You may have noticed that I have no titles for the poems. That is because I believe that each person will have their own interpretation of each. What Im trying to say is that you shoulld create your own title. I hope you enjoy my poetry. Have a blessed life!

Love:
Palms are sweaty
Heart is racing
Walking in circles
Cant stop pacing
Dazed and confused
Never felt like this before
When you hold me
My world is well
Words can never say
How hard I fell
For you I’d do
Everything
What’s wrong with me
I certainly have no clue
Could it be love?
There’s a fire in my heart
That’s burning high
It’s burning for a love that’s true
For a love that is strong
It needs someone
To be there for it
Love it and care for it
Finally, just in time
It found a replacement
Finally
Someone has found a needle
And a thread
They have taken it to my heart
Now I am sewn
Sewn into one heart
That is beating wildly
Many have tried to stitch
However, all have ripped it
Will this one hold
True love is grand
You feel wonderful things
Pass through your mind, heart, and soul
You just know that by one touch
He's the one
You'll last together forever
And you question how could he love me?
How can something so wonderful
Love something so terrible?
I looked into your eyes
and I knew that it was real
Even though it felt like a dream
I alone could find no flaws
When we're together
It seems like time is flying
But way too fast
My love
Can you stop it
So I can see your smile
And fill myself with joy
For just a little longer
My heart is locked
Into one place
And it isn't moving
Loving the same person
It's on a strict lock down
With steel bars
I love the one
Too much
To release my heart
And let it rime free
Isn't it funny.....
How well opposites attract?
How the sun and the moon,
Go hand in hand
There isn't one without the other.
The people who settle down,
The quiet with the loud,
Intelligent with the idiots,
Good with the bad,
And yet
These combinations
Are so compatible
And last forever
Dedicated to my lover!
Some say life is unfair
Because nothing goes their way
Well I know not What you are talking about
Because my life is going well
Since I found a certain someone
And he changed my life forever
And I have learned to live life to the fullest
And to kiss slowly
Hug tightly
And love like you've never been hurt
I've been shot!
By cupids arrow
And I feel so in love
That it's too crazy
To be true
I might be obsessed
With his touch
His kiss
His hugs
His love
But most of all
I love how
He makes me laugh
In the darkest of hours
So many have said "forever"
But none have stayed
I pray that this one is "forever"
I frolic along with my lover
Through a forest with colorful, vibrant leaves
The leaves begin to fall around us
As we stop in front of the largest tree
It is stripped bare of all color
Except one!
One leaf remains
It is the brightest of them all
As we stand there
Blown over with anxiety
While we wait for it to fall
He turns to me and says
“It’s you …stubborn”
I nudge him and lean in for a kiss
Then just as our lips meet
My leaf begins to flutter to the Earth below
Broken Hearts:
Behind every door
There is a secret
Behind every wall
There is something lurking
Behind every girl
There is a strong woman
Behind every boy
There is a sensitive man
Behind every *****
There’s a man
That made her that way
The hardest thing in life is loosing someone
You thought they were gonna be there forever
And sometimes they were all that was keeping you alive
And when they're gone
It's so hard to press on
Because they’re everything
When they leave your world falls apart
And everything seems to be at an end
They were your inspiration
Your strength, your voice, your eyes and ears
They brought out your best when you couldn't find it yourself
They lifted you when your goals seemed untouchable
And they gave you reason to live
You felt as though when your with them
You could fly
They were your all, And now they're gone
Black is the color of my heart
After all my blood has run out
You have stabbed and wounded me T
Time and time again
Finally you can hurt me no longer
For there is nothing left
To look inside myself
Would be pointless
Because of you
There is nothing left
Only Black
When I saw you I knew...
You would be the one
Sparks flew
And angels sang
In harmony with my heart
I fell in love
And you said you did too
We looked like eternal lovers
Until one day
When my world came crashing down
I hardened my heart
And blackened my eyes
Ready to take my own life
If I could stroke your hair once more
If I could taste your lips upon mine
If I could feel your arms hold me tightly
If I had never let you leave
Right now where am I
Due to my past decisions?
