Jump off the ledge
You would be so happy
Jump off that ledge
There’s no need to be soppy
What is life?
But an endless trail of sadness
Join me and end it’s likeness
I am happy here I………promise
Come join me in my solace
Delusions
God hears Me!
Our Narrative
They came at night,
They told their stories in flight,
They risked it all to tell their plight.
We did not know from whence they came
And yet the truth in our stories were the same
My God never fails
My God never fails
Even when life makes you wail
And the endless tears make you frail
For your sorrows He was nailed
That in your joy you may hail
And sing praises to His Holy Name.
Lies
I looked into your eyes as you lied
I beheld your smile as you tried
To clear the guilt from your face last night
There’s no need for pretense
It only makes things more tense
When I know you brought me to this mess
You were meant to protect
And yet you aimed to subject me to torment
How flawless your game was
Until you realized that I was
Not who you thought me to be.
Realities
The human spirit is resilient in its attempt to hold on to the notion of love and the people that come in the name of it.
No matter the bitter, ugly words spewed or thrown our spirit stays steadfast hoping for better and sweeter tides.
Our memories hold on to what once was, preventing us from gazing upon what is, and it’s harsh realities.
The Strong Woman
I look out the window, with nothing left but the detail that you sold my heart out like retail.
Broken down by the words of your mouth, I blugeoned my spirit, thinking of wasted youth.
Refusing to be a token, refusing to be broken by the shards of lies that gave me midnight cries.
But I am what I am, a reflection of what life’s done. A hard but soft spoken woman, intimidated by a society that thinks I’m less than human.
For speaking of the abuse, for knowing I’m of more use than what they think I should be, than what they believed I could be.
If not for the Good News, I would’ve been broken down by their views, that I belong behind the pews.
With nothing to look at, nothing to behold but the disappointment in my soul.

Penance
I have no use for tears in this dark place;
My eyes made dry by years of unending tears.
I have no use for words in this empty place;
My mouth sown shut by fear and anxiety.
Why do we live if we’re meant to die?
Why do we love if we’re meant to hurt?
Some say it’s a penance for our sins
Others say it’s a curse spewed since
That’s why we yearn for the forbidden
That’s why we doubt we’ve been forgiven
The False Hope
When the pain won’t cease,when the tears won’t dry out
And the allure of darkness is irresistible .
How can you escape? Like a gazelle you leap and yet the traps are high as the sky.
So the dark angel calls out to you
Like a lover it enchants you, like a friend it comforts you
Saying ” It will all be over soon, embrace me and end your suffering. Love me and drink from my cup.”
But the cup of death has no man drank to tell the tale, of the horrors that awaits though veiled, from the eyes of the living.
And yet you grasp for hope
That you and death could elope
To a place beyond sorrow’s scope.
