As the rain leaps from the clouds
I sit here and I write
Pondering all the mistakes I've made and how to make them right
A breath of fresh air and the taste of the delicate mists from the splattering landing of the rain
Are just enough to ease my inner pain.

The ducks on the pond ruffle their feathers
The beauty of nature overcomes my craving for guilty pleasures
I sit and I listen to the rain and the water clash
The sound always comforting, however long it lasts
The night sky is charming as it sprinkles down gently with delight
My mind is clear and my soul feels right

Just to stare up at the sky and envision my dreams
You've got to love the little things
Astounding Sep 2013
Runaway, escape
Travel to a distant land
Do whatever makes you happy
Who cares if it's not planned

Jump on a plane
Catch the bus
Hitchhike, if you must

Be spontaneous
Let out a sigh
Leap
Let your freak flag fly

You could live without adventure
You could live a lie
You could live in vain
Anyone can
But why?

Why not shout til your heart's content
Why not live without having to pay the rent
Why struggle through the pointless, heavy burdens of existence
**Don't settle for the path of least resistance
Astounding Dec 2013
Whose fault is it?
There must be someone to blame
Should I blame myself?
Or start taking names?
For some reason I'm incapable of lending out my heart
Am I more afraid of rejection or of someone tearing it apart?
But what if those aren't the reasons either
Maybe there's a guard up that I need to shed
All I know is I seem to like men for a maximum of few days after we've been in bed
But once that third day comes, I'm as cold as ice
I stop returning calls and trying to be nice

Part of me feels disappointed
I want my money back
I thought *** was supposed to come with true love intact
Two naked bodies colliding
The smell of pheromones
Ah, the temperature is rising
The collision of our bones
The brain is producing chemicals
Pleasure is induced
There's scratching and there's biting
"Hello inner caveman, I don't think we've been introduced."

Maybe I'm not patient enough
Emotions take too long
You've got to find the right words
Pick the right songs..
Maybe bodies get too familiar
Curiosity has got this cat
Yeah, I can be promiscuous
I'm not afraid to wear that hat
A mere infatuation is the closest I've been to having my heart melt
And even then, I wasn't truly sure what I felt
Maybe I'm cold blooded
I chew them up and spit them out
Either way
I'll still be living with doubt.

Your breath freshens my air
Your image is perfect, if I may declare
How I love your sweet embrace
And to trace the curves around your face
You make my heart flutter like the wings of a humming bird
Your voice is the sweetest thing I've ever heard
Please don't leave or shy away
In this romance we must stay
In unison we fly through endless skies
No worries or cares
Just joyous sighs
A string tugs on my heart and leads to yours
I could gaze in your eyes for hours
You make me happy my sweet perfect love
Truly, you must be from the heavens above

Oh heart, your imagination is vast
Maybe someday love will come at last
Still lonely you stay
A caged bird yearning to get away
To escape the bars of the present
And travel to a future more pleasant
Where love is eternal and true
Where I won't have to watch love from a distant view.

It’s been a long time coming to face up to myself and discover who I am
I’ve been pacing around being who I’m destined to be and I’m tired of fighting with fate
Who am I?

Long ago, I learned to play games with the relationships in my life
I learned by playing ISpy and not tell my finds
To be quiet cause I think I’m a little ****** in the head and I just don’t find majority the “coolest”
Making me an outcast but I revel in it and it’s the path my spirit chooses
I have Lalochezia
My heart hold nothing but love and the want to help
My brain, sometimes, chooses to live somewhere else
I wish to be friends with everyone
I think sometimes I try too hard
I make an *** of myself
People always use the First Impression Card
I care a lot about the people around me
Though as an Leo I’m very self centered

As a mother now I’ve learned that regardless of any situation I should hold myself to higher standards
So I work so hard to be up and better because of the worry of being seen as too slacked as a mother and I was raised that way
Perfection and silence won’t get you hit
If you do, he will be the perfect example of everything he wants me to do, just the opposite
I ponder that part of me that strives for perfection is the reason people stay away
I love all the different types of love in this world
I’m may even be in love with love you could say
I’m a hopeless romantic and a cynic
A Good Girl and a Rebel Next Door
I want nothing more than to be one with the universe and stars and live within it
I want the Ultimate Knowledge someday
I’ve learned it’s not my choice nor any other man’s the time I’m destined to go
I will be one will the Milky Way someday along with every other dead but shining soul
I am an old soul with a young spirit
I wanna dance naked with my husband when my kids are being babysat
I wanna provide my kids the world and spoil them just because I can
I want to explore and dig my toes in most every Country’s sand
I don’t emit the the façade that I think I’m better than I am
Because I don’t think I am
I know everywhere that I could possibly stand
I crave to meet people’s soul
Not their Sluggish Daily Mask
I know their are so many more out their like me or different
I relish that the opportunities are vast

I am a Judd Apatow Gypsy With An Wolfpack That Loves Love And Hates Societies “Norms” When It Comes To Humor And Morality
My goal is that when you look into my eyes you’ll see this woman typing is truly my reality
Astounding Mar 2014
I know you don't understand
I know that you tried
But I cant live in a world where I am expected to work until I die

I don't want to argue
And this isn't a debate
I will start my life, and no time will ever be too late

I don't want to be in history books
I don't want a mansion
I don't care about the newest trends
Or having the best sense of fashion

I want to be loved
And I want to explore
I don't see how that's a crime
I don't see how you cant take anymore

