Mom is sick,
a sad thought, but
there is one benefit,
I can finally occupy the kitchen
the forbidden lands of war
a high school girl dreams of buffalo plaid bandanas and button downsyou know, of which that isadorned on the tartan kilts of gaelic menandblocked by the bodies of beloved on top of a picnic blanket
Daddy,
Permanent creases make a home beside your eyes
And distract from what was once an icy blue gaze
You promised yourself any wrinkles would be temporary,
But your stress seeps in, a stealthy move,
It begins as a small seed
Lodged in your ear
Blocking all sound
Soon, the roots spread
Little brown threads reach down into the canal
In freshman year at college,
I was quiet and lost.
Until the first year have ended,
I was talking and knowing a lot of things.
Without that, I stay quiet.
I always wanted to do something's greater,

The Christmas of 2012 was the last Christmas that you celebrated on Earth.You were a kind and loving mother for 41 and a half years after my birth.When March the 6th arrived, you wouldn't have a tomorrow.
Today my life surrendered
Before Thy feet I lay
A willing, living offering
I now to Thee convey
-
And in Thy hands, Thy bidding
To do without delay.
Please take this life to mold it
Today you are 50 years-old
Symbolic of the precious gold
A daughter, a sister, a mother a wife
Today is a day to reflect upon your life
Some days you want to cry, some days you live in fear
The Encyclopedia
The books of all books
The mind of all minds
Not always politically correct
And the values sometimes questionable

Many people know how important you were to me.If you hadn't died, today you would've turned seventy.You were a kind woman who loved to give.I would've done anything if you could've lived.
I look into your eyes and cannot begin to explain the deep passion
that burns in my heart for you.
I devote my every waking moment to you, for I live to
Would it be OK if I took some of your time?
Would it be OK if I wrote you a rhyme?
Would it be OK if I opened your heart?
To Thee Who Takes Him Away,
My highest admiration revolves around thee,
I know thy cause is one of inevitability.
For despite pleas of the pure in mankind,
You died twenty years ago today.On February 7, 1998, you passed away.You were born in 1910 and died at the age of eighty-seven.Twenty years ago, you left this Earth and went to Heaven.
JROTC is where I met you
I was low-key about to drop that class but then I encountered you
Down for 5 years but it seems like 10
The only person I can hard down argue with and be cool with again
The thought that counts
I hold this dear
Regardless the gift
The intent is clear
Loving someone, has no price
It's unconditional
The hills so grassy so green
Sitting on comforting seats of grass
I feel the cool wind along with the breeze
At some point in time I get up to walk a trail
Following it I know where I'll never fail
You feel it deep in your viens, its something you cant stop thinking about its like an lock on addiction. Not only that you feed off of every section in what you love doing you just cant get enough.
She has passion in her eyes
While she tries not to cry
The cold hard floor has become her friend again
She can not practice through the pain
A girl once contemplatedWhat it means to be loved,What it means to be valued,What it means–to be a girl
The future follows behind me with a stern look and a jagged plea
As competition constantly stares back at me.
In the past year I battled the fists of friend crusades
Because of the stabs of pending test grades.
In the last year I got married to the love of my life.
In getting her, I received two.
For a daughter came with my new wife.
And soon we will be adding another girl too.
A year ago, having three girls wasn't the plan.
She gave up that retirement plan
So she could become all that she can
Pushing away the money vice
She knows what it means to make a sacrifice
Gripping on the helm of fate
Praying it's never too late
Robert Vaughn's demise is something that billions of people deplore.If he had lived just eleven days longer, he would've turned eighty-four.Vaughn had the ability to make movies and TV shows enjoyable.
Every Christmas was a good Christmas when you were around.But it stopped being good after you were lowered ino the ground.
Robert Vaughn was married for forty-two years and had two children.He starred in many movies and TV shows and he stood five feet ten.He was the proud father of a daughter and a son.
