Don’t let them forget

Don't forget who you are

Don't get lost in lies
Don't forget who you are
Don't forget how it felt to be free, feel equal
Don't forget the love and peace...
Don't forget how strongly you believed,
Don't forget why you want to believe...
Don't forget how to think...
Don't forget the courage it took,
Don't forget the pain, the sacrifice,
 The ideals that we cherished.

Don't let them forget

Who we are...
This is our house
Our neighborhood
Our neighbor
Our children
Our government
Our Rose Garden

Don't let them take that
Don't let the cruelty consume that
Don't let their words fool or placate
Don't let their excuses stand
Don't believe them
Don't let that be who we are

Don't let them forget
  Who you, who we, are

Jokes on You

You think i wasn’t aware all along

of the jokes you been makin’

the lies you been tellin’

The webs you been spinnin’

all over town

posing as the fly

well joker, jokes on you

some of them really were my friends

and i didn’t need them

if they believed you

I didn’t need them

if they thought you did right

didn’t question, didn’t ask me

yeah, joker

joke is on you

Cause I don’t care what you say

What you do.

I’m out of your lies

Out of your web

I give up, you win.

I’ll get on with my life

and not give it another thought

you keep sayin’ things

if it makes you feel better

the jokes on you

the only way to win this game

is not to play.

cause if they believed you

i don’t need them

Lessons

Sad Girl Clown

even after I realized

they didn’t love me,

I had the problem

I still loved them

even after I realized

That they didn’t want me

I had the problem

that I still wanted,

even after I knew

all the things

what they said,

the lies.

the truth

what they did,

I had the problem

I still loved them

so I tried to hold on

so they did it again,

on a grander scale

And even now

after all the bridges burned

and lessons learned

I still have the problem

That I love them.

Not my bread

i do not live as you
lies are not my bread
mean gossip
backstabbing games
when people ask
i tell them my name
when i care
i am easily led
when i don’t
i see
i tolerate
look you in the eyes
try to stay civil
but honey
i just as soon you
get out my face

Something ain’t right

All those times
I'd get so mad
I screamed so loud
but nobody heard
Nobody listened
All those times
I tried to tell you
but you never heard me
All the things
Something ain't right
Something ain't right
All those times I cried
because I knew
Something ain't right
Years passed,
 I learned to swallow back
the screams,
the tears
the grief
the fear
the anger
Put on on my Big Girl Pants 
I walked on,
alone
 I  survived
and Still..
Something ain't right.

Fifteen Minutes

I think I better
 Take that 15 minutes for me
 Before it all comes
 Crashing down
 Just 15 minutes
 For me
 To sort it all through
 Or Not
 Before I pick 
 The day back up
 Before I speak
 Before I act
 React, or not
 Do
 Anything
 Just 15 minutes
 Its all I need
 15 minutes
 Just for me

By a thread

Here I sit, poised and ready
Trills and chills and one big tickle
Excited, involved
Enthralled
God, help me
Entranced
Letting the dream loose and
Turning the world upside down
While hanging by a thread
God, help me
I’m takin’ a chance
Not able to tell if it’s real,
Till its done and a deal
Still I think
No matter the outcome
I m enjoying the dance

deflection

a lonely heart
cried out to mine
striking a note
i’d rather not chime
if only i had a vote
alone by choice
i was somewhat content
quelling that voice
that my heart sent
till the echoes
of a lonely heart
reverberated within me
and made a song
that does not belong
touched a place
i thought i’d erased

A Hell of a Guy

He’s a hell of a guy
but he’s not you
He’s sweet and kind and funny
but he’s not you
i feel a tug
but he’s not you
i could see us together
but he’s not you
charming and strong and clever
but he’s not you
it could go on forever
but he’s not you
my head tells me to move on
no use lingering illusions
of what might have been
but it tears my heart
and wounds my soul
he’s not you
