Sane
Your pain
Is in vain
It corrupts your brain
Makes you insane
Makes it hard to restrain
Like resisting rain
Try to refrain
Time to Heal again
So much to gain
If you give up your pain
So you can try to remain
Sane
No mind drain
Keep life plain
So you can be yourself again
I try to remain
Sane
No mind drain
Keep life plain
Thank you to jobira

Bear
You are caring,
Passionate, intellectual,
You have an intense pure aura
I feel peaceful and calm around you
I feel drawn to you
When I'm near you it's like a connection that I felt from a past life
Like our souls are connected
Like we are meant to always find each other

Poor
People look at me
But they don't see
They say I am poor
When they walk in my door
I look around and say
I see it another way
I have a roof over my head
Im not laying Outside dead
I have food in my tummy
Even if its not always yummy
I have a van that runs
Even if it loudly humms
I have my angels that I love
Even if they misbehave
I have a family that loves me
I wish you could see
I am rich as can be
Value is in the eye of the beholder I don't consider myself poor I have what I need so I am rich forever more

Addicted
You're the first thought when I wake
About what a pair we make
the last thought when I close my eyes
About how we have no lies

I can't get you out of my brain
Thoughts of you pours in like rain
you've taken over my head
Every time we talk I turn red
I've known you for years
you're still here to wipe away my tears
even though we are far apart
I'm afraid you've stolen my heart even though we were intimate in the past
it was never more than just a blast
it was never meant to last
You've still been my friend
I never want it to end
I had given up on love
you flew into my life like a dove these past few months just talking to you
seems too good to be true
I can't help but miss you
I never saw before
how wonderful you are
like you fell from a star
I wish you weren't so far

I remember when we were teenagers
attacking eachother like tigers

The more I remember our old habits
it reminds me when we bred like rabbits

I dream of the old days
I think about you in many ways
I wake up in a daze
You put me in a craze

If its the last thing I do
I will find a way to be with you

Children
Innocent
Pure
Full of life
Intelligent
Sure
Free of strife
They run in the sun
Till the day is done
They don't play dumb
They just want to have fun
Full of energy
Full of joy
The don't pay electricity
Outside is their toy
No responsibilities
Just possibilities
Innocently honest
Say what's on their mind
They are Ernest
can think their way out of a bind
Love with all their heart
Even when they're apart
They know no bounds
To be a child innocent and pure is a precious gift of that im sure
I don't have a big screen TV
My old school screen is big enough for me

I don't have a big fancy house
I don't have a spouse
But bills are paid
Who cares that i don't get laid
My house May be small
But I have just enough to pay for it all

I don't have a high paying job
Im not a rich snob
Hours are long
With a steady paycheck I can't go wrong

My children's fathers are not around
I still stand my ground
I have been their only support
Even after going to court
My day revolves around them
I love my children
They make me grin

I don't have fancy organic food
But I fill the fridge which puts me in a good mood

I don't have a fancy new car
My van still starts and runs you can hear it roar

You say I am poor
I say I am rich forever more

Glass half empty?
Glass half full?
Let me see....
I think its all bull

The measure of a person isn't their wallet
But by the measure of their heart

Sunshines
You are my sunshines
My three sunshines
Without you my sky's are grey
You'll never know my dears how much I miss you
Please my sunshines come back someday
The long nights while I lay sleeping
I dream I hold you in my arms
but when I wake my dears
I was mistaken
so I hang my head and I cry
You are my sunshines
my three sunshines
When you're not with me
My sky's are grey
You never know my dears
How much I LOVE YOU
PLEASE DONT TAKE MY SUNSHINES AWAY
The song I sang to my kids revamped to how I feel without them

Have you ever noticed????
Do you ever notice....
There's always one person
That finds a reason
To yell
Or tell
At or on you
Sad but true

Do you ever notice...
They find one thing
To dislike about you

Have you ever noticed.....
That no matter how good you are
Doing everything right
Someone finds one mistake
That's all it takes
For them to say
You aren't good enough

Have you ever wondered....
How when you are the victim
The person that hurt you
Says they are the victim
And all the things they did to you
Never happened
All they say is what you did
To get out of the situation
Its all stipulation

Have you ever. ....
Been so vulnerable
that you opened up to the wrong person
They turn you're words around and make you wish you were invisible

Have you ever noticed. ....
That there are more bad people than good?
And all the good are misunderstood

Have you ever noticed? ??

