Fairytales
Jenni Littzi May 2018
I never opted to be a princess
I never believed in fairytales
I know that life can be a mess
I know that life can bring fails

I do need a fairy god mother
To fix up some things for me
But I’m wise enough to know
Nothing around is in my control

I don’t need saving here
So turn around your horse
I don’t need a castle to live
So forget about that course

You be the Beast, I be the Beauty
But that’s as far as we take it
No glass slipper will find your suitor
Fate is a mystery to believe in

So don’t go slaying any dragon
I’m not lying here asleep
Waiting for your magic
No dwarfs for me to keep

No magic to make it better
No, I’m not Miss Cinderella
And my heart is already froze
The Snow Queen has no control

Cool Now
Jenni Littzi May 2018
Forever came very freaking fast
After you promised that we’d last
Couldn’t even make it a year
Once she came and appeared

Now here I am, where I stand
Broken promises, broken brain
Because you must be insane
But that’s okay, I’m cool now
Because I never see you smile

Had big plans together soon
Lucky they never went through
Still your timing was impeccable
And your lies were unacceptable

Now here I am, where I stand
Wasted my time, what a ploy
I must have been your toy
But that’s okay, I’m cool now
Because I know you’re unhappy

You can’t help me because you sent
Me on this endless ride to resentment

Now here I am, where I stand
There you are, where you fall
Now the shows over, that’s all
But that’s okay, I’m cool now
Because you’re dead to me

Little Boy
Jenni Littzi May 2018
How could you lie and lie
While looking me in the eyes
How could you lay with me
As we both cried and cried

You made me a desperate mess
Only wanting truth and answers
You drove me absolutely insane
But things are going to change

You’re just so immature
Naive and learning still
About how dating works
Where sincerity doesn’t lurk
Learn to respect your toys
And stop being a little boy

When the novelty is gone
The newness wears off
Where will you be, love?
Alone and discouraged…

When you see you are wrong
How you went about this all
Then you will feel my pain
And I won’t come running then

You’re just so immature
Naive and learning still
About how feelings work
Where sincerity doesn’t lurk
Learn to respect your toys
And stop being a little boy

Even when it came to the end
You still had to pretend
There was hope yet again
Couldn’t let me down gently
While holding my dignity!
You’re just so immature

Naive and learning still
About all how love works
Where sincerity doesn’t lurk
So learn to respect your toys
And stop being a little boy

Ashes to Dust
Jenni Littzi May 2018
I’ll be the *** symbol but nobody’s lady
I’ll be the eye candy but nobody’s baby
I’ll tease ya, making you miss me
I won’t chase you either or please ya
I’ll just show off and leave you hanging

We all want to feel that spark
Chase it around until we’re burnt
Then we don’t understand how
Playing with fire got us hurt
Liar, liar, now ashes to dust

Go out of the box and initiate
Your own spark, no more fate
Only to work hard and still
Get hurt and knocked down
Tried too hard, so ashes to dust

You can look all you want
But you cannot ever touch
You can play the game with me
Just realize who is forever now in command
You will have a great time and then be alone again

We all want to feel that spark
Chase it around until we’re burnt
Then we don’t understand how
Playing with fire got us hurt
Liar, liar, now ashes to dust

Go out of the box and initiate
Your own spark, no more fate
Only to work hard and still
Get hurt and knocked down
Tried too hard, so ashes to dust

I refuse to be a victim anymore
So I’ve decided to take control
Admiration and lust
But never intimacy or love
Over and out, I’m all done

We all want to feel that spark
Chase it around until we’re burnt
Then we don’t understand how
Playing with fire got us hurt
Liar, liar, now ashes to dust

Go out of the box and initiate
Your own spark, no more fate
Only to work hard and still
Get hurt and knocked down
Tried too hard, so ashes to dust

Letting Go
Jenni Littzi May 2018
(Interlude)
Holding on to anger is poisoning yourself while assuming the other person will perish instead. Holding on to lost love is only chaining yourself to a ghost; you are still without them and now stuck in the past.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Letting go is not a forgiveness
Doesn’t mean you forgot anything
It’s freeing you for your best interest
And cleansing your new beginnings

Hatred is a poison to your own heart
So moving on is where freedom starts
The other person still gets no excuse
You deserve peace and to be let loose

Chaining yourself to the past
Will continue to hold you back
In turn, keeping you from ever
Focusing on your new happiness

No one else needs to understand how
You can be civil to someone once cruel
You are the who lived it through
Dropping the grudge is what is mature

It may take us time to understand
Figure out how we stop giving in
And longer to heal and not care
As finding you, finds you out there

Letting go of anger is a free pass
Not for those who harmed you
But for your own soul to rest
Inner peace starts with ourselves

