Stillness hides a heart that’s pounding,
Music starts and it’s time for giving,
100% of it all confounding,
YOLO for it’s all worth living,
My best friend.
You make me happy when im sad.
Even when im feeling bad.
So i am so very glad.
Glad your not mad.
You may ask why.
Becuase i made you cherry pie.
Im glad you didn't die.
*Mosquito Mosquitoes*Today you’re dead, shocked at the sight of my blood sucked and stained on the wallHow happy I was! an unintentional action has killed you!
I toss and turn, but sleep won't come,
My eyes are tired, my mind undone.
The clock ticks on, a constant hum,
And still I lay, a restless one.
I've heard all the names,
weird, ugly, and such a freak,
yeah they say it's a disease,
something that's eating at me,
I can't walk through the crowds easily,
why am I so scared,
Flex the facial muscles
Free it
Feel the relief like the cool ocean breeze
Smile
Feel the beauty in the universe
Drain your anger
Suck in the flexed facial muscles
Let it flow
Do not tell me the word elixir has not breezed you
Dew of springs bridge itch for wet encounters
Everytime I hear you jokes
My blood begins to boil
Because their not really that different
But kind, genuine, and loyal
They may have to sit out sometimes
The cold breeze blew past,
the narrow alley way.
All doors tight to the knot
All windows intact,
Not even the slightest ray of sunlight can pierce through the glass.
She walks alone,
The baby was born,
at age one the baby smiled and ran,
she didn´t see how her father secretly had a devil horn,
her little legs took her everywhere she wanted to go to explore as fast as she can,
My heart yearned to connect to yours
I spared no effort
Even did the damnedest
To achieve an access
All I got was
Congestion and obstruction
Which made me pine away
Suffering takotsubo always
Trying not to die,
Trying not to drown,
Labels weighing me down,
crushing me to the ground,
making my heart pound.
don't hold me in a cage,
don't patch me up and pretend everythings okay,
Did That One Person Help Your Life?Did That One Person Inspire You To Get Back Up?Did That One Person Make You Struggle?Did That One Person Make You Mad?Who Was That One Person?
These warriors became barriers
For the covid virus carrier
Salute to all the doctors
Nurses, Health care workers
Who are trying to close this covid chapter..!
Dawn meet the light, and the twillight the moonall are mirageson labyrinth of mind,ever since time waking.Do you think that our existencemakes any differenceto this vast universe?
It was 4 a.m on Friday
When my thoughts all got lost
It all seemed like a bad day
As my memory appeared short
deep and intense in thoughts
My head began to spin,
My hands couldn't feel a pin.
1. Her eyes Shimmers like the sun.
2. He gives the greatest hugs.
3. She gives the greatest food.
4. She goes the extra mile.
1. Her eyes Shimmers like the sun.
2. He gives the greatest hugs.
3. She gives the greatest food.

Vigorous motion increases stature
Growth quite unlike cancer
Sinews stretch,
Contract and repair
Labored intakes fight back intensity
Beads of salty viscous matter
Sticking to brows brown
My shoulder hurts. I have woken up
The clock reads 12:15.
For a moment, I thought it meant PM
I realize I fell asleep at 6.
A decade to the year, a decade to the month, and yet I remember the day. Could have been that last one, if my parents had said No, I could have lied in my own bed that night and died, without say a proper goodbye.
Today she became a widow
at the hospital arriving to collect his belongings
the virus took his life earlier that day
alone she was as his life slipped away
His health in shambles
look at my eyes
they are mirrors to my soul
look and see how damaged I am
look and see the damage you did
look and see how you shattered me
look and see how my soul bleeds
because of what you did
Who knew that staying home would be such a hassle
I would have thought it would be such a dazzle
Believe it or not, School was actually a second family
Breath taken to the depths of within.
Only I can uphold what should have been.
My waist may be shrinking, but my mind is too.
No matter what my brain says, it's what my heart says I'll do.
Tick tock, the clock now annoyingly sound,
In that quiet room, she weeps as pain holds her bound,
Deep down, she is nursing her depression wound,
With no hope for a better life being found
Happiness is a choice.
Being happy is what you decide as a person.
Being who you are is the best way of being happy.
Miami was a charm of a city
What difference does that make me
I learnt to rise and not feel usual hurt.
Time after time it was pleasure for every measure.
Love was the spice of my life

Ya Know They Say When You Age …
That You Should Stay … " ACTIVE " … !!!
Now Physically That Makes Sense To Me …
I have a question
why do i feel so fearful?
and why do i feel you judge me for my fears?
is it truly in your place to judge me for my fears or show me faith?
why do you look at me with those eyes
somtimes its hard
life sometimes it crushes you like a bug
sometimes you wanna give up and die
or dry up like a rasin in the sun
but when it all boils down to the bones
Victims we all are
if our minds are focused only on the unhealed scar
a cut or a bruise
never can we win if our mind is set on "lose, Lose, LOSE."
When we have attributed our feelings to unchangeable events;
All little girls look up to their daddy,
that man they have wrapped around their little fingers.
My daddy golfed and I played the caddy.
And today, the memory of the game lingers.
As the light hit my face
I embraced it
Although it was a gloomy day
I was still thankful
I have so much
Much more than other children in 3rd world countries
I have food, clothes, shelter
Catch, shoot, swish
Catch, shoot, swish
Everything in slow motion
As I give myself to my devotion
My mind is free
Fatty addiction 197mm
shredding ripping float extreme conditionsturning heads feeling free technical deep snow.
Health was
Failing,
Falling,
Losing.
Spirit was
Depressed,
Distressed,
Low.
I couldn't
See
The light
Ahead,
Though I
Had
It started with doubt, hesitation, a pause
Then a leap headfirst into the unknown
One single jump changed every little thing
One single moment became my passion
A beacon of hope and unbridled joy
It Can't Be Good To Hold The View ...
That I'm A CROOK Because My Top Has Got A Hood ... !?!
The Weather Now Can Be Quite FOUL ... !!!
WITHOUT An Umbrella I Could Be DROWNED ... !!!!!
The thing that inspires me the most is sports.
I play on the fields and the courts.
I'm always up to catch a pass.
Don't worry I'm not skipping class.
In softball I played short stop.
Those dangerously beautiful eyes
Blinks of Vivid colors and shades of black and white
Those eyes
Your pure eyes seen the outburst of this painful world and droplets of kindness
Those eyes
Distractions help ease the pain of constant thoughts. Keep busy.Safe. As the pain and heart break ease, so do the distractions.No more painting. Drawing. Creative outlooks.
As the clock ticks away with the Nick of time,
Health is wealth knowest thou all for to live quite sublime,
Rich or the poor none have the desire to keep the health in prime,
Asclepius had decided being a doctor was what he wanted to do with his life.
He studied for tests, stayed up all night.
He stayed in the library,
until they turned off the light.
When he graduated,
Her home lies across Henderson port.The ships here chase the sun inlandFrom east to west and back to east,a pendulum in a grandfather clock.Each turn portends finality, butswings back to begin afresh.No dock for her eyes, just passing boats,sleepy
An Ignorance so bliss
An Arrogance so full
A Child like innocence
Abstaining,
From a world so cruel
Thrust into society
By circumstance at hand
Losing at a race
You don't have antibodies.
If you don't have antibodies, you can't have mono.
You don't have mono.
I don't have mono?
Lying on the Doctor's table
wondering if I was now claustrophobic
It’s the sigh of relief after you hold your breath.
Growth.
Suffocating because I chose to be rooted to my problems.
Growth.
One two three four
There's a stranger at my door
Five six seven eight
It's a ghost made of hate
25 yards, at age 10
At 11, 50 yards
Now at age 18 I am going 1650 yards in one race
An average man can go 3 days without water,
I was on my way back to home
in the bus
In this high temperature with precipitation
a child sitting infront of me,
with all these sweaty people.
Children making noises
And the stranger sitting next to me
It’s time to sever ties with those who lie;
It’s Time to free myself from the toxicity of your superficiality, breaking away from your fly trap facade once and for all, never to fall for this sick style of manipulative mind control -
You begin to understand the flow a little more as you go
This much I know.
Never here nor there,
It’s ethereal
All around us, in the air.
It’s all around you
There’s no denying it
I have glowed up
I am no longer the same
Leaving different then when I came
I'm as cool as ice in a cup
Ohhh I have changed I've changed
My attractivness has ranged
I am confident in myself
Once upon a midnight postpubescent,
Much I marvelled the silent graafian follicle;
Puberty - tormentor of my dreams.
I awoke and flung the legal age,
In a kingdom full of menses
When I thought of the puberty.
I used to play
I used to run
But now I sit inside
and have no fun
My body turned against me.
Children
Neverending smiling faces
Annoying people with an endless stream of questions
Only tolerated for future obligations
Never seeing people's true expressions
Bored because no waters
bored by no sea
as I shall watch from their I will be
nation by nation
stars by stars
looking up in the sky stars I see
The story begins at my school.
I began to sound like a fool.
My voice started to crack;
I heard a loud quack,
Why is puberty so darn cruel.
I don’t know if I’m going through the stages of grief
But rn I’m pretty fuckin pissed and just wanna scream
I’m sorry I showed you the real me and you couldn’t handle it
Sometimes I feel it was my fault
Alas, I am sitting in class,
Stressed for the upcoming test.
Afraid I am unprepared to pass,
My heart pounds in my chest.
Is there a point to all this?
Some sense of release hidden behind years of
Doubtful ventures into nothing.
Can I outstretch these fastened wings,
And search for some greater feeling,
Pain, Pain, Pain
That is what I felt when I got you
But I overcame you and conqured my fear
Fear of never being able to do the sports I love
But hear I am playing today
Free from the
Pain, Pain, Pain
the voice that calls me
gives warmness, is it loving
it holds me tightly.
the lights kept flashing
red blue, am i laying down
Oh, dear friend or foe
We both remember a time where my spirit was low.
There was once a cold darkness in my soul
That didn’t allow me to feel whole.
Oh, dear friend or foe
We both remember a time where my spirit was low.

That didn’t allow me to feel whole.

