I don't like this reality I live in
I do not like it with its "Fox News"
I do not like it with any false facts

I do not like this President Obama
I do not like his ad campaign
I dislike having my rights revoked

He does not care
here or there
I don't think he cares anywhere!

I want my rights
right here
and right now!

I do not like Obama's Change
I do not like this Uncle Sam!

I do not like the rules or ways
Look out world here I come
with diversity and wayward thinking
This is my flag
these are my new ways

If I don't like the change in the world
then I will be the change that I want to see
so let me be
Let me live
in the land that was once free
Obama can keep his change
I can provide my own

How do I say
that I am sorry
For the words
that I've said

It's such a far away dream

It seems like just yesterday
we were
hugging
kissing
and cuddling
under the mistletoe

Now I just don't know
It seems so far away,
like an old forgotten dream.

We were close
you and I
Now we past by like strangers
in the wind

I look up at you
you stare back at me
We both remember
the old forgotten dream....
     We both once shared....

both shared this...
Dream

I forgot the lyrics
I forgot the melody
to the song called love

Sing me the song
old lover
sing me the song
old friend
How did they drown
that night?

the two lost lovers
did drown at midnight.
They drowned in the middle of the night.
they fought for love
they fought for life eternal.
true love brought them together that night
they took each others hand, said lets go skinny dippin
for the very last time.

See they were rebels,
they were fighters
who wanted for their love.
And they got caught,
skinny dippin at night
they held each others hands tight
and Never let go...

You see I forgot the tale
of the two dead lovers
that were starry eyed
Held fate in their hands
and decided to swim for love.
Yet they both drowned
holding each others hand.

Lets remember not to fight
lets remember not to love
for the two dead lovers
did sadly drown
at night

I want to live
not for you,
or anyone else
I am greedy
I am selfish
lets forget how
to love and never look back
at the two lovers
who did drown

I used to believe
in the land of liberty
and the land of the free

There once was a place
where there were no laws
for none were needed
in this magical place
called America

Where English was spoken
there was no "dial one"
Where God ruled the land
with his firm hand

Where people trusted each other
where did this land go?
Where did the people go?

Where are my brothers in arms
that fought beside me in 'nam

We worked at the barns
and we worked with the cattle
We stayed up from dawn til dusk

The cowboys who used to roam
now sad and alone
do they sit

Singing to the blue corn moon
Telling tales of days now old

This country now gone
and wasted

Corporations outgrew the family farm
Greed overtook love
and the country that used to have
morals
freedom
liberty
justice
now all corrupt

due to
Televisions
wealth
cellphones
laptops
random things
we really don't need

over took my land of liberty
This is a song of sorrow
lost love
and how one nation under GOD
is now a nation *without

Each person still free
to be the person they want to be
To fly and to grow
to flourish and to learn

For this is ideal
this is perfection

Within a relationship
one hides the skeletons
puts on a show

Yet when the truth is revealed
will you hide?
...From me?

Each night I lie awake
thinking
pondering
hoping
that someday
I can show you
Myself

Unapologetic
This is who I am
I am no longer ashamed
I am proud of who I am

No more baggage
no more chains

Together lets fly free
of this world
create a new passion for life
and liberty
and free will


lets find out the truth together
and we will fight our demons

Lets fall in love
with all our imperfections
and all our flaws

Lets get this on
and get through this
together we stand STRONG

Here I am
Lost and confused
wanting to quit
wanting to give up
give up
Searching for my inner strength
Searching for my Identity

who am i?
Who am I?
That I'd give up on me
When everyone's gone
and abandoned
when hope seems to be all but lost....

you just hold on
hold on
to hope
to love
to life
to God
one must believe there is a purpose
to all this chaos

There is no book
nor manual
or directions to this life

mistakes shall be made
We'll turn around
and I'll find you
and you'll find me...

Together life shall be
in perfect harmony
It will be beautifully
distorted, with images
and ugly scars
but that's not the reason
why we chose each other.