Fantasy
I fantasize about it would be like to have you makes me wonder if you would be true I ponder what it would be like to kiss your plump lips I fantasize about your skin pressed against mine passion and heat kissing your chocolate skin moaning when you put it in
Is it just infatuation? Or just ****** frustration? Could it turn into love? Or is it just lust? I don't know but I just want you to ******

Weakness
People think I am strong
                                They are wrong
But I just soldier on
                               I am just a pawn
My kindness
                              Is my weakness
I love with my all
                      That is my down fall
I try to put up this wall
                         I try to stand tall
But I get knocked down
                     Fear that i will drown
In a pool of tears
                     Created by my fears
I am weak
                   But I don't act meek
I turn the other cheek
               While I continue to seek
The strength within
                                Trying to win
Kindness is my weakness

Black beauty
Addicted to your touch
Long for your embrace
Wish I could tell you how I feel
Your brown skin against mine
Caressing the contours of your face
This feeling inside
Is getting harder to hide
I dread the day that I might accidentally blurt out those three words
Should I hide hide how I feel
Is what im feeling real?
Should I let my love soar?
Or should I close that door?
Im unsure
Don't have a cure
My black beauty
Could you possibly love me?
This is not a fantasy

Hope
Blue skys
Dry eyes
Sunshine
Fun times
Clouds appear
People fear
Rain to come
Fun is done
Sky opens
Rain pours
People cry
Fear they'll die
Chaos of the unknown
People groan
Winds gust
We don't trust
Hail cascades
Clouds fade
Rain goes away
That's all for today
Colors appear
A rainbow is here
Dry your eyes
Don't you cry
Hope is here
In the darkest of times
There's always hope for tomorrow
After every storm there's a rainbow
This is a rewrite

Treason on my heart
You're  my addiction
You're my obsession
You're my reason
For treason

My heart called mutiny on my brain
My heart took multiple years to train
My heart is on the mend it started to feel again
Thoughts of you flood my brain like rain

We have an interesting history
We have an intriguing story
We have amazing chemistry
We have never had to say sorry

These 10 years we were apart
Closed my heart
Now that you've come back
You've given me a heart attack
My feelings awakened with a start
You've reopened my heart

I thought my feelings were dead
Now you're inside my head
When we talk I turn beat red
So much we haven't said

We first met 14 years ago
You had such a big ego
You called yourself physco
But in reality you were neato

I missed you
I hope my feelings are true
Welcome back my old friend
I never want this to end

Fall Apart
Heart aching
Body shaking
Earth quaking
Sun shining
Clouds climbing
Rain pouring
You tore my heart
I fell apart
I gathered the pieces
You went places
You left me alone
I was on my own
You were lone
Now you want your thrown?
You left me in a heap of my own sorrow now you want to come home tomorrow?
I hardened my heart
That you tore apart
Now you want a new start?
My love was pure
Now im not sure
My heart was true
I loved you
I wish it was that simple
Like popping a pimple
You want to start anew
I wish your love were true

If you let hate rule your life you will have nothing but strife

Meant to be
When I see your face
as we go from place to place
my heart beats faster
my knees get weak
My stomach hurts
I can hardly breath
My heart pounding
My body shaking
Pull me closer
Im yours for the taking
Kiss my lips
Grab my hips
Hold me tightly
Undress me slightly
Heavy breathing
Just what Im needing
You are the fuel to my fire
You are my hearts desire
You are the song in my heart
Even when we are far apart
You make me feel like me
You make me feel free
Maybe its meant to be

Isolation
I live my life in isolation
I feel the worlds devastation
I keep it all trapped inside
All my pain and anger I hide
You'll never see
the darkest Part of me
You'll see me but you won't see
The true me
I smile at the world
Even though my heart is wounded
My pain is hidden
behind my grin
You'll say its a sin
But I hold up my chin
Noone can hurt me again
There's a hole in my heart
Where everyone ripped me apart
I wouldn't know where to start
To repair a holy heart
So I will hide my pride
And slowly die
My eyes remain dry
Its too late to try
My isolation is my own devastation my soul is beyond recognition
So when you see me smile at you know that it isn't true and there's nothing you can do because there is no glue to fix the hole in my heart that humanity tore apart.

Rollercoaster called life
You're born
Told who to be
Told What to do
Told what to see
Told how to be you
Told how to feel

Then one day you see what is real
You see the hate
You see the pain
You wonder why this is our fate
You try to remain Sane

One day your up
One day your down
There's tears and a frown
Other days you're a clown
You get angry
Which is scary
Then you break down and cry
Until one day you die

Taught how to live
Taught how to love
Taught how to hate
Told its our fate
Then its too late
Taught its not ok to cry
Noone teaches you how to die
We're told its all about love
I guess its all comes from above
Revised version

false love
You had my heart
You tore it apart
I gave my all
I catch you when you fall
I gave you kisses
You gave me bruises
I stood by you
I was true
I was in deep
You left when I was asleep
Didn't know how bad it was
Until a knock at the door
It was the Fuzz
I don't want no more
Leave and don't come back
I will wear black
Im in mourning
The death of our love
Has my tears pouring
thought u were sent from above
All lies
Now our love dies
Found out the truth
You lied through your tooth
I now know what is real
Being alone is ideal

