Many people go through life without a care or
Even realize what they are doing...like they’re on

Auto-pilot or something..
Going places, but not really knowing how they ended up there.
And now with nothing to do, even more people driving,
In the middle of the
Night with nowhere to be--just to get out of the house.
So someone-anyone-listen, wake up; we’re gonna get
Through

This together! We will!
Here and now, it’s not over yet, but
Each day is a new chance and new hope!

When this is all
Over--Before this is all over-we need to stop with the
Racism, hate, politics, and whatever else; stop tearing us apart--spread
Love instead-
Don’t you see “they” want us to preach hate to divide us..
Nina McNally Jan 2011
Memories come and go and
Everyday my love for you grows
May our love stay strong through thick and thin.
On to today; a new day with new
Riches; friends, people, love, music.
In every way enjoy life,
Enjoy this world and the people who
S**urround you, they are worth more than money.

you turn on the news,
it says: "teenage girl; dead"
it was no game
it was ******
there's no body (yet)
and only few clues
who ever did it
knew what to do
and live like it
never happen
IT WAS ******
she was just walking,
walking home from school
when he spotted her
it was ******
she will never see her
family on Earth--only
from her heaven
it was ******
it will never be the same
because...
**it was ******.

I wrote this after I read The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold, I love the book. It was also my first attempt at a song style poem.
Nina McNally Jan 2011
How can it be that when
I listen to the 4 boys
from Chicago, all my
problems float away?
Just laying there doll-like
with the music "pumping through my
bedroom speakers" I love how
I sing along to the songs.
I love how Patrick's voice
puts me to sleep
and when I get "brain cramps"
and can't write at all, all I
need to do is put in a cd
and within a few weeks
I can write, of course
it's gonna be about
the 4 boys for a while.

wrote this to show my love to Fall Out Boy and how they help me throughout my high school career and even to this day. They may be on break but they are still my biggest influence.
P.S. back them "brain cramps" was writer's block. Did not really call myself a writer at this stage.

In this Nightmare where Today Feels Like Lies, I see Joe Jonas and he tells me, it's Time to Dance.
And Oh look, there's Peter! Pete tells me, that Music is Life! But I already knew this.
And there's Jimmy Sullivan--The Rev tells me, Don't Jump. I won't. I don't want to be Buried Alive. ----

Music is...
                   Energy for my soul.
                   Peacefulness when I need to calm down.
                   And medicine when I can't take it anymore.

So you see I need music, like normal people need friends and family.

Music is Life! It really is!
Music is the one topic you can talk to
anyone and no one gets upset#.
Music is universal.
Everyone understands music!
Music makes the world go around,
love is second and money is third!
They help the world spin.



#-I use that word very loosely,
mostly meaning *******.
NinaAbby; response to my "JOSEPH ADAM JONAS" piece.
written because Music is life. Period.
No one can take it away from you.
And it will never leave you, you may leave it,
but I don't know why you would do that.
Hope you enjoy it and understand it, agree with me.
Keep on playing your music! <3

I write this because you have change my life
You came into my life just as I needed someone to talk to too
And now you are sick.
You are the greatest thing in my life and
No matter what I will remember you always!
As I write this I listen to you sleep and listen to your sisters
sleep and wonder around and eat.
If only you can come back and feel better, tomorrow.
As I write this, I am crying because I can't let go of you.
You're my baby and you help me though so much, you and your sisters.
I love you my dear Patrick!
You are more than my pet ferret, you are my friend!
No matter what happens you will always be with me.
And if you do go to that special place, Please tell Leroy I say "Hi" and how I miss him.
Until the day we part I am praying and hoping you will get better
So you don't have to leave me this soon.
I love you baby boy! I am so glad you came into my life.
Wrote this for my ferret, Patrick. He is very sick lately
and I hope he gets better, but I don't know if he's gonna make it.
But I will pray and pray and hope for the best.

