If I had no flesh Would you take my heart? If your fingers couldn't search my body Would you search my soul? If my lips couldn't reach yours Would my name still be written on your heart? If I had no voice Could you hear me crying out your name?
One Rose-so many meanings Watch the petals fall like time Marking everyday, every hour, every second That draws closer to his future Being written out in permanent ink To forever mark his destiny Unless love can look past his face And rewrite the next chapter in his life The pen called love Yet who is the penholder Her name is Beauty
Why blame Eve for eating the fruit? We all have our temptations that is the truth Everyone's is different and appeals to their own interests It only takes one bite to lead to pain and sickness Each one has its own color and shape Distracts its victim from what's truly at stake Hanging from the tree in all of its glory One wrong choice can change the whole story Smells so good you can almost taste it It's to the point where you can no longer face it Without bringing it up to your lips All the warnings so easily dismissed Please...Take a moment and think It's your soul your deciding to throw away or keep One moment of satisfaction is not worth it There is more to that fruit under the surface Believe my word; don't try to find out And take a bite out of doubt
It was loud So Very Loud The wind pushed me to the ground As it howled like a pack of wolves in the night Ready to hunt and devour its prey It was cold So Very Cold The rain flooding down Sending a chill through my frail skin And straight to my even more fragile heart It was dark So Very Dark So real that I could FEEl it Hovering over me Waiting for me to break But I'm not so easily taken It was terrifying So Very Terrifying The only thing louder than this storm The beating of my heart Like drums of war Pacing themselves Faster And Faster Until ... It stops All coming to a screeching halt Turns out the only thing I feared more than the storm Was complete and numbing silence A ringing in my ears And haze over my eyes Everything is black and white Void of color and sound Im not cold or scared Im not anything at all Is this what it feels like to go numb?
I used to battle depression and at one point went numb. This is how I know how to explain the feeling best. I'm in a much better place now. And I like to let people know that there is hope and a light at the end of the tunnel. Push through and keep fighting <3 and when needed ask for help.
Why do we treat people Like some are worth more than others? How long will it be before we discover That no one is more special than another Everyone has something that is unique to them Tell me when will this prejudice end?
Dear rotting heart... Did you really think sweet perfume could hide where you've been? Or that a veil could possibly shield your sin? Your scars need tending to You were at one point whole But something has happened to it Pierced your soul Is it all that bad to be made new again? Or are there other things you wish to attend? Is it worth it? The end
It used to flow out of me Pouring What seemed to be a never ending abundance of words Each one a window to my fears hopes and dreams My pen would fly through the pages with ease Unfolding all that I carried Deep inside my soul An outlet for the things that were oh so painful But my pen Has seemed to run out of ink Suddenly so hard to clearly think I write I write And I write again I don't even know how to give this poem An end
Run Run But you can't hide From the very thing luring inside Close your eyes But you can still see What is not setting you free Cover your ears But you can still hear The sorrow of your destruction Open our eyes, take a stand Enough of these interruptions
Seasons come and seasons go So do people... Or so I've been told Year after year It's become inevitably clear That this couldn't be more true No longer will I see this as an issue I embrace what comes Or in this instance what leaves I've accepted the facts and made my peace
It comes at a price It comes at a price I say If only someone would just take it from me Even if it was just for a day The weight is too heavy It's pushing me to the ground I feel so small and empty Someone take this crown It's a great thing to have I will not lie But it can be a burden at times To see what it reveals To share or conceal To always see things in a different light To have a different opinion on life
So please ... don't blame yourself And know that it's ok to ask for help Words may leave you feeling wounded That your sad, pathetic, and stupid Take no heed Those degrading thoughts you don't need I know that it hurts coming from the person That you thought you could trust the most But now is not the time to lose your self esteem and hope What they say has more to do with them Then it ever had to do with you Making you feel like a failure no matter what you say or do Do not...I repeat...Do not Let someone else's insecurities and issues Run your esteem into the ground Let you fall and stay down You're worth more than you know Time to get up and reach your full potential Now go!
