The One Who Lived
You lived a life so perfect,
An example for us all.
Knowing you was worth it,
You gave everything your all.
You left behind a little girl,
You taught her to be strong.
Even though you were her world,
She knew you couldn’t go on.
You lived a life so perfect,
An example for us all.
Knowing you was worth it,
You gave everything your all.
Even though you’re gone now,
They know you loved them so.
They still don’t understand how
God could just take you and go.
You lived a life so perfect,
An example for us all.
Knowing you was worth it,
You gave everything your all.
In the dead silence of the night your mind starts to wander. You no longer feel alive, you feel numb and empty. Insomnia is a special kind of torture, one that can drive a man to his breaking point. You are up days on end begging for sleep. You try to sleep and you lay there. And you are all alone. No one there to help you and No one there to tell you that the demons you are facing are all in your head. You are left to fight them by yourself. People will tell you that they are there for you, but you know its all lies. Because no matter what at 4 am when you are still awake begging for sleep, I guarantee you that everyone who has said that you
I come home to tell you
What happened today
Only to remember
You are miles away
You started a new chapter
A new thing in your life
I know you can't wait to come home
To see me and your future wife
Sometimes I break down
And I miss you more than ever
But I am proud of you for changing
Changing for the better
I cannot wait to see you
And hear your voice again
And listen to you sing to me
Like before the change began
I really really miss you
I wish that you could see
But I know you're gone for now
That is just how it has to be

I Cant Just Be Happy
I cant just Be happy
Right on the spot
That's not how that works
No matter what
I'm sorry I don't laugh
At everything you say
I'm sorry I'm sad
Every single day
I don't mean to do this
I cant help it you see
But picture in your mind
what its like to be me
I'm fragile and broken
It is not in my head
Please don't be mad
When I cant get out of bed
I've tried to smile
But it turned into tears
I've been hiding my misery
For several years

My Little Angel
I love you so much
You don't even know
I can't wait to hold you
And watch you grow.
You are my little angel
And I can't wait to see
What a wonderful person
You will turn out to be.
You are a huge blessing,
I'm so happy, you see
You were a surprise
But a good one to me.
I will spoil you rotten
With kisses and hugs
No matter if you're a princess
or if you like bugs.

In Loving Memory
She was the angel
Sent down to me as a gift
Her hands was always there
To help me swim the drift
I soon started believing
She was what I thought
An immortal being to whom
I, so much pain, had brought
I forgot she was human
So I forgot she lacked
That immortal soul, which God
So dearly wanted back
She was the dearest friend to me
Its sad she had to go
I hope that she always knew
How much I loved her so
Every time she comes to mind
I remember the times we had
She was always here
Through thick and thin
and for that I am truly glad
They dress me up in scarlet red,
and pretend to shed a tear.
They lay me in my satin bed,
but they knew this day was near.
They knew this day was coming,
But yet they didn’t care.
Now they act so loving,
and say it isn’t fair.
They shower me with roses,
shades of black and red,
but really no one opposes,
me lying in my satin bed.
Now they come to visit,
although it’s very rare,
They act like they loved me,
even though they didn’t care.

Why Can You Not Let Me Be?
Because I have less rights than men,
Because I am a perfect ten,
Does not mean you can touch me.
It means you should just let me be.
When I wear a short cute skirt,
and a tight low cut shirt,
Does not mean I want you to,
Make me do dirty things for you.
I am my own person, you see,
Why can you not let me be?
I don’t want your hands on me,
What will it take for you to see?

We Are Meant To Feel The Pain.
This world is full of misery,
There’s pain in all our hearts,
We all wish for a new life,
So we can have a fresh new start.
But that just cannot happen,
We are meant to feel the pain.
We cannot have the sunshine,
Without just a little bit of rain.
We have to fight the battle,
Although we know that we wont win,
After all of the fighting,
Everyone dies in the end.
So we continue living,
And struggle as we go,
And wish that we could end it,
But that just isn’t so.

This Is Just Another Love Poem.
I accept all your skeletons,
You accept my faults and flaws.
Without you I am nothing,
I am just one with a lost cause.
This is just another love poem,
A rhythm so soft and sweet,
Like the feeling that I got,
The day destiny had us meet
I love your every detail,
The sound when you speak,
When you call me baby,
You make me grow so weak.
This is just another love poem,
A rhythm so soft and sweet,
Like the feeling that I got,
The day destiny had us meet
You sing to me a melody,
That soothes my aching spirit.
It makes me feel happy,
Every time I hear it.

The Unnamed Gospel
Blessed are the peacemakers, children of strife:
Blessed for their unending work in life
And the thanklessness when the sound of fife
And drum call all to war so rife.
But I won’t stop: peacemakers till death
Will me and mine be. Until the call
Of the trumpet ring, thus will I spend each breath.
Come the avarice of conviction, when
The voices claiming truth call, then
Will you know the inspiration, penned
As it was, flawless by flawed men.
But I will not allow self-centered certainty
To be the badge on my chest, huddling
As it were in truth like a mishmashed shanty.
For truly do I walk in the valley of the shadow
Of belief – a
We were seventeen when we met.
The first thing you said to me
was "Open your eyes
and see."
You were a collection of
skinned knees and your
father's broken promises,
holding onto your fears
like miniature phantoms
clinging to the bit of skin beneath your eyes,
the indentations of muscle in your chest.
You taught me how to make
things beautiful.
You taught me that every little
pinprick,
every pop of pain,
every
tiny
little
slit,
cut,
rip
was God's design,
and if he was a painter,
you said I'd be the Mona Lisa.
You said I was a work of art.
You made big towering claims
like your hopes for San Francisco,
you piled me up like cities and sky
I lie huddled in the corner of my dungeon cell. It is dark, it is cold; the air is moist and stinks. Pale light pours though a small barred window. I am alone. The straw on the floor stabs into my naked feet. The dirty sackcloth robe scratches at my bloody, abused and bruised skin. Everything hurts and throbs with numb pain. I know I will die soon.
I have confessed under the torture. I knew that it would seal my fate, but I could not stand the pain any more. I shiver and tremble as the memories of the unspeakable things they had done to me come back: Their cold hands and fingers touching my body everywhere in search for the mark. As they did
