At first I felt lost and all alone
like no one cared
Soon I realized I was on my own
I noitced a change in the air
I had became a woman, fully grown
I began to feel no dispair
Now I feel I am no longer in the danger zone

I think that little demons walk the earth
Wreaking havoc and punishing our loved ones
for everything that we do wrong.
There are little demons in my world
Hurting my friends to punish me
Punishment for my selfishness,
and for my lack of empathy.
I only hope I can be stronger than the demons.

Looking in the mirror for hours
Feeling lonely and tired
cause all you hear is hatred
and laughter from those who
only bring shame upon themselves
Just be yourself!
Trying to impress others
to make yourself look good
but end up hurting yourself cause
the reflection of failure you see
from there eyes brings you
down the road of memory lane
Image? How you suppose to look
How other sees you
Whats wrong being a little different
Thinking its okay to be like others
when you were born to stand out
Just be yourself!
Don't let insecurities get in the way
of being true to yourself
Stand up for who you are
casue at the end of the day the one who
will be laughing are those who brought you
down to there level
Just be yourself!

I wish these lies I have entangled myself in would unravel at the seams.
The truth has yet to surface but begs to be released upon breath.
I am a prisoner of her perfection.
Like a school girl, I allow flower pedals to determine my fate.
Close examination of the crevices on my palms expose our potential.
I lurk in the shadows between friends and lovers.
The comfort of her eyes soothes me as a lay my own to rest.
Her insecurities become my favorite attributes.
The subtlety of her touch brings ease to my uncertainty.
Fantasy and reality are all too similar now.
Thousands of face-to-face encounters.
Alas, not a second more spared on my insecure being.
Her smile is my future, as my lie becomes me debt.
As days become memories, it is long-term depression.
I refuse to reform but fear acceptance.
The purity of her seduction remains a riddle yet solved.
The first mind-blowing memory haunts my conscious being.
Failure is in the air.
Our unseen beauty can never again have worth.
Emotions fade into untold stories.
A brief acquaintance is left to simmer.
My first love, I hope your not lonely without me.

My love,
Distance was the issue
the need to touch and hold you
burned deep inside my heart.
Denied the right to you
made my ask myself
why did I choose you?
Knowing that the longing I
felt for you would only intensify.
Those long long nights
where I would picture you
laying next to me again,
Our bed a dark reminder
that you were no longer there.
My thoughts would overtake me
tears would flood my eyes, knowing that
all I could do was remember the times
when you would wrap your arms around me
and tell me everything would be alright.
Do you know I dream of us?
becoming one and having a son
praying that the distance between us would disappear.
The darkness sets in and
I worry, is he the man I truly love?
or is he a man of convenience?
feeling the loneliness of four long years
I ask again, is he the man I truly love?
Is this love real?........
I will never know the answers to those questions....
my love never returned again.

As the brigades march onto the field company by company squad by squad every person knows this isn’t another Saturday.
Every man woman and child is filled with pride as they see their brother, sister, son or daughter waiting to standing on the field.
For the freshmen this is their first time and they have been waiting with baited breath since Induction Day.
The colors are presented and the anthem is sung.
At this game though, it has special meaning as each Midshipman and Cadet thinks of those who came before them and of impending service when they graduate.
A squadron flies overhead and a cheer erupts. It’s game time!
Navy has won the toss and elected to kick.
The ball sails through the crisp December air, and the Black Knights race toward the Midshipman ready to do battle.
The next sixty minutes will decide more than bragging rights; for some this is the last time they will face off against their brothers in the most powerful rivalry that sports has ever known. Victory for these men will be sweeter, and defeat will haunt them for life.
A Midshipman has the ball; he dodges and weaves through defenders breaking tackles as he goes.
Finally there is a sliver of daylight and he sprints to it.
20…15…10…5…TOUCHDOWN NAVY!!!!
The crowd erupts and the plebes hit the deck for pushups.
The extra point is scored and the exhausted plebes are allowed to stand.
As Army attempts to even the score Navy is there every step of the way. Both teams give it everything. The weight of each respective academy is on their shoulders and neither wants to fail.
Half time comes and the Commander and Chief marches across the field to take his seat with the Black Knights.
Army scores and ahead by two points with five minutes on the clock; the air is filled with excitement as each team prepares to leave everything on the field.
Navy inches down the field and the clock dwindles to its last three seconds. They are just outside field goal range.
The Midshipman feel their hearts sink; but wait, a kicker is coming to the field.
He looks at the goal posts fifty yards away and at the ball where he stands. He tries not to think of what would happen if he were to miss.
A hush falls over the field as he steps to his place. The center looks back and the kicker nods his head. The ball sails to the holder as the kicker runs to kick. It’s all in slow motion as he feels the ball make contact with his foot at watches it begin to fly. What seems like an eternity takes all of two seconds as the ball floats toward the posts. It has the height but will it make it.
Every eye follows the projectile.
THE KICK IS GOOD. NAVY WINS!!!!
The teams rush the field and the coaches shake hands. Only one thing left sing alma mater.
Army sings first with Navy standing respectfully behind them waiting to sprint to the Midshipmen. As the last note of On, Brave Old Army Team rings true the Navy players run to waiting fans and the band starts to play.
I told you this wasn’t another Saturday.

