The lonely Old Man
laurie Jun 2014
The lonely old man wrinkled he's aged,
he's gone into care he feels like he's caged.

Weak he's fragile but his mind is in tact,
the way life is it's a matter of fact.

The lonely old man he's missing his wife,
waiting to die looking back o his life

Looking through photographs a distant memory it seems,
frightened by death it's plaguing his dreams.

The lonely old man it seems nobody cares,
in his bedroom he sits there and stares.

One day a young lady comes to help him get ready,
on his feet he's not stable he's become unsteady.

The lonely old man he's feeling a tired old chap,
the lady dresses him smartly finishing with his cap.

Out in the gardens she takes him for a walk,
from his wheelchair  he laughs as they talk.

The lonely old man and the lady they bond,
watching the fish as they swim in the pond.

Days go by the man weakens he's worse,
the lady stays with him that's her promise as a nurse.

The lonely old man ready to leave his life,
he starts seeing the face of his beautiful wife.

Holding his hand she knows he is dying,
trying to be professional she can't stop herself crying.

The lonely old man turns to the lady,
his face has darkened his eyes grey and shady.

Slipping away his breathing is slow
knowing it's time for him he must go.

Miss Melanie
laurie Jun 2014
Sunflowers, daisy's and tulips too,
these are things that remind me of you.

Animals of many to them you are kind,
geese, dogs and chickens in your garden you will find.

Bright colors your a hippy chick you own it so well,
a friend in you that's my Auntie Mel.

Miss Melanie your canny plenty of good times that we've shared,
I know i'm not always there but for you I've always cared.

Your lovely little ornaments your wacky hippy ways,
I often think of the good times I miss the olden days.

Sunflowers, Daisy's and tulips too,
I really miss you and all that you do.

Rumors
laurie Jun 2014
Vicious tongues a nasty rumor,
It only sparks my sense of  humor.
Chinese whispers what do they say,
there's no truth in the patter at the end of the day.
People believe then the gossip is stirred,
when really the truth  is it never occurred.
Jealous minds and evil in man,
They choose to destroy because they know that they can.
So never believe what the gossips have to say,
How do you know that's the truth anyway.
Don't be foolish to believe that it's true,
Your feeding the power to all it can do.
Nasty rumors they spread so fast,  
It'll soon be forgotten a thing of the past.

Kiss me in the moment your lips are soft and sweet,
dance with me under the starts lift me off my feet.

Kiss me in my dreams now we are apart,
my love for you will remain embedded deep with in my heart.

kiss me like we are young again like on our honey moon,
memories of you and how you've gone too soon.

Kisses I miss it's the small little things,
the joy that we shared the happiness it brings.

Mr brightside come back to make me smile,
I haven't seen you for a long time it's been a lengthy while.

Come light me up with your sunshine like the days when I felt free,
sitting by the river reading books under my favorite tree.

Mr brightside shine your warm light brightly,
lift this darkened mood even if it's just slightly.

Give me strength and courage to lift me from this state,
take away the sadness don't let me feel such hate.

Mr Brightside please save me from this torment,
let me live my life so i can appreciate the moment.

Reaching out
laurie Mar 2015
Reaching out to her father but he doesn't want to know, the pain behind her eyes you can see she's feeling low.

Reaching out for answers its been almost thirty years, left empty inside wondering why he never cares.

Reaching out for love from her father in which she has craven, trying to settle the storm within to create her own inner sweet haven.

Reaching out to his stepdaughter over social media, after years of engine searches from google to wikipedia.

Reaching out for a chance to meet the dad who got scared and closed the door, another slap in the face from her big brown eyes the tears they pour.

Reaching out for closure to understand what she did that was wrong, the need to seem him daily is forever growing strong

Reaching out for his explanation he can't even give her that, not even in a letter or face to face in chat.

Reaching out in hope that somehow, someday just maybe, he'll fall in love with her again just like when she was a baby.

Reaching out for his affection she's missed out on having her dad, all the father daughter things, something she has never had.

Reaching out in desperation it hurts her deep and raw, something that has never healed it hurts right through to the core.

Reaching out to her daddy she's not mad or full of hate, she won't accept that this was written as part of her own fate.

Domestic.....
laurie Jul 2014
Domestic violence, I feel it in your silence,
I see the pain in your eyes, hearing the torture in your cries.

