River blue
A reflection of the sky
Makes me dreamy as I watch you flow by
I daydream of yesteryear
Wondering about my future near
As thoughts of happy places appear
And forgetting times of my wounded spirit
Dashing stones across you
Stepping in just above the knee
Loving the coolness
Feeling so refreshed
While the sun dances across a clear sky
Clean and fresh is the air
Bringing forth
Memories of the past
As new memories are formed
River Blue
I'll miss you
For the city is calling my name
But I shall return again
When I can no longer
Stay away from your beauty
river blue
A home away from home

I couldn't break free
From my misery
He said he loved me
I believed him
To my grief
I was just another woman
Another he would use for his pleasure
A game he played
An instrument he strums
This night I had enough
I packed my things and left
No goodbyes
No looking back
Far away did I go
To a place I did not know
Not a soul I knew
I dug a hole as deep as I could
And I buried every memory, all objects
Covered them with earth
I forgot on purpose
Never to remember again
I dug a grave
Throwing all in
Making room for new memories
And new found friends

Wished upon a star that fell from the heavens in rebellion
We think we know how this world runs
Not knowing we have been caught up in an illusion
Sipping death out of a can
Oh how tasty though
Eating food not fit for man
Eyes wide open
Yet asleep
Believing what the media says
Even when they can't speak the truth
The end is not yet
It is close
Especially close
Seeing all the men
Wanting to be women
How gross
A man is still a man
Even if he cut parts off and adds some
He can never be a woman
The nerve of him
The ends coming
I know it is
I hope you know it for yourself
Cause times not standing still
Moving quickly
So prophecy will be revealed

Brothers and a cousin
They are to each other
And to me
The two T's, O and a V
The system trapped them
Two got loose O and V
The brothers, two T's
Have yet to get free
My heart sinks
When I think of the tragedy
If I could have
I would have
Stepped in to defend
But I was powerless
Father I cry out to you
Please I ask of you
Do what I cannot do
Deliver the two T's
Keep the O and the V
And remember the V
That you preserved
To led the two T's
The O and the V
Back to you

The color of my madness
Red like the dawn
I strive for perfection
Whatever the cost maybe
Criticism is my reward
Telling all who will hear
Better yourselves
And work hard at it
Forget about what everybody else is doing
Look within your soul
Pill out of you
That which is more comfortable being hidden
that's the real you
stand on it
run with it
Even if its not popular
That's when you'll make it
A true test of endurance
Will you pass
Or will you fail
That is the question

What do you do
When the one you need
Is the one you hate
How do you forget
The wrongs done to you
When they make an appearance often
How do you love
What's hurting you
Daily struggles
I wish I didn't have to concern myself with
I'm trying
Treat people like you want them to treat you
They  say
I make a  decision everyday to pay attention
To listen and not self impose
Could I get that same please
I make sure that others needs or taken care of
I watch
I pray
Before you can inform me
I ask you
I'm trying
What's hard is keeping this up
Because I'm tempted to give up
Perhaps that's just talk
It is
I can't
Even if  I wanted to
It is embedded in my being
Forever etched on my heart
I must persevere
Looking for that prize at the end

Have you ever been awaken
From the best sleep ever
When your eyes could hardly open
And you could barely speak
Have you ever had a partner
Whom with everthing clicked
But you quit
Have you ever been eating a hamburger while driving and you saw something
And out the window
it went
Have you ever been down the dead end street of life
Had to bag out turn around and rethink
Have you ever lost something you loved
Forgot about it
And it turned up years later
Have you ever thought about how many possibilities
Have you ever could produce
Me
No never
