missed !! 08'

Missed.. .
I am sorry .. I missed what you said. I’m listening , please repeat.
missed calls, missed opportunities. Did you say missed? That’s what I thought I heard. Words foretelling months of pre meditated lies. Well only to myself. I missed the part where I was supposed to read between the lines. I missed you. You missed me to. But lucky for you I made a pit stop , cause you almost missed this train . Missed the part where you were supposed to care? I missed it too.
Maybe this was to be missed , because when the sun rises and all has changed, then who will be missed?
I think you missed my point.

Road untraveled .. 08'

Tuesday, February 12, 2008
The long road un-traveled. where does it really bring you. Possibly in circles. Possibly to a dead end. perhaps even to a location that you never imagined to arrive at. Are you wiser because of the decisions you have made or restless because you want to erase that last mark on the page.
Do you believe that everything happens for a reason? While you wait in the corner for your feelings of content to flourish.. think about what you say and what you do..
today is another day where you can let music heal your soul and even though it’s cold outside, have faith in something. Whether or not you care for the warm weather or another rainy day .. it’s all inevitable. Random thoughts? yes. But you follow to the beat to of your own drum .
My un-traveled road led me to more decisions. and ultimately a circle. DO we even go there again? The toll booth collector awaits an answer.. I am still pending this transaction. Perhaps.. these circles we drive in are just constant reminder of an area that we have been here before and there is more to explore.
Eh .. Snow makes you think .. and over think some more..
for now.. I take my cold ass to bed.. until the next road trip.
xoxo

Fractured

Fracture. well maybe just a small part.
But broken none the less.
Flawless .. Never.. But now my once joyful soul is a tad quieter then before.
The hills are no longer alive with the sound of music.
They are ash and soot. I will walk along with my head held high, saying.. It may be painful ,... but it’s worth it.
Knowing what makes me.. Nothing should break me.. But I'm fractured.
My ego has a chip on its shoulder.. History often does repeat itself.
And the DJ said one more time for the play boys in the back..
If it were a hip-hop beat.. It was sampled.
Unfortunately.. I wrote the first track too.
Thoughts of my Sunday kinda love on a Monday just isn't sitting right
Keeping it in the shadows.. Not trying to see the light.
I'm focused .. But what..
It’s impossible.. Or is it just tough..
If the road to hell is paved with good intentions perhaps I'm on a path to purgatory
Because I'm stuck. I need to not give a fuck..
Envying the women who just walk away..
Wondering if it’s real or a front..
God just grant me an ounce of that to smile in the face of despair
Because I need to get it together.. And get the hell up outta here..

Just keep swimming .. (07)

Doing what I gotta do as long as I can do it..
Situations overwhelming .. Just keep swimming... just keep swimming ..
Another interview ... fuck .. I blew it ..
No place in ...because I’m out .. And out has never looked so dark ..

No substance is keeping me above ground.. And I’m not about to accept an award and thank the heavenly father.. But hey .. Good looking out ..
The box where I reside is noisy .. But I shut it out and make it home sweet home..
Feelings on failure pass my door step, but how much of this is really my fault .. I followed most of the rules.. Right .. Well shit I use map quest and we all know how that goes.. ** This street may not exist anymore***
Well it doesn’t .. And the dirt path that I walk barefooted .. is humbling .. And everyone should add some humble in their tea..

Perfect not by far, but I’m trying .. But I guess altruism doesn’t get you room and board..

The little things in life get you by .. Music and comedy and friends and fam..laughter is the cure.. but not the answer..

when you give too much of your self and are only left with lint in your pocket .. will you still be laughing ... ehh not really ..  well .. this is where I’m at .. and you’re welcome to come and visit ..
but for now I go to sleep and start over tomorrow... just keep swimming ... just keep swimming ,...

Come Close (07)

Come closer..
Don’t be shy ..
Besides aren’t I the one who should be running away..
I have seen you many times .. And so often you make me smile ..
So come closer ... Don’t be shy...
We have our days .. where I put you away ..
Pretending you doesn’t exist to get through my days..
But for now .. Come closer and don’t be shy ..
I thought I had perfected you ..Once I was injected by you ..
So come closer and don’t be shy ..
I don’t recall when we first met ..
But you have been there all along ..
Every day and night ... different lyric .. Same song ..
Different beat .. But the rhythms keep me moving ..
So come closer and don’t be shy ..
As a grown woman I have seen you in your fullest force.. And I accept the whirlwind we spin in ..
So come closer and don’t be shy .