Rain patter-pitters on the windowsill. Shouts echo through the hall- broken glass, hours pass. I have seen the countenance of the rain, It shrouds my hill. I watch-listen for others who felt the chill, Those who have countenanced their rain- att
Up up
I go
the stares
and the crowd
in the distance
all so loud
I begin crack
down
my legs
my spine
my heart

I woke up every day from being a child to the age of seventeen having a belly, I would eat jelly for fun everyone said I needed to go for a run but I wold just lie down to eat Honey Buns.
Life came crashing down. Derailed by injury.
sometimes you just want to quit. And you feel like it’s too much
But no pain is forever
That’s why you push your limits
no more excuses!
There are no sick days
The anniversary of his death is upon us,
This winter breeze raises my neck hairs,
Starring down at the grave,
The temperal lobe inside my mind identifies the pain,
Pain?
Guilt?
What is the difference?
It’s hard to walk these halls,
Hoping nobody notices at all,
My broad shoulders and Big hips,
The internet even provides me with tips,
Lost in thought,maybe in too deep.It's a hole fallen intohard to get out of.
Trapped in a body that will not function
The smallest tasks become a challenge
No more running, dancing, or playing
Standing up becomes your new form of exercise
With every step you heart races
Born into youth with resilience and ferver
Was a boy so young, and so kind, yet clever
A boy whose bright mind and bright smile last forever
Taken care of by the whole soul of a wise tree
I love football a whole lot!
Especially on days that are really hot.
On the feild I ease my mind,
Football is a major passion of mine!
I hear the crowd roar and chant on the sideline.
The call came,
This is what we had been waiting for.
Mom answered,
“Hello?” she said into the phone.
Fugitive, fugitive, fugitiveYou must not be fugitiveYou must be activeLove your homeMake it as a groomAdorn with every pomponTo show himself handsomeWear and pretty trimAnd be always in the placeTo lead all nationsImitate its way, obey its sayFear
Thank you.
Thank you for being inside of me
my own little monster who could hide in me
confide in me-
in my body.
A bubble of blood
Up and over! Up and over!
That’s all hear through the crowd and when I look over I realize she’s right
Ball at feet
Ball in hand
Ball equivilent to man
It gave me love
It gave me passion
It gave me a unique fashion
Ball has my heart
Ball has my name
Without ball who am I at all.
This goes out to the people who need inspiration.
People who need this rap to get something done for the day.
Anything. Just know that all you need is inspiration.
Remember when you broke your right hip?
It came as a shock to me.
There you were, the picture of health,
And only eighty three.
Of course, you were most disgruntled.
But I eat vegan, I drink piss, I'm naturally immune,The crunchy people sing the same shit to a different tune.It doesn't matter if you have just spinach in your diet,When it comes to vaccines, we should to everyone apply it.

When someone you love dies
and you are not expecting it,
You don’t lose them all at once:
You lose them in pieces and fragments over a long time –
Their scents and fragrance begin to fade
When I was young
I could not hear
I would stand there and wail
screech like a banshee
Ahhhhhh,for food
Ahhhhhh,for drink
A square is my battlefield
where I fight to survive
without a sword and shield
I prosper and thrive
technique and hard work
are my weapons of my choice
It’s just me and the sound of my fans voice
Being diagnosed with GAD
was something very hard for me.
I felt trapped in my own mind
as though others had left me behind.
But through poetry I found hope,
a sturdy ground on my slippery slope.
What can be said of the disintgrating people?
The ears, the eyes, the mind goes.
Ticking time
Slow and slow
The legs, the arms, the heart show
How age reaps life it once sowed.
This is a perfect worldA world that although not perfectly round,although it seemingly wobbles like a top in its uneasiness and discontent with its occasional imbalances,
I’m writing to you this now, because it has come to my attention that this is a serious issue.
You are so very beautiful,
so intelligent, caring and kind. And you have so much to offer.
Evasive splashes rise and fallLeaving but a trace of mistTo reflectThe taste of aweFor gaping jaws to admit
A bit of a pain in the arse
Already at the brink
The time clock is at rush hour
But the heart still beats
He made my pray.
He made me lose my breath.
He made my knees weak.
He pissed me off.
He turned me on.
He terrified me.
He inspired me.
He made me shy.
Dear Syringe,
I don't mean to get butterflies whenever I see you.

To Those Who Wanted To See Me Suffer,
Crohn's Disease:
A chronic inflammatory bowel disease that affects the lining of the digestive tract.
This disease,
One hundred and three pounds, 5 feet 11 inches tall

This describes me physically when the brutal Crohn’s disease was diagnosed
But this is not me
Dear Childhood,
I’m sorry, I can’t seem to save you.
No matter how hard I try, things always fall through.
You’re dangling over an endless void
From across the parking lot
I glimpsed her sweet warm smile,
it said hello and beckoned me
to stay and talk awhile.
We talked about things near and dear
and how we view the world,

Deceitful skin unbinds itself from flesh
While struggling cells attempt to mesh
No answer, cure, or solution
For this troubling ailment reeking of pollution
Dear MW
Never thought I'd be the type to fall
The type to fall hard.
Falling hard for one I barely even knew.
Although,
A quick facetime call
Or
A short text from you
I wonder if you’ll ever believe, in the gifts I see in you.
Gifts so real to me; yet, when I sincerely put forth and say, they often get pushed away.
Dear Doctor,
Since day 23 of the pain, my body has been new land.
You have colonized me, in every way known to man,
Dear Art,
I've never told you this before,
These thing being so dear,
So please listen,
As I am being sincere.
You've hurt my neck,
And even my toe,
But that wasn't enough,
It was Valentine’s Day of 2013 when I began wishing you would vanish into an endless black hole. I lied in a hard hospital bed, with wires protruding from every inch of my body. I cried in pain and in fear of this unforgiving migraine. I know I w
White sheets lay an adventure through my brainCross minded, open sighted lines puncturing while my existence is indicatedWe are the center of our own worldown universeown fight.
in autumn i think of you.
the way a leaf browns,
curls up, and floats along wind,
rustle becoming tremor becoming fall—
Dear Epilepsy,
It's me again
I haven't talked to you in a while
I've been a bit preoccupied
Finding my stride
Finding my smile
All while fighting your pain
Circling 'round and 'round again
Circling 'round to see you again
Thought I'd been away so long
Thought you'd gone and went along
Then you shook my hand.
Then you made me faint.
Dear Clock,
With each tick you seem to remind me that time is always racing ahead
The seconds, the minutes, the hours weave together a thin thread
Pushing and pulling me forth
Be happy together.
Everyday, look for something new you love about your love.
Care fully for one another, temporally, emotionally, spiritually.
Ask them how their day was.
Sleep.
It's something I never seem to get enough of.
I don't have insomnia, nightmares, or a bed made of rock,
But I still never seem to get enough.
High school seems like the easiest thing to blame,
Because I love you
I demand
We are a team.
Through all of our ups and downs
And even when steam
Comes out of our ears
And brings out the tears,
We’ll stay together
For all of our years.
When I was 5 I learned what real tears were
My dad held my mom, her cheeks beating and tears streaming
As an adolescent I couldn't tell what this fear was for
I didn’t know I could love this much.
Give me your hand,
And I’ll hold it close to my heart.
Your soul brings light to the dark.
I could never forget the way your dimples crease,
I ask you, what does it mean to Love?
“That feeling that makes you smile whenever you see me?”
Relationships and Love are
Passion
Because I love you, I will not watch you die. I will find others who thrive.
I love you for your virtues,for your relationship with lifeI love you for your actions...and, of course, for what's inside.
Because you hurt me there is a constant memory in my mind that is of you, that I wish to forget
Because you hurt me every breath I take is short and sharp,
Love
A fondness chased by man since the beginining
With no real sense of the word
A feeling many have come to settle with less
In the hopes that they can fool themselves into believing
That they have found
Because I love you,
I worry.
I worry
about if your day is going well,
and if you're doing okay.
I worry
about if I am doing everything in my power
to keep your head above water
I will stand with you though all your life’s seasons
Sometimes I won’t know the reason
Except, I love you
I will stay through the cold times to warm you up again
I beg for you, but the plea falls to no response,
The room is so loud, I begin to deafen by the screams,
I call louder for you, but I fade into the other voices,
I fall to my knees, and pray for you to return
An outbreak of an illness may cause several people harm to
those who surround the infected. The case
began with students on a campus who visited the informatory
at the same time, as these students suspected
Sand in air shoots across sand ground.
I am here, but no where to be found
My mother, my father perhaps are in the water
But no where to be found. Like me, no where to be found.

A man who still has many of years left to roam and play.

Oh say can you see, by the rates that climb,
What so gladly we hailed as the American shine?
Whose broad stomachs and bright cars through impoverished fight,
Oh beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain.
For health care costs so out of reach, we all can feel the pain.
America, America, please help us in our quest.
And give us plans fair to the lands,
The drops that fall are heavy
from aching muscles
fighting to stay steady
under the loads they bare.
Torn benches reveal
stories deep.
Their scars reminders
of the wars we’ve waged.
They hold our economy,no one carea of there agony
They have money,but people have no mercy
They feed companies, wholesalers and retailers, profit is many
With fake products,high price,they indirectly feel the pain
let me tell you something:no one is going to look at you, broken and shattered

If you were an artist you'd paint me as a Villain and thus, I felt like I had owed you an apology for why I couldn't be with you. I wanted to apologize but then my reflections of the world glazed over my eyes and settled that desire. For there is
Everyday, I campaign in support
For a good heart, sometimes I win
And the others seem not to exist.
You don't have to know everything
I want to tell you, but just know
Happiness. If the others do come, I give
It seems my body is out of touch
The signs are showing, its independence growing
Autonomous spasms seize my control
My conscious being slammed to the floor
Knocked out by my very own host
Knight Hawk grunts as he struggle walks
The memories flooding him always
The recent past like a nightmare
A never-ending cycle of despair drifting
The blood he still feels on his skin seeping
Drip, Drip, Drip…
Up my arm the fluids go.
Tick, tock, tick…
Slowly time whittles away.
How long have I been here?
How long must I stay?
You can go soon they tell me.
Before, She laid in a hospital bed
Now, she makes sure the dogs are fed.
Before, She was surrounded by nurses.
Now, she collects designer purses.
Her family used to hope and try
If not caught in time, it can kill.
A body trying killing itself,
does not only cause physical,
but emotional strain.
Even if you don't realize it,
but only a lump.
You play every moment of every game
You think everything will stay the same
You never think it'll be you
The one who would hear, "Oh look at you"
You come out hard like any other day
A year ago today...
365 days ago today...
I believe I was sitting next to my mothers hospital bed
Watching her breathe through a tube.
"Odds are slim"
"The pain will be temporary"
"Ice at home"
"Rest from sports"
"You will be fine"
The Doctor was wrong
My spine paid the price
My fracture was stressed
Life wasn't always so easy for me, I needed something to make me believe. Something to make me feel confident and free, something to make me feel like the person I always knew I could be. It's really quite simple, and it's so easy and fun. I fo
Let’s say there was a mirror
I’d walk up to it, letting my image become clearer
I’ll take a step forward. So would she.
Yet, her movements, her posture were nothing like me.
I saw fateful stars,
Not twinkling with lullaby dust,
But searing, scorching, bright
with meteoric impact.
I stumbled into black,
a murky, messy plight
of blurry edges, hollow words.
Strive to fight,
Then conquer and destroy.
To all who know us,
This is our creed.
When we fall,
We get back up.
We hit a wall,
We leave behind dust.
Standing tall with might,
"You need to eat more"
"You are too thin"
Man, if it was that easy,
then this disease I would win.
I am well aware of my eating disorder
I am well aware my life is not in order
However,
Feet bounding...
Feet running...
Feet jogging...
Feet dying!
I see the familiar road,
“Practice makes perfect…” she told herself as she tangled her legs between his. That’s what she was taught, the motto running through her head. She didn’t want to be this person; the one that falls into bed to push the pain away.