Why I Write…..
I write because it the only thing I know
you can’t go wrong in your on words
its like a get away
a free ticket to a relaxation
No one can tell you if your wrong or right happy or sad
I write because it feels so right
The only place I truly feel comfortable
I feel I belong to something important
I write because this is my escape from all the pain and sorrow that come from this dreaded life
I write because I can tell a story &
Wont be judged because remember ….
Thisw could be a lie !
This could be a fairytale who’s ever to know but than again..
It could be the scary truth because this is the reason
I write

The sound of chirping fills my ears. i open my eyes to the soft, freckled pale face. she ever so beautifully smiles at me telling me good morning. the chilling voice would start singing my favorite morning song "you are my sunshine, my only sunshine"... and the soft fingers thats connected to her cold wrinkly hands would rub my face until i start to doze away. today i started my frist day of school. she was standing with me at the bus stop. it was a dark chilly morning. she was holding my hand, reassuring me that everything will be okay and she'll be here when i get back. as the bus came, i clang to her as if i was falling from a cliff. she finally got me on the bus. as we drive away i watched her slowly get smaller. a few hours has passed and the bus was pulling up to my stop, sure enough there she was. smiling and waving and with that look that i now know means "i told you so".
a few years has passed and i'm standing in the court room with a few people who mean everything to me including her,. once again clinging to her. but we're not smiling nor happy at the reasons why we're here. i'm crying and she's reassuring me that it's ok. a few hours has passed and justice has been served.i walk to her and there's that "i told you so" look again.
a few more years has passed and i'm about to walk to get my diploma. the one thing that lets me know i have finished 12 hard years. she's right there grinning from ear to ear knowing her baby is growing up and getting closer to being a grown woman. she knows i have doubted myself before i got to that day. as i got my diploma that "i told you so" look is among that soft, pale, freckled, more wrinkled face.
a few years later, i'm wearing a white dress waiting to greet the man who took my hand in marriage. she's standing behind me observing the young woman she has raised well in her opinion. she lifts her boney fingers to help me with my dress, knowing i'm so scared and doubting. she reassures me again. the time comes to where i greet my future, i walk down and marry him. i look at her and she's smiling so brightly with tears and that "i told you so" look is there.
my first child was born, nine long months of tears, fear, happiness, doubts, talks, yelling, cravings. she was there to reassure me over and over again that it's okay. and she was with me when my baby was born. she was smiling at me holding the baby. her "i told you so" look bloomed once again.
it's been a few years since she has left me. i miss the mornings waking up to her, i miss all my firsts with her, i miss her being by my side doing all the successful things i've done. i miss her. but i know she's proud of me and everytime i do something and succeed i know she's giving me her look....."i told you so"

Your warm shiny and smooth texture.
It makes me buzz insanely.
You stick on my hive ever so tightly.
Your sweet nectar seduces those with such a gaze.
I take to the skies viewing your beauty from afar.
I enjoy every moment it takes to create such an art.
I seek the material and think about you makes my wings fuzz.
The very thought of you makes my fuzzy legs weak.
The taste of your sweets makes me drool. You are the envy of all creations.
The very gods crave my skill.
Mother Nature herself is jealous of my work.
The slow pace, in which you move, makes everyone stop and take a deep look.
Your succulent taste mesmerizes those mindlessly.
I have to give them a sting back to reality.
The flowers are just there to be.
You are placed here to give pleasure to all
.Saring.
"Do you remember the falling stars running swift like horses through the night sky sudddenly leaping across all our wishes -- Are you recalling all of them we made? Each and every time we looked up we were astounded by their swiftness, Loving that we might have our wishes come true. Do you remember all the promises that we made? The remembrance of that day still stays with me."