I'm not even old enough to legally enjoy a beer in my own country
But I am supposed to work a job I hate and somehow still feel free?
It's hard to explain the reality that I see through my own eyes
The world is beautiful and full of hello's and goodbye's
What is the rush?
Why must I move so fast?
You say you wont be here forever
But, you know, nothing lasts
So take your time
Take a deep breath and trust in me..
**You don't have to die to be set free.
Astounding Nov 2013
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.**

I know I can't change the color of my skin
I know I cant change that I'm human and will always sin
I know I may always have these scars on my body
I know I can't choose my family
I know I can't force love
I know you're watching from the heavens above
I can accept these things
I know I cant change them by any means

I know I can change my attitude about my life
I know this is only temporary strife
Although it sometimes cuts like a knife

I know I can choose my friends
I know I can choose when my journey ends
God grant me the courage to understand
If I reach up, will you take my hand?
Lord give me wisdom
Expand my mind
Show me the hidden treasures that I cannot find
Teach me of your ways
So I may have better days
You are my Lord
I know you'll never tell me no
If I have wisdom about anything
I know you'll always love me so
Astounding Dec 2013
I've been avoiding you on purpose
Because I dread you will know what I do
I have too many secrets
But I'm terrified of disappointing you
As you know I am Bipolar
This is hard for me to say
People misinterpret what it means
I fear rejection every day  
And when I'm manic, oh baby, I'm high
I have no limitations
**** the sky
When I'm depressed I weep and I scream
I don't do anything but think about my dream

What if I told you that I love the topic of ***?
That I crave a fellow soul who loves it just as much as me
What if I told you I ****** your ex?
A side of me you never thought you would never see
How would you feel if I told you I've never been in love?
Would you think its a lie?
Or the fact that every time I wake up I think of 1,000 Ways To Die
I write on the daily
But the words struggle to flow
Trying to figure out where every phrase and metaphor can go
Everything I've been doing lately feels like a fight
Have I told you about my scars?
Gosh, I'm such a delight
Do you know about the abuse?
Would you have helped me if you were there?
Or would you lie to me like that ***** who said I'd get in so much trouble
Do you really care?
Are friends really forever?
Are you even there?
I've been having such bad writer's block. I'm in need of something refreshing to write about. I have this dream, a dream that makes my heart flutter, but there are so many obstacles and they are consuming my mind..
Astounding Dec 2013
What is this feeling inside me?
I feel like I'm going to erupt
My stomachs bubbling and boiling
I think I may throw up
I love you more than words can describe
But something is holding me back
I think it may be you and the feelings you lack
Astounding Aug 2014
Steam rolled off the Earth's lush grass as the morning dew and the sky collided.
I walked barefoot through the field of blossoming trees, delighted.
Wet petals stuck to my feet and the chirping birds sang my hearts song to the breeze.
I made eye contact with you and smiled as the breeze knocked petals from the trees..
So much more delicate and feminine than falling leaves.

We take a step toward each other, suspicious and a little scared.
We take another, then stop; getting better prepared.
The air is full of shimmering specks,
The breeze, the sound of a Harp's strum.
My heart starts racing and my mind is suddenly struck dumb.

We take another step, and we are toe to toe.
You attach your hand to mine, a rush of euphoria washes over me and I know you'll never let it go.
We bring our lips together and the moment that they met,
Something happened that I'll never forget.

A spark ignited between us and engulf us into flames,
Our bodies turn to ashes and the wind swirls them 'round,
mixing them with petals into a neat pile on the ground.
Like a Phoenix, we rose again, in perfect health.
We are stronger, smarter, happier versions of ourselves.
Astounding Sep 2013
In the shadows of the land
There's weathered faces lined with pain
Their eyes burn
They can see the darkness in your soul

Banished to a shadow prison
The needle skips and spins
Turn off the dark
Remove this bed of pins

The walls are not thick enough to hold
The weight of what they've heard
There's a blaze of light
In every word

They say you took the name in vain
Do you even care to know the name
Living in your head
Growing insane

Waking up in cold sweats
Heart cast in the sea
Cant they hear your call?
Why wont they set you free?

Stuck inside these walls
The clock is barely breathing
Face against the window
They all look as if they're seething

Suppressed by childhood fears
All that's under the skin
Wondering how you got these scars
The future is looking grim

The stars all seem to weep
Nothing but dim shades of grey and blue
Little do you know
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
Astounding Dec 2020
Sitting pretty in a corner
Right next to a heater to get warmer
Waiting for the Sweet Absorber of Myself
I am my own Torturer
Counting each grain of Sand that passes through the inside of the HourGlass Land I’m living in and I’m chewing my tongue just waiting for a line
I check it off on my list as just killing time to get through this Mundane Life
I couldn’t have been more ready than when he walked into the room
He shut down, prepped the table, then pursued to crush his Crystal Cube
He made a line in the fine white powder on the tray right in front of my view
Smiled at me and said “take it, ****!”
My eyes started to tear, my nose got very tingly and then, and then..
ACHOO
Off of the tray and half of the table the ******* blew
In a snow-like cloud it drifted around as everybody gasped and out back into the air with the carbon monoxide they exhaled
They were surprisingly relaxed
I look up, still in tears, but this time they’re of sorrow
Because my blast got everyone high but me and I’ll have no money until tomorrow
I wouldn’t dare ask anyone to borrow for more due to the impression of the amount on the floor
Outstandingly, my Mate was cool
He said “I’ve got bags of this ****!”
But still sent me to the door
Kicking my own *** because I don’t think I’ll be getting more
Astounding Jan 2014
I've peered inside what my heart hides in It's cage now
I know that I've made many mistakes for my age, how?
I'm addicted to the touch, to the ****** and the sweat
Darling,
Moan
Would you still love me through all of my regret?
If I let you hold me close, if to you my heart I gave
Would you trust that you're the one I love?
Could I be the the one you want laid on top of your grave?

