When I see your face and say wow how you've grown I wish we could be close like brothers and sisters should be but inside my head I know that will never happen.

I shouldn't feel this or miss a boy I never really knew who is now a man.

I was happy the day I found out I had a brother but when I found out he did not feel the same it causes my soul ache

I couldn't help the tears I shed over the memories we will never have.

We should have been together from the moment you were born but that didn't happen.

We were dealt unlucky card.

Because maybe we would have been friends and a real family not just by the blood we share but the love in our hearts.

We would have always been there for each other no matter what.

Oh how I wish for this but I know it will never be true that alone makes my heart blue.

Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

When life is getting hard you look across the track to see if it's greener on the other side but you end up missing your surrounding paradise. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

They creepy and they crawl there always after us.

They are evil incarnate just waiting to destroy the light with inside our souls.

So They come in many forms depression, rage and jealousy

But all we had to do was outshine them and they will vanish like a shadow in the night. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Some drink to dull the pain and to forget the memories that haunt them.

The memories of their monsters that turn them into monsters when they drink the poison that we call alcohol.

It goes by many names whiskey, ***** or tequila

It is the disease eating away at them.

Making them lose the good within them.  Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Heaven lost an angel the day I met you

What's in the middle of Heaven and Hell the place you now call home

With me by your side you can never go wrong

I'll show you how we roll and teach you our way of life before long you'll act just like a human but everyone will know that you're an angel because how beautiful you glow in the light of day. Poem By Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Angel wings always on our back it's up to us if we show them or not. Poem By Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Just Like a Pill I take you every day to keep myself sane it's better than going to the land of insanity when they lock you up and throw away the key and you'll never see the light of day.


They say it's all in your head and you have a chemical imbalance.

They say they're doing it for your own so you don't hurt yourself or others.

But how can it be for our own good when you do not get to live a life just surviving not truly living.

So where's the good in that?

I don't see it.

All things are not black and white there is some gray in between.

That will prove to you that I'm just as sane as you can be.

Without losing the fire in your heart and the colors in your world.

Because if the world was truly just black and white that's when you would really go insane from the drab of the mundane.

Poem By Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

The last and Lost wolf running through the woods at night trying to find his way back home.

He looks up and sees that the moon is out and howls in sorrow for the pack mates he has lost in a fight they should have never been in.

A fight against a real beast and that Beast is man with his guns and knives the Wolves never stood a chance and now he's alone in the world wondering why he was the only one to live.


His is angry and hurt he wishes for Revenge.

Just as he thinks his revenge will never come a beam of light comes from the Moon and transform him into a man.

Now he's a wolf by night and a man by day he'll certainly get his way. Poem By Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Throwing in the towel may seem like the easy thing to do.

Especially when everything is going wrong and you're having a bad day

But just remember the sun will always come out tomorrow and it will fill your life with beautiful lights that shine like never before. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

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.

Some can even say it sounds like a banshee screeching and no one knows the instant relief I feel after I have screamed my heart out.

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

You grabbed me by my hair and knock me down but I get up anyways and keep on fighting

I'm a warrior in disguise always prepare for battle

Yes I may bend but I will never break

I'm titanium. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

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

I got love on the brain and I think I need to be detained because it's driving me insane.

I was born this way with a heart so wide and it wants to love the world instead of see it die.

And behind those eyes are so full of light I see a beautiful disaster waiting insight.

Deja Vu I say I've done this before and it never ends good I don't realize until I'm at my all-time low how foolish i actually was so I'm going to skip a couple chapters and go straight to the good part and avoid that beautiful disaster. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

I thought you were a beast the way you destroyed my world but when you held me tight I Saw the Light and I knew you were really a prince Within.

So I opened up my heart to you and showed you the beauty of love and with the flower of true love we broke the curse that kept us apart.

For I shall always be your beauty and you shall always be my Beast. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Airplanes take you away from the Sun and show you the beauty of the dark.

It helps blow away all your fears and shows you the city of delusion where everything is possible but nothing is real.

Don't trust me without taking a look for yourself and yes you do not have to speak of the beauty you see some things are better not said but shown with the depths of your soul. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Behind the veil of this reality is a land of possibilities. Like fairies dancing among the Stars and Lycan's running through the trees and Dragons flying home for a night of rest.

This world is real and we all know it.

we may not see it but we can always feel it with our hearts. Poem By Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Beyond this fickle world we live in.

Is a reality where time does not exist.

Rules do not bind us and death never happens.

It is a world of pure ecstasy and wonder. Poem By Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Life is great and Grand because I carry your heart with me I feel it beating in my chest

You are such a wonderful soul that you think of others before yourself

I am truly honored to carry a part of you with me it will always remind me the blessings I've been given because one blessing is worth more than a'll the gold in the world.

It means you believe in the person you have blessed and see a bright future ahead for them. Poem By Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

I am blinded by The Rose Colored Glasses I wear.

I only choose to see what I want to see instead of the reality that is in front of me.