We all make some wrong choices
And do stupid things subconsciously
While some may have gone too far
Now that you said bye, cleansing time

So stop breaking your own heart
Learn your lessons and stay smart
Love should be more powerful than hate
Letting go is the beginning of strength

Lost Girl
Jenni Littzi May 2018
It feels easier to exist in the distance
Rather than to pass in the spotlight
I recognize every face within the crowd
But I don’t know any of the souls around

That includes when I look at myself
She is a stranger inside the mirror
With no more definition to her
Just trapped searching in there

Much despair because of all the hope
That was wasted on the wrong folks
A puzzle piece no one else can fill
Tried that but don’t get anywhere

Defined so long by other people
Not knowing where to start over
I find ideas that do not fulfill
Because I’m still not the right girl

She’s sweet, bright and beautiful
Quirky, girly, with some attitude
I do know all of my potential
That’s why there’s misery at all

Living to appease others now
Aimlessly trying somehow
To see a path and a future
To find this lonely … lost girl

My Haven
Jenni Littzi May 2018
I need you more than rainfall in deserts
Even more than shelter during a storm
And more than the sun provides Earth
I thrive in part from you, giving me life
Like oxygen keeps all us continuing on
To any flower, like a lily in growth
Longing for water and the rising sun
Like that, I also perk up when we talk

I need a safe place to hide and stay
Just for a little while to get away
I’m lucky that you are my Haven
Sheltering me from life’s evilness
On those days that I just need caring
You are my Haven, protecting me
With all there is, you’re all I need
Like a dose of medicine; my Haven

I love you like a wandering, lost soul
Whose finally found their answer
And can now rest, while peaceful
I love you more than I knew I could
Since I thought somebody like you
Was a myth, dream, and impossible
I love the butterflies, as we touch
To the comfort level we’ve accomplished

You’re my safe place to hide, to stay
Just for a little while to get away
I’m lucky that you are my Haven
Sheltering me from life’s evilness
On those days that I just need caring
You are my Haven, protecting me
With all there is, you’re all I need
Every breath I take is a moment

I am waiting for your embrace
Your kiss can cure any distress
I would be lost, I’d be such a mess
And still searching for my Prince
As without you here, by my side
I’d feel incomplete, but now I see
Only your existence within my eyes
I need a safe place to hide and stay

Just for a little while to get away
I’m lucky that you are my Haven
Sheltering me from life’s evilness
On those days that I just need caring
You are my Haven, protecting me
With all there is, you’re all I need
Sometimes I’ve given up on myself
But you greatly have reminded me

That there is hope for everybody
Even this girl at her absolute worse
I no longer feel mistaken or cursed
‘Cause when the bad comes my way…
I’m lucky that you are my Haven
Sheltering me from life’s evilness
With all there is, you’re all I need
Like a dose of medicine; my Haven

Social Media
Jenni Littzi May 2018
What a nutcase, her life is so fake
Afraid of anyone that comes by
Because she has so much to hide
Those who love the net but are
Extra private and also so hidden
Can’t keep up with all their lies
If they do slip up and complain
They just hit delete and pretend
It never happened in real life even

Only living through the Internet
Dishonest even with themselves
All about what people see and think
Making up a whole life on social media
Only posting things telling perfection
Even though we know their skeletons
Being too honest is one thing to hate
Then there’s pretend, how pathetic
And the ones with the most drama

I don’t see this with guys
They just simply keep quiet
Even though they are often
Still caught in all of their lies
Cheating; on social media sites
Found out usually all thanks to
The other female just making sure
That within his world’s concern
She has made herself fully known

You can say you traveled the world
Have only all the perfect pictures
Of you and showing off your loving
Boyfriend, kids, or even the hubby
Never fighting, never discouraged
Eventually they may believe it too
Even when everyone knows the truth
But lets them stay in their world

We are all guilty at times of parts
But most don’t take things so far
Because life still goes on off of there
And living IS about going up and down
Doesn’t mean airing all your soap opera
It’s a out being you; perfect is not real
And neither have been these people
So I always ask, what’s the point?

