Hey, little lady, let's go for a ride.
There truly is a way to fly...
All around nothing but sky...
Don't worry baby, let's not be shy....
You'll do fine.
You will love it in time...
Of course it took none...
ONCE...
I was done.
Got a hold of it when I was young.
Not understood by some....
Hair carried by the wind...
Sometimes the sun burning you like sin.
Vibrating my soul....
But a full on win...
All the way to the end my dear friend.

She don't come from riches,
but from love.
Better than anything from below or above.
Love is where, is here.
Difficult but without FEAR.
The random, the cure.
You know for sure,
Never a blur.
Together a community that has always stuck, looking out for one another, when down on your luck.
She knows how to be free and filled her cup.
Liquid and smoke....
The meeting of many blokes and folks, the telling of jokes.
She copes because of hope.
The rumbles through the streets, sometime woke you from your sleep.
She got your *** beat..gave you sore *** feet.
Danced and played for keeps.
Got her freak on beneath the sheets.
Waved good-bye and cryed.
Not by choice, but because of the loud voices of to much noise and big boy toys.
From an illiterate father, who made his living, was now being a bother.
Now she's grown six feet tall.
But hit a wall, turned around and there she is to show us all.
No where else has there ever been, not even close say most..
Missing her every once in a while.
It starts to itch.
I get this twitch.
Make a wish, blow her a kiss, oh my god baby you deserve so much more.
Never keeping score.
When I am right here, I am clean.
Feeling like a Queen
All once upon a dream.
Never leaves your side, no matter where you ride or try to hide.
You keep her with you all inside.
SHHHHHH........
Listen.....Did you hear?
*******...I grew up on rice street!
(Ladies and gentle men....I grew up on rice street)

When she was a young girl of eight.
She learned things that are of great debate.
She wished she could have escaped. But was taught much too late.
Was this her fate?
Her young life taking shape.
Already so much upon her plate.
Leaving  you to contemplate.
She licked you here.. she touched you where?
Shhh ...Don't say a word.
No worries she will never tell.
On and on.
Here and there.
It was something she loved well.
Nothing bad she thought.
But being afraid of getting caught.
Then it stopped.
Her young mind confused.
She just popped
At such a young age already just used.
Not seeing that it as abuse.
Blaming herself with no one to help her choose.
Who is to blame?
Should there be shame?
what did she lose...
Childhood ****** abuse

Life moves sometimes fast
                               Too fast.
                                     So fast.
Woke up one day to see dreams in front of me.
                                Ripped apart.
Still only a plan.
Times always fade. Love will always
                       NEVER
Be swayed.
O was I glad he stayed.  Thought I was so brave.
You stood so tall.
                        NEVER
Would I let you fall.  But it was all just a big stall.
I should have
                        NEVER
Answered the call.

Some may live their lives at the roll of the dice.
Me? I think twice.
Made a left turn.
When it should have been a right.
Maybe straight back?
My light shines bright for the only one that is true.
It's right above you and all around.
Key to life is a whole lot of love..
Been beat down, fallen to the ground.
As arrows flew past to do just that.
Age is truly a gift as the knowledge grows and the harmony flows.
At the end of my rope with my life. Feeling crazy and lost.
The  beginning of an exit to a violent domestic relationship.

Does not matter if you think you are the best.
We all have the same test.
In the end we are all like the rest
No matter your quest.
None of us better or less.
Sitting at a desk.
We are all just guests!
In all of this great big mess..
Hopefully having enough for our empty nest.
Some people think " Oh my, such a pest!"
When someone doesn't follow along and continue to the west.
Me I just hope somewhere along the line ..while on your journey.  
You fill your life with zest as you continue your quest!
The hurry up and get there syndrome
