I've lived a life of horror and disarray, I always feel empty and out of place.
You call me Lesbian I say, yes I am You call me Gay I say, yes I am You call me Bi-sexual I say, yes I am You call me Transgender I say, yes I am It doesn't matter what you call me It doesn't matter what you think you will not change who I am I am who I am

5/4/15
I shall tread, another year, Ways I walked with Grief, Past the dry, ungarnered ear And the brittle leaf. I shall stand, a year apart, Wondering, and shy, Thinking, "Here she broke her heart; Here she pled to die." I shall hear the pheasants call, And the raucous geese; Down these ways, another Fall, I shall walk with Peace. But the pretty path I trod Hand-in-hand with Love-- Underfoot, the nascent sod, Brave young boughs above, And the stripes of ribbon grass By the curling way-- I shall never dare to pass To my dying day.

Paths
The things I never told you I'd like to tell you now, of feelings held contentedly inside my heart to swell; of thoughts and dreams, wants and happiness too; a mother's prayer to finally share with you... Lord, govern their lives as you have mine, touch them with your sweet divine, make them happy, guide their paths, tickle their funny bones, let me hear their laughs. Dry the tears sliding down their faces, hold their hands when the love heart races, make them stand tall when the burdens are great, prepare them to carry the loads of fate. Heal the hurts and sufferings of the spirit, make them listen until they hear it; that sweet song of yours that will touch their soul and carry them forward until they are old. Lord, let them see the meaning of life, protect them from the evils of strife, gently guide them in the path of your ways, I pray, Lord, I pray for them everyday. I know, Lord, that I fell short many times; in my guidance as "Mom" there were crimes, times that I failed to help them see the beauty that you have bestowed around me. Take their hands and lead them forward, give them strength to avoid the coward and evil ones that lurk about, waiting to swallow them up and shout the conquest of their gentle soul, provide them the coin to pass the toll. Please make things right, Lord, once again, help them to see the meaning of friend, loved ones that hold them close to the heart, a mother that loves them, never apart. AMEN!!!

A Mother's Prayer For Her Children
Dreams don't seem to come true, I found this out because of you, Life seems so much harder when I'm awake. My mind slips off to nowhere, My eyes are caught in a blank stare, How long do you think this will take? Cause my mind is caught in another world filled with hopes and lost dreams, I know I'll never have you, But I might in the mind of another world where no one can hear our screams. You had a different story everyday, I watched our love drift away, And it was clear I couldn't make you stay. I'm all alone and miserable, I feel so lost without you, My heart don't know what to do, But day by day it cries for you.

SHATTERED DREAMS
You should be here with me My heart is as empty as the side of the bed that you used to sleep on And my life's crashing harder than the waves on the shore like when you first kissed me And I'm falling harder and faster into loneliness than I was when I fell for you And I know there's no stopping this But you should be next to me Kissing each freckle on my arm and tracing "I love you" into my palm because each letter deserved it's own recognition for it made up a larger picture And you should be next to me With my head leaning onto the very shoulder I spent entire nights crying into You should be beside me But I guess this was all besides the point And now you're next in line for a new girl I just wish you would give me a next chance

Come Closer
My world is not of the written word It cannot be numbered held captive on a so called page My world is liquid as sea , rain , snow or ice It can be hot , cold , or entice My world is cloudy It thunders after it flashes light My world is wrong , my world is right There are no words that bind my life I won't be delegated to exist in the black on white I will not be staved by the limited sways of the written words upon the page