Even Stars Die
Jenni Littzi May 2018
It all goes dark in a matter of time
You’ll waste more, the harder you try
To fight what nothing can escape
Not even millions of light years away

A flame can’t last for eternity
While burning resources constantly
A spark can switch on or off
All depending on the odds
Even the stars far in the sky
Eventually burn out and die
So wisely use your time
On worthiness in your eyes

Lightening wakes up the night
A fire burns warm and bright
Forever is only a comforting lie
Changes are the universe and maker
Of death being apart of each life

The more energy you put in
You will not receive back
You will just burn away the wax
Quicker and miss out on living
So smartly use what you’re given

A flame can’t last for eternity
While burning resources constantly
A spark can switch on or off
All depending on the odds
Even the stars far in the sky
Eventually burn out and die
So wisely use your time
On worthiness in your eyes

We take everything for granted
Wanting what we cannot have
Life always looks more bright
Dreaming up the future you idolize
Not dealing with what’s in sight

It’s easier to run and lie, alright
Hide and play pretend tonight
It won’t stop the morning lights
Once there is only darkness left
You haven’t left the cycle yet

In time and space, even stars die
It’s never goodbye, just goodnight
Jenni Littzi May 2018
I must survive, keep up the fight
No time to cry when you’re losing
Must keep your goals within sight
Don’t be lead by what’s confusing
Focus on what you’re able to decide
Life can be rough and demanding
But as those doors are slamming
New options are being presented
As those blessings in a disguise
Bad timing can be oh so right

I will find my way; my way through
Lightening that tries striking you
The dark clouds and the showers
Pouring down causing the blues
I will find my way, my own way to
The sun shining through to give
To me my lucky rainbow’s end

Been kicked around and left there
But I always got up after despair
And that is how I am still here
Just one step at a time to think
Remembering to stop and breathe
There are always the ups and downs
They say that’s how you appreciate
All that life can bring you around
Hard to imagine that you can climb
Back up to the top within some time

I will find my way; my way through
Lightening that tries striking you
The dark clouds and the showers
Pouring down causing the blues
I will find my way, my own way to
The sun shining through to give
To me my lucky rainbow’s end

Believe in you; that’s what counts
Push on through; that’s the how
Live every moment; love you now
I will find my way; to my rainbow

Apologize
Jenni Littzi May 2018
Can you feel it like I can?
My heart is beating fast
Things don’t always last
I honestly accept that
And I am no longer sad

It’s that time, I do apologize
But it eventually comes in life
One really doesn’t call it an end
Just a new cycle that’s beginning
As change happens to everything
There’s no reason to put up a fight
And I apologize, but it’s in my sight

My heart refuses to be closed
Before me, it already knows
My brain won’t stop running
Thinking about what I could do
To manipulate what is fading

It’s that time, I do apologize
But it eventually comes in life
One really doesn’t call it an end
Just a new cycle that’s beginning
As change happens to everything
There’s no reason to put up a fight
And I apologize, but it’s in my sight

I won’t forget the good times
But all I feel are the bad vibes
No goodbyes, just little lies
(As out loud we keep quiet…)

It’s that time, I do apologize
But it eventually comes in life
One really doesn’t call it an end
Just a new cycle that’s beginning
As change happens to everything

…I see it again, it’s starting
I’ll play too, knowing the truth
Distance, trying hard to fight
Lies, but all I can do is apologize

Wait For You
Jenni Littzi May 2018
If being together with you means
There will be a lot of waiting
Then it is a good thing this girl
Has always had plenty patience

I believe we found destiny and fate
Never knowing it before you around
That there were connections like this
But now I feel it must be on purpose

That we happened to just meet up
After both of our dating bad lucks
Despite distance, age, other stuff
I knew early on you were the one

Constantly thinking long term
Has usually never really worked
It just often had me caught deep
And would drown me beneath

I feared I would be in trouble again
But learned you’re just as faithful
You respect mutual commitments
In the same way as I do to you

Therefore I know I would rather go
Without you some of my nights
And more, than to not have you
At all for the rest of our lives

I know I’m not perfect; as who is?
You are not perfect either even
But together we do perfectly fit
And that’s a rarity worth the wait

It is not about the time spent apart
But the actions guided by my heart
It may be hard, but I truly believe
Inside, in time, you’re always mine

So no matter the reasons why
No matter the amounts of time
I will be waiting with goodness in
And with intentions only worthy

Trust me ‘cause, you’re my forever
Not just my “right now” person
Why else would I not choose to
Be patient for my entire future?

Since the right one is by my side
Me always thinking so long term
Has finally paid off now in my life
To share with you, I’ll wait eternity

Toxic
Jenni Littzi May 2018
The apologies get old
The more you say it
The less that it holds
So eventually it’s not
Personal to just let go

Who deserves your worse?
When you’ve been given best
I feel pity on how you’re a mess
But it doesn’t excuse everything
I know you’re not that stupid

Stay away this time
I mean you no harm
But I’m thinking of me
Not failing, but I quit
You are just too toxic

We have all been victims
Of feeling used and lied to
So why would one agree
To friendships tormented
Brought down to that degree?