He was an exceptional actor but now he's gone.The man who I'm speaking of was Robert Vaughn.Vaughn starred in The Man From U.N.C.L.E and twice on Columbo.
He has been with me since me since my earliest grade
My fondness of him will never fade
Whenever I would reach my darkest day
I knew the smile on his face would always stay
I have a story to tell you that is a heart breaker.It's about a great man who was named Kenny Baker.When he starred in the Star Wars movies,he was inside of R2D2.
It was wonderful to have a mother who was so great.If you hadn't died, today you would've turned sixty-eight.When you became ill and died, everything went sour.
As the blue jay sweeps the skies,
it flies and flies high into the white fluffy and thick clouds as if to disguise.
You were an awesome actor but I regret to say that you died twenty years ago.First, you were Doctor Who and later you were Worzel Gummidge the Scarecrow.You died of a heart attack in your sleep.
This is the fourth Mother's Day that has come around since you died.When you perished, I had to deal with a lot of pain on the inside.When you became ill, I wanted you to get well and so did my brother.
This is the third Mother's Day that has come around since you perished. The love that we felt for one another is something that I'll always cherish.Out of all of the people on Earth, you meant more to me than anyone.
Since you died, this is the second Mother's Day that has come around.Since March of 2013, peace and tranquility aren't things that I've found.You were one of the greatest mothers who ever lived.
Slow, cringed movements
Small breaths, rapid
Sapped, every ounce of
strength, gone
Sun is beating down, blaring hot
Sweat drips off of my forehead
If I was on a stranded on an island,
All I’d need would be...
The devotion of my father,
His fatherly impulse to keep me safe never was a bother
Within, there must be that voice...The one to push you to succeed.For me, it tells me that all is okay,And I need to prepare for what I may see.
I am dedicated and motivatedI wonder what the world could becomeI hear music when I see something rightI see a bright futureI want to make everyone's life betterI am dedicated and motivated.
I will wake up early,
collect my books,
and swing my computer bag over my shoulder.
I will open my locker,
shove my book on the top shelve,
and drink my coffee on the way to class.
Influence was imminent.
Inspiration was infinite.
Fun, love, bonds, ties, cries.
Games, hugs, secrets, thruth, lies.
Support and morals drilled in my head.
Look up to a roof, come home to a bed.
small to tall,
through it all,
never saw one flaw,
as my grandfather taught me the morals and wisdom of it all,
showed me the ropes and how to have hope,
he had dedication an legislation to watch me keep on,
If you hadn't died, today you would've become sixty-seven.But God called you home and you're with him in Heaven.Because of your bad infection, you had an aneurysm and couldn't be healed.
If you hadn't died, today you would've become sixty-six.Your death has proved that a broken heart isn't easy to fix.On the day of your death, I knew that I would loathe the year 2013.
If you hadn't died in March, you would've turned 65 today.Life hasn't been as good since you passed away.Everybody who knew you, knew that you were nice.But I took things for granted and now I'm paying the price.
You were born in December of 1975.It's a shame that you didn't survive.You were a great actress, one of the very best.It's not surprising that you became a success.
It was a fact that you were sweet and that you were very cute.You were adorable, that's something that people won't dispute.While you were eating lunch in the MGM Commissary, you were discovered.
You died at the young age of twelve in 1988.Your death was something everybody would hate.You died of Cardiac Arrest that was caused by Intestinal Stenosis.You were a very pretty and talented girl, everybody knows thia.
You were always number one, never number two.I'm your son and I was very fortunate to have you.You cared more about others than you did for yourself and that is rare.
My life would be so much better if you hadn't become sick and died.You were a wonderful person because love was what you supplied.My life would be so much better if you had gotten well.
Even though you've been dead for two years, I still miss you terribly.While you were alive, I meant a lot to you and you meant a lot to me.You were an excellent mother and that is certainly true.