If I let you kiss my scars and let you occupy my heart
Would you accept the hurt and despair?
Love my soul, and mend all of my broken parts
Pleasure me when that vicious urge for a ****** lingers in my air

I've done some things for pleasure
I've done things to please
wet eyes
"Please, don't ignore me when I'm down on my knees!"
If you knew what it meant, If you knew how I feel
I'm here for you, I'm giving myself..
That deep stinging pain inside is real
Look me in the eye, hold my cheek
Kiss me hard because your knees are weak
And when I swallow both our satisfactions,
Do not question where I learned my actions

There is a past behind me,
I'ts pawing at my memories strands
Help me forget them
Help me warm my cold hands..
Tell me it doesn't matter,
That you have me now and that I'm enough
You want me forever, for me you are tough

When someone disrespects me, will you be there to set them straight
Defend my honor, even my curious past
Fight my battles with me, vow to me that we have a love that will last
Love me even though I think you never could
Give me a love you think I deserve, and for once dear God, let it be a love that is kind, encouraging, and understood.
Astounding Nov 2013
Its hard to be sure what you really want
One tiny mistake can illuminate everything you're not
The squeezing of your heart begins to take hold
Somehow you forgot everything you've been told

You look at the past and all you see is the troubles you've endured
You feel the need to escape them, so you have your pedal floored
But the more you repress the tighter the compression on your heart
For nobody truly knows you, and if they did, they would part
You always get thrown away, but you never change your tactics
Because in those moments, when someone thinks you a beautiful find, you feel ******* fantastic

You're a shuttle soaring from star to star
But mostly you live in darkness
Hopefully, someday, you'll be able to stop this..
Astounding Aug 2013
I hear a drum in the distance
Someone is calling my name
The voice is so familiar
And I can hear hints of pain

I journey a little closer
Wondering who I'd find
I arrive at a stone of mirrors
And I realize the voice is mine

Inside the stone is my past
Trapped in the reflection of the mirrors
The younger me is crying
For the decisions that she's made
Are the reasons that I'm dying

Still the drum beats on
The noise from a long hidden place
I realize that it's the beating of my heart
That I've long ago trapped in a steel safe

I hid the safe in the depths of my soul
A place I never thought it would survive
But as I look in the eyes of my past self
I realize this is also why she cries

She had so many dreams
A paradise she had planned
But she got clumsy
And it slipped out of her hands

I must free her
Or her burdens I will bare
I unlock the safe
And I shatter stone's mirrors

A black cloud emerges from the shattered glass
And I felt a weight lift from my soul
She is free a last
I can start to mend the empty holes

My heart is now weightless
It's beat peaceful as the stars
For the choice to be free
Has always been ours
Astounding Aug 2013
To me it's no big deal
Just another way of getting my heart to heal
It's no use
It always turns out to be a mistake
I'm ***** and tainted
But, then again, no ones a saint
How did I get so down hill?
The consequences of my actions don't seem real.
I lie and I cheat to get what I want
But the memories come back
And my dreams they haunt
The world is dim
My mind is grim
I know I'm always disappointing Him
And by Him I mean God
The only one who knows all
He lets me fall just to prove that he will help me up
And I will forever drink from his everlasting cup.

I haven't spoken to you in quite a while.
I know you know all I want to say.
You can read it on my heart.
But, I'll explain myself anyway.

I've made some terrible mistakes.
My mind's in such a spiral that I don't even know which way is up.
Maybe it's a good thing.
Maybe it's the way we were meant to be.

Even though I'm trapped,
I feel so free.

The bird inside me sings.
It realized it can fly.
Don't ask me how.
Don't ask me why.

You see Father,
There are some things that are better left unsaid.
Secrets between you and I.
Secrets I'll answer for when I'm dead.

You are my Lord.
And I thank you for your son.
Thank you for forgiving me for all the things I've done.
Astounding Apr 2014
I've become the girl my mother told me to avoid.
I'm the friend you shouldn't hangout with
The **** who can't say "no" to the boys
I make impulsive decisions
My demons and I are one..
I don't think of the consequences, only of the fun

I hurt people I love, simply by hurting myself
I admit I inhaled the drugs knowing what they would do to my health

And for some reason.. I was okay with it all
In that moment, I didn't care that I would eventually fall
I wanted the high, and I wanted the low
I wanted to scream it out!
I wanted you to know.
I wanted to say "*******!" for sleeping with my friend
I wanted to call you a liar and say "Never again."
I wanted to slap that smile off your face and watch you grovel on the floor..
I wanted to.. but I didn't, because I'm the one who is the *****.

