Her beauty lights up my life
Her personality brightens my soul


Dark and scary my life was
Then she came along


Now joy flows in mighty waves
Drowning out my darkest days

Her hair
Her smile
Her touch
Things I remember

Her energy
Her passion for life
Her loving heart
Things I remember

On that day
Your life was taken away
It broke my heart

Cancer stole you from me
Life is such a ***** sometimes

Your strong spirit
Your drive to excell
Your soul
Just beautiful you

Hey funny man
Why do you look so sad
You're up there laughing and carrying on
It don't look like you've got it that bad

Hey funny man
Why the tears
What has caused you to cry
It hurts to see you this way
Please get past the hurt and the pain
Please come out to play

Hey funny man
Is the a secret that you hide
Something in your past
That took away your smile

Or was it something during the show
That has taken it's toll
By leaving you sad like this

Well I got to go
I hate seeing you sad though
So long my friend
Hope things get better

Hey funny man
Up there dancing and clowning around
Hey funny man
With painted face, baggy clothes, and large shoes

But
When the show's over
The makeup and the costume removed
The person the audience doesn't see

A man of deep sparrow
A man of gloom
A past that haunts him
Sadness and doom

Hey Tony
This is your desk chair
Get up man I can't breathe
Also watch those chilies
That was a bad ****
You ripped off earlier
I'll be smelling that one
For a month at least

Hey Tony
This is your computer
Nice love poem you typed up
Is it for me
I know you computer boys
Like computers with big gigs

Hey Tony
This is your stove
Somethings burning in here
Dude I'm throwing up smoke here
Get in here and turn me off
Before the house burns down

Hey Tony
This is your bed
Dude I swear if you talk in your sleep
I will choke you with the covers
Or smother you with a pillow
Your keeping me up at night

You may have to dig deep down inside
To that place your true self hides
You will find your treasure there
The worth of which there is no compare

You never know how much you're worth
Like a hidden treasure deep in the Earth
But once discovered you shall see
There is so much worth to thee

Once you discover the treasure you hide
00Spread your wings and fly
Hold your true self don't let it go
Only then can you truly start to grow

You hide I seak.  Face the tree count to ten, then sound the call," Ready or not here I come".  Oh where oh where are we hideing, behind the car, to easy.  Behind the bush, worth a look.  ****, he was behind the car, the chase is on.  we race toward base, both red in the face.  I want to tag him however he made it, he's safe.  This time I hide and you seak.  Alight Tony, I will start countimg, you go hide.   "Ready or not here I, AAAHHHH!  Tony what are trying to do give me a heart attack, standing behind me like that.  Dinner time need to go in, have a good evening, see you tommarow my friend.   See you tommarow as well, by the way Tony, Never do that again.  Noted

Let me hold your hands
Let me draw you near
Dry your eyes
Calm your fears
Let you know
That I care

Home
Where the cattle roam
Home
Fixing feance all day long

Living on a farm
Has a speacial charm
That really makes it the life to live
Family dinners
Fishing in the pond
BBQs
And much much more

Home
Hauling hay
Home
Mowing grass
Or chasing a cow
That's gone stray

Watching your kids play
Catch fireflies at night
Laying in the yard
Looking up at the stars

Home
Home grown fruits and vegitables
Straight from the garden
Home
Hayrides and bonfires
In the fall

County fairs
Family outings
All this make the country life
HOME

Homemade ice cream on a hot summer day
So mouthwatering creamy goodness
Enjoying it while on the porch
Best way to enjoy the
Summer heat outside
Homemade ice cream
Shared with all
Lots of fun

Hot chocolate
On a cold winter day
Hot chocolate
Toe warm the soul

How do you say goodbye to a dear friend
Someone you laughed with
Someone you cried with
You made memories together


How do you say goodbye to a good friend
Someone like family
Someone closer than family
You had fights
You made up
You hated each other
You became friends again


How do you say goodbye to a good friend
A pal
A companion
A heart of gold
With a devilish smile


How do you say goodbye to an old friend
Someone you grew up with
Someone you knew your whole life

How do you say goodbye to an old friend

I love you like that of a galactic starry sky
My love for you rockets out of sight
You keep me staring for the sight is more than I can take
Like the flower of a rose
I fear if I move this image will break and be lost forever
I do not wish to loose you
For if ever I do I will surely die
Or at the least my heart will be ****** into a black hole from which there is no escape

