Emotion & Imagination
The feeling deep inside Is one I wish to hide It makes me feel high as a kite Then brings me town in it's grip so tight It gives me hope and joy And yet it is a decoy The real thing is much different than this fake that one I feel I only hope the scars it caused will soon heal I am tired of feeling lost And failing in everything I do is too big a cost I find that keeping it inside is the last thing I should do It is not an emotion but rather an imagination untrue It leaps just out of my reach every time The pain it puts in my heart is a most severe crime The feeling that is calling from the depths of my being Is something that you're just not seeing I wish you could see Just how deep it's buried in me But because of the things we said and things we didn't From you it will always be completely hidden I wish to show you This feeling that's to me so new But unlike you I am not smart And don't have any idea where to start There are things about me you don't know To you these things I wish to show But how can one whose hurt so deep Utter even a single peep That relates to what she wants to share When she has no idea if you even really care To tell is to reopen a wound When I'd rather stay in my safe cocoon But eventually when we are past all this I want to show you what you missed I want to tell you how much it hurts But I have no idea what are the right words Would you care if I tried Would you listen if I cried There are things I wish to tell you Things that matter and feelings so new But because of what we've been through I am at a loss of what to do Seeing no end to bitterness and hate For a happy ending should I wait Or is there nothing future for us Have we for each other lost all trust That's why friends is all we can be Promising I'll never hear our, us, nor we. I wish to hear your voice in my ear soft as a dove Saying you'll always treasure my love. My heart aches for those precious words You have no idea how much it hurts I am sort of glad that you don't know Too many emotions I'd rather not show However if you care enough to ask I'd make it my top priority and task To tell what is wrong with me To help you understand and see I talk to others yet to you I can't I wish I have never given up on you a Godly man When one feels inferior; like they won't ever be enough On the outside is only pretending to be tough But inside crying for the one that she let go And this is something he will NEVER know |
Did You Hear?
Did you hear the wind whistle through the grass Did you hear the buzzing bees as they protect their honey stash These sounds are perfect & each is unique Made by a God with patient technique Did you hear the baby bird as it broke through it's shell Did you hear the soft swish of the snowflake as it fell So small & quiet yet marvelous Created by a God with almighty benevolence Did you hear the woodpecker knock on the tree Did you hear the river hit the rocks on its trip to the sea These sounds are a little louder but are still ignored Placed into a masterpiece designed by the Lord Did you hear the song as the rain came down Did you hear the swaying of the rose petal as it drifted to the ground A greatness found in things small & subtle Pieces of creation amazingly beautiful Did you hear these sounds I perfected for you Or are they to your hears something brand new Did you hear these sounds I fashioned with precise attention These tiny examples of My vast creation Did you hear the flowing of my love Did you listen to my answer from Heaven above I know your heart is hurting and you're full of grief & pain Did you hear that by sending my one and only Son I washed away your every stain Did you hear you are forgiven & you will find hope in me Did you hear that I am all you need I gaze at that I've established on this earth But you my child and all people possess the greatest worth Silence
Silence Yes that's me But silent isn't what I want to be It's much too empty and way too still But make of it what you will Silence isn't always bad But not much silence have I ever had But when I am silent I begin to think And my mind becomes a fountain of ink Ideas burst forth with increasing speed And I am handed each puzzle piece that I need Love & war; Truth & lies Passion & sunset skies Emotion and feeling each poem must form Something far outside the norm Where fantasy meets reality and the 2 become 1 The I know my reader I have won So silent yes that's me And I now I hope you understand & now I hope you see Freedom
Fought for by women Fought for by men Now knowing how or when These terrible wars will end Families broken & weak From the bravest to the meek The future unclear and uncertain Home to their loved ones or curtain But this we must remember and hold close to our hearts That those men and women did their parts They fought for peace in strife So we could have a freer life |
Passion
Is there any part of you however small That says that you love me at all? The fires of passion we once had have dimmed The times we spend talking have once more been trimmed You look into my eyes and I look into yours Our hearts were once combined into one that was called ours We need to re-light our fire We need to shoot for goals that are higher And all it takes for this to occur is us both to do our part And then maybe someday we will once again be joined heart to heart |
Marriage
