it is limitless.   a daunting white that bleeds through my vision like a veil casted over my eyes,  not so much translucent but opaque.   and like the images i catch a glimpse of in this world,
My cart stopped. I loosened my grip on the handle. There before me was the most beautiful blue sweater hanging on the rack. Then it wasn't. Who was this random woman stealing my joy? Waiting.

Close your eyes Feel the air around you, the clothes against you,  The stars above you    Take a breath Feel the oxygen fill your lungs, your heart beat The stars above you   
Always chasing you till you're beat.  Doesn't discriminate, just defeats.  It is always there hoping you hide,  But now is not the time to be shy.  Take the fear and pass it on. 
I struggle to gain and fight to win For the sweet relieving reward Of a new spark of creation Talking and sharing Walking and thinking Reading and feeling Emotions and broken images flow
My generation As of right now We could be called Children. And I suppose That’s what we are Children of a doomed future.
When the rain falls on to the asphalt And petrichor smells erupt, I'll remember the cloudy days spent in my room, My mind full of inspirations and ambition To create a beautiful painting.
'Ju Ju'  uttered from your lips, a name for me so plain to see Love. Three months is not enough time Not enough time to let my love flow through your veins Not enough time to feel these pains 
Who doesn't want a storybook life? Just write it all in and cut out the strife Who said that you can't write your own story Like a Disney hero you can rise to glory No such thing as fate no such thing as a curse
The fig leaves are drenched in golden light Waving at the sky to bid good night To the stars above.   Enigmatic visions fill minds
I love my purple Vans
Official Ball NCAA Championship with its bright yellow color and shredded red seams sighs sullenly from a dusty shelf while tangled earbuds explain
The sun's fire is fading, as night's ocean rises.   Cold. Endless. Dauting.   I am not afraid, for the night does not conceal.   It reveals something more,
She smells of hardwork and motherhood Her scent permeates the room immediatlely after she enters Her eyes are forced open and the bags beneath droop lower than yesterday

my love, that singular beauty, is all mine touched with golden splendor of the gods sweet as honey, rich as cherry wine a lively sprite who frolics in the woods
What’s the point of life? Why continue through the strife? I’ll tell you, I almost died: Fear nearly ate me up inside;
There are times in this life when we feel lost, And times in life when we are feeling down. But we should listen for the melodies That carry us into a place of joy.  
Walking into another dimension A world where I'm not who I should be Not myself but filling in someone else's shoes A place where words jump at me And help me see in a new light
The stars around me, that push me, Are the ones who burn. Who Breathe the flames of tongue and language And laugh to paint skies blue.   Their firy smiles spark And make me run and leap.
Surrounding me are honeysuckles, and a tall orange tree. Skipping to the pool, and the way life used to be. Gentle days in summer haze, felt like everyday no matter what.
Inspiration   a whispery-sounding word for something so big It can come like a Flash - lightning turns the shifting sands of  Thought to glass, clear as crystal Or softly
My inspiration comes from an old book Tattered and worn But filled with the knowledge of life.    My inspiration comes from the people
I find it in a state of half-waking. A slumber in a college dorm with the fairy lights left on, Twinkling like stars in my dreams.  
What inspired me during this Fall Semester of 2019, I learned a lot from the professors, each have their doctornal degrees. But every professor had thieir own style of teaching.
one woman going back to school plus a dream to study numbers one degree to teach the masses is all she needs to lecture classes two people inspired to teach, one is her, one is me.  
Every day, the best day ever Is what she says with that sharp smile Her eyes glow like nothing I’ve seen  In my room, in the car, in the backyard 
Music inspires me. The beat, thouch of the strings,  soothing chords balancing, harmony, I feel free. Filling my lungs with- Song, connecting to my soul. Practicing towards my goal.

A poet and her paper Sitting here beneath the stars And city lights shining Writing what is on her mind. She's the author of The story being told A story unfolding before your eyes You see.
When I sit down and look around, The world around me seems to dance It dazzles and gleams, shinging and profound And when I need inspiration, I take that golden chance.   I sieze the beauty by the hand
You were happy when I climbed on your lap. All soft sounds and soft hands and a cheerful, bubbly voice Nudging my toddling figure away from the patio’s edge.

I miss you. I miss you as much as i miss the first taste of summer wehn winter hits. Or as much as i miss the first frost at the peak of those dog days. Six years have gone by without you here.
Here we are You across from me You’re back is all that I see And she’s holding the trophy   The mistakes I have made are my own
It’s warmth from the fire, Expanding, expanding, and expanding until I struggle to breathe The color of my palpitating heart as it teethes,
My aspirations were like grand constellations Plucking one dream after the next   Then came the Big Bang of adolescence With every burning goal Came a larger person To put it out

It only takes one person to influence another. A teacher is a great example. A teacher's words can guide and inspire. A teacher can come into one's life at the right time. A teacher uses experience to influence.

My mother has always been there No matter the situation she'll care. She's been my role model Since I drank from a bottle And we'll always be a pair.  
I watch the birds fly above me, Feeling left out and alone.  So when you choose to fly around me,  I suddenly feel I belong.   You float by gently capturing my attention, Beautiful as my favorite song,
Only one to shed fear, Only one to grasp hope, A ripple for a smile, A minute to cope, Seconds to forget, Hours to remember, To bury the deepest of depression, To reveal ones true expression,
She is a cycle she doesn't understand. A whirlwind that sweeps you away without asking, a vacuum you never want to be free from. She engulfs you in her light when she's laughing, yet she's blind to her own brilliance.
Mentor was what refered to you First thing on my mind was always you Yet what exactly have you done? You've always risen higher than I had ever hoped You were a beacon of light with no such awareness
The competitive season is over, But the training is not. I think there’s so much value In becoming involved in a sport Where you are involved throughout

I wanna float on Lighter fluid, I want to watch the fire dance around me, I want to be lighter fluid, Cause the mess I'm in is heavy.   Life doesn't slow down, Won't slow down for anyone.

Trouble Is An Object, You Don't Really Want It. Pass It To The Next Man, Maybe He Will Want It.   Maybe He Will Flaunt It, Attracted To Its Danger. Or Draw Back And Cast It, In The Direction Of His Anger.   Trouble Is An Object, That Can Transform

It's time to go with the flow and let your heart know that it's okay to express yourself and let yourself go. Get lost in the love that is the totality of your individuality. 'Individual' which means undivided from the 'whole'. 
The great I know is the one that tells the thieves' liesPeace and happiness you decide your own lifeBut once lives are taken for reasons of the unknown Concepts such as hatred, as to detest our natural skintoneThey say I might die tonight, I might

Love is sharing  Of what you have It maybe be advises It maybe time For a person Who needs it So badly like me People needs love But they don't know how They search for it

I would be lying if I told you I didn't cry that awkward day. The day you decided that I wasn't the one. I've told you before,  and I won't go back on my word.
My personality is Beyond my years or maybe it's the trend set before me Remember when we were kids and everyone was our friend?
A year ago I would have called you a fool. For telling me that there is hope,  For telling me that there is love, A year ago I would have called you a liar.  For telling me that I am smart 
Looking back at the year prior Makes the road ahead seem daunting. Taking apart the person I was, The closest I can describe is passion. A rekindling of a dying and tired flame, thus,

                            If I spoke in lines of poetry, it would be broken  Every line seperate from the rest My words would fall disconnected You would not be able to make sense of it   
changes friendships grow like dandelions through weed killer belonging a feeling never experienced before, now as normal as the sky is blue black skies late nights, struggling to pass the test pain
The future follows behind me with a stern look and a jagged plea As competition constantly stares back at me. In the past year I battled the fists of friend crusades Because of the stabs of pending test grades.  
I love it when you smile. your teeth gleam so white. do you even notice? it  lights up the night? your smile so pure. so straight to the point. i really do love it. so smile my lovely roint.
One step forward Two steps back   Is this ever true   One move closer  Two backtracks   Creates new paths for you   One truth found Two lies learned

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,
Sometimes life is like a winter day  Cold and miserable and sad Icicles hang from the bottom of your heart  The sadness seems infinite But
I lay my head on my pillow to rest.My eyes gaze at the ceiling,and catch the dancing shadowsamongst the darknessthat encapsulates mealways.
Somehow,I manage to get out of bed each and every day.I get up, get ready, and get to work. Surprisingly,People look at me with admiration for this feat."How are you so motivated?" they ask.
A call of affirmation An air of great suppression Awoken by the stream of light Which beckons me to my day's plight A screaming alarm It means no harm But morning is dreary And I am weary
Look at the girl who carries such grace no one can critique. Look at the boy who falls for her, regardless of how bleak or meek she is.  Now look at the child who kicks the bucket, but then at the one who builds a castle with it.

I greet the day with gratitude laced with longing. This hunger animates my entire being, Sharpening my senses, a new way of seeing. The pursuit of Light is my soul's calling.   I am a Light Huntress.
Today is the day, the day to rise. Rise above all that has been lost, all that has been done. I have been told that hope is lost. I believed that all hope was lost in this imperceptible darkness
Dawn has never been my muse Though my spring to her may disagree A slumber sweet and succulent Brings unwanted tendencies   To wake I must for day has come A friend or foe she be

A friendship so beautiful, The world's eyes are forever searching, But fail to find, rendered sightless by greed. The hatred tries to bleed into, incompetent.   A home broken like an ocean floor of glass,
Sometimes when I'm feeling down or blue, all I really need is you. A hug and embrace makes me feel like I have place. Hopeless feelings deep inside, but with you, I'm built back up and restored with pride.

Feet dangle inches above Tantalizingly taunting  They strive to graze the bicycle’s pedals, Just as my hands strive to emerge From the lemon yellow dress You handed down to me.

I see the family on the table their crowns speak royalty as my hand reads numbers that stand without pair. I look around the table
When I feel the icy wind, on the road less traveled.  Dare I look to the stranger in the path? His eyes and hands hard as the ice.  Their voices soft as the snow.  Who is this man, who might make the winter, melt? 
Words flow and ebb and I feel them  more than the others. No pain No color No light Can be heard in my words by them. My voice is oft ignored the letters form a web

I've never been much of a writer. The only talent for it I had was writing a three page essay in two hours. For the longest time, writing was an introduction, three body paragraphs, a conclusion. 
Humidity is a bitch to me. It’s alive. Sitting on cement, slapped fresh by Texas afternoon rain. Microscopic droplets carry home, lingering oils resting on cheeks. Clouds from above float through chambers of my lungs.

Sometimes we hold on to our failures and depressing past, And allow those events to define our untrue, discontent character. Beaten, battered, and treated like an outcast, Left to battle the war as a lone challenger.

