oh Olivia you look beautiful today
well thats what they say
when my hair is curled or done a certain way
not when its natural or messy
oh how I love your outfit
thats what they claim
when my shirt and pants are uncomfortable
or my shoes pinch my toes
i just wanna be you*
Woah
yeah ok
be the girl who has such low self esteem
that smiles and laughs every day but
cries so hard she screams
who can be afraid of herself and who she truly is
all because she's afraid everyone will leave
if she's anything less
I'm sorry but im tired of lies and confusion.
Stella said," Momma, I want a jump castle for my friends at my birthday, and daddy."
But daddy won't be there
"Momma, I hate court. That judger is a meanie weanie."
I know baby, shhh
"Can I have a jump castle?"
You'll have your castle, now hush
Stella sais," Momma, why don't daddy like me?"
He does baby
"Why won't he look at me?"
I don't know, princess, daddy is sick
"He needs a doctor and a sucker and a shot."
Yes baby, shush
She said,"Momma, why did daddy hurt you, like the tangles hurt my hairs?"
I don't know baby
Girl, here we are
It is simply just us two
Holding each other tight
Underneath the moonlight
Sharing each other's company
As we feel the gentle breeze
You and I shine together
Loving each other deeply forever
i've traveled
across the raging river of murmurs
and through the quiet woods
it's my journey that is important now
this journey is anything but good
this too quiet room in which i sit
has an awfully awkward tension to it
but then I glance across the deadly sea
and spot the careless boy who's just perfect to me
Rise up and earn the victory
Do not ever settle for second best
You have come too far
Always motivated to strive for excellence
Continue to reach for the stars
Put yourself in the position to aspire
Walk along the golden path
Always reach higher
I’d love to sit and watch the flowers grow,
Never wondering where from or when or how.
I’d love to be hugged and to not try,
To work out now exactly why.
I’d love to hear a songbird sing,
Never asking how they took to the wing.
I’d love to read a thousand more books,
And not once be asked how it looks.
I’d love to exist in peace, and dream,
Of pretty things and those less extreme.
I’d love to sleep with a peaceful mind,
Not wondering why moles are blind.
A fairy tale life, never pondering existence.
Is this the price of my intelligence?
Inspired by a group of people I love dearly who have shown me life is not hard, we make it hard by our reactions to things
a poet is a special human being
we share our stories through our pens
our tears, our joy, our fun
we enjoy telling of our dreams
and even wandering through some.

Although some experiences may leave us pretty  weak
we continue on with our strong words
and we carry one another through the
decent storm of letters that's oh so very bleak.
Time hasn't healed me of the pain
I will always remember his name

To feel close to him all I have now are his beautiful words
I imagine him saying them to me in a voice I once heard

He was all that I ever could or did want
Now lost to him my darkened eyes will forever haunt

He is still the music that plays ongoing in my heart
He awoken in me a melody before my love for him did start

I know he is lost to me but I still revisit him in my mind
I relive all the memories of us together all the time

I  try and remember our last conversation our last kiss
then wrap my arms around the air of emptiness

Time hasn't healed me of the pain
I will always remember his name

I guess its fair to say he will always remain my lethal dose
I will be forever chasing his ghost
Reworked older poem
honestly, I've never experienced something that truly belongs in a fairytale..
until now.
romeo was charming the towns girl couldn't deny
if only juliet wasn't in the picture...
that's the day she decided juliet must die.
juliet had it all
beauty, kindness it continues on
that's why it was recognized sad when she took the fall.
she was in love what was she meant to do?
she was tired of crying every night,
i just wanted to be you.
now juliet has gone, or so the towns folk hear
romeo is hers now
so she hadn't shed a tear.
