The ideas are in the palm of your hand
the expertise yours alone to hold
Such a small crowd you run in
but the worlds attention you hold

Entrepreneur
such a fancy name
for something fancy
A mouthful to express
how you don't just let your dreams
be just dreams

Entrepreneur
You are famous where you go
your own boss and money maker
what more could you want,
when you sit on the seat so high?

Entrepreneur
your eyes are leaking
your body is shivering
you have everything
why are you upset?

Entrepreneur
A burden some carry
to realize how small the world can be
when no one thinks you struggle

Entrepreneur
A lonely road to walk
And when the funds run dry
but the ideas won't stop
remember what they say

Entrepreneur
You are one of a kind
you make your dreams reality
you work when everyone clocks out
and understand the magnitude of what you have

Entrepreneur
Be brave
be resilient
be strong
and be proud

to stand out among the crowd
and face the worlds wrath
like it was another Tuesday

Fight
scream
shout
cry
do what ever you need to do

to not give up
I should feel more excited
and even though currently I am
I know it will not last

Once the night is over
reality sits back in
one more night of freedom
one more night to go out
one more night I can afford
not to worry, no doubt

"Live in the moment"
but how can one do that
when everything pulls me back
and nothing but one thing pulls me forward

From a past I miss
to a future I dream
can this excitement
really last
more then tonight?
I hear them
And I think of you
I see them
And hear your voice
I find them more
After knowing you
A simple thing
A seirn, and light
Makes tears ***** my eyes
Not for where they go
But for who rides in them
Understanding the pain
That comes with a badge
Or shield
The tarnished vision
That society has now created
And the lives effected
Over selfish acts of violence

I hear them
I see them
And I think of you
Maybe one day
I will be able to hold you
Ease your pain through the night
Release the tension you hold
But for now
I sit
Swallowing my sobs
And move on
Like my heart didn't just shatter
In a million pieces
"Why are you out there
Your gonna fall"

He's all I look for
All I wish to feel
Just a moment of forever
Once more upon my lips

The gentle caressing
The secrets we shared
The laughs
And the tears

All perfectly chaotic
In the sympathy we called love

But his love is no more
On its way to me
But my body refuses to accept
My heart longing for hi.
My mind racing for a way to be his once more

"Would you let me?
Would you let me fall?
If it ment I was finally with him once more?"
Everyone wants to have a star fall in love with them
The fame
The spotlight
All on them now
But no one stops and thinks about the reality

Your actions are judged.
You are followed everywhere.
You are on the cover of magazines.
So people can tell what you have done right or wrong.

The only escape you will have
Are in stolen moments
Behind locked door
And the windows shut
To keep the world out

Always looking behind your shoulder.
Always on edge of who is around you
Never comfortable in the public eye

are the "Rewards" when a star falls for you
I see them close by
Some days they are closer than others
A boy and a girl
Two souls that call me mom

Both are sweet and caring
but only one is mine by blood
both of their fathers are gone

One killed in a war away from home
the other in a war down the street
Both caring
but taken too soon

Even though we all miss them
We try to find happiness.
The only thing we can't run short of

One day I will hold them in my arms again
And when that day comes
I will cry once more
Thanking those above
that I have my family once again
To dream of what if
To think of a life
That never happened
To live experiences
That will never pass
Become a fascination of some
A balance of time and life

Some use it to escape
Others use it to grow
Me
I use it to think
To think of him
Of them
What my life could have been
If I had just
Said
Yes.
The idea is in my head
the brush and paint the medium
the simple thought
to live in a fantasy

slowly the dream becomes true
as others now see
what I saw
You controlled my childhood
Scarred I would be alone
Scarred of what home would be like after school
Scarred that
no one could love me

Now you have your hold me once more
The unknown possibilities
All magical
All terrifying
All too high for me...

You control my dreams
And make walking up a hassle.


But remember this

Once the cracks appear
Once the chance is given
You will not control me
And I will be free from you
once again
"So why do you have that?"

Because I can't control my past
Because I can't stop my spirals
Because everyone has left me
Because people are scarred of me
Because inside I am a total mess
Because I barely hold myself together
Because I constantly am reminded of what happened
Because I was told I have to high standards
Because every guy used me
Because I don't know how to control myself
"Anxiety"
"What is your greatest fear?"
   "Having this heartache feeling forever"
"Oh, ok"
   "What about you, what do you fear?"
"You really want to know?"
   "Yeah, what keeps you up at night?"