They say were free, but how can that be, when we see young kids die from poverty.
They say were free, but yet how many people have to fight just to be free,
if were free then while are we so trapped and alone with no place to go or no home.
Freedom is to be free but yet millions live in poverty. They have no food or no place to go and that is just horrible.
we as people need to see the trurth that is we are not free and nor will we ever be

never give up hope, it brings happiness to the soul that there is a chance.

Stand up tall, don't back down. Wipe your eyes, turn around. Look in the mirror, put down the knife. Is this how you want to act for the rest of your life? Right now it's hard, it only gets harder. But if you keep going, you'll keep getting farther. Farther towards your education, farther towards your goals. Know you are loved, it will fill up all the holes. Take action, be smart. Be sweet, not tart. We live in a world where we can't be ourselves. In the eyes of others we look as plain as the shelves. But there are those who stand out, those who take action. Those with a goal, those with a passion. A dream is nothing more than a dream, it's at the bottom of the ladder. It's what you do to make it come true that matters. Take a step back from your life and look up to the sky. Do you want your life to keep passing you by? There are so many opportunities at hand, all you have to do is travel to that land. Wake up and realize what you're missing out on, get up, get out there, now you have won.

A day that contained
No substance
No meaning
No worth
A day that
Might as well have ended right when it began
A pointless day?
Doing pointless things?
But is this even possible?
Is it possible for you to live one day
A single day
That has no point
I find it hard to believe
That for 24 hours
There was not a single moment
That had a point
That gave that day purpose
This mythical pointless day
Is but a deception
A deception of the eye
Because sometimes the purpose of a point is hidden
For every smile can bring joy to a heart.
For every hello can make some feel noticed.
For every word you say can change someones life.
For every action you make can set an example.
All of these being possibilities
However
For those who want more than a possibility
Make a defined point to each day
Brighten someones day
Give what you can tangible or not
Mold minds with your experiences and ideas
But most of all
Never forget the possibilities

I saw her weary eyes
they weren't the serene brown ones I knew
I sensed fear, desparation, a cry of help
I screamed at the world asking why her
why not the father that lied, cheated, and hurt
Why the mother that gave us her life
I cried
days
months
I was angry for being so useless
my words and comfort wouldn't take her cancer
every six months
I see those weary eyes

Life is funny the way it works
we always hear "bad things happen to good people"
but not something this bad.
15.
At the age of 15, I found depression in the worst ways.
At the age of 16, I got my first kiss and thought I was in love with a boy who lied.
At the age of 17, I was drinking, smoking, taking pills.
Depression hit me, and another boy lied again. The drinking, the smoking and the pills had taken over me.
But now that I'm 18, I get to see the world a little better and realize these were all mistakes.
Mistakes that were okay, mistakes that were meant to be.
But she was 15 and had the world to see.
Her cold hands, face, body.
A brain aneurysm ruptured they say, took her away.
The brightest star in the sky, a movitation, a kind noble person.
Giving and giving, until her last breathe.
Because of an aneuryms.

times are hard
work is harder
as much as you climb
you get knocked down farther
praying for better times
losing everything you own
thinking about that night
the government took our home
dads hands bleed from work
mom teaches special needs
nothing can heal the hurt
of feeling inbetween
bankruptcy in progress
nonstop stress
mom breaks down daily
from all the duress
lawyer after lawyer
dad feels he's failed
when its only the economy
that has completely derailed
times are hard
work is harder
as much as you climb
you get knocked down farther