I love you like a patriot loves his home land
Let the enemy come let them fight their war.
My love shall remain
My heart pounds with the sound of the canon
The rifles are the sound of my footsteps
Running for you to make sure all is right
My love shall never fail
My love shall never fall
For you my love has no strings attached
There is no medal won in battle that compares with you
For you are worth so much more than these

I love you like that of a rose
You are the sweetest thing that I have ever known
You are like a rare gem, you are priceless to behold
I am stunned by your beauty, I am unable to take my eyes off you
I am caught forever in your spell
Lost forever to the world around me
Nothing else matters when you are around
My heart longs to know you
My soul longs to be near you
I long forever to hold you in my arms
For there is no other that could fill this space in my life
There is no other who my will so bends to

How many times
Have I thought about killing myself
How many times
Have I thought about ending it all
How many times
Has that dark angel visited me

Time and time again
The anguish
The pain
The utter emptiness
That is life
Has almost shattered me

My tears fall
Like acid rain
Tearing me apart
Ripping me to shreds

Rise up now
Stand up for your self
Stand up for humanity

Show them that we live
Show them we are not robots

We live
We laugh
We learn

We are not programmed

We are not machines
We are human

we have feelings
We have thoughts
That are our own

Though humanity is becoming a rare thing
The machines are rising
Taking over our jobs
Taking over our lives

We need to stand up now
OR
Humanity will be lost forever

A sea of hurt
Wells up within me
Wave after wave
Of pain crashes within my soul

I sit with my head in my hands
Crying an ocean of tears
Life has hit me
Has hit me hard
Feel I will be torn apart

I sit with my head in my hands
Feeling shame
People laughing at me
People calling me names
Why must some be so mean
Why must they hate me so

I am not strong enough
I need the Lord
To take my hand

I am not strong enough
I need the Lord
To restore my spirit

I am not strong enough
I need the Lord
To reset my will

Without Jesus
I am nothing
For
Jesus is
My rock
My shelter
My all

Without Jesus
My life is worthless
For only through Jesus
Does my life have purpose

I am who I am
Not who you want me to be
I am who I am
No excuses
No holding back
I just Am

I have fought Day after day
To find my own way
My own identity
My true self
I have done a lot of soul searching


After all this I have come to grips
With who I am
I have realize my self worth

I am who I am
If you can't handle that
Who needs you

I am the kind of person who
When you throw me to the wolves
I’ll return leading the pack

I am the kind of person who
When sent to fight the enemy
Will return with his enemy’s head held high
Screaming a victory chant

I am the kind of person who
You can’t shut down
You can’t shut up
No matter how hard you try

I am the kind of person
With no filters
What you see

Is what you get

I am a friend
Someone you can rely on
My Loyalty will never bend

I am an adventurer
Seeking places unknown
Traveling to the corners of the Earth
Before heading back home

I am a lover
Passionate and true
Pouring out my heart and soul
And giving it all to you

I am a soldier
Though I fight a defferent war
My mind and my emotions
Are the battlefield
My spirit gets torn

I am a fighter
I will defend myself
I will defend those I care about

I am a solder
Though I fight a different kind of war

Day by day my inner demons come
Marching in line
Banging their drums
Flags waving
Acting proud
Ready to tear this poor man down

Day by day
I fight
I can't let them win
Each day's a victory
Or sometimes a loss
Upon the waves of desturction
My emotions get tossed

I know if I continue fighting
If I never back down
That in the end
I shall win

I am a solder
Though I fight a different kind of war

I am broken
No, shattered
Like a mirror
Splintered into a million pieces

I call out of loneliness
The world turns away
leaving me in the cold darkness
Shattering any hopes and dreams
Of ever fitting in

I do not wish to be a loner
I want to have friends
I want to belong
The world however destroys those dreams
Time and again

Splintered like a mirror
Millions of me
Sad
Lonely
Depressed
Why go they not let me in
Why do the shut me out
My emotions
My thoughts
Shattered into millions of pieces
Looking for one gentle heart
To take this broken soul
To make it whole

I am that I am
Nothing more
Nothing less

I am free to travel life’s pathways
To journey to the unknown
To enjoy each footstep
As I walk the path of life

