write poetry and get paid for it

It may not seem to them

that we are a family

since we either fight with each other

or cause each other pain.

But deep down I know we are a family

though apart we are one

and though each of us doesn’t trust the other

in our guts we learn to accept one another.

There’s a little love that can be seen

but a lot is hidden

There’s little time to spend together

But maybe someday it will be longer.

And maybe the time is yet to come

to reveal all secrets, pains and feelings we learned to hide

and when that time comes

we’ll be a family side by side.

My family, my heart and my life

are only one

and I accept and cherish them

even after I’m gone.

some summon confidence and some over come
some summon confidence and the battle has been won
some summon confidence and fears dont go away
some summon confidence and we shall learn they are here to stay
some summon confidence and some overcome
some summon confidence and the battle has surely been won

hovering in the world of beauty and reality
blessed with nature
a mayor of his sight and the master of his desires
now a victim of injustice
lost the only thing he never knew he had
the hullabaloo once indifferent about gets him fussy
like the white house with no snippers
like san diego becoming queens
like a city with no power supply
the key used to open the front is now use to open the back
the only prayer a never says is now the prayer a says
‘god restore my sight’

All those years, I never cried those tearz. Being with you brought me happiness and being without you brought me the oppisite. Please don’t go, my tearz fall onto the floor all i can do is show a fake smile like everythings just great. If you leave i would still show a smile, the biggest of them all but deep inside i will be crying all of those tearz.

Staring in his eyes I wonder what he thinks
Is he feeling the same way or is he just making a seen
I feel his arms around me everytime were close
and when he kisses my neck i feel like i can float
Is he the man that i’ve been wishing and dreaming of
Or is he just a man, thats in it for fun?,
He whispers in my ear how beautiful i am
And then i start thinking, how i could fall for this man,
I let my guard down and try to let him in,
But when i start to get close things change once again,
He’s an independent person, and this i understand,
But why cant he just see im not here to change him,
I like him the way he is honest and true,
And the only thing that worries me,
is that a new friendship could be through,
I might of came on to strong and yes this could be true
But the only thing i need right now is a friend i can turn to!
Someone who will listen, when i have a bad day
Someone who i can laugh with, at the stupid stuff i say,
Someone to hang out with in a group of friends,
And someone who i feel safe with no matter where i am,
I guess that would sound like Im looking for a man,
But the only thing i want is to have a good friend!

Have you ever been in class
When it was boring and wack,
And all it made you want to do
Was go out and have a good snack

Have you ever watched somebody eat something
That you’ve been trying to get but never could,
Then they had the nerve to come around you
Eating it all good

Have you ever been so broke
That it made you scream,
And your bank account always showed
That your balance was straight clean

Then it had the nerve
To be over-drawn,
And you couldn’t wait to get your check
In the mail at dawn;
I ask you, Have you ever?

Have you ever laid on a cot
And slept without a care,
Then all of a sudden the legs at the head of it collapsed
And left your legs sticking straight in the air

Have you ever drank a drink that was so cold
That it just made you want to say Bttack!!!!
Or have you ever eaten a big juicy burger
That tasted so good, it’ll bite you back

Have you ever been called up to give a speech
And your words just never flew in,
And all you could say was…….
How y’all doin’?

Have you ever fallen asleep in a public place
Where there were a lot of people around,
Then suddenly you jumped so hard, woke up
And looked like a straight clown

Have you ever waved at people
who saw you but never waved back
and then you said, “Look at’em”
and it made you want to give them a smack

Have you ever thought of your relatives
To be straight up dumb to the core,
Because when they came to your wedding
They threw cooked rice on the church floor

Have you ever fot so hard
That it made your cheeks flop,
And when you felt the vibration
It almost made your heart stop

Or how about when you let out those silent ones
That be so raw,
That when you smell it
It makes you want to call the law, LOL……
I ask you, have you ever?

you’re stepping on landmines,
the ones you planted.
you’re throwing grenades
straight up in the air.

bullets whistle
and missiles whisper.
you and the enemy become one.

you’re not listening,
they’re not speaking.
their teardrops are dry
as you try to survive.

you’re hurt and you wait for the corpses,
but they can’t help themselves
from this war in your head.

If both sides lose,
everyone dies.
and for what?
a stupid war.

We are all
And we all are one
We unite to love someone
This someone is everyone

We cry and laugh
We get happy and fierce
We enjoy and get bored
We love life the way it is

With no emotions
Alone we are
No sadness and happiness
No ups and downs

We are so near
Yet we feel so far away
This has yet come to fear
From the devil to us he swayed

This spell on us was for centuries
Until one has come to truth of love
This spell will break for everyone
Because we are all like a dove

I want that start!

CAN YOU IMAGINE

LIVING DAY BY DAY

WITH IMAGES IN YOUR HEAD

THAT JUST WONT GO AWAY

ABOUT THE PAST LIFE YOU LIVED

THAT MAKES YOU FEEL UNPRETTY

ALTHOUGH YOU ARE TOLD EVERYDAY

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY YOU’VE TURNED OUT TO BE

NO ONE WILL UNDERSTAND

NO ONE HAVE UNDERSTOOD

BUT I WOULDN’T ASK THEM TO

BECAUSE NOT EVEN I COULD

AND YET AND STILL

I CANT FIND THE REASON WHY

SO ALL I DO IS KEEP HOPE

AND KEEP MY HEAD UP HIGH

WHAT MORE COULD YOU SAY

OTHER THAN ITS GONNA BE OKAY

IVE BEEN HEARING THAT

I REFUSE TO LET IT REPLAY

SO I KEEP MY MOUTH CLOSED

AND JUST SMILE LIKE EVERY THINGS FINE

BECAUSE LITTLE DO YOU KNOW

THIS “BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY” IS DYING INSIDE

THAT’S WHY THEY SAY

DON’T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER

BECAUSE YOU’LL NEVER KNOW

WHATS GOING ON UNDER

UNDERNEATH, DEEP INSIDE

IS THE REAL PERSON

SO TAKE ME FOR WHO I AM

NO ONE SAID I WAS PERFECT

I WAS TOLD TO LOVE EVERYONE

AND NOT TO HOLD ANY GRUDGES

SO LOVE FROM ME COMES EASILY

MY LIFE EXPERIENCE SO FAR

HASN’T BEEN THE BEST TRIP EVER

BUT DO I?REGRET? WHAT LIFE HAS TAUGHT ME?

NO AND I THINK NEVER

IF YOU HAVE NOT NOTICED

MY LIFE IS A BIG OL’ LIE

I WALK AROUND LIKE NOTHINGS WRONG

WHILE DEEP DOWN I’M CRYING INSIDE

YOU DON’T KNOW HALF OF IT

AND I BET YOU’LL NEVER KNOW

BECAUSE EVEN IF I TOLD YOU

YOU STILL WOULDN’T BE CLOSE

I SMILE TO KEEP AWAY MY FEELINGS

DAMN!!!!!!

I JUST WISH I WASN’T THIS WAY

BUT THIS IS WHY I AM THE WAY I AM