I used to give others so much trust,
Believe in every promise they made.
But all the tears have turned my heart to rust
And all my compassion and loyalty is corroding away

Deep inside I feel the innocent girl I used to be
I cry for her, and she cries for me
I feel her reach out her hand into the darkness of my soul
And this time, instead of relying on someone else to grab it,
I'm gonna reach in and pull.
And when she emerges,
that beautiful, caring, loving dove
I'm gonna surround her with nothing but pure beauty and love.
Astounding Apr 2014
In the middle of nowhere, I call out your name
Hoping that the breeze will cradle my voice like a delicate whisper to your longing ears
I bow my head in shame
Wishing I could reverse the pain I've caused you over the years

My heart screams for you,
It tugs on the string that once connected us both
But there's so much slack..
And I'm afraid you may have already let go
Astounding Aug 2013
The moonlight on your face
Your sweet aroma in the air
The dirt finally settles
You dust off my hair
Our hearts are pounding
Our bodies covered with sweat
The way you felt inside me
Is something I'll never forget
Astounding Dec 2013
The feel of feathers on my skin is enough to drag me in,
Into the place where only you and I dwell
I dream of laughing with you
It kills me to know that dream can never come true
Without you the world I'm living in looks like hell
The eutony of your name brings tears to my eyes
I want to run my fingers through your hair
I reminisce on how we used to tease the other
Tickling and taunting one another
Now when I see people kissing all I can do is stare
When you left I went numb
Food was without taste
I felt like projecting any effort would be an utter waste

The kitchen sink is leaking
Water is dripping onto the floor
I'd ask you to fix it, but you're here no more
I remember how you used to kiss the tears as they ran down my cheeks
And the way you kissed me after you hadn't seen me in weeks
I hate that you're gone
But I'm happy I got to live some of my life with you
There's a love that remains and its a love that's true

Politicians and movie stars are playing ring a round the Rosie
Except their pockets aren’t full of Posey’s but the little nosey’s they’d steal from innocent minors
Every time One gets taken it’s like we set another timer and twiddle our thumbs until the next one goes off
Never really taking arms and saying enough is enough
The Good Fight will just have to be tough
Think I’m joking?
Try to call my bluff
Cause I’m about to huff and puff and blow all the ****’s away
Sorry ******* but none of the kiddies can come out to play today
If you put your hands on any of em’ I promise The Peacemaker will blow you away
I’ve had enough and there is nothing more needed to say
But I guess I’ll go in anyway

I mean look at the consequence
Molestation in children like a disease spreads because they give it to one another
Not understanding that what they are doing is sacred and not to be shared so young nor with a friend or an brother
Children should never be a lover
Sniff out all the predators whom are undercover

It’s time for a fire fight and it isn’t gonna be pretty
I’m going to avenge the spirits of the children you’ve harmed and their purity
I’m okay with being your victim so come and get a piece of me
I can take all the dark **** you think and see 10X that darkness radiating from me as I come at you with a mother ******* machete when I run out of ammo
I’ll put you six feet below and laugh while the worms eat you
Smile at the thought of your body being hollow and see-through
Why can’t you just be normal or get some help or off yourself so my life I don’t need to sacrifice
But the thought of a world without your existence is just too nice to pass up
This post has got me gassed up
Ship me today *******’s and I’ll tear their perverted ***** up

Some People don't understand poetry
They think everything has to rhyme
Sometimes I write poems full of mystery
And people say that they're "just fine"
But how can you rate something so deep
Something for which I am proud
Something that came straight from my heart
Why is it so hard to please the crowd?
I truly don't care what people think
But it would be nice to receive some validation
Instead people tell me to do something more productive
But I love making my own creations
I love every poet out there
I feel as if I know you even though I don't
Maybe one day I'll meet you
Maybe I wont
But I want to say thank you
For sharing your souls and your deepest feelings with me
We are a loving community
We all let our hearts run free
I see everyone's poetry as a piece of themselves, something they put time into, something they care for, something that they love so much that they want to share their feelings and passions with others. It is a work of art. There are people out there who don't understand why we love to write and they aren't deep enough to truly understand what our poetry means, and for them to criticize it and put it down just ****** me off. Don't get me wrong, I love constructive criticism, just not from those who have never written or attempted to write a day in their lives.

I'm writing you this letter
So my life is not a lie
I'm writing you this letter
So that I may say goodbye
Please don't shed any tears
This is what I want
Life is too hard
Its not your fault
I'm in need of a friend
Someone who will help me through
I'm in need of someone who was as good to me as you

I look down at the yellow tiles
I trace the orange petals with my eyes
The bucket is on the floor next to the toilet
I'll be right out turns into on of my biggest lies
I feel a breeze from the window
And close the vent that resides in its center
The snow is glistening in the moonlight
Such a lonely winter..

I pull down the shade
It wraps around itself like an old scroll
There's footsteps, loud and strong, coming from down the hall
Shhh
Deep breaths

The paint on the wall is flaking
Like my sanity, it withers away
There's a voice inside my head that keeps telling me to stay
It wreaks of *****
Hair clogs the drain on the floor
I'm going to do this
Lock the door**

I retrieve the ammonia
And pour it into the bucket of bleach
The room is small and the maximum capacity of one has been reached
Something comes out of the bucket
A cloud of gas
Finally something will carry me home
Freedom alas

The room starts to fill
My lungs start to burn
It's taking so long
Death is all I yearn

What if someone found me
What if I break their heart
Maybe I shouldn't do this
It could tear them apart
So I dump out my concoction
And I walk away
No one ever found out
And I lived another day
Astounding Feb 2014
That empty kiss
Your tainted lips..
Why hold me if you didn't care?
I tried to rush
I realize I rush too much
To both of us I was unfair

You once held my hand
And kissed me underwater
I followed where you led
You corrupted a mother's daughter

You once laughed at my joke
And complimented my grin
Just so you could score
And tell about the win

You once took me on a date
Told me to wear something ****
Placed your wicked lips upon mine
You didn't even know my last name
I didn't know yours
But I thought it a good way to pass the time

I see hate in the mirror
I tell myself not to take my own actions personally
Yet, know that I'm responsible for them

I want to wipe it out
A sucker punch to the brain for a moment of peace
Get out of my own ear..

