As A Ship Sails The Cool Blue Of The Waves,
You Held Me Close And Rocked Me To Sleep,
And As Blue Grass Caresses My Bare Skin,
You Smooth My Hair And Kiss Me Goodnight

As The Birds Whistle In The Earliest Of Sunrises,
You Awake Me To The Presence Of An Angel,
You, Mother, Are An Angel

As You Gave Me The Fire Which Lives In My Veins,
Mother Earth Put A Rhythm Into My Heart,
And As You Gave Me The Sight Of Day,
Mother Earth Gave Me The Crisp Yellow Of The Sun

And As Your Mother Gave You Life On This Day,
An Angel Was Brought To Save This World,
And Just As The May Flower Led The People,
You Are Leading Me

*With Petals Soft As Chiffon,
And A Heart Of Yellow Gold,
You Out Shine Every Color,
For You Are The Most Beautiful,
Of Every Single Flower

A Canvas Of Blue,
Turns The Saddest Shade Of Grey,
When It's Heartbroken

Butterflies Flutter Round In My Tummy,
Tickling My Skipping Heart

You Again?
How Can You Bare To Come Through My Door?
The Key Isn't Underneath The Mat Meaning,
*You Aren't Welcome Here Anymore

Am I Defined By A Grade Circled In Red,
Or Am I Defined By The Teacher Which Gave It?

Am I Defined By The Rumors Which Cling To My Name,
Or Am I Defined By My Peers Who Spread Them?

Am I Defined By The Words Of Corrupted Beings,
Or The Feelings In Which They Half-Heartedly Dwell?

I Want To Define Myself--Someday Soon,
I Don't Want To Be The Girl Who,

Said This,
Wore This,
Did This

I Don't Want To Be The Girl Who,

Liked Him,
Then Loved  Him,
Then She Was The One Who Lost

I Don't Want To Be The Girl,

So Many People Say I Am,

I Want To Be

*Sydney

I Sat And Observed,
A Small Spider Spinning Silk,
Beneath The Spring Sun,
That Sun Got Even Brighter,
When The Angels Had Arrived

The Stream Bubbled Soft,
Skimming The Sides Of Worn Stones,
The Currents Whisper,
The Secrets Which Forests Keep,
If Only We Would Listen

Peace Dropped From The Grey Veils Of Dawn,
As The Pain In Your Body Slowly Faded,
Your Soft White Hair Lay Flush On Your Pillow,
As You Dreamt Of Spring And Luscious Summer,
Your Almost Deafened Ears Heard The Robin's Song,
While Flocks Of Snow Geese Flew Above You,
As You Grew White Wings Of Your Own

Maybe,
He Actually Loves,
Me

Or* Maybe,
He **Doesn't

Wet And Heavy Snowflakes Fall Gently Into Place,
Turning The Dead Summer's Grasses White Again,
Robins Shiver Violently In The Frosted Branches,
Their Orange Bellies Shaking Off The Flurries,
Songbirds Stay Silent--Hushed By The Breeze

The Wind Pulled My Hair,
As It Angrily Bellowed,
Screaming From The North,
It Slipped Between My Fingers,
As I Reached For The Grey Sky

The Grey Morning Light,
Seeps Right Into My Drawn Shades,
But I Have No Time,
To Listen To The Songbirds,
Nor Can I Watch The Surise

My Eyes Slowly Closed,
As The Stars Gently Kissed Me,
And Smoothed Back My Hair,
While Telling One Last Story,
Before I Fell Sound To Sleep

My
Biggest
Addiction
Is
The
Sweet
Sound
Of
Your
Applause*

Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap

Tell Me, How Much Pain Can One Tear Contain?
What Is It Like To Stare In Hungry Eyes?
What Is It Like To Only Own A Name?
What Is It Like To Feel Cruel Genocide?

Children Watch As Their Mothers Slowly Fade,
Mothers Watch As Their Daughters Slowly Starve,
A Father Watches His Son Go To Trade,
As Tears Travel Down The Gully They've Carved

Haunted Eyes Softly Whisper To The Sky,
Disease Scuttles Through Brittle Broken Bones,
Hours Fill Their Schedule On Which They Cry,
As They Shuffle With Bare Feet On Small Stones

What Is It Like To Own Unearthly Eyes?
Why Does Our World Still Harbor Genocide?

A Thick Chord Echoed,
Weaving With Sly Precision,
Through The Sleeping Trees,
At The Sound Of Such Beauty,
I Decided I Must Sing

The Dull Dawning Sky Woke The Birds,
As It Metamorphosed In Grace,
The New Day Deserved No New Words,
For She Would've Taken Them With Her,
As Well As Every Waining Breath,
She Brought With Her Spirits For Life,
She **** With Her Spirits Of Death,
To Bring Them Back To The Heavens

Sometimes

It

Really

Offends

Me

That

I

Am

A

Human

Being

My Old Soul Is Trapped In A Body Too Young

Momma And Daddy*

I Want To Say I'm Sorry For Everytime I've Yelled,
I Want To Say I'm Sorry Because My Spirit Was Shelled,
I Was Hiding From You When I Needed You Most,
But That Person Inside Me, Was A Parasite, A Host,
I Want To Say I'm Here Now.. I Am Really Me,
But Honestly I'll Go To My Grave Feeling Guilty,
Please Momma, Please I Know You Hate That I'm Still Sad,
I Want To Say I'm Sorry Because He Literally Drove Me Mad,
I Want To Say I Am Sorry Because I Am Seeing Only Grey,
When Color Is Just Over The Looming Horizon Yet I Stay,
But I Promise You... I Am Almost There,
And Momma,
Daddy,
I Want To Tell You I'm Still Young Inside,
That I Have Swallowed My Cinder Block Of Pride,
I Have Shed My Lipstick And Eyeliner,
And Now My Thick Shadow Of Hate Has Grown Finer

I Guess What I Am Really Saying,
Is Thank You For Believing In Me

Her Heart Dainty As A New Born Kitten,
It Is Impossible To Not Become Smitten,
By A Young Mind So Pure And Bright,
Someday She Will Be The World's Light,
Her Heart Is Beautiful As A Flowery Bouquet,
And I Would Even Play A Game I Dread With Her:
Croquet...
Because That Is How Much I Admire Her

The Weeping Willows Smile When They See Her,
The Birds Greet Her As If She Is Snow White,
She Is Such A Beautiful Young Girl,
With A Heart Filled With Holy Light

In The Freshly Powdered Snow Lay,
Coyote Pawprints,
Set In A Perfect Line,
Leading Right To My Very Own,
Bedroom Window

Someday I Wish Everyone,
Could Just Forget This Whole Mess

"I Don't Wanna Talk About It," I Said
"Why Not," They Snickered
Tears Climed Up Into My Eyes--My Mind Reeling,
"****," They Snapped In My Direction,"***** ****."
My Eyes Leveled Onto The Concrete,
My Baggy Clothes Trying To Shield My Body,
From Wondering Gazes,
From Hurtful Words Squirming Into My Heart,
And There He Appeared,
Right In Front Of Me,
His Eyes Cold And Black,
"****," He Murmured,"You *****, No Good, ****"

Never Give Up On Your Dreams
Unless They're Truly Stupid

I Wonder If You Still Miss Me,
If Pure Thoughts Of Me Still Linger,
I Wonder If You Still Miss Me,
If Our Song Is Still Your Ringer,
I Wonder If You're Brave Enough,
To Blubber At The Thought Of Us,
I Wonder If You're Brave Enough,
To Realize You Threw Away Trust
