step 2
today wasn't the best of days
believe me
i deserve no praise
but i was active in my wanting
where some days it's just forgotten
to ask God for help
and although i didn't get there
i put out the intent by myself
so i worked towards what i wish
even if i threw myself down
and i hurt myself a little deeper
than anyone else around
it's progress, not perfection
and i can only do work on me
and i know that's far from good reason
but this is just the way that it be
so, i ask to be relieved of disappointment
and start tomorrow like it's fresh
and ask God for guidance and nurturing
on every single step

cabin fever
locked up in the woods
with your old overcoat
and a worn out pair of boots
you find the pictures of your memories
and the fountain of your youth
you can't control your present
nor affect your future
besides with strides
of excellence
and hopes to be made new
things won't go well
unless you ask God what to do
more likely than not
the answer lies within you
so stop trying to change your past
or begin from where you stand
reroute your future stance
go back and love your parents

sleep
goodnight moon.
goodnight world.
goodnight people.
goodnight girl.
turn off the light.
and shut your eyes.
the day is done.
no need to cry.
it's over now.
tomorrow is new.
and when you wake up
you'll still be you.
but stronger than yesterday
because you lived through it
and have learned the hard way.
your experience makes you mature.
and soon you won't be a little girl.
and as you become a woman, now,
wish on stars.
re-write your vows.
declare new goals.
and get ahead.
there's nothing stopping you.
just rest your head.
it's time for bed.

beehive
a beehive of activity
rushing around inside my brain
someones making honey
while someone takes the pain
and we all make a system
to make the hive grow
and we don't stop to sit
we just go and go and go
and it's beautiful and rare
the thing that we do
because this mind is quite the genius
even though it's not hard to do
to live the life we live
simple as bees, you see
thoughts come easy as pollen sniffles
that flows through trees in breeze

plans
I have big plans
but they can easily change
depending upon whose involved
or how I rearrange
it's never my say
or really what I wish
it's all God's doing,
so, I give it all to Him.
who am i to say
what will happen next?
i've never been right
anytime i guessed.
so, i go with the flow
and always let him know;
i'm glad that it's Him
running this crazy show.

oneword of the day: hinge
flapped open the door
and i saw it was raining
so i put on my jacket
and began with my training
it doesn't have to be intense
just a simple stride of cleansing
and i'm glad i saw myself
happily rearranging
i won't work too hard
on finding where i belong
because God does that for me
He knows it all along

clear head
i've come to some solid conclusions
that there is just NO point
to continue disillusion
real life is wildly wonderful
and i can smile for days
even though i must stay patient
and wait for things to change
i never rush myself
for it wouldn't work on my time
i have to wait for God to speak
and open up my mind
there isn't point in escape
or in trying to numb my mind
because i'm beyond very smart
and i want to feel alive
everyday i'm clean with contentment
i open myself up to clear my resentment
and forgive myself for the things i've done
and begin to realize
sobriety is more fun

us vs. all of you
use a t-shirt like a throw pillow
because its doused in sexy cologne
and you sniff him like you wish for him
practically put him up your nose
your in love with all the ways he went
out of his way to love you
and you knew it from the start
the very second that he touched you
you were immediately made to mate
and make everyday better than the last
because your both brilliant and bright
and you never second guess it
you own your spot on earth
with your friendly, kind ways
and you both make people feel
like they're in presence of pure grace
sophisticated dweeb
by every means
but proud of who you are
smarter than the average bear
destined to go far

fences
well isn't that amazing
the fence was totally locked
and it means that i can't open it
it's there for me to be blocked
and to be kept away from what i want
is something i know all too well
and what i've found is, its usually better
than if i got it by myself
because without the lack of something
we'd never know it's real power
and if i could get everything i want
well, i'd always be real sour
if the world worked the way we wished
we wouldn't really know shit
don't be so spoiled
suck it up
and don't be such a bitch

perfection
Its a package deal
But its sealed with linen
And you can change the size
But its the same from the beginning
In the sense that she won't compare herself to anyone else
But the reflection of her knowing
She has respect for herself
For reciprocation with love unmistaken
To be pure as before
Except its learned much more teaching
To be oneself
Must learn to undress without over exposing
A need besides the one
Who fits under your tongue,
your own bodies feelings
YOU are more qualified
To release yourself
And be eyed as the single most beautiful creature
If you reflect pure love
You'll undoubtedly discover
Exactly what you deserve
True love must exude in every word that you chose
with eye expression unrelenting it puts points across
Control your emotion
By utter devotion to NO ONE but God
Your the only being that needs to feel higher
You must fulfill your own desire by expecting yourself
To neverendingly find
Your the best soul you know
Because of how you wish to grow
Use perfectionism to guide your own stride
& away you go