I must find a new way to get release

But your lips have stained mine
And a bitter venom flows through my veins
Empty kisses that didn't bring me love
Empty kisses that have brought me shame
Astounding Jan 2015
Feeling like I was never understood
But, when I take a step back it all looks so good
Not talking about you, baby, I promise
Just feeling like someones got me on this train headed in one direction,
No exceptions
Trying to wrap the theory around my head that you would choose me instead.
So crazy, all the things you do for me.
I take a step back so I can finally see.
Daydreaming about your face,
But, then again, my feeling of understanding has been misplaced
And I'm looking over my shoulder trying to figure if, myself, I had disgraced.
Eyes like they've been maced,
Minds' been laced with the toxic fear of the past,
Don't worry
These feeling never last.
They just hide so deep.
So to removal is almost impossible.
I get lost, ya' know?

Just go with my flow.
I'm so **** tired of trying to read into the emotions
Krakens in my oceans have me exposing things I shouldn't be exposing
Getting down to the beats in my head;
They'll keep me dancing until I'm dead.
Or so It's been said

Back to business
I must confess I find nothing more intoxicating than this.
"Grooooooove with me." ;)

Climb inside my soul and dwell here for awhile
Possess me with your love

Never knew that living with no regrets doesn't mean that your past can't haunt you
Figured it out the moment you made me explain what I didn't want to
And I did, and it came up as smooth as the Ice 101 went down
And in that moment it hit my brain that you were disgusted by thought of me being passed around

Who inspires us?
Who says its not okay to be wrong?
Why do I have to know what I want out of life right now?
Why is this day so long?

Maybe I want to  be an astronaut
Maybe I want to be a mermaid
Maybe I want to work a job where I don't get paid

What if I want to  sail a pirate ship?
What if I want to panhandle?
What if I want to make my own signature candle?

How can you tell me no?
Who the hell are you to say what I can or can't do?

I'm going crazy
So stressed out
This is not what life was supposed to be about
I wanna travel the world
Find the lost city of Atlantis
I don't like the life I'm living
I didn't plan this

I didn't think my dreams would change
But they did
I can make my own decisions
I'm not a little kid

I may have a child's heart
I may even cry
Hell, there are some days that I wish I could fly

But you're taking my joy
You're crushing my hope
You're sending me down a slippery *****

You push too hard
I know you think you're right
But I need some inspiration
If only just for one night.

Both of us teach eachother what it means to love
We have endured tongue splitting patience
We have pryed our eyelids back behind our eyes and stared into each other's souls to find balance
We are the perfect anomaly
Our spirits going against everything they had know and leaping
Your heart is something that fuels my blood flow everyday
You make it tastier to live in a world with so much going amuck in it
I find myself on the verge of tears as I truly recall the beauty of it all

Fallen in love with the curve of your smile
The twinkle revolving around your earth coloured cornea that you gifted, beautifully, to our son.
The way you smell my neck
Your hands, rough and blistered, make me feel like the most delicate thing to have ever been touched
I live for you
You are my definition of happiness

I know that I get lost in the world I knew before you, and I forget to breath you in like the smell of early morning coffee
I know that sometimes we take our love for granted
So we forget to really revel in the joy of how much we really appreciate eachother
I know there is so much more that I can't even type,
And I just wanted to say I love you

Thank you for everything you've ever said to me good or bad, at least we are talking
Thank you for always kissing me until I see you again
Thank you for loving who I am and not judging me for it
I am a better person now because of you
You make me love harder and deeper
More than I ever thought a story line like ours ever could
I love our love, baby, it makes life so good.

When she was a child she dreamed of putting her toes in the sand
She dreamed of the waves rolling into her as she breathed in the salt of the ocean
She never thought her life would stray so far from her plans
Instead imaginary sand fell through her hands

That sand was her happiness turning to dust that swirled up and blinded her of life's lust
She still cries salt water out of her eyes
And she flows through life like she's riding the tides
She's still an Space Underground that thrives
Though she holds monsters within thats hold answers to questions you wish you hadn't of asked and when they awaken she goes into a storm fast  

A hurricane and water-tornado without even herself being warned
Visiting only her surface will likely leave you burned and scorned
Many jump in to escape the heat but its often terrifying or fatal when they travel too deep
The deeper down you go the more mosters you'll meet
And get pressurized into a place thats cold and dark
Where the monsters stay to feed off the parts of the anger you feel for going in too far

For her monster's know where the sweet spots are and their picky eaters as they feed on the parts of you that regret going in and the parts of you that didn't understand
Throwing their trash and ******* in her hora
Killing her beauty like the dying coral
What she needs is someone in suited in a special armour
Someone who will sink down just defeat the monsters but not harm her
Someone to show her just how vast she is and hows she's teaming with life even after what others did
She is mighty and though she is deep
She is powerful and far from weak

You think I don’t know
Sitting here looking cold
That you think that I can’t beat us both
You move in such a way that matches what you think I want you to say
We both know body language well enough that way
A wish in the Well is worth more to Hell cause the material things are always wanted more
If you gave Him a promise would you tell me and be honest?  
What would you say if I told you every way I can feel what you don’t have to say?

