Flattered

I've been battered,
And shattered by it.
But the process of putting the pieces back,
Have healed.
And I find myself flattered by your comments.
It does feel good,
Knowing I can still appeal.
And I thank you for that.
You have reminded me I can attract.
I am flattered.
But I must also state...
If you keep that up,
You might find I'm easy to bait!
And the first to want to snuggle.
I've been battered,
And shattered by it.
But I did not say one thing,
About rejecting the notion...
Of being tenderized.
I am not that self sufficient.
Nor do I choose to be!
Although I have made some attempts...
The results of them did prove to be less gratifying!

You're Looking At Me

Who had the girls turning hand-springs
Crazy to love him, claimed he
Who could so misunderstand things
You're lookin' at me
Who was so sure of his conquest
Sure as a human could be
Who wound up losing the contest
You're lookin' at me, you're looking at me
Where is that boy
Who was certain his charms couldn't fail
Where is that boy
Who believed every word of this ridiculous tail
Who was so childishly flattered
Thought he'd swept her off her feet
Who woke to find his dream shattered
Might I repea-eat, might I repeat
For-or you needn't strain your eyes
To see what I want you to see
That's right, you're looking at me
Where is that boy
Who was certain his charms couldn't fail
Where is that boy
Who believed every word of this ridiculous tail
Who was so childishly flattered
Thought he'd swept her off her feet
Who woke to find his dream shattered
Might I repeat, might I repeat
For-or you needn't strain your eyes
To see what I want you to see
That's right, you're looking at me-ee...

Scattered

This song is dedicated to the memory of
Annie florence davies and carol bryans.
Like a seed that is sewn
All the children are scattered
By a breeze that is blown
Now the crops are all scattered
We are torn, we are shattered
Now some of us are barmy and battered
And the fields where we gathered
Are overgrown in weeds and in tatters
Through it all we were scattered
To the fields we are scattered
From the day we are born
To grow wild and sleep rough
Till from the earth we are torn
And a soul that is free
Can live on eternally
And the spirit can live on
Though its scattered in the world beyond
And Ive been out of my mind
Ever since shes been gone
I look around that empty room
No sight nor sound
Shes left so soon
Shes out of view
But the I find
Those scattered clues she left behind
A photograph with a smiling face
A cigarette stubbed out on the fireplace
A coffee cup with her lipstick stains
I guess Ill never see her again
Now my life is all scattered
Ever since shes been gone
I feel older, I feel fatter
I feel the blues coming on
We get bruised
We get battered
But well pick up the pieces that scattered
And with emotional glue
Were gonna stick together, body and mind
Ever since she went away
Ive been alone to contemplate
Time and space and why worlds move
While sitting in my solitude
Ive watched the stars and wondered why
Theyre scattered up there in the sky
And is she up there out of view
On some higher platitude
I wish I knew
Wish I could prove
The reason why this life on earth
Is scattered like the universe
Im scattered here and scattered there
Bits of me scattered everywhere
To the fields we are scattered
Then from the dust we are born
We survive somewhat battered
To a new life, a new dawn
In the end what will it matter
Therell only be my ashes to scatter
And all the logical answers
To a worrying mind
Will be scattered in time
Beaten and battered
To the earth you are scattered
Youre going home so what does it matter
To an atomic mind
Scattered here while you travel time

Born In Prison

Were born in a prison
Raised in a prison
Sent to a prison called school
We cry in a prison
We love in a prison
We dream in a prison like fools
Wood becomes a flute when its loved
Reach for yourself and your battered mates
Mirror becomes a razor when its broken
Look in the mirror and see your shattered fate
We live with no reason
Kicked around for no reason
Thrown out without reason like tools
We work in a prison
And hate in a prison
And die in a prison as a rule
Wood becomes a flute when its loved
Reach for yourself and your battered mates
Mirror becomes a razor when its broken
Look in the mirror and see your shattered fate
We live in a prison
Among judges and wardens
And wait for no reason for you
We laugh in a prison
Go through all four seasons
And die with no vision of truth
Wood becomes a flute when its loved
Reach for yourself and your battered mates
Mirror becomes a razor when its broken
Look in the mirror and see your shattered fate

Born In A Prison

Were born in a prison, raised in a prison,
Sent to a prison called school.
We cry in a prison, we love in a prison,
We dream in a prison like fools.
Wood becomes a flute when its loved,
Reach for yourself and your battered mates.
Mirror becomes a razor when its broken,
Look in the mirror and see your shattered fate.
We live with no reason, kicked round for no reason,
Thrown out without reason like tools.
We work in a prison and hate in a prison,
And die in a prison as a rule.
Wood becomes a flute when its loved,
Reach for yourself and your battered mates.
Mirror becomes a razor when its broken,
Look in the mirror and see your shattered fate.
We live in a prison mong judges and wardens
And wait for no reason for you.
We laugh in a prison, go through all four seasons,
And die with no vision of truth.
Wood becomes a flute when its loved,
Reach for yourself and your battered mates.
Mirror becomes a razor when its broken,
Look in the mirror and see your shattered fate.
Born in a prison!
(born in a prison!)
(born in a prison!)

Born in a prison!

Born in a prison!
Born in a prison!

Shattered innocence

You shattered my innocence.
You shattered everthing good.
You shattered my way of being.
My happiness has gone.

You thought it wouldn't matter.
You thought you'd do what you like.
Not caring if you hurt me.
All you said is it was a game.

You said I'd like the game.
You said you'd teach me something new.
You certainly did that allright.
You taught me pain.

You didnt care when I cryed.
When I asked you not to you laughed.
And spat in my face.

You shattered my innocence.
You shattered my trust.
How could you do such a thing?

Your evil
Thats all I can say.
Your rotten to the core.

Light On The Other Side

When I come to the dock and sit very still,
I wonder why on earth we fight and kill.
I see a light on the other side flickering to me,
As if to say, youre alright, youll find your way.
The world is so beautiful when Im out here,
Why cant it be the same when were back there?
Above my head, straight ahead,
I see a bird gliding
As if to say, Im alright, Ill find my way.
Windows are shattered,
Streets are battered,
Kids are frightened,
Men are still at war.
Moms are feeling sad,
Dads are feeling bad.
I wanna know, I wanna know
If the worlds gone mad.
Above my head, straight ahead,
I see a bird gliding
As if to say, Im alright, Ill find my way.

Fitting Into A Socket

My 'self' was made to feel out of place,
At one time.
Made to feel the odd ball 'out' of pocket.
With a connection that didn't fit...
Into any accepting socket.

But time has made it okay for my 'self',
To deliver beyond my own expectations.
And today I can say,
I am rather proud I allowed 'me' to just 'be'.
Knowing it was never going to be easy...
Putting together all those pieces of me,
To feel completely whole.

And today,
I am feeling so bold.
Wherever I choose to plug myself in...
To energize.
I don't have to worry about fitting into a socket at all.
Since I come providing my own motivation.

I've Just Started

I am flattered,
But not yet sold.
Nor am I convinced,
By what I am told.

My steps on a path,
Has not changed at all.
The obstacles remain the same.
I am just careful how I fall.

Stumbling to get up,
Has become my ritual.
With few complaints...
I master my strengths.

I am flattered,
But not yet sold.
Nor am I convinced,
By what I am told.

I just 'do'.
To get done.
With a motivation...
That inspires me to finish.

I am flattered that this has been recognized.
But not yet sold am I.
Nor convinced by what I am told,
About achieving with accomplishment...
The best of my efforts.
That's impossible!
How could I when I've just started.

Shattered Pieces

shattered pieces
my hands shall pick you up

and they will bleed
to make you whole again

shattered pieces
when you become whole

will you love me?

Broken Windows Shattered Mirrors

Broken windows shattered mirrors
The tiny slivers fall like tears
They cut me till my arms run red
They make me wish that I was dead
And though I try to carry on
I know my time here's almost gone
Broken windows shattered mirrors

Broken windows shattered mirrors
I'm surrounded by these fears
I know I shouldn't be afraid
I feel like I'm locked up in a cage
I push and pull try to get out
I scream until I just can't shout
Broken windows shattered mirrors

Broken windows shattered mirrors
I'll have bad luck seven years
I know it's just a superstition
But I also know it's pure intuition
That made me stay not fade away
So I could live another day
Broken windows shattered mirrors

May You Go To Heaven

this heart is fettered
this soul is shattered
these eyes are pestered
this body is battered

everything is given away
what is left is dismay

hence,

goodnight my friend
may you go to heaven

Battered

Battered.
And I hate it.
Addicted to the abuse of it.
It seems to benefit our love making.
The two of us lusting,
To crush each other's emotions.
We share a sick relationship.
It's as if it is a need.

Battered.
Wounded, bleeding...
To beg for forgiveness.
And the coming together to kiss!
Why is this brutality missed?
I hate it when you bait me into an argument.
Don't go!
I love you.
And I can't make sense of it.

