The train moves faster like life passing by,
it's like a timeline from the past to the
present. His old wheels are rusty and full of dirt, the sound that it makes is like thunder from a stormy night. It passes every two minutes everyday,
I am already used to the sound of the horn from far away.
It moves faster like the wind. His wheels keep shivering every time he passes by pounding on the tracks from the movement and from thought of being old and yet he is still keeps moving like the air smooth and gentle ever since technology was invented.
There is no ending to the railroad tracks they are miles and miles long, and the same train of life is still the one passing thru the same path everyday since the first time that it was born to travel around the world.

Why Not Me Instead Of You
Why not me instead of you
Your life had just begun
I have lived so many years
My work on earth is done
I can not believe my eyes
As they cover you with dirt
Tears will not stop flowing
My heart fills with hurt
Memories of you embrace me
I prepare my self for the worst
Why not me instead of you
I should have gone first...
Rodney you will alway be in my
heart and soul , I LOVE YOU
my SON until Death To Us Part
Your life had just begun
I have lived so many years
My work on earth is done
I can not believe my eyes
As they cover you with dirt
Tears will not stop flowing
My heart fills with hurt
Memories of you embrace me
I prepare my self for the worst
Why not me instead of you
I should have gone first...
Rodney you will alway be in my
heart and soul , I LOVE YOU
my SON until Death To Us Part

Ture Love
I love you more then life can say
I think about you every day
Even tho you are fare away
In my heart you will stay
People say love is blind
But not to me because you are so kind
So every day i hope and pray
that your love will never fade away
I think about you every day
Even tho you are fare away
In my heart you will stay
People say love is blind
But not to me because you are so kind
So every day i hope and pray
that your love will never fade away
If I Died Tomarrow
If i died tomarrow
Would you even care
Would you miss the way i smile
Or the smell of my hair ?
If i died tomarrow
Would you really miss me
Would you miss times we talk
Or every time you kissed me ?
If i died tomarrow
Would you be to blame
Would you come to the funeral
And hang your head in shame ?
If i died tomarrow
Is there anything you'd want to say
May be that you love me
And want me to stay .......
Would you even care
Would you miss the way i smile
Or the smell of my hair ?
If i died tomarrow
Would you really miss me
Would you miss times we talk

And hang your head in shame ?

My Hero
My hero is a blue shirt
He wears a badge and gun
Serves his public night and day
He says the road is fun
He risks his life for strangers
always does his part
A modern day man
My hero has a heart
some times his soul is weary
Midnight can be rough
With little rest , he does his
Best , Decisions , Too are tough
Other days are funny
Some are sad , its true
His life about just helping out
The likes of me and you
My hero loves his uniform
He loves the risky life
He's proud to be a blue shirt
I'm proud to be his sister....

( The Inside Out )
If only you could see inside
The part I always try to hide
The part I can't seem to let out
The part that makes me cry and shout
A frightened child alone and scared
A child about who no one cared
Locked away for all these years
Locked away with all these fears...
Could you love this part of me ?
This part of me you'll never see
The sad and angry child inside
I try so vary hard to hide...
May beyou could learn to know
The feeling i try not to show
Hold me when I cry and shout
And you could HELP me let the inside out......

THE WAY SHE MAKES ME FEEL
You make me feel special,
You make me feel new,
You make me feel loved, with Everything you do.
You hold me close when I am sad.
You wipe my tears from my face when I cry.
Every time we are together, it seems like the perfect night.
My eyes light up when I see you from the corner of my eyes.
I smile when we are together and I know that's you are my other half.
No matter how bad things are, you always make them better by being the way you are.
I love the way you kiss me, the way you hold me tight inside your arms.
I love the way you can make me laugh for absolutely no reason at all, I love how no matter what I do, you will be there to catch me whenever I fall.
I just want you to know, that even thought we sometimes fight, I will always love you! No matter what, day or night.

