Everything I write about is a true experience from my life. Every word written with true and raw emotion. I love my life truly and completely, I am more different than anyone I know and it makes life a struggle but it makes me see how blessed I am to have made it from where I came from. They say you can't know love without pain - Then I truly know love. You can't know what you have until you have felt loss - I have a true appreciation for what I have. I have encountered the worst of men and the best of men and I am all the stronger for it. please leave your pity behind you. I just want to give hope to those who have and are enduring great tragedy and in that the face of triumph has a voice!!! I have a great passion for life and if you look close enough you will see honesty and compassion and empathy as well as love and joy and reflection. Thank you for taking time to share my world with me. Your comments and thoughts are welcomed. All work is officially copywrite material © 2009 DeeDee
Vengeance is for God to have, But today I lay religion down to rest The demon in my mind has been relentless, whispering at my behest He has been in his cage far too long, he is unyieldingly repressed I not only want to free him, I want to put his imagination to the test My mind's eye dark and searching, the corners of my sinister mind I have now become your worst fear and mine devils intertwined My mental and emotional state, has made the inhumanity refined I hate how you made me long for your pain, I am now your kind Your flesh is but a canvas and your screams will be to no avail You’re now mine, your soul will beg for mercy on the grandest scale I will assault your every sense, leaving no minute detail Until your body is lying lifeless, pointless, broken and frail I will take my time to revive you, bringing you back to my device There will be no amount of pain I inflict, that my heart will suffice Before I am done with your miserable existence, infliction so precise I will nourish every animalistic desire,until we felt you paid the price You have uprooted in my heart an evil, that cannot be undone The angel of death is upon you waiting, your suffering just begun There is a special place in hell for you and I want you to see it And if I burn with you for my revenge, then I say so be it Taking your pride, shoving it down your throat with my baron hands all that I can taste right now, what the voice in my head demands For you there is no more wasted life, your breath will let you endure And there is no second thought behind my vengeance, my hate is pure With deeds now done and lifeless you lay At my feet, which death did not show haste A smile without tears did appease my lust For your soul and blood that I did taste

Vengeance is Mine
Vengeance is for God to have, But today I lay religion down to rest The demon in my mind has been relentless, whispering at my behest He has been in his cage far too long, he is unyieldingly repressed I not only want to free him, I want to put his imagination to the test My mind's eye dark and searching, the corners of my sinister mind I have now become your worst fear and mine devils intertwined My mental and emotional state, has made the inhumanity refined I hate how you made me long for your pain, I am now your kind Your flesh is but a canvas and your screams will be to no avail You’re now mine, your soul will beg for mercy on the grandest scale I will assault your every sense, leaving no minute detail Until your body is lying lifeless, pointless, broken and frail I will take my time to revive you, bringing you back to my device There will be no amount of pain I inflict, that my heart will suffice Before I am done with your miserable existence, infliction so precise I will nourish every animalistic desire,until we felt you paid the price You have uprooted in my heart an evil, that cannot be undone The angel of death is upon you waiting, your suffering just begun There is a special place in hell for you and I want you to see it And if I burn with you for my revenge, then I say so be it Taking your pride, shoving it down your throat with my baron hands all that I can taste right now, what the voice in my head demands For you there is no more wasted life, your breath will let you endure And there is no second thought behind my vengeance, my hate is pure With deeds now done and lifeless you lay At my feet, which death did not show haste A smile without tears did appease my lust For your soul and blood that I did taste

The streets of the city held no peace this night The alleys held the smell of execution The lingering taste of gun powder filled the air And a bullet’s mark which held no retribution There is a somber atmosphere where Death and life hold a cold thickend embrace A twisted love affair of tainted blood Held an angel fallen from silenced grace I saw her little feet looking so blue and cold From behind the trash just beyond the bin What a frightening sound within this quiet night From the state of shock my heart was in She was only eight years old with many dreams Living on what her drug filled mom provided This ghetto, project housing filled with pain A spiritual war contains heaven and hell collided She had been missing for only a few short hours Not that her mom would have known or seen She was high on the feeling that pipe would give Empty hunger bought a life she didn't mean The man drug her to that alley ***** and killed her Where the city goes to die but never sleeps Now lays silent an innocent angel of lost humanity That her deadly silence now and forever keeps I will never forget her little feet so vacant and bare I wanted to cover her, wondering if she was cold I wondered if her mother knew that day It was her daughter’s precious life she sold I can’t fathom the mind of a person hurting a child These memories I carry have no consolation A man with a demon on his back together, working In their grizzly thoughts of premeditation I was only a passerby of the alley that chilled night I never knew her name, I never saw her face I only saw her wings upon the building As she left this cold and heartless place