Bruises, broken bones your half dead,
he battered you so badly there's scars on your head, with the feeling of dread.

To weak to fight his strength, you'd go to any length,
to break free run from this bully, he don't love you in his heart not truly or fully.

Excuses are running out, you have to get out
U can hear him coming, you get the urge to start running.

You freeze he grabs you by the hair,
pleading with him to stop, in this rage he doesn't care.

Another punch in the face, he throws you around,
too young to pick you up off of the ground.

He says he didn't mean it, i wish you could of seen it
from the beginning, he's got a hold of you he thinks he's winning.

walking on egg shells living in this hell,
too afraid to speak out, there's no one you can tell.

He rapes you batters you inflicts all this pain,
stripped you of your dignity, makes you feel insane.

Domestic violence, break your silence
fight back your strong, what he's doing is wrong.

Family Feuds
laurie Jul 2014
Family feuds you refuse to see this despair,
damaged relationships, something we just can't repair.

All of this drama it's wearing me down,
thinking of leaving this god awful town.

I can't take it no longer I'm tired of the fight,
worried sick your keeping me awake at night.

Your my mother not my child,
your off the rails you've gone wild.

Abuse your violent mentally ill,
you've tortured my mind I can't keep still.

I've tried and tried to help you get well ,
your beyond this now I really can tell.

I have my own family, got to live my own way,
I can't keep feeling hurt by the things that you say.

I know your trapped in this mental frame,
too much to handle, I cry with the pain .

Family feuds I can no longer connect,
it's making me Ill, myself I need to protect

Brainwashed
laurie Jul 2014
Brainwashed no control over your mind,
wishing there's a button so I can press re-wind.

Back to the day you met this awful fate,
I'd warn you off, tell you not to go through the gate.

9 years of torture you've been under a spell,
you haven't been yourself, you've really been un well.

We've tried to protect you save you from the mess,
watched you being beaten, frustrated by the stress.

Its hard for us as your daughters,
we can see you that your drowning in the deepest waters.

Watching you waste away your all skin and bone,
the weakness in your voice I can hear it in your tone.

This man is more than evil, he sends shivers down my spine,
with the thought of him killing you, is an awful worry of mine.

Finally he's gone he's left his mark on you,
we are here to help you, don't be ashamed of you.

Brainwashed your starting to open your eyes,
to the damage that he's done and all his harmful lies.

Injected with a poison
laurie Jun 2014
Injected with a poison my body weak it's limp,
forced to work the streets at the hands of my greedy ****.
Working through the night my body's bruised it's battered,
All my hopes and dreams into a million pieces they've shattered.
Tortured by the demons affected by the drugs,
living in this cold dark place amongst these ****** thugs.
Got to find a way out I need to get away,
they threaten me with death tell me I must stay.
Injected with a poison thrown back into the game,
selling myself to the devil i'm drowning deep in shame.
Blocking out reality looking for a vein,
standing on the ***** streets already feeling that drain.
In another dimension I'm high as a kite,
my will too weak to struggle on and win the fight.
Injected with a poison I've become a modern slave,
clinging on to hope trying to be brave.
Locked up in this bedroom with women just like me,
thinking of a plan to help to set u free.
Turning on our **** we stand and say no more,
stabbing him in the chest he crashes to the floor.
Injected with a poison  together we are saved,
the memories of this tragedy in me they've engraved.

Redundancy
laurie Aug 2015
When you have no money nobody wants to know,
Being made redundant, my morale is feeling low.

Waiting on the government to process my claim,
Can't pay my bills, I'm panicking, but I am not to blame.

Creditors chasing me, letters piling up behind the door, powerless to do a thing, but this I can't ignore.

Loosing the will slowly, my head hurts from all the pleading, my children and my dog they will soon need feeding.

No support available, this walk I must do alone, crying myself to sleep, I could have been prepared if I had known.

My world has suddenly collapsed, the domino effect has begun, rippling through my cash flow, this summer isn't feeling fun.

The days are feeling empty, to broke to go anywhere, trying to scrape together copper so I can treat my children to the fair.

Relentless job searches, I'm tearing at my hair, when you are left without a penny and there's no one around to care.

Holding my head in my hands, trying to keep things together, depressed and down I hope this isn't forever.

Fighting off the feelings, trying not to take it to heart, hurt that I worked so hard, from the very start.