Dear Alice,
I'm *writing
this letter to say, please help us. We grow mad each day. Please come back, life is not the same without you.
Please bring baby ravens with you. People forgot how to write here in Underland, it's quite sad, really. I'll be waiting at my desk drinking tea with Hare and Doormouse. Please don't tell me you're not coming... we sent White Rabbit to get you. It took him a lot of time---time, what is time?
.......
Just like a raven we want to live and be free again. Boy, the *people
down here are crazy. But all the best people are. One of my dear friends told me that. :) I hope to see you soon, Alice. ****** Big Head is locked away!
Love, Hatter

P.S. Send some cake.

May I begin to say, "Now I lay me down to sleep,"                     as
You just stand there staring blankly, "I pray the Lord my

Soul to keep,"                      and as I chant these words
Out of these painful lips.                      You begin to
Understand this silence, and pain.                   And
Longing to find any truth left in this trouble world.         You join me with

Trying to figure
Out why people are always running. Running to nowhere-land.            STOP!

Take a breath.             Take a moment for yourself.
And "if I die before I wake"...                I will
Keep this positive mind, because In. The.
End; Positive thoughts will conquer all! And ..."I pray the Lord my SOUL to take."

My eyes are weary,

How can I stop these tears,

Only faith knows when we'll talk again.
So let's dance tonight and live like there's no tomorrow.

Now is the time to do something,
And now is the time to stand for something. I never
Knew I would be here, where
Everything is on the line and with each
Day I get closer to the edge.

Are some people afraid of change?

Nothing can come between us; just give us a chance.
Every day, I wonder did I make the right choice? And
Every day I will win some and lose some.
Don't give up when you lose, take it with

You and use it as fuel to fight back and win.
Others will lose and win some, as well; it's a part of life. To
Understand the true meaning is impossible, but I say

Nothing's impossible when you put your mind to it.
Others will say to you, you can't, but you can,
W**hen you put your mind to it--it's Mind Over Matter.

Nina McNally Dec 2021
Now here in the middle of the night when
Everyone is getting ready for bed, I lay
Under the stars thinking about life.
Right here in this moment I feel alive and
Only here can I say go
Do what you love! Be you cause No one does
It better! In this
Very moment as
Everyone else is sleeping, I lay here
Resting and thinking “What's Next?”
So I’m going to go live my life to the fullest!
I’m going to spread kindness and love
To everyone I meet because
You are Beautiful and Worth it!

Is this a dream
Or a nightmare?
it doesn't feel real, anymore.
There's too much PAIN and CONFUSING
in this real life then they promised me
when I was younger........
They told me I would have a fairy tale ending but
I don't see no fairy tale here...
They lied. I wish I had someone to tell me
not to grow up, like I do to the younger kids I meet.
Oh, how I would take to being 8 again
and not caring where or when my next meal
will be or health care.
Oh the joys of childhood
THAT I MISS.

No where to go. Lost in this
Open field, of life, and it's just me.    Here.                    Alone.
Been searching for that place to call home.
Only, what is  home?
Don't give up!
You can do it. Just believe in yourself! You got the
Strength to go on.

Home is where the heart is--that's home.
Open and free, loving and caring. No
Matter where the road takes you; Remember
E**veryone will struggle in life and we will all get through it.

Now here we are, what have we become?

Very messy now, and people not caring. What happen here?
Our world needs our help! What happen to this
Culture? We were suppose to be the dreamers
And  the creators, but wait!! It's not too late.
If* we start now, we could still save our world and maybe the
Next generation can do better; *learn from our mistakes.

Everyone: We're all in this together!!

*Together we can change our future!

Others try and fail
But do you have what it takes?
Life is too short to complain,
It's too short to be negative, and
Too short to not show compassion.
Everybody deserves a chance for a little
Respect until proven otherwise. We are
All in this world
Together-- weather we like it or not.
Everybody will have a different opinion than you- No need to argue about it.

