Let the Love

Let my love
shower you
take you on a journey
lift you up high

let your love
lift my spirits
warm me up
on a cold winters night

let our love
light a flame
burn this place
remove the ice
smooth out the edges

let the love
be free
let the love have its choice
let the love take its course
let the love fill you
let the love
let the love
let the love in the door
just this once
and you may never want to let go

I am respect

Hear Ye!
Hear Ye!

I am something you are not
I am something you may not agree with

I believe in this thing call equality
Not just this semblance of it
same laws for all, nonsense
but a day to day
we are the same
rich, poor, black, white, man woman

I believe in spirituality
Not this shove my religion down your throat
my book is the only right book
but a connection
where you and your higher power
understand each other

I am a feminist
believing in a woman's right
to be equal, to be free

I am one who believes
religion is what you make
between you and that higher power

I am pro-choice
because no one has a right to chose
for anybody else

I am a democrat
because i believe that the government
should help the people

I am a republican
because i believe that hard work
brings you money

I am a college student
willing to learn
and understand
and adapt
and think

I am a woman
I am a liberator
I am a worker
I am a slave
I am a mother
I am a sister
I am a cousin
I am a daughter

I am and can be
can be so many things

more than meets the eye
I am

no one can be
what I am
because no one
thinks like I do

So you are who you are
I respect that

But respect who I am
Today
Tomorrow
and in the next 10 years.

Holiday angel

another holiday
without you

loss isnt the same
as it once was
it hurt but not so much

come hold my hand
come walk with me

if you were here would you care for me

to care for you even as you're gone
to wish for you here
with those little arms

hand in hand
we could've ruled the world
hand in hand
we never would've lost

i smile up
the sky has an angel
i cry up
the sky took my angel

but for the holidays
i hold your hand
in spirit
in dreams
in life's everyday

for i have lost you once
but i am stronger for it
i have suffered once
but i live longer everyday

my heart aches
my eyes cry
but your light shines through
and makes me stronger for what's next.

Breathe life back in

hearts break into two
souls ripping apart
never understood
what awaits in the dark

better to have lost
than to have suffered
better to have lived
than to have lost precious moments

time passes by
never giving the chance
time flashes by
the past never happened

the pain
the sadness
the irony of a situation

to understand the loss
to understand the gain
to value whats around
to cherish what you had

to love someone lost
to hold high above the light
to give them power over your life

intent to live for the better
for sake of them
intent of being better
for sake of sanity

to fight and fight
one self
to overcome tragedy
to overcome obstacles

to sit and let go
let pain inhale
let happiness exhale
breathe life back in
to those dark filled places

never to know
never to understand
why it must be the way it is

keep moving forward
into the darkness
because with discovery
comes light
