No Strings
Shelby Mccrary May 2017
Doctor doctor I bumped my head and now I think there's something in my bed

Call the fire station, call the law have them come save me I need mind recall

Hurry up smokes coming out of my ears I think I'm going to explode

Yay they saved me now I'm fine they kept my mind from taking a deep dive into the trash bin were it would have been erased.

so I would have became a Mindless puppet on a string

thank God there's no strings on me. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

The World On Fire
Shelby Mccrary May 2017
The world is on fire and is burning before your very eyes.

But you just sit there and do nothing like a lump on a log

If you continue to do nothing all that will be left is Ash at your feet and smoke in the air

So speak up one voice will turn into many and before you know it you're a symphony fighting for the future of this world and the souls who occupy it. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

we should go with the flow of life and by doing so finally learn how to live in harmony with the world around us. poem By Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

She
Shelby Mccrary Apr 2017
She
She has eyes that can see the good or the evil in people.

They are so intense they look into your very soul.

Her emotions are like a raging Storm That Never Calms.

Her heart is made out of gold.

She's sweet and loving when she wants to be but it's so hard to find her heart she locked it away.  

Like a hidden treasure buried on a Mysterious Island.

She speaks in rhyme because poetry is her true language.

Her hair as black as night. Her eyes are as green as the forest, her lips are shaped like a little heart, beautiful and soft to the touch.

And she can say a thousand word's with just one glance.

And her wild emotion's are controlled by the moon like it control's the tide's.

She wears her heart on her sleeve's so she's easily hurt.

And she could feel the world's emotions with her soul that shines so bright. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Wild Spirit
Shelby Mccrary May 2017
The Wild spirits inside us has lost its Edge because we kept it locked up for way too long

Now it's becoming docile and weak too afraid to show its true nature

It believes once it comes out it will be forced into a smaller cage then before and we will eventually become robots forced to fit in today's Society

Drowning from the lack of passion and wonder we once felt about the world.

Now we are dull and blend hoping for a spark of excitement to refuel our passion so we can truly live once more free and no longer caged up. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Vow of silence
Shelby Mccrary Apr 2017
What hurt's the most is to love you but never be able to tell you it is like I took a vow of silence.

PTSD
Shelby Mccrary May 2017
You destroyed my life and gave me mental issues you made my young life hell.

The damage you did tried to destroy my future.

Every day I went to hell and back because of you.

how cruel could you be?

I may forgive but I'll never forget.

you made me hate my life and I wanted to die and that just made me cry as I fell asleep and had nightmares of you running through my mind.

But unfortunately for me you we're not the only villain in my life they were all around me.

Most tried to destroy my mind and others broke my heart.

Now I hear your words echoing through my mind like a song on replay.

It Causes flashbacks and panic attacks and outbursts that I cannot stop.

I cry and Shout and rhyme about everyone that tried to take me down.

Now I'm dealing with my issues as my doctor has got me on meds to keep me right in the head

So it's not my fault that my nerves are bad.

it's not my fault that my heart is sad.

it's not my fault that my mind is full of cracks.

it's not my fault that I was born in this world of pain

I tried to fight the demons within but it's like trying to hit a ghost that turns into smoke and reappear

But I'll keep fighting until God calls me home in spite of the abuse I endured ill try to stay strong

And not let the anger inside of me destroy the peace that my life can be.

so stop the bullying it doesn't make you tough it just makes you a punk who's out of luck. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale
