well looky here its lucky me
what is it that my daddy sees
...its quiet and cold and much too dark
waiting for that fear-full draft
i wrap up tight around my toes
just a tiny hole for my nose
...its warm in here under the covers
trying to keep out familial lovers
lets see what you have there
baby girl
i'll show you mine
i'll rock your world
floating above the world below
i close my eyes and see the show
dont look at me im the highest
hush now baby please be quiet
daddy loves you little girl
you keep his secret like a squirrel
dig down deep and bury it there
and float away high in the air
it feels so good doesnt it honey
it feels better than all the money
mom and dad cant give you much
but pop can show you how to touch
but im so far away up high
i cant feel you touch my thigh
my heart is swelling i feel it big
no more to bury no room to dig
my tummy hurts mom
i dont feel so good
i couldnt find my way back down
i just kept on flying all around
i saw you sleeping all alone
while daddy showed me how to moan
...im sorry mom i tried to stop him
i thought i was flying but i was flopping
out of water out of bed
i feel dizzy stop my head
...there you go my baby girl
i told you i could rock your world
now close your eyes and go to sleep
and in the morning not a peep
because daddy loves
his little girl
and looky here
shes like a squirrel

Poetry as a beginning.
It's always hard to write about yourself and your life, so I am going to begin by posting some poetry. If I can do more later, I will. Thanks for reading!
I'm talking now
Dont tell me how to save myself
From truth or lies or anything else
Ive been there and done that
And I have a place to hang my hat
Ive been alone, Ive been with you
Nobody knows my color blue
Theres more to my story than youll ever see
But a clue, perhaps, or maybe three
My papa was a preacher man
Who touched his kids, his harem clan
When I got older I drank and screamed
A legion of demons tearing my seams
My mother said she never knew
She doesnt believe and neither do you
So I drank and drugged and abused myself
I just couldnt place it on the shelf
Ive been in places high and low
Met people you will never know
Searching, searching for my soul
Ending with an empty bowl
Half way around this earthly plane
I found that I was still the same
Strong, intelligent and above all defiant
Ive wrestled down the biggest giant
The lesson I share I lived and learned
Patience kept me from getting burned
You say you dont care what I think
Patience will bring me back from the brink
And even though you now hate me
Ill patiently wait till truth you see
So here I sit, listening to you
Trying to tell me what do
