I'd like to give...a quiet shout
To all my friends...'been down and out
Life gets better...there's no doubt
I pray that you'll...get through
I'd like to give...a voiceless say
To all my friends...'been feeling gray
Must try to start...a brand new day
There's so much more...to do
I'd like to ring...a cordless line
Hope you've all...'been feeling fine
To all our friends...yours and mine
I've sent a prayer...for you
I'd like to write...a simple poem
By chance your ill...'been sick at home
There's others...you are not alone
There were others that...I knew
I'd like to hum...to those with wings
To those who've passed...'been given wings
I've felt your pain...and it still stings
I cried the day...you flew
Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again
Get instant relief, don't care what's round the next bend
Breathing is a great feeling
We feel immediate healing
Makes us get all giggly, don't need to pretend
In pursuit of happiness, you follow
persuasive shadows tethered to the night.
And fall into a pit of depression,
plunged into darkness where there is no light.
Seductive smiles draw you into the dark,
where resistance is slowly stripped away.
And your innocence is stolen by lies,
introducing you to the games fools play.
Your pain is numbed by drugs and alcohol,
under whose tutelage your heart forgets.
And your fragile heart's constantly breaking;
shattering into a thousand regrets.
Denial obscures your reality;
while leaving you puzzled and feeling blue.
And you don't know why your life feels empty,
for you're blind to what's happening to you.
It's midnight, listen
the last note of my song
wondering when someone
would listen it with me
What I feel now
I do not know
give my hand to the shadow
maybe she tells me something
Life why I have you
what I can give to you
I'm just another number
closing the same light
Tomorrow is a new day again
I was feeling blue tonight.
Remembering the pain
of you leaving again.
When our children blamed me.
Blue is my favourite colour.
Light blue especially. Reminding
me of clear summer skies.
And warm goodbyes.
Navy blue of night, stars bright.
Moon reflected on still water.
Skinny dips and deep kisses
Before I became your Mrs.
Music can be blue too.
To match my mood.
When I think of you, or try
not to...as the case may be.
Black and blue, my battered heart.
Right from the start.
No Valentine for me.
I'm done with love you see.
I’m just another girl
With a life to lose
I’m just another girl
To be raped and masterbated to
I’m just another girl
To be used
I’m just another girl
To bruise to keep yourself amused
I’m just another girl
in the news
I’m just another girl
Born into torture and abuse
I’m just another girl
To be removed
I’m just another girl
Who’s food on your daily menu
I’m just another girl
You can screw
I just another girl
Nothing new
I’m just another girl
Feeling blue
I’m just another girl
Who’s already died by the hands of you
Do as you will
Do as you may
Tear me open some more, why don’t you, but just you wait
‘Cause one day, i’ll escape
And I’ll leave this place,
i’ll live by what i say
And when i do, i’ll become a painter
Using only the colour red
But i’ll keep you alive
‘cause you’re not useful if you’re dead
Just like me on the bed...
Feeling Blue
My arms feel so empty, my heart void of soul.
I have tears aplenty, but alas they will not roll.
My body aches through bone and skin to every living pore.
What must be done to fix the pain and sorrow I abore.
I stand here so lonesome, I quietly contemplate.
What holds my fears so tightly, will they dissipate.
My eyes look in the mirror, my foot falls to the floor.
My body carries out the drill so I live a little more.
My mind is quick to figure, my face quick to fake.
My lungs take in the air I breathe, my heart won’t stop to brake.
I know these are all feelings, simple but very true.
I write these words for today because I feel so blue.
in the fervour of my sweat
sheets drenched
i wake to the toxic bellow of my own voice
in the torment of my own thoughts
in the complexity of my simple life
i lay eyes swollen wide open
in the measure of hours set aside for sleep
overwhelmed by recent events
i struggle with the haunting of their potential outcome
in the exaggeration of my emotional outpour i bleed tears
dry to the air of the night
i shrivel like a plum under light
so this is what it is like
to be a prey to grief
an abhorrent internal pain
i forget its feel when it is gone
i remember its feed when it is here
bent
out of sorts
barely able to walk
i return to the inferno of my now
quiet
i keep my affliction private and unassuming

Sometimes it’s sad but mostly it’s not.
When you happen to wear color blue
You feel a bit poignant inside.
I see peace of mind, a vibrant emotion!
A dark shade of blue symbolizes deep thought
Whether it’s baby blue or sky blue,
Nothing has changed – I’m feeling so light!
Seas, oceans, lakes and pools,
Everyone loves to dive in blue water.
Suggests calmness and tranquility,
There’s hope we can find in this hue.
Like a heaven above having the same color.
No wonder why plenty of people,
Wherever you go there is blue
It’s much favorite color to wear by all ages
Watching death daily, is like watching for the black messy tar/
to come off your car/ not knowing/ you are driving on it/
the tears in your eyes /pours out/ like a bucket of well water/
your heart/ is racing like / like the horses in the Kentucky Derby/
the souls/ are like muddy water/
where is the hope/ can I cope/
watching death/ daily/ and I didn't /see this/ one coming/

Friends comes and goes, people
live and dies
I have seen days and mornings
Looked as the sunrise and
watched the moon sets
Can delineate good and can
describe evils
I have famed pains and can tell
how much it hurts
Saw death and can tell how
fearsome its glimpse works
This footnote is a horror but a
price for my error
For nights I couldn’t sleep just
to overhear the house breathe
There are spaces, void spaces
that no one can fill
Some truth, honest words that
no one can say
Good stuffs, real stuffs that no
other can teach better than you
You can’t rebuff knowing the
truth of how much I wanted to
be with you
Life taught me, how to miss
someone can really hurt
How I’d to wait that lengthy for
the space to be filled
Drooling to hear that open truth
from your heart
But at least don’t deny the fact
that by you, I’m still loved
Maybe you wanted to see me
cry for it
Maybe you wanted to hear me
implore for it
To say it, you already knew how
hard it was for me
Won’t stop writing about it, till
you say you still love me
you feel low
get more and more
its pure
and can cure
its about sex passion
and you
FEELING BLUE GET MORE TOO
When I’m feeling blue,
I look at the picture of you,
Smiling back at me,
It changes my mood easily.
When I’m feeling blue,
I write a poem about a view,
Describing a beautiful scenery,
My heart is satisfied and happy.
When I’m feeling blue,
I eat my food so slow,
But when I finished my meal,
My problems is not a big deal.

Got the flu, feeling blue
Feeling down and all alone
Can’t go to church and spread my germs
So what is one to do?
But to tell the Lord and share with you I love Him more
Each and every day
As I seek His face and come to know
His Glory in a more intimate and tangible way.
It’s in times such as these
His grace and mercy is most evident to see
For though I am weak, He strengthens me.
So one is never alone, as one may think
He is always near, waiting patiently
To hear the voice of the ones he loves
Those with ears to hear
To call to Him for His help for His love
Just as he has done for me
Washed me clean set me free
From the sins of the past and who was
The Lord is waiting patiently
Share your heart release the past
Be washed in His love and grace
And know the comfort of the His embrace.
The power of Jesus is'
Just right ahead
-Far-
Beyond sickness
Well being will prevail
Really care to listen
Know just what
To do,
-Fore-
The mighty hand's
Of Jesus
Are laying and praying
Upon you
GF