True love Innocent dove That's how it does start Tying a knot heart to heart Hard to build Easy to break Love brutally killed No more give only take Some end in tears Some last for years Whatever the case Marriage is the place Where safe should be real And both should feel Loved and trusted Not hated and busted Holding her/him close Lips to lips and nose to nose Holding the other's hand Godly Woman and Godly Man Share a bond tight And with God in the middle 100% right |
ADHD
I am ADHD Can't you see I am here I am weird I am loud I am proud I have racing thoughts I have lots and lots I talk and talk I walk and walk I can't sit still I can't wait til I have to go I have to know I have to stay I have to say I am ADHD Can't you see I am loud and proud I am attracted to every sight and sound I love life I hate strife I am happy and glad I am depressed and sad I have to say Please stay I don't know why I know I'm not shy I love squirrels I hate quarrels I talk and walk I lost my sock and broke the lock I ate a taco I want a nacho I have a fish Make a wish Here's to you Where's my shoe I ate a worm It made me squirm I have a train of thought That is never caught I am here then there I am everywhere Bouncing off the walls Oh look the phone calls I am ADHD Can't you see |
The Heart
The heart is a grand thing And from it do our emotions sing Weighed down by sadness Or uplifted by gladness However what it tells is not always true And I know this for certain I promise I do. Our heart tells us he or she is the one And that nothing else matters til the day is done. It tells you to go and do what you wish But sometimes the ideas of our hearts are rotten as fish We have to learn to discern When to listen to the answer for which we yearn There are things we want and things that we don't And the wisdom to decide which we will and which we won't You can't always listen To the heart that you're given Cause just as those we love the most can deceive So can the wishes of our heart to which we so desperately cleave You have to believe, trust, and know That what is right God will to you eventually show. He knows the deepest desire of your heart But knows that there are things from which you should stay apart He will give you what a loving father should And nothing that will from Him keep you hid. My heart has recently betrayed me And the reason is hard to see. I know that there are times when our minds deceive our hearts But now that we know each part of us plays their parts. We must turn to God when our heart and mind put a choice in our way And ask ourselves what would God say? I had my heart set on something and realize now that things our heart tells us are often not what they seem I now understand what “getting your heart broken” does mean Though neither meant to do so it happened and will happen again Nothing can mend the heart except our Father in Heaven. Turn to him when your heart places before you a choice And drown out all the other things making the noise. Ask God to show you His way And ask yourself what would God say? |
A Friendship Real & True
Sweet and gentle is your manner Honest and kind reads your banner You're genuine and true Greater friends no one knew I am blessed beyond compare And have no better people elsewhere You gave me hope when I had all but lost it You put up with my every fit I threw them a lot and yes This kind of thing I do need to address But for now all I can say Is that I am grateful for each and every day That I have with you Because no one else can be as true You have a soul that endures a lot of junk And yet you are just so full of spunk You have big hearts Your beauty and smiles included in a museum of arts You are selfless beyond measure Even when under gobs of pressure You give and forgive Everyday that you live Without expecting anything back The things you do with love never lack This year has been hard in so many ways And yet you are the reason I got up most days I have been down and full of sorrow But you helped me believe there would be a tomorrow I lost faith in God more than once or twice Yet you guys reminded me of His wonderful size I had times when I doubted He was even real But you showed me that His love I can always feel I knew that times would come when the disbelief would settle in And yet you showed me that I can always win Any trouble I face and battle I fight I know that the end is in sight Because you gave me hope when I had none With you I know that I have already won The greatest friendship that one could ever have and cherish Is the one I have with you two that will never perish I know that times will be hard and you won't always be right here And yet I know in my heart you'll stay very near. You love me for me and that I rarely hear And just knowing that makes me shed a small joyful tear But not of sorrow and not of doubt Because with you most troubles I am without I now am by negative things spared Because I have two people who show me that they truly do care I know that things are going to be tough And that the journey of life is really rough However the feeling of happiness I feel when I'm around you Fills me with warmth through and through I am so lucky to have found real people like you Who love me and my weirdness too I know that most of the time I am annoying and talk too much And all it is, is such and such There are things I wish I could have done better And things I know would have been a better situation settler Like