The Story Of My Mask

By day I am undercover.
Nobody knows the real me.
My heart is in a tangle
Mixed between my life and him.
Some how they don't mix.
Is it because the real me has not shown itself?
The real me has hidden away behind the shadowy clouds.

By night the mask comes off.
The shadowy clouds disappear.
There are no mixed feelings.
My life combines with his.
Everybody knows the real me.
My heart is untangled.
It's straight and full of love.
My mask is lost.
The weather is sunshine all the time.
There are no clouds.

Do Not Take Her- Helen Hepner

Dear Lord,
You know what's best in everyone's heart; including my Grandma Helen. As you know she was diagnosed with lung cancer and has only a short time to live. I must ask you why. Why is her life being cut so short? She is loved by many; including myself. I was named after her because of the amazing woman that she is. I wish to become like her one day. Smart, beautiful, talented, and loved. I do not know anyone who does not love her or her cooking. She is an amazing woman that I am glad that I am related to. However Lord, why must you take her into your gates? Is it really her time? If I can may I ask to take her place? I do not wish to see her go. I rather it be me. Heaven awaits for her, but she is needed her by many. We will miss her all dear Lord. Please Do Not Take Her

I am forever your child

In Love With An Older Man

The law will not stop my love for him
And neither will my parents
I love him indeed I do
If it is against the law to be in love with an older man
Then I am gulity with a capital G
For I do love him; forever and ever they say
If my parents make me chose between him and them
I pick him for he was there
Sorry Ma and Pa but love comes before anything
Stop me trying to love somebody will never happen
You can try all you want
Yet you will fail
I love him
Oh how I love him
Stupid law cannot and will not stop my love
Lock me up and throw away the key
Because I have no innocence when I am in love
Ma and Pa can kick me out or hate me I do not care
For love is my new thing
I love him

A Message To My Mom

Where were you when I needed you?
Were you with that wanna be?
I should have known.
You'd take any guy.
Instead of taking care of your daughter.
I don't know why I waste my time writing about you.
When you don't give a damn about me or the other kids you lost.
Yes, I amitt I stil love you.
But now think do you really love me?
Do you care for any other person besides you?
If you did stop KILLING me with your actions.
I am tired of hearing about your accidents.
I never asked you for anything.
Now I will, though you might not do this....
Can you please CLEAN UP?
Take some RESPONSIBILITY for your actions and your kids.
Could you do that for me?
You write saying how your life is hell.
Life is what you make of it.
If you don't like it, change it.

Eldora Mae Straight
I miss you more than my words can say.
When I found out you died- I lost a part of me
You were so innocent when you went away
Part of me is mad for not being able to say goodbye
Part of me is sad knowing I will never see you again
But most of me is happy, you are no longer suffering
Grandma I love you so much
As I cry writing this
I want you to know you were one of the few I looked up too.
I ask you to watch over me.
Keep me in your loving embrace
As I will keep you
Carrying you in the casket was the most depressing thing I had to do.
But seeing grandpa cry because he saw you in the casket killed me
I lost it when I saw you laying there
You werent the same person
You werent my fiesty grandma
I miss you so much.
I wish you the best

Let Me Go

I can't believe you won't let me go
Don't you see it's best for both of us
You don't love me
And I sure the hell don't love you
We been through to much for each other
I know the real you
And you know the real me
Can't you see it's better for us just to walk away
Walk away from all the pain and suffering
I don't know about you
But I'm tired of us fighting
I'm tired of us yelling or screaming
It gets us no where
So please just let me go
In the end you will see it was meant to be like this
Nothing is perfect
Hell I know all about that
But being happy is not perfect
And obviously we are not happy
Why not end this

Mom

Mom
The pain you have caused needs to stop
And it will stop, very easily will it stop
I don’t want you nor need you in my life
Do you not think you have cause enough?
Enough to the heart and to the soul.
So this is my goodbye.
I am tired of crying and all the pain
You caused all of this
Mom
You are not supposed to be my friend
You are not supposed to be someone there
You are my mother
What did I do to deserve a mother like you?
You don’t care
If you did you would come visit me
Instead of paying to kill your child
I cannot believe you did this to me
Mom
What kind of mother are you

I Will End This

No matter how much we wanted this to work
We both know it couldnt
We are so much different
I am the sun
And you are the moon
I do not know how we made this far
Yet we did and it was great
We fought our never ending battles with each other
No one won because it hurt to continue
I did hurt you once upon
And you did hurt me
An eye for an eye right?
We just need to stop and end this
Its not healthy for us to continue this battle
You say you love me
And you know I love you
However if we were meant to be
We would not be enemies
You were once my best friend and my lover
But as time went on, we sepreated

I am sorry Robert

I've finally hit it
I hit the bottom
And it hurt like hell
Nobody is to blame I guess
Except the one looking back at me
I am the one who caused this
I am the one who lied
Our relationship was based on one single lie
Which led to more lies
You think your the only one who hurt
But no I do too
I screwed up
Trust me I feel the emptieness in my heart
It would have been better if you never met me
I screwed up your life
I screwed up everything
Appologizing is not good enough
You need so much more than that
They say shit happens
Yeah it does

Hurting A Girl Like Me

You hurt me once,
Never ever again
I was blind once
Believing everything you told me
You are like everybody else

I am closing my heart out for sure
Now nobody comes in and nobody comes out
I will not get hurt
Especially by you
I am sorry it came down to this
But that's how I feel
And the feeling will never go away

Thanks to you
You must feel really proud of yourself
Hurting a girl like me
I am going to miss the happy moments
