Mirror of soul
Shelby Mccrary Apr 2017
Looking into the mirror of Souls.

You see yourself your true self The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

It is a reflection pool that shows you the depth of your being and it never lies to you unlike how we always lie to ourselves to keep us from the ugly truth even when it's staring us right in the face. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Hooked
Shelby Mccrary May 2017
I fell under your spell of love all you had to do was look into my Eye's and in that instead I felt your soul with mine

Now we are lost in our own little world and our Obsession of each other grows every day

my love for you is causing me to do crazy things like getting into cat fights over you and jumping out of plane in spite of my fear of heights

We may not be together forever but we can enjoy the ride

Time Of Dying
Shelby Mccrary Jun 2017
You got the devil in your head so don't leave me this way.

You're stronger than me even if you don't see it that way and all you see is a side of a bullet go flying by.

That's my kind of night when the gates of hell are at our feet threatening to open up the door to the dark abyss.

“Where” War of Change can alter the reality of this world.

And white walls are the very thing that keeps you sane it drives you mad all at the same time.

Time of Dying has came to past now we're all sitting in the grass.

Proud to just live one more day. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Hallow be thy Name
Shelby Mccrary May 2017
I come with a song in my heart just for my lord maybe your light can make my soul shine bright

And chase away the demons until they're out of sight

God is the Holy One Hallow be thy name

He is faithful and True he's always there when we need him and even when we think we don't

Never will he forsake us

He made us from his image, He saved us with his blood and he gave up his son who died on the cross to wash away our sins

For all who shall believe in him will have everlasting life in the Kingdom of Heaven

Parenthood
Shelby Mccrary May 2017
Parenthood is a thankless job but definitely worth the time.

Your children can irritate you and drive you up the wall

You can go from calm and Collective to bat ****-crazy

But you Love them with everything you are

Raising a child is definitely a bumpy road but it's worth the ride

There's no greater love than a parent for their child

my love for my son is so strong it consumes my very soul how about you?

Party fever
Shelby Mccrary May 2017
I got this fever down in my soul this party fever and it's driving me insane.

And when it's all said and done this party will go down in history as the craziest one of all and I'll become a legend. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Cake
Shelby Mccrary May 2017

Wicked
Shelby Mccrary Jun 2017
I got Wicked after you betrayed me.

I knew you were trouble but I fell in love with you anyways

just wanted to see Inside Your Heaven but you showed me hell instead

Maybe the Karma Police we'll lock you away for what you have done inside my heart

Instead of Let the Sparks Fly let the bullets fly into your soul and maybe some light will shine in and it will turn your soul white like light instead of black like tar and you'll finally know true happiness. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Freedom
Shelby Mccrary Apr 2017
Freedom as I've been told is a state of mind not a state of being.

But I believe that our minds can be as trapped as our bodies.

Our minds are trapped inside of us a prison of our own making but our bodies are trapped in a room of four walls and a door what is the worst type of prison of all?

A prison where you're physically trapped in a room or your actual mind where there are no doors to let you out? Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Banshee
Shelby Mccrary Apr 2017
When I am frustrated or upset because I cannot solve a problem sometimes I scream to the top of my lungs to let the frustration out.

It feels like the frustration that was drowning me is gone and I can breathe once more. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Top Dog
Shelby Mccrary May 2017
The world is one big jungle some of us are prey and others are predators.

We live just to survive because it is in our nature to go on.

We're always fighting to get to the top.

To be the top dog in this fight and trying to fight the agony of this world

Remember keep your guard up there's always a snake in the grass trying to bite when you have fallen on your knees and are struggling to get back up. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Beauties
Shelby Mccrary May 2017
The city lights outshines the star's in the night

They are both beautiful one made by mankind and the other by Nature

It's hard to compare their beauty to each other because they're both beautiful in different ways

One is filled with lights, music and people going about their day as the songs in their heart sings loud for all to hear.

And the other are filled with lights that sparkle like diamonds in the sky And a sweet melody that rocks you to sleep

So never compare the two they are both two different Beauties in the world. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Down the rabbit hole
Shelby Mccrary May 2017
A Dream Within A Dream Is this reality or a fantasy

I'm stuck in between

Lost on a mysterious Road without a map to guide me and with talking cats, pink bats I think I'm losing touch with reality

Should I fight the pull of this dream world or should I Surrender my self to this reality and walk off the beaten path so I can fly on wings of a butterfly and drink talking tea that makes you laugh with every sip

Then I fall off and I land on a purple spotted mushroom with a drunk mouse running circles around me so i pop a squat down on the mushroom and I took  it for a ride all I need is one bite and I'll be Sky High

I lay my head down and look up and see flowers dancing with stars above this world is so far out that I just want to stay and never wonder back into the real world but unfortunately a rabbit's hole opens up right under me and I start to fall.

where the rabbit hole goes no one knows that until I wake up back home so maybe later on another day I'll take a ride on the dream track once more. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

I Quit
Shelby Mccrary May 2017
I got a job and quit my job all in the same day.

I now know how Cinderella felt with her evil stepmother yelling at her and treating her like a dog

My new X boss did the exact same thing to me she barked orders and didn't care if you accidentally made a mistake on your first day It was a lot to learn and so little time

she won't even let me have a break her version of a break was 2 minutes

Fortunately for me my mother was working for her today as well and like a knight in shining armor she rescued me.
So we said sayonara and quit our jobs like hell I'm going to be treated like dirt on the bottom of someone shoe. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Do you Remember?
Shelby Mccrary Apr 2017
Do you remember when life was simple and we didn't even have a care in the world.

Eating blackberries right off the bush and running around with no shoes on.

those were the good old Days. Poem By Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Party like a Rock star

I'm not some slave or a ***** that you can beat around

I won't go to my knees the moment you come around

You're not a God and you're not a player just a ***** who thinks he is all that but he doesn't have Jack on me

Because I'm a rock star and I party hard

DJ give me a beat

I Pump Up the Music and let it flow through my soul

I dance on the table and let my freak flag fly high

I'm going to bring the house down tonight

The music is blaring the drinks are pouring like rain

the cops try to shut us down but end up joining the game they just can't help themselves the music speaks to their soul and takes control

The party is getting louder and louder and before you know it the Windows started shaking and the house starts breaking

We got to get up out of here and take the party to the street

We may block traffic but who cares when all said and done they will be partying right beside us. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Hate should never existed in the first place. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

One road leads to another and before you know it you're on a journey of life.

when will your destination end no one knows.

But just enjoy it while you can you never know when the Finish Line will appear suddenly

So enjoy your life before the sands of time run out. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale
