Write Out Of Me
Pale-Faced Sadness

You were so elegantly formal
Bluntly distant
I didn�t know
And I still don�t know
What to say to you

I am hurt
That you choose to be this way
Feels like you are breaking up with me
A friendship I fought so hard to preserve
Because you assured it a possibility
But now I know I should have gone�
With my gut

What happened to the words we shared?
Can they be so easily forgotten?
I cannot forget
How much I respect you
And the friendship we have
But in the mirror I am looking into
You seem to have forgotten
And made this by force of will
How much I respected you
And the friendship we had
Once upon a time

Muddy Feet

I haven�t wanted to spend too much time here in the corner
With only myself to talk to
With no distractions, not depression, not my boyfriend,
Not even how I�m going to get through life as me
Who am I anyway?

I thought I knew once but then things changed
I lost my vision and thus lost my courage
Not everybody does, I know, but I did
I know part of why this is
Too many people telling me I can�t do this
Or that I can�t do that
Too many people betraying me
In times of need
But why can�t I tell myself I can
And that be good enough for me?

Because I am stuck in this corner
That is not a corner but a puddle of mud
I can see a bridge just beyond this puddle of mud
The bridge is stable I know
The path to finding who I am
The path to making myself into who I want to be

Because I am afraid of the mud:
I hate the mud
I will not admit it to most
And only recently did I admit to my boyfriend
I will not date others who have lived
Taking their monster trucks through the mud
That I now sit in. 
Because I am afraid of the mud:
Because I hate the mud
Because of it I can no longer be
Who I once was
Easily mistaken for normal

Call it what you will, but please keep it to yourself.  No matter how bad I might think this in a year, or how brilliant I might think it now, this is mine so please let it be. 
I am Strong
I will not let my vision get in the way of my confidence.
I am exciting. 
The only person I want is you
Yet You are not worthy of want
How fair is it to judge me
Internal affairs is the harshest court
How can I turn from you
Muse which my words dance for
Independance slowly being stolen
              day to day
suffocation anxiety
                friend and foe
trying not to be angry
                struggle for fredom
being brave like Odysseus
            cannot see what lies ahead
Seven year stand-off with destiny
             when will I come home?
Faces

The wind in our hair, we cry out.

A longing to be free
open-eyed to what dreams may come
Listening to the forces within and around
Let me stand naked to the world
So that I may be understood
Fearlessly ride like thunder under the moonlight
The septor of power  in my hand
A thread of wisdom in my hair

Triton of fear I hold
Bleeding tears with eyes closed
I know but I cannot accept
Afraid of both past and present as paths for my life
Fear of betraying The Master of my past
For The Mother I hear calling my peace
Torn face
