El amor que tengo por ti
Lily Oct 2016
Te amo
Te amo muchísimo.
Creo que mi vocabulario no es
Tan cosa porque
No hay ningana palabra que yo se que puede
Describir lo que ciento por ti.
Cuando pienso en ti
Mi corazoncito me duele.
Me duele porqué
Yo te deje.
...
Es por tu bien.
Lo hize por ti.
...
Te lo juro lo hize por ti.
...
En este momento tu
No necesitas las cosas malas de mi.
Pero yo también meresco mejor.
Haste que me ciente haci..
Te amo...
Te amo!
Si pudiera gritarlo desde el cielo
Todo el mundo Sabriera
Que yo te amo a ti.
...
Ojalá un dia...
un día me perdones...
Y estarias en mis brazos otra vez

Lily Oct 2016
Compliment someone today.
Compliment with the sincerity of your heart.
Trust me, you will see the difference it makes in their countenance.
Tell people to have a wonderful day.
Even if their rushing.
Mean it when you say it
Because intent gives a difference.
Make someone smile today.
Because you never known what troubles them at night.
With all of this,
it will actually make you feel better.
Have a wonderful day guys. life seems on the down sometimes but I know you can cheer up and keep on going!

Kindness
Lily Sep 2016
I forget
That random acts of kindness
Make a difference.
...
I go to work,
And all of a sudden one of the workers
Goes up to me and says
"Because I appreciate our student workers"
And hands me a small box.
I give her a pout and say "thank you so much!"
I oppened it
And it had a hand made shawl with a beautiful letter.
My gods
I felt my tears rise up, and
My chest swell.
Her kindness
Has made my whole entire life so much better.
I forgot,
That kindness is such a beautiful thing.
Thank you.
Thank you for reminding me that kindness goes a long way.
much love and blessings to all of you!!

The poem of Power
Lily Sep 2016
You ****** me up.
I said it.
You really did.
Before you
I was happy.
After you
I became a train wreck
Full with anxiety.
I forgive you.
I told you how you hurt me
Your excuse?
"You walked away when I needed you the most, so I don't understand how I hurt you"
Excuse me, since when was it okay
To leave a the one you love in a room 24/7 without offering them to go outside at least once?
When was it okay to convince the one you love to leave their family?
Since when was it ******* okay to isolate the person you love from everything they love?
Since when was it ******* okay to make their opinions irrelevant?!
But okay, I'm in the wrong for leaving when you have broken me the most.
But thank you. Thank you.
As much as I want to cuss you out,
And as much as I want to tell you
I forgive you.
You have made me strong.
You have shown me that
I Am a Woman worth more than ******* diamonds!
I matter, and my opinions matter!
My family and my friends matter!
You will no longer bring me down!!!
I'm so glad you have shown me that you haven't changed. I'm so glad you hurt me. I'm so glad I'm anxious because **** I'm becoming powerful! I'm sorry for the cussing.

Unexplained Feeling #3
Lily Sep 2016
There are some days,
days like these.
Nothing eventful
nor is it a holiday.
I always send my friends
"I love you."
Reason?
They were my family
when I believed I had none.
They were my rocks
when I was not grounded.
They were my motivation
when I believed life was at its worst.
These friends
kept me sane
when my whole world was tumbling down.
So,
I say it very often, but
I
love
my
friends.
I have found my tribe.

Wednesday's 9:30 AM
Lily Sep 2016
For the past couple of weeks,
I have had the privilege to talk to an older man every morning at 9:30 AM.
Andy is extremely learned,
And very pleasant to speak to.
Our conversations are honestly about everything, and nothing.
From how our days have been to what The meaning of God is.
The time goes so quick when speaking to him.
By 11:30 AM I personally have to go to my room to catch a quick nap for my class or I run the risk of falling asleep in class and missing vital information.
Nonetheless he is sweet and understands that college life isn't easy.
Everytime I have to run,
It always ends with "thank you" from both sides.
We part ways, and oh man I can't wait for next Wednesday.
Hopefully I have enough sleep so I can stay longer.
This is not really a poem. Sorry. It's more of an account.

Unexplained Feeling #2
Lily Sep 2016
You
have me under a spell.
It is a spell that I cannot seem to get rid of.
Since the day you have graced me with your presence
I cannot seem to get rid of you.
I
keep
thinking
about
you
And
It is driving me mad.
I can no longer have a moment for myself, so
I beg you...
Break your spell,
so I can finally have a good nights sleep
without having you
pop in my head.
Stop it.

