Yin & Yang
Barbara Gordan Apr 2015
Opposites attract
so much alike
yet so different
Sun and Rain
Light and Dark
Water and Fire
You and Me
Love and Hate
Aggressive and Passionate
Winter
so dangerous
so bold
so cold
Summer
so lively
the beauty to behold
Differences are good yet dangerous
Peace is needed
War we find
Time to leave the past behind
future as bright and dark as we make it
we know little but assume so much
opposites help
opposites are needed
without evil
we know no good
every action as an equal reaction
without loss
we know no love
we can not love others
unless we learn to love ourselves
black and white
Yin and Yang
Fear and Hope

Hurt
Barbara Gordan Apr 2015
Isn't it funny
People can be cruel
But its when you react
That start calling names
People say to ignore them
Names hurt just as bad as a broken arm
And worse.
Being called a monster
Being called a freak
Being called ******, skanks, loser
It hurts.
Everyone has a demon and angel
Some worse then others.
People have problems that cant be fixed be telling them to get over it.
Telling people to stay away to each other doesn't work
It takes action.
Action won't happen unless you do something.
Make the world brighter
Not darker.

School
Barbara Gordan Sep 2015
Another year
We supply our students
We supply our teacher
Depression, Anxiety, and excitement hangs in the air
Nine weeks in
Enemies are made
Friends are lost
Work is lacking
Papers are missing
Grades are failing
Help is needed
Teachers ask questions
_________
End is near
Grades have been raised
Passing
I made it
Next year i'm free
No more supplies
No more pressure
No more grades to define how good I am

Complicated
Barbara Gordan Apr 2015
How dare you
you ask of me what you cant provide
complain you have no time
I do most and still nothing
treat me like crap
what I do you don't see
Yet you see all my mistakes
I call you out on yours
I get punished
I'm tired of being worthless
I'm tired of crying
I need a break
one you seem to always have
Life is chaos
Life lived in pain is not a life to live
happiness is key
the happiest people don't always have the best of everything
they make the most of everything they have
respect me and respect will be given

Snake
Barbara Gordan Mar 2015
Your words are tricky
Your tongue flicking
Lies through your teeth
You’re a deceiver
Tall tales that only I can see
Your trust is lacking
In one move you can strike fear in my heart
The few I fear
You are one
With the face red as a fire you snap
Calm as a hurricane
No warning
Feast on your pray
I’ll be there to catch you in your ways
Then release you for another day
I shouldn't let you loose
Then the fear grows stronger
I fear there’s I nothing can do
The creature so evil

Hurricane
Barbara Gordan Mar 2015
The fresh clean air
The damp grass, how lovely
Wind dies along with depression of the roaring clouds
The crashing has stopped
≈Total silence≈
The flashes stop
When I go outside
As I look around
I realize I’m trapped within huge gray walls

What feels like hours of waiting,
Crash, Bang, Howl
I see nothing from my window
Except darkness
I open my window
I feel rain, snow, hail, and wind
I run to the second floor
More crashing, more flashing


After what I believe to be a life time
It all goes quiet
Clear blue skies
A cool breeze
Crystal blue green waters
Destroyed homes
Ambulances
Police
Fire

I look towards heaven
A double rainbow
A sign of promise
I’m going to be okay
Until the next one

No More
Barbara Gordan May 2015
The feeling you get when someones doomed
The feeling you get when your doomed
The feeling of dooming someone else
Hurting the ones you love
Hurting with out knowing
Pain without knowledge
Love without a heart
Faith without a spirit
Something you've never felt
NUMB
no more pain
no more happiness
no more anger
only depression
no more likes
no more agreeing
no more Light
only darkness
no more sun
no more LOVE

My World
Barbara Gordan Mar 2015
Black as night
Empty as space
No one for miles
An empty house
One ray of light
The sound is dead
The little flame is almost gone
To keep it alive
A fire must start
Deep in the depths
Of the cold damp heart
Tired is she for her heart it longs
To find the place she belongs
There is little hope
Less time
Then she cries to sleep every other night
Feeling worthless she remains STRONG
For her fight all day long
Bullies who bully
Parents who judge
She fears there’s no one to love
But one little spark remains in her heart
Along with the mind that’s tearing her apart
Mind set to fear heart to loyalty
There is no one near but the one she held dear
He is gone in the past
For she must release
The thought that troubles her deep
Writes poems and songs to keep her sane
She’s emotionally unstable
She has wars with her self
She views herself worthless
The only few she believes are near and far
Chris in heaven
Mother afar
Couple of teachers maybe two or three
She fears herself whom she thinks she is lonely
She prefers the cold
Loves the dark
But longs for the fire that will never start

Tired
Barbara Gordan Mar 2015
I’m tired of crying
I’m tired of yelling
I’m tired of being afraid
I’m tired of being alone
I’m tired of failing
I’m tired of losing
I’m tired of feeling
Most of all I’m tired with dealing
I’m tired of nightmares
I’m tired of not being loved
I’m tired of anger
All I feel is depressed
All I feel is anger
All I feel is numb
All I feel is hate
I’m tired of being hurt
I’m tired of being tired

Hope
Barbara Gordan Apr 2015
pith black darkness
dark blue flame
hope that's not there

yet you try, and try
end up in tears
burst out crying
then you end up lying
saying your fine
trying to save time for someone you love
wasting my time caring for them
for them never to return the love
my hope is draining
a never ending hole
falling forever
cry every night
for someone to help
picking yourself up
dusting yourself off
hope that tomorrows better
knowing you've hit rock bottom
expecting it to get worse
shower turns to hurricane

Cold
Barbara Gordan Apr 2015
skin pale as snow
eyes frosted over
lost in a dream
undisturbed by time
peacefully resting
Dressed in black
a single tear rushed to the eye
minutes turn to years
pain lingers
There to stay is a dark spot in ones heart
filled by loss
yearning for your return
perhaps someday
we meet again

— The End —
