Wild hair, breezy air
even my thoughts can take me there.
seagulls cry, time flys by
in the distance, I hear the tide.
Long, crazy grass
glittering sea glass.
Notes pour from meAs my fingers glide along the stringsA smile grows upon my faceAs my guitar begins to singBlocking out the noise of the worldI am one with the musicCreating a harmonious signal
Every day, my life passes by.
With sorrow and happiness.
With depression and exhilaraion.
But every day I get by,
by going to my own privte getaway.
The place whre I am always happy
when I'm down.
When I'm on the diamond
I feel at home
When I'm on the diamond
It's my own little dome.
When I'm on the diamond
I become very calm
When I'm on the diamond
I need no balm.
Grab your tea
Snuggle in tight
Bring forth the Tributes.
Sail the sea
Take flight
Push back reality.
Turn back the cover
The bell rings,
Last first day of school,
The smell of sweat already,
The papers from teachers that all say the same,
The nasty school lunch,
The friends you have till the end,
Senior year,
When I go through the drive thru,
I always see you there
When I roll down the window,

Strong
Independent
Breaking the air with the strength of a feather
There can’t be anything better
Than an owl in its prim
Wise
Wonderful
Beauty beyond compare
For every mistake theirs a new beginning.
For every today theirs a better tomorrow to be wining.
Every step will make you closer avoid being farther.
Looking forward can make that change happen.
A smile on my friend's silly face,
A warm, happy hug, an embrace
A child's laughter and joy,
And their play with a toy.
A simple meal and a chair,
A kind word, not a stare,
I met a man who knew more than I did
and for those reasons,
He gave me wisdom
to last me till my hair turns grey
and when my skin wouldn't be soft anymore.
He gave me a heart
A dash of joy,
A pinch of smile,
Remove all bad memories,
Throwing away things all vile...
Stir in the fun,
Chop up and mix in every great time,
Pour into soul and body,
Stop being poor
How?
Magic?
You’re assuming we got here because we’re
Lazy
Unemployed
Uneducated
Well news flash we’re not

Single mothers on welfare
My horse is my world
There are only three barrels
Three chances to get disqualified
In those 18 seconds your life could change
You feel your hearts combine
And you know your gunna give it your all
The Jazz of My Life is the reason I'm up late
My baby is a chocolate milkshake
On a hot , August day
I'm proud of who I am to be
Mostly because I speak my mind
But mostly because I am me.
Some people say I'm too soft spoken
I just don't have much to say really
Acceptance
It is neither a word nor a phrase
It shouldn’t be earned but given
It should be an emotion
Felt through the eyes of non believers
I am accepted for who I am
Mama’s on the couch, leaning against Daddy
Heads tossed back, laughter mingling together
My brothers arguing good naturedly
My sister curled up away from me, sleeping
These are a few of my favorite things