Have you asked yourself"What's the meaning of Life?"Happiness, wealth, dealing with strife?  
Look Look at everything around you Do you see it?  See it all From the way the ocean kisses the sand,  To the way the moon follows the sun Isn't it awesome? Look
Feeling alone in a crowd, Knowing that I'm loved.
Looking out of my window adventure is what I seek. Life is outside of this house that encloses me. The birds soar and fly free. Their passionate song inspires me.
I can taste my potential, I can see it expanding all around me, pulsing with life, pulsing with light, like the bioluminescent creatures that scan the ocean floor.  They glow, I glow,

Me, myself anda piece of paperdecided to take onthe world.And so I wrote upon itsent it forthlet it fly freeout my window.I heard talk of it a year later
I refuse to accept "I can't." Those two words are the same as "I won't." and "I quit." There are no quitters. There is only "I can." and "I will." "I quit." is a joke.
I could, but do not, break I could bend under the pressure I could give up and sit down, exhausted
Some days, I am ashen- I drag my way around, And I will not look you in the eye. I have no energy to do the smallest things, And I will slump into the wall when someone gets near.
Stones under my feet It had always looked so big I hold my own hand
I'm just any old person, My idea will never be as good as the idea of that guy. You don't seem to realize what you're doing, When you reject your idea and stay in limbo by eating that pie.
Self demarcation Is self deprivation After all it takes a dream To build up a nation Hesitation and contemplation It’s great to analyze but why are you waiting
If poverty dwells your wallet
Loving your body at times where you need it most. Cherish those moments.
Writing hides deep in the mind locked in rooms waiting to be discovered, in someone else's life, tugging on your heart strings, it hides within one's heart, mind and soul poured onto the paper
There are many things you can tell,  i don;t mind you snitching. You can tell the fact that i've been hooked on drugs, on that i could write a book. You can tell i've been in love and all it took was

Your eyes brighten my heart, your smile takes my inner child and caresses me, soothes me, if my eyes rolled back and I melted into the very essence of your soul, I could not be happier to be inside such a wonderful image of beauty, happiness and

Possibility-Stella D’Vine Consider the possibility of happiness. To move forward. To allow yourself to be wrapped in the warm blanket of positivity. To not allow yourself to sink in defeat.
Cursed lips that say my name That first kiss I'd hate to claim Evil disguised as a beautiful girl My heart was blinded from another world To say my name you have to know it first

I am thankful for this life.
My parched mind searches far and wide,
Behind the lights and cameras, Behind the edits and makeup,  I am unique. Hidden behind the photoshop Is a girl who just wants to be heard.  Who wants to be noticed,  To be cared for,
Ordinary. Is what we are without all the excess Is what the world looks like day to day
Knowing every twist and turn, rise and fall,
She told me "you will not be much of anything, People just look right through your frail bones You will never make much of a difference because You will end up very cold naked afraid alone
Always told to laugh Never told to cry
I feel I should claim a disclaimer   because I really don't know what I'm doing  I think I should make it clear  that I am not   really  very much  at all  a poet.  These are just words 
Where does your alliance lie?Will you pledge alliegance or will you defy as I?The rebellion, hellion, deviant manical child,not willing to be spied on riding a spider wild,
I am a girl, that's how I was born. I am an athlete, a girl ATHLETE that is me. I work hard everyday training and studying starting in the morn.
People were scared People we frightened Breathing became hard for my loved ones Six hours turned into eight And eight turned into thirteen
Your determination and commitment is your life, How far are you willing to go, willing to fight? Commit to your husband or wife, stand by their side for life, Commit to school and follow the rules,
I am the daughter of a mother who has an uncurable diease no life long numbing agent that could soothe and heal it. It left a faded scar as a badge of honor.... It's. No. Breeze.

Tiny, untouchable light,
i have a friend who flew with the times and plummeted to the ground as his pocketful of rhymes sunk and spat and became one with the earth-- the ground upon which we dream still engraved with his words

Premature. Fight on. Mom died. Fight, fight on. Cancer consumes sister. Fight on, Fight on. Solace through my music.  Play on. Fight on. Play. Sister emerges victorious.
I ask you to listen to me You hear my words but you only hear, not listen You have not done what I've asked I ask you to care for me You care about me but only to an extent You have not done what I've asked
Every day is a gift,  all the days just flow so swift try to live positive & for others try to uplift... <3 You are here for a reason bigger than you I know some time you wonder what am I here to do? Is it some thing huge &  grand, here...
Art, music, a bizarre half-baked guess The most random thoughts I think – The strangest “what ifs” jumbled in a mess.   They tend to come in a blink. If the thought inspires me,
The inspiration escapes me today. Between me fathoming my thoughts, And what I could dream of, And what I could think of, The effort escapes me. And I do not feel the purpose.
You took an innocent girl and flipped her whole world around.
What I'm about to say is from what I've learned No matter your agreement or concern Poetry can be written by anyone No matter by paper or touge Your reason or cause
What's nice about me? What do I see?  Hell, wouldn't I like to know.    The words beauty, flawless, and pretty those aren't words that come to mind
I'm lazy. I'm 19 years old and I have been blessed with the ability to dance, sing, write, but I'm lazy. I noticed I only come alive when performing or at parties and it's starting to bother me.
GoPro cameras and Selfie Sticks, our ancestors would be horrified. But it doesn’t matter because fabricated images, and fraudulent stories are glorified. What’s wrong with putting your best self out there?
Stupid, Ugly, Scared, That is all I saw Looking at the sasquatch Staring back from the wall. Why am I not intelligent? Why am I not beautiful?
I am like a notebook with blank pages of uncertainty and past mistakes never completely erased. The spiraled edge will break with too much inside,  yet I can't add more space.
When people look at me, they don't see me. There's a girl who's put together on the outside, With makeup and hair done to a tee. But deep beneath the surface,  I'm insecure, I'm broken,
Who am I without a filter? For the past four yeasrs, I haven't had an answer to that question  I've spent so long trying to become littler  I've tried to disappear which is something I probably should mention
Being flawless isn't always easy. To achieve true beauty, you must believe that you can do whatever you set your mind to. I never let myself see the downside of my dream. You work hard, you smile at every
You make me want to live You make me want to give It's alright If not only for tonight   You make me want to sing Like no one is listening You make me want to smile
I didn't grow up in a home, I grew up in houses, 13 schools and a murder attempt and "Run as fast as you can, find the neighbor, and stay there till I call the police!" My mom's ex-boyfriend,
So there's this girl right? And she always earns good grades, so they put her down out of spite She's been on the high honor roll for as long as she can remember
Drums of the Serengeti Red dirt Dark faces and bodies. They call Americans copies. Full of History They always seem so pissed to me. Diamonds are born.
I am flawless   With just a smile, I'll make your day
Praying to my god Testimony say im saved, police got me under heat, youngins screaming what you claim, you know the street, its anger pumping through my viens,
I just want to be an inspration To those with a dedication To become better then what they were yesterday only to realize that your most important days are the day you are born and the day you find out why
My emotion is bleeding staining everything in my possesion
Listen to me, oh Muse, and help me tell the story Of the young man with great determination. The one who worked for years on a single goal To turn his belt the darkest of all colors.
Born from Tragedy, A weak Seed planted in the Garden of Grief,
Born in the Flame of the controversial state. They try to burn my fate with bias hate.
Your upraised so high, and I am so low I upraise you so high, each and every day Each night I lower you down, like a show We complete this task, even in the gray
Ayn Rand once said: "The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me"   Remember that. Don't let somebody stop you. They aren't you.  
They left you a piece of coal Take revenge by becoming a diamond And no diamond can be made without pressure. After the pressure of your past and problems you overcame
I am like a man, flawed and broken, left on the hot sand to fry and crisp like a token. The shell created by social brutality falls away to reveal the shining soul climbing through harsh reality,
I have strong eyes and a weak heart I'm going to break all your laws I have an iron fist and deadly bite   I'm going to break all your laws I have long legs and a short temper
I wake up and I know me
I see a glass half empty, empty? isnt that bad?
My God is a protector, 
We are advertised ideal appearances Activate dejectment to our natural being Exposed to others belief's and thoughts It keeps us blind of what we are seeing
Sometimes I wonder about our generation How will we fit in with the larger population? We go through our  days hoping to be distracted And we dont stop and think about the way we acted
Sometimes I wonder about our generation How will we fit in with the larger population? We go through our  days hoping to be distracted And we dont stop and think about the way we acted
Passion is heart and gumption and drive, Being enthralled with the idea that one day you'll thrive. It's the late nights of coffee and failure and stress,
No matter who you are, no matter where you’re from, you were born to live. You were born to feel and taste and touch, to use every single one of your senses. You were born to make friends, and to lose them.
Different people wonder where I come from. I don’t look different or nor do I try But when I walk, They see a confident-stride. I say, It’s in my happiness The acceptance of people,
My past is full of hatred and disgust
I want to be pregnant by the ambrosial breath of life, and flit between the consuming fires of my insecurities unscathed. To rejoice in the veracious appetite for pleasure and pain
Time is moving fast I wish I can slow it down But Some people I be messing with they never come around It's like I'm the only one that's down You can ask my town
Me and You We going to rendezvous Because I love you boo And
               A shadow in the crowd,           Tears rolling from eyes and cries so loud,                Unknown and unheard all his life,             Dying in pain with the memories of his wife.
First, I'm going to "Look At Myself"
When minds constrict  And inspirations lost, The canvas blank And hands seem idle, Though thoughts seem gone  Do not secede the struggle.
I am flawless, though not everyone knows I am flawless, doesn't it already show? the media may try to convince otherwise
There I was another day spent counting miles subtracting calories calculating deficits.   Run, run to look good, run to look pretty, run so boys will like you.  
I am alone, and the journey’s long, can’t figure out what’s right, what’s wrong. Messed-up, cluttered my thoughts, they race across my mind. The road is rough, the path  not tread,
Who is that little girl that acts like an adult, but still just a child? 
My heart raced My stomach churned My body ached And an overflow of hapiness devoured me.
    How could they do this to us , knowing we were against it Knowing the pain, the scars,the memories we now have to keep  forever
Do you see me?Do you see the jaded light in fancy
Today, I woke up and I saw myself. Not the person I usually see Not the girl that has to be dressed up with hair freshly done to be beautiful. I saw myself.
The mountains loom above the little town. The sun sets and they cast their shadows down. The climber, still suspended from the rocks, Clips in, makes sure the carabiner locks,  
The gift of God is still thereAlthough you're gone we still careYour freedom of speech was so strongI can still hear your voice eventhough you're gone
We like rose for its adore, We like gem for its sheen, Virtue of these draw us all, Drag us all to love and link... A lesson for us to live like them, 
She doesn’t need to worry about the size of her body,The length of her hair,The color of her eyes.To know she’s perfect.

Consciousness is the art of being aware of one's existence.
On this world of 7 billion Me? I'm 1 in a trillion Unlike some of you out there, I voice my opinion and do not care If you think I'm right or wrong That's the secret to staying strong.

my sweet love
If  I cry or if I'm down My resillence picks me back up My legs may be strong but my mindset is stronger My confidence is not found in a cup When I feel weak I say, "I'm strong" and that just does the trick
I like to think that I'm bold, that I'm comfortable with who I am. That I'm the same person on the inside  as the one that the world beholds.   That's not what I'm told  
Chin up Eyes open This is you You are here You are real   The darkness has finally faded No one can bring you down No one can hurt you.   
Dear Motivation,   
The glow and look in your eye. A shock of excitement from your smile. Spread of warmth from those delicate hands  Maybe even a stride in your walk
You stay up late with your coffee filled veins,As I scribble down your name.And baby, I dream with my eyes open,I can't ever be the same.
In my heart Giving to others is the only way.   Ending the pain, loss, darkness in this world.   A smile, a kindness, this is my vow.  
Your flaws make you perfect. It forms the individualty thats blooms inside of you.
  For those who despair about their body, For those who feel the inadequacy of an intelligent mind, For those who hold close to what they love,  
I wanna make things move 
I'm always thinking and I'm dreaming I'm always creating and my eyes are gleaming  With the thoughts of what can be and what will My optimism is why I cannot keep still and some people wonder where it comes from
Going to the early morning workouts, Finshing with sore's grip on my muscles. With my body begging to tap out, I tell myself to keep up the hustle. Consuming foods that grow from the Earth,
Inspiration is the key, to get past the heavy door
What do I look like in a room of others thinking, thinking out of this world? No one even notices me, I past by and I get a glance if I'm lucky I feel gold though,
To all wounds of the heart, Time is the antidote. Designed like a coat Soothing the pain as it impart   It is nonpareil It understands what you want As time acts more than a confidant
Lend me your ears, you film noir beauty, with your overcast eyes
Imagine this You're in a room with no doors, windows, or anyway of escape. The room is filling with smoke and its becoming harder and harder to see and breathe.
My sore feet walk over the cobblestone and all I can see my dream ahead as I take one step at a time. London's bridge came falling down. While others drowned, over the edge I climbed.
I am a bird.My voice holds the powerto sing you to sleep—to lull you into a dreamlike state of mind.
Bottled Prayers 
her life isnt as perfect as it seems its filled with false hopes and fucked up dreams and when she searched the world she failed to find her  one  and only  piece of mind
At this very moment, my name is Tranquil.
I hear a knock- Subtle at first, then louder. A soft whispering: "Come see the world!"   Should I open the door Or hide in the dark? My fate lies open Like a country road.