There’s a mystery to you
There’s a mystery to you
There’s a mystery to you
Is it pure?

I don’t wanna say anything you don’t wanna hear
I think I love you either way and sometimes love conquers fear
I think you know me so well
Maybe you do because most of the time myself I can hardly tell
You make me laugh with **** near every punchline
When your hands touch my chest when you kiss me goodbye
I get in an unrest cause I’m not sure your true intentions why

A wish in the Well is worth more to Hell cause the material things are always wanted more
If you gave Him a promise would you tell me and be honest?
Still I think that you just might know what I know

There’s a mystery to you
There’s a mystery to you
There’s a mystery to you
Is it pure?

If women are just objects
Because you payed for the date so you bought it
Don’t wanna give you the satisfaction of more
Though this isn’t the first time we’ve been out I feel it’s not time
Within you I know you’re hide something more
A wish in the Well is worth more to Hell cause the material things are always wanted more
If you gave Him a promise would you tell me and be honest?
What would you say if I told you every way I can feel what you don’t have to say?

There’s a mystery to you
There’s a mystery to you
There’s a mystery to you
Is it pure?

I sit here alone and I cry
Asking myself how something so little could seems so big
Thinking of how simple things were before we made it big
Our anticipated sunshine somehow dimming because we are so tired of waiting in the rain
I love you more than anything

I feel like I'm pushing you away by wanting to be so close
And I can't bare to say what I feel because I fear that's what pushes you away the most

Staring in the mirror
Pleading with myself
"No.."*
I keep clawing at my skin but the burning doesn't go
I shake me head, holding my knees to my chest
Someone come and pleasure me
Trembling, sweat trickles down my hot flesh
Astounding Jul 2020
I’m trying to get you in the right mood
Bending over just to excite you
Yeah I look like I won’t bite you
I’ve always had strong teeth
Smiling until my cheeks hurt
Making gestures just to make you look at the hem of my skirt
Walking everywhere I go in nature with bare feet
Tell you take me to the sunset
******* until I’m sure you’ll never forget
You always buy us something to eat
Go home wait for the phone call
Realize you don’t really care at all
Cause we both feel alive when we’d meet

Dont worry about me boy I’m not ashamed
One day I probably forget your name
You know we both liked the false fame
Know I never came

What can I say?
I’m a Rebellious Woman
Everyday people look at me like they know everything about me
Cause they think these eyes only know the Auburn Sunshine Brown they seep
It’s sort of a funny role to play
***** I’m a Queen don’t you ever forget it
It’s not about you so just sit and listen
Might find out I thought something completely different
I can guarantee it every time in some type of way

Dont worry about me girl I’m not ashamed
One day I’ll probably forget your name
You know you just really like the taste of my name
Know zero ***** were ever gave
Got me wanting to show you my inner beast
Seems everyone keeps trying to tamper with my inner peace
I ain’t trying to taint my femininity
But you never know with me

What can I say?
I’m a Rebellious Woman

Don’t got to let a girl have it
Know that I’ve probably already given it to myself
Sip, yup had it
Trying to figure out why I was such a sad *****
Should just let them all ******* have it
Now I’m figuring how to get people to see what clay is made of me
Don’t want go down as the stereotype
You made of Me
******* watch and you’ll see
Got two kids and a man I love
Brush my shoulders off and get right back up

Don’t worry about me y’all I’m not ashamed
One day you’ll sit and ponder my name
Know that I was a warrior and I overcame a lot more than the credit you gave

What can I say?
I’m a Rebellious Woman
Astounding Oct 2013
You seemed beautiful
You made me feel free
But your words are cruel lies
Biting chunks out of me
I've been spinning in your grin
My heart, somehow, still beating as I bleed
I don't want your affection
Its your attention that I need

Look me in my eyes
Show me that your false love is still there
Trusting in you is like pulling out the grenade pin
Then tossing the grenade in the air
Hopeless and pathetic
Yet still,
In some way,
Poetic

It feels like shattered glass
Everything we had is broken
It fell to the ground
And is now left in the open
I wish could say sorry and mean it
But then it would be I devouring you
We don't need anymore lies
Our feelings for each other were already untrue

So I'll walk away
Head held high
And I'll unleash the pain
In a long withheld sigh
Astounding Aug 2013
Our eyes collide
And ignite with a flash
You lick your lips
I sip from my glass
I bat my lashes and twirl my hair
Never abandoning our lustful stare
I imagine the strength of your embrace
My face starts to flush and my heart starts to race
You crave the sweetness of my skin and my ripen lips
But most of all you can't forget the contour of my hips