I was always there, worked overtime for free, helped out when things were bad, stupid, silly me.

Its ok for the big boys, their wage it tripled mine,
They may be in the same boat, but they will just be fine.

Pacing the walls I'm slowly slipping into madness,
Clinging onto hope, getting lost deep inside the sadness.

A temporary glitch, I'm hoping I will be able to recover, its times like this we need help from one another.

Scared, more terrified but what's worse is I feel alone, trying hard to keep upbeat, trying to remain in good tone.  

My children too young to understand, and my dog just looks at me funny. Not realising the world is dominated by that paper stuff called money.

My thoughts are racing vividly, trying to capture an idea, paralysed by the sudden shock along with intense fear.

My world has collided, my heart begins to fade,
All of this could have been prevented, If only I'd been paid.

For my dad a stranger to me
laurie Jun 2014
Where is my father who I've not yet seen,
Where is he living where has he been.
Uncanny this feeling it's making me sad,
Left me hurting I'm needing my dad.
His face I can not picture an image forgotten,
How could he do this it's simply just rotten.
Maybes I'll meet him one day if it's down as my fate,
Or maybe I'll meet him waiting at heavens gate.
Where is my father he's supposed to be by my side.
I search for him always with eyes open wide.
He knows I exist he just can't stand up and be a dad,
It sure is hard but mostly it's sad.
I know I'm not in the wrong I was only a child,
Having no father is driving me wild.
Where is my father where has he been,
I dream of the day his face can bee seen.

Disheartenment
laurie Sep 2014
The feeling of disheartenment thickening on the inside until it reaches your throat.


No longer can you stand it, like barb wire around your neck. You can't breathe by the feelings that have consumed every last inch of your body.

Paralysed, you can't move! Your thoughts run wild within your subconscious, images flurrying; changing continuously until you no longer see what's before you.

Your heart shatters into devastation, the realisation of the cruel surroundings in which you have succumb.

Tears pour down your face, with each trickle you cling to yourself  The desperation in your cries, no one hears your plea .
Ok so I'm new to this type of poetry, not sure what style this is but I'm writing with feeling my grammar probably isn't perfect either but if anyone can give me any advice, it would be most appreciated :)

Numb
laurie Jul 2014
Right now I'm numb to any sort of feeling,
the hurt and anger, inside it's got me reeling.

Numb to this exposure,
I'm trapped deep in this enclosure.

Banging my head against the wall,
there's no way I'll survive the fall.

Trying to accept life isn't just black and white,
blind I have no vision, I've lost my sight.

Right now I'm numb to any sort of feeling,
no time to reflect, or proceed with self healing.

I'm not angry anymore I've cried too many tears,
I've been the one to overcome my fears.
I'm not sorry that I don't know you it's the path you chose to take,
angry with my mother you see me as a mistake.
I'm not missing out on my children's lives to me it is my duty,
this opportunity is a gift filled with lots of beauty.
I'm not sad anymore I've tried too hard to reach you,
only one chance I wanted, I'm not here to try and preach you.
I'm not ashamed anymore,  I've accepted that you don't want this,
we have no memories together, there's nothing for me to miss.
I'm not pulling myself apart because of a choice you made,
it's on your conscious forever, but for me this hurt will fade.
I'm  not perfect but I'm not afraid to face the things in  life,
I hope you are happy raising someone else's children, sitting cosy with your wife.
I'm your only daughter In my heart I know you once cared,
the situation was crazy too young you ran off scared.

Blowing in the wind with my hearts desire,
soaked up in my bones the feeling I'm on fire.

Blowing in the wind with my souls need,
around my neck I protect with a rosary bead.

Blowing in the wind with my own reality,
questioning the doubt of my mentality.

Blowing in the wind with my urge to waken,
lost my vision I'm blind, the strength from me is taken.

away from this loneliness and the tears that I cry.

I'll fly far away to neverland,
with fairy dust and the world in my hand.

I'll think happy thoughts with stories to tell,
get to know this place so very well.

I'll sleep in the trees way up high,
looking above at the stars in the sky.

I'll be in a place where happiness is real,
wash away my worries the joy that'll I'll feel.

I'll spread my wings and learn how to fly,
living this dream until the day I die.

Living in a bubble the world is now  suppressed,
looking through the window this place is too depressed.