I live for the adventure of it all
To take on what life brings
To meet the challenges of each day
To not back down

I am free to love
To share my emotional state with another
To share compassion
To be one with those around me

I am human
I reach for the highest plains of humanity
I am one with the deepest regions of the soul
My truest self
In all ways
In all forms
In all types

I reach for the goal
However I fall short every time
I try and I try
I still do not succeed
If I never give up
No matter how much I want to
I will one day reach the top

All the pain
All the joy
All the sorrow
All the fun
I am not perfect
Yes at times I mess up
However
If I learn from my mistakes
I am better for it

I am limited by this body
In what I can and can not do
I am limitless in my imagination
So I can do all things
The power of the mind
The power of the body
When they work together
Anything can be done

I Am Human

I am not
A puppet on a string
Here for your amusement
I do not
Nor
Will not
Dance to your whim

I am nothing
No
Less than nothing
Is that really possible
If so
Maybe I am something
I guess that would be
One of a kind

I am proud of who I am
I am proud of what I’ve accomplished

No the road has not been easy
No I do not like the person I was

But

All that mess
All that pain
All that suffering
All the joy
Friends lost
Friends gained
Every aspect of my life

Has made me who I am
And

I am proud of that

I am the Alpha-wolf
Leader of my pack
Leader of me family
Protecter of those I care about

I am the hunter-wolf
Providing all the need around me
Providing for those who can not hunt themselves
Giving nourishment
Giving hope
Giving life

I am the freak
Bleed me
Destroy me
Burn my soul if you want
I can not change who I am
All I wanted was a friend
However
You all shun me
You all turn away

I am the freak
But
I am human
I have feelings
I have emotions
I fall in love
So even though I am a freak
I am not much different than you

I am the freak
Peirce my side
Make me bleed in great waves
You can destroy my body
but
My spirit
My soul
Can not be destroyed

I am the freak
Though I get laghed at
Though they throw their mud
I still dream
I still aspire
To better myself
To better those around me

I am the freak
You all have pointed that out
Though
You do not know my story
You do not know my background
You call me a freak
You know nothing about me

I am the freak
Though you laugh
Though you throw your mud
I will go on
For I have better things to do
Than standing here
listening to your ****

I am the poet with my words
I can rip out the very fabric of reality
I can replace it with what I choose
Destroy one’s own ideas of life itself
Encourage one’s faith in GOD
Or make them face their darkest demon
I can crumble the government

With my words
I can bring two lovers together
Explain the mysteries of the universe
Let them know pain exists
That they are not alone in how they feel
Shine a light within this dark world

With my words
I can bring joy or cause pain
Calm fears and dry tears
Make friends

I am the poet
I am the poet

I am who I am
You may not like me
But that's ok
You are entitled to that

However
I will not change who I am
Just to be liked by you
You either accept me or you don't
That choice is yours

I am who I am
I am a strong willed person
With opinions and ideas
That may not agree with yours
So be it

Just because we don't agree on somethings
Doesn't mean we can't be friends
As long as we respect each other
A friendship can grow
If however you wish to not be friends
So be it

From the mountain tops of life’s joys
To the dark firey pits of life’s hell
We will go together

I am your brother
I am your friend
I am here to help you
In whatever way I can

I don’t care how long the journey
I don’t care how rough the rough
No matter what life throws at us
Together we will go

When you feel you will stumble and fall
Lean on me wden you need to
Draw strength from me when need to
I will help you through it all

I don’t care if you drag me down with you
In an emotional whirlpool
Together we will find the strength to swim
Together we will find the strength to fight

Together we will find the strength to overcome

I believe in
God the father almighty
Creator of Haven and Earth
I believe in
Jesus Christ his son my Lord
I believe in
The Holy Spirit
The keeper of life
The constant reminder of
God’s love and mercy

I believe
In myself
In the power within my heart
The spirit within my soul
I believe
Nothing is impossible
All can be done
All can be achieved
As long as
I set my mind to it

I believe
In humanity
Both in goodness
As well as destruction
I believe
The human spirit

I believe
In love
I believe
In the uncharted realms of life
The truth that lies within
The desire of the heart

I believe
In true love
I believe
In true passion
I believe
In the eternal calling
That is within the human soul