Burning desire
There's a fire burning inside
That i try to hide
So many times I have lied
But there's no pretending
That a desire is burning
Lust yearning
To be set free
Inside of me
I yearn to be touched
Give anything to be caressed
But that's not enough
I want to be rough
I want to be thrown onto the bed
Or even the floor would work instead
I want to be kissed
I want to be licked
I want to be suckled
I want to be cuddled
Skin on skin
It may be a sin
But I want someone to put it in.
I tried not to be to ******

Relief
Suffered
             Endured
                             Worked hard Jumped through hoops
                        Ran around in loops
With sweat on my brow
           Needing to get things done
Not knowing how
          Sometimes wanting to run
I pushed ahead
                I wanted to cry in bed
But my hands bleed red instead
             Hard work determination
Refusing termination
             Holding my head up high
Happy I didn't die
                        As I wipe my eye
Happy its not a lie
                                    Relief
               Disbelief
Pain almost at an end
         Thank god for a good friend
Keeping me sane
                 Keeping my brain tame
I have knocked on doors
                              I have rang bells
Well no more
                    That's enough hell
I will stand tall
        Not backed up against a wall
Proved them all wrong
              Showed them I am strong
I will do it all
                          I refuse to fall
I have climbed up out of the hole they put me in
                          They
                   will
           not
  win
Hard work pays off
Sometimes you want to give up
But with blood sweat and tears
You can accomplish anything

Hobo
People walk by
They act like They're shy
They don't want to meet your eye
They think they're being sly
As you watch them walk by

They avert they're eyes
While you're self esteem slowly dies
While an angel cries

If they could truly see you
Not at what you have to do
To survive

Sitting there with your sign
While people pretend to be blind
Grungy clothes
***** face
As they call you a waste of space
As you waste away
To nothing
All you want is to eat today
Anything
wish you could just get something

They don't know you're story
They don't care
You don't want them to feel sorry
Just to be fair

You hit hard timess
don't want to revert to crimes

You just want an ear
That will hear
When you shed a tear

You just want someone to be kind
Instead of grind
Theyre teeth at you
You just want them to see you
Not what they believe to be true

Hitchhiker
Met by chance on a highway
Instant friends
Liked you right away
Confused
Conflicting emotions
Hard to look away
Your eyes are like magnets
Our souls connected
But you went away
Didn't know what to say
Wish I could have
convinced you to stay
What I have
Who I am
I would have shared
What's meant to be
Isn't certain
The future
Isn't written
If your travels
Bring you back
To me
Imagine how happy
I would be
If you don't
Want to come my way
Then I will
Just live another day

Im done with bruises
Im done with excuses
Im done with lies
Im done drying my eyes
Im done with the pain
Im done with you controlling my brain
Im done having hope
Im done with you and your dope
Im done with your drunken rage
Im done feeling like Im trapped in a cage
Im done with you playing victim
Im done being your victim
Im done being weak
Im done with you making me feel meek
Im done trying to convince you
Im done being abused by you
Im done being stepped on

Im done trying to get you to talk to your son
Im done giving you chances
Im done with second glances
Im done with you
Im just done noone to blame but you

Suicide
Struggling with pain
Corroding the brain
Slowly turning insane
Glaring at the knife
Just wanting to end the strife
No one to be a friend
Just want it to end
Contemplating suicide
Considering how to decide
Flip a coin let it ride

Heads the knife
Tails deal with strife

Heads
wide up dead

Tails
Live to tell the tale

Its odd to say
But life happens this way

Your born you die
In between you cry

Many people contemplate suicide
How do you decide?
To live?
To die?

All the time glaring at the knife
Wanting to end your strife
Suicide awareness the threat is real

What happened?
I look around and all I see
is stupid people all around me

what happened to common sense?
When I was growing up we didn't need warning labels on everything we weren't that stupid

what happened to work ethics?
When I was a kid we had to work hard if we wanted something now people expect handouts

what happened to being kind to your neighbors?
Growing up everyone in our neighborhood were every race and we were "family"

what happened to respect for your elders?
I was always taught to be kind and respectful of my elders and help them out whenever possible

What happened to morals?
My parents instilled honesty, respect , don't steal, don't cheat, don't help someone else cheat, and treat others the way you want to be treated, in me at a young age I couldn't break them if I wanted to because they are hardwired into my brain.

