Happy

I'm so extremely happy

So full of glee

Can't shake this feeling

Don't know what's gotten into me

I don't want this feeling to go

I want it to remain with me forever

I want to share my joy with the world

And feel sadness or pain never!

My heart is filled with such joy

And I have all this love to give

My friends, you make me happy

You're the reason why I live

Some Freedoms

Some freedoms were paid for in blood

Some were paid with sacrifice and pain

Some freedoms are still being faught

Makes me wonder if there's anything to gain

Freedom never truly is free

Not with the price that is paid

So many soldiers lives were lost

Their memories will never fade

I often wonder when all this will end

And when our soldiers will come back

Or will it be long lasting, never ending

With freedom and liberty still under attack

I wake each day thankful for my freedom

And pray all the time for world peace

But so many others are not free like me

Makes me sad that the fighting will never cease

Freedom should never be taken for granted

And each of us should be thankful every day

For without our troops to fight for us...

We wouldn't be granted the freedom today

Before It's Too Late (written for Memorial Day)

Our country's most terrible crime

Her crime is the act of war

All this killing it has to stop

Please I beg... please no more!

Too many lives have been lost already

And Memorial day is just tomorrow

I can't understand why there's no peace

When I look around and just see sorrow

I'm sickened with all the blood shed

This is such a terrible terrible thing

Why does there have to be war and killing

When all we need is peace and understanding

Freedoms faught and freedoms lost

With this thing we all call hate

Why can't all this killing stop

Please now, before it's too late

Before it's too late...

I Said No

My innocence was lost

Because I said no

But you took it from me

Then you called me a hoe

You laughed at my tears

You hurt me again

You said I belong to you

I never did back then

I said no but you said yes

You took my virginity from me

And you bragged to your friends

I will never be able to flee

I tried to run away

I fought you the whole time

But you were stronger

And you committed that crime

I have been used

I will never be the same

You treated me like property

Like this was some kind of game

I said no but you didn't care

You laughed at my pain

And you took my innocence

I cried my tears of rain

I will try to come back

I will try to forget

But you torment me

And post vulgars on the net

You know that no means no

And it always will

But now I wish for death

And I wish for death still

As I write this poem

The memories cause me pain

But I have to get this out

And hope it leaves my brain

I said no, I screamed it

You beat me while you took

And I'll never be the same...

But you're nothing more than a crook

I tried to take pills

I tried to take my life

I wanted to get rid of this feeling

And be rid of all this strife

NOTE:



this poem was written about the worst day in my life

I didn't intend to share it with anyone but since this is my blog...

I can't keep trying to hide this part of my past

So here's my poem, please don't judge me

Sincerely, Stacey Marie

My Advice

I'll give my advice without thought

Even though they say advice is never free

I'll still try to give what advice I can

And hope you'll always understand me

Never dwell on what you can't change

Never ask for something you'd never give

Never change the person that you are

And never tell others how they should live

Never be afraid to give a little

Never be afraid to share your heart

Never be afraid of things unknown

And never be afraid if you should fall apart

My advice has been freely given

What you do with it is up to you...

Just be happy with the choices you make

Don't let anything stop what you want to do!

...And I Do Have Some Pride

Truth is... I care too deeply when I should not

My heart is always there for the taking

I live my life just a little too fast

I write about things that aren't mistaking

I'm not stupid as others assume I may be

I refuse to back down when I know I'm right

I believe in things that others do not

I'm here, ready and willing to put up a fight

I am one of a kind, which makes me special

I have this urge to show you my light

I love to draw, paint, and write poetry

And enjoy watching the stars at night

I'm someone you'll never ever forget

You wouldn't be able to even if you tried

I'm a great friend, I'll always be here for you

I am confident, and I do have some pride

Don't Tell Me What To Do

Don't think you have the right to control me

Don't think you can tell me what I can do

Whatever I do in my life isn't your business

And whatever I do isn't up to anyone not even you

I live my life to please no-one but me

I live my life the way I see fit...

I will never live my life as others dictate

If you don't like it, I really don't give a shit!

Do You Have The Courage?

Do you have the courage to stand up for what you believe in?

Do you have the courage to fight for what's right?

Do you have the courage to help those who are weaker than you?

Do you have the courage to stick in the battle and fight?

Do you have the courage to stay true to yourself?

Do you have the courage to share a little bit of love?

Do you have the courage to not conform to other's ideals?

Do you have the courage to give life just a little shove?

Do you have the courage to lift your head up high when you feel low?

Do you have the courage to help others up if they should fall?

Do you have the courage to be the person you are meant to be?

Do you have the courage to just ask for help and give a friend a call?

Do you have the courage to make lemonade when life gives you lemons?

Do you have the courage to laugh a little even when you're feeling blue?

Do you have the courage to cry when you feel the need to cry?

Do you have the courage to stop trying to be someone else other than you?

Do you have the courage to ignore the hateful words of others?

Do you have the courage to stay true to what you believe in to the very end?

Do you have the courage to just be loving, truthful, understanding, and kind?

Do you have the courage to throw yourself in front of a bullet for a friend?

Do you have the courage to sit down with a friend and just listen?

Do you have the courage to be rid of the world of hate and strife?

Do you have the courage to succeed when other's would fail?

