I am independent, stubborn, and very set in my ways My priorities are finally mine With Austin being number one And the love of my life being number 2 I am on disability
I feel that my dreams are finally coming true With my roads certainly leading up And the bottom isn't coming out for once
And once I accepted I didn't need a significant other I found one, and my life's "bonus" is incredible

I CANNOT STAND HYPOCRITES OR INTOLERANCE! I could never change my yesterdays Because they made my todaysMy head is often not 100% clear, but as least I have room to clear it out
My life's motto: To leave 2 marks: one with my pen, and one with my heart

Some poetry by me

"Locked"

And somehow I know
The locked parts inside
I have lost the key
I need to just hide

I don't like it like this
I am so imprisoned'
I can't see the way out
If only I'd listened

The bruises I have
Cover every inch of me
I don't know how to heal
So that I may finally see

And somehow I know
Even with my locked inside
You'll one day find the key
And I'll no longer have to hide

"Save It"

Dry your eyes
The tears aren't real
You can no longer manipulate
The way that I feel

Quiet your voice
You portray the victim
Merely to get sympathy
They don't even know you've tricked them

Hush your thoughts
Sadly, you believe your lies
You brought this upon yourself
And I refuse to sympathize

No more bullshit 'I love yous'
Tired of your constant mind fuck
I chose to simply walk away
And at last, I feel unstuck

"Gentle Hauntings" (named for my blog)

A bared, haunted and broken soul
Evident thru these very pages
Falling down this deep, dark hole
Its feels I've been there for ages

Am not here to merely sugarcoat
And my writings are not to gain pity
It's my therapy to read what I wrote
Not all of it is going to be pretty

Despite being completely frozen inside
I know that blessings are all around
All I have to do is look beside
Where they keys lie so I don't feel bound

I see the piece of my reflection
The past; creeping and daunting
Here is where you will find heartfelt affection
Through these pages of Gentle Hauntings.