I said before you gave me a second chance at life And helped me through great amounts of trouble and strife I wouldn't be who I am without you and all you did Without your love and your support I would have just hid I did that most of the time And yet I sometimes felt like a mime However all I did was go through the motions Most of the time I let my life be run by my emotions But thanks to you I know that my future will be bright And that everything will eventually turn out just right I fell away from God but you helped me find the way again Now that is what I call a true friend I hope to have you as my friends for as long as God wills And every blessing that He instills I hope that you will never forget Just how much your friendship has meant I will never forget what happened this year And how you helped dry my every tear I am up and moving forward each morning Because you both have helped me with more than one caring warning I have found no one greater in all my years That was willing to stick with me and help me face all my fears You will never leave me and now this I know Because I finally realize that what you mean you show I am learning to discern when you're being serious and when you're pulling my leg And in your side sometimes I'm sure I seem like a wooden peg I am beginning to tell the difference and for that I am proud I can now sound more like you when I'm talking so loud I don't know if this stuff makes sense But that's what happens when I get a second chance I have found that putting my feelings into words of rhyme Gives me some memorable time I have the chance to tell you just what makes you so true And what I have to say to that is that you're just being you I hope we stay friends forever and I never lose sight Of the two who helped me finally find right |

Hey today was fun and interesting I was loud and you were determining What was I like was it all true Would I be awful and make you blue How is it that you came and weren't afraid Why is it that I paid I am a giving person and care more than some might think I laugh and cry I say goodbye But I am not a jinx and goodbye means Thanks You're funny and kind And my talking you don't mind Your ears are attached and I haven't thrown a hissy My brother is very protective of his sissy But he trusts me and I'm sure he would like you.

Without it we have nothing With it we have something Truth defines you Frees or binds you Gives you a sense of peace And the burden of sin does ease Nothing without truth is right And nothing is hidden from God's sight One day all the lies told by you and me Will be there for the world to see Not knowing how or why or when Your own life will end You have an opportunity now To tell God the truth and how You can be an honest person And that His son Jesus is the reason The Gospel that is written in God's holy book Gives a chance for a closer look We have no guarantee of tomorrow So now is the time to stop out lying and prevent anymore sorrow Tell the truth and you will surely see How much freer you will be So follow the narrow way And by telling the truth give God praise and glory everyday Auto-Bio Poem
-Michaela Passionate, talkative, confident, and weird Daughter of Delores; sister of Riley Lover of poetry, kids, Abe Lincoln, the Civil War, and Sign Language Who feels bubbly and energetic, a desire to be me, sad when there is hurt and pain Who needs to feel safe, to have support from my family and friends, and to be a individual Who gives encouragement, time and love Who fears betrayal, isolation, and abuse Who would like to see my other siblings, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and the end of abortion everywhere Who lives in Geneva, Nebraska, but wants to live in either Germany or Italy -Hartman Great Guy

A decision for living Your life to God giving Into the water is the immersion But this is just outer diversion Devotion and Loyalty Trouble and Strife These are all part of a Christian's life This is the greatest choice you'll ever make It is a worthwhile risk to take Devotion to God is the key And following Jesus to eternity |
Tomorrow
Some days are always full of sorrow And the only hope to which we somewhat cling Is the clean slate of tomorrow And the joy that it will bring We face temptation and sin We fight for our lives and hold to our beliefs But how can we win When our judgment is clouded with griefs Where is the hope that the little girl sang of in Annie Where is the strength to wipe away the cobwebs and sorrow How to see past the griefs that are too many Where is our great tomorrow We can't say we didn't try cause that isn't true We fought for some sense of peace But still our favorite colors are gray and blue I wish these trials would cease Why keep trying if they will never fade Why keep fighting if it's all in vain Why in the shadows we should not have stayed Because we know that Jesus is coming again The reason we must keep going The reason there is no option to give up Is because of the one and only son of God who knew exactly what he was doing The temptations and the devil can just shut up We have the strength through Christ to be free We have the courage of steel We have the chance of eternity And this happiness and safety we one day shall feel Dreams
Wonderful thoughts of endless wonder. Flashy as lightning Loud as thunder. Big or Small No limit at all To the ends of the earth and farther beyond Nothing is impossible with God Loving Too Soon