There were lies and pain misguded thoughts  that floated down the empty alleyway There was hate and emptiness then the sudden breaking of a heart  never to be mended  There was hope 
Senior year is finally here, Bittersweet yet fun, With football games and homecoming, It's only just begun. My friends, they stick beside me,  as they have year after year,
"Poems should rhyme,  all of the time" Isn't that just the cheesiest line? Dr. Seuss, boy he was great,  and I don't think even I  could debate That a rhyme made his poems even more special 
Lure them in with your evanescent gleam. Bind them into your eternal paradise. Throw their hypnotic nothings to the wind. Craft velvet wings from jewels.  Your primrose shimmer must never dull.
The room is too warm My palms are sweatty He paces, glancing at the pages. Time is running out I read fast but nothing sticks in my mind. I can't remember the answeres. He glances my way and i flinch.
And I'm still thinking why. . . Why did god chose me for this struggle on my journey Who am I, why does my appearance gives the right to judge me.
They ask what keeps me propelling,                  smiling           after obstacles and complications attack They ask what keeps me singing,                 dancing
Up, upward, I'm looking up, birds are chirping too, reminds me of things I want to do. Fly, flying high above away from cares I soar, my dreams my aspirations come tumbleing down like sheets of paper.
I love it. The endless conversation The pointless laughter The sun shining On my beet red cheeks, I love it. The tears of joy The moments of pure bliss The days I wasn’t able to sleep,
It seems so easy to say that you are happy To smile and be filled with glee But me, I wonder how we can make it last forever. That is a mystery. My mind it thinks the keys to life 
There are too many things in this world that uplift me. So many things that make me happy. If I had to truly choose one. I would think to myself it simply can't be done.
There is a fire which burns in all men, oft banked by worldly care   It needs but one breath to waken its heat, a wind of holy air   On pagan altar once it burned, its all-consuming heat  
Through all the wind, and all the tremor, I swear times do indeed get better.   Through all the failures, tears, and scars, I swear you'll reach the golden stars.  
Aspiring within, a risen power ready to tip over, the ability to inspire. Agile but, fragile After every trial

  Oh, the battles one fights in this life I was given
I am in a room alone Full of friends here to help me  As they move place to place, I remain succombed to any new help or  change Because the small white ovals are already working to
Determination. Self Will. How they coincide. Hand in hand like how I am when I am with you. The force that your aura brings when it meets mine. But from where does it stem?
if there ever is a day when im gone  when the wind sweeps me away with the pale dust and dingy acidic rain if there ever comes a day when my mouth is sewn shut for good and
That feeling - it's almost indescribable.  T-minus 2 hours, I'm getting ready. The room is clouded with the smell of hairspray and makeup.
Walking down an ordinary street in my ordinary shoes, With nothing much to do in this ordinary town Filled with ladies and booze.  
Zeal for Success  
Dear God, I don’t want to be bother, But I was wondering if we could talk again, You know, daughter to Father
  You sure that man in the mirror is really me Cause it aint the man I used to see I've been pushin' that line for a long time Deciding not to see, choosing to be blind  
I am an artist.Some people would say that 'artist'is synonymous with 'creator'--I am not a creatOR,I create AND keep on creating.
Shes beautiful and strong . She gave us life and is wise when to take it. She loves you even if you attack her. She gives to us, even when we steal from her. She tries to warn us but we won't listen.
A cold breeze.  A silent hum in the air.  A breath slowly fills my lungs.  Happiness fills my soul.  Long hours in a quiet room.  I finally escape the chaos that life has created.  The leaves fall on the ground and I let it all go.
  Survive the storm, thunder, and rain, dig deep inside to locate the pain. Follow its stem down to the roots, unveil the confusion and discover the fruits.  
Music uplifts the strings on my guitar,Hockey uplifts the puck on my stick,Education uplifts the knowledge in my head,Preparedness uplifts the opportunities in my life,Work uplifts the money in my pocket,
  Life employs a different meaning to each individual Is this awakened state of being existence? Or rather the opposite… Are we really living in an illusion, fooled by the conscious mind?
My body awakens with a refreshing shrug, I plant my feet onto the cushioned rug,
Becoming the greatest Is not rising above all others Or achieving perfection. It is constantly striving for excellence:
I choose to live my life for this very moment for this moment may not come tomorrow.
"Entrepreneurship"  7.8.14  3:30pm    It's good to eat with whom you starved  But, starvation yields corpses And I don't really like graveyards

Walking werewithal into a forest Hearing the calls of birds and gurgling streams Without a care in the world, Or so it seems   Sun on my face as the trees rise before me
The whispers chirped all through the air, The trotting deer, the hopping hare. They moved with swiftness that was so divine, But then nature settled into one dismal line.
Senior year is finally here! Wow, time just flew right by. I have decided that this year I am gonna branch out and talk to new people. I still am loyal to my other friends of course!
You found me, Hanging there, The note that I left, is in your hands, And as you read, You start to remember all the signs, And you start to realize that, I could have been saved,
Spring lovely flower bloom scent of sweet perfume love and light and life
To a poem, seldom wrote The words are stuck So often choke And when the pen Again find page The hand is halt and still   To a poem, often quote The words can run amuck
I met him in my dreamsI could hear him in my headI'm not sure what it all meansBut im holding on by a thread I write and think of you
This is a poem about how I accepted band,
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,Too I know why
I could say,   "Mama, Mama, Mama, come help me"   but you are so busy living out a Colorado fantasy
      Do you breathe in whistles, sir? Because every time I walk by that is all I hear.
  The cold pillow is engulfed around your face, full of tears, full of dreams and memories shattered.
So I lie here thinking, not doing, just thinking
Fly
I can fly
  If one walks with me through a garden of prose Lonely am I still, If my heart is gone than my words are vacant, And my lines are cold and frail. Not drink nor drug nor pain can drown
They see a pretty face Divine beauty insurmountable to replace I see her angel kiss freckles Untainted worth no amount of empty shekels. The strongest flower my naked eyes have seen
Introducing: the storm that brews in her mind... It's force and undying winds become too much to bear Left her drained, dry, just an empty shell A foggy reflection, an expressionless stare  
Music is the way I start off my day Music compels me to achieve more Music helps my day from becoming grey
I just don't fucking give a shit anymore.
Ripped but not running
Your words are like a knife a dagger a double edged sword cutting through Each time the wound gets deeper and deeper So bad you can't take it anymore and wanna give up, don't.
I dedicate this to you To all those who have suffered endlessly hopeless Fighting to live another day just like today too Rock paper scissors, oops you're out Get out, out of my life I don't need you.
It’s almost like a dream With the earth beneath us And the colors above   The greens and the blues form an ocean Blending together to create waves That seems to go on forever  
My astronomic family and I get around
I dream of flying High in the sky Spreading my wings And starting to glide   I will be like a bird Flapping my wings Migrating to wherever I feel I will be free  
Life is gift from God But you have to earn that gift You can’t just expect things to happen Or else they never will   Life is about persistence Hard work and dedication pays off
They all want my autograph but they don't know how I write it   The things I read behind closed doors made me who I am- but how can I be what I have read if I cannot speak out loud?  
The Antithetic Leaf   Come on...blow me away; Get me off of this tree;
Why the fuck do we need money to help people with injuries or illnesses? Why can't all of the countries around the world make an agrrement to make health care free?
Pushed, beaten, stung, No one gave a damn. Shaven off with love unstrung and poison eats us, man.   Who's to say I didn't try Yeah you best believe. and Those nights I cried
I lived a lifeless life, I mean growing up fatherless, my daddy was super stressed, call
I want to...fly past pain's sky always taunting me, she teases me She told me I'd never get away The way I dread-locks pain inside me She shacked up with her man, Misery They play sad tunes on strings
To myself, I am a poet. To others, I hav a gift. I'd grow with my mind. My ideas would shift. From castles and princesses when I was young, to boyfriends and heartache that brutally stung; I was a writer.
Nothing was the same & heart's the one to blame. This tattoo that said "Dream Boo" on my heart, Will only tear me apart. Every little thing was perfect to begin. Should I let through my depression ?
It bleeds through me - A whirling current of color, Flowing from my heart
Calm as a summer's meadow. Warm and full of light. Bright as a yellow sun. One by one the flowers remind me of how beautiful you are. Stars and rainbows don't compare. Beauty everywhere.
Dreams guid us... 
What is color? , Can it be warm? , Can it be taste full, is it suppose to make you feel happy or maybe sad?.. Can you  use it to decorate or bring life to something?......maybe use it for art?... what is color?.......................

I'm running out of things to numb the pain, I have nothing anymore and it's driving me insane. People say life is too short to be alone, But nobody wants me, didn't you know?
Keep this one dear to your heart Cause this ain't a car that you gotta pushstart Now in the beginning God made man No doubt in my my mind that God had a plan A couple seconds later out came Eve
It's five a.m. I get all dressed up. I put my make-up and my heels on. I stare in the mirror and who I see, she's not really me. This girl in the mirror is beautiful and intelligent. She's vivacious and confident, all while being so strong.
Growing up is scary, at least a little in all of our eyes
What makes me, me? Is it the way I comb my hair, my brains and beauty, or the shoes i wear on my feet? What makes me any different from you? Is it because i'm so kind
I've loved. I've loved and lost. But it's better to love then lost, rather than not loving at all. Better to fall, and call for help rather than not try. 
This woman told me that she would rather date a blind guy than to date me Then I asked what does that mean And she told me Because he would be blind which means he can't see and I would know that he loves me
Speaking up for that person who has no voice or afraid to voice there thoughts. Uplifting a down and troubled spirit facing hardships. Also bringing strength to a hopeless joe who is use to dragging their feet with the floor.