Something terrible has happened to the entire world, we've lost Christopher Lee.He was Count Dracula and he was also Saruman in The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
When Mom died, life lost a lot of its luster.While she lived, everybody could trust her.Everybody could trust her because she was so good.She was wonderful, she helped everybody who she could.
I look in the mirror and what do I see?
A young lady, matter of fact, a young woman that wants nothing but to succeed.
Succeed as a collegiate athlete,
Succeed as a college student,
Dedicate to wake up,
Dedicate to run twice a day,
Dedicate to recover,
Dedicate to do it all over again the next day.
I am wild. I am spectacular. I am wildly passionate. I am jealous. I am human. I do dumb things. I make a fool of myself. I have a wondering and imaginative mind, I only see the good in people and I'm infatuated with the idea of love.
Without a filter I'm just a kid,
Without a father and a mother in prison,
I've seen some things that you'll never see,
Things that make small children scream,
But what you can never see,
I'm have many good traits, I'm "flawless"
But people only watch for the bad traits regardless
Similar to a pacifist, I'd probably go outside and help someone after this
I'm benevolent, a GOD sent
They say when you want something,
You’ll do anything to get it.
They say if you try hard enough,
You are bound to get it.
I can rhyme words without a rhythmbut as soon as I try, I lose the feeling.So I’ve learned to let them flow,let ‘em rolloff my tongue - or in this case my pen -
she is nothing
she is nowhere
she is confused
she has been told who to be her whole life
she has no idea who she is
she has been........
Beat
A year and a half ago, Mom went to be with the Lord.She entered the Pearly Gates, Heaven is her reward.She was born in 1948 and died sixty-four and a half years later.
Your fingers tell the soft story to my skin.
A cautious, caring narrative.
Woven on spot, etched on my flesh.
Your lips sing the song of Angels.
Every motion is a swoon birds envy.
Beauty is a state of mind
what state you livin' in?
when shawty broke my heart you were the one that mended it
back together
I never thought it'd be me and you
I am not a fool
I'm only himan
And I'm bound to make mistakes
Understand I've always had what it takes
What it takes to love you
And what it takes to stay with you
Yeah I might have been hurt
I want it I really do.
It is just really hard.
I do it because I have to.
I wake up every day with a smile on my face.
It hopes of one day obtaining what I need.
I tell everyone that I will succeed.
The animals are crying for a man named Steve;
It's just so hard for all to believe.
That something so precious has been taken away;
He impacted all life on Earth in his short stay.
Vivid lights beam down from a ceiling housing thousands of cheering fans.
Cheekbones corrupted with smiles give way, some hidden by active hands.
A beating heart within, so eager to emerge from the cage that condemns it so
The ability to touch
the sky
Fly with the birds
the angels
A dream of all
the flight
To fly one must innovate
improve
Try
Try
Try
Until at last
takeoff is achieved
I dreamed of being a super hero
To have my name in the headlines every day
Reality crushed my dreams when I was just seven
I had to accept that I was never going to wake up with super powers
Questions everyday
What you're how old?
How did you even get here, your a baby?
Omg! You're a baby, my little sister/brother is your age.
You should not be here, go back to highschool where you belong.
I'm not passionate.
I'm not frenzied.
I am Dedicated.
For all those who say they are passioante,
they don't truly know what it means to be dedicated.
Life changes in the blink of an eye
One day you're here
The next you're there
So what if that all changed
What if your dream came true?
The dream of owning a store
Hard Work
Drive through flames
Face the endless nights
Burn doubt and all else
Arise higher than the sun
People dedicating themselves wholly to an ideal
Accepting a way of life that is almost surreal
Submitting their transient needs for something greater
Solving problems on coffee, feeling like a martyr
You're that gleam I see in the dark,
You stand in the corner
And shine in my eyes,
There's no better light
To a better path...
