This a message to those who can't speak,
To those who haven't eaten in a week.

To those who cry late into the night,
To those who lie and say they're alright.

To those who want to die,
To those who tars trying not to cry.

To those who can't breathe,
To those who cover scars and cuts with their sleeves.

This is a message saying,
"Just hold on,
At least one more day,
Things can't get worse anyway."

This is a message saying,
"Believe in yourself,
believe in hope,
You don't have to be a saint or pope."

This is a message saying,
"I haven't met you yet,
But I care,
So stay long enough so we can get there."

Oh this little message of mine,
Is to remind you that things will turn out fine.

Just hold on,
And the pain will soon be gone.

Just be here,
And I shall guide you off the oath of fear.
I write to make
Myself feel a little better
And when I get
A reaction from you
I can't help but smile
I wish I could see your
Reactions to my poems
Because you seem to always
Love them
No matter what kind
Of poem I write
 Apr 2015 Marie Belle
Kwanele
I look at the beauty inside of all her broken pieces and I wonder how anyone, how I could have shattered such a gift.
I want you to know that I don't write poetry for you, I write it all for me, In order for me to be good enough for you, I need to be better than who I was yesterday, a week,month, year ago. I need to be enough for you I need to feel as though I am worthy, as of now ? I do not feel as though I am.
With everything being thrown at us and me having this weak and fickle heart and an imbalanced brain, I tend to go back in time , self introspect was never my friend , I was never my friend, all that is good for me is you and the poetry.
Bad for me..you are but good is not what I'm looking for , good is not what my mind thinks about , as bad as you are? You're worth all the heartache, I choose to be here, you've granted me the pleasure of being yours and pieces of me are slowly returning and we're becoming better, I pronise.
I digress, I cannot stomach the thought of all my indiscretions , I cannot tell you how sorry I am for my fear of a good thing.
Fighting my demons? Apologizing to her, loving her, my light.
Red hair, eyes raveled
Such shy beauty waits unlocked
Venus in the shell
Starlight,
Stars bright,
I wish I may,
I wish I might,
Please grant me this wish tonight.

Or so the stories say,
That wishing stars,
Though oh so far,
Grant Wishes.

If you ask,
By saying the rhyme,
Or try again another time,
The wish will come true if you wish with all of your heart,
And then maybe,
Just maybe,
The magic will start.

So wish you may,
And wish you might,
See a wishing star,
Tonight.
