Headlights

It dangles as
the devil shakes the bell -
summoning the weak
to enter into hell...

blinded with the light
of how it would be -
to be done with it all
and quite easily...

to never have to see
the sun rise up again -
to follow that dark tunnel
until you find the end.

Words

Be careful who you trust
not everyone is your friend -
be careful who you believe
don't let just anyone in...

Be careful who you think
will be there for you -
be careful what you share
don't tell them what you do...

and when you've been betrayed
there's nothing left to say -
push them out of your life
and run like hell the other way.

Fog

The slate
is wiped clean -
it didn't mean
anything...

Just a detour
I suppose -
I was stupid
and didn't know...

That people come
just to use you -
take your help
and confuse you...

Get what they can
then they are gone -
you learn your lesson
and you move on.

White Roses

It's the second
Thanksgiving holiday -
since you had
to go away....

and even still
to this day -
I have to catch
my breath and say...

You won't be there
with your dressing -
to share your hug
and your blessing...

You were a gift
yet, always giving -
I wish from my heart
you were still living...

The last thing said
by you and me -
was I love you
such a treasured memory.

Pages

If it isn't one thing
it's a-fucking-nother -
and as I add it up
I have to run for cover...

Wasn't it Thoreau who said
the house owns you -
I'm starting to learn
exactly what he knew...

Maybe I'm confused
on the American dream -
because one more bill
is all I've woke up and seen.

Mirrors

Make sure
not to sugar coat
soured memories...

Hindsight can
make you blind
to reality...

Selective thoughts
can fool your mind
to believe what isn't true...

Remember with
each choice you made
you chose what's best for you.

Dusted

Bye bye beemer
hello hummer -
it's going to be great
by the lake this summer...

changing everything
that I have wanted to -
making my life
all shiny and new...

out with the old
as I throw it all out -
in with the new
that's what it's all about.

Diamonds

I suppose I've written
my own special chapter -
as long as it's followed
with a whole lot of laughter...

because that's what matters
in this sea of life -
to spread some happiness
and eliminate the strife...

Just be a nice person
that can bring people joy -
to share a smile
when someone's in turmoil...

I think I've found
the secret to happy times -
to cherish who I love
and know they are mine.

Take 2

It just happened
I found myself again -
watch out world
the bitch is back within...

My smile just shined
my heart beats a new -
my strut just strutted
no more feeling blue...

I've just beat
whatever held me down -
I've come full circle
the girl is back around.

Motivation

I'll give it my all
that's all I can do -
and trust that all
my dreams will come true...

Every day I awake
I'll look for a way -
to find the meaning
in every day...

and work towards all
the goals I know -
will become a reality
if I get up and go.

Believe

I'm choosing
to believe -
in everything
I will achieve...

I'm choosing
to smile at how -
everything will
work out now...

I'm choosing
to say a prayer -
and thank God above
that he is there.

Wrong Decision

Quit looking
at what is gone
and see what's here...

amazing friends
and experiences
of who I hold dear...

So a few mistakes
are now gone
and they needed to go...

deep inside I saw the truth
and so
I already know...

I didn't need them
and they didn't belong
this was the path all along.

Awake

Hitting the refresh
and moving on -
letting go of all
of what is gone...

Changing everything
and starting new -
what else could
I possibly do...

That's ok
and that's alright -
another day after
another hard night...

but I got this
and I can smile -
no longer living
in any denial.

Delete

You want me out
I'm out -
never again
sweet friend...

won't bother
to talk to you -
I so get it
it is through...

Sorry that
I actually cared -
waste of time
as you're not there...

don't even worry
add to the list -
of a past mistake
that I'm done with.

Highlight Bling

I almost did
and stopped myself -
in a moment of weakness
with my self help...

Sometimes I guess
the memories arise  -
and I remember them
with innocent eyes...

but now I have to
see what is real -
and leave it behind
so I can finally heal.

Pictures

I think I did
but now it's gone -
I woke from a lie
and had to move on...

but I was there
and so was my heart -
until it all went
and fell apart...

I should have known
from the very start -
to never ever
believe in my heart.

Freeways

One year ago
I headed to bed -
without a clue
of what was ahead...

