Starlight Might Kiss Me

I was thinkin that I might drown,
If I don't get these feet on the ground.
You  know those dreams,
With the bad disposition?
All the searchin and all the missin you?
Well, I do too.

This holy ground is sinking in,
And I'm so lost in sin.
I gravitate to pills and whiskey,
Hoping someday that starlight might kiss me.
Starlight might kiss me.

I suck in the moonbeams,
Breathe out the sun.
I don't believe in my own shit that I've done.
I've claimed it in darkness.
Spoke it to life.
Turned around and thought that it'd all be alright.

All the pretty faces and sweet perfume,
Permeate every single room.
Oh, Oh...
Cheap guitars and shaking hands,
Still don't change a thing about who I am.

I was thinking that I might drown,
If I don't get these feet back on holy ground.

Somewhere In The Middle Of Nowhere

She says she don't drink with a beer in her hand.
She cries when she's lonely, but don't need a man.
Wine in a mason jar,
Pills for her nerves.
She'll go out fighting if the world don't kill her first.

Meanwhile she raises hell.
And she plays her cards very well.
She's old enough to know better, but way too young to care.
And sometimes she feels like she's somewhere,
In the middle of nowhere.

She says she likes summer while smiling in the snow.
She wants to head west, but this place is all that she knows.
A suitcase she never really uses,
Starting a collection of dust, dreams, and wishes.

She sets in the sun in her worn out jeans.
Bites her tongue so she don't scream.
But, Lord Jesus, she knows she'll be just fine.
Sometimes the stars set just right,
But sometimes they need realigned.

She says she don't drink with a beer in her hand.

Let's Not Forget...

For all of my new followers, old friends, and future friends. For all of the ones who know of The Dreamcatchers and for all of the ones who are just hearing about them. Let us not forget Awakening Iris as we are approaching the release date of the second to the series, Sparks Ignite. Through Awakening Iris you will step into a world of love and hate, defeat, and defense, loss, and hope. You can freely roam the mind of the broken, innocent, dreamy, magnetic, creative, adoring, slightly paranoid, and amusingly neurotic woman that this book is based around, Iris herself. Ride through the roller coaster relationship that she has with her mysterious Stranger, Jason Stone.
 
Then afterwards you can discuss it publicly with me and others if you want! I'd love to chat! You can read it, rate it, and show it a little love:)
 
And get ready for the soon to be released second book of the series Sparks Ignite (The Dreamcatchers Saga #2) and get into the head of my endearing roamers brother, Ian Stone. This humorous, unfiltered, loose tongued, non- caring, yet extremely loving guy will win the heart of a million girls <3 Look here for the soon to be posting of the book cover itself!
 
Until then, grab a copy of Awakening Iris on paperback, Kindle, or Nook now at cressenbooks.com. Then hit me up!

Hide Your Crown

It's getting late,
Down by the fireside.
There's no mistake,
The wild in your eyes.
So just be brave,
And don't look down.
Don't save face,
And hide your crown.

So get on up,
When you've been let down.
Your wind's knocked out.
Who'll save you now?
I don't know if you're right,
But you're gonna win.
You'll die trying,
We're all born in sin.

It's getting bright,
And dawn is breaking.
Your heart is ours,
For the taking.
So set aside,
What you ever wanted.
You've been brought down,
Destroyed and hunted.

It seems there's more to lose than to gain.
The queen's been marred, scarred, and slain.
And it all feels like you're insane.
It's a state of mind.
There's no shame.

Just be brave,
And don't look down.
Don't save face,
And hide your crown.
So get on up,
When you've been let down.
Your wind's knocked out.
Who'll save you now?

I couldn't sleep the other night and before I knew it there was a tune playing in my head. So I start humming, and then words started forming and I started singing. At 2 a.m. I picked up my pen and started writing in my bed with a scrap of paper and flashlight. This is what I created. I hope you like it.

It can represent you or me, our children, friends, or neighbors. Because really we all have our own problems, our own trails. Sometimes the wind is taken out of you. Sometimes if feels like the world has turned against you and that you are all alone. Sometimes it feels like you are being destroyed and other people just laugh and stare and leave you to die, because it doesn't effect them, so they don't care. And sometimes you do have to save yourself. Sometimes only you can get yourself back up.

Don't look down. Don't save face. And don't hide your crown. Don't let them take it away. Get up and stand for what is yours, for what you believe, for strangers, or the people you love, and for what is right. Even if you are the only one.
