Change is life,
You have to fight!
Fill out the forms…
You’ll be alright,
There is so much,
We just don’t see,
What we “hope” is a mystery,
Respect the loss,
Do not grieve,
We’re being watched,
I do believe,
And only God knows…
What “too soon we forget”,
Each time we light that cigarette,
Still…you complain,
“Life is so hard”,
Spoiled!
Your not even in charge!
And that makes you scared,
Relax,
Understand,
Every decision is in God’s hand

A humid night…
Indigo blue...
My skin glistened with midnight dew…
I was only a speck in space,
The trees silhouette...
Black lace
A fog rolled consuming my skin,
With the breeze
I opened my arms…
We begin
From dusk
Till dawn
I will hold the light
Whenever it's dark...
I love the night

Talking to myself,
Not in refrain….
No, I am present...
My peace is contained,
Now....
I am here….
Accepting the past…
I am forgiven,
But the future goes fast,
When in conversation,
I must always be kind,
Imagine....
A feud...
I would lose my mind!
I know God is watching,
And big brother too,
I am in my best of health
And is why I smile....whenever I talk to myself.

Another evening,
Nothing odd,
I lit  my smoke and spoke,
with God,
Heaven bless me,
Then I had it,
You had me…and we ****** like rabbits,
Comfort then,
Now…you hurt me,
But God put you there…on my journey,
This Jesus told me,
At my  loneliest time...
“I will always love you...because you are mine”,
Oh bless the men,
The father’s,
The brother's,
I was cared for by no lover!
No...
All I earned was a purple heart,
But Christ died for me,
How great thou art!

Like a ghost,
You are here,
When that sweet smoke appears,
Those haunting memories,
We were happy my dear,
No spirits….
Just memories….
My shadows of you…
Then I sober up…
And remember…..
It’s true…..
Yes, you do…..
YOU ****

She went to be bed with her makeup on  
Feeling like *****…..
Reflecting in her bathrobe…about the night before,
Hell you know she asked for it!
What will the neighbors think?
Still half asleep and hung over,
Her cheeks are still pink,
And he… was never there,
And never was before,
She turns off the monitor….just one hit more,
She washes her face,
Still smiling,
Nothing said…
Wipes off with a towel,  
And then goes back to bed.

To live a good life,
I was told to succeed,
Climb high over everyone,
Before they get me!
Oh, I am so high...
Isn’t it queer?
They said I was dumb,
But I got here,
I did succeed,
God knows…I tried,
I think it was God…..
Guess I’ll know when I die.