"Being alone"
I tried to walk away
and not cause a scene
but I was pulled back
and asked for my side

Now a simple report
has gone further then I imagined
Did I really do the right thing
or make a mess of everything?

How far do you climb
to get answers
when you know something isn't right?
So simple in definition
and taught that everyone's mater
but then why are mine ignored?

Did I do something wrong?
Did I misbehave?
Did I not walk the tightrope correctly?

Pushed aside by my own blood
Pushed to the ground by a friend
Pushed to stay by a lover

Everyone's feelings matter
but then why do you overlook
mine?
My skin feels weird
my actions aren't right
My thoughts are off
Im watching from behind a glass wall
and I don't feel right

A strange feeling
A weird feelings
of two lives
controlling one body
and neither know what to do
Could you love me
Could you accept all of my baggage
Could you accept my trauma
Could you accept my genetics are worst then before

I don't know if you even exist
or if your just a name in my past
but could you love me entirely
like I would love you?
Flaws and all
till this life ends?
Tick tock
seconds for most
minutes for others

breath in
breath out
heart pounding

My face bruised
the blood drips from the cuts
my eyes slowly look up

Time freezes
the devil grows white
and my target grows weak

Hit me once
shame on you
but you don't get a second hit

one day you'll know my name
one day
ill throw you back in the dirt like you did me
We used to be so close
I used to call you a friend
A friend I never met
I trusted you with my heart
And we made time for each other

Now we don't talk unless I speak first
I send messages you never reply too
When I express why I'm hurt
you fix it for a day
before leaving me alone once more

Now I hope you can find time to talk with me
I hope that I am not an inconvenience to you
I hope that you still care about me

Yet when you've had a bad day
I stop what I am doing
I let you rant on about how bad work is
and when I tell you what's going on
I feel hopeful that I do matter to someone somewhere.

but then the silence comes once more
Showing no one does care
leaving me in the place

where I hope you find the time
that I make for you
So swift
So small
you blink
and its gone

Small idea
Large applications
understanding
the concepts beneath

Stories untold
Inventions to be created
Past pain
coming back up

So swift
So small
All the thoughts
of a troubled mind
Typed words on a page
1's and 0's on a server
Endless words of the unknown

All silent
all still
but causes emotions to pour out of strangers

No one bats an eye
to these words on a screen
unless your count is high

no one cares
until the words stop
and forever becomes never

Forever time will go on
Never will anyone ever see this
And one day, the words will stop

frozen in time
frozen forever
still and haunting of what could have been.
Looked over
Ignored
Pushed aside

I work with what I have
but yet others get special treatment
and I'm once again told I can't do something

When I speak questions
I am yelled at
and cut with a knife
called "Insincere"
and family grows smaller

Messages of love and hope
are overlooked
in the chaos of the job

everyone forgets me
so who would care
if I just disappeared?
I sit at night
writing in ink
hoping it lasts the test of time
Quill and ink
every drop
a purpose intended
The only place I feel free
Free to look at myself
and question thoughts in my head
but is this freedom really free
When no one sees the words I write?
The concept simple
The reality much different
It was suppose to be a new start
A new chapter of invention
A new road being paved
But the chains still hold
the obligation of blood
The concept of staying

I shouldn't be bitter
I shouldn't be upset
"Enjoy the time you have"
but when its holding me back
is it still worth it?
Talk at work
Talk at play
Talk with everyone during the event
Talk with the visitors who never stay

Talk with everyone
But no one talks to you
Outside of where you met

Is it too much
To wish some to mix
And finally have
At least, just one
Friend?
Many know me
I'm there at a drop of the hat
Yet
When I need one
There is no one
My phone is silent
And I sit alone
Hoping for something
But nothing will change
And I am forever alone
Books of old
Line the shelves