So many things changed
since that day -
I got in my car
and drove away...

head held low
staring at the ground -
what was there
is no longer around...

Many tears shed
my heart torn into -
a part of me died
and a part of me grew.

Whatever

I don't care
at all anymore -
who stays or goes
that's for sure...

I won't put hope
in anyone -
those days of believing
in someone are done...

I don't care
if they all go away -
I will survive
and live anyway...

Like me or don't
stay or leave -
in my own self
will I believe.

Rain

What goes up
must come down -
some people leave
some stick around...

Sometimes life
is a tear filled pain -
sometimes you feel
like dancing in the rain...

when your heart
has been broken into -
pick the pieces up
and add a little glue...

and hold onto
the promise of a new day -
knowing you'll make it through
whatever comes your way.

Success

Now is the time
I'm getting it together -
and making moves
that will last forever...

I'm coming full circle
and moving ahead -
I'm following the path
that I have been led...

So many things
are coming through -
I realize now
there's nothing I can't do.

Karma B

Hilarious
as I watch it unfold -
this entertainment
never gets old...

when they face
what they really are -
and are left
with a really bad scar...

suck it up buttercup
as I said it would -
do unto your neighbor
like you actually should...

and you wouldn't be
in this hot mess -
but I'm laughing out loud
I must confess.

Dime

I am so
so very glad -
I no longer have
what I had...

Someone that
took me down -
I'm glad they are
no longer around...

and I can see
through a new lens -
I was so stupid
way back when...

I let someone
who didn't count -
decide on my worth
and my amount.

Power

There were times
I thought I wouldn't -
there were days
I believed I couldn't...

Yet through it all
I've seen the real deal -
no matter what happens
I will always heal...

Even through the hardest
blows that take me down -
deep inside my soul
I pick myself up off the ground...

and move forward
when I think it's a dead end -
and put the storms behind
it's the only way to win...

and become everything
that God wants me to be -
no matter what happens
I know he's there for me...

The world can be cruel
and just throw me away -
yet I will always rise up
and believe in him each day.

Found

The rain comes down
and washes my past away -
I am so renewed
as I welcome the new day...

no more dealing with
what isn't meant for me -
a new season brings
exciting things to see...

for the first time
in quite a few years -
I am rescued of
what brought me tears...

I have learned to
smile at what needs to be -
and it has led to
freedom to be happy.

Sipping Coffee

I would hate you
but that would hurt me -
taking up my thoughts
and sucking my energy...

So I'll just sit back
and wait for the day -
that you get what's coming
and I smile and say...

I knew it would come
and slap you in the face -
when the karma you deserve
puts you in your place.

Locked

There is no one
who needs to know -
how I feel
or where I go...

I'm learning that
it's my own mind -
that will decide
what is behind...

I'll keep my thoughts
all to myself -
without their views
without their help...

I've closed those doors
and walked away -
Now I have nothing
left to say.

Prayer

I'm asking
for strength
to carry on...

I'm asking
for hope
that is gone...

I'm asking
for belief
in a brighter day...

I'm asking
for stress
to go away.

Circles

Just don't
because I won't -
I have no plan
to ever again...

Put myself
in the way -
of anyone
who ruins my day...

I will hide
and trust in me -
the past is gone
and I am free.

Goals

I'm going
to get it together -
some I will bind
some I will sever...

I'm going
to make myself smile -
it's been long enough
no more denial…

I have to make
this future bright -
and I will try
with all my might.

Mortar

Where you went
just stay there -
don't act like
you somehow care...

Quit thinking
there's anything -
go and take
whatever you bring....

I'll be fine
I'll finally sleep -
I never realized
it could be so deep...

as I rebuild
my aching heart -
never again
will I fall apart.

Great Things

I'm definitely
going to make it -
No more
having to fake it...

Great things
are coming through -
I'm learning
what I must do...

To break away
from the bad -
and escape the
negative that I had...

Embracing all
the shiny new -
as great things
are coming through!

Silence

I'm ok
with the quiet -
I survived
the actual riot...

I learned
and went away -
got on my knees
and learned to pray...

I'm healed
of the pain -
my self-esteem
I can regain...

as I try
to understand why -
I do the things
to make me die.