I'm in pain
I'm crying myself to sleep
I'm staying up at night
Because I know
You are no longer protecting me
Oh snake of death
Take me now
For I can no longer take this pain
Oh dear powerful snake
Sink your venomous fangs
Into my helpless heart
Death is much less painful
Than the affects of love
All hope is lost
Happiness is no more
Oh snake of death
Take me now
For I can no longer take this pain
Love is only pain
No kindness patience or care
Nor will ever be mine
Dear friends
Do not think less of me
For this is the only solution
Oh snake of death
Take me now
For I can no longer take this pain
Was my existence useful
Or even valuable
Did I make a difference
Will my death change anything
Oh snake of death
Take me now
For I can no longer take this pain
Oh dear powerful snake
Sink your fangs
Into my helpless heart
For I am ready to die
It rakes a minute
To notice somebody
It takes a day
To create a crush for them
It takes a week
To fall in love with them
But it takes a lifetime
To forget them
Some of us
Can't even except
That they were never ours
To begin with
Whenever you truly love someone
The love never goes away
How many Never actually mean it
I always loved.
When I said it
I meant it
I don’t lie
To people that i thought
Deeply cared about me
I never create a lie
I don't break hearts
I love and never lie
Some should follow my example
And they will maybe feel what love actually is
If not then I feel sorry for those people
That go around telling lies
Guys never see
How much girls hurt
Because they are too concerned
With their feeling's
Their problem and issues
That when they have someone good In their arms
They loose her
Break her heart
Just for satisfaction
Words can't explain
How she felt for him
But, actions speak louder than words
And what she did to show
It was
Unbearable
Her love so strong and pure
Unbearable
How much she dedicated to him
So unbearable
How she hid the tears
From all the pain he caused her
Its so unbearable
That she still loves him
How many times...
Can a heart be broken...
Before it shatters?
How many times...
Can it be toyed with..
Before it disintegrates?
How many times...
Can it be cut..
Before it bleeds to death?
How many years..
Will death torture us...
Before it kills us?
How many more months...
Will I survive..
Before I die?
I hope its not long
Because....
How many more hours....
Will it be before....
I take death upon myself?
Worldly:
Help, Help someone’s crying out
They need our help
Why cant we reach out
Why cant we heal
We need to send hope
We need to send peace
Because what happens when it's us
Will we need a hand
Will we need help
Will we need hope
Will we need healing
We wont know until then
So reach out to all
Out in the wilderness
There are mountains
Behind the mountains
There's a beautiful moon
But before the moon can shine
There must be a sun
Looking for hope
There's an empty chair
In an empty land
There's a person
Looking for hope
Instead of waiting
For hope to come to them
Out on the water
Looking past the horizon
Looking for something
That's not around you
But there's still a chance
To find what you are looking for
Beyond the rain
There is a rainbow
Beyond your pain
There is laughter
Beyond the storm
There is a sun
Beyond your sadness
There is happiness
So keep pressing on
It's almost over
You can make it
Down the path
To the sunshine and goodness
Over the river
Through the woods
To the end of the rainbow
There’s a storm
In your life
With powerful waves
And heavy rain
They’re crashing down
Water levels are rising
You’re starting to drown
You loose all hope
Then, a hand reaches out
You grab it
And hold with all you have left
Then you’re pulled to safety
A firm foundation to stand on
There's a fork in the road
And you have to choose
Witch one to take
And witch one to loose
It will take all your strength
And all your good judgment
After all
You never know how strong you are
Until being strong is the only choice you have left
Life is confusing
All of the clicks
All of the drama
Sometimes it's too much
And you overfill
It comes to the point
That you want to die
Because it hurts so much
You try to hide the pain
But your wrist tell everyone
That there is a problem
That there is an issue
And you can't fix it
It started with a pacifier
Then to ribbons and bows
From a tomboy
To a Christian
From a diva
A prep, a Goth, brains
And then no clue
Time flies by
And you loose sight of who you are
So as your life passes you by
Hold on to who you are
And never change
The rage I have is strong
It pulls me into attack
I feel so overwhelmed
