Good Friday
Caitlin Apr 2015
What's so good about it?
More than two thousand years ago,
Today was the day that an innocent man was crucified.
Jesus Christ,
The Savior of the world.
He was crucified,
How was this "Good"?
He was perfect, The Son of God.
Prince of Peace, The right hand of God.
How can Jesus being crucified, be "Good"?
I'll tell you why,
He came to die for our sins, he was the purest sacrifice.
And without Him, we would never be able to pay for our sins; resulting with forever death.
Without Him, we would never reach God, for there would always be a gap between us- Sin.
That is why it is Good Friday,
Because Jesus knew the price he would have to pay, in order for the rest of us to live, He must die,
Happy Good Friday!

Singing
Caitlin Feb 2014
I love to sing
And that's not a bad thing because
I have my mothers voice
I live because of singing
I have had moments in my life
When all I  couldn't function
Without music ringing from my throat
Many people have told me that I sing well
And I take it to heart
I enjoy bring people pleasure
Though my music

Letting You In
Caitlin Apr 2016
I've already let you in.
It's been done.
No going back.
But;
You've hurt me.
Just a little.
But that's all it takes.
A tiny crack,
Then it gets bigger and bigger and bigger.

Stop it before it gets to bad ok?
I'm TRUSTING you.
Please.
I DON'T want to be hurt.

Caitlin Jun 2014
I didn't hate you.
I didn't agree with you on everything, however.
I wish that I had spoken up.
I hope that you are living a good life.
I wish that we were closer friends instead of enemies.
I wish you gave me a second chance.
I wish that you encouraged me more.
I wish that you at least told me something more than the one worded answers to all of my questions.
I wish……

The End
Caitlin Jan 2014
The end is always tougher than anyone thinks
It often takes longer than you think to get over

And the memories are always there
At night,  in those moments before sleep
In every rehearsal, when you can't look to your left and ask for help.
When you realize your on your own
When you feel yourself falling apart

That is the ending of one story
And the beginning of another

Home
Caitlin Nov 2016
It's been so long since I've been home,
I can't wait to go back.
College is great, but there is something about home;
That keeps calling me back.

Pain
Caitlin May 2016
I don't want to get hurt again.
I don't want to be hurt.
It's a feeling of emptiness.
It's a waiting game.
I hate it.
You started our conversations,
But now I seem to be more invested in them.
I'm the one catching feelings,
And what's even worse,
You don't even know.

To Fall In Love With A Poet
Caitlin Jan 2015
It's actually not hard to do.
You grin at the way her hands are shaking to get tot a pen and paper.
You think is adorable how she only uses one certain type of pen, and only pen- no pencil for this writer.
You hate to see her at a loss for words because she always has words, even when everything else fails her.
You want to be the only one to leave her speechless
and the only one to make her write like mad.
You stick around long enough and you notice that she writes in the same pen that she uses to write poem, she uses to write on herself, different word and phrases she wants to remember.
You love the way her eyes light up when she comes up with the perfect ten words to describe something.
You think that she is the one who dreams and writes all that she remembers.

A warning for you, if you do fall in love wit a poet,
Remember that she is human, just like you.
Remember that she is writing for a reason.
Remember that if you break her heart,
You could, possibly break the very part of her that writes and it could Be days or weeks or months before she starts to write again.
And she will write only love and heartbreak poems,
Not the ones you remember about the trees or clouds or how your eyes get a gleam in them when you smile.

Just don't break her heart.
322 · Nov 2015
What do I do?
Caitlin Nov 2015
I've been talking to you for a while now...
You seemed interested.. But at the same time not.
I thought you knew I liked you.
I guess not.
Because now you have a girl.
And it's not me.
Oops.
I guess I should get over these feelings then.
Sorry.
I'll stop.

I haven't written anything it seems in  years,
No thoughts or ideas have popped into my mind.
I have a blank slate of a brain....

Words
Caitlin Jun 2014
There is so much to say
That I'll never be able to get past my lips

There is so much in my heart
That I wish you knew

There is so much
That I feel I will break if I don't let it out somehow.

Grain of sand (JoeCole)
Caitlin Sep 2014
If I had a grain of sand
For every time I thought of you,
I'd fill up the beaches of Flordia.

If I had a grain of sand,
For every time I wanted to speak to you,
I'd have an entire continent.

If I had one for every time,
Something reminded me of you,
I have to find a new planet to keep sand on.

If I had a grain of sand....

So Today I Told You..
Caitlin Jan 2015
So you know the poem that I wrote, Goodbyes?
Well the guy that I was talking about falling for..
I showed him the poem..

He didn't really react..
I don't think he got it that I was starting to like him.....