Tough
The thought of a challenge, brings some thrill
Continuing to fulfill my duties, against my will
I wish the days could go by fast
But then again I want them to last
The sweat slid down my face
Drip drop as if in a race
I stepped on the field ready to go
Hair slick back wrapped in a bow
My stick, my weapon
I carried a ton
My courage, some pride
As if I won
The game was the reason to live
But the life I planned did not yet begin
Determination- that is all you need
But it was never the answer,
For me to succeed
I lost myself confused by the game
It was a ball and a stick
I thought with shame
I am me
Intelligent as can be.
The shame feels awkward.
Thinking about it late at night.
Makes my head in pain, pain I can not regain
I questioned myself … this isn’t my game
Hypnotized by the sport I love and admire
Every year goes by and the passion just continues to grow.
How would the academic year feel without it?
Field hockey is as large as life to me,
It gives me direction on how I outta be.
Long bus rides, endless nights, and restless legs.
Waking up and feeling stuck to my sheets.
Walking to class as slow as molasses.
Keeping my eyes open, struggling to see the board, I convinced myself that I needed glasses.
“Blood, sweat and tears” that’s what they say
Coach says you need to think that to play
She forgot books, studies, and grades that’s the way
How am I supposed to be all I can?
When I’m stuck living in la la land?
My dream you ask?
To reveal me, move this mask
I hide behind that same stick and ball
Afraid to make that fall
I will find that field once again
Our separation will find a mend
On that day, we all can play
Heart to heart, stick to stick
The old way
The sky will lighten up that night
Every star looking ever so bright
I will have found where I belong
Yes, there are days when I can be wrong
I can learn from my past to help my future
My life is a newly discovered adventure
I’ll say hello to the ball and stick soon enough
Because I will never quit, I’ve learned to be tough

(If you have a song or a beat that has the same reythem I love to hear it)
The whole thing was well played out like a good story. Though becuase it was in sections I thought maybe something inspired you just having that may be a better way for me to under stand it. I loved the force you put on it like a summer poem from Japanease culture. Though it wasn't completely prideful becuase it showed alot of backing down when it could. ^^ nice though.

My feet are tapping a mile a minute. My head is spinning and spining trying to stay focused. The audience screams and hollers. I look up my song has ended. Two minutes went by and I am finished. My two minute tap solo has won over to the audience.

When my childhood’s gone and passed
And the world all seems to move too fast
An image of today will come to me:
Three children atop a cherry blossom tree.
A blushing tree erupt in bloom,
Swaying away the winter’s gloom.
The roots were rough and thick and dry,
Unlike its flowers heaving sad soft sighs.
A boy with locks of golden curls
Which darkened as the summers whirled.
With a smile of joy and a laugh of car horns
He awoke each day just to run with the morn.
A little girl with light brown hair;
The sun was hot as her skin was fair.
Her power and charm and fullness of life
Kept her free from woes and strife.
Then there was me.
I was up in that tree.
But how could I be what I wanted to be?
A child forever, upon that tree.
I was the one with eyes so pure,
But time has taken some of their allure.
Skin soft and a laugh like chimes,
Up and down and up she climbs.
I never looked up
I always looked down
From up in that tree,
Between where I was
And where I used to be.
And when I leaped from the limbs so high
I felt I could fly in my mind’s eye.
I was soaring, all the way up in the sky
Where I’d never, ever have to say good-bye.
I looked down at the dark limbs below
Waiting and wishing to outgrow
The tree which is now all so dear to me,
The tree I wish for in every dream.
Why can’t we just go back to that tree,
Standing low, crumbling beneath me?
Why must it lean with a withering moan,
A weak breeze forcing a quiet groan?
Life’s own sad story, the sorrow within
Childhood’s death for new life to begin.
Should we cry, should we weep when that life falls asleep?
Or should we laugh in remembrance of sorrows deep?
When childhood’s lost to reality’s frost
And the tree out front has lost its gloss,
We’ll be so unlike those children,
Those children atop a cherry tree.

lies down on my bed
thinks of these uncertain things
breaking down my mind
kmabey
Sitting in a circle; legs are all crisscross, playing a game of spoons.
Riding side by side; laughing with each other. Has life ever been this good?
In the bed of a pick-up; drinking cold sodas, talking about our day.
The sun starts to set, but we won’t head to bed ‘til one in the morning, yeah.
At the end of a show; we’re about to head home and I’m looking at a ribbon that’s red.
Disappointment starts to set in; trying not to let it. It’s sure not the end of the world.
Fire’s burning brightly; marshmallows are toasty, chocolate is gooey and warm.
Flashlights up to faces; telling ghost stories until we’re all scared of the dark.
Walking down a footpath; riding on a ferry, sucking at Otter pops.
Sleeping in the open; stars all above us, feeling so good and free.
Looking at a boy; wondering if he likes you. Put yourself out on a limb.
You laugh and you flirt; and it really shouldn’t hurt when he turns you away.
Act and sing; how good can you be? When you’re always beat out by the “Queen”?
You smile and you hide what you really feel inside but it never really goes away.
This is life. This is life. It feels wrong. It feels right.
When you’re soaked from a water fight; sitting ‘round a bonfire
Friends by your side; singing ‘this is life’.

