I was looking forward
To be in your arms again
But I guess things don't always go
How they are planned

But I always-look forward
To tomorrow
Because things happen-
Almost Instantaneously

The way you pulled me
Into you arms- that day
You put me in a trance

I can't wait to tell you
How much you mean- to me
When I am in your arms again
I will get the chance

My heart is breaking
With every step I take
What if- I turn out to be
Some big mistake

I never do-
Anything right
I am hanging on
With my very last might.

I am about to give up
And throw in the towel
But maybe it is the best I can do
At least for a little while

In summertime, our love is charming, like roses swaying in the breeze.
In wintertime, our love is warm- the embrace from head to toe.

If skies are blue, our love must be true- two people connected as one.

When spring flowers bloom, our love is playful, like green petals on a clover.
When autumn leaves fall, our love stands tall, shining bright from day to night.

From the day we met, til the day we die, our love will continue to delight. From season to season I will love you always! My one- my only love.

turn out the light
Her wrath is blinding me
bring on the night
save me from the monster... I used to be

let my true colors shine
put my life on the line
please don't let my mamma see
what her criticism does to me

I have spent all my life
trying to be that perfect angel
my momma raised me to be

but I threw that to the side
became what I wanted to be
but I should have listened to my mommas advice
being grown up is not what it is cracked up to be

3/4 cup of spiders
2 cups of blood
3 packages of worms (alive of course)
1 cup of toe nails
a dash of nose hair
5 pairs of recycled underwear
1 cup of green beans (un-cooked)
2 piles of dog crap
3 cups of toilet water

Order up

Dated for two months
Before we parted ways
I wanted to try something new
But I had no clue- what it would do to you.

You have stuck by me
For the past two years.
And here we are
Together again.
After all this time
I get to call you mine

After many broken hearts
We found our way
Into each others arms again

I don't want to lose you.
And we may be 13 hours apart.
But you will always have
A special place in my heart

One day
We will meet face to face.
And I will get to tell you-
That I love you everyday

my hearts being pulled-
in many different directions
piece by piece- it breaks

I wonder how I'm staying strong
how I survived for this long
I know that they deserve better
then me
and if that is the way this ends
then let it be

I'm in this battle
It is me vs. me
my heart points me towards something
then my head drags me back
into what might be reality

I can't take much more
my soul is soaring
but my body lays lifeless
on the floor

You marked a place in my heart
Ever since the very start
You have always known-
exactly what to say
When you knew that-
I wasn't having-
a great day

You are so talented
And I have been- so blessed
To have- you in my life
Someone to talk to
Although the night

You are family
The closest person to me
I just wanted to say- thank you
For everything that you do

history repeats itself over and over,
and this is where my emotions takeover,
I try to hide the facts,
I dont know when the other Tiffany will be back

pain,sadness,anger
they have me on my knees I surrender,
I regret most of my romantic past,
because Everytime I finish last

I cry myself to sleep at night,
Don't know if I'll be able to fight,
Love is weakness in my veins,
because Everytime it ends in flames


I wish someone could come to my rescue,
but then again that wouldnt be fair to you

but somehow my heart still aches for the food that it loves

I don't want anything for Christmas,
as long as people show happiness,
that will be just fine with me,
as long as there is a present under every child's Christmas tree

I don't want any child to be left behind,
baby you never know what you might find,
my biggest wish might come true,
because what am I without you

These days I live in depression
******* people off even though it wasn't my intention
Please mother f* tell me what to do
But dont cry if I dont listen because everything doesn't revolve around you

i spend everyday filling in missing pieces
giving lame and useless speeches
i work hard for what i get
my name is Tiffany dont you ever forget

I used to hide my face
felt like i was being replaced
now I stand my ground
and rarely do i back down

i met her about six years ago, she brings me up when i am feeling low, born to two different families, but i still consider you part of my family

we met at this beautiful place,many challenges we had to face,many things we had to cope, but that was all before we met at camp hope

each year something had went wrong, but you always remained strong, i love you my dear friend,i will be by your side to the very end.

Gazing over the ledge
I hear a splash
And something blue appears
Watch it swim by

Gracefully
And yet so natural
Not sure what I see
Is real

The sun glares down
Sweat drowns my face
As the dolphins put on a show
Then freely swim away

it was 6 at night,
dark, but I watched a fire ignite,
for he was by my side,
my thoughts I could finally let out of the inside

didn't pay attention to where we were going,
because the time was so outgoing,
we walked over 3 miles,
I wish we could have stayed for awhile

he walked me home
I am no longer afraid of the un-known
he hugged me tight
his presence was the highlight of my night

I'm feeling so much better
Now that I can call you mine
I can't get you- off my mind
You are the #1 contender

Nah.. I'm just kidding
You are the only one that is-
On my mind

Suprised that you like me
Because there is no such thing as guarantees
If you were to see my past
You would see what I mean

But I've never been so certain
About this thing we call "love"
But I'm pretty sure
That you are my angel sent to me-
From above

people snooping around,
won't stop until bombs hit the ground,
always in someone's business,
I just hope they will keep their distance

I am tired of the drama,
they will meet my friend karma,
taking their anger out on my friend,
soon it will meet its end

leave them alone,
I can handle this on my own,
step up to the plate,
and say what you want to say before it is too late.