The Alley
The streets of the city held no peace this night The alleys held the smell of execution The lingering taste of gun powder filled the air And a bullet’s mark which held no retribution There is a somber atmosphere where Death and life hold a cold thickend embrace A twisted love affair of tainted blood Held an angel fallen from silenced grace I saw her little feet looking so blue and cold From behind the trash just beyond the bin What a frightening sound within this quiet night From the state of shock my heart was in She was only eight years old with many dreams Living on what her drug filled mom provided This ghetto, project housing filled with pain A spiritual war contains heaven and hell collided She had been missing for only a few short hours Not that her mom would have known or seen She was high on the feeling that pipe would give Empty hunger bought a life she didn't mean The man drug her to that alley ***** and killed her Where the city goes to die but never sleeps Now lays silent an innocent angel of lost humanity That her deadly silence now and forever keeps I will never forget her little feet so vacant and bare I wanted to cover her, wondering if she was cold I wondered if her mother knew that day It was her daughter’s precious life she sold I can’t fathom the mind of a person hurting a child These memories I carry have no consolation A man with a demon on his back together, working In their grizzly thoughts of premeditation I was only a passerby of the alley that chilled night I never knew her name, I never saw her face I only saw her wings upon the building As she left this cold and heartless place

I t seems it was my fate to be Introduced to this addiction Born by way of bloods descent Mixed with generations past affliction I have watched them sink so lowly Into the depths of selfish little cracks Like burdens of un-human kind Carried on their children’s backs Feeding on the scraps in life Of those who struggle to survive They care not for a child’s grief When their addiction comes alive It passed me by with sorrowed grins Longing and obsessed by what it craved I watch in mourning as your gift Of any tomorrow was enslaved You took the food from our mouths To dine in the belly of the beast On our tears and misery you fed Addiction boasted of its feast All of you just wasted away Right before our haunted eyes The depravity of selfish want No longer wanted its disguise I left your addiction to starve Within its bowels I did divest IT chokes within my bitter heart While YOUR life he can digest I am sickened by the display of false fault of the perverse I won’t fall prey to your depravity or this ****** up family curse I know it’s lurking round every corner waiting for me to descend It's the shadow hounding at my feet and the cycle without end There’s a needle in my hand And a bottle of gin on the table I would smoke this entire bag of **** If my lungs were able There are lines drawn out across my mirror begging for my endless attention There are hundreds of little jagged pills That laugh at your impending intervention There is heaven here In this ecstasy and elation Making love to all these drugs Through oral copulation It’s not any one of these drugs That gives way to my endless contradiction I have found that escaping my pain Is my only true addiction

Descend Into Addiction
I t seems it was my fate to be Introduced to this addiction Born by way of bloods descent Mixed with generations past affliction I have watched them sink so lowly Into the depths of selfish little cracks Like burdens of un-human kind Carried on their children’s backs Feeding on the scraps in life Of those who struggle to survive They care not for a child’s grief When their addiction comes alive It passed me by with sorrowed grins Longing and obsessed by what it craved I watch in mourning as your gift Of any tomorrow was enslaved You took the food from our mouths To dine in the belly of the beast On our tears and misery you fed Addiction boasted of its feast All of you just wasted away Right before our haunted eyes The depravity of selfish want No longer wanted its disguise I left your addiction to starve Within its bowels I did divest IT chokes within my bitter heart While YOUR life he can digest I am sickened by the display of false fault of the perverse I won’t fall prey to your depravity or this ****** up family curse I know it’s lurking round every corner waiting for me to descend It's the shadow hounding at my feet and the cycle without end There’s a needle in my hand And a bottle of gin on the table I would smoke this entire bag of **** If my lungs were able There are lines drawn out across my mirror begging for my endless attention There are hundreds of little jagged pills That laugh at your impending intervention There is heaven here In this ecstasy and elation Making love to all these drugs Through oral copulation It’s not any one of these drugs That gives way to my endless contradiction I have found that escaping my pain Is my only true addiction