Used to have a lot
Of people I’d trust
But I’d rather stand
As me, my one army
As strong as I need

Don’t come back this time
It will only be a next war
And I’m thinking of me
Never failing, but I quit
Because you’re too toxic

We all need help sometimes
But you take others for a ride
That drama was for our best?
You’re just looking out for us
Ha, manipulation at it’s finest

Goodbye my old “friends”
So long to once “lovers”
You live and I will live; me
With more common sense
No victim, nothing poisonous

I’m clean

I see I shouldn’t play
With danger; instead
Go on, learn my lesson on
What is wrong in sight
And too toxic to my life
May 2018 · 76
YOU
Jenni Littzi May 2018
YOU
Suddenly afraid of commitment
Already had some hell with it
So you had to jump the ship
Leaving me contemplating
Even if it means never again
Will you find such happiness
With another living being
You still gave up everything

Killed them all; My happy memories
Dead and gone; Like you erased history
How could you go and do this to me?
Of anybody, you were my everything
I respected you and took care of you
I Would have done absolutely anything
All while patiently waiting just for you

You just were not ready
I am very understanding
So why disrespect someone
Who never lied to you at all
Even if you had to ever go away
I thought it’d never end this way
Now you are an enemy I hate
And I yearn for judgement day

Killed them all; My happy memories
Dead and gone; Like you erased history
How could you go and do this to me?
Of anybody, you were my everything
I respected you and took care of you
I Would have done absolutely anything
All while patiently waiting just for you

Poor baby, don’t know how
To treat a real lady
Poor baby, you showed you
Are far from perfect
It was all pretend, the end
Drop dead, I hate you instead
Because…!

Killed them all; My happy memories
Dead and gone; Like you erased history
How could you go and do this to me?
Of anybody, you were my everything
I respected you and took care of you
I Would have done absolutely anything
All while patiently waiting just for you!

Fri•end•ship
Jenni Littzi May 2018
A friend is someone who is true
Even when they can’t be near you
They’d still drop any and everything
When you feel confused and unsure

Friendship is a gift to treasure
Until someone tarnishes this
With jealousy and rudeness
Back-stabbing, hypocrisy…

Things change and so do we
With different paths which
We will independently need
But that doesn’t equal bailing
From someone totally when
You find a fill-in for a friend
Someone who will cater to
Your inability to yet mature

No one gets it all properly always
But admit you messed up things
You lost touch and now laugh
Jesting on your own behalf

Take it all in, because I now know
That I had long ago out-grown
Fake ways; acting which I wasn’t
I feel so free from the jealous one

(Outro)
You lost touch from reality and us and now laugh it up. Jesting on only your own behalf, because there is always another side; somewhere else the truth does lie.

GO
Jenni Littzi May 2018
GO
You use them dry, make them cry
Move right along, to the next one
Play innocent, be a trick, become a *****
Now they’re stuck, know they’re ******
You ****** them in, they’re out of luck

Eventually learn, don’t play your ****
Won’t get burned, you have no worth
So they turn and you act all innocent
Like you didn’t do the same thing again
Like the one before, yet you never GO

Keep coming around, I’ll show you how
A real woman can really put it down
I’ve seen all of your ugly games played
From old, useless lovers and friends
I learned I can do things even better
So I know how it goes, you’ll lose all
Smarter than you, but with class too
So get a clue here and just GO soon

Don’t come to me, don’t mention me
You totally created your own mess
Leaving me with the absolute best
No reason to keep on with the texts
Anyways, won’t ever fool him again

When there are no more attachments
Can’t find a new one to take advantage
That doesn’t mean you go backwards
We are moving forward, so be gone
You will never be wanted in this town
Keep coming around, I’ll show you how
A real woman can really put it down

I’ve seen all of your ugly games played
From old, useless lovers and friends
I learned I can do things even better
So I know how it goes, you’ll lose all
Smarter than you, but with class too
So get a clue here and just GO soon

It’s time to grow up and learn respect
If you want it nice, then do it right
Otherwise you will be your own demise
It’s so justifying for all of your lying
So just start somewhere else and GO

No Conscious
Jenni Littzi May 2018
Between truth and lies
Dreaming is the best way
To feel like living one’s life
It is a certain way to survive

The ways that you conceal
You can only go on and hide
Your true self and reality
For a short matter of time

How can you dare,
Look in the mirror?
Why don’t you hear,
Inner voices screaming?
The only answer must be
You have no conscious,
It seems …

All the truths only stay
In the ground for so long
Buried within a layered veil
Before they creep on out

The good you have shown
With the bad left unknown
Will all eventually turn around
That is when there will be Karma

How can you dare,
Look in the mirror?
Why don’t you hear,
Inner voices screaming?
The only answer must be
You have no conscious,
It seems …

All that you’ve taken
Without any remorse
It will be reversed on you
By the ways of the universe

Dream up something better
Pretend so you can get by
But know it all comes with
A life long price of sacrifices

Piece of Mind
Jenni Littzi May 2018
Feet in the sand and a light breeze
Time alone with you, in front of the blue
Thoughts stand still, against the wind
Time meant to be free, as waves crash in

