Live....Baby Live.



So they always thought me crazy
When I was just a kid
They always said it couldn't be done
No matter what I did.  

I packed my bags at eighteen
And I thought I'd leave for sure
When I turned and walked away
never went home no more.

And my family stopped coming to see me
In the city that I lived 
And I struggled on like any college kid
Trying to keep shelter o'er my head....

And they never asked for nothing...
And ya know, neither did I
But when my old man had failing health,
I felt like it was time. 

Time to make amends
Ask what went wrong,
wonder aloud
Why I never belonged.  

And I tried not to judge them, 
but to just see
The parts where they did right 
Raisin our family. 

 And I'm trying hard to put it behind me
I'm trying not to see the fights
I'm trying hard to move on
Trying to do what's right.

 And it's painful to look passed
What was done in the past.
And it's hard to not hold a grudge,
When the memories are what last.

 And if there's a God he'll help me
Help me to forgive, 
And then I can get on with my life...
And live.... Baby live.  

 And there are times... 
I have to face the battle from within
There are times.... 
When I'm as mad as sin...

 And there are times....
When I can't bare the rocky road...
And I have to talk myself through it....
Through it....

And I'm trying hard to put it behind me
I'm trying not to see the fights
I'm trying hard to move on
Trying to do what's right.

 And it's painful to look passed
What was done in the past.
And it's hard to not hold a grudge,
When the memories are what last.

 And if there's a God he'll help me
Help me to forgive, 
And then I can get on with my life...
And live.... Baby live.

Facing Change by Changing Face

She decided she needed something different She decided to change something for real She always had hated her earlobes Her lips would never "seal the deal". Her tummy was now flabby And her arms now jiggled when she walked She wanted some quick fix that reflected a "new" girl Instead of the girl she got.  So she went to the cosmopolitan city And checked in at the spa And she had her looks evaluated They even checked out her ta ta's!  And when they finished up the exam An estimate they had comprised They told her to come back again,  Once she had gotten over her surprise.... Because the list was now quite long Longer than she suspected once before And she wondered how she had not known To much of her bitter horror! She went home and thought about it And cried a little too-  How could the people at the spa Let her leave with so much left to do?  Then she drove back to the city With all the money she had saved,  And asked for botox, l

It Wasn't S'posed To

This wasn't how the bed  Was supposed to be made You out the door Bills left unpaid It wasn't s'pose to.  Oh It wasn't s'pose to.   At my door you'd knock, I gave you the key You were supposed  to marry me! Oh You were s'pose to, You were s'posed to! I told you there was Baby on the way That was somethin I made up that day! But my lies were all found out My girlfriends are gone How dare they tell you My mind is long gone. Oh just to hold to you Oh just to hold to you This wasn't how the bed Was supposed to be made You out the door, bills left unpaid It wasn't s'pose to.  Oh ..It wasn't s'pose to.   Oh,  but what's a girl to do? Without you?  But what's a girl to do? Without you?

Only Peaceful Days

No more swallowing my anger To be loved by you No more biting my tongue  To be supported by just a few. I tire of laying down hopelessly Waiting for the pain to go away I feel a different kind of pain Some people would say.  They say I'm over sensitive That explains what I feel They say I'm too serious,  That I'm spinning the roulette wheel.  They fail to recognize-The hate they spin With their cackling laughs I can hear what they say Behind my back, the wistful cracks, about my chubbiness, or the brains that I lack. And they do it to everyone Not just to me, they're heartless...deceiving, make you trust them, lie to your face, only to enthuse them..., What made them so mean? And I try to outrun them I try to leave But I have to spend holidays  they're my family. And I'm forced to spend it  If I want to be close to my mother And I feel so alone, even among all the others. And I lay in bed at night Trying to decide what to do- take all the pills in the bottle Or
