Hello. Thank You. Good-Bye.
Are words I have to say to get your attention
Not because I have to but because I'm paid to
If you only knew how people preseve you
No need for rudeness or attitude
You might just say use manners with the people who matter
With the people who know more than you
It's their job They are suppose to
And if they don't talk to untrained management
Knowledge comes from the top not from the bottom
You get what you give is the Universal Rule, so
Hello. Thank You. Good-Bye.
It's just out of Common Courtesy since you weren't raised in a barn
There's nothing more left to say
You'll go on ignoring me anyway
*Please be Kind to people that help you.*
 This world needs more positivity  -This is a high five and
thank you to all the people who work customer serve jobs.
I see you. Thank you for all your hard work.

Cause you're toxic       Defiled
shedding the old you exposing a new person you have turned into
You're not around me... now
But when you are
I'm falling like I'm drowning
This friendships crowning

Evolved into another person that I just don't need.
Cause you're all full of passive aggressive rage that's melted my sight.
What's hidden and hissing waiting to devoure me.
Brainwashed to all the lies that you've been telling me.
Seducing me, loving me with self loathing injections, posioning.
Leading me to believe. Lies.

In the trenches abandion. Dark. Quite. So I stop being afraid. Nothing flogging me.
Reality: The unforgiving madness. Like a light in the darkness. My Heart.
I see that I can be worthy. I just gotta figure out how to get back my selfesteem again.
No one wants to lick my wounds of unchanging torture.

Cause I have been walking around in a salted skin.
Never healing, never dealing, with all the injuries that I've taken.
Don't want to soak up the death were you've laid me to rest. Cause it's changing me.
You are not me. I will never be you. You wanted me invisible, you still do, when all you can be is you.
Lets call it what it is: Resentment.
You will never be me! Sorry imitation. It's what's in the heart.
Look at me. Strong again.
Prying off the scabs of pain   Disinfecting
Nine years and this is the end.

Unconditional love is what I desire
Support my endeavors thru trial or fire
Success or higher not rally in my defeat
Keep me under your feet
It's a lie and a sword in my heart with your double speak
I wish I wasn't yours and I wish I wasn't mine
I want to see the green on the other side
I listen and wait while time disintegrates
Regretting moments you held me but I waste
Even proving you wrong keeps you head strong
You tell me I pray wrong and accept defeat because I am not in the right track
Thru tears and sadness
Can you hear? Can you see my heart break?
You make me self loath with each breath I take
I have wanted to die since I was in junior high
Yet, no one can tell me why (so I believe them)
Why I was born, Why I can't fly- do what I dream- when I have wings, Why you're them, and Why I care so much.
I want unconditional love .. But what I really want
Is your support and acceptance

We are the Sum of Three
My brothers and me
That's my two brothers and then me

We are all on a journey
One is dying
The other it's searching
There's me; failed disappointment  

We are all artists
One gives love to music and animals
One gives love to drawing and women
The other loves everything but lives in fear

We are a sum of three
We are all broken
We were all suppose to over come
We are all not the hope or better future our parents would have wanted

We are a sum of three
Scattered
Unhappy
Hopeless

We are two boys and a girl
Wanting more out of life
Wanting love and a direction
Wanting what is withheld denied promised

We Are Sadly A Sum Of Three
Who if you saw us on the street
You wouldn't know
We are family

From long ago my memories came
Of those I loved who I'd never see again
I miss them, the ones who'd stand by me
I miss the ones who hugged on me
I miss the birthdays And tiny gifts
I miss the love of growing friendships
I miss the bonding of whence it came
Looks like I will never see it again
I miss the joy and unseemless laughter
I miss the happy ever after
I miss the time when things were true
I miss the love I had for you
I miss what I don't have
Now it's the nostalgia I'll always have
I miss you like I did something wrong
But it's you who left me wondering all along
How I have blamed myself for not understanding how to move on
I miss them all
The people who use to be
From the beginning of my identity
I miss them all cause now you see
I have none to speak of  Cause I'm alone
as lonely as anyone person could be

When smiling was all she knew.
She asked and her father replied
Nobody likes you or trusts people like you
Years pressed but she had faith till
The little girl grew old and her heart grew cold
The world full of people recked her spirit
To her disbelief her father was right
When she came to recognize
Nobody liked a genuinely happy smiley person
Try after try she just ended with tears in her eyes
So she turn her upside down frown down
Permanently
Now grown as beautiful as could be
Her father and the world full of people ask
What could it be?
The frown and those eyes
What happen to make her so angry unhappy mean
She should be happy cheery with glee
The woman who was the girl said
What is wrong me?
This is the person you wanted me to be
Cold as ice Frowning resent
She turned away
To continue life's journey... But
Now and again she'll pull a box with a ribbon
To gaze upon something that's hidden
Her resting box
Wrapped safely inside is the spirit that use to be
Tucked in the last spark of her gentle heart
Closing it sad tears in her eyes
Knowing they would never deserve
Her warmth love beauty spirit or art
Let them live their lives with contradicting hearts

In years gone passed I have failed to mention
A lovely boy of Blue eyes Dark hair
Deep soul to bare
He is my friend Have I failed to mention
There's no body like him
He is tall and trim with a infectious laugh and shiny grin
He is niether here nor there of where I have been
But he is beautiful to all once you've laid eyes on him
He lives NY but when the moon is blue
You'll see the shadow of a boy I once knew
Now he's a man of special occasions
Like theatrical ones have I failed to mention
He can sing like a bird and charm a bee
Make me feel embrassed when he's looking at me
Someday that man will get married
And I don't know when that will be
All I know is that he is beautiful to me
Sequel to Late Lunch
