, met the most perfect person I've ever had the pleasure to meet in my entire life,

Fly
Sometimes I wish I could fly
Fly away from all this shit
Away from the unforgiving pain
Away from all I want to forget
It gets unbearable
Unbelievable
Unrelenting
The pressure quickly builds up inside
It makes me question if I'm truly alive
Is there even a will to survive?
So many times I've tried
Too many times I've lied
No more pain
It's driving me insane
Don't want to stay
I want to fly away

WHERE IS FORGIVENESS?
WHERE IS FORGIVENESS?
My Lord, l'd sinned with her, and l confessed.
How can l know that she cofessed her sin?
I secured that l'd washed my dirt and gained
forgiveness but she did not wash her filth.
My Lord, l beg Your heart and kiss Your feet
to forgive her before You shrive my sins.
How can l push her into hell and l
feel content that my poor shrift is complete?
How can l think of self and forget her?
Can l attain the buoy and let her drown?
Regret can't be obtained through selfish steps.
Have pity on her first and...
