American I started to get into poetry when i was about six after watching the movie "my girl" at the end she reads a poem called weeping willow. Tell me what you think about any of my poetry! I look forward to hearing from all of you.
Does anyone care what he has done The news just needs a story He has never known love He has no family We drive by the burnt down house His ashes merged with the old memories The memories he used to know No one knew what was going on Knew what was in his head No one ever listened The little girl down the street That would give him his paper every week An exchange of hellos once Is the closes thing to a relationship he has had Driving by that old burnt down house I think about what life he could have lived The news got their story the story of the old man Who fell with his house

The Fallen
I want people to remember me Not just for the way I act But for the things I do The things I did And the things I would never do. I want to be written in the history books Because of all the great things I have said The things I will say Not for the things I did not mean to say I want people to sing about me They will sing about the things I have seen The things I want to see And things no one else can see I do not want people to judge me For the things did or the things I will do For the things I said For the things I have seen I want the people who matter to me To love me for the life I lived.

What i want
Stumbling in my fears Crumbing through your glares Rising to the sky Standing oh so high Walking from your cries Running because you lie Falling with a sound Landing on the ground What you didnt know is that i landed on my feet. Now look who lays in defeat.

Surfacing
The sun goes and hide behind the gray. A sound of thunder and a flash of light. The rain starts and washes you away. A sound of thunder and a flash of light. The rain comes down harder, I tell myself don’t cry. A sound of thunder and a flash of light. I can not stay strong much longer, the tears start running down my face. A sound of thunder and a flash of light. The rain comes slowly to a stop, just as my tears. The sun comes out from its hiding. It becomes easier to breathe, my strength regained. A sound of thunder. And it is quite, the birds start their rain song. I think to myself it won’t be like this for long.

Storm...
Dream catcher , Dream catcher . Beads in a web, Hanging over my bed. Strings that reach so far, As beautiful as the starts. But shall the beauty break, My dreams will quake. They could give you a fright, Dream catcher hold mine tight.

My Dream Catcher
You make me cry You make me scream, All because you hurt me Not only once but twice Screaming your name Tears running down my face The clock stops ticking The world stops spinning You’re gone. I feel empty without you But why? You make me cry You make me scream All because you hurt me Not only once but twice.

Not Only Once but Twice
Has my worst nightmare come true? Am I finally over you? The day I have dread for so long, Maybe I am growing strong. Strong enough to get away, Run from your violent ways. The things you yell, All the times I “fell.” Well guess what I am done. You were never worth it *** You never loved me, They way I should be. You could never tell me I looked beautiful, Without being shameful. Maybe this is not a nightmare, Maybe this is me finally waking up Finally becoming aware. Aware of the things you do, All the **** I wish I could undo! It isn’t fair, The mistakes I made, now where? Where do I go? How far do I have to run to get away from you? I can finally see through, Through all your lies, All of those fake cries! Well now im done, Done with this! This poem was my last excuse, To think of you.

Over You
“Shes indecisive She cant decide She keeps on lookin From left to right Girl, cmon get closer Look in my eyes Searchin is so wrong Im Mr. Right” The car passes the first lane, But it doesn’t stop. Mom, mom? Answer me… mommy?! Through the grass. Losing control Being tossed around. All that is going through your head is, Grab the wheel, grab it kate! Out of the median and into the traffic. “You seem like the type To love em and leave em And disappear right after this song. So give me the night To show you, hold you Dont leave me out here dancin alone” The car starts to roll, once, twice. We hit the poll and finally come to a stop. Look over, the cars are passing by, I see my moms face her body slumped over the seat. “911 what is your emergency?” “We just wrecked my mom isn’t waking up she, she passed out wile we were driving she’s not responding to me!” crying, “Please I need help, she wont wake up.” “Did you make contact with any other cars?” “Not that im aware of.” “Ok I will send an ambulance and the police are on their way.” I need to call my dad, Why isn’t she waking up. The sounds of the cars traveling at speeds of 70 miles per hour or more makes, me start to lose it. I hear the sirens, They ask me my name, and what happened. The EMT pulls my mother’s body out of the car. My daddy shows up and just holds me and tells me, “everything will be ok, it’s alright baby it’s alright.”

A Crash
Dancing is a way of life, dancing is life. Some say you crawl before you walk, I say you dance before you breathe. How do I explain the feeling of; spinning, jumping, running? I can’t. It is indescribable. Dancing is such a magical thing, you can speak to the people who can’t speak, and you can feel for the people who can’t feel, you dance for the people whom will never be able to dance. Most don’t understand where I am coming from. Why I am not sure, but if a person stopped and listened. They will hear the music of life and where there is music there is a dance, the dance of life… This dance may be one of the hardest to get through; the preparation will be excruciatingly painful. But everyone does it. Everyone hears the music at some point. Have you ever listened to Beethoven? In his symphonies there is a pattern. It starts out slow; it gradually gets louder and louder and then BOOM! The ****** Beethoven’s master pieces are a replica of life. Think about it, really hard, and listen to the music. Can you feel your foot tapping? The sound repeating in your head? This is the first realization of the dance. Now your swaying back and forth, like the trees in an autumn breeze. This is the second step, but the first motion. I want you to get up and throw the tips of your fingers to the stars in heaven. Then pull them back down. And breathe. What is it that you feel? Perhaps relaxation or maybe happiness, possibly anger or frustration? Whatever you feel don’t let it go away. The feelings you get when you dance show the audience that you are human. Like all humans you will make a mistake you will fall, you will trip, you will tumble to the floor of the stage. That means nothing and don’t let anyone tell you differently. It means nothing because, without those mistakes there will be nothing to improve. Improvements. Simple things that can change your dance. Keep your arms firm and your head held high. Your arms are the roads to your heart. You let them slack and fall, your heart gets crushed. Try holding a friends hand to keep them firm. Your friends will always be there through this dance. Don’t let your head drop for you head is the door to your mind. If you let someone in you lose personality. Your dance becomes someone else’s. Those are the only things you can mess up, but for some reason these mistakes happen more than once. In the end when the music stops and the crowd cheers at your achievements. You know that your dance has made an impact maybe in more ways than one. Dancing is a way to communicate to show who you are. So when you hear the music, start tapping your foot, sway back and forth and, dance. Dance just not for you but for the people that can’t. That is the dance of life. Your life.
