My Life


My life is so bizzare
Do others know who they are
Or do they search like me
For a firm reality

I'm not sure who I am
Nor whether I give a damn
But what seems real important
Is to get the lost me sorted

I'm a walking contradiction
Often accused of bitchin
Yet my heart is so profound
While others seem so unsound

It's all a mystery
Yet only I can see
Do I have special perception
Or is my life a wrong direction

"Crying"


          Feeling sad
 
               And

     Not being able to cry

               is

       More painful than 

Feeling very sad and crying a lot


            -Momoko-

I am what I feel


I am what I feel
but do I feel what I am?
reflections are muddled
hazy shadowy dreamscapes
fields of snowy fog
surround; prevent escape
sometimes they protect
hide my eyes
"Monsters still hide in the shadows."
says the child
and she is afraid of the dark
is she my soul?
my curse?
a dream?
torment this lack of answers
sweet torture of the mind
no one can stop the battles
but no one can win the war
blinding irony attacking again
my friend and my hatred
my hatred is my friend
or does that fool me too?

Mask

i look ok
but i am screaming inside
with pain
no asks me if i am all right
or what my life is like

Love

Love is more powerful than hate --
You will never be able to hate me
more than I love you. 

Love is more powerful than fear --
When you are afraid, let my love
make you feel secure. 

Love is more powerful than loneliness --
When you are lonely, look in your heart
and you will find me. 

Love is more powerful than emptiness --
When you fell empty open your heart
and let my love fill it. 

The heart is more powerful than the mind
Think with your heart and together
we will heal the mind. 

You can destroy our relationship, you can
destroy your life, you can destroy me,
But you cannot destroy my love for you -- 

Because it is mine, alone, to give --
And I give it freely, unconditionally,
unselfishly, and Forever. 

So, even though you told me to go away,
My heart has stayed behind to 
protect you. 

May you find peace, my love.

Begging God . . .


Where are my answers when I ask you for them . . .
can't you feel my despair . . .
Where is the strength that you promised me . . .
when I've taken almost all I can bear . . .
Where is your hand with its tender guide . . .
showing me the way to heal . . .
And here is the question I need most to be answered . . .
When will my life be real . . .

The Nightmare I call You


Will you ever know my pain?
The anguish I go through?
Not only did you damage me,
You hurt my family too.
My body wasn't yours to use,
Messed up the mind I knew;
How am I ever going to lose
The Nightmare I call You?
I prayed each night that you would die,
Then I prayed that I'd die too;
I even stopped the asking why
The Nightmare I call You.
All through my life you've stalked me,
Although you never knew;
Elsewhere I looked, but all I'd see
The Nightmare I call You.
No more power will I give you,
For years I did it's true;
I'm becoming whole, I'll stop this now,
The Nightmare I call You.
Your life you've wasted, as I did mine,
But myself I've caught just in time;
I'll wake, I'll heal, no fault is mine,
The Nightmare I call You.

she was


She was a pensive little girl
Painted shadows on the sun
Sometimes she looked up from her reverie,
But not too long.
I think she was afraid;
But she seemed so brave...
She wore her brown hair down,
Maybe to protect the wide amber eyes
set deep below her somber brow...
She was a beautiful little girl
Painted words like no one else
Sometimes she looked out from beneath her fear,
But not too long.
I think she knew,
But she never let on...
She wore her pale face bare,
Never disguising herself, only hiding
behind a quiet face.
She was an angry little girl
Painted pain across her face
Sometimes she let a tear slip from her downward-cast eyes,
But it never fell far.
I think she was afraid;
God, she seemed so brave...
But she wore her fragile heart thin,
Until it finally broke, and she couldn't
keep herself locked up anymore.
She was a beautiful little girl...

There is No God


There is no God,
in a world that is ugly & flawed
But still you pray to Him every night
so He can make everything all right,
But nothing is "all right"
He doesn't hear your prayers,
He doesn't know your fears or cares
God is man-made
and soon He will fade
Fade into the night
Still nothing is "all right"
Still preachers will preach
and follows will follow
Follow
a God that is dead and hollow
Follow
a God that is hollow and dead
Who shall give us our daily bread
God is dead
God is dead
and no one cares
just as long as you say evening prayers.