Basketball is what gives me that lift
to me it's life pure gift
boucning the ball up and down the court
basektball is much more than a sport
lving in a world without is impossible
The Sun intrudes into my bedroom,
Her rays glare into my face,
With brutal light, its intensity hard to take
I was sleepless and down, my body worn out,
Everyday there is stress to succeed in school
But those stresses go away the minute I splash into the pool
Whether its kicking, pulling, diving, or technique
Swim practice always brings that calmness I seek
Escape in the beat of my heart
Feel passion vibrate my bones
No thing could ever tear us apart
You're voice makes me feel home
Though troubles come and worry awakes
One thing remains real clear
Everyone gets upset.
Everyone gets sad.
Everyone feels happy.
Everyone feels mad.
It's not what you're feeling but HOW you are dealing
With the pain and sadness or celebrating gladness
Everyone gets upset.
Everyone gets sad.
Everyone feels happy.
Everyone feels mad.
It's not what you're feeling but HOW you are dealing
With the pain and sadness or celebrating gladness
Everyone gets upset.
Everyone gets sad.
Everyone feels happy.
Everyone feels mad.
It's not what you're feeling but HOW you are dealing
With the pain and sadness or celebrating gladness
The sun taps on my face like a cat begging for attention.
I draw my blanket closer as to fortify myself from the invading forces.
I strain to remember the dream that so allured me.
Young and active at the age of three,
Up until I had a swollen knee.
Doctors were stumped about a diagnosis,
Until blood tests proved it to be Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis.
A satisfied customer can make me grin.
Being the person they count on for food
Causes me to feel appreciated, especially
During the period of time in which they
Eat. When they munch down on their
Inspiration, motivation, football, wrestling, track, ideas that pop up in your head when you hear my name
Life was always bad to me
When I was younger the only motivation I had was rejection
Fingers slick with sweat
Sting the cracks of my knuckles
Wrinkled, hard, calloused
Pounds the bag, pounds the bag
Until something drops
I am not feelin’ good.
Instead of staying in my sheets
I will hit the streets
It was a bad day
But this will be a good run.
Some people feel good when they read, write, and sometimes listening to music. But mine is running, this helps me clear my head and think positively! Run, Run, Run!
Where is the life I used to have
Carried in my suitcase
Of neon green?
Did it dissapear down
The rabbit hole of
Beige, nothing but
b e i g e.
Did it fall down the
It always starts off slow, a calm
Before the storm.
I hear it, I feel it,
Before I see it,
Like the crack of
A whip,
Like a flashbang being dropped
on the deserted cobblestone streets,
Through tears,
Through the months,
Through the pain,
I wait.
Many feel sorry,
Many stare,
Many judge,
But they don't get me.
Pain is a hurdle,
Pain is a challenge,
When I'm feeling low
When I need a win
When my mood is down
When my patience is thin
I pick up my oar
I go for a swim
My smile grows rich
My mood is alift
Life is a journey everyone has to take.
the journey is full of good and bad things.
people love life's journey,
because it a beautiful journey,
but their is an enemy that no one want to
come incontact with.
I set out to tendAll differentTake time to mend Some broken Some golden I seek for the flat objectthe one I am so familiar withI place my feet in the comfort of their soles The laces connect in a way I've become accumulated to My body rises and of
The clock reads eight as I face the sun
I smell the sweet rolls and hope they aren’t overdone
I decide to rise out of bed to go get myself one
Parting with my pajamas I prepare for my morning run
Juviniale diabetes
not just sweeties
illness with a cure
yet not for sure
young ones not just old
but they will not fold
Forced, terrrified, pain, lonely, hurting.
Forced to deal with the truth of a sheltered life.
Terrifed of what came next.
Pain for what what was, what could have been, for him, for his future wife.
Just come around,
So that I can be found.
You can't always cope,
But you will always find hope.
In sickness and death,
Every second could be his last breath.
Dream, hope and wander
Always leave me to ponder
About the days
When I finally get out of this maze
I sometimes lose my way
And laziness always likes to come say
Hey!
It’s like I get all up in a haze
I was simply in it for the thrill
I was nimbly in it with a quill
Every time i had chills
Every rhyme had skill
Honey I would dream at times
Of a pocket full of money and a heart full of dimes
Sweet potato, Sweet Potato
Grown in the ground
Sweet potato, Sweet potato
Dusty and brown
Sweet potato, Sweet potato
For an hour you cook
Sweet potato, Sweet potato
Nursin' home
Where the ole heads roam
Sippin' tea outta gold chalices and chrome
Its seasoning,
a seizin' king
Cant hold em down
But i cant leave
At the timely time of ten,
As my eyes begin to droop,
A clown begins to chase me,
In what seems to be a loop.
And then the dream transitions,
My surroundings become clear,
In my dreams I lay awake
Trying to figure out how to escape
But then comes the beating sound
Of the people standing around
I can hear and I can feel
But Im not sure if this is real.
Every day we wake up
We fill ourselves up, and the smell of roasted coffee is strong enough to punch you
We leave our house, and count calories
Each calorie is an enemy, yet still a friend
She fell
like melted cheese
off a panini,
landed in my arms
like a terrified dog
during a thunderstorm
and oh, how she wept,
her tears rivers down my chest.
As I lay here in bed
aches throbbing in my head
nothing left to give
so much more to live
needles rip and peirce my veins
i can't scream, must endure the pain
body paralized waist down
Today I woke up.
At 8 A.M. today, I heard songbirds and opened my eyes.
And just like some fifty-thousand of the two hundred thousand in Henry County,
I rolled out of bed, pulled my pants over my legs.
Shadows are my friends,
Keeping me hidden from judging eyes.
Blanketing me with promise of safety,
And protection of hatred.
If I can't be seen by anybody,
Then I can't be hurt by them.
Empty pages that stare back,
So pure and clean,
Untainted with words,
And the markings of my imagination.
Was that not how I was before?
Ignorant, and in bliss
Not caring for the world.
Day after day
You start thinking about what you have done
You are exhausted
And you wonder when is it all going to stop
You work
And work
There are voices in my head and all around me. The voices talk. The voices scream. The voices cry. They are with me when I sleep and when I wake.
But why?
Bubbly bubbly bubbly soap
Oh how you give me some kind of hope
I step out fresh from head to toe
Even in the dark you make me glow
Everyday you clean me oh so well
So that everyone can always tell
My Cousins
Swinging together on a park swing
Holding Hands Happily
They swing higher and higher
I remember that morning
As many as three times a week
And I remember the shrieks
And I remember yelling your name with a question mark
The silence was stifling
staccato sobs through a static filter
it was unthinkable
my mind like cogs
grinding to a halt
i was speechless, my voice
failing me
what was i supposed to do
we all have one.
drugs, alcohol, sex....but what about sugar?
that need for the latest energy drink and candy bar,
eating an apple to wean yourself off of it
I try to go on a diet, eat more but less
Before Her, I struggled everyday.
My mind was filled with hordes of demons to slay.
Before Her, I started my day numb.
I had pills to swallow, life to shy away from.
Now when I feel I can't move out of bed,
Time
is
infinite.
I cannot stop time.
I can see it.
I can hear it.
I can feel it.
Time makes me cry when it passes and when it arrives,
Who am I, without my well being
To strong for Armstrong, to quick for Usain, and to intelligent for Einstein.
On my best day
I'm untouchable
She walked along a broken road,
Stiffly carrying her heavy load.
Strong for too long, almost completely beat,
She was always taking on all the heat.
Through the rain, the wind and the snow; over the hills and fighting fatigue; wanting to quit but never stopping.
All I will ever need to face the adversity life presents to me, is a pair of running shoes.
I don't need moneyI don't need fameI don't need perfection Or any other thing What I need is simple It cannot be grasped Nor can it be touched What I need lies within meIt is the beating core of lifeFor when it beats it's very drumI know that I'm
The world’s best computer
Here in my head,
Is all I need
Until I am dead.
The ability to reason
And think and decide,
If I should run
Or if I should hide.
Rock with the racquet in my hand
On the court, I move with rhythm
Get to the ball! Coach exclaims
Eagerly, I swing with my forehand
Hello Cooking
I’d like to talk you
about something
Very important
Very Special
To my big big bad belly
I don’t want it to happen
But it will get bigger
So you have to get better
The open road is beckoningAnd your minutes tick awayDon’t leave me here to rust in peaceCarpe Diem!
The will to live
Determined within
Needing that one thing
We all strive to get
Each and everyday
We want to be happy
There isn't much else
What good is anything
If you can enjoy it
It is not like the stories you once read
those men did not once show their ache
you did not think how much you soon bled
you held on, no matter how much to take
although you hid it, it was not once fake
A lot of what people "need"Is a person,That's love;Is an item,That's greed;Neither are for me.I don't "need" anyone,I don't need any single item.What I need is much simpler.All I need
Put the razor down baby
Release your iron grip of hatred from the sink
Take a step back,
Breath.
Put the razor down baby
And look up,
Into those beautiful eyes that are sick with sorrow,
Without it you wouldn’t be carbon-based.Without it you don’t have the energy to make enough ATP to move.Without it you sit in your room half-dead,that’s why certain words leave the air knocked out of you.
A generation of beauty,
wasting away into darkness,
the beauty of a smile,
the uniqueness of a beauty mark,
fading away,
I was seven, naive to the world around me.
I can still smell the rubbing alcohol and the antiseptics.
The room was white with faded green shades,
The air was cold.
Tennis Survival
I walk on the court, confident like always
My opponent is still in the hallways
Her and I have always been big rivals
You loose hope
You loose joy
As you begin to cry and mope
You recieve a hug from a young boy
He holds you tight; Don't freat
The tears then dry from the tears
The boy then says "You are not a threat"
Some may think its just a simple sport, they think its quality is short.
I think its my pain reliever, I will enjoy it even on my worst fever.
Many injuries and blood are cuased by this game.
Just a little prick at first
It all started from birth
The names and taunts
My dreams they did haunt
"you cant do this"
"your not good enough"
The voices cry inside my head
I am a Harbor
A harbor stands next to land and that is protected
and deep enough to provide safety for ships.
When I am a nurse, I will stand next to my patients
I am April Renee Silva.
I wonder how life would be right after high school.
I hear people’s attitudes being rude to one another.
I see myself trying to help the world.
I am April Renee Silva.
I was seven when I exclaimed, “I want to be a doctor!”
I have not changed much through time,
Or have I?
I have gone through high school,
I have gone through college,
Today was not a good day
Tomorrw may be the same way
But I must pray and pray
And hope for a better day
The pain I feel s rea without a doubt
It affects me inside and out
I did not ask for it
I am a child
Who needs toys, to know she’s loved, coloring books
Who loves her mom and dad, school, baby dolls
Who sees stickers, scraped knees, birthday parties
Who fears spiders, heights, time out
I think of you always. how you came to me. unexpected. not expected at all, really. a pefect match. in an instant you saved me. and we grew together, you and I. sometimes, in the beginning, I would forget you were there.
Hurry get me out of this pain Why can I not move at all? For one moment, paralasis ran through my brain.
ask any of us and we'll say it's hell
to run and run and run until our feet swell
sweaty tired faces and sore legs too
running 10 miles is a daily thing to do
I woke up this morning,
And my skin moved as I did
A thousand nerves sparked up to tell me
Hey, your blanket is soft
And your stomach is empty
Hey, the tiles are cold
and your mom is funny
The odds are real slimI guess I am the oddsI'm the 1, the 2, the 3, the 4, and the 5
In sports you play with one ball
in life you're given one soul
life is like baseball three strikes you're out
only in life three strikes you'r in prison
when you're up you're up
People say they get lost in others eyes
Well my eyes were lost the day I was born
My access to the world around me was never perfect
Some people can't see the world in color
Others can't see at all
An opaque flame that emits no light
And a white-light supernova that restricts no thing;
Everytime I hear this word,
I automatically come back to earth.
I feel like I am about put my earphones in
and adjust the volume so that it can be as loud as possible.
Breath in.
Breath out.
Go.
My legs move quick in motion.
It feels familiar, like an old friend.
I let go of all emotion.
I move like it is my time to end.
Life is tough.
Life is rough.
So get up and show your life who is stronger.
We should want life to be longer.
Get up go to the gym.
Get Slim.
Be Happy
Be a little Sappy.
Dont be weak
Colours we strive to leave behind, Hope of a future beyond our lives.
A legacy at the mercy of future generations, It's the only variation.
No, i cant see life without it
once absent of rhythm, peers always doubting
the gestures of my body were compared to fools and clowning.
The beat is impetuous, as it births genius movement
Once you have emerged from the beer damp and shivered tunnel, the sun will swallow you and spit you out—no, I swear—and then the stadium will open up before you like a modern cathedral. If you get there early you will see the regular wo
It’s about to start,
Take a deep breath in.
Don’t worry about other people,
This is for you.
Training endlessly,
For what?A medal?A chance to make headlines?No, none of that.
I open my eyes and look towards my feet.
There are weights on a wall seeming to stare at me.
Lost I am,
Deep within the wounds,
Wounds of situations I wish would end soon,
Lost I am,
Confused and hopeless,
Struggling to find myself in world of "nope-ness"
Lost I am,
Inhale, now exhale. Close yours eyes and tell yourself you wont fail.Sweat down my back, muscles weakening.fatigue is trying to bring me down, but my mind isn't giving in.
I find it difficult to run for numbers these days.
I go out to cross the finish line, I pat myself on the back
simply for making it through. The people I love
watch me and not watches, they offer their supportive shoulders
I am who I am and I do what I do
Not just a disease like the cold or a flu
Not even cancer can define who I am
Because now I can hold it in the palm of my hand
One, two, three-
Organized alphabetically.
Four, five, six-
this must have a fix.
Seven, eight, nine-
but I hate to whine.
Ten, elven, twelve-
mentally it delves.
All I want to be Is the girl on a magazine,
But she isn’t real.
All I want to be
Is that girl all the boys see,
But I know her body is that way naturally.
I don’t hate me
But I want to change me.
Flawless
A powerful term
Not many are worthy of that word
Why am I unique?
I am at my peak
My passion for law enforcement burns
It is above any other concern
My dedication has no limits
Well things all changed
With a snap, crackle, and pop
My clavicle was fractured
The pain had made me drop
It didnt even start
But yet it all ended
My Junior season was over
One. I go to the doctor's office.
He looks at me with an intense face,
Grim
Like I have an illness more serious than cancer.
My heart starts pounding, I'm afraid
I ask
"What is it doc?"
The brain is a magnificent thing
A blessing and a curse
Serotonin, Dopamine, and Norepinephrine
Something wasn't balanced
Depression, mania, and anxiety
The psychiatrist tells me I need medication
I work and work, I grind and grind,
Go about my day with leaving nothing behind.
I train night and day like there's no tomorrow.
Because the thought of failing fills me with sorrow.
Short of breath short of life-asthma
My lungs are enslaved laborers
Constantly working over time with no reinbursment
Too cold too hot asthma you're a petty one
Looking at my face
You'd never know
In my life
A war grows
On the outside
I`m filled with life
On the inside
I`m dying
Not from sorrow
Not from strife
Literally I fight
7am every morning
day in
day out
no breaks
work, school, sleep
repeat
what keeps me going
i don't want to go to the gym today
or school
or work
I go through my days with a smile on my face, while I silently scream in my head.
Those around me don't know how badly I hurt inside.
Those who can see pretend they don't, they would rather think I really am happy.
I go through my days with a smile on my face, while I silently scream in my head.
Those around me don't know how badly I hurt inside.

