Hope is Overrated

 The knee has been lifted  The guilt has been shifted The spotlight is shining  And there is no more hiding The wolf has been found And we all celebrate now That justice has been served  As he awaits his term It will never be long enough It will never replace the love Stolen from those around you When he kneeled upon you But the knee has been lifted The world has been gifted With hope of change Hope on a grander stage  Hope...until we turn on the news Until we see your name replaced anew  The burden of this weight  The fight for life too late  Is getting old, is getting heavy A story too many times told, as we all sit ready The next name to add to an evergrowing list Even as we know there are too many names we've missed I've heard it said you can finally breathe,  But really?  We all know that isn't true  As we take deep breaths for you  And look to the skies  For a sign Of hope for tomorrow's boy Hope for the next George ...

Free

 Free to be me The one who was created so creatively I'm free to be who I was called to be To receive all that has been set aside for me I'm free to carry within the power of life and death Death always being the reminder Of the life I'm free to lead I'm free to speak truthfully and without shame No hesitation in my game I am free to like and dislike as I please Regardless of what anyone else thinks of me I am free to protect myself and my family From those who don't hold our best interest at heart And I'm free to say no when I'm tired Or just don't feel the part I am free to live and love and learn I'm free to be a cool breeze upon your face Or the slow burn That cuases you to pick up your pace I am free to write from the heart  Write what is real and true Without a veil of secrecy Just to please you I am free to be comfortable And pretty And curvy  And sometimes a little petty I am free to believe even if you disagree I am free to find joy And hope...

Birthright

 My birthright? Is it my right to be born? To be torn from my mother By another To be scorned by my father Who would rather Be free of the conflict? Ill-equipped to handle The candle lit With parental commitment Birthright Is it my stage fright? My right to be terrified By curious eyes Wondering what I have to share And will I dare Cross any lines Or exceed my time Will I be dull and a waste Of their time and taste Birthright Is it my love for twilight When the moonlight Kisses the sun goodnight And the day disappears As we slow down and face our fears We don't have to be so polite Or sunny and bright We can stop the charade That all day we played Birthright Is it my love for my white knight Who came in to rewrite Every red light Of my past With true love that will last He ignites me in the midnight hour As he unites me with his strength and power And reminds me That he is always behind me Birthright Is it my fight or flight mentality Or is it my butt and thighs that make me feel m...

Call Me a Sheep One More Time

 I am pissed At the way you slid in And hissed Ugly words of venom Injecting and dismissing The sanctity of my family With words used like a weapon Used to tear us down Attacking what is most sacred I have found I am really pissed At your hatred And lack of compassion And human decency As you attack me With words filled with insensitivity Cloaked in trickery And you seem to think that Our friendship will somehow be Enough to save us both From this terminal diagnosis You just served up On a silver platter of treachery Thinking an LOL on the side  Would smooth it all away I must say I am pissed That you would dare To call me a name used to mock us By a world too blind to see The term is a blessing Bestowed upon us By the One who created us  A term used to honor us And describe us as His own As He leads us home So I have to say I am pissed That you who I thought was family Is possibly only the enemy Because if you aren't one of us The ones you scorn Then maybe you are only d...

Eclipse Series: Pt. 6 "Rise of Shame"

 Sun: This morning as my day began to break I expected to glimpse you as you slipped away Just like any other day But instead of sliding away  Hiding off in another night Somewhere around the planet You stayed, you remained Shining, not hiding At first my white knight A spotlight beckoning me forward Toward your silver charms  And cloudless wonder No obstruction, no rebuffing  Just you--  My glorious and perfect moon Moon: Oh, my love and my light I just couldn't bear to spend yet another night Just out of reach Reflecting my emptiness onto another sea I needed refueled and refilled By the beauty and purity you instill Each time you shine on me The hope you bring pours out on me And instead of being a pale complexion I become a blossoming reflection Of the strength you carry The power and the hope that you marry Sun: We have danced this dance for far too long My head aches from the repeated cadence of this song I marched over the horizon with confidence Then I s...
