Little voices
Often said
Useless are
Better dead
Take it now
Feel no pain
See the past
Never again
Run free now
Into the night
Leave for good
No more fright
Little sorrow
Nothing left
Free my mind
That's what
They said
Listen softly
Quiet now
Know no more
Tell me how
Live in peace
Without regret
Days to come
Better yet
Past is past
Whisper free
What's left is now
A better me.

I refuse to let go
Of the withering vines
That keep me a float
Their branches seem to be
All that is keeping me
From drowning
In a world where we have lost hope
Corporate monsters robbing us blind
Jokesters running our lives
Hoping we follow the rest of the flock
Quietly moving to our demise
We struggle to win
Lay down and die a little every day
Taking away our self respect
Our families and our ways
The world is broken
Our souls and spirits are
Eaten with a cancer we cannot see
Why can’t we leave each other alone
And let us live in peace?
Everyone has a right to fight
For the things that they believe
So why can’t we let it go
Instead of leaving the world to grieve
For the brothers and the sisters lost
Because of fighting those
We do not agree
Let us learn to live in peace
To you I beg this plea.

Once again
I’ve jumped the fence
To quickly to let it be
My heart is so lonely
And empty inside
That is all I could see
From the very start
We talked as if
We’d always been friends
But too fast the pace
Too quickly revealed
That this was going to end
I never meant to hurt you
I don’t want to make you cry
But I’m afraid that this is it
And I have to say goodbye
The purpose we
Were brought this way
Was not for love as I’d thought
But to help you see
What is within
Something that can’t be bought
you have the strength
to see it through
and do what needs to be done
make a change
to pursue your dreams
and make them all your own
I cannot travel this way with you
Distance between is too far
But I will watch as you become
A beautiful rising star

A word, a smile
A fleeting  glimpse
A hug, a laugh
A heart that limps
My shattered soul
Is left again
To find my heart
My strength within
Not giving up
Not backing down
Walking thru life
Without a frown
Head held high
Trudging on
Looking ahead
To find my dawn
A shining light
Within your smile
Has made my life
More worthwhile
You reached inside
And found my heart
Promising me
A brand new start
You took the pieces
Of my broken soul
Loved me gently
Until I was whole
Laughter and love
Will now lighten our days
The love that we have
Will last…..always.

Who are we to say
that a love is not to be?
That a love does not belong
and can never be set free?

Who are we to think
that a kind is not our people?
That a kind is far beneath us
and will never be as equal?

Who are we to feel
that a face can look unusual?
That a face must be a canvas
and be painted to be beautiful?

Who are we to judge?
To say love is prohibited?
To think below of others?  
To feel minds can be limited?