3 words you said to me. "I hate you,"
What did I even do?
I stopped talking to you so you could stop with the *******,
Oh but you didn't like that.you threw a fit

i put it in the past,
Haters will always finish last,
Not gonna waste my time giving you a direct reply
because sweetie you waste precious time

we all cared about you
Joe, Nathaniel, and me too
The tears i cried while you messed with my mind
maybe it is time I left you behind

before I say goodbye, there are a few things I'd like to say..
but Please dont take things, the wrong way..
im going to miss you, some less than others..
the sky is filled with fog, and soon my presence will show radiant colors

[Parts for Joe]
i promise i won't forget you
i wouldnt be able too
just stay strong
if things are to go wrong
and know that i love you
and when i come back you'll be to my rescue
with your arms out wide
i cant wait for you to hold me tight

[for Nathaniel]
i forgot what love is until i met you
Everytime u say i love you, i say i love you too
when i was in your arms
i felt like i was in no harm
but we switched companions
and now that's to everyones attention
if i have kids, you will be their god father
you'll be a needed extra layer

[for Mavee]
my big bro
have you thought about going pro
slashing me with your life savor
hey where's that training waver
but hey seriously ill miss you
dont ask me how much i have no clue
Please take care of yourself
as i know you wish that upon me too
i love you

[for Jasmynn ]
our fights will never change
the strong friendship we made
i know i was a pain in your ***
but i have one last request
while im gone take care of them
because we are all friends
now take care
and remember things are never how they appear

I am on top of the world
There is no way you can break me-
Down
You are never going to see me- Frown

I will be standing-
With my two feet on the ground
I will be the only soldier
Left on the battleground

Sweat and tears,
A little blood-
Never hurt no-one

This time- I'm not afraid
To get a little *****,
To make you look like a fool

Make you choke on the words
As you say them
Because there is no-
Stopping me now

On the verge
Of bankruptcy,
My blood-
Dark Red
Splattered
Across the
Hard wood
Floor

I don't know
If I can take anymore
Of this pain
Blood shot-
Eyes

If only my book
I could
Revise
But every second
A part of me
Dies

If only I could spend
My last moment
Alive-
Seeing you
Look into my dead
Lifeless eyes

a guy
I thought, I knew
but it turned out-
that I never had a clue

thought that we
could stitch up
the broken pieces
but who was I kidding?

glad we
moved on
you were-
the reason
things went so wrong

and

it was time for you-
to get gone

He's got you high on a pedestal
Too bad you aren't faithful to him

You are using him -
To get to me

You've got him wrapped around your finger

But who do you think you're fooling?

You are using him to get to me

But I've got bad news
It's not going to happen
Because
I'm so over him

So stop trying
To use him
To get to me

I'm disappointed
You are throwing your life away
I'm disappointed
But I'd try to help you
Only if you
Promised- to meet me half way

You thought that
It would make you look so "cool"
But instead you got busted
And now you look like a fool!

Yeah I know that
You are a "victim" of peer pressure
But you have a brain
And you should have known better

I hope you get the chance
To turn your life around
Because I know that your future
Could be so bright
But first you must know the difference
Between what is wrong and what is right

And promise to change the way you have lived your life,
This very night

My relationship is
Slowly falling apart
No matter how hard I try
Things never turn out right

They tend to crumble
Then fall

I can’t keep doing this
I keep telling myself
That I am fine

But in reality I’m just
Getting by
One step
At a time

I don’t regret
My decisions
I just want things
To change

But they just haven’t
And he has known
That it has bothered me
For this long

But I am trying
To remain strong

Not going to let this lobe
Just slip away
I am not going to watch
Him walk away

No words to explain,
what poetry is in anyway,
the thought trapped inside,
you are the only one that knows the reason why

Poetry comes from the heart,
it is a unique piece of art,
Different than another,
Poetry un-wraps what is hidden underneath your cover.

your heart was once sealed
kept behind a metal shield
until something beautiful came into your life
it is the reason you are still alive

music gives you what words cannot
and for some reason- my heart it caught
how it relates to your situation
it united all the nations

and to know someone else is going through the same thing
oh how it can be so comforting
and when things go wrong
just sit and sing a blissful song

I place this kiss
Upon your cheek
For I never know
When we -will next meet

When we met
I melted
as the sun shined through

I was cool under pressure
Until I met you

Choking me
Until the day I die
While others just sit back
And stand by

My soul is being pulled
Down a  dark tunnel
Which goes on forever
Until i reached
The final destination

Death

I have this picture of you
Sitting right in front of my face
I can't believe -what happened-
just yesterday

I thought that-you cared
You told me not to worry
I thought that you were sorry
But I guess that's just another reason
Why I was so scared

I'm so tired
Of all the stupid games
That you  have been playing

I thought that you really wanted
To be
with me again
But I guess I was just stupid