An economy that has risen  we are all slaves to this,
the government is greedy they really do take the ****.

Fighting for survival a game that's full of deceit.
shocked by the rise in prices I can't look at my receipt.  

Living in this crazy world it's full of unwanted danger,
it really comes to something when you no longer trust a stranger .

Technology has taken over are kids are ****** right in,
all in the name of money this is such a greedy sin.

The recession has hit us hard and we aren't the one's to blame,
the banks are the people who should hold their heads in shame.

Living in a bubble the world has reached this state,
an awakening is needed before it's too late.

I don't hide my feelings I ain't afraid to feel.

you'll end up cold if you hold a grudge.

The truth about your way, something I had to say,
on that ****** up day, I need to getaway.

Slap me in the face, to your own disgrace ,
I'm leaving this place, without a trace.

The drama, the karma;
I need to wrap myself in armour,
To protect me from the trauma.

Despite is that right?
the day would come when I'd stand up and fight

It's my right, it may be no delight but
you could just be polite, accept that you've lost the fight

To control, it's not your role
It's starting to take it's toll.

Pushing me away, there's no way I wanna stay,
you don't listen to what I say.

The only way is up don't let yourself get down,
always wear a smile on your face, never sit and frown.

There's only one road you can choose, you must do this alone,
or forever remain a robot, just another living clone.

Grab your dreams with all your strength, make them come true    
your thoughts and your vision, are the key to what you do.
Laugh, cry and get angry but be in control of emotion,
don't get wrapped up in the drama of all this crazy commotion.
life as little lessons to create a better you,
don't beat yourself up over the hiccups, its the worst thing you can do.

Always be upbeat destroy any negative vibes,
look at how other cultures live, happy in their mighty tribes.

The message is all over but from birth we are re-programmed,
the signals are hard to see, they somehow seem to be jammed.

The only way is up, you've already been in the dark,
the flame is ready to light, just ignite the spark.

But for our son remain to keep the peace, I called upon a truce.

It's not fair that you dare, you act like you don't care.

I am stupid for understanding,
It's not like I'm a ***** or even ridiculously demanding.

He's your son, he should be your saviour
I'm shocked by your ways and selfish behaviour.  

I am a fool to let you rule this situation isn't cool.

A distant father but your not that far away,
Never interested in his schooling or parent teacher day.

I am fed up of hearing your always hard done by, yet you can afford to party don't you think that's just sly?

You go on like we live in outer space,
You never call or ask about him, to your own disgrace.

I am sick I've had this for nine years,
Our boy he thinks that nobody cares.

Two days out of fourteen you parent our son,
more bothered by drink not by the damage that's done.

I am scared our son is being effected,
when you let him down I can see he feels rejected.

You only have one chance to share these moments, strangled by your image and your lifes long torments.  

I am here everyday  by his side,
the pain he is feeling, he cannot hide.

When age catches up and your reminiscing,
I'll be sure to know you'll regret the memories you are missing.

I'm not mad, just sad, our boy needs his dad,
he should never have to feel like he's done something bad.

And when you wake up from the lifestyle you've live, I hope our son is able to forgive.

Father Christmas where did he come from?
On Christmas Eve we all leave him a feast,
Along with some carrots to share with his beast.

Reindeer dust we sprinkle on our lawn,
tucked up in bed we get excited for dawn.

Lavish gifts more than one we receive,
but why is it in Father Christmas that we all believe?

Pretending each year that this man is magic,
he's not real I found this so very tragic.

Father Christmas he's just make believe,
your mum and your dad hide the presents you receive

It's really confusing how we create these lies,
stories of Santa's sleigh and how he loves  mince pies.

His famous red suit and his long white beard, finding out he's a fake is something I always feared.

Flying the world all in one night,
a sack full of toys for our children's delight.

Father Christmas who invented this man?
An image created we believe that he can.

Boarded onto the Boats

Boarded onto the boats by the hundred's, desperate to flea their own land, leaving with only essentials, families firmly holding hands.

Desperate to escape from the cruel environment they face, loosing everything they are feeling in disgrace.

Another tragic ending the story published worldwide, there's no refuge for our brothers, no where for them to hide.

I often wonder if we deserve the world we were given, so many are suffering in the life that they are living.

Unimaginable circumstances, men, women and children too, there's got to be a way, surely there's something we can do.