He took me by surprise and made me happy It'd taken him almost 20 years to find me I woke up each morning full of laughter and smiles Receiving texts from him making life worthwhile One day I said three very precious words Risking the possibility of pain and hurt At first he said it back without hesitation This built to an even greater sensation But then one night I had a dream I knew it wasn't as perfect as it seemed My heart was pained when I got up that day For I knew exactly what he was going to say Our dreams are what is in our subconscious And often include the right and wrong of our conscience I knew in sleep just as I knew while awake That this was going to be one painful regrettable mistake This is going to fast for me and we need to stop At first it was alright but now it is not I say there stunned, confused, and in tears Facing one of my biggest fears I don't understand why it hurts this bad Gaining and losing a boyfriend that quickly was sad I still love him today but only as a friend Because I now know and trust God to see me through to the end |
God's Seed
Lord you planted in me a seed I allowed the world in and instead raised a weed It wasn't to You at all fair Especially since you had told me to treat it with care I wallowed in wealth and sexual sin But the growth of the weed had only just started to begin I felt no conscience if I even had one I was buying my time and enjoying the fun The fun sure was great And every night I had a new date That little seed intended for good Caused me more trouble than I could have imagined it would A new day came and of course like the rest I hung out with the worst of the “best” But something was different and a little strange There was a throbbing sensation all over my brain This isn't right something is bad Why is it raining? Did I make God sad? That question came out of nowhere yet had a valid point What happened to the girl whom God did anoint? He gave me a seed to care for and cultivate And yet my choice was to procrastinate I chose to be in with the fun and the games But in this crowd you'll find the names Greed, and Jealousy, Lust and Spite You will also find the opposite of light There is no good in this circle of humans We all make mistakes our lives turn to ruins God however is forgiving and loves His little children he created innocent as doves We weren't made to sin Yet this is what we choose and with that none shall win He gave us a choice He's not a dictator He loves us so much and reminds me of Darth Vader What is Vader's famous line? “I am your father!” Now God as well is saying you're mine But why do we run Why do we choose the things that seem to be fun? Because on the outside their look is appealing But once your in you get the queer feeling That what you chose will bring you down And now no more smiles only a frown You realize that you've chosen wrong But how to get back how to once again become strong The answer to that my friend and my foe Is one that you and I already know It's ingrained in our memory from so long ago The one who truly loves you will always show He is never late and always on time And He will always be whispering “I love you and you're mine.” |

Spread Your Wings
Your hair is flowing in the wind The sun has kissed your cheeks You raise your arms up to the sky Embracing your uniqueness as you do Like an eagle you can soar above the clouds Your spirit is free to fly away To pursue your hopes and dreams And not be bound by earthly chains Striving for goals held close to your heart Holding tight to your many aspirations You seek opportunity to use your gifts To fulfill a God-given purpose Spread your wings child and soar No limits can hold you nor barriers restrict you Embrace your beauty and all things true You can and you will achieve greatness Once you take off who knows where you'll go When you hold fast to your hopes Don't forget as your fly who made you who you are Embrace it my child spread your wings Champion

Kryptonite Friend

Humor me
Strongly serious Yet extremely hilarious Eating my food When I can't quit finish Don't care about germs What if I had worms Ur stubborn and pig-headed But at least you like bacon Roses are red Violets are blue Poems are hard Especially about you |
Love Is More
Love is more than hugs and kisses Love is more than dreams and wishes Love can make or break your day Love can take your breath away It must be given so as to receive Love will come if you only believe Love is something if you give it away But amounts to nothing any other way I long for love from the one who's mine And I know that he will come in time But as I wait and ponder such I know that God cares oh so much I know that the clock for me when strike at 12 Or even 3 But still I wait and know for sure That God is waiting for me to mature At eleven or so the clock may strike And then I know the time is right God has finished up in Heaven writing my love story And it then I'll be given God is more than hugs and kisses God is more than dreams and wishes God can make or break your day God can take your breath away My time will come but not too soon God knows just what He's doing And that day will come and grand it will be To have and to hold for eternity God is more than hugs and kisses God is more than dreams and wishes God can make or break your day God can take your breath away |

My Heart Cries Why?
