Joyce Kilmer save me please - we got history
The dead stay talking to me I'm as helpless as a tree
They speak through to me
And I'm definitely not a tree
and they are most definitely dead
I'm forced to be an embossed embassy another berlin a magnet for their raw charms or languishing cries
Explaining longings plans telling me where he expected to be if it weren't for this one little thing but in my dream he didn't know he was dead he was a wannabe alive guy
telling me his plans like everybody else
Voices vicariously strewn by spring flowers fa...

totally going crazy
I already am
I just realized my blog is fine it's my email
I can't do this
I'm changing it back.
I'm sorry I'm so crazy
the good news is I've come up with another solution!
I just realized my blog is fine it's my email

I'm changing it back.
I'm sorry I'm so crazy
the good news is I've come up with another solution!
one aggravation after another
I can't understand it.
Like lil abner a cloud follows my head.
I've been dealing with lost emails and sent emails that never go anywhere and from what I just learned this has been going on for many months. Now on my end when I send an email it makes that nice whoosssshhhh sound that apple mail makes and then they disappear into cyberspace. It took quite some time to realize all this was happening.
This time I did it on purpose without realizing it was my intent.
How could I do it again? – I follo...

TRANSVERSE THE UNIVERSE THROW THE GEARS IN REVERSE
I was thinking of all the things I had to do
And then I started thinking of you
And lost my memory of what I was supposed to do
Because then all I could do was think about you
That's just the way it goes
sometimes I hit all the lows
The highs are left behind
I refuse to leave well enough alone
The next climb's all my treat
Yes I've finally done it
I've gone and lost my mind
I heard it through the grapevine
No longer will I be mine
I wish it were just fine but it seems
things go from bad to worse
So I try...

one more pill to help me chill so i don't kill anyone
Like Alice in Wonderland I roam the desert of my mind trying to find a way out
Every day I reinvent myself wondering whether or not to take the next stand
I become restless longing for success I confess it came to possess me I digress
I used to be somebody now I'm someone else
It boils down to our animal instincts, survive and thrive
The meaning we attribute to things is what
gives them power over us
A universal bower a tower of confidence
It's a matter of perspective - probably our entire planet i...

Working To Save My Flow Blow-By-Blow On A Paid Word-A-Day Work Flow Pantoum
I sat at my computer with a cat on my lap to help me relax
She flew up from her seat like the cat's a bat outta hell bent on a personal attack
Reacts as though she saw a rat on my lap instead of a cat
Like a spoiled brat she makes me put my cats on lock down
She flew up from her seat like the cat's a bat outta hell bent on a personal attack
I put on my thinking cap try to solve the problem down pat
Like a spoiled brat she makes me put my cats on lock down
I frown at the crackdown - locking the cats...

Gimmee Money
That beat gets heated in my head
Never felt like this before cause its never been this bad before
Financially
I'm feeling those fiduciary blues now
Things are getting worse all the time
money aint everything it's true but it sure does help to pay those bills
Money it's what I want – gimmee money it's what I want
Money raining down on me
money ain't everything it's true but it sure gets its hold on you when you need to pay those bills
A little thrill that bill got paid - a huge frill with bitter pill t...