Cause LOVE .. U always seem to just keep passing by .. 

Focused ... well Sort of . (07')

A plan .. Yeah I got it.. A theory... sure I copped it ..
But things aren’t always the way they seem.
Happy .. Sure I smile.. Pissed .. And I turn up a lip..
But things aren’t always what that seem.
Again my head hurts.. Too much is getting through today ..
A brief intermission when I joke.. But is it really game time..
It’s like having a cold and eating something tasty,... it tastes like metal ..
Things are really not always how they seem..
When all your rights seem wrong and all your wrongs seem like you should make them right .. I say fuck it ..
if it needs to be deciphered Im out !!
Ehh .. Its bed time..Maybe in the morning things won’t be so foggy ..
God willing



This Morning ..

This morning brings cold, a cold that the weather man forgot to tell me about.

It brings clouds, and a slight chance of anger..

This morning brings a memory that felt to real to shake..

But I did..

This morning brings the reality that I can’t always fix everything .. Even though I try my best ..

This morning brings situations that will take time..

Patience will be a virtue.

This morning will bring a feeling of emptiness that doesn’t want to be filled

Tomorrow morning will bring .. Well who knows.

Sunshine? Fullfillness? I am not sure..

I make my own path in life.. Who and what falls in that path I don’t always get to choose , but the duration if often my decision ..

Rough mornings with no regrets .. None at all .. Simply after shock .. That’s all.

So maybe .. Just maybe .. This morning .. Wasn’t all that bad.


Internal Reflection of 07'

A random reflection of 07' ..
Strength comes from with in a person when they are at their weakest..
Love makes people weaker then most things.. It kills me to see weakness from something that is supposed to breathe life in to a person. But maybe .. Just maybe that’s where the problem lies. Love shouldn’t make or break you.. It should just blend well with you .. It’s not something that you make space for , or even loose space for. It is supposed to just work ..Right ?
To let you believe that I have all the answers would be completely misleading .. It’s merely a suggestion or a direction to get your mind right..
Don’t weep because you miss or because you hurt. Don’t weep because you lack or believe that you have lost. Shit ,.. Don’t even weep because you are mad.
Every great monument has some sort of "back bone" that allows it to stand when even the stormiest weather approaches. No need for a state of emergency. Use who and what you have got. They will one day need you. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Don’t afraid to take it , if offered. Never loose focus, because just when you think it can’t be any worse , it becomes hell .
Home really is where the heart is .. For many .. The last place where you had a twin bed.. But to be with out is slightly humbling.. Tragedy allows you to see where you lye in others paths. If you do not see you’re self along their path .. That’s a good indication to " motivate"
The most important person to be honest with is yourself. Then follow through accordingly.
Karma is as real as you allow it to be.. Often it’s best to stay out of its way. Time heals most wounds.. But not all. Forgive and forget is not for everyone and should be used sparingly in repeat offenders.
Music and comedy will save your soul.. Often more then religion. Alone or with others its time well spent.
Group Time is awesome.. But "me" time is needed.. No need to fear being alone. It’s ok to have a preference. But both are healthy and should be divided up amongst your life. The only mistakes that a lesson can be learned are mostly from your own.
So try something new and give in to things that are not the "norm" for you..
Giving up and giving in are not always the same ..      
When you loose something to gain piece of mind ...it’s a win
When you give in to others , for others .. It could possibly be a loose.
At the end of the day ... What makes you feel safe? With out any doubts??
And lastly .. If you ever wonder.. Don’t.. Just ask .. You may not like the answer you get but curiosity can be checked off your list .. 

The 10th ..