Invisable to my eyes,
This weekness that makes me cry,
I do not see them,
I can not find them,
I will never understand them,
In my sight they hide,
When you cry,
When you laugh,
When you feel joy,
When you are in pain,
When you are sad,
Whenanger is about,
I can not reach the emotion in other’s life,
I can cry,
I can laugh,
I can feel joy,
I can be in pain,
I can be sad,
I can feel anger,
They are mine but I don’t see others emotion,
I can not explain it,
It just is blessing and curse,
It’s my life,
I am proud,
For I am Autistic.
linseyd
I am Autistic. Its call Asper Syndrum I wrote this poem about that fact people get upset, sad, happy, mad and more but I can see it. My mom doesnt get angry a lot but I think she does when she doesnt and has to covents me that she isn't mad all the time or that shes happpy when i think she is not. This something I lived with since I was 3 years old.

We live life not knowing whats going to happen tomorrow & we dream big so we can get over the sorrow. Life has its ups & downs but long as we have hope it will always turn around. I imagine life being a dream or nightmare because its so real thats why i look up to the sky so i know life is so real.

Voices of the Voiceless
Turn the television off
That ain’t nothing for anybody to see
We got future generations to please
They don’t need to see the shit that people think the world should be
Linda Brown having to walk miles to get an education
Until her dad told her to make it a case; Brown v. Board of Education
Little Rock 9
Staying strong through the violence
Knowing they’ll be just fine
Whites only, blacks only
Damn Caucasians and their rules are damn phony
They call it ‘ separate but equal ’
But tell me why minorities aren’t treated as people
Beaten to the bone for a simple thought
Is this what you call equal ?
What happens under darkness shall come to light,
Can’t silence us even though you try
Come what may, we will survive
You can try to avoid us but it’s pointless
You can never avoid the voices of the voiceless
You’re colored, so get up and give up your seat
C’mon Rosa Parks, I know you don’t want to get beat
Shout out to Harriet Tubman for being the first to escape slavery
One of the first women to slowly end black misery
Martin Luther King had a dream
A dream that became a nightmare when he was shot
A dream that will be reality when blacks will have the freedom of thought
Hand the colored a pen and paper
Maybe the written words will make everything better
Since spoken words just make their wounds deeper
Bang them to the floor and toss them like an object
Matter of fact, kill them
Don’t worry it’s not a form of disrespect
What happens under darkness shall come to light,
Can’t silence us even though you try
Come what may, we will survive
You can try to avoid us but it’s pointless
You can never avoid the voices of the voiceless
We got Blacks and Hispanics working under Americans authority
Living off minimum wage
Barely making a living wage
Got a broken ankle on the job and need the time off ?
My employee, don’t worry
You can go ahead and take your whole life off
Look in your rear view window and you see; red, white, and blue lights flashing
You call those colors freedom ?
Haa, these Americans got minorities laughing
Pack the colored brothers and sisters
And send them back to where they belong
Receive the worst, while hoping for the better
Their hearts are forever getting colder
What happens under darkness shall come to light,
Can’t silence us even though you try
Come what may, we will survive
You can try to avoid us but it’s pointless
You can never avoid the voices of the voiceless
Trayvon Martin was taken away every opportunity
When he was only 17 and lost his life to a bullet to the chest
Because he was seen as a threat to a gated community
Maria Jimenez left her family distressed
When she was pronounced dead
She was only 17 and working in a vineyard pruning grapes
With a baby on the way and her future ahead
What happens under darkness shall come to light,
Can’t silence us even though you try
Come what may, we will survive
You can try to avoid us but it’s pointless
You can never avoid the voices of the voiceless
You got words surrounding your whole neck
Trying to swallow them before they kill you
Knife to your wrist as you dropped to the floor
Wishing the queer that they harass wasn’t you
Nobody wants their life in the hands of someone who’s tatted
Nor one who’s full of piercings
People constantly making prejudgments
But you and I both know, they’re misjudgments
They say ‘ never judge a book by it’s cover ’
But everybody’s hidden stories seem to get colder
They chew you up and spit you out, cause no one really cares
And ain't no body going to hold you when you’re really scared
brie anna nicole
The truth will rise People will fall In the end life goes on This world can change If someone can trust in themselves to acutally work towards that goal and you are on point

