Used

"I don't know about you,
But I feel better than before.
"All the anger and resentment gone.
Wam bam thank you ma'am-
dressed and out the door.

But no, she didn'tfeel  better.
In fact she felt much worse.
As tears flowed around her,
Blurring the confusion and hurt.

Surrounded by her tears
In a puddle of sorrow.
She longed to curl into a ball
And hide from tomorrow.

Road Trip

We used to enjoy the Ride: You at the wheel, me by your side.
The breeze on our cheeks, the smell of the air
Taking in the scenery, we’d stop here and there.

The ride used to be all we desired
The destinations were extras, nothing required,
But, now it’s changed, and the road’s long and tired.

The destination is now the goal
What matters now is where we go.
Not how we got there, why, or when.
What matters now is where we end.

You can’t go without me
Nor leave me behind
I am still important
Because I’m your ride

You still love me, you still care,
But I’m just, the vehicle to get you there.

Peace Keeper

I hear a faint roar.
Anger is in the air.
My world begins to tremble,
defiance everywhere.
My insides start to swirl
like a whirlpool in the sea
as ghosts of what's to come
become reality .
I must go there
no turning back
as my instincts take over
to protect the Pack.
The fear wells up;
I try to intervene
the yelling that will endure
the misery of the scene.
My struggle to bear
will never cease
It's my life, my spirit
I must keep the peace.

A Mother's World

Dedication: This is dedicated a very special mother.

Tired of shouldering the burden
Tired of carrying the load
Tired of your needs always coming last,
Tired of laying the road.

Your feelings buried deep,
Keep your worries to yourself.
Bite you tongue when you can
Put others' needs first.

But who will take care of you
when unable to do what you do?
The load that you carry will fall to the side
your burdens will grow as time slips by.

Your responsibilities never fade
So you can get some rest
Time will never stand still
You must carry on your quest.

My Angel

Feeling helpless,
Not knowing what to do.
No need to worry though,
My angel's not taking me from you.


But keeps me from giving up long ago,
Hears me cry, listens to my soul.
Helps to fill the emptiness deep in me
To find myself beneath the layers of roles and responsibilities.


My Angel, I'm not alone,
My Angel, sharing my plight,
Wrapping her wings around me
Holding me tight.