I never found peace of mind
Until you got every piece of me
I never really thought about the time
Until you helped me smell the lilies

Like wind and dirt, like fire and the sea
We come at each other, like a tsunami
It may be coarse or soft, we clash a lot
Opposites can attract, we add to a match

I never found peace of mind
Until you got every piece of me
I never really thought about the time
Until you helped me smell the lilies

I’ll be all good, now that you’re in my world
All will be swell because you’re my belle

I never found peace of mind
Until you got every piece of me
I never really thought about the time
Until you helped me smell the lilies

Luna
Jenni Littzi May 2018
I have loved the moon too fondly
To ever be fearful of the night
And I mustn’t forget this
The stars gleaming bright

The tide rolls in and out
I can feel it inside my heart

I could get forever lost
Inside the moon’s touch
As it’s controlling my being
For it I’m always truly fiending

The tide rolls in and out
I can feel it inside my heart

Come with me and play
Let go of your mind’s decay
I am too fond of the moon
That the night leaves too soon

The tide rolls in and out
I can feel it inside my heart

The tide rolls in and out
I can feel it inside my heart

Say Goodnight
Jenni Littzi May 2018
Permanently looking for peace
Temporary couldn’t last a week
Sincerely, I didn’t even have to think
I guess in the moment I was weak

Pop, pop, sip, further you slip
Pop, pop, sip, further you slip

Couldn’t tell me any different
Made up my mind in an instant
Put my thoughts to the distance
Made sure there was no mentioning it

Pop, pop, sip, further you slip
Pop, pop, sip, further you slip

If I begged for forgiveness
Would I get other chances
Now it’s only ***** glances
But I had to take my stance

Pop, pop, sip, further you slip
Pop, pop, sip, further you slip

Pop, pop, sip, further you slip
Pop, pop, sip, further you slip

Conceited
Jenni Littzi May 2018
I didn’t know how to deal
With the changes I endured
It all was eventually fulfilled
I swear it happened over night
Can’t believe it wasn’t in my sights
I feel like I was robbed of my life

It seems so inconceivable
That this is me now
It seems so unbelievable
I let this occur, how?

I look in the mirror
I don’t know what it is I stare
Who is that standing there?
Imposter, get out of here
Call me conceited but I’m gone
This is not how I belong

It seems so inconceivable
That this is me now
It seems so unbelievable
I let this occur, how?

Now that I’m aware where I’m at
How do I get my body back

It seems so inconceivable
That this is me now
It seems so unbelievable
I let this occur, how?

Heart
Jenni Littzi May 2018
Hey there, Genius
Don’t you already know
You’re not supposed to
Go and catch feelings

Suggestion, cut your heart out
Lock it up and throw away the key
Do so, before anyone else
Can rip it out for keeps

You won’t need it anyway
Because the ones you play with
Aren’t looking for commitment
Or to handle a heart with care

Advice, stop thinking twice
Don’t let it be seen you are
So vulnerable and in need
Before they scare and flee

Stop your heartbeat, no butterflies
Inside there, going crazy for somebody
Listen to reason, the heart is misleading

So smart, yet so dumb
Cautious until you let
Yourself get caught up
And stuck on just one

Don’t act stupid, when love
Is just an elusive emotion
With no proof, protect you
Before you are left ruined

So, why did you go and catch feelings?
You’ve learned you’re fragile like glass
Told you no, but the heart doesn’t listen

Best Gift
Jenni Littzi May 2018
The sun may not always shine
As it’s no surprise that I’ve seen
Many clouds lingering my whole life
But as the storms begin rolling in
The difference there now days is
I know you’re there by my side

You see through my masquerade
That hides my years worth of pain
You never give up with the redundancy
Just tearing down my walls constantly
I fight you all the way for you not to
While I secretly am rooting for you
As you’ve turned around my world
And gave me all this girl deserves
You’re the best gift a woman could get
You are so easy to be in love with

Life hits me hard and sometimes
I fall down, but I get up to fight
At times it’s hard to always continue
But now I know someone else patiently
Wants to also see me get through
And that person is wonderful you

You see through my masquerade
That hides my years worth of pain
You never give up with the redundancy
Just tearing down my walls constantly
I fight you all the way for you not to
While I secretly am rooting for you
As you’ve turned around my world
And gave me all this girl deserves
You’re the best gift a woman could get
You are so easy to be in love with

I never knew love could be so strong
A bond that keeps me going, going on
The power of being in love with someone
Like you can make a woman here feel
Incredible; I only need your love forever

