So many memories trapped in one place.
Slowly dissipate with each step I take.
Once just company, now I lay, I sleep
and wake up each and every day.
Time has passed, people have passed.

Soft kisses fall from your lips
and dance on my skin.
Penetrating the shield
I've built from within
Melting the hurt, the pain,
the tears that I've cried.
Letting you in
I now feel alive

Anticipation, irritation consume my every thought
Mini Miracles in play as the day trudges by
I sit with you on my knee as tears fill my eyes
I pinch myself until I bleed
My blood is sweet

Why can't you see
the curse you left on me?
A burden I'll bear for eternity.
The peace of mind
I'll strive to find.
Keeping you far away
For if you get too close,
it will be my loss, my

Goodbye old friend, old enemy.
Remember me! Just one of many.
You were there when I was weak.
You took my hand, you held my cheek.
You told me I wouldn't feel a thing.
I trusted you.

Lost inside myself
No way out but in
Undeniably passive, easily overlooked
Pondering what could have,
would have, should have been.
Wasting precious moments with sin.
Trying to fill that empty

Since I was five they've wanted you gone
You weren't strong enough
Undeniably passive, easily overlooked
This baby voice really took
Was it the feminine quality I sought?
Or something else

Starting over and still so young
A little strange, a little fun
The new me sits on an old stage
Waiting for the act to begin
The leading man still missing
What else is new?
I am, I am, does

Just yesterday or a million years ago.
It took seemingly endless amounts of tears
to fill my soul and float back to the surface.
It took so many broken dreams to think
that one could actually be

They asked her to speak.
She felt like a freak.
Was she simply there to amuse them?
A side show at best.
Yet she couldn't contest.
She fed them her lines they said , "Thank you."

Who am I if not a girl
without my hair so rare and red?
Who am I if not blue eyed?
Who am I if I don't cover my freckles
from side to side?
Who am I without the blues
purples & pinks placed

I saw you lying there on the cold concrete floor
I picked you up, hoping to give you more
Didn't know quite what to do.
I could see on your face, neither did you!
As soon as life returned to

proud and shiny and new.
The way I felt then
was so beautiful and true.
My dreams needed no thought

Sometimes I feel haunted and overstuffed.
In this strange body of mine I've had enough.
Life is a gift and I should be grateful.
I find myself more jaded and wastefull.
Hateful in my thoughts,

The ladybug I saw was stuck on a door.
Like it was meant to be there,
and it had been there before.
The next day there was one on my shoe,

No one likes advice or to be told what to do
The thing is this creates a resentment or two
Authority comes in many different forms
In one way or another we try to conform

The fluorescent ceiling too bright for my tired eyes
One tiny pill transported me from night to morning
With no warning, two women said, "Let's go."

I hadn't given them much thought
That last fantastic moment
I had almost forgot
What a shame to let it slip away
So cherished in my heart
Still is to this day

A common release burdens us all
In with the good, out with a fall
Is this really it, the last hurrah?
So many years together we've spent
What have I gained? Pleasure or pain?
Nothing to show

Why do I wake up this way?
Not yet ready to face the day?
Contemplating things ahead?
Can't I just go back to bed?
Do I really have to go out there?
Put on makeup, comb my hair?
Why can't I

So damn cold
A bathtub filled with ice
So cold
Barely melting
Just enough to break free from my skin
I don't notice
the white hairs attached
So cold
But it's getting warmer
the ice is melting

The power it once held
overwhelmed my memories
So strong it almost

I almost let it

It confused me to the point of

I almost stand above it now
firm and strong

and searched for silence
I felt tiny pebbles

I looked down at them
and they started talking to me
They wondered why I searched

It opened its wings and gave me a show
Showed me things I didn't know
As it flew away I couldn't even blink
So beautiful I shook my

Breathe in the condensation.
Fill your mind. Fill your head.
Who knew there was so much space.
Tiny pictures, all mixed up.

A new beginning

Escape to live another day.
Everything's fine
everything's great.

Still with me when I sleep, nightmares so dark so deep.

Starving for attention,
you eased my perception.
I ate you up destructively.
You fed my fears internally.

Four dogs today.
Four dogs all different, completely the same.
Short and small, legs barely two inches tall!
not very smart, with the biggest heart.
I love them all!
They'll never know how much