Boarded on to the boats by the hundred's, their fate is still unclear, the horrific journey begins, they are overcome by the fear.

Drinking because your not fine.
A shot of ***** that glass of gin,
Drinking the bottle your haunted by sin.
Drinking at breakfast a cider or two,
Downing it by the litre is all you seem to do.
Drinking yourself into a sad sorry state,
Drinking so much you fall through the gate.
Drowning your sorrows your out of your mind,
Drinking that one drink to help you unwind.
Drinking everyday it's all you want to do,
You've lost that spirit deep within you.
Drinking is bad when you abuse,
Drinking is something you just can't refuse.
On the whiskey that old awful smell,
Drinking it straight no wonder you fell.
Drinking it's took over it's hard to see ,
Drinking I choose not it's just not for me

Growing up was hard the memories I have are sad,
living in a broken home I never saw my dad.

A frightened little girl the sound of smashing glass,
hiding in my room, sitting silently in class.

Feeling all alone my mothers in a state,
another violent outburst do I run for the garden gate?

You's were fighting all the time my step dad hated me too,
I know you were in a bad place but did I mean that little to you?

Growing up was horrific the trauma was unreal,
still to this very day it affects the way I feel.

Dragged around by my hair I know you didn't mean it,
when I was ill with a sickness bug you left me all alone to clean it.

Bathing me one day you tried to drown me in the bath,
I wasn't even a bad kid I was just a victim to your wrath.

Wetting the bad you'd laugh I was only five,
praying I would die I couldn't bare to be alive.

Growing up was hard looking back I see,

Crying with frustration all I can do is shout,
once upon a time with us there certainly was no doubt.

I need a little space a place where I can breathe,
will we make a comeback or forever will you leave.

Maybes we aren't meant to be things are turning sour,
or maybes our love will blossom just like that of a flower.

Angry i'm annoyed your constantly on my back,
where is the support that we both seem to lack.

All I know now is I need time to think,
I'm pushed to the edge i'm standing on the brink.

Do I shut the door and keep all men at bay,
or do I fight for us and beg for you to stay.

Angry I am hurting is this really what we are,
please just be a bad patch and together we'll go far.

Like everything in life there has to be a balance,


I'm not talking about your wardrobe or your pretty valance.

A mixture of feelings all cooked up in a ***,
blending together nicely,
if you leave them they will rot.

Weighing out ingredients,
preparing is the key
Opening the door to all that you can be,

It comes with consequences,
if you try to jump the steps,

you will fall off the ladder,
back
to the darkest depths.

Its not about perfection,

in life you'll make mistakes,
learn from them as you will,
beware of the snakes and fakes.

Like every in life, there has to be love,
like the angels watching over us,
from the stars that shine above.

Make me see your vision, make me catch your drift, all of this quarreling is making us adrift.

Make me see what's real, since you say my ways are crazy, to me they are the truth but you insist that they are hazy.  

Make me get the point, I don't always understand, this conflict is confusing it's something I can't stand.

Make me feel ok about the person inside of me, I am not blind, I just don't see the things you see.

Always
laurie Feb 2015
Always riding the tide, never quite reaching the shore, searching deeply for something, this I cant ignore.

Always hoping and waiting, to feel the change in the water, longing to feel the calm now I'm no longer your daughter.

Always pondering thoughts, collectively stored upon my mind, not to certain either on what I'm trying to find.

Always wanting more, never feeling content or at ease, trying to keep the balance, always aiming to please.

Always riding the tide, never quite reaching the shore, not wanting to feel, feel this way anymore.

❤ I See
laurie Feb 2015
I see the pain in your eyes, the sadness in your reflection, I should have loved you a little more, I should have saved you from rejection.

I see the hurt in your emotion, your longing for my heart, but day by day I'm pushing us further apart.

I'm numb to any feeling, of emotions like love, set me free, if only, I want to fly far and above.

So don't think I don't care, my love for you is pure, only the expression that is faulty it's something I'm trying to cure.

I see the troubles I have caused you, I'll admit that I've done wrong, lets build bridges together and make our love binding  strong.

I see now I never showed you any affection inside, too frightened I ran from you, to protect my feelings I would hide.

I see your efforts to wow me, worship me holey, all alone in your trying you've been doing this solely.  