You see through my masquerade
That hides my years worth of pain
You never give up with the redundancy
Just tearing down my walls constantly
I fight you all the way for you not to
While I secretly am rooting for you
As you’ve turned around my world
And gave me all this girl deserves
You’re the best gift a woman could get
You are so easy to be in love with

All I ever need to continue to persist
So in love, never before; my best gift

Starlet

So young and vulnerable,
things are rushing by so quick
Still too naive to understand it,
but that changes nothing

Don’t let anyone dull your affect
Shine just like you should, Starlet
It’s not their business, it’s your life
To live and not regret, rise Starlet
All day putting on a smile, but secretly every night crying
After all if you spoke up, no one would understand your pain

You’ve been strong for so long
So shine away now, Starlet
Make all of your own decisions
You’re the one living it, Starlet
Take hold, no looking back
Focus on your own track

Then you’ll be where you belong
Straight to the very top, Starlet
Your tears are dry and gone
You showed them you’re strong

Because you never gave up
Starlet, so bright, just shine
It is due time, you are a Star

What I Want
Jenni Littzi May 2018
I’ve never been an old fashion girl
Needing boyfriends to feel fulfilled
I enjoy my independence and thrills
My risky clothing with high heels
I know what I want all on my own
But it doesn’t mean I need it alone

I want to be in something equal
With a charming man who will
Do little things, just like I’d do as well
I want shown and told only the real
With sweet gestures given just because
We both feel it and care that much
A relationship build on solid trust
I simply want a non-complicated love

I know every couple has their downs
And now and then I may feel doubt
But I need us to be able to talk it out
I may be strong-willed to the eye
But we all need chivalry to be alive
It’s a hope in every female’s mind

I want just honesty above all else
Pride put to the side for both of us
So that in the end the winner is love
I want trust in return that I deserve
For being a good girl in soul and heart
No matter how I look on the outside
A guy seeing right through my eyes
I want a true love by my side for life

I know I can cope without a man
But I would rather have the plan
That includes the whole shebang

I want to be treated like a lady
Taken serious and yet gracefully
Even if I can go on and handle it
I don’t need to be told what to do
I can be complete as just little me
Just think it makes plenty more sense
To have it all; including a good man
Simply put, I need just your existence

No one else is necessary, no one will do
Just cannot picture my life without you
A touch of fairy tale, old fashion love
At least I really do know what I want

Mistakable
Jenni Littzi May 2018
I was holding on by love
Until you dropped me hard
Always so protective of me
Until you chose to be free
So you knocked me down
To where I can’t be found

Didn’t like when I wasn’t IN love
Now you act like you never were
Now that I am fully capable
You act like this is impossible
Your love was all mistakable

Did everything I could for you
Even cared about your family too
Went out of my way in every way
And now I’m left hurt by everybody
Out of nowhere, traumatized by lies
You used me but you’ll be surprised

Didn’t like when I wasn’t IN love
Now you act like you never were
You pushed until I was finally able
Then you forgot who I even was
Your love was all mistakable

Who do you think put forever in my head?
Who do you think wanted commitment from the beginning?
Feel like the last year of my life has only been a lie
And I blame you for me being here, bleeding scared

Didn’t like when I wasn’t IN love
Now you act like you never were
You are a fake, a lying snake
And you erased a great thing
Your love was all mistakable

Over and Done
Jenni Littzi May 2018
It is all just over and done
Like you did something wrong
Knocked you down out of the blue
Now laying dazed and confused
Lost the future that you knew
So I’m just over and done, too

If they don’t want to try
There’s nothing there to fight
Yet they cry and they cry
But they left you, so why?
No answers, just dead silence
Tearing my soul to many pieces

Make an excuse for the love
Wanting to believe the best
Get angry and tell them off
Figure they were like the rest
Pick up the pieces; cry again
Then I start from the beginning

How can it be over and done?
Not one sign of awareness
Your whole life now different
Those future plans all dead
Yet everyone just says let go
I’m just over and done, as well

Some Gone, Others Come
Jenni Littzi May 2018
Somewhere down this long road
We all changed and stopped caring
And it can hurt deep inside to know
Wanting to try is wasting your time

But life has all different stops
And people’s paths will move on
Going in all different directions
Than the one you have traveled

Just have to learn to let go
Remember all of the good
Accept things weren’t meant
To stay where you once stood
Sure, it’s going to cause hurt
And while some have gone
Please remember others come

Feeling it deep inside your soul
But the others can’t see the toll
Have to accept what’s now known
Life has shifted each one’s course

Maybe no one even changed
It could only seems that way
Since things are so different
But it doesn’t stop the ache

Just have to learn to let go
Remember all of the good
Accept things weren’t meant
To stay where you once stood
Sure, it’s going to cause hurt
And while some have gone
Please remember others come

You can try to fight it all
But even you probably have
Forgotten to make some calls
Things naturally grow apart