The visitor
Lily Sep 2016
This visitor is the topic of conversation in my life recently,
However it has been for centuries.
When he knocks on your door
You know its time to go
Even if things are left behind, there is no more time.
I see that many fear this visitor
Even praying that it wont come knocking on their door.
But I'm waiting...
I'm waiting.
It's not that I'm expecting this visitor any time soon
Nor do I wish to see him coming to my door step.
No it's more like
If he comes, I am ready.
If my time comes it comes.
So I sit here staring at my feet
While everyone frantically prays and denies his existence
I'm here contemplating what to eat next
While everyone is scared that they might be next.
So, my grandmother is close to death. Everyone is in tears while I'm happy that she will no longer suffer anymore. Is that selfish?

Free
Lily Aug 2016
Every time I looked into or even glanced any social networks
it always came with a furious  "What are you doing, hm? Why are you liking guys pictures?"
"Babe, their my friends, I've known them for a long time. "
, which later will blow up into arguments on "Why can't it just be us?"
My world was shrinking by the minute, and my heart shriveling up.
"It's okay" I would convince myself.
It will get better.
He will change.
It never did
The arguments became frequent
The isolation became the norm.
Being in a room alone would be my job.
Just to please this man.
My friends would tell me
"Leave  hes not good for you anymore"
Stubbornly I would stay.
Arguments would end up being yelling matches.
At one point he raised his hand to me.
These red flags I ignored because
I thought I found the one.
I cut my friends, and left my family
to live a life with him.
Until one day I thought,
"Is this even right?"
I talked to friends, which all said the same thing
"Leave"
Hell , I even flipped a coin, and it told me to leave.
I packed my stuff and left.
With tears in my eyes I never felt so
Free.
So, I was in an extremely toxic relationship. Luckily I decided to leave. To everyone that has ever felt anything like this with their significant other, Please leave. You dont have to feel useless anymore.

Unexplained feeling #1.
Lily Jun 2016
Doubt.**
A terrible plague
that just rots and destroys
every thought and hope.
Every wonderful feeling I had
disappeared, and was replaced with fear.
What is this?
How could it invoke so much
pain, and hopelessness?
I can't help but to sit here
and allow doubt to shatter the remaining light
of my dreams and curiosity.
In this situation, I dont know what to do.

To my children,
Lily Mar 2016
Whomever you may be,
Whatever gender, color, height, or whatever career you decide to have later on in your life...
I want to first off tell you,
I love you!
It may be years until I see your faces
Because I do not plan to have children until later on, but I do know...
I will love you no matter what.
On another note...
Here are things I do not want you to go through alone:

Identity issues- I will always be here for you and I will understand you through your crisis. I will help the best way I can- even if that is constantly making you laugh with lame corny jokes!

Sexuality- Whatever gender you prefer or if you are confused or even if you decide to have a *** change... I don't care! As long as you are happy!

Body Image: If you ever sad about your body or see something wrong with yourself ... Please tell me. You are beautiful. I do not want you to cry yourself to sleep because you hate yourself. I will help you. I promise. You will learn that what we must seek is the beauty within ourselves. You will never be alone through this process.

Relationships: PLEASE ALWAYS INFORM ME! I ALWAYS WANT TO KNOW WHEN YOU ARE DATING SOMEONE BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT YOU DREPRESSED AFTER THE BREAKUP. PLEASE. I WILL HELP YOU WITH THE HEARBREAK WHEN YOU HAVE ANY.
And when you find the one I want to celebrate with you!!!!

School: Best believe I will bother the hell out of you if you persue a higher education and leave my sight. It is never fun to face stress by yourself. Trust me.

In other words,
I don't want you to think you are alone in the world or that you have to face the struggles of this world alone!
I want you to be able to rely on me.
And it pains me to ever think that you will go through the same  Self struggles I have.
I do not ever want you to be crying yourself to sleep for any reason.
Or worry yourself about nonsense
And let that worry consume your sleep.
I will never let that slip pass me!
Therefore, I promise, I will always be here for you. Always.
I will always listen and try to be understanding.
Any time of the day and any time of the year, I will be there for you!
I want you to rely on me as a parent and know that I will go to the ends of the earth for you.
Sincerely,
Your future mother, DLM.
Its been awhile and I apologize. Life has been hectic and I havent had motivation. Until now. This has been on my mind quite a bit ever since the man I love and I discussed how we don't want our children to suffer like we did. Plus its not much of a poem, so im sorry for that. I hope to use this one day.

HEY GUYS
Lily Dec 2015
Hello friends!
Sorry its been too long!
Life became hectic.
But to make it better,
I just need a hug.
Yup,
a single embrace
will fill my world with
more sunshine.
**Have a great day, whoever you are.
And always remember you are a wonderful soul.

