get paid to have my poetry published

No matter how many times I turn around,
everyone seems to hate me.
And the deeper I get in the ground,
nobody seems to see me.

The more I try,
the harder things get.
I wanna cry,
but don’t get the chance.

I try to ignore all,
but can’t seem to do it.
The harder I fall,
no one cares a bit.

Dear God please give me strength,
to be who I am meant to be.
Help me to be quiet,
and try my best to succeed.

I would like my poetry published

AT FIRST I WONDERED WHAT WAS LOVE

IF IT REALLY EXISTED

AND IF IT COULD REALLY PUT ME HIGH ABOVE

ALL THE HATRED, LIES AND VANITY IN THIS WORLD.

IT HAS BEEN SAID LOVE WILL MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE A BIRD

SOARING THROUGH THE CLOUDS,

AND MAKES YOU FEEL NO ONE ELSE IS AROUND.

AS IF NO ONE ELSE IN THE WORLD EXISTS

OR AS IF EXISTENCE WAS SIMPLY A MYTH.

I ONCE ONLY WONDERED IF ALL THIS WAS TRUE

UNTIL THE MAGICAL DAY THAT I FOUND YOU.

LOVE IS AMAZIN, TAKE IT FROM ME

IT WILL MAKE YOUR LIFE SEEM SIMPLE AND FREE

ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE AN AMAZING LOVER

WHO WILL NEVER BEAT YOU DOWN OR PUSH YOU OVER.

WHO MAKES YOU SMILE AND DRIVES YOU WILD.

MUCH LIKE MINE WHO IS ALWAYS ON MY MIND

HE IS MY LIFE, MY LOVE AND MY SOUL

THE OTHER HALF OF MY BRAIN THAT MAKES ME WHOLE.

I MUST ADMIT HE IS MY ONE TRUE LOVE

AND BELIEVE ME HIS LOVE PUTS ME HIGH ABOVE

ABOVE ALL FEARS AND ALL MY EARS

ABOVE ALL ENEMIES AND ABOVE ALL FOES

WITHOUT TRUE LOVE IN THIS WORLD, I WOULD DIE

I CAN STILL REMEMBER MY PAST HOW MUCH I CRIED

BUT NO MORE TEARS I SOLEMLY SWEAR

I’LL HAVE NO NEED TO CRY AS LONG AS MY LOVE IS NEAR.

Keep Your Head Up

Through the tainted and phenomenal times
Even throughout the notably high tides
All you got to do is look to the sky
And you will feel better and not wonder why

When you are spiritless and there is no one around
When you walk the streets and the daring stares penetrate,
Please don’t look away and towards the ground
When you are lonely and you feel like love is a need
Look to the sky, don’t cry until your eyes bleed

When they speak immorally about your past decisions
Look, Listen, and this time do it with careful precision
When you feel there is not a single thing that you can do
Keep your head up, stick it to the sky like glue

When everything don’t go as you predicted
And you feel like you were wrongly convicted
Don’t get yourself all restricted
Keep your head up
Don’t be depressed, Don’t shove them all aside
Swallow your pride, and admit that you cried

When there is no where else to turn
Look up to the sky ,and quietly yearn
For what is rightfully yours
WIll soon be there when he opens his doors

Keep your head up,Look to the sky
For Comfort is with God
And don’t for one second think that’s odd
Keep your head up,Look deep within the sky
I assure you, it will feel like paradise
Keep your head up!!

loving you is a hard thing to do, when you keep on hurting me,why can’t you see how much you are breaking my heart,just like your putting a dart through it, loveing you is hard to do when you are not loving me back, and you just keep on giving smack, loving you is hard when you always are gone and you can’t stay home and just be with me, loving you is hard when are thinking about someone else, i don’t think you know how hard it is to love you when you keep on making me cry and i try not to give up, on what i think is great,some of the things that you do make me mad and then i get sad, thats why it is hard to love you…...

Away, away. I will
Push them away.
Make sure they
Go away, and
Are Through With
Me and my mind.
It’s all too much
To take in. I can’t
Even believe it
Myself sometimes. So
I will make sure he
Will go away. I will
Make sure he won’t
Be pulled down too.
Pity, pity, pity, I
Pity the fool who
Falls in love with
Such a mess of a
Girl. He will run
So very fast the
Other way. While
I sob into the sea
Knowing it’s for
The best. No one
Deserves such a
Thing in their life.
I won’t pull anyone
With me. If I go,
I will go alone. And
I will remember the
fool who thought
He could love me.
Love me-you see
The innocence and
You’re fooled. But
Deep inside there’s
A monster you can’t
kill. Run, run, run
Quickly away. Don’t
Fall for this maiden
With tears sown on
her eyes and scars
Inked on her heart.
The sun will set and
You will be there to
See it rise. Remember
The day you got away.

Now that we’re here it’s so far away,
All the struggles we’ve been through,
All the mistakes one life can contian,

These are my words i’ve never siad before…
when I look into your eyes I can see the sunset,
When I close my eyes all I see is the glow of that on your face that won my heart,
As I lay in bed at night I always look forward to opening my eyes to another beautiful day with you,
When I look into your eyes it’s true..
your the one,
That special someone who will love me through everything,
When you hold me close you let me know you will always be there,
When I kiss your lips I still get that tingling in stomach knowing your the one true love of my life,
I can still see the twinkling stars in your eyes as I did the day we fell in love,
Will you respond with your hearts cry…..

What would you do,
if I wasn’t there when you woke?

What would you do,
if the pressure became too much and I broke?

What would you do,
if I gave up on this mess?

What would you do,
if I decided I deserved happiness?

What would you do,
if I told you things needed to change?

What would you do,
if I just wasn’t there?

I gazed into the starlit night
The smallest star it shone so bright.
It spoke to me as if to say
Please don’t be sad, I’m not far away.

And in the distant midst it sang
And danced and gleamed and bells they rang.
Its gentle words they spoke to me
And gave me comfort in my plea.

As I were welcomed from my birth
The heavens opened, I left this earth.
The angels smiled and all rejoiced
They called my name, I heard their voice.

Each night before you close your eyes
Look up into the heavinly skies.
And as you pray for each new day,
Remember I’m but a star away.

This day the two become man and wife
The journey begins for their new life.
With each day their love will grow
Just like a rose, it blossoms so.

And on this gold September morn
The crimson leaves do fall.
As sweetly as the robin sings
So she seeks her lovers call.

The bride adorned in flowing white
The groom awaits her precious sight.
With eyes entranced she’s like a dove
They state their vows, they pledge their love.

The ring a symbol of their blending
So their love is never ending.
With the setting of the sun
Two hearts two lives have become one.