I've never learnt how to love, always feeling ice cold, warm me up with your passion I don't want to be like this when I'm old.

I see how my actions have caused your loving heart to crumble, I'm sorry for your sorrow, I'll try and catch you from the stumble.

I see if I don't wake up or defrost my frozen heart, I'm going to miss out on my one true love and I know you'll want to part.

So take these words as my token, on paper I hope that it make's sense, please understand I've never felt love these feelings are intense.

Something which I'm still learning, each and everyday, I hope and pray this poem will be enough to make you stay.

Finding my voice
laurie Jun 2014
Finding my voice the words do not flow,
confrontation has risen with nowhere to go.
That old scary feeling i'm back in that place,
my stomach is churning the fear on my face.
Terrified and shaking like i'm about to die,
trying to keep control I can't let myself cry.
A mistake I made there's no need for your drama,
a bully you are one day you'll face karma.
Humiliated again shouted at like a child,
you are not human you belong in the wild.
Finding my voice screaming inside,
looking to escape I need somewhere to hide.
At breaking point my reaction is cool,
so why I am I feeling like I am the fool?
Scared of this feeling I can't seem to face,
inside I am frightened my heart starts to race.
Finding my voice it's not easy to do,
if you can do this then so can I too.

I'm young I'm free
laurie Jun 2014
I'm young I'm free that's what I'm destined to be,
A free bird I flight high up onto a tree.
From tree to tree I fly around,
This life won't keep me tied or bound.
Freedom I have I'm as free as a bird,
This I express with every word.
I won't be ruled or caged by another,
A free bird I give thanks to my mother.
I'm young I'm free not always easy this is true
Being a free bird your true to the spirit in you.

Hard Times
laurie Jun 2014
Days go by your stuck in a depression,
Looking for better times trying to survive the recession.
Looking for work your at your wits end,
Driving you crazy your round the bend.
Days are dull you try to stay strong,
Hoping your luck changes sick of life going wrong.
You try and smile take it one day at a time,
Frustrated and angry you jot down a rhyme .
Clinging on waiting for that moment,
Not moving anywhere life's lying dormant.
Sick of the torture it's a real mental drain,
Life is not easy can be such a big strain.
Stick with your dreams one day they'll come true,
Only you can achieve them it's all down to you.

Inner Issues
laurie Jul 2014
Inner issues lead people to misuse,
selling their bodies, taking drugs they abuse
themselves they can't get no help their stealing off the shelves,
To survive in this life this crime is now rife,
young kids ruling the streets they're armed with a knife.
Inner Issues torturing peoples minds their trapped in this hell,
need a fix, looking for things they can sell,
to get through another day amongst this badness, you can see the real sadness in their eyes, you can hear their tortured cries.
They've become numb to this way,
I see it everyday, In the depths of their darkness I hear them pray,
for a better existence, you can feel their resistance to, change for the better from jail they write a letter, the rain is getting wetter.
Inner Issues their tortured by abuse, they can't call a truce to all of this abuse,
a slave to the devil, they're on a deeper level in this life they revel.

Have you ever
laurie Oct 2014
Have you ever had a situation where your feeling crazy? Left in this world alone things are looking hazy.


Have you ever felt secluded? Somehow you've gone deluded, in your mind someone has intruded.


Have you ever lost your way? Barely surviving through the day, at night you beg and pray.

Have you ever lost yourself or mistreated your own health?

Have you ever retrieved that something you once believed? Too much hurt you have received.


Have you ever found the light so bright it blinds your sight? It sparks the fire to fight.

Have you ever been in recovery? Your too shocked by your discovery.


Have you ever had that dark cloud? Inside your screaming so loud, trying to do yourself proud.

Have you ever lost the motion? Your hoping for a potion, or some magic kind of lotion to get control of your emotion.

Have you ever felt ok? Even if its just for one day you try to runaway.


Have you ever woken from your illusions? wrapped up in your scary delusions, you cant take anymore intrusions.

Have you ever felt numb? People treating you like you're dumb, is this the life that you've succumb?


Have you ever found strength where you'd go to any length? To come first not always tenth.

Have you ever been rejected? Your heart is now infected like a drug you've just injected.

Have you ever made a decision where you bleed from the incision? You've lost yourself and your vision.

Have you ever felt free? Given all that you can be there's a brighter future for me.