She is perfect.
Prosperous grades,
Belle hair,
Admirable girl.
She's stuck up.
Favorable grades,
Pretty hair,
Commendable girl.
Her home is broken but she has
Ten
seconds left.
Start the countdown.
Engines ready!
Get the party started!
Nine
seconds to go.
Hold on tight.
I hear the ride is bumpy
and the road's full of potholes.
Who is this girl in the mirror?
Everyone seems to know her but me.
I stare in the mirror and who do I see?
A friend or my darkest enemy?
A beautiful gal or nobody's pal?
Roses are flowers and so are violets.
I really like nursing, it is my dream.
I'm gonna help people and that's important.
Who knows? I might help your child someday.
My rhyming is terrible and so is this poem,
My alarm shrieks
and almost robotically
my arms and legs
remove the covers
and put me on my feet.
I fumble across my
squeaky bedroom floor,
reaching blindly into
the darkness
I step out carefully,
feeling,
more than listening,
to the nuance of the music
I let myself linger
reaching out, breathing out
My energy rises,
my steps quicken,
My love for fashion wildly grows,
For everytime I walk into a store
I cannot help, but buy more clothes;
I shop, and shop until I snore.
Blouses, skirts, and pants alike,
Time
Tic, toc, tic...
The infinite sounds of time
The infinite turning of the hands
The withered leaves
The abandoned buildings that used to be
I am clumsy like a leaf.
I hit the ground with disbelief.
I was shaken by the wind
and couldn't get back up again.
The doctor said it was a tear
so a boot I'd have to wear.
I find my smile in a round ball. I kick it and chase it throughout the halls. On game day my stomach churns but I know I will not fail. No one else is up to my scale. Scoring goals and winning games that is what makes my day a little less lame.
When i am in the gym i feel at peace,
The hard work and the sweat prove to me my determination,
When i find myself angry the gym is a release,
This body i build, my very own creation,
Makoura is me,
I am Makoura
I live in an oval
Full of eight lanes
With one big heart
Many people wish to live here
But not many are willing
To make the sacrifice
and work it takes,
What is happiness?
It is the feeling you get when waking up on Christmas morning,
It is the sound of laughter while being surrounded by your closest friends,
What is happiness?
It is the feeling you get when waking up on Christmas morning,
It is the sound of laughter while being surrounded by your closest friends,
Bouncing bouncing, the echoes silent around the room
bouncing bouncing, the echoes silent in my tomb.
As it bounces the crisp sound of a whip is heard,
through the net, back on the court, bouncing...
Strange faces surround me.
Filled with sorrow, concern, and fear.
Did I know them? Who could they be?
People linger I can’t help but leer.
I awoke in a different place.
Rushing thoughts
empty ideas
heart beats fast
comprehension slow
going in circles
around a drain
around a block
lost or losing
Oh, the intensity that I feelThe sweat dripping down my faceI concentrate on the stealNo, it does not include a base
Alive I still am, despite the scars, and countless IV stabs.
Fighting for life has been my strive.
Numerous visits to labs, and hospitals become me.
I keep blocking it out
Tying not to hear it
Can't face the truth
Can't bear to stand it
Trying to stay strong
But it's so hard to do
Because I can't help but hurt
Finally the time has come to run
Spring time is always filled with so much fun
Laughs and cheers fill me with bliss
Everyone is over joyed and the snow will not be missed.
As time flies by the better I get
Staying focused is hard ,but lets make a bet
That I will push until there is nothing left
My Dream pushes me every day
Same routine day after day
Imagine you wake up after a full night’s sleep
Feeling as if you got no sleep at all.
Your joints ache and creak.
You can barely walk out of your bedroom.
You sit around your house all day,
You see that person sitting alone?
That person hiding pain behind a smile?
Had you even looked into their file
Would you not have seen the suffering?
Would you not understand?
You see that person?
This long, wavy, blond hair represents her soul. It represents the blood, the sweat, the tears of that month. It reminded her of the only thing she felt she had left.
When the rest of the world seems like a movie reel
Spinning incessantly
Spitting useless nonsense
Faster than you can process,
But it's playing a beautiful picture
You've heard
Walking in to a place that not many understand
Sometimes not even feeling like a groan man
Broken and torn down from the lonely road
The wear and tear from this heavy load
We don't talk about how I cried myself to sleep for months
We don't talk about how I didn't want to live any more
We don't talk about how I couldn't have children
With a helping hand, I'll be there to help you stand.
When yuou need someone to be there, look no further than right here.
This future Medical Assistant has a healing touch, for when it seems like its just too much.
My entire life I fought a war;The struggle of weight and a healthy core.The kids were always as harsh as could be;They never understood what it was like to be me.
The spirit of a Pioneer is strength from within,From the field of battle comes the roar of a win.The blue stands filled with a crowdThe blue band playing proud.The gifts from above and the determination below
Do you ever feel like you are made of glass—
Ever trying to reflect the sumptuous nature of the light
Scratched but not yet broken
On the brink of shattering into far too many pieces to reconstruct you
Doctor tells me these words, "You have Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy."
"This means that your heart muscles are too weak to support you."
He prescribes me another seven medications and sends me on my way.
At home, I get curious,
Do you ever feel like you are made of glass—
Ever trying to reflect the sumptuous nature of the light
Scratched but not yet broken
On the brink of shattering into far too many pieces to reconstruct you
Do you ever feel like you are made of glass—
Ever trying to reflect the sumptuous nature of the light
Scratched but not yet broken
On the brink of shattering into far too many pieces to reconstruct you
Although I have not lived a hard-knock life I have been through some struggles
Of not knowing who I am or what I want
Constantly and repeatedly putting myself in a bubble
My lack of honesty would cause me so much pain
The pounding on the asphalt is all you can hear as your body takes a chance of letting out your fears
the pain in your legs, a dull ache as the exaustion begins to make them shake
With so much to think about
It barely rests
As time goes on, it thinks about moving on
Should animals go extinct,
This mind filled with thoughts would retreat
As months turn into weeks
Words that never escape your lips
The cheeks you’ll never kiss
The fantasy of bliss
You’ll never see
No sight! No taste!
I’ve lost senses.
A cane? A limp?
Yet atitude still skimp
Jump into my shoes and one would see
That limping through high school wouldn’t leave one with glee.
Anesteshia seemed to be my only friend
buh she tricked me bac into life again
doc shoulda jus left it out clean my body let me go
its too much on this road
too much made me fall
Shake it Out, Let it Loose
Don’t stop moving until you got the juice
BANG
Yes you go this and you’re on your way
You’re feeling great and feeling okay
My 87 grandmother has been through a lot.
She’s had five different cancers,
Multiple tumors, intestine troubles, and a stroke.
She lost all control of her body, time after time.
But she never gave up.
The precise beauty of daylight is too valuable to waste,I love to exercise, never in haste.As I walk downward, towards the lake,All my senses are fully awake.
I lay in bed
My body warm
Inspiration has come
In painful form
Physical torment
Parental grief
But I am alive
I sense their relief
The tumor is out
It's been days when you've been just sitting there relaxing
Relaxing like you don't feel those contractions
It's been years since you felt satisfation
It's time for a change, put in action!
Everything must fit:
Lines run to the left
over strokes going right.
Bunching and stretching,
proteins moving and changing.
Parades of cells
marching by, in
columns and columns
and rows
My feet touched the velvety green that lie beyond my door
I knew it was grass but couldn't remember the feel anymore
The sky, a beautiful blue orb with splotches of white and grey
What little time to care, to change;
Oh how much time is tossed and turned away
For the pursuit of glory and fame;
Am I any different?
To this I say "Nay."
Though heroes of old, enriched in their tales,
Water, air, and wind. You are sitting on this Earth alive, breathing every second of every minute.
There's one of you.
You have a heart. Can you hear it? It's pumping blood, working every second of every minute.
What would you do,
What would you say,
If someone said to draw your troubles away?
Would you paint landscapes of fire,
A mission, a venture, a task to complete
Not to meet, but to reach above the level at which you compete.
Gear up for the storm, ready yourself for tension
Eight hours until practice and the house is still boisterous
Seven hours until practice and the television is blasting
Six hours until practice and the yelling downstairs is moving continuous
When someone says thank you
That look of relief,
These are the things that I think are neat.
The twelve hour nights
The patients that fight,
These are the things that make me sigh.
Running...Breathing...
In and Out. 1-2-3
Trees. Cars. wow FAST
who's in front?
What disease has plagued us
causing generous people to become so treacherous?
Is it poverty, obesity, or something with the heart
I wore these, these latex gloves
Tinged by the crimson life
Poured out from a being
I held the core,
Its rhythm etched into my fingers
Once I dream a dream of me, I was a doctor, I create smiles by taking care others
Life is not easy to give.
Impermanent like the soft wind that caresses one’s cheek.
Convoluted like the active glomerulus inside both kidneys.
Dense like the bones wrapped in muscles and skin.
A step away from victory
An inch away from the final
A lengths away from The End
Frustration, Disappointment, Blues
The ringing sensation of failure lingers
You leave wishing
I sleep in fear,
While clinging to my life.
I held your hand
When you were not there.
Where did you go?
I refuse to touch
Upon the pain I feel,
I want to be successful in life you see, that's why I've taken my time on choosing what I want to be. I could have chosen a
As the seasons collide,
The persistence grows,
The uncontested eagle flies,
The adversity merely shows.
From start to finish, the flag is raised,
Time is of the essences,
One job may change my life
but if I make it my life it becomes so much more.
No matter what I do, or what you do,
It is important we do what we want,
It is important we do what we love,
For the greater good, for the information that the people need
The people that work hard to find new technolgoies,
tests, and cures
that will heal the sick -
I saw a smuge of eyeliner
on her sunned, freckled cheek
I wish I didn't have to watch her shimmy
sighing hard
into her jeans
or smearing her lipstick
on a dry dark mouth
Help people. Help the world.
Help myself.
How?
With one job.
One job...may change my life...
My work. Rippling into others' worlds.
Change lives. Save lives.
This is what doctors do.
Our Heart beats oil, nourishing the blisters of our skin. Laying in a hopeless state and devouring the prescribed saturated medicine. When the hunger strikes again, you must see the doctor. His name is Dr. McDonalds and rumor has it he's Legit.
It was an empty abyss, one that many people know or have seen. That blank stare that screams more powerfully than words ever could.
Change is something difficult, Not something that can be done in a day, you must work hard to get where we wants to be, for me it's to be healthy, not skinny but thin, not lighter but stronger, someone that I'd be proud of when I see how far I'
Me, me, me
Who am I?
It all comes down to that question.
I am not who I was one minute ago
Yet I see no difference
How subjected thus?
I only wish to be whom I destined to be
Earning the blessing to be a pharmaceutical scientist…that is probably one of the most selfless things conceivable to me.Every day on the job will be an effort to eradicate disease.Tuition,SAT,GPA,SSL hours?
To help save a life
tears are shed all good and bad,
so many different sizes
all of the utmost importance;
As Seasons Change I Look Back
And Ponder On What I Lack
I Think About How I Could Grow
And What Would I Show
What Could I Do To Improve Trife
In This World And My Life
Pharmacology, the precursor of modern medication, It catalyzes all my dreams,
My dream job is to serve as a doctor
I never thought this kind of occupation could open for me
But the more my heart grows for the people,
I burst with a fight inside
A fight to beat cancer for others
What is the most powerful thing in the world?
Is it the desire to achieve greatness?
Or is it your desire to crawl out of bed in the morning knowing you have to get to class and can't be late?
Society’s definition of beauty is highly skewed
Depicting only images of skinny people is rude
You don’t need to ne stick thin to be pretty
Beauty can be found in people who are witty
I am a six year old girl
Swinging my legs from a comfy bench
Blowing bubbles at my dad’s face
His glasses film over with soap
All is great right?
Well I’m actually positioned securely
Just one child
the time of day.
Just one child
help the pain go away.
I am here to help.
I am here to hear.
I am here to take care of you.
I will not be defined by giving up.
My dreams are big and growing.
In my future, the world cup.
The gym, so musty and cool.
The weights clanging against the ground.
The buff guy, I thought “what a tool.”
The hydraulics hissed, and gave out a sigh.
The tap-tap-tap, of feet on the treadmill.
Modern times deliver new changes
equal wages equal rights and equal lives
tattoos and piercings as common as high fives
anyone can get married
and even hair color has become varied
It came without warning
It came fast
It attacked people I love
It took my wife's ability to have children
It took my dad's ability to farm
It doesn't pick and choose
Just slithers about
Jumping over the obstacle and breaking through,
No one is going to tell me what I can and cannot do.
I've got my shoes laced up and headphones in,
The beat of the music telling me the power comes from within.
Whats my verese? will My verse,
is not build from pain or loneliness.
It's not based on the past or the present,
its the tomorrow.
I don't believe in things, or people, not
even Life itself.
When the time comes it will be my turn to live the dream,
the one thing that would change my life is becoming a physician.
I want to change lives, one DNA strand at a time.
The key to wellness, is abandoning the helplessness.
We need to provide knowledge, so here I am at college,
separated from home by hundreds of miles,
Barefeet running through green grass
Hair wiping to and fro gently in the breeze
Sunshine reflecting off eyes colored brass
Loving the wispers of the seas
She sounds goregous, free and alive
To feel love is not a sin
To feel love come from the soul within When the cold wind blows and you lose your way
Keep your faith don’t let the colors turn grey
Cancer.
It's a strong word. Very strong actually.
It's a word that can bring about emotions that are so heavy, even the strongest of people can't hold them.
Shock. Uncertainty. Devestation. Desperatness.
3 months of my life
I don't remember
Nuerons dying
Brain bruised
When I woke up from the sudden sleep
I had no answers
The Doctors who have dedicated their
entire
We all have fantasies
About our future,
Our love life,
Our career,
When we’ll die,
How long we’ll live,
We all fantasize something.
Sometimes though,
We let them take over us.
Waking up in the morning,
At six thirty A.M.
Walk through the doors,
With only a monster in hand.
After slaving for nearly a year,
What im doing?
Ive done this before,
I dont need to hear.
Being healthy is very important to me,
On nights, and weekends when others party,
I am one with the iron I am lifting.
When others make the decision to eat unhealthy,
I write to encourage
I write to be free
I write to make love
To the words that I see
Inside my head
A disease,
That no ones knows,
But it stings like bees,
Yet still no one sees.
My father,
Has this curse,
He looks at his daughter,
She knows it hurts.
Go to bed at eleven
Wake up at seven
Go to the sink
Then look at the mirror and blink
Brush my teeth
Brush my teeth
Gargle some crest
Now I’m minty fresh
Oh how I treasure my sweet Mountain Dew,
Whose fluorescent liquid gleams like the sun.
Providing pleasure to more than a few,
Your sugar content prompts my heart to run.
Like sweet Jupiter, the bringer of joy,
A few months old
I watch around,
Three years bold
I am safe and sound,
Five year leader
small, mighty and loud,
Eight years eager
I might as well be crowned,
Rebellious at ten
My passion lies within the iorn.
With it, I fight for what I desire.
I sweat, and I cramp. I relish the burn.
