Posted: 1/29/2008 8:23:27 AM | A rainbows beauty shines brighter than gold
Waiting for the leprechaun of a story untold
Of my prince charming to whisk me away
On his white horse to save the day
A reflections reality in a puddle of rain
As the sun sets my dreams quickly fade
Chivalry is dead thanks to women’s rights
Call all the shots and start all the fights
But when will we find a common ground
World will know peace, safe and sound
Instead the conflict is beating us down
Blinded by ignorance we all are bound
On this earth living the American dream
Taking for granted everything it seems
I’m ready to live life as it should
Living and loving just how God would
My head is big but my heart is bigger
Moving toward happiness with all my vigor | |

| From pain comes beauty
Posted: 1/29/2008 8:30:36 AM | This is old but true, maybe a little too much truth. This "poem" helps me remember where I came from and who I no longer want to be. All I can do is learn from it and move on.
Started out naïve but to the games I took
Been called every name in the Mfin’ book
Misunderstood, guess that’s why they’re shook
First impressions can kill, try me, take another look
****, whore, slut…like sticks and stones
**** shut your mouth ‘fore I break all your bones
No wait, that’s what got me into this mess
I mean leave me alone, stop being a pest
Don’t know if I’ll pass this ugly test…cuz
Life’s a hard lesson you learn everyday
Bruises and stitches, so much pain, to my dismay
We hurt, we laugh, we pray, we cry
We bleed, and scream, and weep, and die
We take things for granted and watch time fly by
Never take good advice from the old and the wise
I’ll never believe it ‘til it comes from my own eyes
I’m just like my mother, stubborn it’s true
Inside my head it’s beaten and bruised
Needing affection from every guy
My dad never knew me, maybe that’s why
Medicated to hide who I am inside
But knowing that God is right by my side
Asking where are you going, and what to do
This life’s got one step ahead of you
These people these places so dull and numb
Look in the mirror, who have you become
I’m tired and bored and sick of this place
Running but fall right flat on my face
Slow motion, I can’t escape …me
Help me I’m everywhere I don’t want to be
Cant hide from the past but can’t drag it along
Let me take one more hit from this bong
It’s slowing me down, making me dumb
I feel like a one year old, sucking my thumb
Stuck on repeat, it’s the same old song
Wait, lets get one more hit from the bong
It’s a new year, two thousand and six
Sucked ass, and made me sick…
It’s two thousand and seven, time for a change
Broken and tired and cant take the shame
I’ve got to make something out of this name… | |

| Oh brother where art tho?
Posted: 1/29/2008 8:32:00 AM | Procrastination keeps me on this gray plane
Nothing ever changes, everything’s the same
But I’ve only got myself to blame
Make my own rules as I play this game
Invitations were sent but nobody came
But I’ve only got myself to blame
Standing alone in the dark and the rain
She was always there but I lost that dame
But I’ve only got myself to blame
These drugs fill my lungs, they’re so hard to tame
Getting high for the night is my only aim
But I’ve only got myself to blame
My head is so big, I’m so ****ing vain
And even my family thinks that I’m lame
But I’ve only got myself to blame
This mirrors reflection reveals my shame
As I never made anything out of my name
And I’ve only got myself to blame | |

| Burnt Bridges
Posted: 2/15/2008 8:12:46 AM | Life is full of lessons, some are quickly learned
Play the game His way and hope to not get burned
I was raised with morals and I know you were too
But somewhere in this book called friendship
You skipped a page or two
See I have this idea that friends to one another should be true
Lend a hand to hold when the all world seems blue
Tell each other the truth even when it hurts
Love each other completely even with the dirt
Tell each other secrets and know secrets they will remain
And if the world seemed different together we wouldn’t change
But best friends forever took a different meaning
When you turned your back and left me barely gleaming
I never saw it coming, I never thought it’d end
I thought there was no argument that we could not mend
You used my friendship for personal gain to which I did not see
Until I stepped outside the box and found it wasn’t me
Playing devil’s advocate, hoping no one discovers
All your deep dark secrets, all your secret lovers
Stubborn to the bone, it’s your way or none at all
Lie after lie, you thought I’d take the fall
Everything I ever did I had you in mind
All my trust I had in you, how could I be so blind?
Manipulative and persuasive, at that you are the best
And somehow you still think you’re better than the rest
But even through the pain you caused, no tears did I shed
Because I know now truly you’re crazy in the head
I guess our friendship wasn’t as important as someone in your bed
And through all this I thank you, for you have helped me see
Exactly what kind of friend… that I don’t want to be | |

