Someone someplace has won the lottery.....<br />
Someone somewhere lives in the bushes....<br />
Someone sometime buys his first car...<br />
Someone some town walks in broken shoes...<br />
<br />
Fate plays a prejudice tune<br />
Man can choose what he can do<br />
But not what happens to him<br />
<br />
Every choice a branch on a tree<br />
Every action a change in the path<br />
<br />
Where is it you want to go?<br />
Can you see what you decide will bring you to a place?<br />
Everyone in the human race decides where time leaves a trace<br />
<br />
What do you want in your soul?<br />
What do you dream in the night?<br />
<br />
How is your shalom?<br />
Did you find your way home?<br />
<br />
Someone surrounds himself with sadness....<br />
Someone embraces himself with joy....<br />
Someone wraps himslef in anger....<br />
Someone encompasses himself with love....<br />
<br />
Emotions stimulate and motivate<br />
But decisions lead the way<br />
<br />
Your town boarders the next...<br />
No distance protects from the waves you create<br />
<br />
Infliction cripples in pooling traps<br />
Love fress and illuminates!<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How can I love you?</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Knowing that you are breaking my heart</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Taking me apart</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Brick by brick</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My layers are undone</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You're suppose to be my rock</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But you're a snake </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That bites.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The poison flowing toward my beating pulse</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I need a cure from this inflicted illness</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is killing love</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is stealing life.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That precious thing you had twisted</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It isn't alive anymore.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is rotten and stinking,</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Food for the worms,</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How can you cause this death?</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How can you live with it?</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Stop hurting me!</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The shock of it has blackened my soul</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It has changed my role.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I want to run and hide.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Your face is the devil</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Your words lies</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Your eyes wicked</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I want you back the way you were</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The before and not the after</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The dove not the snake</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

MY KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOUR TOOK THE DAY OFF<br />
<br />
<br />
So the dragon flew in and he burned me down<br />
<br />
I sat captured waiting<br />
<br />
But he didn't come.<br />
<br />
(The sun rose<br />
<br />
The sun set<br />
<br />
The moon he never met)<br />
<br />
Time flowed<br />
<br />
The dragon burned me down.<br />
<br />
No horse rode up,<br />
<br />
No galliant stead,<br />
<br />
No man with sword in hand,<br />
<br />
Nothing grand.<br />
<br />
Just anguish<br />
<br />
Just torture<br />
<br />
Just aloneness<br />
<br />
Just pain.<br />
<br />
He had taken the day off.<br />
<br />
My heart broke....<br />
<br />
The dragon continued burning me down.<br />
<br />
I looked at the sky<br />
<br />
(It rained<br />
<br />
It snowed<br />
<br />
It grayed it blued)<br />
<br />
The dragon went right on burning me down<br />
<br />
I fell over<br />
<br />
I gasped<br />
<br />
I died<br />
<br />
My knight, he never came,<br />
<br />
It's always the same<br />
<br />
The dragon wins<br />
<br />
My ashes dust<br />
<br />
Still no knight to mourn<br />
<br />
Or obtain justice for me<br />
<br />
The Dragon laughed and danced.<br />
<br />
My ashes rust.<br />
<br />
(The sun rose<br />
<br />
The sun set<br />
<br />
The moon he never met)<br />
<br />
The Dragon proud of my death...<br />
<br />
No horse rode up<br />
<br />
No galliant steed<br />
<br />
No hero with sword in hand<br />
<br />
Nothing grand<br />
<br />
No tears of remorse<br />
<br />
No shattered heart<br />
<br />
No pining.<br />
<br />
My knight never noticed my dust.<br />
<br />
He forgot the trust.<br />
<br />
The Dragon burned me down.<br />
<br />
The Dragon getting bored, flew abroad<br />
<br />
and began anew.<br />
<br />
The princess was wooed<br />
<br />
The Dragon met his match.<br />
<br />
That knight with sword the dragon he did scratch.<br />
<br />
The Dragon fell over<br />
<br />
He gasped <br />
<br />
He died.<br />
<br />
The princess became a bride<br />
<br />
And my ashes love never met<br />
<br />
Not yet....<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

How can you say words that are untrue…..<br />
How can you stand there fist in my face and demand your space….<br />
How can you be so mean……..<br />
How can you make this scene……..<br />
All I wanted was to hide from you……<br />
All this fighting all this drama….<br />
It’s all from you……<br />
I sat in my room feeling so small and scared……<br />
Wishing I knew why…..<br />
How unsafe do you expect me to be……<br />
So you can scream your anger free……<br />
Hang me on the wall……<br />
And punch me like a bag…..<br />
Every negative thing you put on me……<br />
Now I’m the escape goat…..<br />
But you can’t escape the consequences…<br />
You can’t use someone to make yourself feel better….<br />
So, I wipe the dust off….<br />
I grabbed my things….<br />
Out the door cause this won’t happen no more….<br />
Now I’m free from you…..<br />
I leave you how I found you….<br />
Standing there wondering why your life isn’t what you wanted…..<div class="blogger-post-footer"><div id="cse-search-results"></div>

<br />
Displaced anger<br />
<br />
Shouts of chaos<br />
<br />
Blame mislead<br />
<br />
The road to self impulsion<br />
<br />
Being stuck.<br />
<br />
Why choose the roadof dpression?<br />
<br />
Why choose the path of blame?<br />
<br />
Look at the choices<br />
<br />
See the tranquility<br />
<br />
Experience peace<br />
<br />
Be a flower....<br />
<br />
Bloom with beauty<br />
<br />
Why not choose the path to fertility?<br />
<br />
Why not choose the path to strength?</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><div id="cse-search-results"></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When did I turn off my heart?</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When did I build encasing walls?</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’m a shut-in; a life that’s gone quiet; trapped in a frozen castle.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I sent out a knight to capture and kill all my emotions.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A queen on a lonely dais,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Not even daring to rule my heart.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">(It’s a thing gone dead.)</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Frozen in pain,</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It beats are icily resounding<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>throughout a white kingdom.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The sun never rises here</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">No warmth can touch me-</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’m a tundra at the end of the world.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A land ruled by snow and ice!</span></div>

Can’t find you<br />
ByMelinda Everett<br />
June 2011<br />
<br />
I am a tangled mess of emotions….<br />
…My eyes crystal orbs….<br />
Salt water typhoon, seas crashing water on the floor.<br />
Hardwood anger beating my heart<br />
…Clenching inside a darkest me…<br />
Questions never satisfied popping around my head.<br />
<br />
Is it a dream?<br />
Is it a fantasy?<br />
How far can you go so I’ll forget?<br />
<br />
Whirling dust of sadness reaches through time<br />
...Falling all around my frame…..<br />
<br />
No shovel can bury what has been written by a sure hand<br />
…Erasers hidden so the words etched flow on…Running anger can’t stop anything!<br />
The control is over my head.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><div id="cse-search-results"></div>