Back Space

Deleted
out of my life -
I'm not your girl
and not your wife...

I'm so glad
that it is done -
you weren't cool
and I wasn't the one...

who really cared
a thing for you -
I'm thankful
we are through.

Dead

I don't
anymore -
actually no one
for sure...

I did
I suppose -
but that's how
life goes...

Empty
and clear -
of emotions
held dear...

Stone
and a wall -
I have built
sky tall.

Kettle

Yes I do
wish for you -
all the karma
you put me through...

You're not good
in fact you're bad -
I hope you reap
all that I had...

I see your face
and it makes me smile -
for it will come
it might take a while...

Just be prepared
with that heart so cold -
it will come back
and it will be three fold.

Dirt Roads

The journey
long and uphill -
yet as I climb
I've learned to feel...

Not everything
will last forever -
ties will bind
and ties will sever...

I have to believe
in God's plan -
and learn to believe
in who I am...

I have to let go
of the wrong choices -
while listening to
the right voices.

Chapters

I didn't even
want that time -
It's done and
I am fine...

I'm not sure
what happened there -
I no longer have
strength to care...

I guess growth
comes in many ways -
sometimes it takes
your hardest days...

to lead you where
you need to be -
and make decisions
best for me.

September Rides

Do you still ride
horses beneath the sun  -
when life was new
and we had just begun...

To learn all of what
it meant to be alive -
how I would love
to go back and ride...

with you in the front
and me holding tight -
smiling and laughing
such a beautiful sight...

It all started
when I found your ring -
where did the time go
and what did it bring...

So many mistakes
so many heartbreaks -
we didn't know then
how life would take...

the wind from our sails
and our innocent minds -
this evil world sure
changed over time...

I miss those days
and what we used to do -
from deep in my heart
I very much miss you.

Stung

Just scrolling
and it stung like a bee -
I saw the picture
and it should be me...

I let them take
my pride away -
I so regret
that horrible day...

Never again
will I let someone -
help me do things
that can't be undone...

I'll put the blame
all on me -
for blinding myself
to where I couldn't see.

Laying Bricks

Even in my dreams
I hid away -
regretting that I ever
saw the day...

That my decisions
were wrong for me -
maybe it happened
so it will be...

I never again trust
belief in what I see -
as I build the wall
to protect me.

No More

Never ever
ever again -
I'm not your girl
and I'm not your friend..,

Just go
where you already went -
I've wasted too
much time and spent...

more than enough
time on you -
I'm so glad you're gone
I'm through.

Story Book

Just freaking
amazing wow -
glad to see
I found out now...

There really is
no one there -
to believe in
or actually care...

Anything about
your life -
goodbye and
to all a good night.

Parking Spot

No it doesn't
cross the mind -
of anything
that was left behind...

the pizza
or the funny show -
when they decide
it's time to go...

the heels or all
the thoughtful ways -
you tried to give
them better days...

so go on and let
them disappear -
because they
didn't belong here.

Regrets

Yes I've found
that it's true -
some people come along
just to use you...

Then you watch
them tear your life apart -
messing up your mind
and breaking your heart...

While you're left
to pick up the sky high pile -
of everything that's broken
trying to find your smile.

Knife

In the back
just like that -
pushed deep
a surprise attack...

but I got it
out of me -
and forged ahead
the chains are free...

I found it's true
and I see -
it wasn't someone
meant for me...

because someone
who deserves my time -
would never attack
me from behind.

Doorbell

No thanks,
I'll pass -
put your foot on the pedal
and push the gas...

Go really far
like another state -
and don't look back
enjoy your fate...

because you make
me shiver inside -
I'm so glad you're gone
and pushed aside...

you were a fake
and full of lies -
so enjoy your life
and goodbye.

Goodbye

I guess I
just wonder why -
but I see
I didn't die...

why did the road
twist that way -
as I wonder
what did I say...

It seemed so easy
to walk away -
as the color red
fades to grey.

Locked

The door closed
slammed from behind -
I woke up one day
to a new mind...

No longer willing
to be anyone's mat -
I forged ahead
so done with that...

No longer able
to even care -
who had left
or who was there...