So full of wonder
So full of life

But the energy required
To pull one down
Is much to bear

The act to find a distraction
Is daunting itself
And way to much to bear

So I'll sit still
Unsure my next move
Wondering if this breath is my last

As my mind runs a million miles a hour
Trying to find some energy


To live fully again
Tears and sobs
Turns into smiles and laughs

Emptiness
Turns into a feeling wanted

Isolation
Turns into carring

Some much change
One way or the other

Love to heartache
Friends to strangers

Alone once more
And not sure what to do

I can message who ever I want
But does the knowledge help

When I don't want anyone
But the one I lost?
The story is there
The conflict is perfect
The ending will be a page-turner

but why do I struggle to write a single paragraph
I use to write pages
Stories just flowed off the keys

Now it's like a burden to type a single letter

Am I ready for the story
or is the world not ready for the tale?
Time is seen in the fading scars,

The understanding of the pain one felt,

The memories haunt them,

But slowly, they are getting better,

They didn't notice,

Until their first thought after pain,

Wasn't to make a new scar.
Its been months seen I've seen your face
yet I could see it clearly as the fence flew by
and that swift sweet moment
came rushing back in clarity

Was this my mind
accepting that I was moving on
or was this you
calling out once more
hoping that we salvage the destruction we created

My little devil
you still haunt my dreams
you still have part of my heart
but I need to find a new

I want the peace you search for yourself
I still look for you
despite the years it's been
beyond the time you last touched my skin
I still long for you

Looking for that spark we had in others
and coming up empty
because none will compare to you

I still miss you
and feel like I'm still crying in the rain
as you drove away

away from me
away from us
away from what could have been

so I hope
pray that one day you'll relise
that despite how you view yourself
that you are still loved

unconditionally
unchanged
everlasting

you still have my heart
and one day I hope we meet again
even if it is to see you one last time
A+T
In a crowded room
So many eyes scan
Each a mind, and a life
But yet they do nothing
For the one creating glass tears
Silent they look away
Hoping they do not stay
Golden Feather
so light and pure
your light
casts away the darkness
simple yet strong
innocent in war
perfect and flawed
both the truth
simple and powerful
burn bright Golden Feather
and keep the monsters away
Tonight
"Did you loose weight?"
"You look so fit"
"I don't know what you did, but you look amazing"
"Man I wish I could look like you"

I stopped eating

not on purpose
but it was easier to pay rent
if I had 1 or 2 meals versus the normal 3

I started to loose sleep

Causing my mind to be on alert
and forcing my body to move
even when I am so tired

I just want to live
and yet I am punished for it
and praised for how good

sick looks on me
A day of celebration
When one walks across the stage
and grabs a piece of paper

However, when faced with the same situation
I realize I am not the woman people expect
instead, I am a scared little girl
living in fear
and hiding in my room

Once again
counting days till I move
while living a hell
and putting on a pretty face, so no one speculates

Once more, I sit
numb to lifes situations
scarred of the unknown
and hiding to prevent fights

Once more
I graduate from hell
Big room
Lights all around
Everyone's eyes on the stage

Cheers break out
for every name called
as they walk across

Unknown to all
some sit and watch
not feeling the excitement of the moment

Going through the motions
seems like a task
better left for tomorrow

Would it matter
if I graduated
tomorrow?
You were a rock I didn't know I had
A ship that kept me afloat in the endless sea
And loosing you hurt like he'll

But the damage that was caused afterwards
The fighting and breaking
Only made the pain of missing you grow more

I miss your wisdom
I miss you taking me to play
I miss just spending time with you

People talk about the both of you
And say how I'm like you two
Business spitfire from hell
But a caring loyal creator

I only knew one of you
But I feel like I know the other pretty well
And seing your names covered in stone that day

Going back to the beginning of my problems
The start or a chain reaction
I relized how much I missed you

And even though I know your the one who saved me
That lonely night in December
I still wish you were here with us

Just so I could get to say goodbye grandma
Time ticks by
Some people celebrate numbers
And others dread them
All the same in the end

One more tick on life's counter
till a relaxation of death comes

No one can reverse it
not are we the same are before
time changes us all
situations shape us
as we
grow up


and try to find our place in life
I long for the day
when I look at my spouse and children
And wanting to pinch myself
because it feels like a dream

A dream that I rarely get now
A dream I hope for
A dream I realize
that is just a dream

I wake up by a million alarms
each one just makes me feel worse
Because I can't go back to my perfect dream