How vast and deep the oceans of my heart, My story holds great storms in winds of revelation And yet you still love me with open arms A generous smile and very little hesitation I would give my very soul if I could Only learn to love the way you do I would give in gently to your demands of truth If you could stop trying to fight your way through Into to the depths of ocean floors The sleeping blackness that hides leviathan eyes Holds monsters unknown of great despair That the stormy waters can only disguise A beautifully deadly creature Moves with grace and ease Holding to you with venomous words That your open arms could never appease I would use the clouds like devious cover Moving in and out of your mind as a stealth I would use the salty air that rusts my steely emotions To ravage your emotional and mental health This life has been a graveyard of great sunken vessels and ships This is the place where they go to die beneath waters that eclipse The stench of death carries to the predators of the waves The darkness with its blackened eyes retrieves the souls it craves Far beneath the waters brink of madness I look up to the shimmering light that dances If I could only breathe right now Like I do in your arms I would let my love surface and take my chances The emotions run deep in treacherous waters Who can control the flowing tides? If I used your affection to calm the imminent storms Would you forgive me for the hate that it hides? I built this ocean with tears of my past And before I knew it, everything around me was sinking I know you’re going to tell me you want me forever And I know everything you don’t say, that you are thinking I wish that I could love as openly as your arms are wide I just don’t have what your heart and soul would require I am destined to sail this ocean on the winds and waves I can’t live within the boundaries of your heart’s desire I was born with a taste for freedom and salty kisses on my lips Your kisses as sweet as your arms are open, deserving much more But my heart is as desolated and empty as this ghostly ship That accidently washed up on your shore

Shadows creep across the room And slip quietly into my dreams This is a world of pain and lies Where nothing is what it seems Your cold touch burns my skin I retreat into the safety of my mind A wall of blackened nothingness For my reality to hide behind I am alone in the dark with my thoughts But finding security eludes me I am trying to escape the pain As a defense that secludes me Here in the veil of darkness I don’t have to hide my shame I am forced to carry your burden When I am not the one to blame In your heart the demon lives And spreads through me like disease All you know is twisted and sick And your desire is never pleased This sickness you have given me I can’t yet find a way to control I can only close my heart and retreat From the light that your hands stole In my heart of darkness and lies Is where your secret forever sleeps With all of the painful memories The unforgotten blackness keeps I am grown but still a child, locked away By your tormented life’s design Stolen innocence replaced with hate Your burdens now becoming mine I once trusted in my protectors And in the light that stole my eyes So I wouldn’t have to see the desolation That only distressed shadow can disguise Your voice is like the crow of death But you can’t reach me in this place No matter how dark my dreams become I can’t escape, the look set on your face You were sent to try and break me By distorting intended loves affection I won’t let you penetrate my safety In this place becoming loves rejection I so desperately tried to hide from you While laughter below abundantly creeps The smell of cherry cigars and cheap cologne Is the smell of death that my heart keeps The space was never large enough to hide me It gave way to light never covering my remains The sound of tears betray me once again And defeat from you is what my hiding gains You were so big and strong that my little hands Were no match for the coming fight So I retreated into the heart of darkness And pray for your remorse in mornings light What gain in such incredible defeat In the torture of a tiny human soul? What pleasure in the painful bliss? Of complete physical and mental control What unimaginable depths of darkness In your mind could find its way to me? What demons control your every move While my protecting light is has to flee? I try to make the words come out But there’s no one to hear my screams Locked away in the heart of darkness…. Shadows slip quietly into my dreams

