I like to think (sometimes)
That I am a voice of Reason,
Especially when Reason
Eludes the masses.
I am the back-up plan
When everything goes
Pear-shaped, and You find
Yourself in a Living
Nightmare, struggling to
Survive in a hostile
Hostel far, far from home.
I'll be Your kernel of hope,
When all Reason evades
The light of day and
Night encroaches doomily.

I'm for the under-classes;
The voiceless throngs -
The Real backbones
Unrepresented by the Elite.

I'm for the Prostitutes and the criminally conjoined groupies;
I'm for the Legal Aiders - The reps on the ground, helping as best they can;
I'm for the lost-in-the-system; the poofs and lesso's; the avant-garders -
I'll be the rear-guard actioner, protecting Our arses from undue surprises.
I'll be the validator for the vilified,
And I'll not allow undue cruelty to trouble myn own loved ones -
My hard-lifers and my ugly-fuggly beauties --> Hands off!

And, I'm for the silent souls patiently waiting...so long, so long...
But ever hopeful that someone will rescue and love them too.
[Sorry I took so long to get up to speed. I know You knew way back when.]

I have been broken most of my life hurt and alone.
But only alone through human understanding.
For the Lord my God, he has never left me .
He never will ever leave me either, God is Awesome.
For he has rescue me from so much and he loves me.
He is my rock, my foundation is built upon his love.
For I am very special to him, actually we all are.
For he is the God of Love and Saving Salvation.
He stands at the door of our hearts knocking.
Are you going to let him in, so he can make your heart,,
His home too sharing communing with you.

The world I live in
is quite small.
I live all alone
Just me and the walls
The dust on the cieling
The air chached in bunches
sit patient in corners
waiting for luncheon.
I feed them my time
by standing in places
that have gone untouched
suspended in stasis.

But one day I'll die
and my friends will die with me
because it's all in my head

and boy is that ******.

I don't think I've ever felt anything more disgusting than disappointment & shame.

What do you do when your pride is ripped away & stolen? You're forced to believe a lie for so long that it becomes your reality, but then you develop a mind of your own & you see just how fake this life has truly been. What once was now holds no value; I believe nothing that's said to me.

"Family first" is the biggest crock of **** I've ever heard. All anyone ever cares about is pleasing their own devilish desires.
Cranberries** stain your hands like the color of
Blood bright against the porcelain of your sink after brushing your
Teeth too hard. You’ve picked only the hideous cranberries because fruit shouldnt feel
Unrequited like the only love you’ve ever known. Jesus how you’d hated when they’d
Stretch in the morning followed by,” How do can I get your lipstick off my
Collar?” You’re trapped behind
Glass. You are his
Trophy but most definitely not his wife. He says you are lucky. As if you are
Charity and his wallet will give you some vast improvement in
Direction. You’ve wasted all your
Time. Your body used up. No man will want what another has had. Does he know how you
Shake in the dark when he goes
Home to her? You’ve picked out these cranberries to quench the
Hunger that starves you from love.
They all tell me
To be angry
To be ******
To be mad
At you.
My friends, family and
Even my the therapist
Have tossed out the word hate
In reference to you.  
And I'm trying hard to take their advice.
But I can't seem to summon any hate for you.
And I'm trying hard,
But I'm only end up hating myself.

Cranberries** drip juice like
Blood. I squeeze them between my
Teeth, like a guillotine.
Unrequited love in the form of
Stretch marks on my thighs. My dog
Collar is starting to choke me.
Glass litters the floor to the
Trophy room. He says I am a
Charity case. No one wants me. Point me in a new
Direction. I am running out of
Time. I am running out of patience. The ground
Shakes as I reach for the front door to my childhood
Home. I want to go home.
Hunger never felt so good.
