Why must you try to change me?
You have no right
You act as if you are my God
Yet I created me
My body was but shell
That I made full of life
But you try to drain it

Stop trying to change me
Let me be

I remember when my head was an empty box
Light as a feather, useless
Now it is a book
Full of memories, full of knowledge

I remember when my mouth was a constant frown
Not even strings could hold it up
Now it is a smile of sunshine
Spreading happiness to others

I remember when my body felt lifeless
Melted and would slouch
Now it is strong
Upright and healthy

My past was broken
I wasn’t even there
Now I am back
One with the world

I remember

Starless black night
Hidden ices
Cold winds knocking at the window
Each white angle hair
Dropping from the sky
Covering the Earth
Frightening the green
Turning it a pale white
Standing, starting at the sky
Lit by on bulb
A God in the sky
A startling sound in the distance
Like bones breaking
Body Freezes
From fright or cold?
The night is alive

The love between two people
Turn to lust
The pleasure of becoming one
The nervous feeling of a mistake
The test taken
To tell the truth
Given a seed of life
Happiness fills the mind
The ninth month comes
Pain shoots through
The creation is coming
Life will change
Silence hits the room
Life has faded
The seed breathes not
The heart snaps
A part of you has died

I ask you
What is peace?

Peace is someone finding they have cancer
Peace is a homeless person on the street
Peace is a teenager killed by a drunk driver

I ask you
What is peace?

Peace is a child killed by a gun
Peace is a woman beaten by her so called love
Peace is a cope beating down an innocent man

I ask you
What is peace?

Peace is people at war with people
Peace is an animal shot down for fun
Peace is airplanes flying into buildings

I ask you
What is peace?

Peace is dying of AIDS
Peace is racism
Peace is a mother pulling the plug on her child

I ask you
What is peace?

Peace is destroying peoples land
Peace is loosing your ability to move
Peace is taking your own life

I ask you
Is there peace?

A perfect site
Standing tall and strong
Sharing the green of life
Each needle a ***** of pleasure
A star of heaven at the top
Covering the body of golden angel hair
Dancing sugar canes swing from each arm
Rainbow tights of night glow bright
A perfect site
For the holiday season

I love my son
The other day we went to the game
~Beep Beep~

You Know
He wants to be a doctor when he grows up
~Beep Beep~

He gets all A’s in school
Smartest in this class
~Beep Beep~

You should see the kid eat
He has quit the appetite
~Beep Beep~

He seems to be getting curious about girls
I am going to have to have “the talk” with him
~Beep Beep~

I love to hear him say “I love you”
He is a caring son
~Beep Beep~

Did I tell you he was all-star on this team
They got 1st place at state
~Beep Beep~

Can’t wait till he drives
I have taught him a lot
~Beep Beep~

One day he will be married
He will have kids of his own
~Beep Beep~

My son will live a great life
He will be someone
~Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep~

These thoughts run through my head
But the cancer was stronger
Even though he is gone
He lives on in my mind