I love you
and you love me
We look past all of this
and together we live
in perfect harmony

like a garden
left and abandoned
with no sun or rays of hope
with a lack of water
The plant should dwindle
Yet the magic is found within
because that's where the beauty appears

So don't give up
and don't lose hope
Don't forget
to love and forgive

This is your life
write your own tale
make the mistakes
find the hidden trail
own what you can
give when you can

Just don't give up
and don't lose hope
Don't forget
to love and forgive

I know its cliche
but since we only do live once
make it count
own your story and your problems
and together we can become one of the
Greats

Senior year filled with bliss
Senior year full of lists
life lessons we've all learned
no Qur'an to be burned

acceptance and tolerance is taught
things we ought not do
and things we ought to

skipping classes oh what fun
getting lots of essays
never done enough
We've all got pretty tough
after four years time
spent on
homework
friends
experiencing life
is defiantly sublime

getting ready for the future
yet we still cant see the whole **** picture
kind of nervous
kind of scared
at the end of the year
when we'll really see who really cared
to be true friends til the bitter end
through all our ups and all our downs
clean out the friend list
get ready for the plunge

each day is another last
memories we shall forget
names that used to have purpose
are now found meaningless

find a purpose
find a place
society dictates
this is our anthem
that although times are bad
working is all you have

each election getting meaner
every day a little harder
HOPE MY ***
this is all a clever lie

high school teaches us so much
yet none is remembered
none is obtained
vague concepts taught to the blind masses
When will the people learn?

To STAND UP
Stand up against corruption
and illegal government spending-WHOOPS
guess that was left outta the text books

Stay civil
stay sane
Follow the "American culture"
Eat fat
stay thin
this is hypocrisy we now live in

Vote for Republican
Vote for Democrat
doesn't matter in the end
they are the same
Abercrombie and Fitch
VS
Hollister
Same brand
different label

Don't you see?
Can't you see?
This hypocrisy....
is real
as real
as you
or Me

End of line

this is a poem dedicated to those who have finished with their story
This is for those who lost a dear friend
this is to those few who finished reading
a beloved book

To the happy endings
to the sorrow that is ever lasting
Until you open a new book
This is for those who don't read the last chapter
hang on to hope for all its worth.
this is for the dreamers
and the believers.

I hang onto hope
and false beliefs
and lies
hypocrisy
just to be happy
for one dwindling moment
a fleeting second
gone.
the last sentence read.

where to begin?
Where to begin?

I start to write my own tale
one that will never end
add a sentence here...
and there
pass it on to my prodigy
have them add their twist to the tale
here is to the ever lasting
here is to no more endings

Lets write
never forget
never give up
hold onto the pen
never stopping
hardly thinking
letting the characters flow from the pen
just write
write
write

This is me
a girl whose trying to fall in love
The girl who forgot her way

I want to love I do
There's just no spark
no fire
nor flame

He is here
He is good to me
So why can't I fall in love tonight?

There's nothing here
emptiness

This is my one happy poem
It isn't about death or teen suicide
It isn't about lost lovers

No...

It is about happiness
about the birds and the bees
the Butterflies in the Trees

This isn't about sadness
or
coping with depression

This is about the bugs and the beetles
and things that don't necessarily rhyme

In time
You will learn
much about life
that it is not centered
on anything.

Life is not about
***
drugs
rocking
rolling
Making money
or ******* off old people

This is my one happy poem

It isn't about
heartbreak
childless parents
orphans who live
       alone

No
this poem is about
getting high
forgetting all the pain
that occurs throughout the day

Its about
the happy thoughts
magic and miracles

This is
my one
happy poem

I wake up to the scent of you
The memories we share
I am yours
You are Mine
This is how it should be
This is how it truly is

Love isn't simple
It never is

Yet with you
I am happy
I am calm
I am...
ME

I look into the mirror
My eyes are finally holding PRIDE
I am happy
You are happy
together
forever

Lets make this last
Lets talk all night
sleep all day
and **** around
on our bedroom floor

Forget about work
forget about school
Responsibility can wait

Let it be us
that share in this
Let us protect what time
we have left.
Let us wander
together.
Discover
Together.
Question everything
Together.

For now in the winter Mist
in the snow
we may be lost
but in your hand
I have found myself

Lets get lost
together.
and see
what the morning dew
holds for two kindred spirits
waiting to fly high

Forests, trees, dragons
Danger at every turn
Ready for the real adventure to begin?