I feel like I need to explode
I want to lash out
But before I do
I need some help
With this strong power
This power called rage
I look up at the clouds
At I watch them move
With my every step
It’s like they follow me
Everywhere I go
Then I see a bird souring
I think to myself
I want to be the bird
And I want to sore
Through those clouds
And fly higher
Than anyone has ever gone before
And go places humans would never dare
Along with the clouds
And the birds
Beyond the Horizon
There's a beautiful land
That’s filled with happiness and joy
Love and compassion
It’s a dream
Hard to get there
But it’s worth the journey
Beyond the horizon
Everyday we walk
Into someone’s footsteps
I doesn’t matter who
Our mothers, our fathers
Or our brothers, and sisters
Or even an old, old ancestor
Whoever it is I’m lucky
Because I get to walk
Into your footsteps
When I looked into your eyes
I saw many things
I saw pain, and happiness
Laughter, and sadness
I wish that I could help
You see the way
To complete happiness and laughter
But only you Can lead yourself there
To the long rough road of life
All I hear is blah, blah, blah
And I see the mouth moving
And their faces turning red with anger
They don't understand that
I can't hear them
They can't comprehend that
I don't respond to anger
When will they get
that it takes
A kind and gentle hand
for me to understand them
Our world is a battlefield
One, which we cannot settle
It will go on forever
How will we survive?
Along this fatal battle
Throughout the guns and explosions
There will be moments in which we fail
And in which we prevail
We decide our future
Let us make a strong victory
I'm an American
And I'm proud
Of what this country's become
No matter what is happening now
I will stand strong
Right next to it Singing "Star Spangled Banner"
and supporting our troops
Because if you can't stand beside our troops
Feel free to stand in front of them!
devoted To: Brandon Blackman
Some of us get to the point
That we just give up
And we don't press on
We take away all of our emotions
And we lock them up
At least that what we thought
Until something happens
That one or two of those emotions
Come and creep on you
We think that we'll never be happy again
Because the things that someone did before
When you just give up You loose sight
Of what you were
What you are Or what you wanted to be
Although I may not know you
I know that you have a purpose
On this Earth
And there was a reason that you were born
So don't give up
Press on no matter how bad someone has hurt you
That's the pass and this is the future
You need those emotions
Please don't give up
This world needs you
And also the next to come
Most of us like to jump the gun
And completely forget about tomorrow
We plan so much of what is to come ahead
Instead of just living the moment
It's difficult to notice what is just plainly
Right in front of your face
After you forget what you already have
And solely focus on the future
Whatever is right in front of you
Decides to leave
They live in the moment
So kiss slowly
Love truly
And never look back or past
What’s just in front of you
Today we're young and beautiful
Yesterday we were in diapers
Sucking a pacifier
Tomorrow we'll be off to collage
Waving goodbye
To the people that raised
Sculpted, loved, and nurtured us
Although now it seems like
It's a constant battle between them
But we'll look back
And we'll miss it
All the time we argued
And we fought
And they nagged
So enjoy it now
While we're still young and beautiful
Until the day after tomorrow
Where we're all old and wrinkly
And we can share this advice
With the next generation
African American, Caucasian, Hispanic
Asian, Mexican, Canadian
Arabian, Australian, Brazilian
French, British, Korean
Japanese, Chinese, Latin
Italian or Portages
We're all the same thing:
A human being
We may all look different
Or even talk different
But that doesn't mean
That we need to exclude
Or even reject them
In fact,
The more different they are
the more acceptance
That they should receive
We all feel helpless
From time to time
And we want to do something
But we cant
So they say
We may not be famous
With the good deeds we do
But, shouldn't do good
To only be recognized
Every little thing
Makes more than a difference
Than any of us realize
This world's eyes
Are only half open
They cannot see past
The outward appearance
They become judgmental
And that person
Never gets a chance
To show who they truly are
And only because
They had a speech impediment
The wrong clothes
Or the wrong hair style
How many voices?