My heart is heavy with sadness and love It used to be light as the feather of a dove But recently things have changed And I feel really strange. I never really have any friends And that makes most things have miserable ends I hope and pray that I will understand If not now then someday. I want to be the person who everyone loves. I want to be gentle as the morning doves. So far those to whom I most long to be close Act like I'm some kind of medicine overdose. My heart cries WHY?! It makes no sense to me. I know I am more than ordinary I am weird and funny Never quiet and never shy, But still my heart cries why?! Friends are those who care the most But that would mean my mom is the host Of the Michaela fan club If there is such a thing She is the only member with a loyalty ring She loves and loves with no holding back Why is everyone else so off track You are my friends at least that's how I see it. But you don't take part I am not an idiot If you wanted to be As close to me As I want to be to you Then you would have already shown me the truth I love you and want to be there for you like you have been for me However you are handicapping me. I cannot do things that encourage you without your approval Then why am I trying to make it possible? Don't you see how much you mean to me? Don't you know without you where I'd be? In a world of immorality and sin I know I can count on you to help me win. However at this point I doubt What is this distance between all about? You say you care and will never leave Yet I feel there is something you're hiding up in your sleeve How can I know for sure that you mean what you say Cause it seems everyday you drift further away. I know that I am annoying and talk more than a Parrot But seeing your expression now makes it apparent How you really feel is not what you say You would rather not give me the time of day. I know this sounds stupid and definitely sad But I really do feel this bad. My God above please hear the cry My heart is releasing WHY?! The Old Lady
Her hands may be old Her wrinkled face may be cold Hair of snow white tint Blue eyes with crystal glint Still her heart is young And expells deep breaths from each lung |
Stallion

First it’s just a flutter You feel it in your stomach Then it becomes a fire Burning brighter each day You wake up thinking of them Their smile and their eyes You go to sleep dreaming of them Their love and their loyalty They make you smile When rain clouds you They make you laugh When you’re scared You can’t help but include them Saying their name all the time You can’t help but think about them Thoughts of wonder and awe You’re slowing growing closer Becoming more attracted A feeling you’ve never had before You’re steadily falling in love Love hits you when you least expect it Making your heart beat faster Love shows itself to be beautiful Causing your breath to quicken To fall in love is to choose a certain person To fall in love is to find a happiness so pure You fall in love with their smile and laugh You fall in love with their comfort and care You fell in love yesterday You are together today You hold tight to them for tomorrow Falling in love is inevitable |
A Child's Prayer
From my mouth in a whisper Came a small and hesitant prayer I folded my hands and closed my eyes Talked to my God on high Lord please watch over Daddy in the war Bring my Daddy home his absence to be no more I miss his stories and his funny laugh Riding bikes and sailing ships in my bubble bath The day he left I began to cry All I wanted was for Daddy not to die Mommy told me to be brave As the plane took off I waved God I've tried so hard to trust you But it's not any easy thing to do One day with a letter in hand mommy closed the door Before she opened it, she knelt down on the floor As she started reading it she began to cry I was so confused and asked Mommy why She said daddy was gone I yelled and said that she was wrong God, you said you’d watch over him And that he’d come home to us again How can I be brave? With my daddy in his grave |

Though I stumble and though I fall I am always forgiven Though I sin and fall short For God I'm daily living Though I fell in purity I now reclaim it Though I fell in honesty I will now I admit Though I'm imperfect I serve a perfect God Though I don't know my future My God knows everything Though I question Him God keeps loving me Though I've been abused God Almighty has erased my past Though I've hurt the ones I love God softens their hearts Though I stumble and though I fall God forgives me and claims me as His own Crossed A Line
I asked for advice which you freely gave It's my relationship not yours so why'd you invade Russ is dating me not you so why You crossed a line, got involved in what is mine I hate that you did this to me What kind of friend are you supposed to be The pain I feel at this goes quite deep Now all I can do is weep and weep Where is the guy friend who's been there for me Who was there for me for everything This jerk that you've become isn't cool Does being your friend make me a fool I don't know what to say or do How can I still trust you On Friday you'll do a huge favor for me But please leave my relationship with my boyfriend be Nature in Perspective
