Upon this page with words I do impart
The feelings that burn deep within my heart.







Daddy?

I closed my eyes and hoped to see
My Daddy
Who still remains unknown to me.

Heart

My heart was opened
Blood dripping from a fresh wound
Closed my heart once more.

Fading Friendship

Morning glory fades
Dusk in final appearance
Rest in peace my friend.

???

Shall I?
Or shall I not?
Be satisfied with what I've got?

Why O' Why?

Why o' Why
Can I not just die?
Why o' why
Must I forever cry?
Why o' why
Begin each day with a sigh?
Why o' why
End ev'ry night pleadin' to Him on High?
Why o' why?
Can I not just die?

I AM

I AM...
a woman with a spirit as unique as each day's dawn.

I WONDER...
at the beauty 'n' the grace of the majestic swan.

I HEAR...
a wee voice from somewhere deep inside.

I SEE...
that from life I can no longer hide.

I WANT...
to do 'n' to be what God intended of me.

I AM...
a woman with a heart for which only I hold the key.

I PRETEND...
that from love I've completely withdrawn.

I FEEL...
at a loss o'er the good years foregone.

I WORRY...
o'er when the valleys o' life will subside.

I CRY...
alone as I choose not in another to confide.

I UNDERSTAND...
that from reality one cannot flee.

I SAY...
what's on my mind with all honesty.

I DREAM...
when I'm awake o' not bein' life's pawn.

I TRY...
not to dwell on past loves bygone.

I HOPE...
that the future holds much for me to see.

I AM...
a woman with a unique soul when I'm just bein' me.

In This Room

In this room
I attempt to hide
bare walls close in upon me
once again I take it all in stride
grab the tools I've used before
to live not to hide
in this room.