alone time
runaway with your emotions
to a far off place
but be present
stare them right in the face
accept what you are
you'll become what you wish
if you actively try
to never dismiss
the things that you've done
and what you've said
you'll grow from your issues
and you'll clear your head
if you take the steps
to become grown up
by hearing your conscious
and not falling for bluffs
be real with yourself
its the only way to survive
take your time with this task
you've got your whole life

faith over fear
breakthroughs come from breakdowns
and the worst of them bring great faith
and when you find yourself on the other side
you can finally take a break
from the worrying and the wondering
of what you can do next
just put one foot in front of the other
and quietly take the test
of how well you listen to righteousness
and what feels best in your gut
don't be afraid to act without planning
as long as you listened to God's love
you're never alone on this journey
He's as close as in your ear
so please believe what He's told you
there is nothing you should fear

drop it
start to believe in what you gave up
and know in your heart that you've always been enough
no matter the size, shape or the place
you're still you,
you still have your face
things may change
they always do
but don't forget where you want to go
or what you've been through
you're the luckiest you
that you'll ever be
even if someday you win the lottery
because no one can have it better
then being present
and no one gets further
then where they last ended
each moment is golden
and each breath is a gift
if you hear nothing else,
please hear this
you're the star of your show
and you've mastered your role
keep doing it with heart
and let regrets go.

repeat
they repeated this word
two days in a row
like the way i make mistakes
and i can't let them go
i do it again
after i said that i won't
because obsession is hard
and it's gotten much worse
because i'm smarter now
enough to fuck shit up
by using my brain just too much
i don't use it for the betterment of my body
but for feeding fear
and making me act irresponsibly
the way that they love me
is never the way that i feel
all that i know
is this pain is too real

ill prepare myself for maximum love
and quiet down the judge
of just what i should eat or where i put my feet

oneword of the day: below
below the shallow shell of the girl
who is mad at herself for what she can't control
is the heart of a person that is brave and bright
who smiles so white she lights up your night
and she won't for a millisecond forget to breathe
because as long as she feels love
she won't ever leave
the heart is the core
and hers works hard enough for many
spreading ecstasy and light,
empathy plenty

i know it's not normal
A few inches forward
And flew light years back
To a person I was before
Loaded with doubt
Afraid of my shadow,
Petrified, really
Uncomfortable with every touch
Hating my own feelings
Its funny to find that accepting oneself
Can be erased in just some days
By the old you from your past
No, your not the same
And you'll never ever be
But some things that once mattered
Could come back with painful stinging
Suffocated by regret is something I now miss
And obsession with size again
Makes me fight to want to live

don't underestimate me
I'm jumping out of my 5'5" frame
Because pain in my soul
Well, its back again
With a new set of words
To add to the hurt
The fact that I love the voice
Probably made it worse.
Sizable or extra
SCREAMING
In my head
And although I want to go back
This self hatred is loud again
You don't know what I've been through
From an hour or so of words
And this road is more windy
Then you'll ever really know
So take this as a hint
I'm always on the verge
And the feeling of unworth
Is never as deep as it can grow
So becareful what you say
Or pull out now
Because I only need love
not pointless advice
The judge is in my head
As is the little tiny sneak
Who prays to feel one way
But can easily eat it
So go about your business of bodily obsession
But I must focus elsewhere
Or it can get dangerous, if I forgot to mention
The magnitude is large
And I am REALLY not
If you don't think so,
a million others find me hot.
So I'm tossing out the sounds of exactly what I heard
And hoping that you know
I won't leave you,
I'll leave the world.

raging
a beast at heart
brave, but fights dirty
right from the start
rips you apart
tears you to pieces
eat you for dinner
and leave nothing but you bleeding
hopes you lay long enough
to effortlessly eat later
the rest of your body
like the leftover remainder
don't care who you are
but what you have to give
the bitch is a gold digger
don't give her a kid

you can't determine where you'll go

he bought me it for Christmas
it was the cutest little gift
like a whole year of sustenance
and it came rather quick
like the connection in his eyes
and how he had me at hello
and every time i'm inside my mind
i know exactly where i'll go
to him and his face
and all the way he's made me
see clearly and contented

sorry bout your luck
f*** what you heard
i don't play games
i'll tell you what i said again
but YOU can take the blame
for being overzealous
and seeing too much into
the things i do
and what you'd been through
pack up your shit
and be on your way
because your not the one for me
and never were, anyway
sure i love you,
i love everyone
but i'm not going to settle
because you had so much fun
you saw something in me
that truly is there
but it's not for you, bro
sorry if i can't care

and seeing too much into
the things i do
and what you'd been through
pack up your shit
and be on your way
because your not the one for me
and never were, anyway
sure i love you,
i love everyone
but i'm not going to settle
because you had so much fun
you saw something in me
that truly is there
but it's not for you, bro
sorry if i can't care

