I can't see another body in a coffin
Waste down and away to nothing
I can't let that rest on my conscience
The way my best friend's did.

She was definitely a blessed soul
But as time ticks to it's toll
She decided to let everything go
But she is not forever gone.

I can't let guilt from someone's daughter,
Someone's son, someone's brother
Someone's sister, someone's father
and someone's mother, rest on my soul.

So I beg of all you poets to extend a hand
To those whose life aren't so grand
Or who believe they are against god's plan,
Extend them a hand and help them.

Even if you're not trained, a simple "hello,
You are wonderful"
or "your poems are
beautiful"
, doesn't hurt anyone.
So please just be as nice as you can.

FOR ***** SAKES...

I am
Sometimes just because

With no pause
Sometimes caused by my flaws

From what was
Sometimes from me breaking the human laws

From what I have done
Sometimes  because I had to run

  From what I have caused
Sometimes from what cannot  be undone

Of how I treated someone
Sometimes from how I treated everyone

From how I treated my loved ones
Sometimes from how I let everyone down

From me acting like a clown
Sometimes from me being a letdown

Of  how I just shutdown
Sometimes from not staying around  

Because of the people I have blamed
Sometimes from the people that I have shamed

Ashamed
No more
From what I have  done
Because no more will it be done

God
Change me
Make me
What I
Am not...
Make me strong!

Don't let
Only words
No, no
Only words
Let Me BE Strong!

Right now  I'm sinking
Loosing power  by  the day
I've got to do
Better
Than I am doing
I've got to do better.

Give, give me strength
To carry on
To carry on!

Don't let
Only words
Lonely
Words.

Let me
Be
Strong!
This was written in my early thirties.

I said no in the kitchen
Standing
When you tried to put
Your lips on mine

I lie on the bed
As my ability to move
Or even speak leaves me
Then here you come
And you sit right
On top of me

Hands in places
They don't belong
You lift my limp arm
And place it around you
As if it's a romantic gesture
Or even my choice
Then you kiss my lips
Despite my no
With my eyes closed

My pants are in your way
You remove them
I lie there
Body limp
Eyes still closed

I'm able to move
An inch out of the way
When you try to do
The unthinkable thing
Not once
But three times

So you settle for
What you could get
Which was everything else
As my body was limp

Eyes open just enough
To stare my anger
Into your soul
I know you felt it
As you sat between my feet
When you were finished with me
Relieve yourself then use my sink
And then I sleep
And then you leave

"Let me walk you home
Let me keep you safe
Its dangerous out there
I wouldn't want you to get *****"
