she sits in the shadows
cig in her hand.
she sits in the shadows
nothing against her skin.
she sits in the shadows
wondering what words to say.
she sits in the shadows
wanting to take the pain away.
she sits in the shadows
the light now fading from her back.
she sits in the shadows
and waits …

She is a warrior
she wears her scars and victories
proudly from head to toe.
She maybe female and appear
fragile at times, but don’t let
that deceive you.

She will fight until the end of time.
Her cause might confuse you, but it
is etched forever in her heart.

She is a warrior, survivor of her cause
and that is why she fights for all
the little girls who can’t fight back right now.

Most think of the physical by whatever
object is used to make sure someone
doesn’t leave for a time or forever
They make you feel weak, powerless, its
cold, dark and dirty, no windows, no sounds

You have restraints and physically
nothing is holding you to one place,
you can move about, but the fear
they have ingrained in leaves you paralyzed
afraid of the consequences

People also restrict what they think
you are capable of achieving, having, being
they control you and you might even believe
them at times, because of self-doubt

The last 2 sometimes are the worse

At least with the physical
you know who is keeping you there
the others you don’t know who your
enemy might be at any given moment
and their weapon is more painful
then the bruises and whelps.

Is it good or evil
Right or wrong
Yes or no
Black, white or polka dotted
Do I fight or submit
Says its wrong when I know I’m right
Tell them NO, but Yes comes out of my mouth first
Know it’s what’s inside, not the pkg its wrapped in that counts
Do I use whatever weapon I can find to get what I need
to be heard
My Battle is internal
Will I win or will I
lose EVERYTHING IN THE FIGHT!

I am darkness from head to toe.
Even the sky turns grey around me.
I hide my face so no one will see
the scars that were left behind on me.
They say the innocent should not be punished.
But I knew what I was doing when
I pulled the trigger.
You will hurt her no more
I told him as shock spread
across his face.
I am darkness from head to toe
so, she will be the light to soar above
filled with laughter and love,
as only a child should know.

People say it’s the universal language and
knows no boundaries.

It can make you happy, sad, reflect, get you
thinking or just get you on your feet doing
your thing, like no one is watching or
listening-we are not all-American Idol material.

Whatever music it is, it speaks to your soul.

I see the beauty in your soul, others see what they want.
You hide so you will not be hunted, I keep your secret
locked safely in my heart, you have the only key.

You are not evil; you are just misunderstood because your
from a different world that people refuse to accept exists.

While most are intrigued by my markings, they are more
then just ink, they are the language of your world.

They explain what I am
which is yours for eternity
You are so misunderstood MY MATE!

I was created to aid those who said they wanted to
help humanity, but they lied and wanted to dominate
it with absolute power.

I was a machine programmed to do as I was told,
no emotions to think about my actions.
My maker learned they had been wrong and
tried to fix it, some was too extensive, most died trying,
but some did succeed.

I was out patrolling when a major power grid
had been destroyed, I seemed to be the only one
still functioning, everyone else lay in a pile
of metal and wires.

I noticed as I walked amongst the debris of this building
pictures littered the ground and then I found her,
she looked like a broken rag doll.

I picked her up gently as any man would and
sheltered her, my maker knew I would protector
her with my life, because she was his daughter.

I was a machine, a man and now her future.

A lone rose among thorns
it’s blossomed from a bud to now.
But no one has been able to touch it,
feel the petals against their skin or
smell its sweet scent.

The pain has been too great when
anyone has attempted to get too close to it.
The more they try, what some might call
blood red has taken on its hue.
And it falls deeper in the thorns.

A lone rose remains among the thorns
it will die, unless her one true lover comes
back to this place.

You haunt the shadows of my mind.
Memories of yester-years.
Dreams once bright burn no more.
Laughter now takes on an erie silence.
Everything around me has grown dark.
Warmth has turned to bitter cold.
You haunt the shadows of my mind,
soon I will be but a memory.
