    you say she's a cousin angie's nothing but a freak
    she has the wierdiest friends
    who talk to me more then her
    she takes my friends even though they hate her
    she has my friend as aboy friend
    and they fight constinly
    i hate her for her mistakes

    but not anymore i'm sick its over
    i hate loving more then needed
    can someone please help me!

    Mess'd + F'd Up Family of 4

    I can't stand you, all of you
    Every day, I try to
    Stay far away; I make sure
    That you can't reach me

    Mom, you're always at work
    Cynically loveless, despising
    Males of the world, not even
    Letting me have them for friends

    I might as well die loving
    Females, would that make
    You happy to not have
    Blue eyed grandchildren?

    They won't have blue eyes!
    I'm asian; they'd always have
    Brown; pure, coffee brown
    Circles, that can see

    Dad... go ahead
    Fly to whatever darn country
    Your church tells you
    The kingdom of heaven is

    The kingdom isn't just for you
    It's for everyone
    And it isn't just a kingdom
    It's your "hope"

    Your church isn't the only church
    There's hundreds, millions
    You won't be the only ones
    Going to heaven

    Go ahead, sulk and die
    Take your f'in pills you "don't believe in"
    Use your f'in "anointing cloth"
    Go ahead, die... pretend, liar

    Bro, shut up... for the last time
    Shut it, you make me sick
    I want to type... let me type
    You're annoying

    So annoying
    Out of all the brothers, why you?
    You suck... I can kick you
    See? One, two

    Out of the families
    Out of these four
    I hope, pray
    That I'm the normal one.

    Xx Too Late xX

    Every time I look at you
    I'm riddled with confusion
    Happy childhood memories
    Were just my own delusions

    I'm never going to understand
    How you could tear my life apart
    You knew what was going to happen
    Yet you went with it from the start

    How do you sleep through the night
    Knowing what you did?
    You did what you thought would be right?
    Just who are you trying to kid?

    I've grown up in many ways
    And I'm finally seeing sense
    I know everything that happened now
    So stop with the pretense

    Do you really think you did nothing wrong?
    Then explain all of my tears!
    Now you want to get to know me?
    Yet you've not bothered for years

    Now I'm flooded with your messages
    It's just one after another
    But it's too late to make it up...
    Your no longer my mother! ©

    True Pride;;
    Condescending;;Heart.

    I guess you could say
    that my love for you has faded
    You took away a piece of my life
    That made my world so jaded

    Silently innocent at first
    A completely different person you've become
    Desperately hoping for pain
    From this hate you've grown so numb

    Shattered to pieces with cracks and lines
    Darling I'd fall right through
    But with these secrets and lies
    I've turned my back on you

    Its hard to say I've forgotten
    All of the laughs we to have shared
    And to ever smile with you again
    I'll never be prepared

    But Still you'll never be replaced
    Just now your dead to me
    Through all of your promises
    I was to blind to see

    I've closed my eyes to you
    Do you feel this world gone cold
    As the stories behind your drunken tales
    Finally unfold

    Despise is not a strong enough word
    To describe my feelings for you
    For I hold my head up high
    Because my pride is true.

    Dirty Little Secret

    Remember our little secret I promised not to tell,
    That if I told my daddy, they’d lock him up in jail,
    As a child I didn’t understand exactly what that meant,
    That if I told my dad your deeds, to prison he’d be sent,
    For murder of my uncle that my innocence was lost,
    To defend his daughter by any means or cost,

    Unspeakable images forever etched in my brain,
    That dirty little secret always driving me insane,
    I never shared that secret but held it close in mind,
    Years came and went and then there came a time,
    Word of your sickness spread through family talk,
    That dirty little secret in my mind did stalk,

    As I lay alone and broken crying in my bed,
    Memories of it haunt me and terrorize my head,
    The innocence from me I know that you did steal
    But now I’ve got a secret that in time will reveal,
    The suffering and the pain from a secret never told,
    Now reverses lives and is bound to come unfold,

    Finally my conscience clear and my mind is free,
    A lump forms in my throat I hope you rest in peace,
    As you lay there in your bed gasping for your breath,
    Praying to a God you never knew and begging him for death,
    My prayers have been answered my secret I did tell,
    And now your punishment is to forever burn in hell

    does this have to be new?

    (if so please omit my entry)
    (i will not be on again soon.. soo i will not be able to check)

    Caged in this dark prison
    my only relief: a rusted blade
    the memories of the beauty and light
    have begun to twist and fade fade

    the cage I'm in is made of your love,
    your hate, your pain, and your lies
    they've trapped me here for my whole life,
    even after i suffer and die

    this murderous pain and suffering
    it is what you've done to my soul
    and its being torn apart piece by piece
    it will never again be whole

    this cage of death is your love
    and this wretched blade is mine
    its the only pain i can cause
    theres a heart beneath those lines

    this razor blade opens the truth
    though it seems as though only my skin
    it breaks through this barren cage
    and shows whats truly within.

    feelings mean nothing in this prison
    i am but an animal caged and forgotten
    only this animal has been torn apart
    and has been left cold and rotten

    this razor cuts away the dead flesh
    and shows whats truly there inside
    but this lovely gift comes with a price
    and emotions whats denied.

    please let me out of this prison
    i have exposed my every thought
    but still I'm locked up in this prison
    even though i am overwrought.

    **to my father. yea i basicly hate him..

    Do you know the meaning of personal?
    This applies to MY LIFE
    I know I'm still your little girl,
    But just knowing you'll back out will suffice
    The boys I know
    The things I hear
    You think it's you job to know
    Everything, don't you see?
    I talk on the phone
    You pretend to be me
    By falling to the floor
    and yelling
    BOYS ARE MY LIFE AND THEY RUINED IT!
    It's not funny anymore
    You interupt my conversations
    With commands that don't make sense
    You want to know who I know
    So when you ask "Who do you like today?"
    And I just get so tense
    Please back out of my life
    As I said before
    That will suffice

    ~To my mom~
