I was so tired of the bullshit
that I wanted to be anybody but me
tired of trying to live out a purpose
and just go head and be what they want me to be
but can't be everything to everybody
and like it or not my gifts were mine to do with
what He made me to make out of them
and as I get more comfortable in my skin
though still sickened by lustful men
I smile more than I used to
cause the staring is something
I've gotten used to
and it plays a role in what I do
too
so I had to come to grips with
the fact that there would be some
that will come and never
truly have any care for me
they just want to be wherever I be
so they can say that they were there
with me....it's my spirit that's the celebrity
not me..my heart that splits apart
and gives out pieces to
patch up holes in other brokens
and shows them where faith hides
inside of fresh starts
waiting to dance in the praises spoken
from weary lips to
deafening silence pounding
on patience like pavement
for there to be truly be
a better way to get out
what I have to say...without
without having to do it this way
I'd say day after day
in submission to my gift
in submission to Him
waiting for the evils to subside
like a storm and give way to light
make new days out of sleepless nights
but the bullshit
it just wouldn't stop

Take off your cool
and leave reason to
look for a reason to
find something else to do
for a minute while we
tangle theories and
tie each other up in
thoughts of differing opinions
pinning pent up emotions
into corners with no where
to run...ravaging every
idea running thru my mind
with wit and wisdom
until I grow weak in the knees
lost in the endless possibilities
in the ocean of time
carried in the current
of being closer than
your cynicism to
all that keeps you going
and takes me with
to the most beautiful
beaches I've ever
conceived dreams upon
to places where
stars sing me to sleep
and the breeze
is your aroma wafting
past me over pillows
praying to see your face
when my eyes open

though really
in reality you don't
come there with me
anymore
was wondering if
you could - for me
just one last time?

Hold fast
give me a minute
to feel like forever
is in my hands
and finally time is mine
if you just could
be still...stand
by my side
like there's
no place else you'd
rather be than
here with me
and let me breathe
for just a minute...

close your eyes
smile at what you
used to see in me
loved once
let me feel it
once more
pouring into me
feel complete
and completely
at peace
inside and out
for just a minute...

just
let me
have something
to keep for me
for when you're gone
just stop fighting me
just be
right here
for just a minute...

please