Queen

You use to treat me like a king
Oh how well loved I felt
I felt I was your everything
So secure I would melt
Now I feel beaten like a dog
Totally confused and spent
And so with sadness, desire fades
Struggle thru each day all bent
I no longer laugh at all these ways
Much less hold my head up high
So beaten that I crawl hands all crazed
Worked hard to hide how I cried
All this effort to build a life
Now no matter how I try
You greet me with your shattered screams
So abuse that each day I would die
Soul crippling and wrought with pain
I don't feel much loved, less desired
No comfort or pride- as my health subsides
Just weighted, bone dead and tired
A victim of your selfish self
All strewn about and shattered
A parcel in your ratted wealth
I'm left to be alone and battered

The Pain Is Worth It!

If ones heart has never felt hurt
Than ones heart can never feel love.
Ones heart has to be shattered before ones  heart can be put back together.
That person will pick up the pieces and make ones heart whole.
That person will show passion, love, and an eternity of happiness.
Those times when we feel we can't be more broken,
We have to pick our selves up knowing the one Is still there waiting.
They will make all the pain, suffering, and anguish worth it,
They will prove too you that you will never have to feel that pain again,  
And that this is forever!

Tears Unbidden

Hearts left broken
One by one
Shattered like glass
Breaking

Torn open
And ripped to shreds
It lays battered
At her feet

Tears come
Unbidden
But welcomed
All the same

Fingers & Thumbs

Don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
A hint of the scent then it's gone
Look at the state of you, you're all fingers & thumbs
So who's your latest flame
Drivin' em wild in the fast lane
Won't say i told you so, but the boy has no shame
Once when my hands were full
We were double or quits then some
Nothin' at all to show for a love so precious
Gone & blown it all, how can you say
"it doesn't matter much to me?"
A dumb mistake too much to pay
A shattered heart in love's debris
Gone & blow it all & then you say
"this can't be happening to me"
A dumb mistake too much to pay
A shattered heart in love's debris
Don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
The thrill of the chase then it's gone
Only the hurt to prove that it ever went on
And life is a wonderful thing
When you're humming the words to a love song
Do what you wanna do be who you want to be
When i'm in your arms i'm strong
There's nowhere i'd rather be
We shine for liberty, life & the pursuit of pleasure
Gone & blown it all, how can you say
"it doesn't matter much to me?"
A dumb mistake too much to pay
A shattered heart in love's debris
Gone & blown it all & then you say
"this isn't happening to me"
A dumb mistake too much to pay
A shattered heart in love's debris
And how the days have flown too few & fast
They said it wasn't meant to last
A dumb mistake too much to pay
A shattered heart in love's debris

Burning Tortured Effigies

I need time
To count the things that went wrong-
The innocence that once was so strong
Lies tattered-
A white dress,
Battered,
Torn,
Covered with mudstains…
Bloodstains.

Count the dreams-
The ones that never last,
But passed like stars
Into the distance,
Unreachable,
Fading into nothing, on the other side
Of the Black Horizon,

With one hand
I count the times you smiled,
Didn’t you hear?
Happiness is back in style,
Every moment of passion-
It is now the fashion to enjoy.

As darkness falls,
The world becomes a tomb,
Memories fade into an empty hell
Of forgotten wounds.
Instead of the sacred, promised sympathy,
They’re burning tortured effigies
of you.

The innocence of crystal,
Once so strong lies
Shattered…
It was just a matter of time
Before bruised and battered,
You fell behind.

Throughout The Pain

Drowning in these tears I've cried
Hoping that it would drown out the pain
But instead I crawled through the pain
Ran through the storms

Hid all the pain inside of myself
Cause I knew no one else would ever understand
I was right they didn't understand
Not the pain I was feeling

Worse than a deep cut
Broken into and ripped apart
No one knew how torn up I was
How shattered I was inside

No one even knew it at all
Can't even describe the pain I was feeling
But here I am still
Still alive after I've tried to die

I can't say I'm pain free cause I'm not
I can say that most of the pain is gone
And that all in all I'm doing okay
I'm doing alright all things considering

This road I've traveled on was long and rough
These storms I've faced along the way
The scars upon me I made
It was all well worth it cause I learned a lot throughout the pain

Throughout the pain I made it
Still shattered I don't think I will ever find all the pieces
But I'm still here through the long suffering of pain
I made it throughout the pain and made it through the storms

Myriad Grains Of Hurt

My world was ended the day
My heart was shattered
And shards of love were crushed
To myriad, myriad grains of hurt.

My heart was shattered the day
My soldier died
And, bullet-battered, his body
Reclaimed by friends of war.

My soldier died that day
My tears were scattered
And aching love replaced my heart
With myriad, myriad grains of hurt.