Nice to meetcha........
INTRODUCTION
Hi there, hola, ohh look, guess who?
Most of you know me by zannyboo.
Took me so long to make it in,
I'm like wtvr, just sink or swim.....
I'm here now, and that's all that matters
Delivering random thoughts and splatters
Tossing out colours that take word form
Like brainchild secrets, and heart love torn...
I think I'll stay,
I like it here,
Plops down on a bean bag chair....
Deep in thought as i always am,
My mind flowing with diddly damn.

Broken Records
Our lives are all
Like a jukebox
Bits and pieces of us
In every song.
We fall in love and think
It’s a Heavenly match
And we often overlook
“That tiny scratch”
Because we’re stuck like
A needle on a record:
We feel so good…
…We feel so good
We feel so good…
…We feel so…
NICE.
New relationships begin by
Singing terms of endearment
But the verses all change
When we start to feel pain.
We all think we’ve found
Such a perfect match
Until we finally notice
“That deep scratch”
The needle jumps and skips
All over the record:
And we are c…
…And we are cold
And we are cold…
…And we are…
ICE.

GIVE UP
No one knows none can see this pain that lives inside of me.
Scars that burns as smiles fade you wonder why they ever stayed. Push and pull drift away tomorrow's just another day heartless, soulless all I'd be if life would just give up on me.

Wheels and Tracks
The train of thought that never quite gets there,
Is perhaps more dangerous than the one arriving at the destination.
For as we travel along these tracks,
Paths can change,
And tracks will have to readjust.
Readjusting is dangerous you see,
Because when it is what it is,
Maybe it isn't quite that anymore.
The rigid metal that constrains the train,
Can change with a little persuasion.
As one travels down the path,
Moving along a set track,
Imagine molding that metal,
Imagine the wheels free...
And all that is,
May be only a fraction of what could be.

HEARTLESS MOTHER
I tried to talk to you, but you didn't reply. I ask questions and all you did was lie. I made room for you, you left me in the dark, Didn't hold me tight, I had to find the light.
I tried to hold you, yet you pushed me away. You left without reasons, I wont forget that day. But I'm doing alright, you didn't think I could with all of me, I made it right, but it shows how much I know and how much I learn without you being a part of my life. The world keeps moving just like the hands of the clock keeps turning we can't change the past but yet we could change the future.

LIFE
life? whats it mean..
wheres it supposed to go ?
what are we supposed to do with nothing to say, and nowhere to go ?
what are we supposed to do when the words don't come out right,
when theres nothing to feel, nothing to talk about, nothing left to think about, but that same old speech, the same old talk.
we all live different lives, we go through different strides,
we travel roads unfamiliar to most, we go down the roads of memories,
we look back and wonder whered the time go?
our fun flies with time, the clock never stops ticking.. we only live once. stop and see everything around you, notice even the things you don't want to see, the things that you ignore that are happening regardless if you can control them or not.
look at the life you are leading, look at it's dead ends, you're going on a one way road to nowhere! life has many tests, many trials, the things you experience in life are to see what life is really to you, to give you definition, but when you ignore whats going on around you, you don't notice where life is taking you! you don't see what you yourself are doing to make YOU!
overall, life is just a long, spread out journey, that is out of your control, either way you look at it.. there is only going to be a few things that you are going to be able to control, and those that you can't control, are not to be controlled.
life will end one day, from now until the end of time, live the life you WANT to live, not the dream that you cannot reach! live a complete life that has everything in it that you wished for.. live a life that's to the extent of everything you dreamed! life? whats it mean? wheres it supposed to go ?..........
when i get there.. i will let you know.. until then.. i will not let go, cause i have a lot i want to do , and the feelings coming back into my life have nowhere! atleast i will always have somewhere.. because i will not lose sight of myself.. life? whats it mean? hell if i know! just live!

Missing Out
I don't know what it is you have against me, i feel tension all night long,
and all of a sudden, i feel everything i do is wrong.
I witness whispering, then laughing along with constant staring.
Then, i wonder, what is it i've done wrong?
Not a smile, or anything from familiar faces,
not a grin or even a giggle, all i see is empty faces.
In the corner there i stand, alone, left out,
and still i don't understand...........
where i missed out..
