Klutzy and an adorable My world, heart and soul all wrapped up in to one little package and what a handsome package he is so filled with light that he can out shine the sun.

Oxygen to my soul is what he is and without him I would fade away like a fire that gets smothered out

Rebel who is always trying to fight me and has to have the last say but he can't win with mommy on the block.

Brave and daring always getting into the wrong thing and getting in to serious trouble once it's all said and done he will wish for forgiveness and ask for a cookie right after

Innocent and sweet always offering hugs and kisses never wanting to be alone always wanting to be right by my side he is my little mini me

Nitpicking won't eat what we're having always having to have his way he is so stubborn that he would let his self starve before eating something he don't want but we love him anyway he is my diamond in the rough I love him more then life it's self always and forever my Bugaboo. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

It is to enjoy winter in the snow that falls and in the new year that has yet to come. Poem By Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

I loved and I lost but I do not regret the choices I made and the pain that they caused in me because they turned me into the woman I am today

I'm Like a Phoenix Rising From the Ashes stronger and better than ever before so watch out I'll come for you if you dare me to.

Every day, I wake up fighting the demons with inside my mind.

You know we are Our Own Worst Enemy.

Hearing their negative words seep into our soul.

Trying to fight it every day. Trying to stay strong trying not to give in.

but it's like a dungeon of our own making trapped inside never be able to get out. And other people's hurtful words are like bullets in a gun just waiting for the demon to pull the trigger.

No matter how many times the people who hurt you says they're sorry you still hear their hurtful words in your mind especially when the demons are awake and are looking to drive you insane.

It's like you are in a never-ending War do you fight or do you give in?

And Your surrender only goes to two paths your death or to your insanity. Poem By Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

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

Am I a monster and I just don't realize it.

Are all my problems in my head?

I try to stop the way I feel but I just can't help it.

And when I try to talk about it.

It never comes out right and I just end up making the matters worse.

I am a Walking Disaster?

Should I be medicated and locked away forever so I can no longer hurt the ones I love maybe they are better off without me.

I am like an earthquake All I do is cause disaster. Poem By Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Heaven Only Knows what's running through your mind

You're a mystery.

It would be easier to jump off the roof and land on my feet like a cat then figure you out

You know I was never the rich kid so I never had the money for mind reading class

I think there's more to you than meets the surface.

People shouldn't judge you because you're a black sheep in a white sheep herd.

They should just learn that you're unique and accept it without questioning it

You are who you are and that's a mystery that I am going to solve. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

You're so narrow-minded it would take a hammer to crack your head open to new possibilities

You think that you're right and everyone else is wrong

And you judge people by their religion and by the color of their skin

You say that believing in God is stupid and only the stupid do it

But you're just so stupid you think you're smart

Your logic is backwards and twist up in thorns

Your definition of love is to preach hate

But god is above your hate and he knows that you are lost but one day you'll find your way back to him and realize how foolish you were.

And he'll start to change you with a bit of love which will open your heart to the world and you will stop spreading the word of hate because you have learned to appreciate the beauty around you. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Constant like the star's in the sky my love for you is never-ending it's always flowing like the Nile into the ocean.

Your soul is turning black like tar.

You've gone too far there're no comebacks now from wherever you Are poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

There's fire in my veins and all I see is red.

The monster inside of me is unlocking its cage it's going to come out and it's got blood on the mind

I need your Love to lift me up from the darkness of my own self-pity.

It's all your fault that I Need You To Survive.

You have become my hero, Warrior and leader of men

No more sorrow will come my way and save your goodbyes for another day we will Survive this and become stronger than we ever knew we could be. Poem By Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

I went up to the bank and pulled out my 45 and ask for all the money.

She said baby doll Why are you doing this?

I got babies at home that need to be fed.

Life ain't free hell it ain't even cheap.


I need the money to help set us free. Again she said baby doll you got bag's under your eyes when was the last time you slept.

And I said I'll sleep when I'm dead because there's no rest for the wicked. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

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

I'm suffering at the hands of a doctor who likes to play God

He thinks everything we do is wrong and everything he does is right.

He thinks we should do it his way or not at all

He told me I should just get over my issues but if it was that easy then I would never had issues in the first

I suffer from PTSD he's the one that told me so.

I have panic attacks and my nerves are always on edge and I am easily angered and I have a hard time sleeping

So I think he needs to check himself and learn to get a better bedside manner or quit and get a job he's actually good at because his attitude is not cool it's just plain rude. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Nothing lasts forever not rain or shine or the darkness of our minds that haunt us every waking hour.

Nothing left but a shell of a human being that is what you left.

One day you walked into my life back then I was like a star I shine so bright.  I was full of life, passion and Endless Love.

But just like a fire you smothered me out until nothing was left but darkness. Poem By Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Some people in this world are Vain and shallow as a puddle.

All they care about is flaunting their feathers like a peacock

Trying to show the world that they are perfect all they care about is their outer beauty and not what's Within

But what's within is more important kindness, love and generosity makes for such a beautiful soul

“So if “you ever doubt yourself remember this it's not what on the outside that matters it's the inside

You can either have a beautiful garden on the inside or be completely rotten the choice is all yours

Please Choose Wisely. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

You and I were once enemies but a greater evil came and tried to destroy us so I offered you an olive branch for a one-time peace agreement.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend

And together we banish the evil and once again became enemies to fight each other another day. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Once upon a time ago a lonely star looked down from the sky and wondered why.

All she saw was Beauty and love everywhere envious of this love and wanting to experience it for herself.

she started to fall but the moon reached out with his arms so bright and pulled her into his loving embrace and then in that instant his love so strong filled the lonely star with his light and she begins to outshine all the stars in the night.

And the night became day and day and night permanently became intertwined in each others arms always dancing to the music of love. Poem By Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

We are creatures of habit we tend to be this way without even realizing it.

Going about our days that seem to go almost the same way Going in circles repeating it

We like to stay in our comfort zone because we're comfortable in our skin that way.

But we should be more outgoing and adventurous because you only get to live once and when your life is over it's gone.

You'll never get it back so step out of your habit and live on the edge because if you're not you're taking up too much space. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

My breathing increases extremely and my chest starts to feel like an elephant sitting on it.

My skin feels like it's inside out and also on too tight.

Every noise is a thousand times louder and a thousand times more irritating

I cannot speak because my mouth cannot form the words I'm getting tongue-tied and angry at myself

I try to stay calm but I cannot do so I am having a panic attack. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

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?

Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

I got this fever down in my soul this party fever and it's driving me insane.

I'm about to go buck wild and party till Dawn.

So I'm going to dance until my heart gives out and drink you under the table.

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

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

Instead of right I go left instead of saying yes I say no

Every choice we make sends ripples in the pond of life.

you might not realize it but little ripples turn big and they shape our future and they shaped our past

They show us many path ways that we can take but it's up to us to choose which one feels right to us because it's our future at steak and no one else should have the right to choose for you.

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