Love Me
laurie Jun 2014
Love me like a flower a smell that's sweet and pretty,
Love me through the good days laugh when I'm being witty.
Love me in the morning when I first awake,
Stripped of all the makeup a time when I'm not fake.
Love me through the hard times together we both cry,
Love me even more when we get back up and try.
Love me when I'm moody I'll always make mistakes,
Love me forever give it all your strength do everything that it takes.
Love me like you mean it in your kiss I can tell,
Love me on the bad days when we are fighting hell.
Love me truly with your heart that' is all I will say,
In return I'll love you back each and every day.

Grace yourself
laurie Sep 2014
Grace yourself  because it's not about wealth,
more importantly it's about your health.

Grace yourself because it's not about money,
It causes wars, you can't tell me this is funny.

Grace yourself  because it's a greedy game your in,
Look around there's nothing but sin.

The day that you left me
laurie Jul 2014
The day that you left me, oh what did I do that was wrong?
left me pregnant for another lady now it's time for me to be strong.

Carrying our child I'm feeling awfully scared,
you've walked out on us you've never really cared.

Counting down the days until our child is born,
my world has collided my heart you have torn.

What do I do now? How will I get over you?
don't want to believe these rumours, even though I know they're true.

Our son arrives your nowhere in sight,
I cradle our baby bring him close to me tight.

Suddenly they rush him away,
i cry in my pillow with each thought that I pray.

The doctors return a few hours later,
our baby didn't survive in the little incubator.

Shocked I can't breathe my mind is a blur,
angry by the thought of you being with her.

The day that you left my world was washed away,
wondering if our baby would be here, if I knew how to make you stay.

life
laurie Sep 2014
Life is like a yo-yo they like to say it's yolo,
In this world I'm feeling so low
Can't predict the future but what I do know,
There are places I need to go,
Got to write my own show,

Life is like Sims with emotions,
Stirred up in a cocktail of potions,
Searching in the deepest oceans,
Going through the different notions.

Life is like a roller coaster ride,
Make sure you wear it with pride,
From this life you can never hide,
You've got people on your side.

Life is like a tree deep rooted in the soil,
In this life you choose make sure you don't spoil, your chance to enhance let your haters boil.

Think about the way.....
laurie Jul 2014
Think about the way that we live today,
what we preach to our children, what we learn them to say.

Think about how we are spending most of our time,
working for a dollar selling for a dime.

Think about our families take a step back,
on every street people dealing out crack.

Think of our cities and how we rotate,
the people in charge leading the debate.

Think about our planet the damage we've done,
about the crimes, tragedies and the times that we've won.

Think of all the bad things, then think of all the good,
do what's right in life, do what you know that you should.

Think about the way that we live today ,
make positive changes that's all I can say.
laurie Sep 2014
If only for a moment, I'd stop to stare with care,

If only for a moment, true loves kiss we both would share,

If only for a moment, together we would dare,

If only for a moment, sometimes life it isn't fair,

If only for a moment, without you I cannot bare,

If only for a moment, my heart it would not tare.
Never let a moment grab a tight hold of you so that when its gone, you've lost what you had in seconds and you were too caught up in a moment to realise

I came
laurie Sep 2014
I came here for a new life,  came her for the change. I don't want to be the victim, feeling that I'm to blame.

I came here to be happy live life freely, came here to do this, I don't want to feel the shame.

So please don't hate me understand my reason,
Inside my hearts warm, it's the cold outside that is freezing.

I came here for my kids, to create the dream,
Came here to escape the sad things that I have seen.

I came here to be strong, to escape these dark places I have been.

So please, please understand, see it through my eyes, living in your world rapped around your lies.

I came here to live, I've given it my all,
Came here to witness, the rise or the fall

I came here to fight one day I will win,
Came here to be brave, to wash away the sin.

So please just let me be, this time away will do no harm, searching for that peace, the still, the warmth and the calm.

I just wanted to say
laurie Aug 2014
I just wanted to say I get how you feel,
your caught up in this nightmare, this **** it's crazy and real.

Your lost in the darkness the deep depths of despair,
these experiences are needed to help you with repair.

Caught up in a moment your world subsides around you,
feeling helpless and frustrated like there's nothing you can do.

I just wanted to say you have people around you who care,
in your moments of sadness, I'm sure they'll always be there.
