Some of us are stuck in the past
Positive it's not going to last
Some of us don't want to spread our wings and fly
Some of us don't know how to say goodbye
Some of us think we have few chances
my love, that singular beauty, is all mine
touched with golden splendor of the gods
sweet as honey, rich as cherry wine
a lively sprite who frolics in the woods
Verse 1
When your out in this world all lonely
You don’t know what to do with yourself honestly
Looking back at your life is a tragedy
Your trying to move along and be strong for insanity
Dear School Board,
You threaten me with your words
With your long sentences of gibberish and peanut butter
Sweet, sweet girl, don’t lose that heart
Even though sometimes, things will fall apart.
Value your daddy and all the sacrifices he will make
You don’t yet understand all he’ll end up doing for your sake.
You are intelligent
Yet you know nothing
You are full of ideas
Yet you don’t know how to express them well
You are full of wisdom
When will I see
Fruitions of being happy
What happened to respect exactly
What's intact is that I watch my back
Wondering when one close
Decides to hide inside
The lies of emotional ties
Find her,
You'll have to search hard,
Dig deep,
Find that warrior within,
Use her strength to fight,
Stand up for yourself,
You are strong,
You are powerful,
You have a pulse,
And now I’ve come to the end,
I walked a very long way.
Miles and years,
Smiles and tears.
But there is nothing left for me to say.
You didn’t hurt my feelings,
I realized where my passion lies
and through open eyes I saw the prize.
I'd go back to school to gain the tools
necessary for me to fuel
the vehicle of which I'll drive
and strive to thrive until I arrive
If I spoke in lines of poetry, it would be broken
Every line seperate from the rest
My words would fall disconnected
You would not be able to make sense of it
As I sit by
I recall the dark
All the tears that I could not shed
In the desert park
No life around
No signs at all
I've stayed strong
For so long
I love my growth
The storm calls forth the seas,A figure stands, alone,A miracle observed by none.
Turn, turn,Sweet one, you control the winds,The havoc’s mistress is gentle of heart.
Turbulent were waters
so much so
that
it was said
to my soul
as it faded near the dead
rise, be bold
now
go ahead
strive
causing strife within my mind
Sometimes, she doesn't get out of bed.
It seems so difficult.
The color of sadness is so deep.
But she must rise.
Her subjects need attention.
Is it not strange.
I have traveled through the deepest parts of my subconscious
Ignoring my own ego
I have reached through the scariest parts of my own limbic systems
The only time I can’t forget you
Is in my drawn out fever dreams.
Half human, half animal,
You draw me in
Like an “Alice in Wonderland” character that shifts
I was quiet.
I was bleek.
My life consisted of listening to what others said.
I grew strength.
I grew power.
I decided to follow my own path instead.
I am willful.
I am passionate.
As I write, I enter a stage
A stroke of the pen, equals the dialogue of a piece
The diction of verses, compares to the dialect of speech
And as I write my story, and I convey my words
That which makes me tick is hard to define
Is the antidepressants stabilizing my mind?
Is it the fear of failure or being left behind?
Is the incessant tick tock ticking of time?
Brittle like glass she was
Every light shone through her
And no matter what she does
People always stare
It makes her feel so edgy
She cuts them razor sharp
Only to magnify her beauty
He had been 'reading' for
As long as he could remember.
His mother's voice was soothing to his ears
As it washed over them in a soft, murmuring tone.
A tone that was betrayed almost every time
Small fingers, silk skin. Light skin tione. Simply amazing!
From your stature, to the way you walk up until the point where I begin to mention those heavenly curves.
My O My,
It's sommething you can't explain.
Mirror, mirror shed some light
I need to see the foe I fight
I need to see what's wrong with me
I will fight to prove I'm free
I'm not the man I used to be
Tell me why can they not see
The night was once an empty dream
The trees offered no shade
I once had no hope in me
Life to me was just a game
It has to come from within
When the world offers you no hope
And the tides have turned against you
When the people around you just say ‘nope’
And there is still so much left to go through
