Is there a way to stop the agonizing struggle?
Sweetheart, I hate to burst your bubble
Can't you see the forest for the trees?
There is no cure for your particular disease
Can you do what it takes to succeed?
What the fuck does that mean?
The answer is 'who fucking cares?'
So live this life to the fullest, if you dare
Peace comes from music, sex, and the bottom of a bottle
Enjoy it while you can... thats my fucking motto
It was the last weekend before children returned to books, bells, and chalk dust. Away from the concrete jungle we gathered together. There were brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, grandmas, grandpas, and cousins all trading in bedtimes, punch-clocks, and drive-through lunches for swim suits, fishing poles and romance novels. These were the last seven lazy, hazy days of summer.
I heard my mom yell to me from up the hill.
"Angela, time for dinner!"
I always dreaded her saying those words.
"Awww man."
But, as I started to gather up my hot pink beach towel and flip flops, and trudge up that hill, my stomach would grumble, and it wouldnt seem
All of time and space
And Im stuck in this place
As the dust settles
I pluck the petals
Of a daisy one by one
Lately I dont like the sun
I want the dark to stay
The memories never to drift away

Rhymes Don't Mean A Thing
there will always be someone who tugs at my heartstrings
i chase the light but i can't see what life might bring
my belly is full of beer
and there is a time when it might have drown my fear
this life is a joke for all who exist
if i find out who invented this silly game i'm going to be pissed
i should be resting as he suggests
what happens when i wake up tomorrow with balled up fists?
i won't blame him for my whole shitty hand
but what am i to do when i can no longer stare at the ceiling fan?
no one has the answer
and i refuse to say a prayer
i made my effort and it was my last ditch
should i do as my heart insists?

The world is upside down. When I adjust my crown a thorn pricks my thumb but reality is torn. Am I being reborn? Am I searching for something that doesn't exist? If I discover that is the case, I will be pretty fucking pissed. I will be brave. I will be bold. Fuck that. I am bold. I know all the truths that need to be told. All the right truths in all the wrong places. Go ahead, look at all their pretty faces, even they don't have the answers. The bruise on my left arm hasn't even faded and already my vision of perfection has been tainted.

If Honesty is Really Brutal
Alright, I get the message; moreover, I grasp your not-so-subtle point
We had friendship once; I am a spectator; watching, as its' destroyed
We tested the waters as lovers
Curled up naked, under my covers
I ask a question with no answer
It eats at me like fucking cancer
So I sit here writing this verse
And, all I can do under my breath is curse
What is my plan of attack?
Just start walking and never look back?
Give up, give in,
And try to find relief from this fucked-up situation I'm in.
If honesty is really brutal then why can we not be truthful?
He walks around me on eggshells,
All the while he schemes and writes spells.

Butterflies and Thunderbolts
You said, I think we owe it to each other to find out
And I never had a doubt
You took time to look, and saw so much others never see
I worried that you would feel like second choice, second best
From the first time our lips touched
I felt the butterflies and the thunderbolts
Do you think we rushed?
Fuck that
Threw out all reason
Told all logic…Hush
The first time I pressed my body to yours
The heat the rose up; lightning flashed
Damn, did I open a new door?
My mind screamed so loud…
Take me…take me, right here on the floor
Time flowed on like a raging river
Intensity always lingered
I looked up into pools of darkness that so
I know you saw this coming
I bared you my soul
I don't care anymore
I am bold
I know all the truths that need to be told
All the right truths, in all the wrong places
Go ahead, look at all their pretty faces;
Even they don't have the answers.
Like a thief who sneaks in during the night
To comfort my soul
You make me feel whole
It's not your bark, it's your bite
The bruise on my left arm has barely faded
And already my vision of perfection has been tainted
That's alright, because I've always known it was never real
I was the foolish one who gave you my heart to steal
I take scalding showers
To try to sweat thoughts of you fr
It must be hell to be locked up in that place. The people in your past may have thrown you in that cell, but now you stay by choice. Been alone in the dark so long that you don't know any other way. Constantly afraid that if you venture out the savages will rip your tender heart to shreds... and they just may... Hanging on to your anger and spite with everything you've got because otherwise it won't be the savages that get you... it will be the tornado that swirls around in your gut. It has traveled here from a far away land and brought with it seeds of loneliness and fear that have taken root in your soul. And you take comfort in it now, bec
Three generations of my family sit around a table in a crowded restaurant sharing stories about their daily lives. At this table is my Grandmother, my Aunt Janelle, my Father and my Mother, and me. My Aunt Janelle's son moved to Florida to be with a girlfriend he had been dating for a few years. They have since broken up but he has remained in Florida to finish up at the police academy and to look for a job. Someone at the table asks how Cory is doing and my Aunt says that he has just purchased a house, and then the conversation goes as follows...
My Mom "So how are Cory and his new girlfriend doing?"
Janelle "Oh, they broke up."
My Mom "O
