"Better Off Dreaming"

This came to me yesterday, and I dedicate it to all the single moms out there who have it hard but work for a better future, wondering and worrying how everything will turn out.

“Better Off Dreaming” by Wayne Johnson
(Dedicated to all single mothers working hard for their children’s future)


This life’s not all she bargained for
Can’t help wanting more than this
As she heads off to a nowhere job
She gives two young kids a kiss

Daylight pierces her broken heart
Refracting as it enters her jaded soul
With every pore crying out
For something more, something whole

She can’t help but feel guilty
For mistakes that haunt her life
What happened to Mr. Forever?
Thought by now she’d be his wife

Trying to forget, she fakes a smile
Handing customers their change
Guess life doesn’t go like you plan it
You know sometimes life is strange

It’s not as if she wants it all
She just needs some sweet relief
And someone to come home to
Who sweeps her off her feet

She hates wanting what she doesn’t have
Just feels stupid when she dreams
She’d cry if any tears were left
Can’t stand it so she screams

God help me, I need it
Am I asking for too much?
Just want a good life for my babies
And a little tender touch
I need something more than
Missing precious days
I just want a little time
To wish the pain away
So if you actually hear me
And if you’re really real
Just do this one thing for me
Can’t stand this hurt I feel

Standing on the edge of her future
She wonders if things will change
As she comes home to a babysitter
Who tells her something strange

Kids called the sitter mommy
When she tucked them in
It hurts so much to hear it
Don’t they know where mommy’s been?

Another day of work is over
A heartbroken mom lies down to sleep
Why think about what’s missing?
Better off dreaming than to weep

Club Song Parody

Here is some of my writing...which I do a fair amount of. Tell me what you think and give me constructive (or not so-contstructive if you wish) criticism.

This is a parody of the sex-soaked dumbass songs of today. So before you call me a sexist, realize it’s only a joke.

Out here at the club you havin’ fun
But you wanna man ‘fore the night is done
I see you lookin’ over my way
Just one thing I gotta say
You lookin’ good, you lookin’ nice
But I don’t do one girl twice
I know I’m in with that wink
So I purchase you a drink
You get up to shake dat ass
When you sexy, who needs class?
We have our fun out on the floor
But you longin’ for the door
Hold up girl, take some time
Let’s dance some more ‘fore we cross that line
Just one hour is way too quick
Wanna catch your name ‘fore you ride my stick
Sometimes wrong can feel so right
So let’s have our fun tonight
I am achin’ to get my nut
Say it’s rare, you ain’t no slut
Girl I’ll believe any word you say
Just so long as I get my way
Little girls wanna ride a pony
But the older girls wanna ride my bony
Count on me to deliver
Pleasure intense that’ll make you shiver
Tomorrow you’ll take a walk of shame
But you won’t forget my name
Don’t get me wrong, don’t be nervous
Wayne Fuckin’ Johnson at your service

(Video for this is funny because I’m a loser in it…she’s winking at well-dressed handsome African-American man behind me and I’m a white guy trying to be black in it, trying too hard and being the total doofy moron. My "singer" persona is called WAY JAY at the beginning little credits of the video)
