UNTITLEDThe birds couldn't tell her
Or they wouldn't
One or the other
They said they shouldn't
She had to find out on her own
Just who she was
Not what she was shown
She just didn't know because
She was afraid
Afraid of who and what she really was.

STRESS
Ugly
Mountains of distress
Surround my body
Are visible signs
I feel ugly
My mind a mess.

THE CONSUMING
Pain and sorrow
Forever my silent companions
Quietly reminding me
Of the unfinished
The incomplete
I haven't yet done
What I dreamed I would do
The desire burns fiercely
In the depths of my soul
I've put it on hold
For the other parts of my life
People who don't understand
Even lie by my side at night
The pain and sorrow
Of all of mankind
It seems to consume me
So quietly it consumes me
Yet so completely it ruins my life.

THE DARKEST SECRET
He took me to his room
Laid me on the bed
Can you keep a secret?
That is what he said.
He put his hands all over
Then he pushed inside
Took away my dignity
He took away my pride.
Eight years I lived in fear
Wondering what to do
I'd like to ask my mother
What if that were you
Being explored in places
I didn't know were there
Feeling so alone
Being so scared
The whole time I wondered
If anyone even cared.
So if someone asks if you can keep a secret,
make sure you know what that secret is
before you make any promises.
A secret that can hurt or even kill you or someone else
is not a secret worth keeping.

I WISH YOU COULD TELL ME YOU KNEW
Walking down the aisle, my daddy with me
Tears in my eyes and an ache in my heart
I prayed to God, asked him why we had part
I begged and I asked please leave him with me
But the Lord took the man I dearly loved
I had hopes I had dreams of you being here
I pictured you holding my baby so dear
I saw you escorting me down the aisle
But that thought has been gone for quite a while
I hoped and I dreamed you�d stay here so long
That maybe a cure would come along
But your every heartbeat began to fade
God�s decision was final it had already been made
I wish I told you I loved you once more
But you passed too quickly through God�s open door
They tell me you knew how much I loved you
But I wish you could tell me you knew

WISHFUL THINKING
I wish I were in your arms
Keeping me away from harm.
I feel so safe in your embrace,
And the feeling is so good to see your face
As I look deep into your eyes,
The world around me disappears,
Because all I see is you and me,
Lost in love is how I want to be.
I wish I could feel your kiss,
Against my tender lips.
To taste your lips so sweet,
Every single time we meet,
Makes all my dreams come true,
Because I can never go on without you.
The love I have for you,
It's hard for me to explain,
Because sometimes words can't express
This emptiness,
That I feel when we're apart.
You have this hold on my heart.
So don't ever let me go,
I don't wanna be alone,
That's why I wrote this little poem,
To let you know what's going on,
Deep inside this heart of mine,
Before I run out of time.
So please let my wishes come true,
Forever I would stay with you.

LOVE
Love is a word a lot of people abuse
Love is misunderstood and often misused.
Some people think its a word for joy
Some people use it only as a toy.
But love if truely sought out
Could never be done without.
Love is something everyone could use
A cure for sorrow and a cure for blues.
Love is not found in a pretty face
How they treat you from the heart, touches real base.
Physical attraction that's all they see
Why does people think that's the way it should be.
Love in a person you can always spot
In there actions they show love a lot.
The approach of words spoken so calm
They look at people's feelings not to cause harm.
Search for love in all the right places
Maybe the courts wouldn't have divorce cases.
Reality is what I write
To make people come to the light.

WOMAN IN LOVE
When I first met you, I looked in your eyes
The feeling I got I never wanted to say good bye.
We dated and had a good time
When we were together I felt so fine.
Loving you the years went fast
I looked back and two years had past.
You asked me to be your wife
That was a beginning of a whole new life.
You gave me a child and a home
Then no more your love could rome.
It was hard adjusting the first five years
The pain and suffering brought a lot of fears.
I didn't know if our marriage would last
I kept living too much in the past.
You changed and treated me right
Then I had no more fears and frights.
You know it took a lot to bare
It all went away when you showed you cared.
Thank you for changing and making me glad
And now there is no room to be sad.
I love you and want you to know
Many years has past, I still love you so.

WORDS OF TRUTH
The journey we travel in life
We have trials to help us come to the light.
The ups and downs makes us strong
If you pray it gets easier as you go along.
Humble yourself to God up above
He will comfort and show his love.
He said, who is burdened come to me
I will make life easier, you will see.
Mankind is living in their own flesh
How do they expect for God to bless.
They try doing it on their own
Gods way is right, theirs is wrong.
To believe is not a crime
Go to him and make that bond.
Be last and put him first in line
Your life will do just fine.
Enclosing this poem I would like to say
God is with us every day.

JUST ME
From the time I was little, I knew I was great,
'cause the people would tell me, "You'll make it just wait"
But they never did tell me how great I would be,
If I ever played someone who was greater than me.
When I'm in the back yard, I'm king with the ball,
To swish all those baskets is no sweat at all,
But all of the sudden there's a man in my face,
Who dosen't seem to realize that I'm king of this place.
So the pressure gets to me: I rush with the ball.
My passes to teamates could go through the wall.
My jumpers not falling, my dribbles not sure.
My hand is not steady, my eye not pure.
The fault is my teammates-they don't understand.
The fault is my coaches-what a terrilbe plan.
The fault is the call by the blind referee.
But the fault is not mine: I'm the greatest, you see.
Then finally it hit me when I started to see
That the face in the mirror looked exactly like me.
It wasn't my teammates who were dropping the ball,
And it wasn't my coach shooting bricks at the wall.
That face in the mirro that was always so great,
Had some room for improvement instead of just hate.
So I stopped blaming others and I started to grow.
My play got much better and it started to show.
And all of my teammates didn't seem quite so bad.
I learned to depend on the good friends I had.
Now I like myself better since I started to see
That I was lousy being great-I'm much better being me.