Heart Of Darkness
Shadows creep across the room And slip quietly into my dreams This is a world of pain and lies Where nothing is what it seems Your cold touch burns my skin I retreat into the safety of my mind A wall of blackened nothingness For my reality to hide behind I am alone in the dark with my thoughts But finding security eludes me I am trying to escape the pain As a defense that secludes me Here in the veil of darkness I don’t have to hide my shame I am forced to carry your burden When I am not the one to blame In your heart the demon lives And spreads through me like disease All you know is twisted and sick And your desire is never pleased This sickness you have given me I can’t yet find a way to control I can only close my heart and retreat From the light that your hands stole In my heart of darkness and lies Is where your secret forever sleeps With all of the painful memories The unforgotten blackness keeps I am grown but still a child, locked away By your tormented life’s design Stolen innocence replaced with hate Your burdens now becoming mine I once trusted in my protectors And in the light that stole my eyes So I wouldn’t have to see the desolation That only distressed shadow can disguise Your voice is like the crow of death But you can’t reach me in this place No matter how dark my dreams become I can’t escape, the look set on your face You were sent to try and break me By distorting intended loves affection I won’t let you penetrate my safety In this place becoming loves rejection I so desperately tried to hide from you While laughter below abundantly creeps The smell of cherry cigars and cheap cologne Is the smell of death that my heart keeps The space was never large enough to hide me It gave way to light never covering my remains The sound of tears betray me once again And defeat from you is what my hiding gains You were so big and strong that my little hands Were no match for the coming fight So I retreated into the heart of darkness And pray for your remorse in mornings light What gain in such incredible defeat In the torture of a tiny human soul?

Capital gains where no love remains Welcome to the street Innocence withstanding life’s pains Life seeks out defeat Old souls born to young men to carry The weight of hate Lifeless bodies amassed in crack houses Death won’t wait A state of emergency is a nightly feat Selling your soul to shine Smiles mask the cycle of dysfunction Trying to hold what’s mine Hold the truth; hold a lie, anything at all Faith is all I contain Steal our hearts but not our minds light All that can remain Wailing sirens mimic the angel’s tears Crying into the night A gun’s cold embrace lacks regret once more No bullet can you fight Babies aware of darkness before their time Hopelessness abound Needle tracks and broken glass pipes Blindness is found In love with a the stench of it all, I stay Can’t leave just yet I want to pour out my soul and spread light Held to my regret

My Regret
The city streets call me by my name and I feel myself transforming The summers sweat and beasts regret, I taste my blood is warming Ghost of past and wicked outcasts, like locusts they come swarming Shrieking winds rest, in clouds possessed keep winters tears from balling These city streets know my name, I show no shame and I can hear them calling The wolf is preying, sneaky shadows conveying from depths of the city’s bowels The angels fleeing, to avoid seeing the stench of wolf’s breath as he growls Beneath your skin he slithers, the sun it slowly withers, closer now he howls Virus catches the lowly, disease creeps so slowly across the urban sprawling These city streets know me by my name, I like this game, I can hear them calling Death is on madness brinks, the psychosis it stinks and night is now unveiling The angel’s morn while bodies torn and I can hear their blaring sirens wailing Casualty in scales bring sin’s costly sales and the blinded fatality is unfailing Rumors of sinister presence known, the evil grown into darkness’ eyes entailing Immortal screams and failed daylight dreams, the devoured come a crawling The city knows me by name we are one in the same and I can hear her calling With my control now at bay, I can hear her say; your strength in my grasp is declining I overlook restless streets, my heart lifts as it beats and in this moment time defining Pavement becomes crowded ominous thoughts shrouded; captured by the golden lining Promise of my own demise, lost in heathen’s rise and her blood soaked teeth are shining She calls to me like a lover’s touch, entwined in lust, so much in love and I am now falling These city streets know me by name, we are one in the same and I run to her when she comes calling

