You ask me, why I flinch,
At every sudden movement,
That I don't see coming.
Like I expect to be hit.
It's  a leftover reaction,
like A residual tic.
A predetermined mechanism Physically attempting to defend My physical self.
For at the hands of another
My body has been beaten,
been broken been battered.

Stand alone girl,
You are making it better, even alone, those arms will never hold you again, neither you will see their smile nor their shadows.

That one who smiled at you on your triumph, yes he is smiling like an evil, then this one who cheers for you might not be cheering,
But you still believe, cause you're ingenuous.

Stand alone before all around you tries to drag you down,
Cause one's victory isn't a beautiful story for others.

They were bold and they wrote and they ate sheep but not goats,
And they lived and they laughed,
And they kicked evils ass!

They were strong,
They were brave,
They weren't anyone's slave,
And they are who I'm made from!

Blood so very rich,
That royalty is their niche,
Commanders of Godly armies,
And fighters of Jesus Christ!

The sun went over the moon and the sea kissed the sky,
He left her for good, for once and for all. but his love never truly died,

She journeyed through hell, alone and condemned,
It was harder to leave, than it was harder to friend,

And the Heavens all waited for a miracle to start,
And the angels all planted, new seeds in their hearts,

The future was not something they owned,
Only Jesus Himself,
Could light their way home.

He claimed to be a soldier of fortune,
But who's fortune did he defend?
Was he a member of God's heavenly army?
Or was he fooling himself to no end?

He was telling the truth,
Of that she was certain,
He knew details and specifics,
He had lifted the curtain,

Mother was red, Father was green,
Brother was the big bright light, that filled in between,

She was the spectrum, of various degrees,
This hue or that, but never quite free,
 
Slightly warm, Super cold,
Not quite bright enough,
 
Never completely her own.

Little Sister honey, 
My sweet, hurting Sis,
Let me pick you up,
Let me heal you with a kiss,

Mi Hermana baby,
I hate to see you cry,
Come rest your head on my shoulder,
Until your eyes are dry,

It's as though our lives were not real. Like waiting for love in vain, every breath taken, just a movement of the eye behind a lid. And even then, who's eye is the beholder? You? I? Christ? So many versions of the truth, reality splits into our own personalities, but only one Truth matters. What are we then? But reflections of the Godheads imagination? Just a bad dream that's about to be awakened with a splash of cold water, to a grimacing face asleep...

I am the Elder Tree
No longer growing.
I am consumed by insects, mitochondria, fungi,
The lichens and the moss.

I am the Elder Tree
Whose branches held aloft
Your childhood fantasies of mighty ships
Plowing through the green leaves of pirate seas.

The looking Glass and the broken window...
 
Both reflections sites unseen what shows what is hidden I am somewhere in between.
 Yes we share a face and a heart these are one of the same but we each are different twins called by the same name.
Two sides of one whole you may only see one distinctly differing masks we use for a world unforgiving it's here we plot and we wait to one day break free.

Sing along, when the songs begin
At the funeral of
       your kin
You all grieve now
       its to late
Never to put a
dime in the
collection plate
This the ending of
           it all
    Never allow.              another
      tear to fall
I finaly had anuff
Thinking its only             bluff
  I have Nothing          left to say
No more pain now it all goes.              away

     Last thing remebered was Sitting on edge of         my bed
Raise the glock up to my head
 Empty out some.         hot lead
Sinking feeling in         my guts
Think to myself        im going nuts
  Just a single bullet inside the               gun
This is were i had         some fun
Spin the cylder real dam quick
Anuff tension to make me sick
What a rush hear            click
Then i spin the.      cylinder again
This time aloud             boom
A deafing noise of impending doom
Flash of light how darkness broke
From the heat of the glock raises             smoke
Lingering feeling of death is gloom
       Blood now splattered in my.           room
Nothing left this        end is real
    bullet fired causes blood to.             spill
every things gone
    pitch black
  squeezed the trigger i fell back
My blood flowing gurgling cant             even breath
Now from flesh the spirit will                 leave
This was my final
           day
Last time they will
            win
Nothing left but             this sin
Who realy cares how much it cost
They win another time i lost
Just go ahead.            and cry
Tell untruths of how you much.            you care
But not one time.        while alive
Were you ever                 there
lets see all tears.          you cry
And talk about how much youll     miss this guy
And understand.       its all a act
Never gave a dam and thats a fact
Like there was ever another choice to choose

My obituary boldy
   printed in the.               news
Tells the story of a man born to.                lose
