He stands there and plays with his fire, Not knowing she stares at him with desire He cannot see her because she’s overturned, She watches in shame Because her water-hair extinguishes his flame The path that lies untouched, ends suddenly And a world of colors emerges broadly However, he does not look back, or notice his wings. He does not know that it’s for him, she sings She waited for him with her back turned Only to find out, in his flame he burned She waited for him in the world of colors But he never made it to the Doors.

Walk into the alley and there you’ll see Something you thought never could be Something that will scare the shit out of me Couldn’t believe so I walked into the alley Dead end, and there was nothing there They told me to listen and then I will hear Something that will make me scream in fear They told me to be still because they were near And to turn back around and they will reveal What they put in your head, it seems so real Where are they, what the fucks the deal? Sh shut up and listen and they won’t kiiilll you The spirits of the dark side In the night they will collide And there is nowhere you can hide They won’t stop until you’ve died They’ll find you wherever you go And they sent me back to let you know That one day they’re gonna lay you low And they sent me back to let you know that the spirits will never slow down until they get you dead in the ground never stop ‘till your no longer around and they’ll make sure you’ll neva make anotha sound. The events of that night haunt me today Nothing happened to me is what they say And I swear some day that they will pay For what they did in that alley way Turned around and there they were That’s when I knew I was dead for sure They told me the pain would be hard to endure And now my insanity I could never cure I thought for sure this is the end of my life I always thought I’d be the one to survive Neva thought I’d be the one in this strife Now I’m fighting the dark spirits to stay alive They told me to stand there and close my eyes And when they open I’ll see a surprise Looked but couldn’t see nothing but hear their cries Screaming in my ear telling me I’m gonna diiieee-I The spirits of the dark side In the night they will collide And there is nowhere you can hide They won’t stop until you’ve died They’ll find you wherever you go And they sent me back to let you know That one day they’re gonna lay you low And they sent me back to let you know that the spirits will never slow down until they get you down in the ground never stop ‘till your no longer around and they’ll make sure you’ll neva make anotha sound. The events of that night haunt me today Nothing happened to me is what they say And I swear some day that they will pay For what they did in that alley way ~Leslie A. Patterson~

It comes to them so fast, you won't know how to act. Its hard to beleive it happened, because you never thought that life would end. You feel like your heart gained a thousand pounds, and the lump in your throat makes it hard to breathe. It causes you so much pain to lose someone, you thought would always be around. The only thing you could do is cry even that doesn't ease the pain you're feeling. You think of all the times you shared together, and each and every one of them you treasure. It makes you feel lost,When you lose someone who had you back, no matterh what the cost. You feel all alone because the one you love will no longer be coming home. Sooner or later you have to execpt the fact that they are gone and that maybe its time for you to move on. but that doesn't mean to forget them all together, keep them with you, in your heart, forever. Just remember, they are flying over you in Spirit They are always watching over you, Waiting patiently, for the day you can your wings and fly too.

I was robbed of my homelands, ways and beliefs... nothing I could do but cry and grieve. I was put into wastelands and forced to change... to cut my hair, speak his tongue and dress strange. Nowdays... I'm always distrusted and misunderstood in every way, thought to smoke and drink every day. Known to drop out of school... to fail in life...to be a fool. I can't get a good job because of my skin. Its BROWN, but that's not my reason to give in. I know I'll succeed and lead a good life I won't stop trying or turn my problems to a knife I'll PRAY to the GREAT SPIRIT to guide me I'm NATIVE and PROUD to be ............................................................................. Why is it that every one depends on me? Do this, and do that. That is how it has to be. That’s not who I am, that’s not who I see This is who I am, and who I’ll always be The one who is always hiding quietly Trying to get by unnoticed, to slip by slyly Only talking to those, I think of highly And bonding with the people that click And who don’t have to lie in order to kick it, And who don’t lie, steal or cheat and S*** Someone who will be calm and legit Rarely losing control and throwing a fit Always helping a hand in need of it This is who I am, this is who you get I only want to be someone who will survive Someone who won’t turn to a knife When life gets them down in strife Someone who appreciates the value of life. The one who has never been in fight Always trying to make every thing seem right Trying all my hardest to avoid the bright light even at times when life couldn’t get any worse all I have to do is write another verse and forget about everything in this universe go into my own world, just to avoid the hearse because this life I’m living is just one big curse that will never end, never stop until I burst but that won’t happen,(why?) just listen to this next verse I’ve got the heart of a fighter (I’m not gonna die here) I’m a survivor I’ve got the heart of a fighter (I’m not going to live in fear) I’m a survivor I’ve got the heart of a fighter (I’ll make it another year) I’m a survivor I’m a survivor

Before you made me smile, You made me laugh like I hadn't in a while Before you made me mad, You gave me a time I was glad to have Before you left me behind, You said those words that were ever so kind. "Your my baby sister, I'll Always be there" When we would play and pretend We would Find a reason to fight Soon the fighting was end And everything would be alright You were there for me Just like you said You guided me carefully You lifted my head