Have been silenced because
Thy were too short
Too young
Or too old
Wrong complexion
Wrong race
Or even wrong voice
Let those people's voices be heard
And sprout new ideas
For this nation
Nature's beauty
It's so wonderful
The serenity is so calming
The beauty is so inspiring
And yet,
So much of it is destroyed
Most people
Don't even stop
Just to see
What's all around them
ENDING:
The signs around me, I see
But I try to ignore
I don't trust what they say
I say my way is better
I go back to the way things were
And I won't move on
When I turned around
And I went back
I got hurt once again
Yet I did the same thing over
When will I decide to listen
To everyone else around me
And just move on?
Past my past
And on to the future
And maybe
I will be able to mend my broken heart
Miscellaneous:
It's friends that help you
When your upset...
They comfort you
When your happy...
They're there to share the moment with you
When your hyper...
They cause havoc with you
When your in trouble...
They do the same damn thing so
They can stand there and laugh about it with you!
When you laugh...
Their world is comforted
And they try everything they can to help you Keep that smile on your face.
It's those friends...
That aren't just friends....
They're your family
And you can't help but love them
When you have certain friends,
It's almost like
You can conquer the world
And nothing can stop you
They lift you up so high
The strength that they give you
Is just so amazing
They are so rare
They should be held close and never forgotten
Luckily I know
That mine
Will always stay close to my heart
And will always be there for me
As I am for them
When I'm with them
I forget how small I am
And feel like I am the best and the biggest
That the world has ever seen
I love you guys (BJ, Rina, Alex, And Jessica)
Birthday
It’s your birthday
And we’re so proud
Of the person you’ve become
The person that you are
And the person you will be
So make sure
That you stay that way
So we can enjoy you
For the rest of our lives
And you can be proud
Of who we are
Who we’ve become
And who we’ll be
Christmas
Christmas is a time for giving
Christmas is a time for love
Christmas is a time
That we gather together
And we fellowship with one another
We share our love
And gather around a fire
With hot chocolate
And thank God for
The wonderful people that surround us
Thanksgiving
Pumpkins, turkey, and stuffing
They are all “necessities”
We don’t realize
That it’s more than that
It’s about joining together
So as you feast
Remember me as I remember you
And lets give thanks
That we have each other
I lay in a quiet meadow
Watching the grey clouds roll by
As each passes
I count all the things wrong with me
Rain begins to splash against my tender skin
With each drop I count all that
I have done wrong
The meadow becomes damp
The dark clouds move slower
And still I lay
Watching the rain come down
And the clouds roll by I ask myself…
Why am I here?
You may have noticed that I have no titles for the poems. That is because I believe that each person will have their own interpretation of each. What Im trying to say is that you shoulld create your own title. I hope you enjoy my poetry. Have a blessed life!

Love:
Palms are sweaty
Heart is racing
Walking in circles
Cant stop pacing
Dazed and confused
Never felt like this before
When you hold me
My world is well
Words can never say
How hard I fell
For you I’d do
Everything
What’s wrong with me
I certainly have no clue
Could it be love?
There’s a fire in my heart
That’s burning high
It’s burning for a love that’s true
For a love that is strong
It needs someone
To be there for it
Love it and care for it
Finally, just in time
It found a replacement
Finally
Someone has found a needle
And a thread
They have taken it to my heart
Now I am sewn
Sewn into one heart
That is beating wildly
Many have tried to stitch
However, all have ripped it
Will this one hold
True love is grand
You feel wonderful things
Pass through your mind, heart, and soul
You just know that by one touch
He's the one
You'll last together forever
And you question how could he love me?
How can something so wonderful
Love something so terrible?
I looked into your eyes
and I knew that it was real
Even though it felt like a dream
I alone could find no flaws
When we're together
It seems like time is flying
But way too fast
My love
Can you stop it
So I can see your smile
And fill myself with joy
For just a little longer
My heart is locked
Into one place
And it isn't moving
Loving the same person
It's on a strict lock down
With steel bars
I love the one
Too much
To release my heart
And let it rime free
Isn't it funny.....
How well opposites attract?
How the sun and the moon,
Go hand in hand
There isn't one without the other.