So I'm blinded To the pain and suffering around me because when I take off my Rose Colored Glasses the real world rocks me to my core. Poem By Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

One morning I got up as the sun was Rising a field of flowers was soaked in morning dew and they glistened in the Sun what beauty to behold.


It dazzled me and I became Breathless as I looked upon such a serene site it truly gave me peace of mind and now I am stress free because all my worries have melted away. Poem By Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Broken Wings cannot fly.

Being broken will not define you.

The moment you have healed you realize you were stronger than you ever were before and you can now soar to new endless Heights Poem By Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

I got the blues inside my soul trying to break me down but I won't fall.

I'm too strong for that I won't give in.

Will always keep fighting no matter what comes my way

Because I'm bulletproof and nothing's going to take me down today. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Bullies are cruel.

Bullies are mean.

Bullies have low self-esteem

They think they're tough but really they're not they're just taking they're anger and pain out on the world but that's not right.

Someone hurt them so they hurt others it's just a nasty circle of pain

If they keep it up one day they'll end up in the big house and will regret everything they ever did

So do what's right and not start a fight or call people ugly name's because how would you feel if the shoe was on the other foot.

Do on to others how you wish them to do on to you. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

I caught you in the shower with the girl from next door.

I don't want to hear you explain how it won't happen again.

pack your bags and get out of my life and do it fast you're wasting my time

And if you ever call me honey one more time I'll smack you so hard you'll be seeing stars for years to come

So get up and get out now.

if you keep standing there the cops are going to be called and I'll be doing 10 to 25 because the only thing that will be left of you when the cops arrive will be a smudge on the sidewalk and blood on my fist I'll take you for a whirl by the time it's all said and done you won't be seeing anything anymore you'll be dead and gone

So get out before I lose control like a mother bear protecting her Cubs I'll slash you all up.

So bye-bye you little twit too bad you weren't loyal because life would have been good like the Garden of Eden and now you'll never know because you picked the wrong Apple from The Forbidden tree. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Our personalities are like layers on a cake some are sweet, raw and just plain bitter

But it shows What we are Made Of like our funny little quirks that drives people mad

And our talents that make us shine

And our ambition that drives us all the way home after making our dreams come true. Poem By Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Cancer's are like the Moon always changing never the same two nights in a row they are ruled by their emotions.

they can be sweet as pie one moment and a ball of Fury the next.

They love to help people and they're easily hurt they wear their emotions on their sleeves they are ******* the outside and soft on the inside. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

All I know is I got music on the brain and it's making me insane.

The beat is controlling me like a puppet on the string.

I can't stop this feeling growing inside of me.

I got to move to the Groove to let the flow of music take me to my own Paradise. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

A man has committed sin but also committed good acts of kindness.

He is not evil or good he is both and just making mistakes along his way.

But most want to condemn him

They do not see the suffering in his eyes he knows he has done wrong in the world and he's paying the ultimate price

He has lost all hope in himself and in the world around him

You pass him on the street every day and ignore that he's there

He's a person with feelings and a heart that's quite bruised

He has been ostracized since he came back from the war with demons in his head

He once was a soldier who did his best fighting for his country because he wanted to protect us all but he came back with his mind not fully intact so he was thrown into the gutter to die.

Now all you have to do is give him a hand and the man he once was will start to show up once more. Poem By Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Chained to the pain of losing the one you have loved and Shackled to The Haunting memories of your past that has paralyzed you in a world of Darkness. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

My mind is racing my heart is pumping I just can't wait to dance with you so we could be chained to the rhythm of the beat.

It's now or never as you grab my hand but my alarm clock goes off but I try to keep holding on to the dream of you but reality of the real world brings me down.

Maybe tonight I'll ask you on a real date and we could be counting Stars by a roaring fire and dancing till the sun comes and even then you told me don't stop for me.

“Because” we never wanted this to end the end is where we begin. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Change it is always happening around us and to us.

All Year around the seasons change and the World Turns.

Changes is like evolution it is a part of life.

Sometimes it is hard sometimes it is easy.

Sometimes we want to put up a fight because it is in our nature for things to stay the same but it's not in the world's nature for it to so instead of fighting it.

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

Compelling she is like a siren singing a deadly song and she is willing to drown you at sea if you get too close

Heartwarming and kind she's always doing her best to lend a hand especially when she sees someone in need she's an angel sent by God in a human disguise

Adventurous and daring always willing to try something new and she loves excitement and having a good time she can be quite a party animal if she wants to be

Reliable you can always count on her when you need her the most she's the best in town no one has a soul that glows as bright as hers does.

Lovelier than the moon, the sun and the Stars that spark like diamonds in the night sky

Enjoy having her around she can make anyone laugh or smile she is the life of the party and you will always enjoy your time with her

Restless hates being caged always wants to be free as a bird or she would go insane and never come back out the same


Intelligent smart as a tack she's good at quick thinking and figuring out things in a pitch she is so smart and she always has the right answer to any question


Energetic when she wants to be and she can go off like a racehorse and nothing can stop her she is like the Flash Too Fast to catch.


Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Cherry blossoms are beautiful and bright. They fill you with joy and childlike Wonder.