That i never caught the red flag

sam: never feeling afraid and alone,
         in this world of the un-known,
         I find trust in you, and a home,
         in this new world I am shown
me:  when I go to sleep at night,
         I have only one thing on my mind,
         how lucky I am to have you,
         after everything that I have been through
sam: the future will be faced together,
         and I will go through it with you- forever,
         your heart is safe with me,
         this love is pure and will always be
me:  I can not imagine life with out you,
        because life is not so easy,
        when you have to face it on your own

Stuck in the last chapter
people looking around thinking,"what happened to her?"
Living in the past
you won't be getting anywhere fast

shoot for the stars
don't take things too harsh
live life with no regrets
don't worry life eventually resets

life is like a song
it plays on and on
except in life dont hit replay
things will always go the same way

Don't take another step backward
I'll be at your side pushing you forward

The things that you do for love,
Because you think that they are your angel from above,
Do things you would never do before,
afraid that if you didn't they'd show you the door

Because of love you could survive,
With-out it you would take your life,
And it is sad that it would happen because of love

But sometimes there will be risks
Sometimes you will think that life is fixed,
But love is worth it because you can cope,
And with love there is always hope

I can't wait to be in your arms at night
Kiss with every goodbye
Can't wait to look in your eyes and say
That I want to be with you every day

The day when you get down on one knee
And slip on a ring
Will be the best day for me
The day my soul was set free

Thank you for everything
You mean everything to me <3

It would be best
To go- our separate ways
And if- I didn't know better
I would ask you to stay

All we were doing...
Was living- in the past
I should have known
We'd never last

As I sit here- all alone
I am left- to wonder
About the unknown
And try- to find my way
Back Home.

We continue
To live in a sexist world

It does not matter
What any college,  scholarship commitee, or employer says

They are
Always trying to
Improve the ratio
To make it seem
More appealing

But really
We are being
Discriminated against
And cheated
Out of various positions

It shouldn't matter
If I am a male or female
As long as I have
The qualifications
To do my job

I am tired
Of this oppression

I am capable of
Everything and anything
As long as I
Put my heart into it

The walls I built
Inside my head
A reminder
Of all the things that made me mad

Lack of confidence
Lack of trust
To succeed
Those two things are a must

I will
Out grow my shell
And move to
A bigger hell

Growing up
In a small town
Where everyone knows
Who you are and where you come from

Your childhood friend
Becomes your worst enemy
As you reach-
The middle school years

As you enter high school
You become defined by your "clique"
Not as the individual
You have spent so long
Building yourself up- to be

But once you get out
Into the real world
It only matters
What you think of yourself.

it is blowing in my face
it used to be my favorite place
im sitting here watching it burn to nothing
it used to save me from cussing

it was in my sight than i watched it disappear
my reflection was scorning me though the mirror
i try to face it each day
some other way

the smell still makes me linger
it takes not much more than a finger
i dont want to go back to that summer night
trying to get my cigarette to light

Our bodies were close to touching;
but to some that means nothing,
he looked in my eyes,
and I quickly realized that time easily flies by

this weekend wouldnt have been the same,
if their wasn't a flame,
got his digits on Friday,
we were bestfriends on Saturday

as we walked and talked about our latest regrets,
and told eachother about the times we thought we were done,
but now we collide as one

sentences we could not finish on our own,
the other finished,and we knew we were never alone

I look out to the world afraid to show my face,
I'm afraid of what dreams I'll decide to chase,
I tap my feet and my hands shake
I feel like being here in front is a big mistake

my voice starts to fade
knowing that I'm afraid
I wish I could hide behind a wall
there I would be able to tell it all

there I'd be able to say what i needed to say
and my feelings wouldnt get in the way
after I am done i pretend everything is okay
till another day

Pushed up hard against the glass,
wish you had time to react, it just happened all too fast,
getting hurt left and right,
you feel weak because you can't stand up and fight

too afraid to seek some help,
because you are afraid that the word will get out,
now show them punks what you are all about,
and this time- you won't be afraid to shout

stand up for who you are,
because in life that will get you far,
don't back down and lose that fight,
know that I will be by your side until I know that everything will be alright

I'm broken
over the words you have spoken
you have shut my lights off tonight
but now your trying to make things right

I'll never ever forget
all the secrets you have kept
now just stay away from me
if you're going to lie than this just isn't meant to be

I'd rather be homeless
and be told im useless
than to be lied right to my face by someone who i thought was my friend
our friendship i refuse to defend

so tonight the night i say goodbye
claiming that you're the good guy
id rather die
than to keep hearing all these lies

I slit my wrists

Trying to bleed out
Trying to mask
The pain

And I know
That he wouldn't

Want it
any
other way

He wanted to see me suffer
To see the look
On my face

I'm going insane

Hey y'all
I'm going insane

And it is sad

That he got wanted

He sent me to suffer

Through this pain

All alone
And
We just got off the phone

Tears drown my face
But when I'm in school
I tried to hide the pain
