Uniquely Natural

Make up is something 
I don't put on my face
I know that its lovely 
but it feels out of place


It is common knowledge that
Women look sexy in heels. 
I can walk the catwalk
but I really hate how it feels


A sweet scent on a woman 
is a desirable trait
but perfume eludes me
I just don't see whats so great


Nail polish is fancy 
but its a waste of good time
They'll just end up chipped
and that's a fashion crime

 I don't worry about 

my waist or my thick thighs 

Its not the width of my hips 

Thats important in my eyes. 

I love shoes and fashion 
but no matter how much I try 
it just isn't me. 
I'm not sure why


I love my face 
for its natural beauty, 
I think my flaws are what
makes my style uniquely me

The Procrastinator & The Muses

I'm calling to the Muses...
I just hope none of you refuses...
I am currently invoking thee...
to please please help me...
I pray that you will help the creative juices flow..
and that you will make this paper grow...

Feel, Look, Want, Know

I just feel so... 
empty 
As I search for 
the strength inside of me

Though I look so...
hard
my insides seem
all tattered and scarred

I want so very...
much
for life to just march on
without fear of deaths touch

But I know so...
well
that where there is light,
so too must darkness dwell

Ode to a Patriarch

A truly good man is hard to find

A great man is harder still    

It takes pride and hope and heart 

And those are hard shoes to fill 

I knew such a man as this
Whose life and love was pure
Family was his greatest joy
On this he was always sure


He was a musician and writer

a mason with an artist's hand

a champion roller skater

and a navy man

You could come to him for willing ears

for jokes, tales or advice

Ask and he could answer
Though you might have to ask it twice


He was a father, husband
brother, friend and more
His memory has shaped us
We are what he lived for


Now we must continue on
As he would want us to
To live and love and learn
Granddaddy We Love You.

Continuing on

In our youth
we dream, hope and thrive
The older we get
The harder it is to survive


With each passing year
We live through failure and loss
Good times are littered with bad
We all have to bare a cross


In moments of sadness
When happiness fades fast
Hold on to the joy
Of times from your past


Let the moments in life
that are glittered with gold
Bring comfort to your heart
that you can hold


Life's not meant to be easy
it is a constant test
We pass and we fail
All we can do is our best


So find your silver lining
in each passing day
Hold on to your hope
while you travel on your way

Rebuttal

The worst thing for one to be

is the one who cried wolf when there were none to see

Your words are as empty as your brain

but despite your doings you are not my bane

You stomp your feet and await response

But I treat you with nonchalance

You are worth too little for me to feel concerned

Because my place here has long been earned

Mark my words, I am hear to stay

But if this is the game you wish to play

Stick around you hapless fool

In the end we will see who is to rule

This is the war that I will win

Because I have virtue despite my sin

I have made mistakes and have regret

and those are things I won't soon forget

But in spite of all, I still have hope in my fate

Even when other hearts fill with hate

I choose to love and care and thrive

and I don't need approval to survive

My family and friends know the truth in my life

So I will not allow petty fools to cause my undue strife

You can continue on your silly quest

to put my sincerity to the test

But know this, that the harder you fight to prove me wrong

the more you drive me to stay strong.

Show and Tell

I will take great pride,

in proving the world wrong...

They say that I am weak,

but I will show how I am strong.

I don't need words,

for everyone to see...

My actions alone,

will make them all believe.

Time will tell,

just you wait...

The world will be the witness

Of our everlasting fate.