But while some have gone
Remember the very great,
New ones that have come

People Change
Jenni Littzi May 2018
You would understand
Why I won’t take your hand
If you knew my indiscretions
From my lovers to my friends

A lot has happened, no matter the fault
But they changed; however, I did not

And all along came the judgements
From the most loved ones
But all I could do is land
So I came down to my own sanity

A lot has happened, no matter the fault
But they changed; however, I did not

And here you are to rescue me
Make me feel human again
To make me matter again

A lot has happened, no matter the fault
But they changed; however, I did not

Picking Up the Pieces
Jenni Littzi May 2018
He gave me the moon and stars
Then took them back away
Leaving me alone in the dark
Didn't see this coming from the start

Now I'm picking up the pieces
But it's not quite the same
I see you never cared at the least
It was all just fun and games
But I'll carry on, with you gone

And it hit me like a tornado
Threw me around and killed our love
No time was there to prepare
All that was left is despair

Now I'm picking up the pieces
But it's not quite the same
I see you never cared at the least
It was all just fun and games
But I'll carry on, with you gone

Drowning in sorrow, awake as can be
It was all for granted, now that I see

Now I'm picking up the pieces
But it's not quite the same
I see you never cared at the least
It was all just fun and games
But I'll carry on, with you gone

Controversy
Jenni Littzi May 2018
You speak the truth like a politician
Engaged with others in a conversation
You steal the show at another’s event
So do you care what’s even meant?

I must ask, how backwards can you be?
Do you know to get from point A to B?
Could you cause anymore controversy

You know how to twist the truth into a lie
Just as if it were you trying to save a life
You’d have someone fall for the laugh
So would you leave me in a draft?

I must ask, how backwards can you be?
Do you know to get from point A to B?
Could you cause anymore controversy

It’s all about you, you, you
Forgetting how to act
Not knowing what to do

I must ask, how backwards can you be?
Do you know to get from point A to B?
Could you cause anymore controversy

Insomniac
Jenni Littzi May 2018
I'd say I didn't sleep well last night
But for me that's normal and alright
Play around awhile on my phone
Learning more than I should know

If it’s so natural, why am I awake?
It’s not fair, but what you gonna say

Stare at the ceiling while daydreaming
In my world it's not normal to be sleeping
Walked to the kitchen for a thousandth time
Can't find rest there, but sure something on my mind

If it’s so natural, why am I awake?
It’s not fair, but what you gonna say

Play some music and realize I think more
Try again, turned it off and got bored
It's such a trite situation, but I deal
It's now four am, the habit is the deal

If it’s so natural, why am I awake?
It’s not fair, but what you gonna say

Learning Process
Jenni Littzi May 2018
What all I have learned most about love
Came from those I never should have trust
I was taught enough by the wrong ones
It’s all made me just want to close up

It’s a learning process
And you learn as you go
The ending you never know

One day a lesson may be sent from above
Until that day, I know all the wrong stuff
So deep within love I can only wish luck
Because I have no idea what is up

It’s a learning process
And you learn as you go
The ending you never know

Maybe the next one can teach me
About all that’s been misleading

It’s a learning process
And you learn as you go
The ending you never know

Love
Jenni Littzi May 2018
Love is fabulous
Love is disastrous
Especially when
Someone crashes it
Into tiny shards sharp
Can't untangle the heart

Love, what would we do without it
Love, it’s our own ***** habit

Love feels so good
Love feels so evil
When someone
Wants you gone
Love saved me
Love nearly killed me

Love, what would we do without it
Love, it’s our own ***** habit

It can start out great
Then dissipate

Love, what would we do without it
Love, it’s our own ***** habit

Love, what would we do without it
Love, it’s our own ***** habit

Weeds
Jenni Littzi May 2018
Beginning again a new life
I got so caught up in the lie
I can’t even see what’s right
Too long I’ve been so blinded
Can’t even find my way at night

I picked the weeds but let the flowers grow
I try to let go and let my life go with the flow
I clipped off the chains in hopes of regaining
The life I once knew that left me in the blue

Now I feel my time has past
Feelings in my mind that last
I need to shake them off completely
And remember how to be me
While letting go of the bad

I picked the weeds but let the flowers grow
I try to let go and let my life go with the flow
I clipped off the chains in hopes of regaining
The life I once knew that left me in the blue

Once the sun rises, I’ll feel more wiser
It will be clear, how to get back to there

I picked the weeds but let the flowers grow
I try to let go and let my life go with the flow
I clipped off the chains in hopes of regaining
The life I once knew that left me in the blue

Low Key
Jenni Littzi May 2018
You always liked to say I’m crazy
But you should know that, baby
I was only ever acting up
Because you would make me

