Marry her off

To a good handsome man.

Make sure that he’s older

So he can protect her.

Don’t check his background

Only his hands.

Look for the stain

That he hides so well,

Trying hard

Not to ruin his name,

Trying hard

To bury that shame.

Is she worth two goats

Or just a pig?

Modern women

Aren’t worth two shits.

Carry her down your golden isle.

Kick’n and scream’n

Makes her more worth while.

She’...

Who am I?

Well, I don’t know

Quite how to answer that question

When I haven’t even become

Who I am supposed to be yet.

Who am I?

I am the person in the back

You know nothing about.

That kid who likes to keep to themself

Because no body wanted

To get to know this me

For the longest time

So I learned how to be shy.

Who am I?

I am the person you don’t know

Has super powers.

I can see the finest of...

Mommy said sissy went away

On vacation today

To a happy place

Because it was too sad for her to stay here

With all her sadness and tears

Sissy said to me one time

The mean people each put one there

The boy who took her to the dance

But sent her home crying

Into her hands

Put one on her thigh

The girls who called her names

she wouldn’t tell me

When she came home early from school that day

Put on...

It’s a prickly path

For my broken heart

Thats been damaged since the very start

But no one ever told me that I’d find you, you.

Love came crashing

Down on me

Like the seasons change

You’re my summer breeze

It’s true.

Love came for me and you.

And I hold your hand

In my dreams

Where the stars align for you and me

And no screaming faces are telling us

It’s so wrong For me to write you a love song....

I said good bye when I was eight.

And I didn’t know that that would mean

I’d be crying all alone

In my room at seventeen.

I’m still cursing at the ceiling

Hoping god stops screwing up,

And I don’t know where I’m going,

But I know I’m getting drunk.

I’ve been holding in my shit

For the past fifteen years.

I’ve been sitting on my own

Not wanting to let go of all these tears.

And I still hold my b...

my hands brown like the earth.

cracked ‘n dry like the month of august.

my hands small but efficient.

they been poked ‘n pricked pickn’ cotton.

my hands set ta work from dawn ta dusk.

they tire by noon, longn’ ta let ease they soreness.

my hands never rest though.

never do they splash cool water from the barrel.

my hands break the way papa breaks ground.

cracked n’ calloused, blister n’ bruise...

Moving slowly up,

Growing

Footsteps, blooming of

Sounds of chiming birds,

Ready themselves.

feet wandering

Deeply beyond forests and streams.

Trickling, glittering,

Flowing like honey.

Sweet serenades

Hum softly.

That pitter-patter,

small feet,

Dancing for foliage

Colored autumn red.

Red autumn colored

Foliage for dancing

Feet, small,

Pitter-patter that

Softly hum

Serenades. Sweet

Honey like. ...

Hate kills love.

Selfishness kills unity.

Jealousy kills generosity.

Darkness over powers light.

Distrust kills faith.

Aggression kills kindness.

Envy over powers worth.

Anger kills joy.

Doubt kills confidence.

Resentment over powers empathy.

Empathy over powers resentment.

Confidence kills doubt.

Joy kills anger.

Worth over powers envy.

Kindness kills aggression.

Faith kills distrust.

Light...

All my life

I’ve been looking for an answer

In a world

That only lies and fakes the day.

In this dark, snowy summer

I really need an answer.

She lies and lies and lies.

You lie and lie and lie.

They lie and lie and lie

To my face

In the dark.

You close your eyes.

And I scream and scream to open them.

You say I lie

Inside this snowy time.

The summer wind

Is blowing ice and hail.

These darkened ...

I want.

To die.

I can.

Not cry.

I need.

To hide.

I want.

To die.

My wounds.

Are open.

Bleeding.

Fast.

My heart.

Is racing.

Pounding.

Past.

The world

It spins

Inside

My head.

I am.

So dizzy.

I want.

To be dead.

Over.

stepping.

Boundaries.

Past.

Alarms.

Go off.

And sirens.

Blast.

I am ghostly

Pale.

A hallow.

Shell.

Of what

I was

Before

The dusk.

Darkened.

Numb.

A soulless.

Feat.

I r...
