Birthday Rant....

Enjoy! :-)

All A Dream

I paint my nails black, cuz it fits my mood


I'm tired of lookin' around for something to prove
You don't know how it feels inside my skin




But neither do I, because I numb the feeling

Take it away, all of my pain
I gotta bottle I need to finish

Take it away, take it from me
Cuz if you don't, I might drown in it

And I keep tellin' ma, tellin' ma, tellin' myself

That my bad luck's gonna go away
And I keep tryin' and tryin' and try, try to win
But I'm losing every day

I wanna get up and fight, but I don't have the time
I'm too busy feelin' sorry for me
When it looks like the clouds are gone
I wake up, it was just a dream,


It was just a dream,
It was just a dream, it was all a dream

I walk around, cold to the warmth of life


I see ya tryin' to talk, but I'm deaf to lies

Right, I believe in promises of tomorrow
If I don't make it there, know that I'm that sorry, though







Take it away, take it from me
Cuz I really wanna believe
After the rain, someone'll say
There's really more for me......

See, I've been through Hell and I am still yet to come back
There is no conductor to get this on track

I have dreams of freedom from the circumstance I'm in

If it's in His plans for me, then I will win

I'll just dream til' then

I keep tellin' ma, tellin' ma, tellin' myself

That my bad luck's gonna go away

And I keep tryin' and tryin' and try, try to win

But I'm losing every day

I wanna get up and fight,

But I don't have the time

I'm too busy feelin' sorry for me
When it looks like the clouds are gone
I wake up, it was just a dream, it was just a dream
It was just a dream, it was all a dream
It was just a dream

Just A Dream. Jojo. 2010

I'm Ready.

I am ready for love
Why are you hiding from me
I'd quickly give my freedom
To be held in your captivity

I am ready for love
All of the joy and the pain
And all the time that it takes
Just to stay in your good grace
Lately I've been thinking
Maybe you're not ready for me
Maybe you think I need to learn maturity
They say watch what you ask for
Cause you might receive
But if you ask me tomorrow
I'll say the same thing

I am ready for love
Would you please lend me your ear?
I promise I won't complain
I just need you to acknowledge I am here

If you give me half a chance
I'll prove this to you
I will be patient, kind, faithful and true
To a man who loves music
A man who loves art
Respects the spirit world
And thinks with his heart

I am ready for love
If you'll take me in your hands
I will learn what you teach
And do the best that I can

I am ready for love
Here with an offering of
My voice
My Eyes
My soul
My mind

Tell me what is enough
To prove I am ready for love

I am ready...................