The people who settle down,
The quiet with the loud,
Intelligent with the idiots,
Good with the bad,
And yet
These combinations
Are so compatible
And last forever
Dedicated to my lover!
Some say life is unfair
Because nothing goes their way
Well I know not What you are talking about
Because my life is going well
Since I found a certain someone
And he changed my life forever
And I have learned to live life to the fullest
And to kiss slowly
Hug tightly
And love like you've never been hurt
I've been shot!
By cupids arrow
And I feel so in love
That it's too crazy
To be true
I might be obsessed
With his touch
His kiss
His hugs
His love
But most of all
I love how
He makes me laugh
In the darkest of hours
So many have said "forever"
But none have stayed
I pray that this one is "forever"
I frolic along with my lover
Through a forest with colorful, vibrant leaves
The leaves begin to fall around us
As we stop in front of the largest tree
It is stripped bare of all color
Except one!
One leaf remains
It is the brightest of them all
As we stand there
Blown over with anxiety
While we wait for it to fall

I nudge him and lean in for a kiss
Then just as our lips meet
My leaf begins to flutter to the Earth below
Broken Hearts:
Behind every door
There is a secret
Behind every wall
There is something lurking
Behind every girl
There is a strong woman
Behind every boy
There is a sensitive man
Behind every *****
There’s a man
That made her that way
The hardest thing in life is loosing someone
You thought they were gonna be there forever
And sometimes they were all that was keeping you alive
And when they're gone
It's so hard to press on
Because they’re everything
When they leave your world falls apart
And everything seems to be at an end
They were your inspiration
Your strength, your voice, your eyes and ears
They brought out your best when you couldn't find it yourself
They lifted you when your goals seemed untouchable
And they gave you reason to live
You felt as though when your with them
You could fly
They were your all, And now they're gone
Black is the color of my heart
After all my blood has run out
You have stabbed and wounded me T
Time and time again
Finally you can hurt me no longer
For there is nothing left
To look inside myself
Would be pointless
Because of you
There is nothing left
Only Black
When I saw you I knew...
You would be the one
Sparks flew
And angels sang
In harmony with my heart
I fell in love
And you said you did too
We looked like eternal lovers
Until one day
When my world came crashing down
I hardened my heart
And blackened my eyes
Ready to take my own life
If I could stroke your hair once more
If I could taste your lips upon mine
If I could feel your arms hold me tightly
If I had never let you leave
Right now where am I
Due to my past decisions?
I'm in pain
I'm crying myself to sleep
I'm staying up at night
Because I know
You are no longer protecting me
Oh snake of death
Take me now
For I can no longer take this pain
Oh dear powerful snake
Sink your venomous fangs
Into my helpless heart
Death is much less painful
Than the affects of love
All hope is lost
Happiness is no more
Oh snake of death
Take me now
For I can no longer take this pain
Love is only pain
No kindness patience or care
Nor will ever be mine
Dear friends
Do not think less of me
For this is the only solution
Oh snake of death
Take me now
For I can no longer take this pain
Was my existence useful
Or even valuable
Did I make a difference
Will my death change anything
Oh snake of death
Take me now
For I can no longer take this pain
Oh dear powerful snake
Sink your fangs
Into my helpless heart
For I am ready to die
It rakes a minute
To notice somebody
It takes a day
To create a crush for them
It takes a week
To fall in love with them
But it takes a lifetime
To forget them
Some of us
Can't even except
That they were never ours
To begin with
Whenever you truly love someone
The love never goes away
How many Never actually mean it
I always loved.
When I said it
I meant it
I don’t lie
To people that i thought
Deeply cared about me
I never create a lie
I don't break hearts
I love and never lie
Some should follow my example
And they will maybe feel what love actually is
If not then I feel sorry for those people
That go around telling lies
Guys never see
How much girls hurt
Because they are too concerned
With their feeling's
Their problem and issues
That when they have someone good In their arms
They loose her
Break her heart
Just for satisfaction
Words can't explain
How she felt for him
But, actions speak louder than words
And what she did to show
It was
Unbearable
Her love so strong and pure
Unbearable
How much she dedicated to him
So unbearable
How she hid the tears
From all the pain he caused her
Its so unbearable
That she still loves him
How many times...
