Rise Above

No time to tlak
Its time to walk
Let's see you do something
Live somemore
Just like the poor
Or rule just like a king

Time to take control of your life
And stop complaining about your strife
Do something to make the world go 'round
No matter what the cost
Because others may get lost
And depend on you to be found

Be Myself

I can as I may But I will never be able to say That I am normal. It just seems too formal. Everyone is a bit wacky Some are totally tacky. But while some are too serious, Others are furious. I am glad to see There are no others like me. I am totally unique, Different things my interests pique Then other ‘normal’ people. I will always be myself, Cool as a cucumber, pretty as a flower Or freaking out, while others cower. Oh, I will be myself!

ARGH!

When you go through those things, like me You wish that you never again have to see But others ask you to stay And to help them out, I must pay I help those who help others Who help fellow sisters and brothers But soon I will fall back under And my steps will go asunder I will stay to help my friends Even if my life ends I will not rest, until I know That it is safe for me to go

poetry

Back to School (2006-2007)

now we're back at school
teacers are being a little cruel
checking out new classes
mingling with the masses
catching up with friends
as the summer slowly ends
not all look very happy
because some classes are quite crappy
but we will live on
even when the excitement is gone
all labels, from nerds to cool
are there, on the first day of school

I Try

I try to cry, but there is no tear
I try to scream, but no one can hear
I try to do well, but I just create fear
I try to do right, but I have no luck
I try to care, but no one gives a f***
I try to be nice, but that doesn’t well truck
With those who hate me
With those who never see
Their frail attempts to make the world how they want it to be
Though no one understand what I go through
I always try to stay true
All that talk makes my face blue
Because I have a monster inside
One I have always tried to hide
But I slowly start to confide
That is who I am
As the door to my heart closes with a slam
I finally don’t give a damn
Once all the kindness fell
Everyone will be able to tell
Like the clear tone of a bell
That life will be much worse
Because of my curse
Will slowly roll, like a hearse
Dampening and destroying lives.

Help!

I have felt
Like I was shot
And felt like
In a trap I was caught
I was in
A lot of pain
And couldn’t find
Any gain
I wanted to die
Even had the rope
But then you taught me
How to cope
You dragged me
From my hole
And taught me that
People still have a soul
You gave me
All the confidence
To tear down
The high black fence
I had put
Around my mind
Even though
I was about to find
A way that
I could die
You helped me
To live and try
To survive
My horrible life
You showed me
That in all that strife
That some good
Will still prevail
That even though
Some people may fail
There is good
If you look hard
This you have taught
To this young bard
Though I know what
You did was free
I wish there was some way
To repay thee

Ex-Friend

There was a hope
However steep
That our friendship
We could keep.
But at this time
I’m going to guess
That because of
All this mess.
We can’t talk anymore
Thanks to some adult,
Though, why only in me
Do they find all the faults?
But now I don’t know
What I am going to do,
You kept me on the right path
But then my soul you slew.
I was hoping that
Things would get better,
Though now I see that I
Am held by the chain and fetter
Of what I have done.

I Thought

i thought that you were a friend, that you would be there to the end. but now i realize it did not good, just harm. now i sob quietly while blood roles down my arm. its crimson beauty a harsh outline against my pale flesh. nothing is fine. i lie to everyone when they ask if i am ok. i hide behind a smiling mask. now a quick death is all i hope for for each beat of my heart makes it hurt even more. i trusted you with all my life with all my happiness and all my strife. but now i hope to take my trust back, before on it you can make another attack, and finally break through to release the evil behind the shield i put up. i dont want it to fulfill its true mission: to turn me into a beast that will force me to feast on the suffering i will cause if it is allowed to grow because it will slowly overthrow my good person though i think its all i deserve.

Always Your Friend

As I sit here And read what you write I read your words With a little fright Because your poems Are just…so…. Forgive me for this…. Just so EMO You write of sadness You write of pain You write of love That was held in vain I don’t know why You cannot see What is all around, or are you afraid Of what it might be? We will always be there We are your shield We will retaliate swiftly And never yield We are always ready To comfort and protect you We are ready to help All the way, through and through To the end. We are always here So that you will not Have any fear.

Your Protector

When I talked to you And I found out you were sad, My heart went out to you And I was mad. When you started crying, I knew something was wrong. But to find out what happened Didn’t take long. How could someone Do this to you? If they break your heart, They break mine too. I heard you were threatened Now I’ll try to get them back, And I will be your solid defense If they try to attack. I am ready to be There at your side If you ever need Somewhere to hide. I will protect you whenever I can My strength I will lend Because you truly are A precious friend.

Love's Sweetness

I am surprised When I can hear You whispering In my ear A song of Love’s sweetness I love to hear Your sweet voice It will never Be some noise But more like A choir of angels Your touch is like The flower of a rose You save me From all worldly foes And you give me A purpose to live I wish more Where just like you Because then the world Would be perfect too I write here Of love’s sweetness

Happy Poem

We were created by God
To be free
But then Satan led us
Into slavery
Then Jesus Christ
Died for us.
I don’t know why
Some people make a fuss
At this.
Why can’t they see
That God had
Meant this to be
A good thing.

Broken Heart

You broke my heart Yeah it’s for sure I don’t know why But I keep comin’ back for more Why is it You hate me, When it’s only my love I let you see? I silently bear All of my pain But my tears flow Like a heavy rain. If the cause of all Of your trouble is me Then it is I You will never again see. I will remove myself From your life And from any others To whom I cause strife. I would just like To say goodbye, Be fore I am gone, Before I die.

A Cruel Joke

You thought it was such a riot While I sat there very quiet I knew it was a laugh you sought, But I know you never thought. What it was like for me to sit And watch you in a laughing fit. You all thought I was stupid, And that I acted like a kid, But did you ever think it was me That had the “problem”, A.D.D. You thought that I was dumb And feelings, hey I was numb But now I sit and think And wait for it to sink That all the fun and games All those really painful names Any chance you got you took But did you ever take a look? But did you ever think to see That I really have A.D.D.

A Few Different Poems

Falling Away On the dark cliff Over wild seas He hates everything Except his girlfriend He closes his Eyes and jumps While his girlfriend looks away Falling love In the world On the land There is a man who Waits on the sand For the one His precious love To ask her into marriage Shells In the forest Amongst the trees The jaguar waits For the hunter it sees To move away When suddenly He is seen

Three Little Words

Those three little letters That everyone hates. It’s just something That never abates, Those three little letters That brings lots of dread, It seems like three BIG letters That makes you toss in bed. Most people think That it is a curse. Others don’t know how Life can get worse, But I look upon it As a blessing. Is it just me? Or am I guessing? Nobody likes those three little letters A.D.D Those huge iron fetters. Now do you see what I mean?