The 10th

So he grabs my hand and says.. I promise.. .. Think about it ..
and 10 times a day I get 143, and 823's on my T900 pager..
and 10 times a day he says I promise .. Think about it..
On the 10th when you come of the plane...  , your mine..
I'll be who they weren't.  I promise ... Think about it..
So I did..
and we did..
So on the 10th for 10 x 10 weeks straight there were flowers and cards
saying Thank you for thinking about it.. I promise I love you
and on the 10th the same would repeat ..
we would take 10 trips to the water..
eat at JOEYS 10 times.. for every special occasion and every anniversary ..
it was the 10th.. it was our promise .. cause we thought about it ..
Almost 10 years deep of back and forth thinking and broken promises
he grabs my hand and says I'm leaving .. but wait for me .. I'll be back ..
Think about it ... I promise..
I ask when will you be home.. he replies the 10th .. I promise either way..
I promise I'll be a better man for you ..
I weep , yet agree.. " please call me before 10 am and before 10 Pm .."
I thought about it .. he promised..
10 days to the 10th he calls.." I'm sorry , I cant ,, "
BUT YOU PROMISED..
So what began on the 10th and what survived on the 10th died on the 10th ..
almost 10 days have passed.. no word.. no promises..
Maybe I do have a lot to think about ... 

Angry (07')

ANGRY

                                                          I am  ANGRY ..

There , ,,I said it ..
Regret it? Never..
I want to scream at the top of my lungs to tell you I am angry ..
Angry because at night when I turn over your still not there..
Angry because you made me smile .. And even more angry cause you consistently make me cry.
Angry because you won’t pick up the phone..
Angry because I have never loved lost and hurt as much as I do with you..
Angry because I am haunted by you and I am terrified that I will never get over this .
Angry because you have disintegrated this bridge to nothing that I can’t even fathom having you here.. Yet,
I am angry cause your not
Angry because your jersey and your draws are still in my closet and it’s all I have ..
Angry because I knew you weren’t coming back for them ..
Angry because some days I would do anything to hear your voice..
Angry cause I know it will end in a fight ..
Mostly I am angry because I am the only one who knows how I feel..
The whole "wow she is really do a great job with getting over this ,"

NO I am just angry ,, and hurt .. ..
But why are you ?

To Sir With Love .. (07')

To sir .. With love

I privately weep in your absence
It hurts, like no one can even imagine.
Any song with soul speaks to me and gives me the keys to let it out...
I would scream.. If I didn’t have to explain my madness.
I would tell you ... if you would pick up the phone.
My pillow is not dry and the party is not loud..
It’s merely a cover to avoid tears ..
I miss you ... I love you .. And I know .. that’s all it will ever be ..

So be safe .. Be well .

Who AM I ?? (07)

Who I am??

Don’t even question that
I am as real as they come.
No labels or maybeline
This is what it is
Small and quiet
But a fight of a lion...
So come test me.
I promise pure fire.
Who is she??
 I know you said it..
But best believe by the end, 
You may just regret it …Who I am..
 You may never be
Strong and independent,
like my mother raised me.
Bullshit and batteries not included,
No interlude or prefix
No side story or remix..
Pure and natural ,
you couldn’t if you tried..
Shit, Even I’d be surprised..
So don’t test me ..
Because who I am, is no lie.

a day late and a dollar short ... ( this is a throw back )

A day late and a dollar short. Who even made that expression up? Why is does his name have to pop up every where I go. Why didn’t he have the eclectic name? So Its been months now and my 4 year fight to the top is now over. I am exhausted , emotionally, physically, and mentally, and really lets not forget financially. I would have given him the world and for the most part I did. I never thought that letting go would have been so easy but I couldn’t take another moment of getting Fucked and take that in any sense of the word. You know the difference when your in the bed and you wanna cry cause you are so there at your peak and this man had brought you there. And then there are times where you are in bed and you wanna cry cause you are with someone you love and you feel like you are getting straight up fucked just for the mere pleasure of it all.

            If someone would have told me four years ago , you are going to fall in love with your best friend. Become part of his family and loose it all with out your say on anything I would have never believed it and probably not have done it . We sat there in a diner and he held my hand and said “ I wanna be the man that these other guys you have dated never were” God did I eat that and my fruit cocktail right up. Why would my best friend lie to me? We decided to think about it over my vacation , which now thinking back seems so long ago, and when I returned I would be his girl. I was so amped during vacation, I was in paradise and I couldn’t wait to come home to the snow and frigid weather to make this official. I returned with my golden tan and I walked in to his job and I melted and I think so did he. God that feeling of peace when you look in someone’s eyes, like nothing else in the world matters, your heart is pounding. You are so there.


