American Grew up in a rather ordinary town with friends not so ordinary. From hicks, to pricks; from lovers to stoners; from activists to those who'd rather kick back and watch the grass grow... they helped shape my world. I learn from them, and I love them as my family. We are the misfits of society who find our own niches in this world just as everyone else does to survive.
How is it that you can claim That you still love me? While all you do is blame…? I used to sit upon your knee As I cried; wrapped tightly in your arms. I still remember when you told me That a man is only as strong as his word And a promise is but a decree And I believed you… until I heard that you could not be there. Your reasoning was shallow Not a call on that day And for that you’re not callow Later you called but hung before I could say That I would have answered you Because you are my dad And I’ll always love you And remember the memories we once had But those are darkened too With the lies you told me You said there there’s only Two women you’d always love Me and your mom, so why am I so lonely? Oh yes because all you did was shove Me to the back burner when you found out You called me egotistic You called me immature But I’m not that simplistic At least not any more I’ve changed It is you who never hears It is you who stopped calling And have lost touch after the years That you have been recalling Who I was as a child I tried to tell you, That you are misguided But you couldn’t face that it’s true That your source of media is one sided It’s brain washing you. Yes, and you’re correct It takes maturity to hold dear Someone when you think their thought’s wrecked So then why have you not been here? When I needed you most?

Where were you?
Look inside and tell me what you see Do you see my broken heart, shattered dreams, Broken wings, blood stained soul and maybe Even chains clinking away? But it seems You don’t. How strange it is that you’re so blind To what is clear though deep inside. But it’s ok, cause I don’t mind I’m used to all this pain inside.

Do you see....?
Staring out a ***** window trying to see into your heart but unlike others you're not so clear, and it's tearing me apart knowing that I can't be near I want to be with you but you only push away I really need to know if you love me too so I can live happy some other day I don't want to be a burden I don't want to give you pain but every time I see you I can no longer get a word in and I'm sick of all this blame and I want to see you smile for when I'm with you I feel more than fine so no more crying against this cold tile and maybe in time you will see me in a new light and I'll end this little rhyme wanting to make everything right for I wont give up, I'm out for a fight I'm not a little weakling but though I try as I might I can only show but an inkling of how much I truly love you you're my inspiration my ray of sun shine and I'll admit that I lied for it's true it's more than just a crush, can you be mine?

Bleeding Heart
Falling, Falling, ever falling, the wind around me's howling. Please take this key and place it by my knee So that I can be released from this cage. For all that exists is hate and rage in my falling cage.

Falling Cage
You call me an angel sent down to thee I've secretly hated everyone... even me My heart is cold my wings tainted My life is filled with lies, painted With a halo stained with hate and wings of lust, perhaps it's fate? Yet here you stand with loving eyes Not fully seeing behind all lies My heart is cold, my wings tainted My lies are what made my world painted I have no room for you You know it's true yet you stand there in a daze as I stand before you with eyes a blaze My wings are black with tips dyed red This darkness you have long since dread Yet even still you touched my soul And now I see I am not yet whole A piece is missing, long since gone I fall to my knees and weep till dawn These tears have not been shed for some time Not since my etching pain was at it's prime My heart was cold, wings tainted Less lies are making my world painted You wipe away my tear and smile down I look up at you and don't make a sound You melted my heart and saved my soul And now I feel that I'm more whole These wounds will never heal I shall forever keep my life real All because of some one who believed now I can live my life relieved

Tainted Angel
Hush *** I love you and long for your embrace. Your gentle touch, your lovely coo the intensity as you trace my spine with your fingers and smile as I shiver at your touch. I am yours alone as your kiss lingers on my lips, which makes me yearn for you so much. Yet the world is between us, so much time setting us apart. but this love-- this lust I have for you is embedded in my heart. Hush babe, I love you. Saya cintai mu.

I'm not your little wall flower Someone to look at who will never respond. I will never be society's doll Or play the part you gave me. I will never sit in acquiescence Or mumble thanks to your criticism. I refuse to respect those who don't respect me My mind My body My sexuality I refuse to wait in silence Yet I wait Wait Wait For the time when I can strike Scream Make you listen! I will not be binary Life never was meant to be black or white Or to even make sense. I will help my brothers and sisters To tear the thread of hate from their lips. The thread YOU had sewn on And with ****** lips, we'll speak the truth. The truth you wished to silence. We shall heal from your oppression And rise Rise Rise above And tear down these walls That you placed up to hide from reality. We will scrape down those walls And with ****** hands, reach for you Grab you and embrace you. Let you escape from your fear, your hate Your internalized pain You can no longer ignore our cries Of pain, Sorrow, And fear.