I like to imagine a world Where flying is no problem And I can dance across the sky Where my possibilities come alive Where I can speak to all living things And everything is more than it seems Where music is constantly in the air And everyone goes about life without a care
I don’t seem to have the words anymore Maybe my tears can replace the ink But tears don’t create sentences Is it really only by words that we speak? Have you ever looked into someone’s eyes And known exactly what was going on through their mind? If One can’t be heard Then maybe they can be seen I feel like I’m mourning A piece of me So can my tears replace the ink? Or perhaps my blood? But what will I use Once those are done?
They say that Faith Is taking the first step Even when you can't see the rest Of that staircase Faith is when you believe Even when you can't see Its when you do Even though its not yet proven true Its standing high and strong When your legs don't have the strength at all Faith is the substance of things hoped for The evidence of things unseen Its the reason that I am redeemed
Today... A Soul has died yet another is born For every end a beginning is ready to soar A season comes and fades away Another springs forth to take the day Somewhere out there someone is breathing their last And another has not yet known a past
Staring Down Squinting my eyes Trying so desperately to see outside So many colors fading into shades of grey I can no longer determine the time of day Am I doomed to reality only being a guess I need to know! No longer feel depressed I pick up a hammer and shatter the glass The glass that represented my past The past that wanted to blur out my future
With the heart of a mermaid And love for the sea I was created to explore... The depths of life and meaning The depths of identity And of the soul So I dive Unaware of what I'm searching for And yet so ready to find it
Counting down the hours Till I can see your face again This love I have for you is strong The mind could hardly comprehend I must say I’m not a fan Of the time we spend apart Beloved you constantly consume My thoughts and my heart I belong to my Beloved And he belongs to me I could gaze into your eyes Infinitely Not just because of their beauty Which cannot be matched Except by your soul Which to mine is attached
One fear-that ruled her life That caused her to be isolated and out of sight To bring harm to the ones she loved To never reverse what she has done The one thing made her unique Caused pain in her heart so deep Not being able to except who she is Or allow anyone to come in In protecting family She gained understanding That love is the key to a frozen heart
Three Years... It's been three years Since Ive seen your face I hardly think of you now But every so often When your name Is found in my thoughts I miss you And I have a question for you I was too afraid to ask before But something shifted As the days turned into weeks And the months turned into years And I wonder Who this person is that I am going to meet When our paths cross again Time changes a person But I hope we still share some things That will connect us again And if not At least we have the memory
The wind dances through the sky You can see it through the leaves It never truly dies Just silent for a minute or three As powerful as a storm As soft as a cloud It roars and it howls Have you ever heard such a beautiful sound?
What is my dream? Quite frankly I don’t know any more As I watch logic and reason close that door Dreams that were once so real Someone had the nerve to come in and steal Imagination and hope as vibrant as the day Start to fade into shades of grey The roses are dying I can hear them crying I have changed my definition of beauty
Why blame the storm that brings life? The moon and stars give off their light Beautiful or boring? Depends, on which window its seen through On what one seems to be true
One bite-that's all it took To fall into an eternal sleep To pass into a dream so deep For the revenge to fully take place Through the apple she so desperately ate In hope to have a wish come true But there was only so much she could do But in the end there was still A happily ever after
This is the first of a new series of poems I'm doing :) This one is snow white
Fear is a choice the absence of trust But having faith In another is a must Are you really protected All on your own Or are you not able to see Through your heart of stone You long for it But you ask yourself How can one desire The very thing they fear That's actually quite a common thing dear But you have to choose To no longer hide To finally show what is inside Of you
Behind every pretty word Was a secret motive Until that motive wasn't so secret anymore All these mind games left me confused and unsure I tried to play the game to the best of my ability Until it came at the cost of my peace and tranquility
A door with the face of gold Covered with priceless jewels Opened to discover the paradise Ive been told Turned out to be a lie to lead me to my doom Everything with the definition of beauty is fading The ground giving out from under my feet The things I love I find myself hating This cannot be my defeat The fabric of reality is being torn The definition of life is meaningless I should of never opened that door My vision blurred from all the mist Another door I hardly gave a glance Began to call my name with the faintest voice I told myself I'm done with this dance He said it was my choice I gave the door a knock It flew open wide in shock I realized it was my turn to die And in doing so I live Not my life but His I have found reality The void in my heart filled With peace I am still
Do you see me? Or do you see what I can do for you? Do you see me? Or do you only see what I'm capable of? Do you see me? Or do you see a set of values different from your own? Do you see me? Or do you see someone you want to cry to and never want to share a laugh with? Do you see me? Or do you see a pretty face and body you want to **** with? Do you see me? Or do you see the offensive language I just used? Do you see me? Or do you see who I used to be? Do you see me? Or do you see who you want me to be? Do you see me?