            I was so addicted to him and we were each others morning noon and night that was our downfall. I don’t know the fastest way to a man’s heart but I found my self a one way ticket out. We did the most romantic things; we both loved the water and the beach. We ate dinner in nice places, we had our spots, he knew my spots.  The First time he said I love you, I felt it. Now these words don’t mean much to me. All I feel now is my chest being ripped apart. When he told me we were done, I lost it. Don’t ever make a man your planet. I was the sun that shined because he was my constantly rotating planet. Once my planet left orbit what did I have to shine for. Although I should have seen it coming. I was having an affair with his answering machine, and we lived together.
Now that’s neither here nor there.. It’s just a portion of my life that will be filed away from the time that Damian wessler tried to kiss me after hitting my brother and along with the time my mom bought us ducks for Easter. I know its not that minor but ya gotta do what ya gotta do?

I went back to my mom’s house recently and I was helping her in the back yard doing some work for her business. I have been out of my house for over a year now and that back yard has made many transformations. There used to be a deck there. On the deck was our grill and picnic table and my sand box. We would have crazy BBQ’s. The whole family would be there. My cousin would put ice in his milk and call me his girlfriend.. we were like 5. So there was no country bumpkin’s drama. There was a bright orange Hammock in the yard stuck between two trees. I would lay on there for hours and pray I didn’t fall off. Back at the table we would eat burgers and chicken and my grandma’s home made string bean salad, which even now makes my mouth water. I don’t know what she put in it... but it was great. I look back in to the woods past my yard where the shed used to stand where my brother and I accidentally burnt it down while playing in the woods with jimmy and Sibby. The yard is definitely not what it used to be. But it does remind me of s time when things were so simple. I can remember sitting on the railroad ties and talking to Anthony the older hot guy my parents hired to cut our grass. I had the biggest crush in him. I would sit and marvel at his skinny physique and ask him questions like should I hang out with Dave? He was in my youth group and sad enough to say He was the reason I went most times. I thought things were so hard back then and couldn’t wait to become an adult. Then maybe love wouldn’t hurt as much and I wouldn’t have to follow rules and I could do my own thing and have my own place.
           

But like all things in life I was mistaken. I don’t remember the first time I fell in love but I can remember my first real boyfriend. It was simple we hung out we kissed he tried to touch my thigh, I pushed him away. Nothing too much more than that. Then I got my first job and the world of boys opened right before my eyes. Boys from all different backgrounds and ages at my job. And from then I have had a relationship of some kind. In college I tried and pretty much succeeded to leave all the highschol drama club men behind. Although I’m still cool with my first” love” from high school he is still not getting any from me. In college I met this guy who seemed to good to be true. He was tall built, and fine as all hell. For some reason he thought I spoke Spanish and he kicked his game in Spanish and I know he said something like hey mami come here.. but I damn near lost my undies. That little relationship lasted awhile, but I don’t know what happen he got seriously heavy and corny.
                                                                                                                                  
I don’t want to say I am an expert on relationships. I feel I know enough to keep someone happy but that only works and is worth it if they know the same things you do. The hand that life deals you in one you have to just decide which cards to put down and what to pick up next, but remember not to fold.



Trying to find myself... find my way home... find my way out … find my way in … Steping to the side.. Looking inside … then out … still I find myself lost… I have all this love … it runs over and not sure what to do with it... I don’t wanna give it back to where it derives from and I cant really give it else where.. Not yet …
Hmmmp. I need to grow up... I need to stay focused…                                              

And memories haunt me.. Damn now I can’t even turn on the TV. with out seeing my past.. Yeah we were there I think to my self... I walked on glass the whole night praying not to cut my feet... Will he hold me? Does he see we can get along? Are we going through the motions? Will he ever love me? Head up young person … head up … Wipe your tears and head up … Why who what? Was I thinking? Who is that man.. no child boy , infant ,,, Now I’m ranting ,,, Cause I’m hurt and all these days I feel like I have to be string for every one else… So Do I miss him .. And if I do .. do I because I feel like I should or because I really do .. Even sleeping next to him became a cold experience.. and we were in the dead of summer.  I would have given him my heart I was standing there with it in my hands and waiting for him to take it .. I wanted to spoil him … and ALL I wanted in return was hugs and kisses... and shit maybe an occasional foot rub... Nada, nunca… zip zero... I got shit … I was shit... and it was bull shit... So I’m out... and I’m good.. Praying not to let the next one wrap me up and I’ll wait to give my heart to any one... So in the mean time .. head up young person .. its Friday night and your out .. head up
