I want to run. Be free. Be the little girl they see in me, but plot-twist happen frequently, opening your eyes to things you didn't see. Burning the cheerful into your mind. If only I didn't once leave that behind. If I could return to those naive, fun days. But fun was out and sad was in, so I figured "well okay." I dived right in, singeing my skin, turning me to the pit. I was told, "don't follow your instincts", so I guess this is what I get. Now I sit alone, a pitiful lump of coal, as a dog without bone, or soccer ball with no goal. I'm heading to "God knows where" on a train called "Oopsy Days," and when I arrive, they will all be amazed. For I am the writer who will give them a story, for I am a lighter, and my flame gives me glory.

Ponder Woman
She could die any day. Just tip-toe away. But what would they say? They still say she's okay. ...They don't say "please stay." They cry when good men die. They cry when they are scared. They cry all the time. They cry here. They cry there. So why? Why? Why for her, they don't cry? Here she will fly between fire and sky, in an ocean her only air being devotion. Life&Death; her only notion. Is it bad to wish for a potion? A spell to make this spell go? She may try so-, but I just don't know. Why? Why? Why can't they see? The lost, the falling, she's calling she gives them a sign, she loses grasp of her life's line. Why? Why? Why don't they cry? Cry for her. Care for her! See her here! Please.. one tear. Suppress her deepest fear. Her pain is not mere. She WILL fall, if there is no bridge, between the buildings in her mind. She WILL tumble, down, if no one holds her hand, and she get's left behind. Save her. Savor her. For like this she will not last. Deprived of what she needs, internally she bleeds. Cry for just one day. Prove to her, she will be okay. Teach her, how to no be alone. Love her, don't leave her on her own. Cry Don't lie to her. Don't act so refined. She knows those lies, she isn't blind. And for once, just for once, when her thoughts have intertwined, I beg of you, I plead of you, no one leave her behind.

Don't Leave Her
The iron drips from my fingers. The man gives out a yell. The child launches, she launches at me. Sadly her launch had failed. I chuckled at her, with no pity. Her frightened face, what a laugh. The person she’s crying for isn't worth dying for. After all, he was a bad man. It’s funny, so funny, funny the fact. The fact, she thought if she grabbed my neck then, maybe, just maybe, maybe I’d die. I laughed again and finally, I gave out a sigh. “Poor child,” I said my voice left unchanged. “You misunderstood. I shouldn't be ashamed. Your idol has done so many bad things, now he’ll pay for his sins of adultery, in a place which this blind man cannot see. She fell to the ground befalling her tears. This was the end of her happy years. What? Did she think it was a fairy tale life? Reality is sharp, just like a knife. I laughed at the fact I took his life, with just one swing of my most dull scythe.

Death, The Reaper
Each day is a day like day had before I don't know if I can take anymore There's pain in my bones; Weak feeling and sore I question myself what this life is for Don't know what's ahead; Don't know what's in store As happiness hides behind a locked door The pressure, it builds to find it before The hourglass now has emptied what's stored The light from me left; Although I'm not sure If ever I had a light that was pure My soul's on death's bed; No hope of a cure The word's left unsaid; I'll always want more Waves lapping against the rocky beach shore Each time takes away; A heavenly chore Was true of my joy; A tunnel was bored Inside from my soul true self of me poured I ********** out myself like a ***** Each day is a lie that I can't afford I wish I was maimed; Insides had been gored I can not explain; Knight falls on his sword But I am no knight; More like one who's poor Been chewed up, discarded; Fruit with no core Tried sharing with you; A piece of me tore But know you disliked; Did nothing but bore This poem is not new; These words said before I've whined and cried too like those I deplore A task left to do; Must settle the score Each day starts anew; Be happy once more

Be happy once more
Love is complicated Love requires patience Love requires tolerance Love require  honesty Love requires sacrifices Love comes with trials Love comes unexpectedly It is involuntary Love hits us like a ton of brick It cause us to lose control It cause us to do strange things It cause us to constantly be around someone Constantly think of someone Love make us understand someone Love gives us hope Love give us courage Love make us happy Love makes us strong Love makes us weak Love makes us confused Love makes us complete Love is everything. We, are created to fall in love.

What is love?
She gives me the love inside her warm beating heart as a meaning of true love for me She gives me her whole heart Which I will always truly love her.

A Wonderful Principle (10w)
Soup from the great big garden and we canned it all just so helped to wear the weather through when the land was dressed in snow and checker lesson Saturdays with two lefties at the board you helped to teach me fairness when I lost, and when I scored you kindled my love of books and encouraged me to grow i learned the best ways to say yes and subtle ways to say HELL no while writing this I realized you're one of the few whom I can say if my young life was a fresh spun bowl your hands would be covered in clay i remember most the times we'd play and in the game of life, "I'm all in" since you happen to be [MY] grandma looks like this time I win but seriously, there is so much more to speak of but I have a life to live and I promise when I am done with it I'll have taught how a grandma gives.

How grandma gives
as poets thank the pain thank the sorrow for it gives you something to write about as poets don't take the beautiful moments for granted don't be afraid of happiness because that too is something to write about as poets appreciate everything life throws at you

as a poet
Life lives. Life dies. Life laughs. Life cries. Life gives up. Life tries. But life looks different through everyone's eyes.

We live our lives
I don't know whether im chasing a mirage I don't know what to do I don't understand which decision i should take To make him fall in love again Time is so cruel We were so good together I really don't know what happened Why he suddenly changed Im sure i did nothing wrong But still he is away I don't know why he is avoiding me I don't know what's the truth All i sense,he is with a karmic But i wonder that im the karmic Im so confused with his silence Once i wished to be his twin flame As i thought he was the one But now i don't know why i doubt Is this a nightmare i see Or is this the reality That he is betraying me?

More Beautiful (Haiku)
Faith makes faces shine Like crumpled tin sheets in the sunlight Gives the backing of Giants To those once considered meek And shows one's own ability to believe In all that ever could be Faith brings both warmth and luminosity To the cold, small, twisted mind of man
