Toine Sheppard

Hating the skin im in
Im filled with sin

Scared of the person underneath
...

If I died for you would you cry for me

Because lately I've been feeling so empty
...

your legs are bruised
your face is dry

you run as fast as you can
...

your back to black
your falling back

your feeling sad
...

your so hungery yet
you want to puke

And at church its hard to pick yourself up
...

My hearts so heavy
from all the pain I carry

Yet I'm so light
...

So much depends upon,
A hick man in overalls.
...

The sparkel in your eyes
the warmth in your skin
Your breath on my neck
that quivers with in
...

Living.
Wild, Unpredictable.
Exciting, Lasting, Begginning.
Alive, Light. Gone, Dark.
...

You sit alone while the candle on your desk starts to smuther out.
You feel like the candle.
Your light is just about to burn out.
Theres nothing you can do but wonder.
...

Love that band.
Like a fat guy loves Twinkies.
I said love that band.
Like a fat guy loves Twinkies.
...

I
i want to be like fire
Beautilful, shining, glowing
It can light up a soul like yours
...

If I told you there'd be a tomorrow
You'd believe me.

If I told you there would be no sorrow
...

She learned much to old
She thought the world was cold

She said it was all a lie
...

The old womans all alone
No one to talk to on the phone

Her husband died
...

The question asked in order
to save her life or take it
The answer no avoided
death, and yes would make it
...

Is this the way its going to be?
You found someone else, now you dump me?

I hate that it turned out this way
...

Lighting
is like
The sticky hands of a three year old
Touching everything in sight
...

Am I looking for love in all the wrong places
Not looking at them, just their pretty faces

Am I looking for comfort in all the wrong things
...

This poem goes to all whom know and feel
To thoes who see culture unforgiving.

Th man they prize could not have been real
