Little Girls

I wrote this next one after watching & listening to so much drama in our pods. It was pretty sad & pathetic actually, but the truth of it is; it's all very real on the outside too. It was just more concentrated on the inside with no where to get away from it.



Little Girls



Over eight-teen and grown

We know the rules

Taught how to act

Please, excuse me, & thank you

Common sense, respect, &…

People

People



Men cheat

Women lie

Bashing one another

Racist and ignorant

It's easy to point the finger

There's good and bad in us all

No one's perfect

It's easy to remember the past

To remain bitter

And hard to open up and trust

It's not men or women

Not black or white

Not the young and naive or the old and jaded

Not the rich or the…

Beautiful Dreamer

Beautiful Dreamer



Beautiful dreamer

Sound Asleep

A smile plays on your lips

At peace with the world

What are you dreaming of tonight?

I wish I could see inside your mind

So I could know your thoughts

The complexity of one's mind is astonishing

Even a glimpse might explain so much

Or maybe it'd confuse me even more

So many part of you remain a…

Little Boys

And then I figured I'd write one for the boys :P



Little Boys



Grown men don't cry

So many boys are made to learn

Respect your elders and never hit a woman

Though some are poorly taught

And then treat other how they were brought up

But as a general rule

People are taught to treat others the way they want to be treated



Flashing those muscles

So macho and…

Music



I feel a dance coming on

The bass is amplified in my brain

Surround sound

Humming the melody to myself



*Chorus*

No matter what my mood is

Music sets me at ease

Complicated beats

Or soothing melodies

Play it, play it for me



Turn the radio on

Oh yeah, it's playing my favorite song

I'm smiling and singing along

Music, it's in my soul

Now and forever



*Repeat…

Broken Barriers





Broken Barriers





Battered and bruised

That's how my heart was

I built a wall

So very tall

To keep everyone out

I vowed never to be hurt again

But then you came along

You made me believe in love

Slowly, one by one

The bricks came tumbling down

You reached out your hand

Now unafraid, I stand

With you, I see a future bright

No longer…

Soon

Here is the first of three of the next batch of poems I wrote last month....









I can almost see your face

And feel the joy it brings me

Your little hands reach for mine

But you're just out of reach

The tears slide down my cheeks



It troubles me deeply

The last time you left here

You were grounded

I'm not angry anymore

I just want to hold you



You bring me such joy

Your…

WCWC #7, What I didn't do this summer, but secretly wish I had

Well the list of things I didn't do this summer, but secretly wish I had is endless. I wish I'd gone camping and spent time with nature and my friends. The last time I went camping was in August of 2008. It was a three day camping/music event. It was so much fun. The many dj's there brought many styles of music. There were people spinning fire, amazing to watch! I sat there in a sort of trance while they wove the fire around in artistic movements. I had a desire to get up and get closer, but I… Continue

Lost

I said that I'd share the poems I wrote while in jail, well I am starting to get around to that. :P I will post three today and more later. Here's my first one.









Tears keep falling all around me

Walking through the salty puddles

They splash up and drench me

Soaked and freezing cold

I feel so lost

The sky is dark and I can't see

I'm trying to find You

I'm reaching my hand…

For My Friend

For My Friend



Every rose has its thorn, they say

I'm full of many

But don't be afraid to get too close

I can't promise not to hurt you

All I can promise is I'll try

I have a lot of love to give

The tears in your eyes make me weep

Let me hold your hand

I'll pray for you

And then I'll hold you close

I can't tell you the whens or hows

But somehow things will…

For My Son

For My Son



When your eyes light up that way

I can tell you're excited

Your face is animated

And your words come out in a rush

The joy in your voice makes me smile

It's moments like these that I love



I'm quietly read and relaxing on the couch

You're upstairs playing in a world of make believe

But somehow, you appear out of thin air

You give me…