You cannot simply tell me to get over someone I love.  It's not something that can be stopped all at once. That's like telling the earth to stop revolving the sun
 HOW DO I FUNCTION WITHOUT YOU  EVERY MOMENT A CONSTANT MEMORY  OF WHAT USE TO BE LEFT ALONE WITH JUST MY SORROWS ALWAYS PRAYING THAT YOU'LL COME BACK TOMORROW JUST TELL ME WHY I NEVER CROSS YOUR MIND
I feel the sparks of potential Igniting in my veins It lights a fire beneath my fingers And the words come in waves Would could
"Somewhere between free will and determinism I found myself stagnate, in a metaphysical gridlock not knowing what direction to step in.
Ongoing War
So bright, the rising of the morning sun. I wake and see the beauty through new eyes, And glad to find another day begun. I think of ways to live before it dies.   Remember all the world has yet to give:
I’m a waitress, And I love my job— It gives me satisfaction.                I love knowing that I am helping someone relax after a long, hard day.                I love being helpful and making people smile.
Look at me and tell me what you see. A young black educated male is what I hope you perceive me to be.  I have God beside me, my parents behind me and my family around me and I’m going to strive to be all that I can be.
Ain't it funny how life is always filled with pain Take amounts that the body really can't sustain   You're so depressed, you question your own state of mind 
Night after night my dreams felt so bright because she made me shine with all my light.
The illushen of the world around me is falling appart, and now i see how cruel this world can really be. How it tests you and takes away all purity, nothing is really as it seems. I'm not a strong as i apear,
I have seen the other side, More than eight thousand miles away. I have seen the other side, And it's like nothing you've ever met before.   The streets are lined with ramshackle stores,
Many shaped who I am. Many more shaped those who shaped me. I hope with my words many will be shaped by me. A spark in darkness created a universe that we all know.
  Hello, hello, is there anyone here. Please hear my cries if there’s anyone there. Oh dear God, what have I done?
You snatched the ladder from under my feet UNpurposely. And didn't bother to stay and cover my exposed wounds.
I have a thought on my mind and a hunger in my core, I need to fill up my heart before it’s over.   I need to see the pressure rise just as I escape demise--
I was never that girlI'll never be that girlI broke heartsnot the other way aroundI slid in and out of these poor boys lives like the devil in disguise
Bursting
I've heard that some are bound  By causes, boldly stated, They roar their motivations  To a world they think will listen. I know people who think love Is all that there can be,
Ode to the block of writers, The jam of your mental station, the cackling of the static, disappointing in its absence Nothing much comes to the surface, though you are feeling as much as always
Everyone has a different form of expression everyone is their own piece of art. walking, living, breathing art But what perplexes me so is that they never get to see themselves through someone else's eyes.
Grasp firmly unto who you are and never let go, Life is filled with bumpy roads. People will lift you up and slam you down. Friends will pretend in the light and scheme on the low.
Some say you must hate to lose, more than you love to win.
Imagine, during the first few months of when you first understood what words, languange, and feelings were you were called ugly. Imagine how for the next years of your life you were reminded of how ugly you were.
Here's what keeps this soul goingHere's what makes
A love for you is beyond compare Those words I wished to share Moments are memories That keep a heart beating Take a deep breath I keep bleeding love Love for miss Marie
Do you ever think about one situation & how one little detail could've changed everything?
   Your voice alerts me, I finally found you, I can see. Searching the noises thats in my ear, Listen real close its you, I can hear. I love those big brown eyes, I'll never  have to say my goodbyes.
Inspiration What is inspiration but a fanny pack full of hammy down quotes from people no different than you or I.  Or is it indifference that allows one to be different.  "Haters gnna hate!" 
Standing before you, An endangered soul. Mold with gold and once embodying the whole given. And now My Frail and lanky stature, stands before you  piercing every eye.
Oh no
Time, it marks us,  changes us,  shapes us,  moves us,  and it leaves us.    Memories,  a time we remember,  a time we once loved,  a time we once hated, 
Stop struggling child, you are almost there,
I am a weak, depressed, lost, little girl who is not capable of anything. and I refuse to fly free and believe in the fact that one day I will become of worth and somebody you will remember.  
Wait for him? More like, waste away for him. Spend your days on him, just…   waiting for what? The moment when his nonexistent conscious will speak up And remind him…  
  I am searching for an inspiration Something to allow me to get into action
this is to all the war childs, born into villages painted with blood and fire, in dire need of hope and salvation, once a mighty people, now scared of laserations, *click*

I woke up with the thought of you, When it asked me when you'll return, I smiled and said but were through, It said well tell him to make a u-turn, I told you he doesn't want anything to do with you,
A part of me has whithered into nothing With time passing on by I've developed a different character. Taking onto a new journey to another level
How could he just break my heart and not give me a reason. Could it be the month? or maybe the season? How could he make me feel like I’m trash?
I tried to find myself inside you.
The truth of the matter is I am a black girl that can still rise Not phased by oppression or depression I am indeed alive My ancestor was a poet, a writer, and a friend That means nothing in my life is limited
Head, shoulders, knees, and toes, Ankle biting and cold air, nothing to stop me, but so many things to keep me away.   How does one make words into sentences again? The world has forgotten,
What your problem ? Whats the reason you dislike me ? Oh, I get it , you wanna be just like me. Is it my style, my clothes , the way that i dress? The pizazz , the Swag , the way i look to fresh? No ?
Long ago, the fire was dwindling With a roar, it kindled and manifested might That devastating roar was realization; I wasn’t truly alive   This is the element of my sign:
I am a work of art, I am a masterpiece, My curves are my definition, that is what defines me.   The shape of my nose,
Hear em' shots from da Trumps n' Saxes?How bout' the drops of the Basses' beats?
Every time I find myself searching for inspiration or feeling like my ideas are not suffice I look around me, I look at all the things that have been invented throughout the years and begin
I write because This Puerto Rican on Def Poetry Jam Told me about the county of Kings.
As I drift off to sleep, my mind enters into a door of dreams, a door filled with adventures for me. Suddenly, I find myself in the sky in marvelous flight Seeing the world from up so high.  
I'm the man in the sky  I watch you with my hazy eyes Take my hand I'll set you free Step into my reality   Here there ain't a ceilin' with walls
Cognitively Not where I should be Feelin' crazy Not lookin' like me   Mental pictures  Leavin' me unsure Disturbing thoughts Have gotten me caught
A free me breathes in the air As I spread my wings As I sing and as I scream For joy No less I put my wings To the test And fly. And soar. And go through The open door
Tumblr asked me where my Eden is, Referring to Eden as a place or state of great happiness, And all my thoughts immediately went to you. You, with your perfect, almost nappy hair,
Coming in brisk shadows Living in the dark corners of my mind Bringing light into my world As you take me away   Pushing the sails with your gentle hands While thrusting the tides with your warm air
When it comes to inspiration I'm moved by the things that can move my inner being. Like music inspires me and well dancing inspires me too. I'm also a bit of a nerd so I'm inspired with everything nerds do.

"I've Learned" by Nicholas Jones.In my 18 years of life,I've yearned for happiness,And I've yearned for strife,I've learned of death,And I've learned of life,
In the overshadowing darkness where despair takes life and hope is nothing but a word. Where faith has no meaning and trust has fallen to sorrow. In the consuming darkness
I thought it took a lot to be a writer. Extensive literary courses to use exactly the right word
Scattered feathers and wings Litter the ground in small piles of forlorn flight Discarded plumage thrown down Melting into the grass Shifting into mud Becoming one with the ground it once defied
The sick, twisted thoughts of a sweet, innocent girl... Yeah, that's me,  thinking of how depression is eating my soul, Biting on my personality and gnawing on my broken heart,
It is the glue that holds dreams together,
Listening to every depressing song on the radio Praying for stregth to recover from you being gone My memory is so clear Life is supposed to be longer In an instant I watched you disapear
Through sufferance let your body yearn for commitment to abolish any obstacles that may have bolted your doors to succ
Deletion.  Every single one gone.  The memories are fading away.  No way of looking back into the past. No young faces nothing but a faded thought.  Deleted forever, what once was is now gone.
My sanity hangs in the balance as I write. I fill the page with a world born of darkness and light. Of a universe centered at the very tips of my fingers. It flows from my mind in smooth streams of conciousness
Mom and dad  I like boys  and sometimes I like girls  Mom and dad I don't believe in a god I believe in many gods Mom and dad  I want to go to college  I want to get away from here 
We all yearn for happiness
  I am black and beautiful 
I find that as a writer I'm not very good At using colorful language Or creating vivid imagery In a person's mind With only words. I'm really good at black and white Cut and dry and to the point
Backseat dreaming, Hands curled lazily into my lap, Sunglasses resting on my nose, Headphones on at half blast, as PR News blares so loud I’m sure the car next to us can hear it. There’s no foot room.
I wont stop trying to walk on water, Even if i cannot swim. Not because of fear i won't Lose all my dreams and hopes
"I've learned that people will forget what you've said, people will forget what you've did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Wise words from a wiser woman, the activist in her inspired a poet.
He was gone before I could meet him Still, I knew him The pictures hung on the wall Lonely.   The scenic views he saw His passion apparent in every stroke Charcol smeared and painted

Like a puppet with ripped strings I hang limp from a tree that is rooted in bad seeds. I have no direction and no recollection of anything but the present. Everything else is blocked out and I always want to shout.
When you walk upon this Earth...every seed, grain of dirt, leaf, flower, weed, patch of grass, dot of sand, piece of ice, snow, rock, mud; all that you step upon is now part of your trace.
Happy What Is It? They say Its money They say Its not money What is Happy? They say Its family They say its marriage What is Happy? Is it light? Is it dark?
  O goddess fair, enthroned and seated high Above my weary head and earth-bound soul
Waiting for a gentle push In a direction I do not know Surrounding everything But nothing 
I dont ask that you walk in my shoes, or feel my pain, or overcome these issues. My fight is my own. Im built to survive. I live to succeed, and I write to thrive.  
My mind rose, my heart pose,

  I can't explain the things that I'm feeling right now   My mind, my body, my soul are being bombarded with poisenous thoughts   I'm being ripped apart into a million little pieces  
like the flower, so blooms inspiration. roses only grow from fertile clay... thoughts, from a fecund imagination.   insights spring from fruitful contemplation while new buds grow with the sun's warm rays.
Let me describe them to you They are sticky sweet like mango juice And tangy tart like my favorite pineapple They drip sugary goodness all over my lips and fingers Like when you bite into a summertime watermelon
-There I was.
I’ve known you for a while now You and I are close friends  We’re best friends I’ve noticed how you have changed from a sad little girl into a mature young woman People made fun of you They hurt you
With your mind be let you dreams be inspired. Just know that perseverance is required. Cause one spark can start a forest fire.
Shh. They can't hear you. Shh. You can't talk about that. Shh. What will everyone think? Shh. No! Ring the alarm, bang the pots, scream out loud!
It's always a good time for a drink.       Drank            Drunk Easy girls and wasted guys make it all the much easier to point a finger blaming a solo cup of bubbles and warm beer.
the love between us
I’m sorry fatherSometimes I forget to pray
We all have problems So who are you to come at me Did you ever think that there could be a possibility that i understand In spite of what you have come to "know" We are the same, having a bad day
No one sees, no one speaks, no one listens to the mind of the weak. not here, not there, nor anywhere can this heart bear this pain. I cant breathe. I cant get past. This emotion, this judgment
Inspiration, that imperial feeling toward yourself, to express yourself, while addressing yourself with the things you do to the people who see only to judge, judge, judge you for your rights or w
You do not have to shimmer to be gold Look at Frida Kahlo, in all of her glory People look at her, unibrow and all And she is well known and liked She didn't pluck, wax, or tweeze
The question that repeats in most minds that asscioate with me, tends to get rather tiring. "WHY  DO YOU LIKE TO WRITE SO MUCH?" " I like to write because it helps me." *que questionble face and they walk away and talk about me and ask others if I
I have a fear A fear of falling Heart is calling Wanting you Body is trembling Hands are shaking Eyes are longing Mouth is wispering no Dying inside Of you not knowing You
Chicago a city full Of industrial mountains and people with Hope.   Wind, storms, and Fires touch the city. But the Passion, Support, and Hope Never Dies.  
Is it mine to keep? I wonder and weep. Should I change my ways? I do not wish to disobey. Shackled is my heart in this decision, For the future is a blurry vision. The path I seek, is it labeled for me, Does good conquer all deeds?
At times I feel its best to let everything be decided by fate. Sitting in the sidelines whatching what'll happen next peering at the world as I procastinate  
I am more than just/ a face in the crowd/ I have a voice / and I want to be heard / Beyond the reaches of Northern New Jersey / the world in which I live / I want all to know / that I am not just an average Joe / I am Joseph Conciatori / a poet,
When I look at myself in the mirror and think that I could destroy the world and graffiti the sky              all in a single day I leave my makeup drawer untouched and wear bright red converse
I am better at writingthan making a verbal speechso don't expect me to preach

