*loved by God / **Defined by the scriptures / ***the girl you think you know / ~no pretense, assuming along****
Sitting up, sunset peeps Relieving some tales I hope to retell Of fathers that fathered my eyes got to twitch at sore dumps and roadblocks their fate almost mine but fate's can be blessings For the best I have got. It's not father's day a normal day a-passing but I can't ignore a ruby let alone this Papa shining Of all fathers that had fathered My heart Twitch's on daily basis Love with wonders All surfacing Calming stories I go retelling Unending blessings and this I know My daddy is rare So glad to tell.

Papa
expected it sooner we are all made of clay chaff,dust too ***** to be clean I swallowed all guile hoping for good held on to shadows until this day my eyes flew open I stagger to stand it won't reoccur but I'm too weak to know expected it sooner my tears won't flow not even for joy that moment happened I took my stand the verdict so true I guess you'll doubt so sorry but its true the little girl has grown now words can't reform I'm sorry but its true I left fear behind at home with the maid now bye to you I say anything holding me is gone swept,crushed in anger and gone i'm finally free free to fly, to soar I knew all this since dawn but will this really last... i'm clay and I remember can I bear his piercing gaze?

ONE WING IN FLIGHT
When you entrust someone with something, anything, personal... What hurts most is When they use that part of you to strike you, As if it hadn't hurt you enough already. When you tell a person something, anything, personal... Expecting them to understand and Help you What hurts most is When they hear it all and don't understand When you are confused about something, anything personal... Confused so much that it hurts, And you feel like you need to tell someone, What hurts most is Holding it in What has the potential to hurt most is what you decide for yourself.

Eating deep, this green coloured skin I'm coloured, I was told I look real But chose green a reminder of me....unsmiley & mute Noisy with lines, in contest with me a life so battered it became the best a name handed me in the moment I didn't decide my favourite pastime Pain..... Healed in batches mostly by me Lifes turn held nothing .... except in my hands new hopes I held to ....but from my pocket it came, I'm responsible for all no captain or coach invincibility held hands only I knew nothing new grief as old as its name I guess this so boring So I do not say.

some things i do not say
Blessed hatred push me in As many more mourn my stand It's too high cliche controlling Confusing But I love it. It built me up, Gave me rules that changed my exsistence I might not follow through But the pang of guilt at deserting reminds me of my stand.... It gave me values Love, Life, and reasons for actions My words depend on it my appearance, actions and all It's not boring as they say But the excitement of growing pushes me on ***** *I might seem weird wacky Or brain washed but the courage to face each day my life has gotten Living by Grace bound by laws....*

SWEET SUICIDE
I wake this place up To bare my woes to the world letting youngster recover from health Giving guilt covered in laughter This job i'd gotten from d onset of time.... Treachery , piracy,poverty and purgatory. But this day I reawake Shake my conscience with warm milky drinks hold my hands by myself with myself forgiving past and present hurts reminding my self of the star in the dream the visions of light....made plain to me Will I let all this go? having hangover keepsakes of no worth? ******* grinds and grinding peace? Playing with hearts that look like flesh... as the woman in me reminds me Star-girl you rock .....don't give them a chance The wounds will heal and the scars you'll forget Overlook the pains Push through this bush The the road so bright is behind the ticket.......

NO LONGER ME
I am an independent person, I am not an add-on to your life. I am an independent person, I cannot have my freedom taken from me. I am an independent person, I will be who I want to be. I am an independent person, You cannot tell me, What I can and cannot be.

These days in doubt my sanity proven culled from my lovitude or should I say attitude maybe solitude 'cos I thought I was on guard Until fall I did without a thud, slowly the fade began until the voice stopped no more reprimands questions stopped conscience slept and I roared happy to soar then it returned Fear, pain, uncertainty and I retraced my steps not without scars for this haven we savoured with its perks and glints now hold ashes for me, us, I can't sit still without thinking of purity sold guard let down to lovitude's joy as sorrow flooded The wasted me I might not relate to this but I do translate it can I still sit in your arms without regrets of disappointments thrown of regrets without end for that moment this madness began.