Come and have a seat There's plenty to eat and drink The table set with only the finest the tea reaching our heads like a virus
Welcome to the Toxic Tea Party Where sanity exists hardly Every guest here has a story Some sad, pathetic and gory Many of them told to put it away To live everyday the same But here you can be anything you want The acting can finally stop
So pull out a chair and your story we'll hear You'll find that you're not alone my dear
Have a scone and a sip of our tea And slowly lose your grip on reality
Just when I pulled the pieces together Best I could You came in and pulled the string I should of understood That to trust is never worth the pain There seems to be more to lose Then there is to gain Grabbing my needle and thread What is the use? I should just lock it up instead Hide the key and keep it safe Like I should of done in the first place
One chance That's all she had To get a single kiss from a young lad Before her life came to an end And she no longer had to play pretend To be something that she is not On chance That's all she's got
Could someone show me Where the Rose Garden lies? The one that holds such beauty Never before met by the eye Many flowers that are being sold Whether they came from the garden Is Unknown Approached by someone With a stem in hand Took me a minute to understand “This Rose is yours” They said “And your body I’ll take” Only to find out What was offered was a fake Made to look real With an agenda To steal
From me
Crossed paths with another One who promised the title of a lover But their rose came with thorns And now there’s blood on the floor
Could someone show me Where the Rose Garden lies? It feels as though I’ve been searching For a long time
Love...What is love? Is it at first sight? Does it take time? Is it the butterflies in your stomach? Is it magical? Is it heartache? Is it hard? Is it easy? Unpredictable? Or is it sacrifice?
What is this inside that I feel? A love that cannot be tamed. A love that has raptured my heart A love that has been there from the start A love so beautiful and pure A love that is so real and sure A love that bring me confidence in who I am I love that makes me understand That Gods love is so real
Oh to be in love with an illusion Rather than be faced with reality To be unaware That the one who occupies my thoughts And holds my heart Is a character As fictional as the ones I read about To desire something so strongly That I drink from an empty cup And tell myself that it’s water To be infatuated Rather than in love A tragedy indeed...
I see the storm that rages inside of you I see it in the rain that falls from your eyes That your so quick to wipe away and hide I see it in the sudden changes of mood I hear it in the tone that you use I know because I’ve had the same storm rage inside of me too
Flipping through the pages Of this book Wishing I could rewrite some of the chapters That have unfortunately been written in permanent ink Some of these things are hard to read Hard to speak There’s more to this story Than the cover cares to share
Editing is not an option New chapters need to be written But it appears I have writer's block
Don't know how to continue this story Don't know how to move on I'm unsure and I'm sorry But it appears I have writer's block
There's so many directions That this story can take I can't seem to think of a single one Should be easy to make But it appears I have writer's block
What is reality? Just because you choose it to be Doesn't mean it is Just because you wish it to be Doesn't mean it's true Just because you believe Doesn't make it real Yet the same thing could be said The other way around Just because you choose it NOT to be Doesn't mean it is not Just because you DON'T wish it Doesn't mean it's not true Just because you DON'T believe Doesn't mean it's not real What is reality?
I know for sure one thing is real and that's my God. #reality #life
Hello Stranger How was your day? Do you want to play a game? Oh that’s right we’ve met before Hello Stranger Can you do me a favor? Wait... nevermind We’ve met before Hello Stranger You seem familiar It’s oddly peculiar Could it be... We’ve met before Hello Stranger I guess I’ll let you go As if we’ve never met before
Bridge of auburn and crimson Reaching ever so high and long In the middle I stand Both in fear and in awe Wind blowing profusely With a loud howl it cries Beckoning me to make a decision To step and choose a side