I picked myself
up off the floor -
and closed the door
forever more.

Bread Crumbs

I just can't see
the forest for the trees -
I just can't seem
to set myself free...

I can't even face
any more bad news -
or another broken heart
that leaves me with the blues...

I don't understand
what I did anyway -
I've gotten on my knees
God knows I pray...

I know in my heart
I've tried every day -
I just can't see
how I lost my way.

Fingers

Funny that
I actually do -
from my heart
I hate you...

I wish you
the worst luck -
and no I couldn't
give a fuck...

I hope you meet
all your karma too -
you deserve it as
I fucking hate you.

Erase

I won't anymore
because I don't care -
I won't search
trying to find what is there...

I'm so glad
it is all in my past -
I won't try to make
the memories last...

In fact already
they are fading away -
I wish I never went
that very first day.

Patio

Full circle
with a twist -
who knew it would
turn out like this...

the latest lips
that made me come -
are from where
I had first begun...

Now I know
I'll make it through -
with the ones I want
who want me too.

Flight

She ran
ran so far away -
to hide from
the tears of that day...

to empty all
the vain attempts at love -
to realize she
has all she's dreaming of...

to walk away
from voices not to be -
the guidance to
where she will be free.

Wisdom

I knew,
and now I know -
enough to let it
all go...

I was shown
the whole story -
before I had my
fall from glory...

when what is said
and what is done -
are different things
I was the one...

who figured out
and turned away -
I'm so thankful
for that day.

Bling

You hurt me
it won't happen again -
I have the insight
for my heart to win...

My own smile
My shattered self esteem -
when you're gone
you don't mean a thing...

so don't try
to act as though you care -
because when you do
you'll see that I'm not there.

Yep

It's fresh
and it's new -
doing what
I want to do...

Letting go
of what's behind -
taking control
of things this time..

Glad to see
some are here -
glad to know
that this year...

I will be
free and clear -
from those who don't
belong here.

Porch Light

Like the plaque
I ran away -
can't even try
to face that day...

afraid of what
I might see -
afraid sometimes
to just be me...

Hidden like
a quiet mouse -
tucked away
inside my house...

No I can't
come out to play -
once they're gone
leave it that way.

Buried

Whatever
I could not care -
you never were
even there...

Just a user
with a smile -
who I believed
in denial...

Now it's gone
what never was -
I'm going to change
just because...

I won't let trash
rot my head -
I won't hope for
what is dead.

Bible

Will they choose
to give into their sin -
or will they decide
to let the angels win...

Will they act upon
all their fleshly desire -
or will they gamble
on the promised scripted fire...

Will they bow their heads
and seek in prayer -
for deep inside us all
we knew he was there...

or will they choose
to look away with pride -
and turn their back on
the son he sent that died...

to take our place
when death becomes real -
as we stand before our Lord
where every man will kneel.

Locks

When something
is not meant to be -
fate will let you know
so you can be free...

The truth always
somehow makes a way -
to make sure you
are not led astray...

When the door
is closed nice and tight -
you can be assured
it was what was right.

Delete

It's strange that
I don't care anymore -
I'm free from all
of what happened before...

I don't love
or even like who is gone -
I can't believe
I let that all go on...

It makes me sick
when I see their face -
stupid things I did
I can never ever erase.

Success

I try as
I look up the hill -
holding my cup
and trying to fill...

it up so high
it will overflow -
and cleanse my heart
so that I will know...

I tried my best
choosing the right ways -
that led me to
my happiest days.

Holes

The pick
and the ice -
what now is cold
used to be so nice...

Realization
it was dead -
because it knew
where it was lead...

Stares that show
empty eyes -
all the shadows
to despise...

Nothing left
and nothing there -
the chill left it
lifeless and bare.

Gone

Disappeared
but was already gone -
never again
will I keep on...

trying to make
up for those times -
The only choice
is to put it behind.

White Out

After you
see the lie -
let it go
and let it die...

don't let hate
control your heart -
just move on
don't fall apart...

once someone
proves they don't care -
erase the past
and leave them there.

Never

I see the truth
and I see you -
there is no reason
to go back to...

Just wasted life
and wasted time -
I didn't even think
about what was mine...

