I love poetry. I always have. When I was a kid, oh maybe 10-12 yrs old, I wrote LOTS of poetry. I have really slacked off in the last few years. I am attempting to get back into it
Stretch marks, swollen ankles, itchy skin , aching back Bigger feet, bigger bust, bigger belly as the day goes by tiny flutters, little kicks, tiny fingers in my ribs I've never felt like such a mess, or more beautiful Unreal pain, Iv's, medication, the clock isn't moving The room is spinning, a heart beat on the moniter next to me Timing contractions, breathing, water, trying to *** I never knew I had such detirmination , such strength two days later, finally i look in the mirror at myself Stretched out skin, saggy, swollen, bloated Swollen feet, swollen legs, lots of extra skin my hairs a mess, everything hurts and I have a scar six months later, scar has faded, legs are back to normal Feet are the right size again.. my bust, that's a different story Then there's the weight that just won't leave My body is totally different now.. and I still have a scar I don't know how to relate to myself anymore , my body is different I look at myself in the mirror and its not who i remember I don't know what to wear or how to wear it Things that I thought were comfortable are not anymore I struggle each time i have to go somewhere to find something Something I can nurse in, something that's comfortable I feel fat, But I have strange moments of confidence after all my body is freaking amazing, I made a human All I ask is as I wade through these days of new motherhood As I choke back tears everytime I have to find an outfit As I have to second guess my outfits because I choose to breast feed As I struggle with a bust so big its difficult to hide All I ask from those in my life is a love and understanding Understand this is a new world for me, being a mom Understand that my body has changed permenatly Understand I'm just getting to know the new me again And please be patient as I figure all this out As I nurse my baby and do whats right for my love As I struggle through new outfits and my new body As I learn to love the new me and feel beautiful again Thank you <3

my heart is screaming but you can't hear me i have so many words I want to say to you to many questions I want to find answers for so much time i wish i could take back Its been almost a year since the last time i saw you emotions were raw, and tensions were running high I wish i had stopped you when we both left I wish i had swallowed my pride then and told you I'm sorry My heart aches to make it up to you some how, some way I just wish you'd listen for once in all of this mess I wish you'd look in my eyes without hate and distain I wish you would feel that my heart is so sorry So sorry that I judged you without even knowing you Sorry that I listened to him and his stupid stupid words Sorry that i let what he told me color the beautiful person you are So sorry that I came in between you and him because he is an idiot I wish that i could go back three years and do all of this over there are so many things that i would never have done I wish that I had those few conversations you and i had back So that i could let you know that i don't hate you You treated me so awful, you stalked me, you wanted me to die But when its all said and done i don't hate you I know that you were caught in the mess just like was in in the cycle of abuse, mind games, and lies I am so sorry for my part in all of this and what I did I know that i am the only one responsible for me I am so sorry for the times when i should have taken your side For the times i should have shut him up, when i should have walked away You are worlds away from me, our lives have moved on There is no way on earth for me to find you You can't hear me because your to far away to hear my heart scream I often wonder if you even care to hear my feelings So this is my apology, because you will probably never hear it This is my way of saying i wish i could take it all back My heart hurts when i think back over the situation. I am so so sorry.

The sun was shinning so bright bouncing off the green of the leaves all around me All i could see was the blue of your eyes All i could hear was you breathe Emotions swirled around us, like a mini hurricane The world going on around us was so far away we ignored the storm clouds gathering at the sky line For just that moment it was just you and I That smile took my breath away every time I saw it Your touch gave me butterflies dancing in a circle in my belly We were so young, so passionate, so innocent our love we were crazy about the sunshine. about each other . But just like every summer flower fades and gives way to fall leaves our love faded as we grew and changed.. matured And winter swept in with a fury of ice and snow and it was over as quickly as it began My heart was broken with the intensity of that first snow fall In my mind these days I go back to that first moment The years that have passed can't steal it from me You were my first love, my dream come true That summer is a dream I live over again...

Summer Love
she changed my life from the second I saw her Tiny little hand, grasped my finger so tight A love and a passion surged through me Like nothing I had ever felt before I stared at her all night her eyes were the color of a dream she smelled so incredibly beautiful to me With each breath she stole my heart more and more How could this miracle be? Mine... She has my cheeks, my smile, my nose she's a part of me I never knew was missing She gave me life, seh gave me hope She gave my life a whole new begining All mine... I took her home that october day, I was scared I cried alot those next few moments and days I was lost, happy, tired, a mess... all on the inside But as time past I figured her out, even when it seemed impossible there was a way and we grew together.. As I watch her grow my happiness grows with her I can't imagine what i did to deserve this baby girl Every laugh, every smile, every milestone, makes my heart sing Its amazing how in such a short time she has become my world.. Together We face a uncertain future, her and I But as I look back on how fare we have come and all the time Together she and i can make it through anything When I look in her eyes, i know we'll be fine Her & I forever My daughter I Love you