I’m going to be just fine, alright
I just want something low key
Honestly, trustworthy, and right
I just need more patience to see
Low key, hospitality, is what I need

Your love was a sort of illusion
Had me caught up in confusion
It was all too good to be true
How did I not catch that truth

I’m going to be just fine, alright
I just want something low key
Honestly, trustworthy, and right
I just need more patience to see
Low key, hospitality, is what I need

It was always me that was the problem
But ridding you seemed to solve them

I’m going to be just fine, alright
I just want something low key
Honestly, trustworthy, and right
I just need more patience to see
Low key, hospitality, is what I need

One Day
Jenni Littzi May 2018
You don’t want me anymore
I don’t fulfill your world
I’m good enough for fun
But I’m just not the one

I’m so, so sorry to say
But you made a mistake
And one day you’ll pay

You’re so, so immature
But I wanted it to work
Woke up and around I turn

I know you knew all along
Had your plan from the start
Thought I was dumb enough
To keep on giving my time and love

I’m so, so sorry to say
But you made a mistake
And one day you’ll pay

You’re so, so immature
But I wanted it to work
Woke up and around I turn

Someday you’ll see
What you were too blind to believe

I’m so, so sorry to say
But you made a mistake
And one day you’ll pay

You’re so, so immature
But I wanted it to work
Woke up and around I turn

Dreams
Jenni Littzi May 2018
I just wanted to leave
My footprints in the sand
But everything I try, it ends
I can’t find my place on this land

Dreams are hard to catch
But you’ll never know
Until you throw that ball

I’m just trying to make you proud
But you lost faith in me long ago
I just want to leave my mark
Please, no more scars

Dreams are hard to catch
But you’ll never know
Until you throw that ball

Everyone fails, falls and loses
Just keep on creating

Dreams are hard to catch
But you’ll never know
Until you throw that ball

Take Me Away
Jenni Littzi May 2018
I love you and promise you this
You’re going to be my last kiss
Never worry sweating the small stuff
You’ll never have to fear not enough

Take me away, darling, to the moon
I’m going to let your love consume
Others will be telling us to get a room
But it’s just love, it’s not promiscuous

I promise to never take you for granted
I’ll never give you a reason to go frantic
Never worry about my feelings leaving
I promise nothing here is deceiving

Take me away, darling, to the moon
I’m going to let your love consume
Others will be telling us to get a room
But it’s just love, it’s not promiscuous

Im not perfect but I’m perfect for you
Once things begin, you’ll see it too

Take me away, darling, to the moon
I’m going to let your love consume
Others will be telling us to get a room
But it’s just love, it’s not promiscuous

Cloud Nine
Jenni Littzi May 2018
I hope you don’t mind
I put down in words
How wonderful life is
Now that you’re in my world
I didn’t know it’d be this joyous
It is a blessing for us
I love having you around
And I want to tell the town

I don’t want to be another girl
Just another girl, in your world
I want it all and I will not stop
I’ll still be on cloud nine after it all

Always there when I need it
Always make sure I’m treated
Count on you through thick and thin
My lover but became my best friend
Now that you’re here with me
I just feel totally completed
You are the best that there is
And I will tell the whole city this

I don’t want to be another girl
Just another girl, in your world
I want it all and I will not stop
I’ll still be on cloud nine after it all

Times get tough, but we get rough
Life goes by, but you’re by my side
Communication is key for you and me

I don’t want to be another girl
Just another girl, in your world
I want it all and I will not stop
I’ll still be on cloud nine after it all

Broken
Jenni Littzi May 2018
I can’t stop the tears falling down
I can’t turn upside down this frown
How does one stay grounded?
Within this mess of a world

I’m not just sad, I’m fully broken
I’m not in a nightmare, I’m awoken
I have nothing left to offer you
At least I used to feel like a token

To say it’s complicated; understatement
It’s more than just a depressed day
It’s my life, it’s always, it’s the way
And I try everyday to break away

I’m not just sad, I’m fully broken
I’m not in a nightmare, I’m awoken
I have nothing left to offer you
At least I used to feel like a token

I’ll break free eventually
Just believe in me

I’m not just sad, I’m fully broken
I’m not in a nightmare, I’m awoken
I have nothing left to offer you
At least I used to feel like a token

Known Better
Jenni Littzi May 2018
I should have known better
But I was in a lot of shock
Couldn’t believe what was going on

I should have known better
But I was caught up in the heat
I could not even begin to think

I should have known better
But I thought we’d all be closer
Oh, where did I get that notion

I should have known better
But you see, I have no self esteem
And he was pouring me many drinks

I should have known better
But it started innocent enough
I was shy, but he called my bluff

I should have known better ... human beings
I will say this, just a little bit it may still sting
You’ll both lose, so know I’m here laughing

— The End —