I am
Lets Run
together,
fight battles
together

Another lover gone
Anew one to find
I go to the ball
I find a prince charming
Is this another mistake?
Could I be dreaming

Too young to fall in love
Too old to be playing games

Is this the same?
the same old game
Where does this fit in?
Where do we fit in?
In this game
In this world
called Life?

I look back on my past mistakes.
It feels like the first time
It reminds me of summer
and sweet innocent love
       past
               Present.
                              future
For now we are playing
For now we are having fun
Where will this go?
Where will this go?

He asks
He desires
     Knowledge
wanting to know
my SECRETS
      I'll never tell, I'll never tell
But the what ifs... cross my mind
Reminded me of my mistakes
chances I never took
So what if I did
what if he does.

Perhaps this wont be
Another Mistake...
Perhaps...

For now I grab his hand
We run, we play, we giggle
So long past mistakes.
Lets go with this one.

Another mistake
another lesson learned.
For now
Just
Let
It
be
**Mine

I've always had thoughts of running
      No where to go
      No where to be
Just run
        away
from all this insanity

To a place that doesn't yet exist
     a place to call your own
Away from all your fears
Away from all the enemies
    We have all created
from the monsters under the bed

Lets run away from all of this
Run, run, RUN!!!!

I hear a shot
ringing through my ears
I just run.

through the darkness
Through the dungeons
Safe, Safe, Safe

Run to Safe
Crazy minds
mumbled voices
screaming
tearing out skin
Cant call for help
just Run

the voices stop
the ringing dissipates
I'm left alone

Look
Listen
Stop

Crickets
I hear the sounds of the wolves
I hear the sound of nature
I am safe.
I am safe.

There is no Merry Christmas
Nor a Happy New Year
For this year you are
gone, gone gone...

I wear a smile for our babe
as he asks me "where is my daddy"
How do I explain to my baby boy
that daddy has gone away....

I know hes not coming back
Wrongfully so
I miss him yet...

I tell him, son
daddy has gone away
He'll be back some day.

Even though I know in my heart
that I will never see his face again.
But I try to fake my smile for our little boy.

Christmas comes
Christmas goes
Yet we are still alone.

I lost you
and you lost me
tears and regrets
are gone now

your memory slowly
fades away
and the forget me nots
begin to wilt

I used to dream about you
at night
as the days ware on
you fade away.

I wake up lonely
on Christmas morning
to an empty stocking and bed

For a moment our song plays
we dance.
as I awake from my trance
I realize that you were make believe.

Just like Santa, and the Easter bunny.
You no longer exist.

Like childhood memories
you
fade
away

Emotionally confused
You wanna stay
but instead you go
You scream to me
your heart felt
        LOVE
when all I hear
is apologies
Leave.
Stay.
Go.
I miss you
your lips speak.
Yet your actions
speak louder
than you ever could.
Have you thought about that?
Have you thought about that?
I Love you
I hate you.
two sides to the same coin.
Flip me today
Fortune  be read
Filled with dread.
Don't leave today
Go tomorrow
It doesn't make a difference.
So numb with lost of love
No thoughts
I miss you.
Come back
     home

I morn for a lover lost
A boy once
Who turned into a man
Now I look
Upon his face
And I realize that
Who he was
Is no longer who he is

I morn for a brother lost
I see him on rare occasions
I miss him…
All grown up

The pain of watching
One grow up
From a lover
Into a stranger

From a brother
Into a man
I no longer recognize

Where do we go from here?
Where do we go?

The trees and the forest
The magic all disappeared
The fairies and stories
Of knights and bravery
Forgotten and lost

Forgive me now
Because I am lost
Fallen brother
Lost lover

Why did you go?
The battlefield
Painted red.
No longer will our days
Be shared with smiles and joys

Lets run.
Let us run
From this misery
From society
Let us find our own way
Home

I no longer recognize this place
Or us.

Let us find each other again
Once more lets call out the fairies
And the magic

For one night
Let us live forever
And forget the pain
And the tears shed
For the never ending day.

We can run forever
And we can truly be free
Lets live together once more
Like we used to

Let us run and be merry
Discover the truth
They’ve been hiding

We can do this

Grab my hand and we can run forever
