Dreams are a fantasy world that your mind makes for you to help deal with your reality.

A Haven because if you did not dream you would go insane from all the problems that you do not deal with through your whole entire life.

You'd be stuck in place never moving forward only existing in the past. Poem By Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Driven mad by time.

Sometimes when you need the answer's that you seek the ticking of the clock can drive you insane when everything you hold dear is on the line.

A minute turns into hours inside your mind.

It makes you crazy with anxiety and when the answer finally come you feel like the world has been lifted off your shoulders and you can breathe for the first time. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

I am lost in a river of hopelessness looking for dry ground so I do not drown.

Only to be ****** into a Whirlpool of misery where my darkest fear's thrive and as I slowly drown in my fear's.

I see a light fly overhead bright and beautiful it pulls me into his loving arm's and I know I am safe from the cruel world that tries to drive me mad. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

I got swept up by a tornado and landed in the Land of Oz where I met the munchkins after accidentally killing the Wicked Witch of the East

Then Glinda Told me to go to Emerald City after giving me magical shoes so I can get home

And on the way I met a scarecrow who needed a brain and a tin man who needed a heart along with a cowardly lion who needed courage

And after meeting the wizard he sent us on a mission to steal The broom from the Wicked Witch of the West

And when we got in trouble I threw a bucket of water on her to save us from her wickedness and she begins to melt then we took the broom to The Wizard of Oz who happen to not be a wizard at all but really just a man with many tricks up his sleeves But he managed to keep his promises as I click my magic heels together I'm back in Kansas once more Poem By Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Lost in the dark chasing Shadows of memories that have vanished as I drift away


Afraid the only thing I have left is a fallen kingdom and Ashes of that kingdom.

Maybe if I had a genie in the bottle I could wish for the life I once had and my family
would be back in my life with smiles on their faces.

I would no longer be Lost In The darkness and the House of the Rising Sun would rise once more like a phoenix From the Ashes. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

If I was a fly on the wall to observe your ***** secrets that you try to hide inside

The skeletons you keep in your closet we'll come stumbling out

Tell your friends running through the street like a freak off the leash we'll end you up with a one way ticket straight to the pen Where the guards will take the shape of you and turn it inside out

So Runaway with me to the planet of sanity so you won't be locked away behind bars like a dog in a cage. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

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

I Can't Be Tamed so I'm going to dance until tomorrow.

And fireworks will shoot from my soul lighting up the sky above and showing the world just how beautiful we could be on the inside when we got God's love showing us the way.

His love is free love it will never cost you a thing just your love and belief in him.


It is as simple as breathing air why don't you give it a try and just see how far his love takes you. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

I'll be going to bed early so I can get up bright-eyed and bushy tail

I'll be up by 6 and at work by 9 I can't wait this is going to be so divine.

So I think it's fate that gave me this job to lift my spirits up and to wash my Blues Away.

So goodnight World I'll see you after work.

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

The Bird's woke me up with a special song

The sun is up and the clouds are gone it's going to be such a fabulous day.

Summer will be here soon

It's getting quite hot out here how about a dip in the pool to cool us all off.

The wind is blowing through the trees and makes such a wonderful Melody

I got a smile on my face I can't help but be happy in my special place on this awesome day

So let's get up and dance to some tunes we're going to party the day away.

And when the Sun goes down we'll count shooting stars under the moon as we fall asleep to the Crickets beat what a sweet Jam that they got going on.

Hate is such an ugly word but we use it every day.

I hate this and I hate that.

We say but yet we don't realize the damage we cause with the ugliness we speak.

We should be more loving and open because if we were this place would be less full of hate and a much better place for all of us to live together in harmony

there's truly no room in this world for hate so we should just eliminate it

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

A head rush is what you are.

You're new and exciting an adventure that has not been explored maybe that's what excites me about you and the fact that you are a story that's not been told and I cannot wait to read your pages. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Being shot it's like having your heartbroken.

First you're numb then you feel the burning sensation of pain seeping into you then like a hot iron pain just starts running through your whole entire body like a river.

A lot of times the pain is so crippling you don't know how you were going to go on.

But one day you wake up and realize you no longer hurt and that's when the true battle begins because now you've got to learn how to trust someone with your heart all over again hoping never to feel that throbbing pain ever again. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale
Shelby Mccrary Apr 2017
The poems that I write ring with truth.

They are my unspoken words and there are millions of them like stars in the sky.

They make you feel my emotions that I dare not show

My hearts desire is plain to see all you have to do is know where to look.

And the truth that lies within me will shine bright. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale
Shelby Mccrary Jun 2017
You're so far away I can't touch you no matter how hard I try.

Living with the pain in my soul it is even harder than getting away with ******

In the morning time I see you in the Rising Sun and it's a Heart Stopper

In my mind you are the king of kings and I am your queen

And every time we part ways it's like meeting the monster of pain and sorrow

I tried to pretend to be nice and happy so you do not see the tears I Cry but I miss you and send you my love in the winds that blow and call you home. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Heaven is a paradise where your Soul goes when it leaves its body and retires from this Mortal coil we call life. Poem By Shelby Kathleen Nightingale
Shelby Mccrary May 2017
I was lost and distracted by my own desire too blind to see

But you opened up my eyes when you came into my heart

You wrap your loving arms around me and saved me from the darkness Within

Now I can see that you were the father I was always looking for I was just too blind to see that you were right in front of me


Protecting me, loving me and showing me the way

To show you my love for accepting this black sheep I write these poems of love and send them to you on wings of a dove

My writings are the way I worship you let them ring from heaven so all who is lost can found they're way.

Let them know your loving embrace so they will not fear what they do not know because you will be there to take the fear away and give them hope and love.

Love comes from you god and you are love.

You are the artist who created us and we are one of your greatest work of art.

It can be seen as plain as day you made this world for us to thrive.

Because you are our father and we are your children.

who you loved since the beginning of time until the end. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

It's cozy and filled with love.

It might not be big or glamorous but it has everything I need it's my home.

My own little Paradise and it is filled with more love than Cupid arrows.

It is the only place I can still see the loving memories of my past and the ones I cherish them with. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale
Shelby Mccrary Jun 2017
Fire in the hall I scream when the bombs come flying down on our heads.

War has come to our homeland.

Enemies all around us trying to destroy the peace we have made.

They cannot stand that we are happy and they are not so they destroy our happiness with Bloodshed and tears.

Causing chaos in the street for the only purpose is trying to break us.

We will fight for our freedom like our forefathers have before us and when it's all said and done will come out on top.

And show the world when tragedy comes knocking we become stronger because we are a team with friends, family and strangers all fighting for the same purpose

And that is our freedom.

Poem By Shelby Kathleen Nightingale
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

Poem By Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

I believe that the world is filled with magical creatures that we cannot see we cannot see them because we have lost our childlike Wonder.

And children are the ones who believe unconditionally with all of their hearts.

Maybe we should look through eyes of a child once more and we will truly know what it means to believe. Poem By Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

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