A mossy oak stands atop the hill Looking into the depths of the valley So full of beauty and so full of life From the birds in the trees And the fish in the river To the tops of mountains and beyond All nature is perfectly in sync Lord thank you for this beauty I see |
Divine Design
A gleaming star in the night A babe's cry in the stable Christ the Lord is born In the temple teaching The leaders in awe God's plan began to unfold Walking along the shore Calling some disciples They followed without question Five loaves and two fish Thousands of people hungry Gave thanks and had plenty Pharisees offended and mad Tried repeatedly to trick Jesus Jesus turned it back on them Jesus loves the little children Welcoming them into His arms The Kingdom of Heaven belongs to them Love god with all your heart All your mind, soul, and strength This is the Greatest Command Adulterous woman thrown at His feet Cast the first stone if you are without sin Everyone left; woman go and sin no more Praying in the garden of Gethsemane A group of soldiers led by Judas Christ Jesus was arrested and taken away Peter questioned about Jesus Denied him three times Then the cock crowed Brought before Pilate No fault did Pilate find So he washed his hands of Christ Crown of thorns upon his head Whips gashing His flesh Beating and bruising the Son of God A cross carried by Simon To a place called Golgotha There Jesus would be crucified Nails driven through His hands and feet The cross lifted up and set God's one and only Son suffering People spitting, mocking, and laughing While our Savior bled and cried Forgive them they know not what they do Wine and vinegar touched to His lips It is finished He cried out Then Christ the Lord took His last breath His disciples took Him down from the cross Wrapped cloth around his body Then in a tomb they laid the Lord Three days later an angel proclaimed He is not here for He has risen Rejoice today and be glad Christ the Lord is risen He now sits at God's right hand Until the designated day and hour We're free from sin because of Him The gift of free-will God gave to us I choose the one who shed his blood in love |
To Grasp Freedom or Not To Grasp Freedom
Freedom a word that carries great meaning Yet many know not what the value of it is We fight for it daily yet have no idea of the magnitude However the matter of fact that none fully knoweth Just what a gift, A blessing it is Daily we fight for our right To worship, to speak & for many years to vote Yet after fighting for so long to vote how many actually take advantage of this? School shootings are occurring more than ever before Yet our choices is to outlaw guns instead of taking care of the real problem We protect our president, police and other officers, “important people with guns Yet protect our kids with signs that say, “No guns allowed!” What good does it do if we do not take a look at every aspect of our freedom See where we are really going wrong? Possessing great value yet refusing to use it Is to throw it in the trash or down the drain What are we doing to show that we fully comprehend this gift, this sacrifice? We don’t have it because we deserve it, We have it because it because it was given It was given with no thought of selfishness in existence. To vote or not to vote is to say to grasp our freedom Or not to grasp our freedom Which is for you I cannot say, but I do know that to not grasp what was given Is to again throw it away. So I ask you again to grasp your freedom or not to grasp your freedom? That my people is the question! |
Being Together
Together is a state of being Two people in like or in love Together forever or only fornow You and I are together But it's more than just our brains It's also our hearts entwined Lately we've been distancing each other Afraid to come too close and end up falling Falling far apart or falling deep in love Our togetherness is intriguing and one of a kind Because it defies most people's understanding Yeah we fight but it's fighting to stay together I fight to never lose you You fight to always keep me We complete each other Understanding me is hard I times Communicating with you is rarely easy Yet here we are in each others arms Real love is not easy to find And it's even hard to hold on to But I found it and will do anything to keep it I know that you're afraid Believe me so am I That's why it's called team work Let's do this one day at a time Let me ease your fears babe And let me lift your spirits Promise me you'll stay forever Whatever trials we may face You are my sunshine through the rain If we stick together we'll make it And forever we will always define love It's being there for each other no matter what |

