I sit here before you a female of age.
yet do you see me or do
you just see this body in a wheelchair.
I have been through so much in my life
I could teach you.
I still have so much more to give.
You are in my room you talk to me
Yet do you know the real me.
I am right here in front of you.
My body has failed me but my mind is strong.
I still have so much more to give
If you would just.........
open your eyes to the possibilities.
If you would just see me
i am right here in front of you.
am i just another patient
do you know my likes and dislikes?
Do you see me and all the possibilities
that i can do and what i could accomplish in my life.
If you would just listen to my cry
if you would just hear me.
Look at me i am right here in front of you
I am waiting for someone anyone to notice me.

Lonely heart of mine
Why is it that you pine
My heart replys to me
Please set me free
But free you are to roam
Would you like another home
Not another home i seek
But attention that makes me weak
Would you not rather be strong
To carry me along
Yes in a way i would
But the weakness is also good
What is it that you mean
I'm feeling kinda green
Weakness when two hearts collide
Emerging entwining unified
Ah my heart for now i see
Its love you seek that will set you free

The clouds have lifted on this day,
With help from you, in your way,
I feel the weight from off my shoulder,
With the sight of your over the shoulder boulder holder,
It has taken the strain, and some of the pain,
Without any thought of monetary gain,
Your surroundings are fine,
Reminding me of mine,
Ice cream ,coffee, tobacco, and beer,
All of the things I hold so dear,
For half of my life this was all I new,
And reminded once again cos of you,
It does not take much,
the simplest of touch,
A word not spoken
Or a promise not broken,
A call not returned,
A picture not burned,
A glance not replyed,
You know I never lied?,
A truth untold,
30 pieces of silver never sold,
The cloud is not back,I'm on the right track!

Were you left bleeding by defences
strong?,
wounded and bloody knowing not
whats wrong,
did you battle and fight standing
proudly tall?,
to lose in the end, did you stumble
and fall?,
did you do it for love with passion
with life?,
ignoring the trouble, ignoring the
strife,
did you stand against the oncoming
hoard?,
did you face the onslaught, just to fall
on your sword?
in the battle of love, in the battle
of life,
another day gone, another twist of
the knife.
how does it be this way?, another twist
in lifes play, too many endings and too
many starts, too many lost, too many
hearts,
I question it all, why is it so,,,take me
up high just to bring me down low,
a court jester or a circus clown, build
me up,,,,then knock me down,
the circle continues, it follows on, round
and round until we're gone.
Life's fortune, life's way, in the end
life has its say,
you think you decide, you think you
plan,
you're wrong of course, life controls,
because it can,
outside factors influence all, the
greatest plans crumble and fall,
life decides and there's no doubt,
you cannot win, just stumble
about,
Positive, certain, sure,,words we
use,,,in the end,,,we're bound
to lose,
no one wins this game of chance,
life decides,,, what we dance,
you set your sail, and hope and
pray, the course you steer, the
course you stay,
not always so, if the winds
change, thats where you go.

The sorrowful day of 9/11
The day that America was brought together
That is what we are
We are a Nation
Divided but together
Nothing will seperat us
Our Faith
Our Love
Our Compassion
For our nation is the purpose we recognize 9/11
Every year, 9/11 is our day we come together
For we are America
We will not fall
We pray for those in the Towers
Our Faith will keep us as one
In our hearts
We hurt as one
We hope as one
We will always come together for our people
No matter how divided we are
We are always one
We are always together
This nation will not fall
Our nation will only grow stronger
In every way, we will become more united
America is who we are
We stand as one
We fight as one
We will mourn as one
But we will never fall
We are America
The nation divided
But never separated
And will always be united.

On the boat we travel the nile
Floating hiding crocs living in the nile
Sunbathing on the beaches
There thickend skin catching the rays of the sun
Warming there bodies like a oven glove
Nesting on the beach covering their eggs from the blazing sun
Ready for their babies to be born
Their thickend skin ratures from the dinosaurs
Still living on modern earth
Four small feet and long mouth with sharks teeth
Long pointing tail they use to roll you over in the nile
Twisting your body till you drown then they bury you on the bottom of the nile to be stored and then devoured

Somewhere in between
reality and the dream
a place of noisy silence
full of tender violence
and cheerful miseries
where laughter and screams
run hand in hand
through hidden doorways
on the edges of sanity
all the future yesterdays
alive in the dream
creation and destruction
like bitter enemies
fighting within the whole
eternity cascading over
forgotten memories
as life and death dance
with immortal impunity
to a strange mix of pure innocence
and primal ectasy
forever churning and changing
where the souls and the prayers
rise like smoke into infinity

Why would a God create us?, if we never existed before, why would a God make us, limited forever more?, And why, oh why, do we die?
If God created us to be, give us a glimpse, let us see, what could be? and take it away, why oh why, what can you say!

And she looked lovely, but she was not you, and she smiled that nice smile, but not like you, there was not a moment in time, she could walk your line, noone can take your place in my mind, noone can be you, your kind, a unique being, thats what i am seeing, it was always the same,,, even from the start, you found your place deep within my heart. xxxxxxx

Memories tap us on the shoulder
Arriving on the winds of time
Pictures extrapolate our full attention
For a brief moment we become them
Brought to life by that captured second
I absorbed the essence of you.
Love empowers dreams to come true
I breathed the gentle breeze of your love.
We are every age we've ever been
Our past becomes our history
At that age so long ago
You became the constant I needed
I am free because you opened doors
I know acceptance because you validated
Love is no longer a faceless stranger
You are the hero in the cinema of my memories
