I walked through this world with my arms open wide Challenging Trusting the signs They had a lesson Sharp and uncouth Forget about Wisdom Forget about the truth I was bit by a dog A dog with a rabid tooth I blame the whole **** thing on my youth My arms open wide I’ll tell you the truth Lessons are learned through shadow and will They’re not always gentle They’re not always still But in this moment, not in the right frame of mind It wasn’t about the dog or the bite But the fever that came The broken skin the head hanging shame The excruciating pain I found solace in the moment Still Feeling naïve Even the truest of true can be deceived In that moment, as I watch myself bleed The lesson became as clear as clear could be Wisdom and truth are earned Through blood sweat and pain By showing up paying attention and playing the game Always remember A rabid dog can be tamed

Bit by a dog with a rabid tooth
You were my dusk                        to my horizon. As somewhere we were either       rising above                or s i n k i n g                              below. Hues at dusk kissed the luminosity      clinging to the last vestiges                   that were kisses sent as a parting gift of crimson lipstick                    shades  upon the atmosphere. Horizons would be a breath of fresh air,                      or downpours of emotion. I could either be a fresh breeze of inspiration                                 on a new day. Or missing you, a deluge of seasonal                                         falling.. But you always managed to lift me up      no matter the day... You made me look at what life was,        and to always shine upon the moments that help me rise higher everyday, for the                eternity of us...

Dusk To My Horizon
I drank way to much vocabulary before my eager eyes needed to dilute the intake of my surroundings. Into slumbered inspired visions, that would play on my thoughts repetitively, like a cracked analogue song skipping. But still I awake in darkness, needing to release the effluence of what was indulged upon earlier. That visage a delusion of  slide show moments. I felt the bed its wet,                         I didn't make it in time. Blind verses wet on the sheets, my hand was in it, I gag... And then see that its a mirage of what was drunk upon. It had to come out at some time. But 3am couldn't I control my expulsion.                         Instead I sit here in sodden verse. As I wash my sheets, not the first time or the last. I take heed.. not to drink so much before I go to bed, because white sheets are now grey. So many words kept on other layers, these ones just inevitably washed away.

Drinking To Much Before Bed
Look outside the window Everything we've said and done Is withering in the sun I wish I had you Nobody but you Your like forbidden fruit From Adam and Eves tree Tuning me into something more But only you could see I may be a tomboy A gamer A believer A learner And more to be shaped I stay true to my word Just like love or fate

What I Am With You
Even though it’s not true, it helps to believe some where, someone is going to look at my life, and get inspired. Don’t nobody look at the **** i write. Not here, not in notebooks, not on poetry pages. Nobody looking, nobody judgeing, so why not?

Let us not dwell in the thought of fear But find to what fear really is "Fear nothing but fear itself" Were not my words but his They say fear controls us Makes us do not think So how can we stop ourselves So we can swim not sink They say its the world around us She makes us fear these things But its not her demons But the ones at our very brink You don't fear the world Or the things that she has full stride The only thing that you are scared of Are the things you've locked inside...

Fear
Words run rampant through my mind. Doing much more than just killing time. I should be so tired it doesn't make sense. the words are speaking to my demons right now. Stripping the walls of my soul. Putting me on display. Its almost freeing I have to say. To finally talk to my demons today. To speak not in words but through music and muse. To solve puzzles of heartache. In my mind I smell rain. Washing away all I'm about. The depression the anger, calming my fire. I wish I could scream how I felt but only in a language lost on all but me.

What is love? Where do you find it? How do you define it? Is it spiritual? Is it mystical? Or something physical Maybe it's fictional What is love? Is it a feeling? Or a state of mind? Something appealing Or something blind It all depends on the naked eye Many are hurt And call it a lie “I Love You” People use those words to much And pretty soon their meaning will die What is love? Kids fall in love, But honestly they don’t And when it comes time to confront The reality of things they don’t accept Their lives will become a battlefront And when they’re rid of the butterflies Left in rags And the lady cries The boy will hold up the white flag Lonely, cold and done Soon their love will all be gone What is love? In reality love is non-existent Idiotic, pointless and a killer Just to end up a horror story and a thriller…

Rotating Door Of My Mind
lightning blazes its trails in the sky I wonder where its going. so soon so fast. I wonder when you'll get there. knocking down trees in your path. I guess you're a lot like us People blazing a trail on this earth. I wonder where we'll go so soon so fast I wonder when we'll get there. Knocking down challenges in our path I guess you're not much like us