Armed with it, my tendons are like fire.
At war with genetics, I'm sure to lose.
I wish I could remember
How I felt just last December
Before everything went wrong
When the days became long
I always knew there would come a time
Not long after is when God gave me a sign
Feel the fear running through your viens
Feel the fear breathing on your neck
Feel the fear confonting your mind
BUT DON'T LET IT TAKE OVER!
Fly like you've never flyed before
I've much to do
A full schedule
I'm busy
Every hour but a few
Never a lull
It makes me dizzy
I don't have much time to exercise
Or to watch what I eat
But I tell my body lies
Beth & Natalie
No words strong enough in tragedy,
Loving you with every breath.
Forevermore, watching over us
Won't you dare to bleed,
Pen and paper breathe.
Fortune favors the brave,
the ink is not so grey.
There's no reason to hide,
behind the mask, behind the past.
Oh Renaissance Man,
Sitting on the warm hard tiles engulfed with water and soap
Pondering about life and all of its hope
The water stops and the door swings open
Only to reveal a provoking commotion
These cold hands are stuggling
Can't get warm if anything
I try and try again
Only to get colder than
The heart of this dead body walking
I can't resist the coughing
What are you thinking kid?
You think you got it bad?
Well let me tell you a story
One that'll spin your head.
We don't even deserve this life
We deserve to die
The wall of the wave comes powering forward from a small distance
My heart races with beat of my stroke as I paddle into a good position
Chubby Will Not Be My Middle Name
A table set with perfection
Not a single article out of place
My family gathers around holding hands
We then recite Grace
I lie awake; I try to sleep,
In the middle of the night.
I think about the secrets I keep,
In the middle of the night.
Some people love chocolate, sugar, and cakes
But I must say that I love dates!
Icecream, coco and peppermint
don`t satify me, no not one bit.
surly if I am healthy,
I also will be wealthy.
The sky, it's so blue . The grass, it's so green. The air, it's so crisp. The sun, it's so warm. Why would anyone, anyone, want to remian inside. Closed off.
You
Make me feel like
A million desperate little pieces
Aching to hold each other together
When your hand is in mine
So quivers my heart in joy and delight
To raise the gold trophy in sweet valedictory
It took my complete strength, and tireless might
To appetite my quench for victory
I met a girl on the trax platform,
through a simple act of kindness we became friends,
through an act of absence we became more then friends,
through an act of dishonesty we despised eachother,
As I'm sitting here begging you please hold on
You gotta promise me you won't leave me alone
But don't lie to me and set off on your own
Before I even know you're already gone
For a long time I changed myselfBecause I never gave myself the Time and opportunity the ability to Understand myself
Dear Marlo,
Drum, Drum, Drum
I’m like a spy
Drum, Drum, Drum
I sound like I'm steppping on clouds in the sky
So I run into the kitchen
As sly as a mouse
I suffer from anaphylaxis allergies.
I was born trying to die. I was allergic to clothes and food and hugs from careless aunts and the outside. But I was loved.
I suffer from anaphylaxis allergies.
If you look deep in my eyes
You could find out about me
I never express it
Unless it's in poetry
Running down the court,
Fast and in a sport.
All of a sudden she stops,
With a jump shop.
I slam the door again,
as I enter my solitude, it's now my only peace.
Long ago I made a goal,
to forever be that person that nobody needed to worry about.
The line stretched across the field, holding back the competitors like an electric fence. Crowded behind stood the athletes, sweating a mix of anxiety and excitement.
From a crack I grew
Born to die
I learned to live life anew
And to always thrive
I'm young and I head the beeps
I look over to my moms tears
We're both restless and cant sleep
When the lunch bell rings, students groan with dismay
As they choke down mystery meat long after its slay.
With the retched appearance, gagging fills the hall
As students wonder why they must suffer at all.
Distress.
I lay there in a bed that's not even mine, my tongue still
scorched from earl grey tea that now begins to simmer into
my bloodstream, taming my trembling fingers
and knocked knees.
Nearly crumbling on the edge of sanity — tip-toed, teetering and tottering
I am ready to collapse at any given moment,
at any given second.
I am fairly certain of my inadequate understanding of this world.
Its scenic sides of beauty,
cannot compare to the city,
as we hike up and down the mountain side,
all we can do is glide,
but in our minds we think when does this journey end,
Light like the dandilions in the midsts of April.Fresh like the grass gleaming greenCalm like the summers breezeExilirating like the morning humming birds
Four hours of tourcher have now passed.
The bell has now rung,
Everyone races to the lunch room.
Dashing and skipping to the front of the line,
Their eyes widen like a flower in the spring that blooms.
Helping people is something that is a passion for me. I dont know what it is but I just enjoy and love helping people. I have been the most caring and giving person since I was just a little girl.
My food in school is quite terrible
And the pizza is frankly unbearable
The Meat’s pink in the middle
(Of which there is little)
And where this food was grown cannot be arable.
I want to be a creator
A contributer
and every day my field lies fallow
my soul rots
and I slowly fade
Peaks of good and bad
Patterned patches of plaid
Life clenches us in its hands
We must pay for what life demands
For if we do not
LIfe will leave us out to rot
It can loosen its hold
Running for hours It's the story of my life Learning of myself
The Dangers of Sedentariness-
Some people that relieve stress with rage
Are freedomless, locked up in a cage.
No liberty to run.
Not even to have fun.
With a future of minimum wage.
Sitting in silence turning this daymomments sweep by, memories stray. the beauty of change is that in the mind,even the sweetest momments go bye. So dont hold on to memories they arnt stillthey are simply important if you give them the will.let th
Don't judge me because I'm a jock
Doesn't mean I'm dumb or one of the flock
Of guys who live and die by the clock
Who don't care about grades and c hoose to mock.
There's more to being part of the team
My soul is so empty, you've taken all of me
From my breath to my heart, you've consumed me
No pulse no beat, I'm all dried out
The love that once was is now all gone, you've moved on ... you can do without me now
Death, be proud,
For you have covered life in silend shroud
Is it not so?
That even the virtuous have let go?
Indomitable Death, not overcome by love
I love you
I do
I think I'm even in love with you
When I see your sweet side
It melts my heart completely
It scares me sometimes
I wonder if its real
Could it really be
Ever since I was young, I've had one dream
To hold up a gold ball with my team;
But now that I am older, I come torealize
That trophies are not valued by their size.
Sports gives us trophies that we have never known
Unfit I was, high school started.
Scared of words, I suffered
Months of hunger, I chose
Not small enough, I continued.
At a time where anorexia played a factor,
Words from others became a fear.
What happens to you when you found out that your life will end, if you continue to fall in the lies told by obesity? Well that type of situation happened to me just at the tender age of 15. Obesity has been my best friend since I was very young.
Coma..
Your body next to me, It's like a dream,
So warm, so soft, I never want to escape,
This suffocating feeling of embrace,
You breath on my cheek,
You doby twitches, so slightly
Sit, sit, sit.
All we do is sit.
Is there any exercise?
There is none of it.
Sleep, sleep, sleep.
All we do is sleep.
"Can we take a walk please, sir?"
"No, don't make a peep!"
I used to be strong.
I never fell down.
I tumbled
So close
But so far from the ground.
I held people up.
I’d say,
A boy named Kaj on his way to class
Collapsed.
Friends took him to the health center,
Then to the hospital.
Not only had he collapsed on the ground,
His lung had collapsed inside him.
Come on Taylor, do work, Lets Go MULES
I love this feeling in my body
Pearl City High School against Leilehua High School
I run for me, and not for you.
It's time to improve myself, and be the person I want to be.
I lift because it makes me stronger, and gives me power.
Every muscle cramp fuels me to go harder.
My body aches. I sweat.
My muscles hurt. I sweat.
Exersice causes me to sweat
I sweat out my pains, and my fears
I sweat, to feel.
Lacrosse is my favorite sport
I love running and I love to score
Without lacrosse my life would be a bore
I never want to quit I only want more
When I am on the field I run as fast as I can
Love, love comes and goes without a trace
It holds you, and leaves you when you need it the most
It's everywhere and nowhere !!!
It's magic, tragic, and fantastic
I heard stories from my aunt, who was a nurse.
In a hospital. A baby nurse.
I wanted to be a baby nurse.
I wanted to hold the preemies,
Feed them their tiny bottles.
I wanted to wear blue scrubs like her
How bad do you want it?
Reaching for the top, lap after lap
Shot after shot, my body can’t stop
Because my hear won’t let it
Gold is the goal, I won’t stop even once I’ve met it
Whatever it takes
Freedom on the field
Freedom on the court
Hard work hall not yield
Because I love these sports.
Sweat on my chest,
Sweat on my face,
No pain,
No gain,
That is what they always say,
We go through this life,
Feeling the pain,
But don't give up,
When the going gets tough,
Pull it together,
It's only a rut,
"As soon as you walk in tomorrow turn in your homework"
See my teacher expects me to waltz up in here,
doing stuff we are never going to apply to life.
y=mc to the power of "why am even i here"
Why am I always the one to get hurt?Does pain have no compassion?Let the fierceness of the stormCalm downCause the waves keep pushing meAway from life and reality
Does it ever feel like your life is crumbling?
Like problems keep tumbling
And you cannot stop struggling?
Have you ever been told just a little thing
That causes the anxiety inside to take over and win
Poka Dots and Stripes
T-shirts and Pj's
I love all these types
What time is my bed time?
Right hre are my socks
I want my monkey
although he needs shot,
These socks are quite funky!
Sitting, day after day
In a cold boring room,
The light bulbs flicker away
And the air reeks of gloom.
The walls hold me tight,
They keep me in line,
Remind me night after night,
I open the window
it indicates its a new day
It’s raining once again
so I turn away
“It’s gonna be alright”
Are the words I try to say
Fear is unknown
Emotions can't be shown
This is a field of battle where you must hold your own
Not for your self but for your team
A group of guys who don't seem
To strive to acquire the same goal
The briny breathes of the Humber welcomed my parents to the its shores,
and left their cheeks flushed along with their hair unkempt.
Run.
Go forward,
Trust your legs.
Are they pillars or twigs?
Faster.
Like Hell.
Towards The Destination.
Times’ scythe nips at your heels.
Recover.
She’s trapped inside,Inside the walls,That once was her mind,The woman she used to be,Has long been gone.There are many times,Memories amble through her mind,But then they slowly fade,
The summer of 2010 was the beginning of the end.
From then on, my soccer career started to descend.
As I played that game on that humid, Louisiana day,
I should have cherished my ability to play.
I breath in, and out.
Slowly at first, quicker as I go.
Hair begins to tangle.
My skin becomes clammy.
I continue, my throat dries.
Faster, harder, longer.
Yesterday is behind me, move on.
I look in the mirror and see many faces.I see the face of a seventeen year old girl,Shoulder length brown hair and circles under her eyes.Wipe off the mirror with your sleeve,and you’ll see something more.
Fix it, the bed you wake up inFix the mattress. The place you call a casket for your dead dreams Fix it.
Forethought to Audience: Each stanza contains at least one symbol of an unfortunate circumstance that has occurred in my life. If a person has changed, their past doesn’t portray who they are. Rather it shows others how strong they are.
What is health?
It's more than just self wealth
It may be seem hard and be out of sight
Relax, all you have to do is exercise and eat right
Being healthy makes you feel better
Stress is like the Black PlagueIt trickles from the inner most depths of the soul, progressively towards the mind and forms into a monstrous creature that corrupts your entire body. There's no way to fight it , no way to relieve it.
In silence, the monitor beeps.
One button and it all stops.
And now he sleeps.
Hospitals give most the creeps,
The dim lights and dark halls.
In silence, the monitor beeps.
I had been overweight for a while
too many donuts and I couldn't run a mile
I ditched pizza and cakes
for running and lifting weights
Now I spend more time at the gym and in the kitchen
Everlasting
That's what he said we'd be
Forever Loving
Soon became hard breath
'cause in my head were disillusion
you can't understand
and in my head, I'd found the perfect man
Everlasting
That's what he said we'd be
Forever Loving
Soon became hard breath
'cause in my head were disillusion
you can't understand
and in my head, I'd found the perfect man
I wish I was famousSo I could expose your greatnessI want the world to seeHow much you mean to me
some people play this sport, either your tall or short, basketball is the game, up and down, round and round, shoot and wish, you hear a swish
I don't even remember,
the times I used to cry
All that I can remember,
was redness in my eyes
I keep on laughling,
like the light is all I see,
when deep down inside,
I'm tired of being me
Just Breathe.
Take a breath,
Realize it’s an action we take for granted every day.
I tell myself…
to "just breathe" when I’m stressed,
to "just breathe" when I’m angry,
6:05am. My alarm beeps 13 sharp, incessant shrills that shake me up and drag me out of bed, onto my yoga mat. The house is silent and there's just enough dark to see. I inhale deep…exhale deeper, letting my breath roll over my head.
I cried an ocean of tears.
Then I swam through all my fears.
Just to get to you.
I was never afraid
To prove it!
I have always loved you.
You always knew it.
I would do everything
You follow coincidence down the path of least resistance
Your decisions dictated by circumstance
Your every move driven by nature and nurture
It is not too late
To live intentionally
I stacked them up as tall as the sky
Which may sound like very high
Though really it was just a lie,
Probably because I was small in size.
My mother brought them home each month,
There's a point in time when sadness becomes unshakeable.
and becomes a being whos thirst for bearing pain is insatiable.
When you allow it to, sadness will find a voice of it's own and start speaking
When I see you come from yonder
I feel a strong, fast ponder.
Yes the sensation in my chest
only that and not the rest.
Sometimes it's fast or it could be slow
but what about the blood that flows?
P { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }
The P.E teachers at school
Always said, “Get another lap in there!” “Don’t stop moving!”
You struggle and struggle...
Trying to finish strong
The morning came
And everything was the same, except it wasn’t.
You hear voices
But you don’t know what they’re saying.
Everything you once knew before
Is lost like your football t-shirt from middle school.
Dreams fade
Goals aid
It's the cold brigade
The heart played
Hands swayed
And hair frayed
Dreams delayed
Goals persuade
-She walked along the darkness of it all. That was it. The darkness, it seemed like she was blind walking without seeing anything around her. The Abyss.
Making sence of things,
how did we get here?
So in love with you,
in love with me.
Won't ever let go.
Completing me,
completing you.
Without you I'll die.
Our happiness can't be judged by the money we haveIt can't be judged by the objects we ownNot even the smile we put on to hideAll the saddness that we've built up inside
My body broke down on me, and it was my hardest realization, to not be like everyone else.
Doctors told me, by the way you have lupus, no sunlight, here's some drugs and then I was home,
Every day I keep working towards my goals:
I eat healthy,
I exercise,
I drink water,
I get my needed rest,
and soon it will all pay off.
Inhale
Exhale
Bounce
Toss
Load
Jump
SLAM!
Recover.
Turn left
Prepare
Backhand
WHOOSH!
Recover.
Remember to breathe!
What next?
A migraine is a war zone
Popping, banging, booming
Thumping in my head
A migraine is my worst nightmare
Like someone stabbing me in the head
The agonizing pain, the squeezing, splitting effects are terrifying
I would like to thank you from the bottom of my hart......There is so much to say I don't know where to start.......But here it goes remember it's from my hart....You are everything and more to me ........My sun my moon my ocean my sea.....The oxy