I saw a star shining bright So beautiful it lit up the night The glow of this thing that is so far away Makes me stop and say Little star that I can see Twinkling down at me You always be yourself and never change Don't let others what God made you to be rearrange Your perfect in yourself please know this is true God is glad that he made you And I as finish saying this to the twinkler up so high I realize the truth I was saying was mine I had been talking to a star and yet I know That this wisdom on me did God bestow He told through my conversation with a star Just how precious to him we all are He made me perfect yet I perfect I have far from been And to God I owe my life and must turn away from sin Thank you little star for shining o so bright For lighting up my metaphor of a darkened night There is a way in which each of God's creations Can be used as divine interventions This I know and to this I hold fast That around my heart God has wrapped a cast He knows I hurt and he knows I cry But He also knows that I really try He hasn't condemned me He loves me unconditionally He will never leave me this I know Because the Bible tells me so Little start up so high pleasing never stop your shining And I thank you this night for showing me the silver lining |
Through A Victim's Eyes
To survive is something I know all about It's what I barely managed to do everyday From class to class I went alone I looked at the floor afraid to meet anyone's gaze But I was shoved to the ground anyway My books were kicked to the side I tried to get up and collect my books But again they pushed me down No one tried to help me they just watched I was fighting to back tears Yet they came anyway causing more laughter Finally the bell rings & with one last shove they left I pulled myself to my feet and gathered my books I began once gain wishing I was dead The hatred I saw in my peers' eyes The intent behind their every action I was inferior & must be put in my place Disgusting and moron are names I was called Each day I went home from school depressed My family tried to help but I went to my room Cutting became a source of release for me More than once I held a knife to my stomach I was scared unsure where I belonged in this world Alone with no friends & with condescending peers I gave up any hope of them stopping Accepting this fate was easy because I truly believed it I was worthless and meant nothing to anyone The teachers were bullies too not just the students It was so hard to get up each morning I knew what I'd face as the day progressed My desire to die grew stronger as time went by I tried to think of a way to kill myself This sounds dark and depressing I'm sure The pain and the emotion in it are real But one day I found freedom in living I transferred to a boarding school & after while thrived Never had I felt so safe and loved I went there with a GPA lower than 1.0 But I left there with a 3.0 and my head high My Senior Year was great, my grades soared Induction into National Honor Society Nominated for Actions Day Became a math tutor and a T.A. In 5th grade Wrote a report that won me a scholarship This may sound like a miracle and I assure you it is You may ask how could such a change occur I'll tell it was by God's almighty hand He stood by me when I was bullied And by His grace and love I overcame it all |
A Thirsty Soul
I thirst for knowledge Knowledge of an awesome God I thirst for wisdom Wisdom that is discerning I thirst for love Love that is everlasting I thirst for oneness Oneness with my Lord I thirst for righteousness Righteousness on the narrow road I thirst for mercy Mercy bearing no judgment I thirst for forgiveness Forgiveness that is continuous I thirst for hope Hope of a brand new tomorrow I thirst for grace Grace because I make mistakes I thirst for living water Living water that quenches my thirst |

Oh Woe to the Burdened Heart
In an instant your heart is broken A matter of seconds and darkness enfolds you Someone or something means everything to you But eludes you at each and every turn Life puts your hopes and dreams just out of reach You're constantly tripped up and knocked down And every time it's gets harder to rise again But you do because you're not a quitter You keep going and you keep fighting But only persevering and fighting under a delusion A delusion that tells you that you deserve it In the long run you'll be glad you suffered Because pain and hurt are what make a person Pain and hurt build a person up But most often they tear a person completely apart This has been my life for as long as I can remember I don't know how much longer this delusion Can hold me captive in it's falsehood At some point my body or rather my spirit Will cave and I'll be suffocated Under the weight of the fear and hurt That I have carried all these years I didn't want to carry it not one bit But neither can I seem to let it go I think in some ways the hurt and pain define me I don't remember the real me Independent carefree and hopeful The one who had no heartache nor sorrow The events of my past follow me like ghosts They appear in my nightmares as well as my dreams They appear in moments when a memory Comes to the forefront of my mind I don't want to remember but I forever will I can never forget because fear and distrust Define the person I am today Both her inside and her outside Life isn't easy for many that I know for fact And for most it's near impossible Oh woe to the burdened hearts of people everywhere I wish to wipe away every heartache Erase every wound, and scrape and scar So that their life might be easier That their burden then could be lifted So their heart may be light as a feather And their sorrow would be no more |
