Circles

I wish the light would change
And this a.c. would work
Wish I wasn't riding in the car
With this silly little jerk

Touching my dials
and humming some songs
I wanna slap his head
But that would be wrong

Pretending not to hear me
I know he does
And to think he does this
Just because

His fault my fault
I laugh he thinks he's right
I ride silent
Cause I don't wanna fight

In circles I'm going
Not only physically but mentally
It's killing me
I pull over reach for the brake
Grab his hand by mistake
Eye to Eye
We are lost
Not only physically but emotionally
I love him and he loves me

I sit back with a sigh
As I silently wipe my eye
How much longer can we try
How much longer do we deny

WO-man

Why can't a woman be
What a man is
When part of her
Is what made he

But in no way
He remembers that
He is superior
And that is fact

He says "Raise my kids
Wash my clothes
Cook my food
And I'll have control"

Do as I say
Not as I do
Watch your mouth
And I'll be good to you

Take your money
Lie
And Leave
You don't believe

In reverse
You get what you give
You cry
Not I

Same difference
I say yes
You say no
I'm a hoe

Treat me like shit
It's Okay
I strike back
I must be having a bad day

In reverse
The game is the same
Sometimes you lose
Sometimese you win
Sometimes you get the chance
To try it all again

Denial

Right turn
Left signal
I’m in the wrong lane
Playing the same games
That had me confused
Used
And abused
Trusting the wrong dude
Has made a fool
Cause not once
But twice
I believed him
He was nice.
Told me things
Bought me rings
Beautiful rocks
Full of bling
I had to learn
It wasn’t easy
Please believe me
I tried
I cried
Took my spirit
Stole my pride
I died

Ocean Breeze

I feel it on my skin
Blowing through my hair
It takes me there

I raise my arms high
In my skirt theres a twirl
Not 1 care in the world

I kick the sand with my feet
I sway to the beat
I'm not bothered by the heat

I relax and sip lemonade
I'm outta the sun I'm in the shade
The gentle wind it turns my page

Oooh I shiver
Where's my cover?
Where's my lover?

Not spoken of but he's here
I feel a tickle behind my ear
As he whispers "I'm not going NO where!"

He smiles licks his lips and proceeds
To give me exactly what he thinks I need
Without a care in the world or a warning to heed
We made love in the ocean breeze

The Words In Between

He came to me
Wasn’t sure what he needed
But he succeeded
In getting me to drop my guard
It wasn’t hard
It was worth it
His words were perfect
Almost too per- but I’m not lyin
This man was tryin
His mission clear as day
He wants it he has to pay
Not money but attention
Not to mention
That this game he spittin
Has been written
Line for line
We could go
I already know
So does he
Mind to mind
He is me
It wasn’t in the physical we connected
It was the words we respected
Didn’t imagine..it just happened
It was real
Still

Mirror

I can be seen BUT NOT HEARD
I'm moving my lips BUT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE WORDS
You stop and stare YET YOU CAN'T COMPREHEND
So I stop and start over ONLY TO FAIL AGAIN
Should I give up TRYING
Live a lie AND
Be what you want me TO BE
I take a glance in the mirror AND DON'T SEE ME
Hand to my mouth SHE DOES THE SAME
Who is this woman? WHAT IS THIS GAME?
Steal my life TAKE MY NAME
Runaway with all my FORTUNE AND FAME
I look away cause the CRUELNESS IS UNREAL
This impostor can't possibly KNOW HOW I FEEL
Yet she looks the part AND PLAYS THE ROLE
She has stolen my identity BUT NOT MY SOUL
I remember this and smile CAUSE IT'S A FACT
I glance in the mirror and I KNOW THE FACE THAT LOOKS BACK

There can only be 1 me.

~Dreams~

Even in my dreams Im writing
Its exciting
Inviting
Taking my mind to a place my body has never been
I long for sleep so I can go there again
I dont even have a pen but the feelings so great
Why cant I have these feelings when I am awakeI debate
All I have to do is close my eyes
In my dreams there are no lies
I could prolly win the Nobel Prize
If I triedWhy is it that when I wake up I forget
Is it not meant to stick
Seems like I got myself into some REAL shit
Those lines that were so right
With a flow that was so tight
Recite em I just might
Are totally lost within the moonlight
Damn.
