Oh Selena
Oh Selena, how I think of you,
it makes me so blue.
You were a wonderful star,
to me, you're never far.
Your smile was bright,
it was like a light.
Oh Selena, you had great singing,
it was as pretty as a ring.
You've really touched my life,
what happened is more painful than a knife,
Oh Selena, I can't pick a favorite song,
it would take too long.
Oh Selena, I also get mad a lot,
I feel myself get hot.
What happened was so absurd,
it was the last thing you deserved.
Oh Selena, I often think of you,
and somehow I know you think of me too.
There once lived a young star,
known by people near and far.
She had a great smile,
nothing about her was vile.
This young star had a terrific voice,
for best star, she was a wonderful choice.
The star was as beautiful as a rose,
I don't see why she would have had foes.
But, she came to an untimely end,
it was like losing a friend.
I, like others, will never forget her,
the young star touched us forever.
Her name...Selena.

This Can't Be Happening (Commission)
This can’t be happening.
It is maddening!
I trusted you. I loved you.
I told you things no one else knew.
I let you into my heart,
And you tore it apart!
I thought I knew you,
But I didn’t have a clue.
You lied to me
About everything!
Now, I stand here, holding this ring,
And I’m losing everything!
Why did you tell me now?
Because of this, I can’t take the vow.
I throw the ring of lies on the ground,
And runaway, never turning around.
I never what to see your lying face again.
I cannot forgive you for this sin.
All my hatred, hurt, loss, and agony come out in my screaming:
“This can’t be
O how the cool winds blow,
And others do not know
That the darkness has entrapped me.
The waking world cannot hear my screams,
But in the world of dreams
They shake the ground.
I feel my feet pound
As I run for my life!
The monsters chase me with their scythes!
O how the fire from their eyes
Sore through the black sky!
The flames scorch my skin.
O why did I not repent for my sin!
They use their red scaly tails to balance.
O how I can feel the radiant stench of their malice!
My breath has become rapid.
My energy has been sapped.
However! I have become consumed with fear!
For they are near!
I turn around.
I have found
That
My truck's out front,
There's money in my wallet,
And yet I choose to stay here.
Why do I put myself through this?
I tell people time after time:
If you can't stand it, get out of there;
If you don't like something, don't do it;
If you want to change, get off your ass and do it.
Why can't I take my own advice?
My family don't really like me,
I'm the black sheep here.
They don't understand me,
Nor do they even try to get to know me.
They care, but it's not enough - why is that?
I wish I could just blend in:
Be more like them,
See things the way they do,
Have a better undrstanding of what I'm supposed to be.
But that's n
I don't want to think,
I don't want to listen,
I don't want to talk.
I want to feel Nature surround me.
Feel the warmth of the sun on my skin,
Feel the cool breeze brushing my hair around,
Feel the dirt between my toes.
I just want to live
And get away from everything.
Everything that dictates my world,
My life,
Even my heart.
I want to experience the joys of life,
Every last one of them,
And just forget all the stress.
I want to breath easier,
And cry less.
See the beauties the world has to show,
And not have to worry.
I want to feel free,
Free of you,
Of them and everyone else.
I just want to be free.

Tell Me What, Let Me Write
Pick up your shoes, pick up your feet.
Pick up your toys, your clothes, and clean the bathroom.
Nag, nag, naggity-nag nag.
Keep talking, mom.
I'm listening.
Keep up the tirade of nags,
I'm not going anywhere.
Don't you pick that book up,
Don't pick that pad of paper and pen up, either.
Stop wasting your time, go to school.
Get a better job, get off your ass and do something, you lazy git.
Stop that writing, it won't get you anywhere.
Think about your life, think about school, for heaven's sake!
Alright, mom.
I'll think about going to school,
I'll think about finding a better job,
And I'll drop the book...
But don't dare t
You've got one chance to be alive.
You're given a thousand chances to shine.
You'll be who you want to be,
So long as you allow yourself to do what you want,
When you want,
However you want,
And without letting anyone demean or push you back.
All of this because you are alive.
Don't worry so much,
Or think so negatively as to why you're here.
You are here because you were meant to be.
Shoot, maybe not to become the next president,
Or an astronaut,
But maybe to be someone's hero,
Someone's role model.
All of this because you are alive.
And that's something that means more,
Because you can make a difference in someone'

Under The Murky Waters
Children of the first sinner,
Dragging his filthy soul at his tail.
He does not dare to look up
Where God's face resides.
Walking the earth; a pack of wild dogs
Scavenging the last pride,
Snatching what is left of mercy.
Down creatures, leeches in the murky waters.
Always on the move to a new pure land,
Hunting down every butterfly wing,
Slaughtering every young green bud.
Children of the massacre, slaves of the cannon
You have your hands down my throat,
Your knife sliding down my spine,
You say: "Keep your smile and greet Humanity"
I swallow the rocks; I wave for my brothers
I fell, I died , they walked over me,
Take away the pain..
Save your heart for me..
I might be a little scared,
But that doesn't mean I won't try.
Give me the time,
To show you what I have to give.
Give me patience,
And I won't let you down.
I've been scared to give it all I have,
That's why I shy away from tender eyes.
I want to show you that I am true,
So, please, just give faith and trust me.
I may seem blank and uncertain on the outside,
But don't let that decieve you.
Let there be no doubt,
That what I feel, feel for you and you only, is genuine.
I can't stop my feelings for you,
I want to show that you are all that I want.
So, please, just give fai
