My House Sits Alone On An Empty Street
My house
Sits alone
On an empty street.
When will someone
walk by?
I'm longing for someone to:
Protect me.
Talk to me.
Hug me.
Lend me a shoulder to cry on.
Love me,
For
Who
I
Am.

My Sanity
I
S
S
l i
p p i
n g
away
from
me.
God, take control of my overactive
mind to help win this fight,
take back what has become my involuntary
habits of confusing dilemas, pent-up anger,
blood shed thru my tears.
I'm tired of smiling and numbly walking on
day after day
leaving my voice box,
on the pillow,
never speaking what screams
inside me.
Writing gives me
the voice I wish
I had, does anyone
really read my words spoken on
paper, listened to by eyes of concern
and those that truly are my fence posts in a hurricane.
I open a drawer to the left of me, my sanity
has been found.

My Sister
'So are you going? '
That was Ashley,
Standing in the kitchen doorway in a T-shirt and socks.
At twenty-one my sister was a petite five-four,
With the kind of curly, round body I'd wish I'd been born with;
Tiny feet,
Perfect hair, small enough to be cute,
But a force to be reckoned with.
At my age she had already:
Been voted Most Popular,
Dated(and dumped) the captain of the football team, and
been a varsity cheerleader.
Just like Barbie,
My sister had everything.

Ode to Dogs
fluffy as a feather
loving, yet moody
wet kisses
black, brown, yellow, chocolate colored
different names
different personalities
sharp teeth
growls as loud as my alarm clock
some small, some big
some well-trained yet goofy
some cute yet silly
intelligent in their own way
Dogs- Man's best friend
