Loneliness

Alone without you.
Suffering fills my platter.
Belly full of pain.

(untitled)

Secrets through my veins.
Always conscious of past sins.
Heart pumping out guilt.

(untitled)

Shouted words uncovering hidden rage.
Empty promises. Betrayed trust.
What have I dont to make you doubt me?
What have I said to prove myself a liar?

Duties done out of obligation.
My payment for the privilege of enduring this torture.
My gratitude for prison bars and stifled opinions.
The spit in the face that you call affection.

Climbing the never-ending stairs to a family
And still falling when I'm halfway there.
Love never reciprocated.
Living an empty life.

(untitled)

Opening my chest.
A hole where my heart once was.
Empty bitterness.

The Lecture

Angry shouts,

Uncomforted tears.

We take turns yelling,

Hearing, never listening.

I am always the one to blame

The wisdom placed upon you age

Makes you impervious to change

-But not me.

I couldn't possibly understand

An "adult" when convenient for you

But mostly a "child"

The opinions of which are beyond consideration.

A "conversation" that turns into a two-hour lecture

Your thoughts never interrupted

Mine always challenged

The thoughts behind my tears are vanity.

In the end, what do we have

But a sore throat and puffy eyes?

Tears fall down my face.

An emptiness never filled.

No one to hold me.

Tiger Woods scandal

I just have to speak up about this Tiger Woods thing since they won't let you turn on the tv at all without some spoof or comment about how terrible his infidelity was.

I realize exactly how biting and hurtful adultery is. I understand why people are shocked and appalled by that kind of behavior...But why are we acting like Tiger Woods is the first person in human history to commit adultery?! Where were the "E News" reports when Morgan Freeman and his wife got a divorce, when Eric Benet went to rehab for being "addicted to sex"? What happened to Larry King being in the spotlight for his little mistake?

I'm not particularly interested in what Tiger Woods does, ever. I'm a little upset that he would even think about cheating when his existing wife looks so gorgeous...but what has Tiger done for me? It has been said that this is a big deal because people look up to Tiger Woods...For what?! I don't see Tiger on campaigns for curing childrens' diseases, or donating millions to charity. He is a golf player! And a human! Bill Clinton ran our country and committed adultery, and somehow people still respect him.

In my opinion, Tiger Woods screwed up. Big deal. Now we all know he's just another pervert in America.
