Family

I miss you

Today my mommy taught me
how to tie my shoes
Today my mommy taught me
that life's not win or lose

Today my daddy struck me
with the back of his hand
Today my daddy told me

Fail

Fail is me
Fail is who I've become
I do not belong here in this world

I do not know why I'm here
I should've never existed
I don't want to be here
So take my life

This is all true

What Happened To Trusting Family

Why do I give my Love and my trust?
Wearing your on your sleeve seems to always be a bust.
My dad always said family will stab you first,

Friends

Grandpa and Keith were meant to be
Friends on earth and for eternity.
Riding their bikes all over the land,
Seeking out the best ice cream stand.
They always picked the best places to eat.

The Doll

Looking down
From the shelf above
Watching tears and sorrow
Of old hurts and pains
A young girl cries
Over a person
She cannot remember

I watched
So many years ago
As a man slowly died

Tribute to Mother

Years of my childhood, my deepest thoughts concieved of values, morals everything i believed.
A woman in my life has outshined all others
my considerate, kind and loving mother

My Brother

Every Night we look up to the skies,
Images of you with tears in your eyes,
Then we stop to think you`re in a much better place
And we start to see a smile on your face

I Wonder!

I wonder did you hear me
When i sat by your side today
Telling how much i miss you
In our special sister way
I wonder did you hear me
As i put your flowers in the vase

Your Not My Dad

You were never there
how dare you say you care
You dont know me
so you cant love me
You have done nothing for me
so stop saying your my dad
You abandoned my mom and me when I was a baby

We Are All In It Together

You loved her when you met her
I made you nervous
but then again who can blame you
I was the rebelious teen
that wore a mean look on my face
I guess I felt like things were out of place
