Song Lyrics:

8 Hours I Wait

8 hours I wait

for someone to see me crawl

I want to breathe again

I wait to breathe again


28 more days for this fortune

to take place

that I’m so destined to right now

without anyone


8 hours I wait

for someone to take me from this place

to see where I’ve fallen

where I’ve done no wrong

8 hours I wait


8 hours I wait

for you to take me from this place

so dark so dreary no thought 

no choice to this theory

8 I wait 


8 hours I wait

for someone to take me from this place

to see where I’ve fallen

where I’ve done no wrong

hours I wait


8 hours I wait

from this place

that took me so far

from this time with lace

that hurt me so badly

29, 28 days more

to this haven supposed brazen

to be brought upon me


8 hours I wait for my fate

to my next place 

of no one seeing me for who I am

just a runaway

with no rhyme no reason

is what they tell me I am


So I’ll set here 8 more hours

29 more days then 28 where I’m safe

though the mats are hard

there’s peace and quiet in my mind


8 hours I wait

for someone to take me from this place

to see where I’ve fallen

where I’ve done no wrong

hours I wait


8 hours I wait

for someone to take me from this place

that took me so far

from this time with lace


8 I wait


8 hours I wait


8 hours I wait for someone to take me from this place



“I’m Thinking Again”


Don’t know why I’m thinking

It’s sick if you really think of it

It’s mad for me to stop

And waste so much time

Thinking about you


You left me bruised

You left me torn

I had nowhere to turn

I had nowhere to run


You kept me down

So all alone

I shouldn’t even be

thinking about you


I sit here on the couch

Sad with tears

Alone in my place 


I drink when

there’s no reason

I’m all alone in this place


You left me bruised

You left me torn

I had nowhere to turn

I had nowhere to run

I shouldn’t be thinking about you


When I see you 

I shouldn't want you

But somehow 

my heart aches


Even though you are

standing here right in front of me

Putting me down the same old way


I know pain is only temporary

My heart would heal someday


I just needs to take a chance

Take a breath and walk away


You left me bruised

You left me torn

I had nowhere to turn

I had nowhere to run


You kept me down

So all alone

Maybe I've learned

Finally one more time

Not turn around

When you make you way toward me


I’m thinking again

Again and again and again

I’m thinking again

I’m thinking again

I’m thinking again

Panty Party


Verse

I don’t want to feel bad

From you telling me what to do

Cry from you hitting me

Feeling bad for doing something for me


Chorus

I’d rather be dancing in my panties

With nobody beside me

All alone

It’s my time

It’s a party


Verse

I don’t want to clean for you

I don’t want to cook for you

Wash your clothes, especially you’re underwear

Be your slave like in a Nazi camp


Verse

You can’t touch me if I tell you no

Rape me in that cold day

Take advantage of my tears 

Tell me you love me when you don’t 


Bridge

I don’t have to fight your wars

Just because I think you should

Half the time you don’t know 

What you’re talking about


Chorus

I’d rather be dancing in my panties

With nobody beside me

All alone

It’s my time

It’s a party


Panty party

No men invited

Mom’s Immigrant Abuse #lorijeanfinnila #sexualabuse #westfordma #immigrants

My mother was told while I was tied to our cellar stairs as a toddler that it would be good for her to spend time with, a cop and his friend by them in our small town of Westford, MA in the 60’s. She was an illiterate Portuguese woman with a 4th grade education and with only a green card and sexually abused at 14 in Portugal by her uncle being tied to a chair. Imagine.

Beginning To Feel the Flow Again #lorijeanfinnila #hope #healingjourney #selfphysicaltherapy

 You know abuse might have taken away my hands to write long, my body to move as gracefully in my dance, my mind slow to remember at times, but my body is beginning to feel the flow again: there is hope.

This is a book of poetry through domestic violence that shows the difference in meaning as it entwines all abuse. It brings on a new meaning of domestic violence as it has been portrayed in the past and portrayed at all. It brings in new forms of crime used as retaliation to a women making choices on her own and for innocent children that are dragged into it.

Homeless Theme Flowers in the Dark #flowersinthedark #thegreatestgiftofall #lorijeanfinnila #womenauthor #literature


I just got inspired taking photos in the park to make this a homeless theme. I found a poem I wrote not long ago to add to this seem. Another poetry book? Hmm....

The Greatest Gift of All

I was given the greatest gift of all
I don't smug appearance
Or feel crude or disgust in my mind
When I see a wandering homeless
I was just given the greatest gift of all

Thank you Lord
For taking away my sins
For judging those
Who have less than us
I was just given the greatest gift of all

I can see a human
so great inside
And not fear
with judgment from my soul
I was just given the greatest gift of all

He can walk by me
Sit and eat with me
Live and sleep in my streets
I was just given the greatest gift of all
