Taking Control
Mother dearest Father too
You do anger me very much you do
I have tried too
Console with you indeed
But these scars persist
From the marks of your fist
So I must resist
Change me from within
Learn to forgive those
Who hurt me
Forgiving me to begin
I'll never be that angry girl destined
To repeat that story again and again
And just because their like that
Gives no excuse I can
Because I am me
With the power
to control any way I am

Signs Of The Road
The signs of a road
Guide the wheels on where
To go,
But often so
In haste
those weels fail to listen
To their cautious embrace
Because that grasp is futile
To those who enjoy the speed
blast emotions through their speekers
rolling up the window
To those they feel
They feel they do not need
But so will they miss,
The neon embrace
When fun and games crashes
Their path, finally to realize all of their mistakes
As reality wakes up all too late

Subliminal Messages
I see that way
The face you make
As it falls
With the words I say
Hey look at thee
A beauty in deed
A plus I am to say
But then guilt is made
When I look your way
The want to say invades
To tell you
You are not the same
But my every want and aim
A bullet of beauty in every way
I love your more each and every day
But can not
For the fear I will scare you away
And I will be anything you need
My friend
For I am your slave

Monster and my baby bee
angry, alone
lies a monster
or so it looks
for there's no one who would know
the hurt inside their act
but even so theres no where to go
only cruel unusual jokes
and agony indeed
weary and in need
to make one leave life happily
finally those will see
the wrath put onto thee
Too greive so tragicaly
they bleed watching
as a family screams
what has gone through
My baby bee?
you see not a monster is thee
but the a monster that became
from reality.

Alice In Wonderland
Forever falling, calling up
An unfamiliar hole,
All alone she ponders
What futures will bestow
Only lonely thoughts
To provide any hope
And so,
Her ride does end
And Alice crawls into wonderland
Every face is a friend
As she entertains and pretends
When she weeps
For a change
That face will
Turn away
Unbiased
Alone and scared in
A daunting forest
Her face drips wet,
But she's not alone

Confessional Regret
Once I had thought
If love was true
I would be happy if you were too
But that was once and I'm a fool
Because I met the likes of you
Your love and linger smile
Tortures life's every mile
Because I know
The hand you hold belongs to another
And to gasp as I look back
To once upon a time
To a heart who felt like mine
Oh how I played and battered their mind
Unknowing the crime
Expected their best
To them
This apology please accept
My confessional regret

Love Game
Just a simple word
That's amusing to believe
Just how clueless it just might make you be
It sounds so chivalrous and though it just may be,
It also can be frivolous when you look though the seams,
I know it is so alluring, as righteous to the fullest
But if rush that sweet liquor,
It will only grant you a sickly dream
Everyone can learn to dance,
But if you don't stretch properly,
You could likely hurt the things that make the steps flow magically

The Bottle of No Pain
An aching longing rips through my facade,
That numbing soothing medicine, the bottle of no pain
This liquid that calls for me to take a drink
Takes my poor hurt soul and rips it from reality
Helps a fellow not to think of all their responsibilities
Until that precious shield fades and
That forbidden reality kicks me in the face,
Oh, that longing grips for a sudden barricade,
Those desperate hands reach out for that shot of fake
Begging please, for no more pain.

Mirror Vs. My Reflection
Too sinister to be loved
Too hated for that kindness
Too ugly to be wanted
Too remorseful to be silenced
I'm a monster in the depths
Because that what is said
I'm all a fool to believe
Because I am not
Like them
But I am,
Like them
Because I do not believe
A very fool indeed
Because I listen to what they say
That I'm a monster for my skin
I'm too silent in the end
I'm as ugly as I want
Yes my hate could undo kindness
But I will never be too sinister to love
And so in the end be loved in return

Cinderella and the Prince
Hello sweet excepting smile
Please sit down and stay awhile
In tune we dance in a song
Playing laughs on and on
Together as one
No one can compare
Or cares to complete
That glowing heat
What a mortal angel I am blessed to meet
The common perfect an absolute crazy thing
I'm so foolish indeed
But those lovely anxieties please and fantasies I dream
Life's perfect puzzle piece complete
And though attractive
The people I see
None of them are worthy
Enough to replace
Our perfect world of you and me
When the time we have
Is petite and imbalanced