I never wanted
to be with you -
and it is something
I will never go back to.

Thankful

I picked myself up
after the fall -
and realized that I
actually have it all...

I have everything
that I ever dreamed -
I am now living
what had always seemed...

so out of reach
and not meant for me -
yet, here I am in love
happy and free!

Cleansed

Sometimes
we make mistakes -
you think it's love
then it's too late...

to take back what
you wish you could -
in hindsight
it was never good...

So accept the fact
the bad is gone -
and smile as you
move happily on.

Wave

I didn't want it
so I let it go -
now it's a life
I used to know...

Manifesting
the coming time -
where I am happy
and success is mine...

to make all
my dreams come true -
I had to say goodbye
to what I knew.

Silent

When it's time
to let them go -
cut it off
and let them know...

by your silence
you are gone -
that it is time
to move on...

and look back
when it's all done -
happy because
they weren't the one...

You needed
within your soul -
it was time
to let them go.

Acceptance

I don't have
to be on the road
as rain is pouring down...

I don't have
to face anyone
I don't want to be around...

I'm safe and
I am so secure
as I'm tucked away...

I always used
to dream of this
and wanted this each day...

So now I have
what I knew
would happen at some time...

I can let got
and see what's true
and enjoy this life of mine.

Regrets

I guess the one good thing
I can say...

is that I quietly
walked away...

I didn't force or keep on
with trying...

even though at the time
I was dying...

I kept it all within
myself...

I gave it all my own
self help...

I crossed the bridge
and didn't fall in...

I still don't know
what I was thinking then.

Voicemail

After a while
the constant chipping
leaves you incapable
to feel anything...

As you find
you are only numb
and never available
to feel any pain...

There is no reason
to rise in the morning
or any reason
to try at all...

As you find
you are only existing
because you can't
make the final call.

Ghost

I will never
see you again -
I've accepted
this undeniable end...

I don't want
to even hear your name -
I've left behind
what was insane...

I won't cry
or look to the sky -
I won't pray
or hope I die...

because you tore
my heart into -
I will never again
see you.

Goodbye

I'm letting go
I'm moving on -
I'm accepting
what is long gone...

It hurt my heart
it hurt my mind -
but now I see
it was the time...

To move away
and set it free -
those who weren't
meant to be for me.

Mistakes

I guess they can say what
they want to say
it's probably true...

drag it through the dirt
with a big x mark
target to shoot to...

I wish I'd never even met
anyone of them
and it wasn't true...

the things that happened
and the regretful decisions
that I can't undo.

Yuck

It wasn't me
It was you -
so glad to heaven
it is through...

I don't even know
how I fell -
into that nonsense
and into hell...

I'm not even sure
what I was thinking -
listening to a no one
my self esteem shrinking...

You are nothing
and now I see -
it was you
it wasn't me.

Karma

Well well well
what the freaking hell -
you never can know
and you never can tell...

I guess that karma
really does have a way -
of quietly popping up
and surprising you one day...

Just when you think
those that did you wrong -
will never have to face it
and happily go along...

You see for yourself
after they stabbed you in the back -
they eventually turn around
and get their own knife attack.

Changes

I've been hurt
lost my self esteem -
been a victim of
the nice and the mean...

Been let go
and walked away -
cried many tears
on many a day...

I'm trying now
to change for good -
to do the things
I know I should...

To repair this heart
and right the wrong -
to do what I wish
I had done all along.

Bye

No contact
ever again -
not your family
and not your friend...

learning now
there is no one -
I need in my life
or in my home...

I found the truth
and the way out -
protecting myself
without a doubt...

because they
all lied to you -
so never contact
and be totally through.

It Happened

So very glad that
I weeded the weeds out -
so stupid I see
was me without a doubt...

I can't believe
I lowered myself so low -
now I am amazed at
how far I'm going to go...

with the fluttering wings
and the prayer from above -
I'm done with that darkness
and living what I dreamed of.

The Years

Went through the pictures
So much has changed -
Yet, as I look
Some have remained the same...

Maybe what is gone
needed to go on and go -
and what left with death
was God's perfect choice so...

I have to accept
everything happens for a reason -
some people are for life
and some for just a season...