Believe in what I am told or what I see This war is bitter and I aspire to be free Free from these shackles and discrimination Free from selective elimination We call our children mistakes so we can free ourselves of responsibility And our babies are dying in the streets while we accept no liability Governed by aggression it’s said that only the strong survive But instead of showing strength we only know hostility Creating a place where these demons thrive A Child’s innocence is used for selfish gain So mommy can get high and feel no pain A child that knows no love has no true perception of reality And the system has no love our children are lost on technicality Now your babies will have babies searching for the love that they lack They should have had love unconditional But instead they turn to crack Because their family has made it traditional There is nothing like the cries of a neglected child Mommy is too high to provide Taught too young to hold it all inside Poison their minds with ***** little secrets they are forced to hide Teach them to look for nothing and that’s all you will find Because that is all that’s left inside Fill their minds with worldly possessions Take what you can get despite the moral transgression Take God out of our schools because money is the new respect Craving only negative attention Because of the love they now reject First born to poverty and aware before their time Unable to provide life’s necessities They are pushed towards drug sales and crime Society will blame this transgression on lack of affection But really they are affected by lack of direction No money to feed the hungry and poor Our inspiration is music, TV, drugs, guns and war Poor because they have been dominated and oppressed Look away from those in distress Push us too regress Give to those who already have by taking from those who have less The only way to survive is to ****** hustle and deceive There is a better way of life But not a better way to make them believe A better way to teach us to accept this fate is what they crave A better way to give us the mentality of a slave Their methods of birth control created to control the minority We are now the majority They are scared to death we have become the priority Our people born of whips and chains and still left unbroken Fed our children’s sorrows from which we choke there are still too many truths left unspoken

She is standing at the door of a new home the state provided From place to place they throw her wherever budget has decided Too much, too little, too quiet, too honest, she talks too loud Too messy, too mouthy, too unfocused And her head whithin a cloud I am sure she looks pretty pitiful in her hand me down clothes Trying to look presentable to every new home she goes I hope they aren’t mean and definitely not too nice I thought my new dad was just friendly and for that misjudgement I paid a price Of course no one believes the mouthy child who always lies Just making the story sound better too much pain to disguise She is just a little girl lost and her lies scream out for attention Forget the bruises and lack of food that she forgot to mention No one really wants to know what I saw or what my daddy does No one wants to hear about mommy's drugs what she was doing or where I was Like little slaves to the strangers with rules sitting high and looking low It’s not like we can go complain there’s nowhere else for us to go New schools and no friends walk the halls, eyes to the floor In a few weeks it starts again friends don’t matter anymore They point and whisper with cruel intent because someone heard your tale Of the kid that no one wanted, which is pitifully dressed and frail Children can be so cruelly misinformed at times such as this But I am just a nameless face that no one will even miss I stopped unpacking my suit case so many months ago No matter how the time goes by my belongings never grow A few outfits, a few pictures and a book to write a thought A few mementos from home and a unicorn that my mom bought Anything more is just a waste of time and not worth all the fight Of remembering what you leave behind when they take you in the night No one wants to face the tears of the child you’re throwing away Maybe it was harder to look at their mirrors in the light of day 70 homes in 5 long years some with love and some without a word Some were nice and some paid a price for the little girl left unheard I spent my life with the sorrowed looks of those who knew my world And many times I heard the phrase such a lost and lonely little girl My mother filled her world with drugs and men I paid the highest cost In the end I gained my heart and soul then found everything she lost I grew up, took my head from the clouds and put my feet on the ground Went searching for the little girl I lost and love the woman that I found

I resolve myself to the hazy visions That my mind won’t let me recollect The idea that I have suffered through This violation, my mind wants to reject The expanse of darkness is deep As my emotions of pain are wide I fear my conscious would resign If this heinous act I did not hide I push it to the forgotten depths Where the evil in me, now sleeps I am determined to chain it there Cleaving to the defiant beast it keeps I wish to purge this pestilence in me That secretly grows strong in my mind I am forever probing for the stillness Of emotional health I cannot find Like a thief this monster steals me Drags me lifeless into the night Leaves me comatose with fear I am powerless and without flight I can only retreat into the blackness Escaping the fate of my despair I am drowning in my own anxiety My reality is now far beyond repair The disfigurement of my past hidden By the mask of a smile left engraved My road to hell filled with good intent With my blood & tears it’s been paved My waking hours are filled with space Denying me the comfort of disregard And into the night as the sun creeps My soul is now and forever scarred