What happened to telling the truth?
All I ever hear anymore is lies

What happened to society?
We used to play outside, shovel snow for our neighborhood, we didn't use technology, we went on actual dates , holding hands and talking was the best way to show you cared , now people have online relationships never meeting eachother and sending ***** pictures. People text when sitting next to eachother. No-one actually talk to eachother. People now are so stupid that they need warning labels on everything, no-one has god in their hearts.

I was taught that there is good in everyone but when I look around all I see is morons that only care about themselves and will lie cheat and use anyone to get what they want.
Sorry started off as a poem but turned into a rant

Agony
Ripped from my arms
Deprived of your charms
Upon your foreheads  i cannot kiss
Your faces i will miss
Torn from my heart
My heart ripped apart
Wish to hold you all
Can't be there when you fall

Wish to see
My angels three

Mommy is there in your heart
Even though we may be far apart
Sheer agony
Not being able to be there with you three

Lend me your ear
I ponder with wonder on life
Why is there so much strife
Painful like being stabbed with a knife
I try to comprehend
so lend me your ear
if you choose to hear
We only evaluate our own surrounding its astounding
How we ignore
What's behind the door

Theres only one way to change how things are its within our range we don't have to reach for a star
When you choose to see what's clear
lend me your ear
Help those in need
by doing so you plant a seed
Heed my word
Let it soar like a bird
Look around
Listen to the sound
Of people sleeping on the ground
Help others
You get back what you give
That's how you should live
The universe is calling you
What will you do

Fists of rage bursting out of this cage can't restrain the animal much longer everyday it gets stronger. Every time I hear of someone living in fear that death is near I can't escape my rage this animal is strange clawing at my brain its hard to sustain and keep it tame its breaking out there is no doubt
I fear that the animal is here

Dream
It seems these dreams have seeped into my head while in bed
I can't shake this feeling that life is the dream instead
I want wake from this nightmare called life as I wipe away my tear and try to over come my fear
This panic is tragic I wish I could live in my dreams like magic away from all the havic
I dream of a place with no pain no strife no longing for a knife no one to call you insane because everyone is tame
These dreams seem real I just want to feel normal but that's not possible

What
                                  if
         life
                                            is
             ­      just
a
                                 dream

Happy faces
Happy faces
When we go places
Bright eyes
Heavy sighs
Little hands
Holding tight like rubber bands
Hate to hear their cry's
I just dry their eyes
Holding them tight
Wish they didn't have to leave my sight
But soon my angels will be back with me
You will all see
Back where they belong
Here with their mom

Cant wait
I can't wait. ...to be sane
I can't wait. ...to end this pain
I can't wait. .....till you are free
I can't wait. ....till you're home with me

Sunshine
Dark clouds surrounded
Thoughts clouded
Trying to shut out the sunshine
A single ray trys to shine
Darkness shuns the sun
Making sure there's no fun
Single ray continues to shine
Hoping there will come a time
The darkness will lessen
The ray keeps pressing
Determined to break through
Stands strong and true
This ray of sunshine wont back down
Refusing to wear a frown
Wont rest
Will do its best
Keep wearing a smile
All the while

Can't escape this feeling
Trying to hide
how I feel inside
but there is no escaping how I feel
for I know that its real
how can I show you
that my love is true
how do I say I love you
can't escape how I feel
when I know its real

Ignoring the truth
Going about our day
As if i didnt say
Those three words
Both acting as if they werent heard
Said in the heat of the moment
You spoke no comment
The shock on both our faces
Niether of us wanting to face this
When i said i love you
Watched you come unglued
But you werent crued
Just give it time and you will see
The one for you is me

Angels
Angels are everywhere
If you know where
To look
They aren't in a book
But all around you
Its true
A mother holding a newborn
Keeping them warm
Safe from harm
A child
Innocent and pure
Keeping your heart sure
A stranger on the street
That pulls you out of the street
So you don't become roadkill
A friend that takes care of you when you're ill
Angels are all around you
You just need to know where to look

Scared
Scared of how i feel
Scared its not real
Scared its all a dream
Scared i might scream
Scared of what you might say
Scared you wouldnt stay
Scared i might blurt out
Scared i might shout
Scared of three words
I love you
Scary but true

Ignorance
They say ignorance
Is bliss
But there is a difference
Between arrogance
And ignorance
Its a fine
Thin Line
Ignorance is not knowing
Arrogance is not caring
These two go hand in hand
Anyone that is arrogant
Is usually also ignorant
Ignorance is bliss?

Torn
Losing my kids
Losing you
I wish it wasn't true
I wish you could see
You're looking for me
I saw a side of you I don't like
I wish you would say sike
Put things back where it all makes since
When I thought you were heaven sent