My dear friend, Mercutio
Please understand what I say
About my dear love, Juliet, through and through
Who I’d married one day

She is so lovely and kind
Her eyes are so beautiful, they shine in the moon light
And the best part is, she is so fine
I love her so, she is such a delight

My love for her
Is like a hundred thousands flowers
Which smells so pretty, like her wrapped in fur
This might sound funny, but she holds the power

**Love can be so cruel
So you just can’t be a fool!

Her eyes are so beautiful, they shine in the moon light
And the best part is, she is so fine
I love her so, she is such a delight

Which smells so pretty, like her wrapped in fur
This might sound funny, but she holds the power

One day, we're gonna look back on this and say
Now why did we act like that? Why did we treat
Each other so poorly?


For now we see we acted like idiots
Only caring about ourselves and not each other...Forgetting our
Rights as Humans--- the most basic right---

And it's one we all share, we are all human,
Looking for kindness and peace. Be Kind and
Love one another! <3

Only time will tell
For you and me;
And I don't want to sit here and say "Oh, Well,"
So let's show them what we can be.

For some, true love is easy to find,
While for others, have to work to find love;
So tell me, will you fight for us, this time,
Or will you let it remain unsolved?

Time and time again
I find myself getting lost within,
But when I'm with you, I feel no pain
And I just want this to begin.

So in time,
Will you be mine?

One day soon this world will
Realize that it's not worth
Dying because people don't agree.....
It doesn't matter if someone or
No one agrees with you, really it doesn't.
And having a different opinion
Really truly is what makes us unique.
Yeserday is the past and

Let's learn from
It, not repeat the same mistakes!
For centuries, we've been repeating history;
Each day that goe by is a new chance for a new beginning.

On this wonderful night, watching TV
Under the stars, and laying with my baby, I
Think about my life and how wonderful it is

Only right now I am in between jobs, but I know something will come and
Now more than ever I know I am with

The right guy! He is the one I will spend the rest of my life with.
He's the one that I will marry one day!
Everyday that I wake up next to him is

The most wonderful thing in the world.
Only now we lay in bed, me-
Writing, and him- playing a game. But someday in the
Near future we will be Mr. and Mrs. Flanders! ❤
Writing for the love of my life!

Under the old Cork Tree far off in Wonderland on
An Island working in my Lab.                 Being
Random is great because when I say something
And it's out of context, it's funny---if you say it right.

Running in the middle of the night,

And in the rain with all the pain; just to get to you,
Annie, you are the one I've been looking for.

Nothing will come between us, Annie, I will protect you. You are my
Girl and I will let nothing hurt you.
You, you are safe forever. I love you, Annie.

As
You can see,

All I wanted was you, and
Now I got nothing.             And
Yet I have everything.          It's the little
Things in life that matter.
However, being with you was the greatest moment
In my life, but I will find someone who means so much more.
Now; I will just sit here and watch the sun as it
Goes down, only to wait until it raises to greet a new day*.

So, here I am free and with
Each new day without you I grow stronger.
Can you believe that it's been a year,         since you left me standing...
Only that doesn't matter.                            I don't care you're
No one important to me anymore, but                                      just a ~friend~.
Don't you see I always loved (and still love) you; always will.

Change happens and we have to move on.
Having the time of my life and                                        enjoying being free!
And I hope whatever you're doing,                   you're happy too.

Changed! I am ready to find my Second Chance.

Sometimes in this world,

How far down you are tomorrow's on your side"
It's gonna work out even when
The whole world is
Spitting it back in your face and feels like there's no

Guarantee-- it's gonna be just fine!
One day you're gonna get everything you've worked hard for.
Now just breathe and move through this moment
No one can tell you how to live your life
And no one can

Be a better you than you.
Each day is a new chance to try again. It's

Okay to not be okay sometimes! I'm here with
Kindness and love for the both of us!

Each breath I breathe,                                           I wouldn't change a thing.