People say life is about meaning
Peeople say life is about feeling
People say life is about living
But, what is life really about...
Sometimes, I live life thinking about right and wrong
Sometimes, I feel the love and hate
Sometimes,life doesn't make sense, no meaning
If you ask me, I'd say...
Life is about loving others
Loving your friends/family
Love you and what you stand for

A boy and his dad on a fishing trip, there is a glorious fellowship! father and son and the open sky, and the white clouds lazily drifting by, and the laughing stream as it runs along, with clicking reel like a martial song, and the father teaching the youngster gay, how to land a fish in the sportsmans way.

I double back
Thoughts provoking actions
Actions provoking minds
I cant seem to find time
Time to motivate
Excelerate
Be great
Be me.
Excellence.
If opportunity doesnt come to knock
I say find another door
Explore
Open minded fevers
Exploding into a new sight to see
Fresh to air to breath
Ideas to believe
If only we could be
The good people we were told about
When we were too young not to agree.
Life provides too much for us not to understand
Its a brand
We earn it as we learn
That the world will still turn
And if we're not ready to move on
We're left standing still
Clutching desperately onto the memories
That break our very wills.
We hope to relive
Ones we hope to forgive
To achieve a certain brilliance we all know we deserve
Is to think before we speak
But make sure we're clearly heard.

Shadows…
Where the true self lies
In the dark wanting to be recognized
Patiently waiting for you to close your eyes
Listen…
Can you hear it knocking on your soul?
Can you feel it pulling?
Yearning to unfold
We are told to live in the light
But I disagree and seek the night
Where dreams are formed and
Desires ignite
Chaos..
Dark matter so frightening
We are taught to avoid
Even though it is the birthplace of all life

do you know what its like to see struggle from the ones you love?
to look at your mom and dad and see it in thier her eyes
to look at them and not be suprised
to see the overdue bills and silent tears
to see it this all happening for so many years
to being on my knees praying everynight
to not be on the street and be able to sleep tight
so I dont want to see them cry no more
so I decided to show them what I have in store
I came from a terrible high school with a low graduation rate
wanted to be that graduate to higher the percentage weight
my main focuse was getting where I needed to be
so I can show my mom and dad my vision I see
so I graduated with my cap and gown
just a step up from lifting my dreams up and not down
so now im attending college my first year
so happy that I even made it here
my major is biology ready to save the world from being cancer free
I just want everyone to watch and see
that my dreams are slowly comming true
and I will never see my parents struggle next time the rent is due.
so do you know what its like to see struggle from the ones you love?

It is hard to always be the best you can be.
The pressure and discouragment is sometimes all I can see.
But I want to make a change and fight for my goals,
Even when I get stuck in deep holes.
I chose to have faith and never give in,
Because where there is darkness, light will come again.
So stand tall and have the courage to be strong,
Pick yourself back up and prove everyone wrong.

I miss you
Your far far away
we write
we talk on the phone
but it's just not the same
One night I looked out the widow and saw the moon
I called you up to look at it too
4000 miles away
but somehow I felt closer than ever
We are not in the same place
yet we both are looking at the same monn.

Two tear drops were floating down my face,
as i sit and wonder why you were taken with out a trace.
I know we are not suppose to question the man above,
but why did he have to take my unborn love?
I will always wonder how you would of been,
Instead your an angel with out a sin.
As i lay my head down at night,
ill always remember you're watching over me in the light.

19 minutes away is where you'll find me, Coming to watch you wherever you might be, Not missing out on your life anymore, Being the best big sister that you can adore, You probably wonder what I am getting at, You might think that this is just a big act, I got a letter the other day, That said I would be moving away, I got accepted to U.P.J., That means you'll be seeing more of me, I hope each day, For something exciting and new, To make it all up to you, I've missed alot but not anymore, I'll always be right next door!