Why I Write Scholarship
08/10/2013
Troubling Inspiration
Married, four kids, a big household
Working for a company with a huge work load
Simple letters joined together to make words and a mere piece of paper created to record
In life there are moments we rather face alone as a time of reflection or moment to console
Loving you is like walking ten miles of bad road on a hot summers day..........Sometimes I want to give up and stop walking but I go on anyway.......What kind of fool goes on walking the same old rocky road day after day ........When each step he
I can still see her deep brown glistening eyes
The way that she walked around with nothing to disguise
I can still smell the sharp expensive perfume
Close your eyes and imagine how I feel.
I feel like the clear blue sky,
I feel like the confidence girls have while wearing short skirts.
I am,
the fresh air breathed in,
Every day from noon until evening,
You’ve devoted your whole childhood.
What once was a hobby quickly became a lifestyle.
I once had a twisted spine,
But my curved back is now aligned.
With bolted screws and titanium rods,
I was lucky enough to beat the odds.
I went through not 1, but 2 surgeries.
What more can I say
But that I hate Valentine's Day
And all the stupid clichés
I mean, come on
Get real
Roses and flowers only lead to allergies
Chocolate and strawberries lead to more calories
The abandonment that I have experienced,
no other should feel.
Enjoy your family, if not for you.
Do it for the peole like me.
People who have no mother to say "I love you".
We hear the anthem singing in th wind.
We cant wait for the game to begin.
All we want to do is beat the other team.
As we do it, we like to hear the fans' scream!
When we step up to the plate to hit,
I am a Vegan
I love fruits and vegetables
Love to exercise
My body is a temple
Let food be my medicine.
Pulling aside the dark curtain, sunlight falls in
Like a spilled bottle, the light runs over me
Shrinking away from the light till my eyes adjust
Running is my second religion,<br> Kick boxing is my third.<br> My happiness is opposite of a smidgen,<br> these things my age is often unheard!<br> I'm healthy and smart,<br> and no matter what people say,<br>
he can only feel
if he's slicing his skin open
if he can feel blood
pouring from a wound
he can only feel
if the feeling is pain
the more it hurts
Stressed, frustrated, or angry
Words pour out.
Letters turn to words, words turn to sentences.
Emotions guide my hand.
Almost done with the page
I'm feeling less frustrated.
I will prove you wrong.
I will show you that I can.
I will never quit.
I will fight for it.
I will be knocked down.
I will want to stop.
I will get back up.
I will do it for ME.
Who's alive and out to thrive. By and by we must try. Earth is abundant don't just be a pundit.
My feet are set
I am down and ready
My brow breaks into a sweat
But I keep my focus steady
Bang! My heart leapt with the shot
My adrenaline began to flow
My blood ran hot
As I let my body go
Two golden, iridescent globesFlames shining through the dusk withRegret;Enlightenment.
Innocent hands tarnished, sinking spiritBlood red petals blossom on the angelic curtainRealization;Resolution.
Something calls beneath my veins
what's suppose to be quiet is now so loudly insane
I hear my pulse quickening as the beating drums
quicken faster to the searing sun
it's racing faster as I try to breathe
My oh my
How I live to die
For this delicious fry
What else would I want in life
Besides my health cut with a knife
The knife of a shortened life
Latey I've been feeling a little dead inside ........It's been along time since I let my freak flag fry.........It just seems like life is just aboar ......Since I don't have you to share it with me anymore .......So please give this old fool a se
Back and forth I go,
Swinging to and fro,
As the world spins below,
For a reason I do not know.
Pumping my legs and gaining height.
Thinking that the spinning would stop and hoping that it might.
As my nails hit the keyboard, I find my flow.
I write because I have something to say or there's something I wanna know.
I can't stop. I won't stop.
I've found my release.
WHEN CHAMPIONS ARE MADE
Its' the dead of winter
It's January, February, and March
That;s when it counts,
Where you become faster and stronger
This is when dedication turns to starting time
In a world full of pain and fear she finds peace
In a world full of darkness and cold she finds light and warmth
In a world full of despair she finds faith
She knows not of the life outside this dark room
Big white and shiny,
The tooth glistens in his mouth
Waiting for a meal.
A chew so graceful,
Helping relieve the hunger
So you do not starve.
And now after work
cancer can chemically commence critical coma.
colon cancer close cartilage
people penalize pure patients

