I used to have a family
You know?
Back when I wasn't taken hostage
On your cold, ceramic tile counter top

And I used to eat real food
Did you notice I'm not a dog?
So feeding me mangled up, crushed bits of Purina
Doesn't make my coat shiny

I can remember a time when I felt alive
Instead of sleeping all day
Pretending to be dead
I used to be free

Then one day I was captured and sold into slavery
And you found me at that air-brushed T-shirt stand
In Ocean City
There you decided your life was incomplete without me

It's interesting how once we return to home
We forget about those summer nights
Wearing pucca shell necklaces
When you purchased me because of my superman shell

What is a superman anyway?
He mustn't be so super
If he can't get me far away
Far, far away from here

I'm dedicated to the writing I do
If I can achieve my goals you can to
All It takes is time and dedication
faith and hope
Disregaurd the feelings cause they shall cope
when you give your dedication to something
You won't achieve it in a day
You gotta put in more time
Put in more focus
You even have to put in tears
Cause there's time we will fail
I mean well fail a lot
But if on trying you ll feel like a star player when there hot
And when that happens,
Your now in a zone
now since you, ve reached your limit
Everyone will see your on

That moment when you first see there face
Knowing if they were in your life it'll always be great
So is true your first love
Keeps you in the cool mind of state

I remember my first crush
I was only in the 5th grade
Everytime I saw her face
I really thought I had it made

You know that feeling when they walk pass
And you catch them by your eye
Sometimes you feel like your in heaven
Sometimes you feel relief
And when there in a emergency you become the 911

That moment when they finally come to your
Heart
Making promises to never break apart
Its like you started a new life part
Attiension all how did yall feel when yall seen yall first love

What's the since of living
When you never feel right
I have no hope
Falling dreams
I know you wonder why a teen says these kinda things

I always been a child with no confidence in this world
I couldn't even get a city lady
So I started talking to out of town girls
Everysince that moment my cousin and brothers
Have judge me talked about me bad
I might smile in person but in the inside
I'm always sad

Girls in my city used me
Made me feel lonely and like a dummy
So I've developed some issues
Thinking every girl will use me for money

But now I understand that ever lady is not the same
I need a real woman to teach me these girls games
So I'm calling out to all women I really need help

My heart has been broken way to many times
I suffered pain everyday
Wish that special lady came
That way my pain will wash away

Mane I remember there was a time I had a crush
I really liked her more than any other
Everytime she came around I'd blush
But it ruined me when I realized she liked my brother

So what's the since of being good when it leads to no joy
I feel I've been more played than a child's toy
I'd rather die than cry
And no one cares to wonder why

I've lost all hope
With none to find
No way I ll cope
Cause at the end I ll be out my mind

I hate to see you face so much
You gotta deal with people
Plus today you were beat an d *****
I know that's to hard to forget and escape

If I was in your city with you
I ll always keep you safe
Cause I guess my feelings have been tooken over by your grace

I hate the fact no justice has been done
So right now your in a battle that's not even won
How could your brother allow them to do what they did
I guess he didn't know what to expect
So tell me how should give him respect

Its bad enough you deal with diabetes
You deal with stress
And this has added on to the rest
So I know your feeling a mess
But hope one day you ll be at your best
So may God bless

Putting off
Shoving away
Forgetting about
Yet to do
*Procrastination

You left like a jumping fish.
If I had blinked,
I would have missed it
and seen only
your ripples
left behind.

I am a fish out of water--
Cliché, I know
(heartbreak is so overdone),
but gasping for
something Forever
Out of Reach.

She is a flying fish,
a fanciful gift
nature blessed
to glide through your life,
because you had water
and I, empty air,
and she could wing
beside you,
both of you leaving
your ripples behind.

I don't know why I
Have this constant itch to express myself
When actually I'm unaware of
What exactly it is that
I want to *say