  A writer in math class Words on my paper, don’t know what they say.
I was born without the invitation of saying hello, yet you might say I was blind from rejection. I guess it was too hard to live a life of deception.
Drowned by outgrown adulthood, haikus wither to dull-inked veins that curl and  snap under pressure of another member laid to rest.    Like bones, syllables line the ground, curling bending as 
I am forever trapped in the storm of iniquity Lightning flashes Tunder ulvulates Wind wraps around my body like a whip Rain splashes agaist my face My heart pulsate with every lasting second
If minutes passed like hours, you'd never have gone away. 
He said yo midget but I kept on walking little did he know I went home and cried myself to sleep
Ill are your rhymes? I don't have the time To listen to this nonsense. Got any cents? Cause I need to make some change. Perhaps my brain, rearrange
It doesn't make sense, how someone so young, Would hate themselves so much And feel so unloved. We pay respect to the dead, But why not to the living? Why do we only care,
All I wanna do is play, But I'm watching the days pass away, And although you don't give me toys to chew, Master I will always love you,   You walk in the door and I'm happy,
Strings attached Playing puppeteer with nimble fingers and old, vivid nightmares   I'm your puppet darling   Strings attached Center with each, individual, socket
Everyday I a clumsily wake up and see, what a great and wonderful world exists around me.
Words cannot express the emotion in my body Like the rush of water crashing into the rocks  My aspiration to talk is shadowed by humility Clinching my fists and shuttering in fear
Inspire yourself to create inspiration It’s not as easy as it sounds Through strife and pain Greatness is found In oneself and in one’s eyes We survive and we move on We choose what’s important
confident yet insecure
My mind has an emotion that feeds of my heart For what I feel it expresses in words It is not scripted to what it must be But simply just wright's from what my heart tells thee It dances to life with creativity
I try but the words don't come For once, I'm rendered speechless
  It was an instant goodbye I began to cry I lost a friend  Oh Dear God, why?  
“English Major” Just a mouthful of syllables Only a small bite that their teeth grind to dust Which they pour down my throat with a disapproving smirk To them, it gushes with the bitter taste of a prison sentence
Dear Ladies,
I come from a family that didn't have much Seems like each day the road would get tough The rain would never let up but through it all I kept my head up Because i new one day there would be a blue sky
As I lie here on my bed, I can't help but think of all the lies I've been fed.
Your fear freezes your ability to see my dreams Your fear keeps me trapped and unhappy Your fear is determined for me to follow the masses Your fear is soul crushing
We live in a world where society rules most of us  We create groups to isolate our selfs from larger crowds We figure that if we stay away from the people who try and change us then we cant be changed
the highs and lows of your  words all lead to my dismay,
Writin' this for Power Poetry, Hopin' that they notice me, And I hope to see this scholarship, Cause man these loans, They make me sick, Emptied pockets,
MOM patient with the biggest heart <3 a care for others even after all they done wrong   gossip with intentions to cure any situation i honor your beauty,ease you have with words are a sensation
Dirt on the flowers Smudges on the mirror Scars on a face Not all as they appear   Some turn and run Others point and jeer For what's on the outside Is all there is to cheer  
Movies and films are much more than just fun. films that reveal victims that are more than done. i want to be a director that shares their dismay, I'll show how good wins but how evil still poisions the day.
I push and I push,
Looks are deceiving 
From the moment I saw you, I knew you were a heartbreaker.
whilst the trees , royal and majestic slept through the dark,
It's 12:10am as i write this my darling insomnia fueling my abyss feeling cool and calm as music fills the air though as calm as i feel i can't ignore my thoughts the thoughts that i can't bear
They call me 2 chairs Alls i get is deep stares Feelin like im commonly confused
  I am from the midnight sunset dreamt on by angels From a cut in half oak tree residing on a corner I am from the machine made earthquake that rocks the beds and frightens the children
 I am young and fierce; I am tall and strong; To some I am feared, and they say I don't belong; Yet I have a place on earth, and I have a voice;
Full of knowledge I received Rooted deep in earth I didn’t have to travel I am the inner cup Half full kind of tree I listen to remember Listen to the wind Who carries stories
Black and White, for some that is all there is the stark constrast of good and bad, right and wrong, rich and poor, thick and thin.  What ever happened to gray? to shade, to shadow,
When you see my half smile and bright eyes from a flattering upward , slightly to the left, angle...what you cannot see is more important. The pain my heart and hurt in my veins do not flush to my cheeks or surface on my skin.
You
it keeps us alive our eyes glow, our hearts beat. No matter the distance, as long as it is not within us. embrace the mystical mystery that plays like a musical.    
I can go for days
Are you staying true to the dream of the adolescent you?
This man is my light, my rock, my shinning star and setting sun,
I was going to kill myself on April 12th April 12th I don’t know what it was about that date that stood out for me Maybe it was the odd symmetry of it…4/12/14
I can admit that I'm not the same person as I was when I was young I feel my experiences have raised me  Shaped me, into the person I have become Through all the talent shows
The streets are empty. Life turns shallow this time of night.  The stop lights continue to change,  but there is no one around.  The beauty of it remains, but the sadness takes shape. 
between the lines across my forehead
The rush of the wind is like the blood of the earth, And the chime from afar is calming. The crickets are crying, Serenading the sky, As the trees oblige to the wind's calling.
What is society To you and me? No, What is society? You and me.   Socius, societas, society. Comrade, friend, ally. How far we have come.  
  I love the media. It’s interesting and fun and keeps us all connected, on one page. But don’t get me wrong… I don’t enjoy the propaganda, the mendacious ads and suffocating numbers,
Flowing among the thousand words. I feel my mind begin to swirl, The tiny thoughts inside my head Begin to form into a thread. A thread that continues to swirl and twirl,   
Forty poems later but for you this is number one, read this and I’ll show you more to come. Dear lord give me the confidence, this girl’s got me in the power trip.
Dont forget about me, dont forget where you came from,
Eighteen score years ago, a cradled crying baby - who was given an enlightened path - was born
Broken people,Lost and delirious.Where to go from here?Their empty, colorless eyes look at me,Begging for relief.For sympathy.I am continually saddened by their state,
I dream of having a voice traveling the world to see the ways of people in other countries live to write about what I come across and the observations I have made  
I think about you every now and then You're not my friend No you're too akward, even to pretend I guess it's whatever   So shy and sweet, until she crys and you're not there to sweep her off her feet.
Got to be true to myself if im true to no other
I have a house I call my own, within a white cerebral sky. It’s lively and it flows, but someday it’ll die.                                   Splattered with pink, red, and white,
Someday we shall meet and everything will fall in place, without the any notice and your arrival and be unexpected, when I have fallen you will be there to help me back up,
What is life? Living in a country where freedom is the key Yet, being told what to do till you die Being expected to be perfect Being expected to become rich Yet, you get critizied by the color of you skin
As we stare into each other's eyes
I am the first in my family to go to college I just wish I can get more acknowledge I consider myself smart  But I can be very critical on myself for the most part I am an independant women who has many goals
We all have those days. Those days we feel like nothing. We just want to sleep forever. Maybe you haven’t felt that yet. I have. You just stare at the wall. You think about everything.
Into the mist