There once was am man with cancer
His name was Mr.Dancer
He loved to sing
He loved to dance
but could not find a partner.
I'm not an addict of drugs nor self inflicting pain
I'm an addict of a body I wish to never see again.
The story starts with an obese girl,
she swore to herself she would lose all the weight and conquer the world.
"Hey baby" you said as I came in
Running to tackle-hug you in
the green velvety lounge chair
nearly tipping you over
Your cheeks ruddy with laughter as you taught me how to
swim
The reasons I write are like
stars in the night.
Numerous and bright;
I sit in awe, in the light
that comes from lines
Of my emotions, my truth.
With my pen as the sleuth
I FEEL YOUR PAIN....I KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO FEEL LIKE NOBODY LOVES YOU OR CARES ABOUT YOU...I KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO HAVE NOTHING...HAVING NOTHING MAKES YOU TURN AGAINST YOUR FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES...I KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO WANT TO KILL YOURSELF BUT D
“Why did this happen to me?”
I ask this all the time.
“Will I have a spasm today?”
I ponder in my mind.
My friends, they all worry
My teachers worry too.
Eat healthy. exercise daily
its the start of a new you
work hard, feel determined
don't let anyone bring you down
sweat more, eat less
you are almost to the top
plan ahead, have fun
8pm and orange setting suns. the soft spring nights resemble what is to come.
The track smells of melted plastic with lines of deep blue, the midwest sun glaring, relentless and with no hue.
We are the poor kids. The outcasts.
From the unknowns of the Country in the Unknown of the Country.
And yet we are known.
We are that thought in the back of your head.
We are the “What If…” of the Race.
Have you ever seen the rain come down?
Those days where the grey is less white than the pain,
Desolated days where the chains hold you at bay, yet the wind ceases to balm
Life has only begun, The past are my lyrics that I've sung. My sickeness held me back, but I'm taking that step forward to get life on track. Unstoppable, strived for greatness and I achieved, nevered fallen because I always believed.
As sons and daughter of the most high God
We have standards to uphold, as we are representing Zion
And as we live in a dark and hateful world
Hidden beneath
my long red socks.
Rarely seen by teammates and fans,
you are always ready to do your job.
Like the bullet-proof vest
of a proud police officer.
You take the shots
hit after hit
Handles like AI
Jumper like MJ
Balling is a habit and it's a new season.
Cross like Crawford
Gas like, kiss the glass like, step back and cash like
pump like jump like
When I run, I am free, my chains are broken.
My shoes are like the13th Amendment; I am no longer a slave to society.
When I run, no one can own me, the road becomes my empowerment.
Strength, Struggle, Satisfaction.