I can't breathe
All your rules and regulations
Suffocate me

I can't breathe
You have got a strong hold
Please let me free

Society closes in
Traps you
To be one way or the other
Society closes in
Squeezes out your life
To conform you
To take away your humanity
To turn you into a mindless drone

Ice cream sundae
Ice cream sundae
What a tasty treat
Best way to beat the Summer heat

Ice cream sundae
Ice cream sundae
Piled high
To the sky

A flavor mountain
Of tasty goodness
Ice cream
Hot fudge
Carmel syrup
Whipped cream
Nuts

Ice cream sundae
Ice cream sundae
A flavor ****
in your mouth

I cry for lonliness
I cry in pain
I cry because the world has gone insane

I cry out for freedom
I cry out for joy
I cry out to every girl and boy

I cry I shed tears
Both in pain and in fear
Sometimes tears are shed for Joy
These are tears to not avoid

I cry out to be heard
Joyful singing
Or just to spread the word
To sound a call

For one and all

I cry for my sins
I cry for my mistakes
But
I don’t just cry for myself

I cry for the insanity of the world
I cry for senseless killing death and decay
The child hungry and scared
Living in the streets with no where to go

I cry for the abused
Those who get beat up
Beaten into a ****** lump
By those who were supposed to love them
By total strangers just looking for a good time

I cry for the corruption of others
Police
Military
And others
Who find it easier to do what is wrong
Just to make a quick buck

I cry for polititions
Who continually lie to the American public
Who constantly look out for their own interests
Instead of listening to the American people

I cry for our school children
Who time and time again can not get the education they need
To help them prepare for the future
To help lead successful lives

I cry for
Crime
Gangs
Turf wars
Making the inner cities unsafe
Making  America unsafe

I cry for our military
And for lose who gave thier all
And sacrificed everything
So freedom could remain

I cry for those who can not cry themselves
I cry for those without a voice

So thier needs may be heard

I cut myself daily
Mentally
Physically
Emotionally


The physical cuts
Watching the healing flow of blood
Pour from my veins
Cleansing my soul


The emotional cuts
Never thinking I’m good enough
Calling myself stupid
Trying and failing
Time and again
Feeling lost
Feeling afraid
Feeling unwanted


The mental cuts
My mind bringing up things from the past
Laughing and taunting of bullies
Being yelled at
Being rejected
Getting beat up
Things that happened years ago
Put the mind can not
Nay
Will not forget


I cut myself daily
Mentally
Physically
Emotionally

I didn't choose poetry
It chose me

When the world needed a voice
I was chosen
When the lost and hurting
Needed to cry out
I was chosen

Like my brother and sister poets before me
I speak for those without a voice
I comfort the hurting
I bring joy to the sad

I didn't choose poetry
It chose me
I accept

I die a little
Every time we part
A part of me
Fades away to nothing
As I suffer from a broken heart

I love her
She doesn't even know I exist
When I am around
She looks through me
Like I am not even there

I try to show my affection
She laughs
Like it's a joke

Why do I love her so
Why do I put myself through this

I love you
More than my own life

I love you
I cherish the ground
Upon which you walk
My life means nothing
Without you

I love you
More than you will truly understand

I love you
I love you
I love you


How can I be more plain
How can I make you see more clear


I’ve tried
And
I’ve tried
Everything I know
To let you see
How much you mean to me


You are my life
The very air I breathe
The very water that I drink


Without you
There is no life for me
Only darkness and decay
Only bitterness and hate


You are my stronghold
My safe haven
From life’s stormy blasts
From life’s battles


I love you
I love you
I love you

I love you with my heart and soul
I love you with depths untold
So
Why do you run away
Chasing after guys who just want to play

I love you
I hope you know
I have tried my best
But still feel I have failed

I love you
Those words may sound shallow
But they ring true

I have tried
And
I have tried
To show you how much you mean to me

You never seem to notice
You walk on past
Like I'm not even there

The invisable man
That's all that I am

I love you
I hope you know

I love you
I don't understand it
I just do

You just want to be friends
I am cool with that
But
My heart
Grows stronger and stronger
With love for you

Before I met you
Before you entered my life
It was dark and dreary
You have opened my heart
You have lit up a spark
To warm the coldness within me

No one else
Has touched my life so
Now that I  have you
I don't want to let you go

You just want to be friends
I agree
But my heart will always long for thee