You're the answer,
And you're the want
Everything I desire
Blood boiling in my veins, body becomes rigid and cold, saying goodbye to the old, when I awaken you see the heart that was taken, peer into my lifeless body numb and still, look into my dead eyes that once held what feeling I felt, now washed aw
You smile. You frown.
You laugh. You cry.
Am I doing it right?
Through those tear-filled eyes, I see how you really feel about me.
Disappointment. Distress. Depression.
How do you know what to choose
From all the options thrown at you?
Where do you want to go?
What do you want to do?
It's all up to you.
For everything that you're worth,
Time winds down. Tick. Tock.
Crunch time, ten seconds on the clock.
Pass the ball then take the shot.
Swish! Autographs in the parking lot.
Everyone sees all the smiles and cheers,
Hours after hours of rehearsal
countless late weekend nights at the studio
and a lifetime’s worth of bobby pins, dance shoes, and ripped tights.
All for the next two and a half minutes.
To be considered great at something, you need experience
To be considered smart about something, you need experience
To be considered successful with something, you need experience.
Full circle
Press forward, harder, stronger…show ’em what you’re made of.
Prick your finger – blood. You are human,
Alive.
Harness the light,
Grasp it, hold it…be one with it.
I write to express my courageous spirit
The way I fight to cling to life
The way I fight for my success in life
Even though the odds are always pinned against me
Still I choose to fight the good fight
life is music
love is our song
and i found my heart
where love belongs
and we had a bong
that was really strong
thought you could never do me wrong
but a couple times you've proved me wrong
The traitors of the past were never washed away
They have procreated and created the haters of today
They continue to feed of negativity
And deter you from accomplishing any relative impossibility
“Empacó un par de camisas, un sombrero
Su vocación de aventurero, seis consejos, siete fotos
Mil recuerdos”
Curse Thee! Black juggernaut of sorrow and pain,
Planning such a cruel act of evil, genocide.
Its slaughter soon shall be greater than Hitler's
For the juggernaut strikes every race with hate.
She's the devil
He's never done anything wrong.
She cuts her wrist and watches the blood.
He helps the sick
They go to the same school
Stuck in different worlds
They both want out
He has all these opportunities but does he see the things he needs? Does he know the love he shares is worth a lot more than he can compare?
Society stalks me,
A spectre of the REM world,
Like Krueger…it creeps up on me,
Only this time…I know I won’t wake up.
My life is a terrible secret, trapped inside Pandora’s Box.
A person is as good as their inner image. One should never be judged for the way that they look. Every individual has the right to be looked at by their talents, and the way they treat others.
Mental manipulations manipulate your mind, while you are a sitting empty crack.
A treasured wrapper, unwrapped and tossed after being sucked of whatever treasures you have inside.
The sun rose as pain awoke
The sea in my eyes caused me to look demented
Facts were meant to be faced on ones own
But Reality force fed me the gossip of Life
How does one ignore Reality? Life?
Jerome "Jerry" Armstrong
A Fighter
Not only in war
But in life
Fun, Loving, Caring too.
You are a role model
Marie. Mary. Saint Mary.
Saint Mary, Star of the Sea.
My Marie.
My Mother of Mothers.
I stepped out of the shower
scooping up your pink towel.
And simply stood.
~man of the hour
i waited way too long
met women that should be strong
but he left and did her wrong
but baby here i am
the man of the hour
the one to give you power
you see, im here however
I've seen a lot of things i thought
i'd never have to see
we've hoped for many things
that are just so far out of reach
A dancer delicately flutters,
Tiptoes,
Pirouettes along the fibers in my mind,
Still suspended in the limbo of REM,
dreaming and lusting to put power to words.
Match the brunt force and desire.
You hear the waves pounding on the rocks... You know if you get caught in it you'll die immediately but there's no going back.
There are a lot of people that Fear what they don't know,
The questions then turn into aggressions leaving them stuck in a hatred zone.
Why must people fear the original and the different?