A match too tempting, a flicker unrelenting,
The cottage was downed by a stupid boy;
“And that, me lad”, I said, “was why I slapped the back of your head!”
It is a decade later, why couldn’t he grow any brighter
What is a mistake if we along with everyone around us cannot learn and benefit from it? Too many of my family members, friends, teachers, this generation and ones before me have been effected by numerous heath issues such as:
All of a sudden I feel this pain in my chest
Like someone is stabbing and sitting on me
It is the beginning of yet another hospital stay
The pain just will not go away
I've had surgery and take 16 meds a day
SELF VALUE IS MAIMED
WEEPING WOES WORSEN AS OPTIMISM WITHERS
AND THE INTERNAL ABUSE REMAINS UNTAMED
THE HEART AND MIND SHIVERS.
Seeing you go would kill us too.
I truly don’t know what we would do without you.
Your heart would make you go
But there is something I really want you to know
Exercise is good for you,
Blood, sweat, and tears,
will get you through the deepest blue
and fit throughout the years,
you may not like it at the start
but then you get addicted,
(poems go here) Got love for soccer got love for football got love for anything that catches my eye I may be good but not as good as you so I stay practicing screaming yes I could do it yes i could do it and Im pretty sure i'll be better then you
Tick tock
the last of the clock
i listened for the beat
waiting for the sweet repeat
the beat of the heart retreating
like a con condemn of cheating
banging heavy and misshapen
When I read in the paper a year ere,
I saw in script a mother’s worst fear.
A model child whose temperament was mild,
The child’s face was perpetually clear of tears,
Revered by all, big or small,
I woke up
Unwilling, unmotivated, exhausted
I woke up
I woke up
To the sight of black and a sound so similar
I woke up
I woke up
Not because I want to but have to
I woke up
What can I say about cancer?
I looked to my friends and did not get the answer.
It is scary and such a bad cry
To watch your mom nearly die.
I had to learn to take care of myself
And put my feelings on a shelf.
Gazing anew at the world around her,
Agony, pain, and suffering all were
Colors, images, fading
with time. Mindfully saving
The soul who became so sure.
My little love, she means the world to me
She's so beautiful, thats all I want everyone to see
Six months old, yet she's been through a lot
All I can think of, is all of the battles that shes fought
Apart from the world
is how I feel.
Yet to me, this pain is everything that's real.
I close my eyes to remember a time;
of better days, the days I felt fine.
Anticipation seizing him,
The swimmer stoops to grip his block,
All ready for that single beep
That will begin the clock.
March is Colorectal Awareness Month!
And here you are, at the doctor’s office once again…
So why not be a super trooper
And take steps to save your pooper?!
Turning the wheel of my mechanic carriage,
I pull up close beside the menu of drinks.
With my mind being set I have advantage
to quickly order before the hot sun sets.
Sips of scalding black liquid, I do not desire
have you ever even seen me
have you ever even seen you
do you ever see me
i wonder
why
ive seen babies grow
birds fly
flowers bloom
but ive never seen you
“Sweetheart” you said,
“Please listen my dear”,
My insides were squirming,
A side effect of fear.
Fighter
Put on those gloves and I feel the power surge.
I feel the lightning in my veins.
I hear the thunder in my heart.
I become stronger with every drop of sweat.
I become faster with every breath.
Some call it beautiful.
Others say it's butterfly,
Those who feel it say "love is in the air"
But I say, love is what you give.
The greatest achievement for every man
Is to love God, himself and others.
You sit by my side while I sit comfortably in my chair
I don't have to get up to switch to my favorite show
You've gone missing now and give me a scare
How could I survive without you? I don't know
Thinking clearly.
Breathing freely.
Away from modern.
No voices.
Only the ones in my head.
Pushing myself further.
Who are you?
You change with the seasons
Hiding from the rays of the sun
shivering in the snow
visible- you are not
Yet, I see you
I know you
at least - I think I do
So.
Is that what you think?
You think this is a game? You think if you lose, that you’ll only be short a few sheets of monopoly money?
You’re wrong.
You aren't gambling fake cash!
This is a life you risk!
I am an anxious Gymnast
I wonder if I can pull off this bar routine
I hear the bar squeak as my opponent performs ahead of me
I see the chalk soaring through the air as vaporous powder
My body shakes as i nervously step onto the court
when they announce my name is just one of my favorite parts.
The key moment in my life has now arrived
I'll never give up until the day that i die.
Life is precious as a crystal door
But you vandalize it
And chastise it
Until it hits the floor.
Suicide is permanent-
Life is worth living for
Why loose what is yours
When you can keep it?
Bare arms and toned legs fill my view
My own tremble slightly as I make my way to the edge of the concrete
I try to remind myself that it’s only the beginning
I try to remind myself of my hours of preparation
It's human nature, part of what we are
Hunger: the desire or need for something
but do we stop to see if the world is up to par?
If a moment was taken to look around
to see what we surround
we see hunger
The purple and dark night sky
Transcends into the time that a runner opens her eyes
The cool brisk wind against her skin
Embracing the movement of her body and the wind
The crickets and birds are now awakening,
The Bad.
Disease and Debt
Depression and Self-harm
I’m sorry you have to deal with me.
One more try and you can all be free.
The Good.
Friendship and Hugs
Love and Support
I need you around.
Butter, you simple, fatty, yellow glob,
How many times has Paula Deen used you?
Your flavor goes well on corn-on-the-cob.
Other substances, you they can't outdo.
People who scream and shout,
What the fuck is that shit all about
Today you said I love you, I hate you, I wish you were dead
But at the end of the day you should be lucky to be blessed.
People who scream and shout,
What the fuck is that shit all about
Today you said I love you, I hate you, I wish you were dead
But at the end of the day you should be lucky to be blessed.
Hey comes fast,
But bye come faster,
Over comes last,
But under comes after,
From set up to set hut,
In from the monotone cadence,
From plastic and head buts,
Out roar of excruciating patience,
I looked at the glass half empty. Lemonade tipped on my lips. I looked at the glass half empty. My toes drew colonies in the sand. The glass looked half empty, the sour taste was bland.
Under all that armor
You see a broken-hearted man
Stuck in this mess
He was cryin’
He couldn’t take the stress.
Prayin’ “please take me away
From this misery”
Laying near the
gate broken.
I stretch out
my hand.
The gate
stretches on forever.
Will I ever
be able to reach it.
I try to move
but my body screams out.
With a start
SOME MAY NEVER KNOW
LOVE MAY NEVER SHOW
INTEREST COME AND GO
GUILT IS ALL SHE'LL THROW
HURT MAY CAUSE A SHOW
TILL ONE IS DAMAGED ENOUGH & GOES
Living life with empty passion,
Never finding time to take action.
Truly unmoving thoughts and dreams,
Shirts and trousers bursting at seams.
When you’re sick you don’t feel right.
You want to run away,
But you have to fight.
You don’t feel bright,
And you never know what to say.
When you’re sick you don’t feel right.
I
Am
Invincible
Running, flying, soaring
Nothing can touch me
As the ground rushes under my feet
And the sunset blurs into a pink and golden haze
Running
(poems gI feel my pulse racing through my body.
The rush is almost unbearable.
I use my fast pace to reach my target.
Using all the power I have, I launch the ball.
I watch it fly over the fresh-cut field.
The moon, staring down from above.
The stars, sprinkled across the sky.
Her mental state, weary.
Her physical state, exhausted.
Sleep does not consume her.
Eyes, staring into nothingness.
I picked up my pen today; It felt good to let the stress flow
With every stroke and line finished, I began to breathe easier
Many young teens now smoke, cut or drink but I will write and pray
Oh, the efforts of exercise
It just seems so fruitless sometimes
I run, I bike, I jog
Working hard as I can
Then, after some time
Of staying in line
And keeping my focus on the goal
It happens
I’m Leo
I like to run around town
When the sun goes down
My bed makes sounds
My passion spreads around
My whole life I’ve played the game
Now my talent has come to a halt
I wonder why, maybe my coach is insane
Someone once told me "Life is a playground. At times you fall off of it or sometimes you slide down without any scrapes."
I've been through so much in my life and I don't ever wanna regret it so here's my tribute to the people in it.
There was a time when the birds that chirped, and the trees that swayed in the air would collide
He haunts me.
Like a ghost, my husband haunts me.
The red-tailed hawks that cry out over head
taunt me mercilessly.
That was his favorite bird of prey.
Cardinals that whistle and sing as the day wakes up
There comes a point
In everyone’s lives
To turn the page
And step into the light
To let their future
Take its course
Let it run free
No fear nor force
There comes a point
In everyone’s lives
To turn the page
And step into the light
To let their future
Take its course
Let it run free
No fear nor force
4 Keys One Heart
Our heart is composed of a four chambered valve with blood flowing in and out
In and out
Ideally our heart consists of four secret gardens that can only be unlocked by four different keys
Calm is a heart that is at rest.
Which keeps the body intact.
It is the vital organ to life.
Each one holds a precious life, maybe even two.
And never stops beating.
Sitting still day after day.
Let love go, to let it return;
Let love out, to let it in.
So it is with us:
Let us go, so we may return.
Let us out, so we may enter
Into our own.
Let love go from us;
May it come full circle.
I wake up in the morning wash my face and brush my teeth.
But before that I thank God for blessing me with this day
and pray real hard that things go a way that will make me better in some way.
Don't let it go
Fight the urge to die
Always needing more,
Reaching and fighting for more
Let it burn
Don't let it go
Fight the urge to die
I cut deep within my veins
Treating myself to the quiet pain,
Digging inside to cut the hurt out
And feeling the blood begin to sprout.
Running from fear,
Running from the past.
One moment, a lifetime, is spent here;
The next, he is gone at last.
Running from life.
Running from pain.
Running from strife.
By Pearl
Knowing that I was gonna try and fail many times in my life
I really wasn’t prepared.
I’ve been over weight since head start Pre-K
although I didn’t look at it as a deformity everyone else did.