champagne
pop a bottle for good luck
and make a memory last
the rest of your life
won't be like your past
time will only tell
what you will see
so pour yourself a glass
toast it with bubbly

estate
the collection of your assets
in one big space
that you decorate and dust
with love that you create
the chance to lay your life out for once
and feel settled in where you stay
and stop your gypsy kind of life
you hated it anyway
so work on what you want now
and don't worry about anything else
just focus on the best parts of life
and learning to love yourself

oneword of the day: cactus
sharp like a tack
hurts deep inside
in the small of your back
and up your whole spine
the stabbing and the cut
the whole attack
is enough to make you crumble
and show the things you lack

conquistador
you can have me
for desert
everyday we're on earth
when we decide to make things right
what we'd denied in our past life
and now with pride
of our find
and our better sense of self
may i take you as my prize
and the highlight of my quest?

general inlook
you're not my problem.
i've got bigger fish to fry
like my future
and my next move
and whether i'm doing more than get by.
no matter what the next day brings me
i walk away with all my dignity
because i build my empire from the ground
with my bare hands and my big mouth.
and whatever i accomplish or not
is mine to claim.
i've laid my bricks.
and i'm the one who paid.
so i don't owe anyone a single iota
except reciprocal respect
and appreciative moaning.
don't you get it?
most would like to keep me
and i've done all i can to never repeat them,
my mistakes and wrong moves
that throw me off course.
but no matter the situation
i'm still the boss.
i manifest my destiny
with my smile and soul
perfectly aligned with a big bright bow.
and i don't blame another,
especially a girl,
for where i've ended up in this world.
i play my own role
and others are cast extras
and i analyze each script
and i respect their opinion
but all that it is
are mounds of massive emotion
that create chemical reaction
it's not so difficult
to keep your head
and work for best interaction
it makes life a shit load more relaxing.

carved
carved out my heart
and put it in a book
with a long list of things
i didn't get to do
with pictures of my past
and cards from old birthdays
good times past
and loss of love that hurts me
harder it gets
daily i fall
and regret my mistakes
and scream fuck the world
but with every new day
that i've gotten over some bumps
i find strength in myself
and i gain back self love

you're so vain
you know nothing about me
but you hate what you know
which is, i'm a girl with a way
to touch peoples souls
i've made men fall deeply
and don't have a clue how
except that i love to express
being happy and proud
of the way i can work words
to find ways to melt hearts
and have your said property
stay madly in love with my life
i'm compassionate with truth
i don't sugarcoat
i give good advice
like i'm a 1000 years old
you might not think i'm so pretty
but i have nothing bad to say about you
except that i perceive you as pathetic
and a gold digging loser
but your physical attributes are your own to misjudge
i don't hate on other woman
i show infinite love
so appreciate your body
long legs, pretty eyes
find joy in your body
make love to your own thighs
try opening your mind
to allow your real heart
to make the final call
in the way that you talk
if you want things to work out
the way that you want
be selfless and understanding
just for a start
then try to focus on something other than me
and taking a mans money
and making unwanted babies
try getting a job
do something good with your time
this is America honey
we all work for our dimes
don't be so involved
with what you do and don't have
let the past go
treasure each day your alive

make me music
from my eardrum
to the depths of my soul
the sound of guitar
best feeling i know
bring me to sing
sounds of symphony
chords of glory
riffs of a rough boy
beat of my nightly joy
feed my ear
connect to my soul
keep me smiling
i'll shout it loudly
you'll live inside me

your future
by the fireplace with care
your hope your love
your best wishes
hung delicately over there
with the past and what you wished
and your faith in tomorrow
your love and your lost ones
just undoubtedly cuddled
with warmth and good tidings
and chewy Christmas cookies
your next year and your best year
in your stocking with your lover

scar
it didn't go away
it stayed and it still hurt
the feeling that i lost you
was enough to make me nuts
and i knew it was my fault
everything i did back then
but the pain never left
and it beat me near to death
continuous reminders
and the happiness i lost
kept me wishing and hopeful
that you'd come back to my life
i found out what i needed
that you're the only person for me
so i work on myself
and can only wait and see

all of the above
all the pain
and the anguish
the sorrow at the struggle
the places and the people
the petty fights for my loving
it was for purpose,
you see
i needed to find me
and as i've fell deep
i've begin to finally see
this is it, i'm me
the only one i'll ever be
and with all the love inside me
i know that now i'm finally free
among everything else i've learned
most important is how i've grown
to give myself more credit
and love my entire soul
and with the sudden breakthrough
of what i never knew
i'm patient and hopeful
that you come back and love me too