I Wander and I Search
I wander through the dark Searching for a leading light Something to follow and trust Hoping to find a way out of darkness I find myself stranded and lost Searching for a friend or even a foe Someone to help me make it out Hoping that I'll survive another day I'm exhausted and feel hunger pains Despair creeps at the edge of darkness How much longer can I hold on My sanity is waning with every breath Around every corner lurks an obstacle Every bush hides disbelief and doubt Hope is but a shadow hidden from view Tears now escape from my eyes I sit down on a cold hard truth This mess is something I created I’m the only one standing in the way In the way of my freedom Fear and anxiety hold me down Grief and hate tie my hands Where can I go to escape Is there a place for me to be safe This forest of darkness is all that I know I wish to see what it’s like in the light To dance and to sing and to love To be with people and shed this doubt To have faith that I’ll make it To know I can change it’s not too late A sense of possibilities I never knew Finding a way out of my darkness My search for hope and peace at and end My hunger and sadness completely erased No longer do I doubt that I can be free I’m walking towards the light |
It Hurts to Feel
It’s the size of your fist constantly pumping blood It’s the only thing separating you from death It’s the only thing keeping you alive and well It’s the size of your fist constantly pumping blood It’s the thing that is constantly broken It’s the thing that is smashed and crushed It’s the thing that is barely repaired each time It’s the thing that is constantly broken It’s the thing you feel love with It’s the thing that you give away It’s the thing that is returned in pieces It’s the thing you feel love with It’s the thing that makes it hurt to feel It’s the thing you can’t repair It’s the thing that endures the most pain It’s the thing that makes it hurt to feel Time and time again we give our hearts away Only to receive them back broken and bruised Something so precious and tender An object for others to use and abuse My heart has many scars and many bruises It will never be completely whole again I will always remember who and what Scarred my heart and destroyed my trust The End of the Heart’s Quest
I close my eyes and I feel him close by He tucks a strand of hair behind my ear His presence makes me feel at ease He tells me I’m safe and shouldn’t be afraid I’ve never known such love and truth I have never seen such loyalty and trust I feel at home with him by my side The doubt that once consumed me Now only whispers here and there I don’t feel that old sense of fear But rather excitement at what’s to come I never thought I could be happy Never thought I find someone like him But now that I have I’m not letting go I’ll hold on tight and together grow old |
You Hurt Me
To be filled with such hatred Because of the pain you caused To lie awake crying into my pillow Because of your constant betrayal To have no good memories together Because none of them were real To be judged by the glare of others Because you told of my mistakes To feel a hollow sense of being Because you’re no longer there for me To hunger for any sense of sincerity Because everything out of your mouth was a lie To grow through the intense agony Because I have learned this hard lesson To forever be cautious and slow to trust Because you’re a mistake I don’t wish to repeat Hard to Breathe Through the Pain
That feeling you get when you lose someone you love A knife to the heart you feel broken and alone You ask yourself how you can keep on living When you’ve just lost a light in your darkened world Where will you find hope again the strength to persevere? People come and go offering you encouragement and kind words But then they leave and once again you’re alone with your thoughts You lie awake at night remembering every moment you had Your pillow is wet with constant tears of pain and sorrow As the days pass and turn into weeks the pain begins to lessen But it’s still there, the sorrow and the agony and the despair Just hiding and biding its time til you’re alone and vulnerable Then with a mighty roar all the feelings and memories flood back And you are knocked down finding it hard to breath |
