Free Bird

To fly like birds
Not of this Earth
To cry like doves
Not heard since birth
To be stripped of securities
And still have worth
Freedom lives

Reasons to

To feel undamaged
To feel pretty
To feel whole
To feel alive
To feel light
To feel grounded
To feel wanted
To feel worthy
To feel accepted
To feel inspired
To feel loved
To feel

2 in 1

Bordered world is unbound

Soulmates all around

Hearts together are not sewn

You and me are not alone

Finned

She doesn't let anyone in

Her house it seems is full of sin

She secretly wants to be thin

As she sips on her tonic and gin

Pondering what could have been

Why does she play the game that no one can win?

Let Me Fall

Let me fall
So that I can rise
I may be small
Spirit has no size

For better or for worse
Like an old abandoned building
I will get rid of this curse
No longer a dirty thing

Unharnessed

Kerouac Bum
Will I make it in this slum?
What am I pretending to be?
Nobody can see me
I stand undressed
My relationship is a mess
Looking for the courage to be exposed
This direction will have to do I suppose
Vulnerable soon-to-be road carcass
No shining armor to stop the bus
Van Gogh had the guts to cut off his ear
What will I do in this new year?

No Way Out

Looking for dry land
Brother, can you lend a hand?
While the copyright is pending
I'm working on a happy ending
You know what this is all about?
I'm lost and there's no way out

I swallowed the bait
Sorrow is my soulmate
Three lefts make a right
I think I'll clean my gun tonight
Now you know what this is about
I'm still lost and there's no way out

Life Sentence

Her first felony
Sentenced five years
Got out
Somehow she committed another
That sentence lasted six years
Now she understands that she is best
When she is single
Love is not the same as need

i

I'm not a little girl anymore
Nobody's looking at my stats or the score
Things don't make sense anymore
What happened to the people i adore?

Nuts and Screws

My daddy was a carpenter
But he destroyed more than he built
The day is getting closer
When I can let go of all the guilt

I've been pouring all of my sadness
Making words into a song
But the piano man keeps humming
The key signature is all wrong

It's too easy to feel jaded
I know enough to keep it simple
Just keep giving and forgiving
Everything is fleeting like a pimple