It looks like pink and white beautiful snow as they fall and dance around you. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Beautiful and bright They are as the moon shines upon them.

The children of the Moon is what they are.

As the moon looks down upon them they are filled with their father's love and they start to glow like diamonds in the sky. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Twas the night before work, when all through the house creatures was stirring even the mouse.

I was Nestled all snug in my bed while visions of a great day danced in my head.

When out of my room arose such a clatter, I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.

I threw open my door and what to my wondering eyes should appear but my mother waiting to tell me good night and good bye before she was off to work. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Imagine a world that's all neat and tidy and has no color or wandering it

Where We are all puppets on a string doing what our Masters please

We do not feel we are nothing but Hollow shells

but that until one of us breaks free and chooses to defy the ones who Hold Us Down and paints the world with a Magic Brush now we're all free doing as we please and now there's Beauty everywhere

And we are whole once more living in this colorful world. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Concentrate on the world in front of you instead the noise of the past do not let it distract you from the future of your dreams. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Conch shells are true jewels of the sea. Whenever you take a conch shell with you.

You are taking a part of the ocean with you and every time you put it up to your ear, you can hear the song of the sea that moves our soul's like the moon moves the ocean.  Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

I went to pick a glowing flower and got poked by a thorn then the vine started wrapping around me and  dragging me into it

I tried to break free but it's like they're made of steel and looks like copper

As I claw at the ground trying desperately to get out as the Thorns dig deeper into my skin

I do not know why this is happening but I do know I'm scared out of my mind

That's until a Knight came up and cuts me free so now I'm safe in his arms. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Craving you in this town of love can be a nightmare until my nights with you come and kissing a stranger in the rain it gives you cheap thrills that will make you feel high off of life.

“When” you say yes it's like a green light goes off in my head in that instant the mask comes off the mask that buried my true intentions.

In the Name of Love Don't Let Me Down even if the love is fake love.

Please be the Cure that makes my Heart grow three sizes overnight.

I have a disease that makes my heart not work right I think you're just what the doctor ordered.

Believe it or not you are everything I ever wanted and more I hope you know just how important you are. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

I'm tired of this dead heat it's 95 degrees I can't stop sweating and my heart won't stop pounding I can hear it in my ears

The Sun is bright and out fully Shining and is turning my face red from all the heat that is giving me

Being in Florida during the summer can really **** if you don't like the Heat but it is awesome during the winter it rarely gets lower than 30 degrees

If this Heat keeps up ill eventually drop dead thank God for AC. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

I called up my doctor and said dear doctor I got up and bump my head and I think am dead or crazy in the mind and I can't seem to stop my rhymes.

What do I do all I got is time.

So give me a shot in the brain and I'll be as right as rain. Poem By Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

You're a liar and a cheat you deceive the world with your smile but the truth lies within your soul

Your soul is as black as tar because the devil has his claws in you

You are his puppet and he is the master you do everything he commands because you're lost in a fog of Darkness not knowing which way to go to be safe.

Because he knows you're looking for a way out he digs his claws even deeper into you because when he has you he does not care what you're doing but when he feels you pulling away that's when he'll do anything in his power to get you back again.

So stay strong and you can do it by saying this

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

And if you truly believe it you will become safe and know what the light feels like when it touches your soul. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Depression is like a sinkhole so easy to fall into but so hard to get out of. Poem By Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

The crossing of the desert land is a time-honored tradition practice for centuries.

It teaches us how to become one with the land and the ancestors who walked it before us.

Their struggles and heartache along the way.

That is why I'm fighting my way back through the vast Wilderness of this land and against the hot sun beaming down on us.

This is to show us our purpose in life and to help us conquer our fears

I once was afraid of the dark but not anymore now i see the beauty in the Darkness and The Souls of my ancestors in the Stars letting me know that they're always with me no matter where the Journey of my life takes me. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Speak of the devil and he will appear.

Like a knight of Darkness targeting his next prey.

The only thing that can stop him is the Great Wall of light that protects us from his dark touch that can seduces us into turning our souls dark.

For the desire of man kind will not satisfy our souls hunger when we have faded from this Mortal coil
Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

I met a man in New Orleans with a devilish charm and when he spoke.

It was like a spell that takes control of my body, He is like a siren out on the sea

He likes to play with people's minds and mainly their hearts

With every command he said  I was compelled to do and i lost a part of myself

it wasn't until he pushed me to my limit That I finally said a enough is enough

Now his spell is broken and his hold over me is gone so he better watch his back because when he least expects it I'll come for him

Revenge is best served cold

Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

***** love is easier to run away with and hopefully get lucky.

And when it's all said and done we will be gone forever.

Our ***** love is as hard as a rock so nothing can break it

I love playing with the fire within you it makes the Journey more fun when we hit the lights.

I got what you want now we say our goodbyes

And never speak of our ***** Love because what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

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

Do you remember when life was simple and we didn't even have a care in the world.

Back when we were kids all we did was play sometimes cry when we didn't get our way.

I remember those days just like it was yesterday playing cops and robbers in the backyard.

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

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