Can a heart be broken...
Before it shatters?
How many times...
Can it be toyed with..
Before it disintegrates?
How many times...
Can it be cut..
Before it bleeds to death?
How many years..
Will death torture us...
Before it kills us?
How many more months...
Will I survive..
Before I die?
I hope its not long
Because....
How many more hours....
Will it be before....
I take death upon myself?
Worldly:
Help, Help someone’s crying out
They need our help
Why cant we reach out
Why cant we heal
We need to send hope
We need to send peace
Because what happens when it's us
Will we need a hand
Will we need help
Will we need hope
Will we need healing
We wont know until then
So reach out to all
Out in the wilderness
There are mountains
Behind the mountains
There's a beautiful moon
But before the moon can shine
There must be a sun
Looking for hope
There's an empty chair
In an empty land
There's a person
Looking for hope
Instead of waiting
For hope to come to them
Out on the water
Looking past the horizon
Looking for something
That's not around you
But there's still a chance
To find what you are looking for
Beyond the rain
There is a rainbow
Beyond your pain
There is laughter
Beyond the storm
There is a sun
Beyond your sadness
There is happiness
So keep pressing on
It's almost over
You can make it
Down the path
To the sunshine and goodness
Over the river
Through the woods
To the end of the rainbow
There’s a storm
In your life
With powerful waves
And heavy rain
They’re crashing down
Water levels are rising
You’re starting to drown
You loose all hope
Then, a hand reaches out
You grab it
And hold with all you have left
Then you’re pulled to safety
A firm foundation to stand on
There's a fork in the road
And you have to choose
Witch one to take
And witch one to loose
It will take all your strength
And all your good judgment
After all
You never know how strong you are
Until being strong is the only choice you have left
Life is confusing
All of the clicks
All of the drama
Sometimes it's too much
And you overfill
It comes to the point
That you want to die
Because it hurts so much
You try to hide the pain
But your wrist tell everyone
That there is a problem
That there is an issue
And you can't fix it
It started with a pacifier
Then to ribbons and bows
From a tomboy
To a Christian
From a diva
A prep, a Goth, brains
And then no clue
Time flies by
And you loose sight of who you are
So as your life passes you by
Hold on to who you are
And never change
The rage I have is strong
It pulls me into attack
I feel so overwhelmed
I feel like I need to explode
I want to lash out
But before I do
I need some help
With this strong power
This power called rage
I look up at the clouds
At I watch them move
With my every step
It’s like they follow me
Everywhere I go
Then I see a bird souring
I think to myself
I want to be the bird
And I want to sore
Through those clouds
And fly higher
Than anyone has ever gone before
And go places humans would never dare
Along with the clouds
And the birds
Beyond the Horizon
There's a beautiful land
That’s filled with happiness and joy
Love and compassion
It’s a dream
Hard to get there
But it’s worth the journey
Beyond the horizon
Everyday we walk
Into someone’s footsteps
I doesn’t matter who
Our mothers, our fathers
Or our brothers, and sisters
Or even an old, old ancestor
Whoever it is I’m lucky
Because I get to walk
Into your footsteps
When I looked into your eyes
I saw many things
I saw pain, and happiness
Laughter, and sadness
I wish that I could help
You see the way
To complete happiness and laughter
But only you Can lead yourself there
To the long rough road of life
All I hear is blah, blah, blah
And I see the mouth moving
And their faces turning red with anger
They don't understand that
I can't hear them
They can't comprehend that
I don't respond to anger
When will they get
that it takes
A kind and gentle hand
for me to understand them
Our world is a battlefield
One, which we cannot settle
It will go on forever
How will we survive?
