until you really try

until you really try
i will no longer cry
no more tears lost
lines i will not cross
to make amends
in order to pretend
that we understand one another
even though we come from the same mother
because you don't care
although you may swear
that you love me
i must disagree
based on your actions
your constant distractions
all your talk i do not buy
until you really try

coming soon to a bumper near you

STOP THE DRAMA!

Vote Obama!

it's a new life

a new car

a new address

a new job



april is my new favorite month

the empty stars

times like this words fail
all the pain cannot be detailed

the world looks different outside
the laws of nature by which we must abide

tears continue to fall
time slows to a crawl

the pain cuts like a knife
measuring the meaning of a life

unanswerable questions arise
when someone loved dies
