Heroes
My mama, through all of our drama, she is still my cheerleader and benefactor, lol....
A walking oxymoron....
Cool as a fan....
Hot like fire ....
Warm as apple pie.....
Poet.... Artist.... Poet & artist aficionado
Sweet, spicy & nutty
Sarcastic. Happy-go Lucky. Sexy Nerd. Naturally Alise.
Get like me! (*wink*)
A slave to my feelings... A slave to my desires... Wondering when I'll set myself free... Knowing who holds the key to the shackles, why can't I let myself be?
A slave to this life... A slave to what I see... Those things I'll never be... Only in my world can I find love... The love of me...!
No deep thoughts... No, none as deep as the abyss of the sea... Only the surface, for this is what I've come to learn they only see... Never wanting me for me...

If they only knew what this life can do to you, they would leave it alone...let it go extinct, but they can't!
It keeps callin like the scent of antelope blood to lionesses on the pride...they hunger for it...can't see the eminent dangers with their eyes.
If they could only see what pain this life brings to me, they wouldn't meddle...yet alone dabble...their hearts wold drop; flutter without blood...nothing to clot as this life drains you of all....

A Slave !
A slave to my feelings...
A slave to my desires...
Wondering when I'll set myself free...
Knowing who holds the key to the shackles,
why can't I let myself be?
A slave to this life...
A slave to what I see...
Those things I'll never be...
Only in my world can I find love...
The love of me...!
No deep thoughts...
No, none as deep as the abyss of the sea...
Only the surface, for this is what
I've come to learn they only see...
Never wanting me for me...