Here I am, More dead than alive, But there you are taking a stand,   Here I am, More asleep than awake, But there you are taking a stand,   Here I am, Ready to be with you,
The Sun, high and mighty in the sky.We see it everyday yet people don't note it's complete power over us.While most see it as an object in the sky, I gaze upon it as a harbinger of hope.
I am someone who never gives up, fighting for what I believe in, fighting through dangers I face:
When the sun shines through the clouds and the world seems to glow.
The layered glory and weakness, The wounded and the broken, Finally receive good news. Some of the lost have been found. Some of the dying have been saved. Some of the bad have been beaten.
Life is to be heard. It you don't take a chance, why are you living?
I miss 
I just want someone who will be simply content by my side. Someone smart and funny. Who will be happy having me, flaws and all.
Black darkness.  1:34 a.m. Thinking of you: Good morning. I miss you. But then I remembger you have embarked on a journey that I am no longer part of. But still -  Good morning. 
Missed you today. It's been a while. 
You live to be loved, but what is there to love when so many are wanting to survive and do not have  the heart to stop and think - if they were to love, it'd be okay, It'd be okay.
I remember how much it hurt, I recall the betral, I can still feel the pain. The hurt of your smiles, smiling as if everything's the same. I saw it coming, I just never got around
They come and go, as they always do. Some linger longer than others. And yet others  still are oblivious. But who can blame human nature? Stay detached.
As I try to grasp upon this abstract feeling within me, "butterflies" as they call it, bewildered by the tension pressuring my cells running through me, pumping wildly and surging through my veins,
Lost of air... that's the feeling. Loss of heart, and  the loss of care. It's the loss of the part you used to hold, the loss of the feelings you thought you had shared, It was 'mutual'.
Him
You fill my veins with poison, you drive my mind insane, It's you who leave me  unwanted, my soul so filled with pain. I try to walk away, forget you, I try to never look backm
I didn't mean to fall in love, like how you didn't mean to  say goodbye, Like how you didn't mean to find another, another perhaps better than I. I didn't mean to fall in love,
love love is a distinguished feeling a true feeling it can be imagined but better when experienced love is pure love is kind love is found in the deepest barriers love is unexpected love is bright
Why?
There are seven billion people on this planet that I have yet to meet, and one hundred ninety-five countries I have not visited. Yet I am stuck in this insignificant town,
Time FreezesPupils Dilated
Living out of bags Going from friends to friends When Life gets this bad When It ends, It ends You put the buzzed to the side Cause you know they've lost your mind And the world says you lost
If you wan
Me
I am the secret adventures through the woods.I am the distant sounds of singing.I am the late night games of tag with childhood friends.I am the voices intertwining to become one song.
What is Love? Is it fair? When one loves someone, yet the other doesn't care. Is love a war? Is love a fight? Is love worth all those sleepless nights?
Can't you see words hurt? Does it make you feel better? When you say hateful things, Or put others down for your comfort. Others have feelings too, times where we want to be done.
Is it possible to see the outlines of a rainbow,
In those few peaceful seconds, it was just me and the world.
I'm lost and confused, I've been mistreated, I feel used, I fall in love and get refused.
You know the feeling... The one where you swear you could fly when you're around that one person yes that one of course....love it is painful yet we seem to go through that pain again and again why?
One job may change my life.
  Sometimes, I feel I am zero. That I am nothing. Worthless, empty, an entity with no value.  
Subliminal messages being fed to our brains
the date looks like tally marks and that would make sense to a man like you   logic reads every word for you and your biggest fan is a mathematician   you smile at me
Your arms wrap around my waist. Mine hold your neck. You pull me tight, And lift me off my feet. The smile that lights my face is permanent, It won't go away. The seconds feel like minutes
My heart races with every thought of you
If you had a nickel for everytime  I cared, you would be rich. Richer than a millionaire.   So let me be that man who hands you the coin everytime I entertain you or annoy.
When I was five I was asked Roberto, what do you want to be? What do you see your self being when you're older?
You never know what the future will bring you nor do you know who will be there when you wake, life is a game of risks and chances the real question is how do we handle the grasp of it
You came without warning, and I thank you
I don't wanna go no where I just want to stay right here feel the love is this room and only feel it with you se your smile so bright and the glow in your eyes I see my forever
If I were to change something big or small Would it be my height? Sometimes I were I were small But this would only please myself temporarily No, have confidence. I AM TALL  
I was just 19 when i finished highschool and didnt quite know if i could get into a good school. The ambition I have put me on a higher level then my peers making me realize that i can make it without having fears.
When did she become more than just a breeze?
An ageless voice echoes Like light upon water; Reflection: When a mind recovers
Fly
There once was a bird who wanted to fly. She wanted so badly to sore the sky. But she had a few bent feathers. They said theyw ill stay that way forever. Sometimes all she wanted to do was cry.
I find it impossible To tell the world you love somebody Until you truly know The color of their eyes  And I don't mean The generic Birth certificate answer Her eyes are not blue
  Ran By heart             Go in new             Not as old             Be bold             Leap with hope                         Being dope
If I could,
My pen gliding against the paper Drawing out my words A voice thats unknown, A desire to be heard Music, art, writing, A mind full of words, A voice of meaning, And the hatred of lying
I sit here 
You You and your eyes that capture me  A memory A picture  
A religion based on the belief that god exists in writing, pouring your life onto paper to recieve enlightenment to a place so inviting.
Such fools
What is a stereotype? The god fearing religious girl Who has an addiction to a razor and suicidal thoughts?  The blond blue eyed cheerleader who has an eating disorder  And a dad that beats her?
  Why hesitate? Is it getting late? Are you scrutinizing the clock to wait for the time in which it will shut the gate? Why so quick? Do not fall for life’s stupid trick!
To forget...To love...To heal Love cannot be earned nor learn I am thankful that you never left But it's time for you to go Smile just like the way you used to smile with me
When your used to speeding through life, As I have done in such a short time, Running every stop sign, Shifting up through red lights, Ignoring every sign of caution, Total disregard for the consequences,
A three year old said "i love my mommy"A six year old said "i love my toys"But, what is love?A 1en year old said "i love my friends"A fifteen year old said "i love him"
Your love knotsare tied aroundmy heart
Dreams come true If I’m willing to reach them My future will be blue If I do nothing to complete them Everything can change By doing things that I enjoy By looking at what I can do

life is like a canvas u add paint chage the color make the design but with this canvass you are never sure on how the canvas would look or how people will percieve it
I would kill for a pill that would make me feel, So happy inside,  Fill me with pride and confidence, If someone offered it to me, I'd happily agree to take it with me,
I lay still Still I lay While they look down at me   I am dressed in satin. With my hair just so And a rose within my grasp   Their eyes do cry They cry from their eyes
It happens
My dream is my job Where I get to travel and creat and invent Oh, no, no ,no, child They say No, you must get a job that makes money   Singers make money And they do what I love
We are defined Not by the hearts that beat within us
   
Those long nights You believed would never end, Filled with tears and fright That push you from the mend, Will one day join together By the hand of God on high, And become a feather,
Down and I mean really down,under the facad of reality,under the illusions of life.Under what man percieves to be right and wrong.
One, Two, Three, Four, are you eager for it's shore? The pale face rises into night, soldiers stand watch with eyes of glimmer and shine.  we stand watch on the woods of our sailors
A sad girl Who's been heartbroken and left to soak in her own tears. Left to drown without any support in her own fears.  
Dream job? Dream job? Where are thou?
            It is the sound of hushed breathing. It is the rhythmic silhouette of strides, the perfectly choreographed dance. It is the way that the summer sunlight creates small crystals in the hanging spider webs.
  It’s the name of the game the power of change It’s the posers and the lame those who stay the same When you look in the mirror and you see nothin’ but the lies fed to us since childhood,
"Resist" she screams running from ash Broken and torn but not turning back
We come to You with all the right intentions, But the moment we set off they burn to pieces. And it's only now that I realize, Just how far I've fallen from You. In Your spotlight, I become convicted,
A whisper here a hush there I feel the wind run through my hair It tells me tales of our wondrous land Of the lost good of the kind man He helped the poor and strengthened the weak
As I lay d
The transcript: 
I go to succeed, to get my degree, then life slams the door. With death, with hardships. So young. Then I pick back up and get knocked back down. By who? Obstacles. But I stood up to inspire.
My dream job, to help people, to put my life on the line for others, to protect the people from dangers of crime
i look back and see the pain you brought me i must forgive you in order to move on. just another chapter in my life that beginning with a brighter start. we learn to forget only if we forgive.

Sometimes I imagine that Robin Williams is my teacher. He calls us up from the desks that have confined us in strict learning patterns, and we abandon convention. We carpe the shit out of every diem.

I will speak of truth, Diminishing the amount of lies that continue to consume our world. I will forgive and forget, Understanding that my own mistakes are equally corruptive. I will never give up,

For those who have fallen into a ditch And then have kept digging until they see no way out…   “Just ask any question” For those who don’t know what questions to ask
Screw them. Screw them and their conformity I am beautiful I am beautiful despite the bump on my nose I am beautiful despite the acne on my temple

I wish I never pierced my veins, I wish I never pierced my veins. For this reason I'm to blame. I pierced my veins when lonely and sad, I pierced my veins when isolated and mad.
Who cares, I don't I just want to go home. Who pays attention to this stuff anyway. Wait, it's what, no way. You what, can't be. Oh, well it's over.
I write what's on my mind, I write as if I was blind, I write what's in my heart. There's no formal training, Or guidelines I follow. Emotions are my direction, Feelings are my guide.

A Creative Mastermind, An Intellectual Genius, An All-Star Athlete, A Renowned Scientist. All these, and none of these are I. A normal guy with normal goals. Average intellect to all I meet.

Since the day you walked into my life You have brought out the best in me Everyday has been without strife You’ve filled my heart everyday with glee Every time that I look into your eyes
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

An adventure all to myselfI once again escape into my own realmA kingdom that has been lost to all but IA land that has been enveloped by my imagination

I wondered as I walked on Thinking, "Where am I going?" Don't we all wonder?   I wandered and pondered the question Wracking my brain  In an attempt to find Answers.  
Words.   The kind of words that evoke vivid emotions and wake memories on a shelf  long hidden under a thick fuzzy coat of dust. Obscured by bound volumes of the every day 
I stare at your glowing face in the light of the moonI wonder where it is the person I loved has goneWhat has happened to our loveI also look into the space where your heart,the heart which beat so strong and true, 
Motivation, Possibility, and the possibility that I can grab which is beyond my reach. I am not religious, but rather superstitious. and Demons cloud my mind, My faults manifest themselves as sin,
Is it really worth it? The heartache the pain that you leave behind. Is it really worth it? A mother who has to bury a child, do you really want that? Can you see what you will cause?
You say you want to know my heart But when I give it to you, You turn it away.   These words I write are more than words They are peices of my heart. These stanzas and lines are all I've got
My mind is a sprouting seed; Knowledge a necessity, Growth a challenge.   Too much impatience causes me to wilt;

Poetry: vent of the burdened, lost, and decieved, so many spirits lifted, I have seen. An art that has saved so many lives,  and helped you see through evil's lies.  It has reminded us that no one can bring us down,
The wind moves at a slow paceCreating a whispering voice Talking to shadows as they creep Through the eerie and morose night.

  I suppose I’ll take better care of my nails from now on. Your’s were always the perfect length coated in pastel pinks neatly curved like the edges of your smile.
  Why did you have to love me? I can promise you that it’s nothing against you. But, I turn away because I keep love close, maybe too close, and I think that I will only remember and love you.

As the ocean conforts me. The only thing between, Me and the sea, Is the air I breath.   As the tide comes in, I feel safe within. As the tide goes out, It takes my doubts.  
Smile or pain Which will it be to speak with a voice or let action take the lead   Should I go south, through a maze I know around or should go north to maze that looks unbound