| happy new year?
Posted: 2/15/2008 12:14:11 PM | Like a hamster in a wheel, I’m getting no where fast
Stuck in neutral and a lead foot on the gas
Every year the same old resolution
No motivation yields no solution... | |

| happy new year?
Posted: 2/15/2008 9:08:54 PM | Nice work
Wrote this for another thread but I think it fits better here
The Joke is On Us
Sell me love as sugar, then laugh because its sweet
dissect a soul within your sight , then find its incomplete
anatomy is never more than a name for every piece
while life paints the gilded glance , the energy release
listen to the ones who sell, the more for you to buy
shallow isn't sad at never feeling past a sigh
a heart within a window with a price upon its face
is the choice we choose to trade for all the loneliness we taste
like a flavor fleeing faster than the memory can replace
love's the liquor we are promised in the drink of hurried haste
While the sadness of the moment finds a tear you can't erase
the void of less than needed makes a fist inside your heart
til the days of hope's amnesia gives you just the strength to start
believing in another like a drug that cannot fail
will we ever get onboard before the ship sets sail?
can we slow the speed of caring to a pace that we can know
or just leap into the wind .. and let it blow. | |

| Composition
Posted: 2/15/2008 11:32:49 PM | I like your (free)style Jessie, so I thought I'd say Hi with one of my own. It's called Composition.
The verse is a wind blowing soft through my head
As it sings to me
brings to me
words I have said
The melody pirouettes across my mind
On a dancer's stage
from an age
I'd left behind
The rules I've created I am hard pressed to breach
The song pleases me
teases me
just out of reach
So I with my six-string, my oldest of friends
An all too fine
concubine
meeting my ends
The music and I and my guitar make three
Opposing
composing
'till finally I see
A break in my cloud cover; sharply I dive
And gliding in
sliding in
we all arrive
A glorious union, a landing that's true
I'm greeting that
meeting that's
out of the blue
With minor refinements, it's one of my best
I feel relief
heal belief
and let it rest
If you think that it's all just the work of my hand
You're gleaning true
meaning you
don't understand
The song is a power I have to obey
The tune is a
Moon and a
Sun to my day. | |

Posted: 2/20/2008 8:46:42 AM | True love baby
You say mabey
Take me, break me
Come go with me
Romance with me
Thrill us, you and I
Kiss you, kiss me
Smile, shine
Relax, take it in
Take my heart
Take my hand
Take my soul
Connections fade
Smiles frown
Roller Coasters crash! | |

Posted: 4/17/2008 8:50:12 AM | Ripping at the seams
By hypocritical means
Break me down
I’m not who I seem
Emotions run wild
Short of mild
Almost drowning
But no longer a child
Stair in the abyss
I’m better than this
Mary Jane’s
A poisonous kiss
This crutch I use
Is being abused
Splintered
I’m black and blue
Fogging my brain
Can’t quit this game
I forgive you
It’s just all a shame | |

Posted: 9/1/2008 8:30:28 AM | i sit by the window
where d wind blow
n the trees grow
watchin people, passin by
wit a bottle of rum in my hand
makes me evaluate
the state of d world today
where its gone outta control
the concrete wall is missin its rose
money make u sell yr soul
but its was all written
scientific or religious
tell me how angels can eat
in hell's kitchen
or how can birds swim
where fish are breedin
if only u can feel wot am thinkin | |

What will she do today,
She has no energy.
Last night she drank,
The bottle's dry,
She has the shakes,
She starts to cry.
Through her tears,
Her thoughts wind back.
To distant times
She feels sad.
She remembers her Mumma's words,
The wisdom of her Dad.
If only she had heeded,
The wise advice they gave.
About gambling and alcohol,
Living life straight and true.
Making loyal and loving friends,
Having an honest day's work to do.
She pulled herself out of the chair,
Looked into the smeary mirror.
The face that she was staring at,
Made her want to run and hide.
My God she said I'm all washed out
Like an ocean without the tide.
On the floor a newspaper lay,
Unread and two weeks old.
She opened it and on page four,
Was an ad very large and clear.
We can help you with life changes,
Without judgment or fear.
She instantly made a decision,
Stammered as she spoke on the phone.
Mentioned she and her life were a mess,
Desperate for help to find a lost track,
Please I need to save myself.
Yes said a reassuring voice,
We'll walk with you on your journey back.
She almost fell on the way to the shower,
Couldn't find any clean clothes to wear.
She put on yesterday's crumpled lot,
That smelled of whisky, cola and rum.
Then sat in the midst of empty booze bottles,
Waiting for the saviour counsellor to come. | |