The dream where I am loved
The dream where I am safe
The dream where I can
have the happily ever after

that I will never have
Her smile is intoxicating
Her personality contagious
Her mind
a lovely prison
Slowly they come
Men of all ages
All trying to win her hand
But soon, they become poisoned
From her love

So true
So pure
So deadly
Unable to control it
Shes watches them choke
And slowly die
from loving her

Alone she lives
Broken men surround her
Reminders of her curse
No matter what she tries
the poison seeps through
And kills everything
but her
Why does it hurt so much?

previously your absence was a relief
now its pain

maybe because of the way it ended
or maybe because of what was said

but why does it hurt
and I can't cry anymore???
Her
Her
She was perfection
A goddess in mortal form
The definition of beauty
and had such a fragile heart

A heart that I dropped
A heart that I cracked
A heart
that I shattered

she watched in horror as I pushed her away
I screamed at her to go away
I told her I didn't need her

She used to come back.
She used always to be there
She used to support me

Once I shattered her heart
She left and didn't come back
and I was alone once again

I broke her because I hated myself.

She carries her head high now
her smile gleaming for miles
her energy filling up rooms full of joy
Would never know I shattered her heart

A million pieces it broke
but in the end
it was my heart I broke
A million pieces
a million tears

and none will bring her back to me
I want you here
I want you to hold me
and tell the world to leave me alone
I like your arms to keep me at night
and I want your lips to kiss every inch of my body
but as much as I want you here
Next to me
I can't have it


You wake up every day
tired from the day before
and you still find the energy
to run and help at a moments notice

You are there helping people
saving them when there is no hope
Calming blazes till their out
You're a hero to them...


So how can I want you
when it would be
taking someone's hero away
at the moment when they need one the most?
My first kiss
My first friend
My first shoulder to cry on
My first support
My first love

But life is a cruel thing
Taking him so young
Leaving a stone and flag
I cried for years
Our son trying his best to support me
But how can a child help the parent

So much pain
So much fear
And I never wanted to forgive him
He didn't have to leave
He could have stayed
Stayed with us
Watch his son grow

But I guess remembering you
Is better then having you hear
Despite my longing for you
Craving your touch once more
We found happiness in the pain

We still visit you
Still loop you in when something happens
Leave you a seat at events
Like his band concert last fall

I think we're finally finding that happiness again
We can never replace you
Nor do we try
But we are getter better
One day at a time
So simple
To hide something
You must hide it
in plain sight

Deep under the obvious
above the known

So is it really hidden then
or just waiting for the right time?
Three years
Three simple years

1st was great
finding love
standing up and speaking of the past
experiencing hurt
but feeling whole

2nd was different
lost many friends
grew close to others
still figuring out love
but trying to find peace with myself once more

3rd
3rd was one I wish not to speak about
one about pain
one about torment
one where my biggest regret lies

would I change it, perhaps
but I wouldn't be the same
but I also wouldn't dread a friendly visit
even if it is just talk
Empty
Gone
Dust in the wind

A husk of a body
With no soul left to live

Where is joy
Where is hope
When a desire
Is also a greatest fear

Hearts long
Brains clash
Could there ever be love
In the rough broken seas?

How can one love
The hollow of a person
Who use to be?
A term that means many things
A love and caring space
Or a nightmare one can not escape

H
O
M
E

Simple yet so much power
just like

L
O
V
E

New chapter
New city
New job

The sea of life tried to drown us
Not understanding
this was not the first storm we had been in

Excite and joy bubble out now
The anticipation holding us hostage
Soon we will be free

And though pain will come again
It can never take away my home
ever again
Normal people hope for love
They hope for dreams
Hope for fanesty to be real

Others hope for basic necessities
Understanding from another
Far and few dreams to be

But I hope for one thing
Something so small
Many would laugh at

I hope
Not to be broken
Once more

By person
By action
Or by thing

I wish not to feel the gut rentching pain
That is hope crashing to the ground
Shattering to dust

Is that so much to ask
Not to be broken once more?
Maybe the pencil will help
the brush my voice
hopefully
by something small
I can find the joy
that I seem to be missing
So strange

To lay so still
To be frozen under the sheets
Wondering how you feel

When the last time
Your were in a borrowed one
Was with another
And you were happy then