Along this fatal battle
Throughout the guns and explosions
There will be moments in which we fail
And in which we prevail
We decide our future
Let us make a strong victory
I'm an American
And I'm proud
Of what this country's become
No matter what is happening now
I will stand strong
Right next to it Singing "Star Spangled Banner"
and supporting our troops
Because if you can't stand beside our troops
Feel free to stand in front of them!
devoted To: Brandon Blackman
Some of us get to the point
That we just give up
And we don't press on
We take away all of our emotions
And we lock them up
At least that what we thought
Until something happens
That one or two of those emotions
Come and creep on you
We think that we'll never be happy again
Because the things that someone did before
When you just give up You loose sight
Of what you were
What you are Or what you wanted to be
Although I may not know you
I know that you have a purpose
On this Earth
And there was a reason that you were born
So don't give up
Press on no matter how bad someone has hurt you
That's the pass and this is the future
You need those emotions
Please don't give up
This world needs you
And also the next to come
Most of us like to jump the gun
And completely forget about tomorrow
We plan so much of what is to come ahead
Instead of just living the moment
It's difficult to notice what is just plainly
Right in front of your face
After you forget what you already have
And solely focus on the future
Whatever is right in front of you
Decides to leave
They live in the moment
So kiss slowly
Love truly
And never look back or past
What’s just in front of you
Today we're young and beautiful
Yesterday we were in diapers
Sucking a pacifier
Tomorrow we'll be off to collage
Waving goodbye
To the people that raised
Sculpted, loved, and nurtured us
Although now it seems like
It's a constant battle between them
But we'll look back
And we'll miss it
All the time we argued
And we fought
And they nagged
So enjoy it now
While we're still young and beautiful
Until the day after tomorrow
Where we're all old and wrinkly
And we can share this advice
With the next generation
African American, Caucasian, Hispanic
Asian, Mexican, Canadian
Arabian, Australian, Brazilian
French, British, Korean
Japanese, Chinese, Latin
Italian or Portages
We're all the same thing:
A human being
We may all look different
Or even talk different
But that doesn't mean
That we need to exclude
Or even reject them
In fact,
The more different they are
the more acceptance
That they should receive
We all feel helpless
From time to time
And we want to do something
But we cant
So they say
We may not be famous
With the good deeds we do
But, shouldn't do good
To only be recognized
Every little thing
Makes more than a difference
Than any of us realize
This world's eyes
Are only half open
They cannot see past
The outward appearance
They become judgmental
And that person
Never gets a chance
To show who they truly are
And only because
They had a speech impediment
The wrong clothes
Or the wrong hair style
How many voices?
Have been silenced because
Thy were too short
Too young
Or too old
Wrong complexion
Wrong race
Or even wrong voice
Let those people's voices be heard
And sprout new ideas
For this nation
Nature's beauty
It's so wonderful
The serenity is so calming
The beauty is so inspiring
And yet,
So much of it is destroyed
Most people
Don't even stop
Just to see
What's all around them
ENDING:
The signs around me, I see
But I try to ignore
I don't trust what they say
I say my way is better
I go back to the way things were
And I won't move on
When I turned around
And I went back
I got hurt once again
Yet I did the same thing over
When will I decide to listen
To everyone else around me
And just move on?
Past my past
And on to the future
And maybe
I will be able to mend my broken heart

Birthday
It’s your birthday
And we’re so proud
Of the person you’ve become
The person that you are
And the person you will be
So make sure
That you stay that way
So we can enjoy you
For the rest of our lives
And you can be proud
Of who we are
Who we’ve become
And who we’ll be
Christmas
Christmas is a time for giving
Christmas is a time for love
Christmas is a time
That we gather together
And we fellowship with one another
We share our love
And gather around a fire
With hot chocolate
And thank God for
The wonderful people that surround us
Thanksgiving
Pumpkins, turkey, and stuffing
They are all “necessities”
We don’t realize
That it’s more than that
It’s about joining together
So as you feast
Remember me as I remember you
And lets give thanks
That we have each other
I lay in a quiet meadow
Watching the grey clouds roll by
As each passes
I count all the things wrong with me
Rain begins to splash against my tender skin
With each drop I count all that
I have done wrong
The meadow becomes damp
The dark clouds move slower
And still I lay
Watching the rain come down
And the clouds roll by I ask myself…
Why am I here?
