Uneasiness And Doubt Wrestle
Uneasiness and doubt wrestle
With my soul in an epic battle
For who will gain control
The feeling of uneasiness grows
While doubt lingers
I have lost all control
But as ancient ally rallies
To help battle for my soul
All my strengths and weaknesses
All come crashing home
I share them with my captain
His wisdom I have never known
He bows his head in prayer
Although a word is never heard
He taught me how to pray
As he rose from his ancient wounds
He began to bleed
Peace sprang from his soul

Bio Hazard Baby
You’re a biohazard baby
You became a blood sister
With the devil
When you were only three
You’re a biohazard baby
And I can’t believe that
Your evil heart has infected me
You’re a biohazard baby
You tainted my heart
With bloody misery
You’re a biohazard baby
With a PhD in breaking hearts
And you are handing out degrees
You’re a biohazard baby
They tested your blood
It came back type E-

Big Brother
Is that my Brother yelling at me at the gym
Telling me to push harder, faster if I want to get slim
Is that my big brother telling me to come on now
When I just want to rest and stare out the window
Oh how time claims where words and actions cannot be retracted
The snow falls as I put on my boots and listen to my voice
Tell me brother no I don’t want to play with you in the snow.
Their gone lost summer never recaptured
Is that my brother yelling at the gym
Like a fire breathing dragon push harder
Faster don’t you want to be slim
Is that my brother being impatient
Telling me to come on when
I just want to stare out the window
Time claims like a fishermen’s net
Where words and actions cannot be retracted
The snow falls as I put on my boots and listen to my voice tell me
No brother no I don’t want to play with you in the snow today
If I could only press the big rewind button impossible
The car moves on in a Sahara of loneliness

Some People Listen Some People Don't
You judge me before my words can come out
You can’t even look my way
And you leave me with no doubt
You won’t listen to a word I say
And I will never be heard by you
No matter what it is that I do
Some people listen some people don’t
Some people listen some people won’t
You shut me up before I can speak
You shut me up so you can keep me weak
Now I breaking all your rules
That you have made just for me
To keep me away from my history
From my strength and my dignity
Some people listen some people don’t
Some people listen some people won’t
You don’t know how many times I have prayed
That you would hear the words that I have to say

I Dreamt A Dream
I dreamt a dream
But now I lay awake
Sleep far gone
But the dream goes on
Sweeter than sleep
More tender
Than a poem
Through eternity
Like an epic poem
Our love
Our home
All boundaries gone
Together
A second
A breath
A whisper
A chance
A moment
A blessing
A kiss
