My Sweet Dream Of Freedom
Last night was so heavenly peaceful
Felt like I could fly
Soaring higher and higher
No slave chains holding me down
I don't want to wake up
Don't wake me up
I don't want this to come to an end
The light breeze comb through my hair
The light is so bright and beautiful
Smell the freah air
The smell of freedom
I spot something
Running toward it
Its the gates of freedom
I run faster and faster
Getting closer and closer
Finally I am there
As I reach to open the gates
It disappears
And I wake up

Me as in MaKayla Straight
Cant you see
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
I am me
Me as in MaKayla Straight
You may be able to make me fall
But you cannot hold me down
Because I am as they say strong
I hold my head up high
I frown at those who think they are better
I smile at those who hold their ground
We all seen a rainy day
We know what its like to be on the ground
But I will be damned if I stay there
I pick my ass up
Dust myself off
And smile again
I know I am stronger
After all I do have the blood of a survivor in me
So cant you see

Please Please Don't Leave Me
I don't want you to go
Stay here with me forever and ever
Everybody keeps telling me that God as a plan
What if I don't like the plan
I can't take it
If you leave
I will follow
How can God me so cruel?
Wanting you to go with him
What if you are happy where you are?
I don't know what I will do if I lose you
You have seen my worst
You have helped me through my failures
You never did
And never will
Give up on me
You been there for me
In times I just wanted to be alone
You helped me succeed in my dreams
And know I feel like I can't do anything

The Best Memory
The best memory I have is leaving you.
I finally felt power over myself.
I felt freedom.
No more crying over you cause you came home late.
No more pretending a smile when things aren't right.
I rememeber that day, like it was yesterday.
Oh wait it was yesterday.
Yesterday I got all the freedom I ever wanted
The best part is I can do anything
I want to without you dragging me down.
Now I can find somebody
Who could actually put their heart and soul
Into our relationship like I did with you.
I can not believe I loved you.
You must have drugged me or something.: (

Everything Except Nothing
I am tired of running
Running away from Everything
Everything except nothing
I run away from my Hopes and Dreams
Only because I am afraid of having them crash down on me
It would hurt so bad
Just to get off the ground will cause scars
It hurt like hell when I fell on my ass
Bruises are seen everywhere
That is why I run
I run until I am out of breath
Sweat dropping from my eyebrows
Now knowing where I am
Or where I will end up
Not even a little bravery inside of me
Just all fear
Fear of all the hurt and pain in my life
So I just run
Run
Run

Black+White=My Life
Black-
The color of my soul
White-
The color of my spirit
Together Black and White combined
It all equals my life
The 2 only colors
That are not really colors at all
The story of my life
I am alone
I die slowly and painfully
Not a care in the world
Where I would end up
If only I would survive...
Black-
The color of my Heart
White-
The color of my Hopes and Dreams
Together again Black and White reunite as one
As you can tell

Nothing To You and Nothing To Me
Your name is not on my birth certifict.
So dont claim to be my mom
You are nothing to me
All you are is my sperm donor's wife
That means nothing to me
Do you understand what I am saying
Stop telling people I am your daughter
Because I am not
You will NEVER EVER be my mom!
To my face you are so ever nice
But behind my back you thrive knife into my back
So you hate me?
Ha thats funny!
Because last night you said 'I Love You'
Why must you lie to me
And then yell and cuss when I do the same
I will not lie when I say
I hate you
You are nothing to me!
Nothing! !

When I Am Sleeping
When I am sleeping I can't help thinking about you. I can't help wondering if you really love me like the way I love you. I can't seem to stop thinking about you. I can't help dreaming that you will always love me and never break my heart. When I am sleeping I can't help think about what you might be doing. I can't seem to think without you in my mind. I can' t seem to think if your thinking about me. I hope you are, cause I really love you a lot and I want to be with you for the rest of my life. When I am sleeping I am dreaming, spending the rest of my life..... with you. I can't help wondering what you are dreaming while I dream about you.

Good-bye
Time to go
I have packed everything
Threw everything in the back seat of my car
Put myself in the drivers seat
Torn off the review mirror
So there is no looking back at where I just came from
Slamming my foot on the accelerator
I speed off
Leaving behind all the memories
The Good ones anyway
I think I will keep all the bad ones
To remind myself why I left
Why I stand with freedom over me
Everything before was just so complicated
But that was before I manned up and left
Not even a tear running down my eye
Only a smile upon my face
Now everything is breezy easy
Ever since I had stepped on that accelerator
So now all I have to say is good-bye

Me Vs. Me
It is official
I have lost the war
The war that is in my head
So much violence
It i s amazing how much I endorsed
I know I gave my best
I fought until my very last breath
I have tried
To only fail
I bow my head in shame
You are a loser
Chants in my head
I guess I should have listened to them all
They all told me
That there was no way I would win
Instead of listening
I put my pride on the line
When I walked upon the battlefield
My pride was stepped on
Shattered into little pieces
