2. Freda
Depending on where you stand
She has courage beyond any man
Her strength is unmeasured
Her heart is full of pleasure
Depending on how you see
She‟s so beautiful…to me
Her hands hold a firm grip
Her limb‟s traveled many „a trip
Depending on how you feel
She‟s the definition of what‟s real
Her offspring show her character
Her partner is a part of her
I guess some will never know
The rays of light her beauty show
I guess some are just too blind to see
The grace of greatness that‟s been shown to me
3. A Friend
Sometimes there‟s trouble
But I won‟t hide
Sometimes there‟s fear
I‟ll be at your side
Whenever you need an ear
You can always have mine
Whenever you need ends
I‟ll find you a dime
What I‟m trying to say
You know anyway
Because forever and a day
I‟m here to stay
4. Rain
It pours for minutes
Sometimes hours
Resulting in rainbows
And brilliant flowers
To some it brings
remembrance
To others it‟s continuous
sleep
To me it‟s peace of mind
A peace that‟s seldom seen
5. Abuse
Make it known
Let our voices be heard
Break the silence of unspoken words
Set the pace
For your healing soul
No matter who believes what you‟ve told
It‟s all about you
And your peace of mind
The healing‟s not easy it takes some time
So take the first step
And believe indeed…
God‟s on your side and you shall be free!
6. Cast-Aways
Don‟t walk Yo‟ walk
Don‟t talk Yo‟ talk
Won‟t live that way
Yo‟ cast-away
Don‟t wear Yo‟ clothes
Can‟t ride Yo‟ rolls
Won‟t be that way
Yo‟ cast-away
Don‟t eat Yo‟ food
Can‟t fit Yo‟ shoes
Won‟t come my way
Yo‟ cast-away
Don‟t „tend „Yo school
Can‟t „bide „Yo rules
Won‟t live that way
„Yo cast-away
Don‟t feel for me
Can‟t root this tree
Won‟t change my way
Just cast-away…..
7. Before You Leave
Another day another argument
Seems we never get along
The more I say, the more you walk away
All that‟s right is you are wrong
What can I do to you understand?
All I do is just for you
But, can‟t you see, or choose to disagree
The dream I had has to come true
So now you say it‟s time to move on
But I can‟t or won‟t believe
You don‟t feel the way I heard you say
This scene is so unreal to me
Before you go, before you leave
Look at me, Make me believe
The love is Gone, You choose to carry on
You can live without me
8. Cried
When I cried I didn‟t understand
I gave my heart only to one man
I devoted my time to building a home
I tried to make see here is where he belonged
I wanted so deeply to be the only one
I now know that it was all in fun
So who‟s hurting now, today?
It‟s me; I‟m hurting in every way
9. Harmony of Houses
There‟s harmony in their houses
There‟s serenity in their land
There‟s joy beyond massiveness
With unity of every man
There‟s a white one on the left
There‟s a black one on the right
The yellow one‟s in between them
The red will dance at night
Their roof-tops blend together
Their windows feel no pain
This construction has one creator
Jehovah Jireh is His name
10. Me
Why do I suffer for things uncontrolled?
How come pressures make my life unfold?
I only want to be happy and live my life in peace
I‟ll keep asking God for courage
And a guided eye to see
11. Mind Games
Their silence is golden to those who are fools
Their temperature rises when they believe it‟s cool
There‟s no peace in their mist or calm in their seas
Above and beyond, their mystery exceeds
Using all the tricks in your magic hat
Won‟t give you a clue, they have it like that
It‟s a waste of your time, to blindfold the blind
That‟s the only result, when you play with the mind
12. Rumor Goes
So there‟s the place you plan to be
Rumor goes it‟s without me
Would time elapse before your goal
Or word from you to me be told
We drift parallel in horizontal‟s way
Diagonally conceiving what‟s come our way
Confusing apparent, but briefly lived
It comes; it goes, with solo will
Together we stood to unevenly fall
Our passion fading in sequence of all
Love was a factor, but not in this case
What once was commitment has turned to disgrace
13. The Morning After
Why should you trust after the pain
Why is there sunshine after the rain
Questions we can‟t answer, but consume our minds
Nothing ever certain, but revealed in time
I can promise you this, be it true or a wish
I‟ll never try to hurt you, ever
Just believe, come whatever
My intentions are pure, of this I‟m sure
14. The Mouth of One
From her lips leap depression onto another one‟s soul
Ranting and raving of things she‟s been told
Her lines never straight, just onward and out
Selfishly destroying her fellow man‟s house
Attention she needs, she gets it from you
Your name is shamed, from the “Book of Half Truths”
Deceit is her name, to devour is her game
Life a thief in the night, her tongue is untamed
Don‟t sleep, or she‟ll creep until she feels the sun
Beware of the words, of “The Mouth of One”
15. You Were Trying to Say…
Have all my past relationships
Turned me into a stranger to myself?
I‟m too blind to see what is in front of me
Now I ride in the rain to cry
I hide inside to make time go by
Confused about the next move to make
Should I turn away because of the pain?
Is it worth one more try
Do you still care for me or care less?
I‟m too frightened to find out one way or another.
Never speak, until you think
Never Act, until there‟s fact
16. …cont.
You make your life harder when you‟re impulsive and insecure
Believe in yourself, learn to trust
Take the time to believe in the ones you love
Waking, Sleeping
Waiting, Longing
Is my daily route without?
It‟s what I‟m feeling
Nothing-Trying to cope
Getting past this pain
30 Page Rage!
Confusion
How unpredictable is the war
Stormy sea‟s beyond a shore
Rain with rays of sun