It is a Beautiful day,

I have suffered the blows..
Of pain...
Yet I countinue on
Because it is a Beautiful Day.

You say...
"Hate me."
I tried: ...I love you.
You say...
"Forget me."
I tried: ...I love you.
You say...*
"I am deeply in love with you"
I said...*
"Goodbye."

And still, madly in love but too stubborn to admit it to you. So here goes the feelings I was to prideful to say outloud.

In times of Crisis...
Lily Nov 2015
Dear friends,
Brothers, sisters, and strangers alike.
Let us not make hate our
Motivation To Better This World.
In a time of crisis like this,
Hate will only bring forth more problems.
Fear should never be the drive for decisions.
Because...
Only the blind will lead the blind,
If fear and hate conquer us all.
Lets us retaliate!
Lets bring love and compassion!
We are all humans!
Let us hug our fellow brothers and sisters,
And celebrate that we are all different!
We were all sprouts that grew in,
Different branches.
However, we all derived from the same tree!
Let us celebrate each other and put aside,
Such hate that was born from fear.
Lets put aside, our words of hate
And bigotry.
Let us find the words of comfort and
Encourage the good our world has.

Ive been seeing outrages articles and comments on the recent bombings in Paris. It was a horrific event, yes, but this is not a time to start pointing the finger at ANYONE because of their choice of religion! We must all stick together and not point the finger at the innocent ones.

Friday the 13th.
Lily Nov 2015
My Friday the 13ths have not always been eventful..
Until today...
You sent me a message.
You apologized.
We spoke.
I ended up saying goodbye first.
Not because I cant handle speaking to you.
I cant handle the pain,
And the excuses.
I cant handle you telling me you love me.
And repedetly telling me...
You're in love with me
You told me to trust you,
that you will explain in a later time.
But how can I trust you,
When you run away?
Perhaps, I do not understand.
But How can I put up with a pain,
You engraved when you left?
©Lily M Sky
I dont really know whats going on anymore. But, I cannot allow myself to sink any further... Even for the person I loved the most.

Wonder...
Lily Nov 2015
I wonder...
Do you think about me,
Late at night when the whole city sleeps?
When I feel pain...
Do you still feel it?
When tears trickle down my face....
Do your tears follow the same rhythm?
Do we still have that same connection...
Or was that cut long ago?
Do you dream of me...
Just like I dream of you?
Do you ever stay up and rethink
All the mistakes you made with me?...
Do you feel the guilt...
Of doing me wrong?
*I wonder...
Just a thought.

Late night dilemma.
Lily Nov 2015
When the night reigns,
I lay by my bed,
wandering in my thoughts.
Somewhere along the way
I would smell the faint scent of...
smoke from the cigarettes you owned...
I do not understand why,
yet I try...
To avoid all thoughts of You.
©Lily M. Sky
Yeah.

"A Foreigner in My Own Land"
Lily Nov 2015
"Foreigner in my own land"
Words that I will forever have in my skin.
This tattoo, means
An ancestral burden that I did not choose.
Quoted directly,
From a man... Who faught
Side by side with heroes in order to gain a taste of freedom.
An ideal he believed essential.
But....
The tint of his skin, and his mother tongue,
determined his fate...
He was forever exiled from the country he fought for and held on so dear.
"Foreigner in my own land."
Generations passed,
And we still hold this burden.
My roots... Determined something.
An idea that I am less according to some.
My people are fighting a fight,
That shouldnt even exist.
And I am proud to say...
I am a foreigner in my own land.
Because no matter where I go...
I am a stranger.
Regardless of race and color.
We will always be foreigners to others. Yet,
I am a stranger that will hold a smile,
And welcome the bigotry.
I know what I am.
And I am proud.
Instead of infecting others with hate....
Let us celebrate our differences and appreciate each other.
Because we are all Foreigners.
I recently got this tattoed on my thigh. I must admit, it is my proudest ink.

Home
Lily Nov 2015
I want to go home,
And forget all this mess.
Burry myself in my bed,
Enshrounded by the darkness as the days go by.
I no longer want to face,
Those frowns and negativity.
I no longer want to see,
The side smirks and pointing.
I want to go home,
And wake up seeing my family.
Where the only things I had to deal with,
Was my sisters.
I want to go home.
So I dont ever have to face these problems again.
But...
I cannot, in order to grow
I must face them, worry and manage.
But for right now... I want to go home.