I can.
Caitlin Nov 2016
I can tell you how beautiful my roommates look when they don't even try.
I can tell you all the colors of the sunset and how tragically beautiful the bare trees look.
I can tell you how silky his voice is to my ears,
I can show you the best things in music and nature.
I can show you all the amazing parts of people's souls.
But what I can't do, is tell you of the scars that I have.
I can't tell every story of how I got each blemish on my skin.
I can't tell you what I love most about myself, but I could tell you everything I hate about myself.
I can't look at myself in the mirror for more than 2 seconds.
I don't see all those beautiful things in myself.
I just can't.
312 · Aug 2015
No.
Caitlin Aug 2015
No.
I will not cry.
I will not cry.
I will not let my emotions get the best of me.
Not again.

Why does everything seem to happen right at the beginning of something?
Although I suppose that you cant have a beginning of a book, without something happening, or at the beginning of a new chapter.
I just wish sometimes things would slow down, or just stop all together.
Second semester hasn't really even started and I've already had my absolute worst day ever..
But things are semi looking up, I think.

Pain
Caitlin Sep 2015
Is this truly what pain feels like?
I don't need a razor,
You are the blade against my skin.
I don't need a savior,
I'm too far in this hell hole that I created,
I don't need advice,
I know what I'm doing, most of the time.
I don't need this pain,
You're my pain.
I never asked for this.
Is this what true pain feels like?
An already broken heart,
Being shattered again?
And again?
A world that I've worked so hard to bulid around me?
Coming down in pieces?
My walls, in parts and torn,
Being crumbled to dust?
Is this what pain is??

New year
Caitlin Jan 2016
As I enter into 2016, I find myself wondering.
Where will this year take me?
Where will I be lead to go?
For college? For life?
And as I'm wondering I can't help but smile,
Because the future is full of mysteries;
But I'm talking it one day at a time.
303 · Apr 2016
Talking..
Caitlin Apr 2016
Everyday, for a long time.
Good mornings and goodnights.
Time zones and distance.
Terrible connection and difficult schedules.

Haven't talked in two days,
Feel like I lost a part of my soul.
Especially when I need you the most.
I need you...

Caitlin Dec 2014
There are many gifts wrapped
underneath my tree this year.
Many of them, are either for me,
Or from me.
But this Christmas, and every other Christmas,
Is more than just gifts and tress
Stockings and lights.
It's more than just Christmas lists
And Christmas dinner.

It's family and joy,
Hugs and kisses,
Love and kindness,
It's the birth of a savior,
The  light of the world.

Merry Christmas!!
I hope it's a good one!

Because
Caitlin Jul 2014
Because I am lonely, it means hiding certain things

Because I am kind, it means putting my own problems away

Because I am caring, it means not letting go- no matter  what

Because sometimes I can be mad, it means having a laughter break

Because I can be sad, it means I search for a shoulder to cry on

Because of being in love, it may mean that that I focus on the good and not the bad

Because I may be crazy, it means having people love me for the way I am.

Because I am me

You..
Caitlin Aug 2014
I see you in my dreams
You haunt me every waking moment

I imagine what you'd say if you were here
That we'd laugh about the same things

Make jokes like we used to
Get nothing accomplished like we used to

I imagine you walking in the door
And th  butterflies that erupt in my stomach

Every feeling that we ever encountered
Every advice you ever gave

Oh, how I wish you were here.
My muse

Set me free?
What if I long for freedom,
Yet and comfortable where I am?
In this prison of mine,
That I created?

Set me free?
I'm more dangerous out there than I am in here.
I'm dangerous to myself.
Can't you see?

You can't set me free.
My prison is myself.
I'm locked in with myself.
Set me free?

Do you know how to set me free?

Sixteen
Caitlin Jun 2015
Only two more days until my time of being 16 years old comes to an end.
I've learned, lived and loved this past year.
I'd like to share some of what I've learned and lived.
1. Never be afraid to take solos, or fight for them.
2. Always remember to have fun, especially in a social setting.
3. Never drink diet soda with mint gum in your mouth.
4. Remember that home is where your heart is, whether if its a house or not.
5. Always sing like you mean it.
6. Never be afraid of your talent.
7. Friends will come and go, learn to move on.
8. Don't go looking for fights- in fact, steer clear of them.
9. Always tell the truth, no matter how harsh, they will thank you later.
10.Family isn't always blood relatives.
11. The people who can hear you when you are silent, truly care for you.
12. Love, endlessly. beautifully, wonderfully.
13. Faith and Grace are two wonderful things.
14. Remember to always love yourself too
15. God will only put you through the fire, to make you a diamond when you come out.
16. Music is the thing that connects generations, countries and language barriers- Give it respect.

Thanks.

I Lo....
Caitlin Jan 2019
There are words I want to say
But I don’t want to scare you away.
We’ve known each other forever
I don’t want to lose you, No never
Even though we are just friends
Three words can change us dramatically
It’s funny, because I use those word with my other friends, but with you it’s different.
Should I take a chance?
G-  it’s true, I do. Maybe you’ll see this soon. Maybe not. But I love you. 1/17/2019
