Celebrity Justice?
Let me see the headlines today
Jennifers butt increased in size
Britney found a new lay
while Madonna's fame slowly dies.
Christina went and died her hair
Justin and Cameron so inlove
Tommy jeans are now flare
and Alice bit the head off another dove.
We pay all thier wages
buy horriblly made CD's
they should all be in cages
instead they are sponsored by wheaties.
The ones who actually rock
get no publicity at all
they sing out on a dock
or make pennies at the mall.
What about Johnny Cash
a legend everyone admired
now we listen to trash
no talent hacks get sired.
I think I will stick to watching Cartoons
at least I know they are fake
unlike soap opera baffoons
Michelle with her vampire killing stake.
Aw gee Falicity got the boot
and Dawson is up the creek
Ricki actually is a fruit
Courtney turned out to be a freak.
They do some horrid crime
and get off scott free
while normal people do the time
they just have to bargain for a plea.
Do they even remember life
before they were famous and rich
cutting their own food with a knife
or sewing their own stitch?
Obviously not since they act like snobs
looking down on us as if they rule
sure they may have high paying jobs
who put them up on that pedastool?
You know when you really think
we can put their career in jepordy
if we begin to tell them they stink
they will no longer be a celebrity.

Broken Home
A bottle of wine
empty from a glass
poor mommy is wasted
laughing out in the grass.
Three children watch her
from a darkened room
the youngest child crying
their hearts filled with gloom.
Daddy packed his bags
he left months ago
mommy has so many boyfriends
today daddies name is Joe.
Mommy has no income
they just turned off our heat
no worries sister got a job
prostituting on the street.
Brother is on crack
he is a drop out
yesterday he overdosed
mommy didn't even pout.
The neighbors all know
they can't help but talk
everyone knows everything
yet things still come as a shock.
Daddy Joe beat mommy
gave her two black eyes
if she went to the doctors
she'd only tell more lies.
sister got arrested
put right in the slammer
for beating a man who raped her
with a big ol' hammer.
When I get older
I want to move away
because my home is broken
a place I fear to stay.

That Feeling
A beating heart
as fast as it goes
almost sweating bullets
and it shows.
Feelnig so sick
butterflies in the gut
cannot even eat
cannot swallow a nut.
Singing for no reason
always a smile on the face
dancing instead of walking
mind in outer space.
Okay you think
you have gone insane
when every second word
happens to be a name.
Just like a child
a crush gone mad
you are inlove
and honey, you've got it bad.

Back
Please Stay
Without you in my life
I am incomplete
why must we be hurt
over nothing?
Not understanding words
we hide in shadows
both of us jaded
Demons eating us.
Cry out in pain
I will be here
I will catch you
don't fall.
Can I do this
do you mind if so
why am I asking
don't know.
Look at me smiling
god you make me laugh
why you walk away
come back.
Can you hear me cry
I am in agony
I am so mixed up
remember me.
Hear the angels sing
strum the weaping harp
pluck a white feather
for luck.
Dream a white wedding
dance with the stars
you are my everything
sparkling love.
Water sprays from fall
like candy in clouds
I love you more
No math.

Stop & Think
I look backwards
back through my time
my past was awful
sour like a lime.
I am not sure
if you truely understand
how hurt I got
no one to lend a hand.
Alone in the cold
the tears I would cry
boys I cared about
always would they lie.
My legs never open
I fell into a hole
everything I was
the only treasure he stole.
Teased not only tourtured
my heart grew black
I hated everyone
friends I did lack.
I was worthless once
he said he loved me
then took away my freedom
to blind to even see.
Once I could realise
I cried once more
another man hurt me
my heart locked behind a door.
I am still afriad
you will turn to be
a fraud like all the others
leave me without a plea.
Don't take offense
to my only fear
I want you to stay
forever right here.

Solved
Look at what we created
as delicate as a rose
something that cannot be jaded
our love a river flows.
To take on a tradition
they use to call happiness
we have found a mission
our love we would confess.
Not knowing at the time
the feelings that would explode
the warning bells would chime
in our eyes it showed.
For no reason we argue
things get hard to explain
our tongues bite and chew
our souls let in rain.
Don't take it to heart
No matter what we say
words peirce like a dart
I love you either way.