H-A-P-P-Y
Lily Nov 2015
H-A-P-P-Y
Adjective, and pronounced as "hapē".
It is an emotion.
It looks odd just looking at the word.
How do I achieve.. this.. this thing?
How do I know I am doing it right?
How am I guaranteed that my illusions,
of this emotion are false.
I will, perhaps never know.
Maybe, I am fooled,
by all the precise definitions.
But for right now...
In these moments of darkness,
I know happiness is the hope
that swells up in my chest
,and makes my heart believe.
It fools my mind,
into believing I can.
I can.
I really can.
Maybe, Happiness is not just an emotion...
Maybe, just maybe it is a life style..
A choice?
Happiness, can be shaped to my own.
I can shape my happiness and you can shape yours.
Is that not just wonderful?

My fairy tale.
Lily Nov 2015
Once upon a time...
I Met you.
I never thought we would end up like this.
But before I go any further... I must say...
We met, and it was wonderful.
You brought a whole new perspective,
Into my journey of this game named Life.
We talked, and noticed
All the similarities we had.
We became inseparable.
You and I believed it was comraderie at first.
We were brothers,
although many times I had to kindly remind you I was a female.
You and I in the silence,
Was more than a conversation.
Everything we did, was fun.
We went on many adventures,
Together.
Your company was like no other....
You were my best friend.
But through one experience...
It seemed the glass broke.
You no longer saw me as a brother...
You saw me as a...
Woman.
Who knew this view would make you withdraw so quickly.
You retreated and left me in the dark.
You ignored me and avoided me.
I never understood why.
I blamed myself... I lost a brother.
All of a sudden,
You admitted to falling inlove,
With ME.
I was dumbfounded, confused, but most of all happy I heard from you again.
I did not quite understand your feelings,
But your company is what I needed and craved.
Perhaps, knowing how you felt gave me butterflies...
But, I always had them in your company.
Perhaps, I fooled myself into thinking
You were only a brother figure.
Perhaps, this whole time I was inlove with you too...
Just too afraid to admit it.
And with a conversation, and a magical kiss...
I was yours.
That kiss, left me breathless. Sparks were everywhere.
All the fairy tales kisses I believed to be *******...
Came true... When I kissed you.
Everything from then on... Was Magical.
But, like in all stories... Time was not on our side.
Time was our enemy and distance was our betrayer.
Before I left, you began acting strange.
You began ignoring me.
Blinded by love, I kept hopes alive... That this magical reltionship would sustain regardless of the distance.
The day of my birth... You did not come see me. The day of my birth... I was sentenced to leave for awhile.
Where were you? Nowhere to be found.
And when I asked... I instantly knew...
It broke off.
In tears I ran to a friend... Who called you a coward.
I cursed your name...
The last thing you said was
"Happy Birthday, Im sorry".
And here I am.... Foolishly thinking of you.
Without a reason and as my world shatters apart for right now.
There will be brighter days. Those will always come....
Because life never stops for the fool inlove.

I apologize for the length... Ive been meaning to write this for awhile.

When She Doesn't Know Me
Lily Nov 2015
You assume you know me,
Since you lived with me.
You think you know...
All my pains, my happiness, my life...
Me.
What you fail to acknowledge,
Is that you never took the time to know me.
Instead of listening, you turned the other way.
How could you know me...
When you never gave me the opportunity to listen to me.
You've seen my tears... Not my sadness.
You've seen my smile... Not my troubles.
You've heard my laugh... Not my worries.
You kept raising an eyebrow, when I exalted in new teachings to grow spiritually.
Instead of causing trouble,
I let it go... Why?
Because who needs a person who wont give you the time of day to know you.
I need more than that.
I need you to listen and understand... A task that seems impossible for you to do.
So let's hope, you change your ways...
And hope some day, you'll be my friend again.
©Lily M. Sky
Because she will not accept me now...

To my lovely ones.
Lily Nov 2015
A friend according to Merriam Dictionary is ": a person who you like and enjoy being with
: a person who helps or supports someone or something (such as a cause or charity)".
But what really makes up being a friend?
A friend is one who...
Makes a bed out of pillows in their room,
When you fight with your roommmate;
One who listens to your rants about
What seems to be the most ridiculous things;
They make you smile when it seems
the whole world is again you;
Their silence is a comfort;
A hug from a friend....
is more valuable than just comforting words;
Every gesture they make,
Makes your heart smile;
They listen to your beliefs...
Although they may cause others to raise an eyebrow;
They are the ones who open their door at 2 am when you wander around helplessly lost in your thoughts;
They wash your dishes,
Even when you never asked to;
They share ice cream with you,
While watching movies to cheer you up.
Friends, are more than just good company...
They are those who are willing to get to know you, and will listen to you regardless of what you have done.