I can't keep kicking myself
for all the mistakes I've made -
I can't take anything back
with time I supposed they'll fade...

All I can do now
is pursue what is in store -
and learn from all I've lived
letting go of what is no more.

Clicked

Snapped
out of it -
I will get as
good as I can get...

Smart
and moved on -
I'm actually glad
that it is all gone...

Solitude
and relaxing for me -
putting my focus
on where it should be.

Up Hill

If somebody walks
just let them go -
You learned a lesson
and now you know...

They weren't meant
to be there for you -
the season you shared
is officially through...

So onto the next
new lessons to live -
and never look back
they have nothing to give.

Missing You Always

You visited me
last night in my dream -
to eat a hamburger
and you seemed...

quite fine and happy
totally at peace -
I woke from the dream
with complete ease...

but I thought of you
and how I miss your smile -
the day you left
was the hardest in a while...

you made the impression
that will never fade -
the day that you died
was one of my worst days.

Photographs

So I sit and wonder
what now -
will I survive happily
some how?

Is the road I've followed
good for me -
Do I have an ever after
that is happy?

Did I do the right thing
once again -
how will this crazy story
ever end?

Will I smile and realize
one day -
everything had to happen
this way.

Peaceful

It's quiet,
just the smooth jazz -
I'm learning
to trust what I have...

I remember
the goals from then -
as I apply
putting my life to them...

Cutting ties
with things that held me down -
allowing only positive
to be what is around.

Saved

The power
that heals -

sent angels
to reveal -

how stupid
I've been -

and lost
in complete sin -

then I was
saved -

from those
horrible days.

Thank you God.

Bye Haters

There is
a lot of good
in this cruel sad world...

and I want
to be the shining
good girl...

I'm making
a turning
point finally...

I will
now only
believe in me.

Freedom

What it is that
I'm failing to see -
is that I am
completely free...

I don't have to deal
with anyone -
I can spend my days
just having fun...

I don't have to drive
in concrete hell -
I don't have to listen
to anyone tell...

me what I
should think or do -
out with the old
and onto the new!!

Goals

It's gone
because I let it go...

I've learned
and only I can know...

I've felt
pain and happiness...

I've made
my own type of mess...

I've decided
to start fresh and new...

I'm dedicated
to do all I can do.

Small Seats

Dear God
I'm going to
Florida today...

Thank God
I get to
get away...

Refresh
and cleanse
and leave it behind...

Focus
on myself
and try to be kind...

To my
self esteem
that is ripped away...

Dear God
let me find it
and show me the way.

Answered Prayers

Just be quiet
disappear -
You'll look back
in about a year...

and see how stupid
you have been -
and feel so silly
to remember when...

you almost threw it
all away -
you'll be glad for this
some day.

Will

You will
laugh again...

You will
be glad for the end...

You will
move on with life...

You will
love being the wife...

You will
feel healthy one day...

You will
be glad you walked away.

Awake

Hated and
manipulated -
verbally abused
more than one time...

Life vest
strapped -
to my chest
to save this life of mine...

Lied to
deceived -
eyes of hate
stabbed from behind...

Truth shines
brightly -
awoken to reality
I'm awake this time.

Tremble

Nothing -
Exactly what
you're going to do...

Never -
look back
it really wasn't you...

Shaking -
I see
what is really true.

Healing

You will look back
and see for sure -
this was what you needed
to endure...

It's for the best
as all things change -
and really it doesn't
mean anything...

Except it is
the best for you -
out with the old
and onto the new.

Deleted

I deleted anything
to do with you -
the pictures, emails
what we went through...

I closed it all
and shut it away -
it's gone and now
it's a brand new day...

You weren't good
at all for me -
you were about yourself
and now I see...

how you blamed it
all on my mind -
but you were the one
that was the angry kind.

Left

I don't know
what I did -
Stupid decisions
lived...

Saw the numbers
and wasted smiles -
living alone
and in denial...

I guess I'll go
and get away -
maybe that
is where I'll stay.

Next

Saw for myself
the outed traitor -
the one who was
the instigator...

the one who said
it's only change -
the one who is
what is deranged...

the one I hope
I never see again -
this chapter has
reached the end.