Hear their sickened words their twisted lies taste the poison on their tongues   Isolated and alone i hide in the shadows away from the evil away from their world  
Poetry is an art,  A meduim of words.  It can come from the mind,  Showing passion or pain.    I write to express,  It becomes an outlet for emotions.  Only for my eyes, 
Never give up on your dreams Focus on today If at first you dont succeed Then find another way   Dont ever say you cant When you know you surely can The solution to any problem
 When i look into your eyes, their full of wonder, beauty and suprise.When i see your gorgeous hair, all that i can do is stop and stare.You always know what to say, to give a great start to the rest of my day.If i start feeling sad, you know just
Start here. Ready GO! I begin sprinting down many different paths, one leads into the next and suddenly, I've fallen; into a pool of creativity where the possibilities are endless. 
  Why I write: I write to unleash desire Like many forbidden dreams, I write at night I write to control the beast who wishes to devour
Many things in life come and go Withering from existence Hinderances and doubts grow Affecting our experience   Fear cultivates in our hearts Uncertainty is a great worry
What's the meaning of life? Is it to push ourselves to the limit? To find happiness? To overcome struggles? Life is complicated. Better not  think about it. Go with the flow is the best way to go.
My dearest darling, I am right here can't you see? You are the one who set me free. My smiling sunshine, You gave me courage when I doubt, You make me smile when I pout.
..This is the savage breakdown of a girl with dreams and aspirations Devotion to a craft, practice with no HONEST reciprocations. Enclaves of nothes and I play em all in different keys--- chords,
The truth is often tainted to fit ones perception of what they would like to believe. And whether you believe this or not, here's a few words of advice for you : Dont let you mouth deceive your heart.
I AM MUSIC, THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE OF THE SOUL. MY BEATS MAKE YOU STOMP YOU FEET. THE BRASS SECTIONS IN MY SALSA MAKES YOUR HIPS MOVE SIDE TO SIDE.
Its a shame how this world can care less about an education When Martin Luther did all this fighting on segregation but all it takes is a little focus and dedication a little interest to learn and preperation
I, alone, get to choose who I get to be. That choice is mine alone. No one else but me.   Trials and tribulations along this winding path can be met with Fervor or be met with Wrath.
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
I started writing to express the hurt that was wrapped, twisted, and concocted inside of me. It seemed to be the only way that I could fully open up and express where I actually wanted to be.
Okay God, what do I do now? I've prayed and rebuked, but the feelings of everything cloud my mind. It's not that I don't try, I won't lie, I do try... But, peace never seems to pass me by.
I can't be there with you, but we can dream. My eyes filled with tears of hopelessness. My thoughts filled with the pain of judgment. My ears filled with the sound of destruction. My words constantly formed in the way of defense. 
Why
I smile because it's gorgeous & cry because I'm hurt I don't take no ish from ANYONE Because I value my self worth I dance because I can & laugh because it's funny Niggas stay fishin'
There's something aboutThe way someone smells,Or the sounds they make when they'reNearing sleep,Or the way their skin feels Against your palmsThat makes you appreciate themSo much more
Her
She stands in front of the mirror and gives a good look at herself. She wants to see a heart shaped face with light eyes. She wants to see a clear skinned girl with a slim figure. She wants to see everything she isn't, in herself.
What exactly does poetry mean to me? When I believe it’s a totally different world to see Where you express your deep thoughts in words to please Your wandering mind that must be set at ease.  
Flying. Soaring. Coming alive.My dreams unfold before my eyes.They're only words, some people say,But my imagination sees it a different way.
I write because it frees the words my heart has hidden. These words hold onto my innocence and contain emotions I can not express otherwise.
No God, No Peace Know God, Know Peace Know Knowlege, Know Power No Failure, No Cowards Know Love, Know Pain No Pain, No Gain Know Ambition, Know Succes No Breaks, No Rest
  Why I Write? I write because if I don’t Somebody else will tell my story Somebody else will see what I saw Feel what I felt Hear what I heard For me   Why I Write?
I write. I write to love, for the people who do not deserve my love. I write to feel, the emotions I do not feel. I write to express, so I can release the anger within. I write to understand,
stress is upon you you must remain focused now the fight will go on
Writing is liberation, it's freedom, it's experssion, it's talent.  Writing is confidence, intelligence, it's inspiration, it's power. Writing is a mask, an outlet, a safe place, it's scary. 
I'm starting to feel worthless , instead of worth it.  I'm starting to see what loneliness feels like.  I'm feeling something is missing..  I feel so unheard.  I feel the weight of the world on my chest.. 
Why I write , you might never know.  How it feels to have the words flow, from my mind through my soul to the paper..  all my secrets out to be told. 
My days flutter and fly, Much as the wondrous world, Though I look up at the sky, I still wait for my meaning to unfurl.   Each day I would lie and wait and watch the birds,
  Oh Angelic Extension of my mind's orchestra Form your divine halo  Block daily screeches from the my mental sanctuary Whisper meditative melodies that will help me transcend carnal noise
      Hope deferred makes the heartsick Toxins of hurt and shame permeating Leaving fuels of carnal residue Where pride flicks its presence and magnifies it all  
      From Tonka Toys to Tick Tock on a clock   The time has come to put the childish things away   This prince must now become King   The training is over!!! I step into the ring
  From the internal core of my earth I release a world of bright hope From my hands, flowing streams of smooth syllables nourish the barren lands of men's souls   This is why I speak... I write... I live  
As I stumble alone, I help myself up. With a pencil or pen I write "don't give up".   It's my escape, my passion, that's why I write.  In the arena of Life, my pen wins the fight. 
He makes me sad He makes me love him He makes me feel love for life, music  Stirring up something so gentle Feeling grace is a blessing. I long to make  Fearless, Gentle, Lively, Powerful
Happiness isn't just an intense emotion. It's a state of mind, a sense of peace. One will simply find  happiness in the moment, not by searching for it.   Remember, there's more to being happy
  Dressed in army greens Brown boots, tags around his neck Finally he’s home   No trace of a smile He is very different now Finally he’s home   He was in the field
I can see it Far away in the Distance it waits And so I run Run toward what sits So far away I don’t stop Don’t slow down I keep pushing Faster and faster
I've been to the bottom and I have felt alone, But as I look around away is where I'm blown, I'm surrounded by love always have and always will be, The endless support amazes me,
It's all new. Never done this before. People keep asking me if i'm ready.I smile and say "kinda". When I know inside that I am nowhere near ready.
Have you ever seen a baby?  Have you seen the way it's newborn skin scrunches up at a funny smell? The child's immediate reaction is to make a fuss. It needs it's mother to hush it back to sweeter smells, sweeter times.
Everyone is tangible/ Lacerations cut deep within one's pride/ Castigations fly freely from lips of an octogenarian idol/ Sorid, vile words were bladed sharp/ Everyone is tangilbe/ Aspirant to move forward/ Pushing through the cracks of the dark,
I want to rain hard on the ocean, Shatter into a thousand peices On the surface of emotion -  Melt into something bigger than relief And cry with something like devotion In the soft waters beneath.  
"You look normal" "She looks FINE" Why can't you understand the pain behind my eyes?   "I have a short temper" "I scream and shout" Why can't you understand that I can't control my pout?  
LOVE; a feeling that can't be defined. Nor described. UNCONDITIONAL Love; Feelings that can't be set aside. Feeling like no one understands. Finding no on to confide in. LateNighhts.
Staring out at the city lightsI was wasting time, wasting timePhotographing the pieces, I reached new heightsRealizing the old colors never seemed to rhyme
The ultimate escape to a new life if only for a short while an escape to dreams and hopes of love, wealth, or happiness The magic key in your hand that opens a portal with ink
A poet wears no badge, nor hat with "literate" scrawled across it, nor x-ray glasses with which to examine all inequities in every passerby passing by   A poet wears a mask,
Though we have many strengths and skills having imperfections is always real some of us may need pills while others don't need any thing but an appeal   We have to embrace the fact that we are made
Up e a r l y, sleep l a t e. These thoughts talking all before I fall. Asleep is where I cant go.  Because thoughts converse with e v e r y soul. 
It’s really sad when someone feels that death is the only to finally find peace. It felt like I had hit a brick wall when I found out that you had taken your life.
(poems go here)
I used to write backwards because straightforward didn't rhyme right And the talent I wasted tasted like lemon turned into lime bites Water turned into wine might sober me up enough for this
I'm rocking in my rocking chair. I'm rocking here and there,I'm looking out my window wondering what is out there.Oh my, it’s my ex-boyfriend; he got another girlfriend,
I can see the light the light at the end of this crazy maze the maze that  put me through the endangering hell. I am starting to think it'll happen,  the tears staying away,  smiles and energy, just being
The rhythm of the light glows bright metaphysically as I write. Dreams gratify in the night with the   messenger's kryptonite, chemiluminescence from the sixth sense fills the essence. Ogasmic waves  
Sometimes I wish,People can go out and live their dreams,Sometimes I wish,Foolish people could stop plotting evil schemes.Sometimes I wish,Love can be showed more from the heart,Sometimes I wish,
Sometimes I wish. People can go out and live their dreams. Sometimes I wish. Foolish people could stop plotting schemes. Sometimes I wish. Love can be showed more from the heart. Sometimes I wish.
It is hard to say with my voice,  putting pen to paper just makes my feelings easier, easier to understand,  easier to communicate with others if they read what I have written. Words that show how happy I am,
I write because I can, I write because in the consitituion it states, "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech", I write because the most powerful inborn tool is speech, your words.
I am me, untamed; am I untranslatable? No, not yet;anyone who has come to go or has yet to, why then question our differences too,then leave it be or take it otherwise!
Hidden system, rules function like clockwork in my head Crank, crank, crank: the demands on the system More work, more power, more output required
The life we lack, the pain that we feel, at the end of the day our love was real. I wanted you. And you wanted me. But this life is funny. It said that we could never be. I live here you ive there.
Black suit, hazel eyes I fell in love with his disguise Lust or love I can't rely on me, myself, and I
Unlike the sun I may not be so bright, but I always try to keep love in my sight, this is why I write. I run to the light, to find my way out of the night, this is why I write. I was alone in my fight. I taught myself to express my plight.
The decisions of our past, Make for our actions in the present. Our actions in the present, Decide the direction of our future.
Life. It's like that hazy glow Just before the day lets go Of it's bright and lasting hold And slips off into night's Cool blue sky.
Sometimes I wish I was a star, Shining bright and worlds apart. When I look up to gaze, At its elegance and its mystery. I just wonder, does it have history. Is there someone doing the exact same,
Everybody Falters, Everybody Fails, Sooner or later, We all Prevail.
Sometimes in life things change We watch what we used to have start to fade Drift back into outer space, like Pluto from its planet name People we used to know go as strangers as we walk by
If I reminded myself why I'm alive.... what would it be for? If I asked myself for what purpose do I strive..... what would I have in store?...   All I Can say is.....  
She is pretty One eye is Just a bit greener And she has A beauty mark Next to her lips That’s hidden In the crease of Her smile Because she’s almost always Smiling.  
     What You Mean to Me It seems like it started so long ago You only had a picture to show Remember when you switched to my class
Tears fall down my face, what is this, another heart break. At this point in time I am giving up. There is no reason to try with this kind of luck. If only I could find one special person who knew how to treat me right.
Walking down a new road,  my eyes; a gyroscope. Looking around smiling happily,  a good day, I hope.   Walking down the same road relishing all that pass,  my eyes; a sponge I pray that it will last.  Walking on the same road I see a beautiful faw
Now
No introduction was necessary For me to understand the healing that these words have had upon me Fate or destiny intervened leading me down this cathartic path
The air is really hard to breathe The oxygen is choking me The people are carrying me They have unknown identities Strange how people never see The big picture of reality? All they see is never seen
(poems go here)
(poems go here) A new daughter welcome into the family A  jewel Her steps gentle Her laughter an abyss heard only in innocent
I may be bruised, But I’m not broken I will not let an ugly past Ruin a beautiful future Still I rise Look at me and tell me What you see Not someone that’s going to fail  I will succeed
There is the pain of the heart, that arises when the hope of love becomes unrequited.... There is so much misery, shame, and embarassment that one feels,
Please don't fret my child You are never alone Please forget the bad times  That made you cry and groan   A better day is coming Just keep your head up high  Let postive vibes start running
In verse I will pour out Vicarious memories Things felt to keenly for the historian's art - Here I will find solace From cold objectivity, And I will speak freely from my inner heart
Sometimes, you open your heart, just so it can be broken, Sometimes, you cry for it to be healed. Somerimes, you fight not knowing that Sometimes, this helps you change Sometimes,
The cries of war surround common soldier as the men rush onward in excitement and yell But the opposition is fierce and men fall fast as straight as arrows Common soldier obeys
Words are my escape. They are my thoughts expressed. They are how I understand myself. I write as an expression. The relief I feel is exquisite. When I write, I can make something beautiful. I can capture attention. I can captivate my readers.
  Whisperer -- silent she floats through the trees of her Choice, and the time of her breezes is none but of Own; Inspiration and She are as one, unified, Sighing through treetops who bow with her Breath.
I'm sitting alone with my thoughts and everything I've ever done wrong.   The silence is burning. It screams in my ears.   Life is overwhelming but it's all we have here.  
What brought me here? To this blank page where words come to life.   You ask me why I write, why my mind is drawn to type about what makes me turn a question
H5 { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }H5.cjk { font-family: "WenQuanYi Micro Hei"; }H5.ctl { font-family: "Lohit Hindi"; }P { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }
P { margin-bottom: 0.08in; } You showed me my face when you looked in my eyes. I used to stare at white walls with cobwebs splintering the corners. I cried because my veins were hollow
P { margin-bottom: 0.08in; } She lived by the sea Her hair moved in gusts that stirred the dead animals as they moved their plato bones
The rippling grayness of water trickled beneath,Love, tender and sweet, was draw from its sheath.The hearts of two are intertwined as one,As the alluring season of autumn is begun.
They are just letters. Lines and curves and slants and straights Disorganized among the standard count of meter and rhyme. Oh-ah-go-ji-ko-spij-pij-yo, a meaningless word.
Cigar smoke, possibly from Belgium, wafting through the air.   Children’s laughter; the chime-like sound of babbling brother and sister, perhaps.   A thin silhouette
Wind blows through trees without a rustle And breathes white flowers across emerald hills: Petals skipping over swaying grass, Carried to the ocean through dewy clouds;
I really like you I do This I know is true There's nothing I wouldnt do for you   Just like the flowers need the sun to bloom  Just like the sun chases the moon 
Reasons I write, there are many Firstly there are no rules I write what I want How I want Even so, I pay attention to spelling And that pesky grammar I write to express my views
What you run from stays with you longer And what you fight eventually becomes stronger This pessimism is taking a toll on me It's like I can't even see who I set out to be
Play it as written, that's all. Just play it exactly as written, just as the composer intended. Everything is written in the score, just practice what is written, right? No, that's absurd. And reckless.
  The crows in the corn field wait to feed   From my flesh, they anticipate to meet their needs   They wait for me to fall, to fail, to admit defeat
  Why am I crying... Why would I shed a tear with no reason behind it... Is my life leading me towards unhappiness, Or am I just shedding a tear for each person that suffers each day.
Talk like the sky                                                                                               Become your own                                                                                                        
Best friends in daycare, Leads to blushes in kidergarden. First dates to the the fair, First kisses in the garden. All is great as the love is shared   As we become older things begin to change.
The whirlpools of loneliness were pulling me down, you were my lifeboat.   With all my effort I forced myself to push toward you.   Your kisses, your smiles, your touch saved me
Words were spoken of hate,   Whispers of love.   And although we both loved   And hated,   Hate got to us.   We thought we’d be hurt by another.  
Every minute of every day I look up to the sky and wonder Is this what you call love or is it all in my mind It could be raining and all I want, is to be with you, watching the thunder
My shoes had been more familiar to me than my own reflection. If I didn’t have them on, I’d see my feet, disgusted at the imperfections.  
His are the arms I wanna fall asleep in The lips I want mine to never seperate from Thehands that I NEVER want to slip away from The heart that I NEVER want to be shunned from I never want you to go away
I don’t love you as if you were the light to my night sky,   Or the light of a thousand suns that illuminate the heavens across space:   I love you ceaselessly without end or boundaries to abide by,
My mind is racing  My heart is pacing Theres a tingling sensation in my fingertips I Just Want To Be Happy!  NO! It's right there within my reach Please! Let me just grasp it
I smell the aura of destructionAll around OklahomaI feel the night all over againAll too well
The say the heart grows fonder with time It's clearly the same case for mine Times hasn't been long but hasn't but has been true I feel this feeling calledlove for you I will never explain how I truely feel
The Light of Innocence In his eyes.   Chaste, and pale. Like a lily in moonlight.   Sweet caramel, heated by laughter, ever gazing, marveling, at the Ocean afar; so untamed.
Some poets write in waves Gushing thrushing pushing pulling Some poets write in a steady flow Every word weighted, pressing ahead   Still others dig canals Line their words with the concrete
I have admired you from afar I have talked to you for an eternity Never once faltering on how I felt Now fear is starting to set in It is as if someone opened the jar Fear being the majority
Hateful glares, hidden glances. Romances. Friend or foe? How are you to know? Catch her if you can, as she Rise, Rise, Rises.   Grind. Everyday. Hurts. When all they see
Smile, warm dark seasons I haven’t even begun to reason — whatit is you do to twist my brainAll the frays that have strained stop Smooth, over and — quickIn the corner of my eye I see, lookMy tongue numbed
Connections, synapsesOutlandish birds living in the center of corrugated cardboard villages,Wind and the rain dissolving their trusted homes,They stayHoping they will grow back,Not realizing its temporal nature
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
Spring. I was struggling to bloom, for the new sun only scorched all in it's path.  Summer. Internally, frightened, I fought the heat. That was all you brought - no refreshing rain, no solace in shade. 
Sitting at home on a hot summer's day, A pen in my hand, What in my poem could I possibly say?   There on the balcony the blue jay sits, His feathers shining beneath Nature's light,
Our love so great let it be ever Shown Like salt spread on obsidian black Stone Our hearts beating in such great Rhapsody Syncing together in just Harmony   Let the devout reverent choir Sing
Wanting Forever for your warmth to be near, Wanting Forever for your smile to be here to re-live your touch maybe too much, To Re-embrace you to be re-enter by you.
(From the touch of an instrument to slowing tempo, the high note, key to key, no beat in the surround sound but in the mind, round and round your mind goes, imgination goes exploring, exposed from the high end note, didn't know how music would be
Your eyes are like a remedy, Your soft hands dry my tears. Your heart is my soul's melody, it makes me swallow all my fears. Your embrace is like a dream when I'm asleep, And then it's clear,
  Lost in an abundance of love, The lover gives the her heart a chance. It’s been months since their friendship Has grown they have been together in sickness. And Each day becomes another diaries page.