There was a little girl whom found love to young. On the playground she’d sing a child’s innocent song in a beautiful hum. Boys would hear her song and watch her, entranced. A rebel of a boy came up and asked her to dance. “I heard you singing from the swings. Your eyes are beautiful. Will you take my hand?” Curious and delighted, the girl couldn’t have known what he had planned. He twirled her and kissed her five year old lips. He put his hands around her young and innocent hips. “I have something to show you.” The twelve year old rebel whispered in her ear. “What is it?” out of curiosity not fear.  He took her hand and led her in to the room in the rear of the building. He took off his pants while she looked at the ceiling. So much more happening in between. Those days have passed and that young girl is now a woman. Her heart is confused and her mind in ruins. The love she knew when she was young, the love where he would kiss her underwater and buy her cheese fries, the love that she saw glimmering in his eyes, she never saw in everyone else’s. It confused her. It hurt her. But no one knew of her love. Her pain she suffered alone. Still a child at heart the woman loves to indulge in encounters that temporarily fill the hole of her one and still, only, love. She also gets drunk or high, anything to make her feel numb. She smokes a cigarette and has and epiphany. “I’m going to get my life together, stop sleeping around, and find a love that’s true.” She got up every day. Went to work and school. She leaves her heart open to opportunity and the almighty, God.  She’ll one day become a mother. She’ll have a love that will accept all her sins and kiss all of her scars. He'll hold her close. Ask her to dance. It will be a love she understands. A love she won’t think she deserves. She’ll feel too tainted, but he’ll soothe her with words. Mend the hole. End the hurt.
How does this work as a tale? Writing my first short tale for school. Not sure how I'm doing..
Astounding Jan 2015
She'll talk and beg him for hours
But it just goes in one ear and out the other
When will they learn to discover, anything, but most importantly each other
She hates haunting reappearances of others,
The people he claims as brothers

Hide your head in shame Sally
You don't need any other lovers

They see her as beautiful, even under her make-up mask
That mask is filling her confidence up a little too fast,
Then, at last, It eats her head
To be silent is to be dead

But death would also be to say the things she hasn't said
Her fear of dying constantly complying with her fear to live
In limbo, unable to forgive pasts judgement and present enemies
Those who left her wounded with no apologies

She runs to the dark where she feels more at home
Moonlight kisses her wounds in the night in the fields alone
Stuffing stardust in her pocket
Wanting them to make her one of their own

Silence shaking her eyes and making up hallucinatory lies
Figures are moving in and she's in the pit of her soul
Wallowing in the dark that rots her insides
So many secrets she chooses which to share and which to hide
How can a girls so rare, so rebellious, so tainted that she's pure ever become so unsure?
If no one starts listening, we'll loose her for sure.

I drift alone on this sea of life
Searching the skies for an answer
I search the stars and endless blue
Though I rarely find the answer I'm after
I know what you're thinking
If you're tired of drifting just put down your anchor
But my boat starts sinking
It doesn't work in my favor

What is an anchor?
It's something that lies on the sea's ground
Something that will hold you down
The reason why I almost drown
But I need it.
I need to have the depression
I crave the tears
I've been living with the tragedy of me for all these years
Balance
I crave the kite
The manic episodes of my existence
My ideas are vast
I show persistence
I fly high above people and I feel my spirit soar
I grab on to the strings when I cant take anymore
But the landing is always rough
It's unpredictable and fast
Aha! I found my answer alas!
I hold on to my kite while I drag my anchor
So my boat can float comfortably on the sea
I love my kite and my anchor
They are the two most extreme parts of me

For those of you whom can stand in battle
Without the disease of fear on their person
For those who can say **** it
If I don’t do this I don’t think my life to me will have been worth it

If you are free from yourself to battle for those who no longer can
I, dear person,  would like to shake your hand

If you can do it peacefully and be still as if a monk
If you can do it with respect for the belief that you entrust
Do it without breaking a single thing
Without reaching your hand in someone’s life and taking something you don’t merit
Than walk away feeling like yourself you have not left behind; know you my respect  you will inherit

Know that I wish that I could join in that battle you where you stand
I believe that no man’s life should ever be taken wrongfully by any other man
I cannot congregate with for I am at home still
Protecting the Love and Life I made to withstand life’s hell
If to my doorstep they come demanding to burst in and kick me and my children out
For the color my skin or the color that with them resides within, their will me plenty a bloodshed without a doubt
Until this day I’m with my family
Raising them to love and and be coherent
You are not alone without me for I am there in spirit
Astounding Jan 2015
Ahhhh ahha ahahaha*
*Love.
I sing of love.
Find me and make me whole.
Every man I've called upon, never makes it home.

Beneath the sea, I twirl and hum.
I lure men to the rocks, where I choose my lucky one.

I bathe in the sun, rocks warm my cold blooded fin.
Twirling my long, wavy hair.
I catch their eyes, all they can do is stare.
This is where I win.

They battle to see who will venture on,
Each thinking they are more worthy than the others.
My beauty so entrancing,
It can turn brothers against brothers.

There's only one I see who would be suitable enough for me,
I let out a delicate sigh, no chance his ears wont be free
The men look toward me and then at him,
I just show them my innocent grin.

They send the man over,
Ula, was his name.
He was the jewel to my sea,
And I did not know my life would never be the same.

We laughed and splashed,
Then dove deep underwater.
He caresses me tightly and plays with my hair
Forgetting about his fellow men and his need for air.

Now Ula stays with me, in the ocean deep.
I always talk with him, before I go to sleep

Have you ever shared the darkest secrets of your soul
And the person you told just shied away?  
Did you assume it would happen
Because those secrets you felt you should not say?

