I was not born to impress you am not here to stroke your ego am I going to strip you and expose you and when I'm done, you will be staring at your own naked truth

Listen to me, there is freedom in love. Every day should feel like Independence Day

Love is thicker than blood, its blind to color, it is its own culture

My days have turned into struggles My weeks into fights My months into battles My years, a wait’s becoming a lifetime of desperation lifetime of sorrow lifetime of emptiness lifeless time timeless life

My life has become like a bus, and I'm just watching it pass by

Puppeteer Just because you tell me I'm beautiful And that I'm worth your while You expect me to feel like the luckiest girl in the worlds I should lower my head, talk less, smile more, be more polite, bend to your will, kiss your feet? I will snap those strings Strap on my six inch heels will be thunder and lightning and fire and every nightmare you are afraid of will be everything you can't handle When you wake up choking on your Kool-Aid of lies, you will not forget the fierce untamable tempestuous wave that swept you away

ROCK STATE OF MIND The lights go out Darkness takes over my mind can see only the unreal… The sound of the piano Whispers in my ears Provoking the sea of tears Breaking down the strings Attaching me to my fears The violin wakens the dreams Creating the will Detaching from the ground Lifting me unto be one with the dark clouds To feel the storm whelming up inside The strings of the guitar cinches The cords binding me to you Luring me to the ends of the galaxies Gluing me to an inaccessible time Where time stands still And pain continuously spills But your voice slithers in between Rising with each beat Stretching out It's wings Sheltering me from the wind Fighting my wars Risking it all Silence….. The pulsation of the drums Join with the beats of my heart Stating their case in sync Awakening me to your presence And in a flash of lightning Heaven and earth become one The piano severing the strings to my fears The violin forging a storm The guitar freezing time Your voice fighting my wars The drums breathing life into me That’s rock for Bethe rock state of mind

Silence thoughts... Let me get lost in this kiss right now; In the morning you will convince me I shivered because of the cold. Let my head whirl and spin for a little while longer; When I wake, we will blame it on that sweet wine. Let my heart flutter and dance just for a moment; Tomorrow, I will not forget the beat that my heart skipped belonged to my favorite song that was on. Let me slip to fall deep in his eyes; When the sun rises, and we remember the moon reflected in that stare, I'll be fine.
