I Give You My Word
-
Listen closely to what someone says
Then wait for what they do
For its only then that you will know
If the words they say are true

Give to them a chance to shine
And let them find their way
But hold them to their promises
Make them keep the words they say

Know that trust is not just given
That sometimes it must be earned
For a promise once it's broken
Make a person just feel burned

You can sit back and be quiet
Not let your voice be heard
But if you do then dont complain
When you get what you deserve

Listen closely to what someone says
Then wait for what they do
For it's only then that you will know
If the words they say are true

I'll Show You My Scars

I'll Show You My Scars

I'll show you my scars I've been hiding for so long

I'll tell you of all my pain and how it stung

I'll bleed out to you and you can watch me cry

Because eternally I watch myself die

I'm afraid though of all the judging you will do

Because I can never no if ones feelings are TRUE

I'm tired and weak gazing at the stars

As I unconsciously rub my scars

Thank You For Breaking Me

Thank You For Breaking Me

Thank you for breaking me
And making me
A better me

Thank you for hurting me
And making me
A stronger me

Thank you for shooting me
And making me
Bulletproof

Thank you for burning me
And making me
Fireproof

This is an older poem. Things have changed since then. But this poem is highly relative to a lot of people and I liked it well enough so I posted it.

Rules Of The Road/10 W

If your
expectations
are
in line with reality
no rejection.

All my little 10 W's are rules of the road, wish I had thought of it sooner.

LET GO AND LET GOD.!

A DECEIT LEADS TO HURT WHILE HURT LEADS TO HATRED WHICH BRINGS IN FORGIVENESS.

GOD WITH US.!

Leaves Cry (But The Roots Rejoice)

Leaves Cry (But The Roots Rejoice)

And after days and days
You might find this page
And this ink then dry
Might moisten your eyes

Like falling autumn leaves
I lilt for a while
And then show no grief
I don't need more time

And outside the moon is waxing
But inside my heart is waning
Everyone is leaving
And I am not complaining

:)
Sorry for the cryptic title.