You go out on a limb and hope they'll accept who you are
Inside you knew it was hopeless
But you still had faith in that wishing star
  
You sit and wait for their response but the silence is icy cold
You wish you could take it back
But your soul you've already sold

Your heart sinks and your eyes grow heavy, but you refuse to cry
Because in your mind your pointlessly waiting
For their compassionate reply  

The hurt and pain is unforgiving and you've lost all aspiration
Your head is hollow and your heart is numb
They trampled all inspiration

How can you love yourself if no one has ever dared?
You just want to be yourself, to share yourself with someone
But you learn they've never truly cared

You know you'll be rejected, because you've rejected yourself many times
So you try to vent your pain  
By converting it into rhymes

But inside your soul is lonely, and in a dim corner it weeps
Within the demons are prying
and no one ever sleeps

I’m a rodent scrounging through the desert that the eagle see’s
I watch you circling me a little pleased
For I love the Eagle for all he sees
He picks me up and carried me
I want to fly with the Eagle so he can be my spirit and set it free
We are reborn in a upheaval
Put on a glad face and stomp your boots on your feet
Cause I flew with the eagle
His Heart’s desires dug into me
Still I stand here before you having flown higher than meant for me
I was a rodent scrounging through the desert that the Eagle could see
He swooped down from the heavens and gave me wings
I flew with the Eagle
He set me free

Scheming big ploys
Living in Daydreams
A real big bad *** you think
You got mascara on your face
Your name disgraced

An enough had girl
Cause they don’t understand the pain in the words they say
You’re a total nut case and their getting in you face
Somebody better get you out of this place

If fight you could end up caged
A woman that can’t be tamed

One day my beloved children
A mountain you will climb
Walk it with firm footsteps and always use the purest of mind
You may be bloodied in battle as you go along your way
If a harmful road you do travel
Know I cherish being your mother and will be with you everyday
I know it’s not too far away

As of now ‘tis my duty to make sure no matter what you endure when I’m not around
No matter what I understand you and in ways ,if wrong, you’ll to me always be right
I’ll never speak ill of you or speak to you out of anger or spite
I will never harm you or throw daggers into your mind
You will always be mine
I vow to always protect you and give you whatever it is that I can
Your creation was made from love and you gifted me the purest love that I could ever have
I’ll walk beside as long as you let me stay then drift slowly behind you on that faithful day when you choose to change pace
I’ll have the look of twenty emotions on my face
I love you my darlings
I’m smarter than you think
Listen while I guide you
You’ll be there in a blink
I love my kids more than words and beyond. ❤️

Today has been the longest day.
Funny, because nothing was done.
I think of all the things in life I've thrown away.
And I'm so happy you didn't let yourself be one.

The big picture is so hard to frame.
Must be it's size, I guess.
Today has been the longest day.
Maybe because I'm a mess.

Cigarettes on my breath,
And a shiver in my sigh.
Thought I would revel in my freedom from all that I shrugged off my shoulders,
But, that was a lie.

So, by and by I wait here.
By and by
Today was the longest day.
Someone help me understand why.

When your eyes drop to the floor.. And the pain creeps within your soul
When your heart cant take anymore..
I pray that the love in my tender kiss will be the last thing in this life you will know.

I will cradle you when you are crying
I will love the fact that you know where everything is in your room, even though it's a mess
I  will cherish the way you kiss my neck..
The way your hands feel beneath my dress

I will fight with you,
Through any battle we face
The make-up *** will be incredible
Reading each others movement's and pace

When you're quiet and your mind wont stop racing
When you get sick of the game and the chasing..
I'll be waiting with some beer and your favorite snacks
I'll give you a massage.. Help you relax

I'll keep your secrets
I'll laugh at your jokes
I'll be your partner in crime
Full of love, playfulness, and hope

You can **** with the door open
Hell, you can even blast me with a paintball attack..
Just be yourself, don't put up an act
and.. most of all
*Oh, please.. Love me back.

If you know someone who has been hurt far beyond repair
If you’ve seen them mend that hurt a way that you’d never dare
Then behold that person rise again like phoenix from their ashes
You better know that they themselves are more grateful than you for their seconds chances
Neither you nor they should judge themselves or the other for what was willing of their actions
Please don’t think that they are weak for in reality they are vigorous and chosen
To lead the ones in the fleet to live their lives out open
To help understand and mend the broken
The ones to say I am one whose felt the demons creep deep with in my mind
To say I have listened to them, spirit fully broken and wished to be left behind
To say I have believed that if the cell of my heart was to be opened bats and cobwebs you would find
To say everyday I would have done anything to sabotage myself
Because my soul a demon had in his firm grip and was twisting it himself
If you stand here today proud you made it through that atrocious time
And you’re wiling to a friend say without being ashamed the story about how you once put your life on the line
So they can feel camaraderie
So you could help guide them to their glory
Than please know these people should never be afraid to tell the world their story

What happened to those luscious locks?
I don't even know where to begin
Your teeth are decaying from your mouth
Your cheeks are sinking in
Your once smooth skin's now dry and itchy
Lumps and bumps everywhere
Paranoid and hallucinating
Brittle and wispy hair

Why do you do this to yourself?
You're just a snort, a *****, an inhale away
This bitter and odorless powder can take you off this earth today
Was taking it that one time at the party worth all this hell?
Did putting that ice up your nose suit you well?
Can you even remember who I am?
Why are you always trying to fight?
Shhh, calm down.
Everything's alright

You're delusional and moody
But I still love you so
No matter how much you isolate
I'll never let you go

I'll be here when you're loosing weight
And when your behavior seems schizophrenic
I'll be here when your kidneys fail
I'll be here to call the medic
I'll hold your hand through the depression
I'll stay by your side throughout the stroke
I'll be here to watch as you put yourself in the ground
And on my tears I'll choke

And when you have those cravings
For the powder you hold so dear
When you're restless and confused, darling
**I'll be here.