It was a push to the mind of a younger me. The teachers ignited that spark and it grew, vastly and abundantly, pouring onto pages with pieces of myself. They always told me I could go anywhere.

I'm torn between the two My heart beats for both of you I can't decide I can't make up my mind Because of the things that bind us Like words of love, but lust decieves
How could one decide,                                                                                                                                                    To make this choice?                                                          
I’m in love with a thing called loveBut love won't love me backAnd I don't know whyI’ve loved you since the 8th grade loveSo love me backI see her all the timeBut she won't let her love be mines
I scrapped my knees on a dirt road and brought the filth home with me Just so you'd clean me up and kiss me.
Answers aren't at the bottom of a whiskey bottle, But misery is.   You're just a child whose been hurt, And the world has hardened your heart.
Quick, precise, and subtle That's the way I like to play Like the tip of my tongue Or the pretty silver pistol that is my gun
You are the reason autumn burns red   It bleeds to compete with your brilliance   Leaves fall as offerings when trees bow down   As you walk on by, hair like October’s gown

Why do I write poetry, you may ask? Is it to satisfy a homework task? To practice rhyming fancy words, As if I were an English nerd? But that is not it.  You couldn’t be more wrong.
Pencil marks bleed through the paper and litter the kitchen table;Long lines of illustration and the brisk patterns of written language.Rudimentary chronicles leave their legacy on that old
Day was fading. Patterns of clay terracotta and stone merged with a mud-laced Arno. They say   Dante's grave should rest in this place engraved in the marble of a church among frozen faces  
My shattered remains Are scattered among the skies and I’m just laying here in some... restive peace Just waiting for that spark to ignite. Is this really what the meaning is? The meaning of life?
I have a dream And as I say these words, I feel the word dream fade away The nightmare takes its place and the only thing we dream of is a new dawn And I’m not talking about it breaking in two parts—Twilight
  That summer I had just turned nineteen Is when I saw you in shorts of camouflage green. You saw me when you were playing football with some pals
The new world is waiting for you, ready to light the way. Sitting back and watching the cold, unforgiving past simply fade away. New opportunities just waiting to be fullfilled. 
  I write for power. Power for she who will find the power in her heart. I write for beauty. Beauty for she who is beginning to see beauty in her mirror. I write for hope.

My life can't be lived by others So why do many try to control my actions As I journey forward to a new life My friend and family make factions   I have no hope for the past
looking at our target changes nothing but makes us dream changing out actions to create the better gets us moving
Step up, say your piece. Listen to my words. Hear me speak. Close your mouth and listen here. All these emotions I have bottled up, I've kept them to myself. I've shut up, but writing allows me to speak my mind.
My heart over whelmed with emotions, My mind flooded with thoughts. I didn't know how to voice them, So behind my lips words were constantly fought. Tried to voice these emotions in so many ways,
Always that Lone Ranger Running with the bulls Every hour encountering trouble and undesirable stress. With a pen and paper, Life seems easier. The thrilling Savior of humanity That
I write to be free, To see another fate beyond the trees, Scratching on the door of closer, When I can be me and let imagination take over. Typing on a steady rhythm of a key, As steady and mellow of the sea,
What is it about a fire escape? A rusty, old fire escape attached to a building that has seen many years, many faces... What is it about a place to sit that looks out over a small world...
Autumn comes and goes and soon the flowers die No Honeysuckle to last as the cold encroaches on her Down the hillside she use to grow but wilted stalks now lie Not to rise again ‘til spring so winter’s wind cannot shiver
It all starts with the spotlight on me My heart as if to burst Hand clinched to tight my forearms fatigue Inhaling deep for a second of relief
I am not from "the hood", "the hicktown", nor the city. I am not Hispanic, African, European. I am not a star athlete, a top student of my class,
I've been wanting to cry. Wanting to let it all out. but I need not punch and pout Or to just scream and shout. Inside I dive into a flow. More gentle than a stream. where my rhymes just row,
When thoughts weren't enough, I turned to you. When no one would listen, I turned to you. When no one understood, what my heart has been through I'd open this book, and I'd write to you.
Seven girls danced on a hill, On the last day of December. It was a short moment to fill, Wishing this time would last forever. As winter was moving to spring, Seasons of life moved as well.
If words can be a weapon and a bandage both Forgiving and transgressing with a little flick Yelling and whispering complements and jeers On this I then wonder why they need not a leash
The Sound of Thunder cracks On the back of her chest This ex-con yelled louder mightier Than any Lion could roar Yet when all is said and done, done and said, she still is the same
Snap, Pop, Crack! There goes an elbow with one firm grasp. La la la watching those tears mixed in, Is water, blood, and all the hope plus determination flowing from that corpse
Reminiscing is a word of a thousand blows A picture that pierces my soul for many pros’ The struggles that made me enlightened like a turtle in their slows The years have flown by like birds fleeing in throes
Poetry is like a window Where nothing is hidden The transparency of it all Makes you go the far distance To show your true emotion Feels like your floating in an ocean The ease of your mind
Im ready, i was born ready, to suit up with armor, my helmet heavy, i look up to the crowds they shout and scream, as we approach the field, or the battle ring,
Adore all your acknowledgeable achievements Be brave and boast your beauty Condense all your clouds of concerns Demonstrate determination  Exercise and embrace every exciting expertise
I was always fascinated by the universe of New York and all the stars that hailed from its solar system but Brooklyn was a bitter taste that was hard to swallow.
Torn in each direction Heavily each force draws Enveloping the sole will Yearning to be free Except it’s not enough X over each lie and fault Perceiving gone they still are there
Yesterday is one less piece in forever. Onward moving without regret, Understanding nothing of human pain. Sometimes it would be nice to put Time on a leash, Eventually It could understand what it puts us through.
(poems go here) Dearest mine, put down your needle, pick up your thread, and come away- Dearest mine, pick up your feet, draw up on those heavy limbs- Dearest mine, walk away from impossible,
As I grew older, my mind became bolder With every touch of passion, I become clutched I began to write when I began to reason reality, a creative formation status of my full mentality
There is something missing between there and here Hope is not enough to cross the great divide Everything is riding on this Choosing whether to stand or run Having lost sight of the road Under darkness we fall
Broken Ones You’ve been covered by black A sadness that surrounds you You’ve been laced in pain You’re helpless to free yourself You’ve been sitting in doubt If you feel like you don’t belong