Do you have the courage to go on and just live your life?

Racism

Of human ignorance I am almost in despair

For racism is around me everywhere

But like they say sheer ignornce is bliss

Just like Judas betrayed Jesus with a kiss.

Some people carry their honour in a flag

And of their Nationality they brag

They feel superior and they differentiate

And against those who are different they discriminate.

So many people still judged by their race

For such there never ought to be a place

'A fair go' those untruthful words I do recall

There is no such a thing as a 'fair go for all'.

Though we live in a so called democracy

Of racism we never will be free

They judge you by where you come from and the colour of your skin

For many equality and respect seems impossible to win.

It's been awhile since the days of Martin Luther King

His name to it has a familiar ring

If against racism he did not choose to strive

Today the great man he would be alive.

So many holding the reins of power not spiritually aware

And racism is around me everywhere

And racism only leads to division and war

Just goes to show how ignorant some are.

The Soldier

The soldier came back from a dark war
He's home safe but still sees killing
He can't get the image out of his head
He tries to sleep but is never willing

He stays up all night when he should sleep
He has dreams of all the killing and blood-shed
He loves his family... but he can't survive...
The night-terrors are there when he's in bed

The soldier lives his life an empty shell
He tries to be happy but doesn't know how
His family and friends love him dearly
And they're there for him right now!

The soldier is a hero to one and all
He's strong, brave, and oh so true
He's been shot at and still he survives
It's not his time to bid a fond adieu...

I Found Love

If you asked me yesterday

"Would you ever find love?"

I would of just walked away

But today it's all I think of

I have found my love

He's strong and true

He's handsome and kind

And he loves me too

So ask me what you want today

My answer is "Yes, I found him"

I will keep him forever and always

Because our love isn't just a whim!

Butterlies

such a small and fragile thing

with colorful delicate wings too

to hold one in your hands

will be like holding a wish come true

butterflies are nature's dreams

they're the wishes and a hope

when just one person believes

seeing one will help one cope

a butterfly is nature's beauty

that we all strive to be

watch as one flies away

and you'll finally see

Words of Hate

Words of hate!

What do they do?

They have no control,

Over me and you!

Words of hate!

When will they end?

They do nothing,

But hurt a friend!

Be True

Do not fade away in the background

Do not let your light diminish

Be who you were always meant to be

Never allow your story to finish

Do not let others tell you what to do

Do not allow them to call you names

Their words of hate cannot hurt you

Do not play their little games

Be true to yourself and only you

Stand proud and never fade

Your light shines brightest of them all

Because it's how you were made

Diamonds

I sat on the soft green grass

I sat and stared up at the sky

I sat and wondered about you

And as I sat I started to cry

As I cried my tears turned to diamonds

And as diamonds fell, I began to smile

Each diamond is for how much I love you

You are my treasure that I will keep awhile

So as I sat thinking about you...

I held my tears in the palm of my hand

I knew you're were loving me too

Which is why my life is so grand!

We're All Beautiful

All the hating, name-calling needs to stop

We were all created equal in the eyes of God

We all deserve to be treated with respect

We shouldn't be made to feel sad or odd

We're all beautiful inside and out... all of us!

We're all unique and special in our own way

Nobody has the right to hurt or bring you down

Don't listen to whatever mean words haters say

Don't be sad or depressed because of words of others

Don't allow them to break your spirit or your heart

Be who you were always meant to be... yourself

And never allow hateful, hurtful words break you apart!

Should I?

I haven't found a reason why I should stay.

I don't know why I bother to stick around.

I just feel lost in this world of sorrow and hate.

And I feel like I could never ever be found.

Too much drama, too many hurtful things,

Too many people bringing others down.

Makes me feel sick, sad, depressed and alone,

Like I'm in a vast sea adrift, might even drown.

I'm trying to find the one reason, the why,

The who or what that'll make me stay.

But with all I have tried to do, have done,

I feel like I'll never see another happy day.

Should I stay here and suffer more pain?

Or should I just be done with it and leave?

Should I stick around for my family and friends?

Should I just hope for the best and believe?

To The Speeder That Hit My Cat

You speed on by without a care

But do you see the life that's standing there?

It may be little and stand on four feet

But he's my cat and ever so sweet

You just keep driving, and you don't even stop

You hit my Shadow and laughed when you saw him drop

He's my cat, and he has a feelings and a life too

But do you even care? No, I don't think you do

You don't realize that you killed a part of me

You see Shadow, my cat is a part of my family

You sped on by with no worries or any cares

Next time it could be your life standing there!

The Broken Heart

The broken heart will heal again

The broken heart is on the mend

The broken heart will find love

The broken heart will never bend

The broken heart will melt away

The broken heart will seek you out

The broken heart can be whole

The broken heart can cry and shout

The broken heart feels lost and alone

The broken heart feels so much pain

The broken heart will feel hope

The broken heart will give once again

Like a...

Like a moth to the flame

I come back time and time again

I am addicted to your love

I'm addicted and that's my bane

Like a butterly to a flower

I'm lost in the radiance of you

You may be dark but you love me

Your love is something I need too

My Pen

Staring at this blank page

Nothing but a pen in my hand

I can fill the lines with words of rage

Or I can talk about how love is something I don't understand

This blank page just calls my name

I can fill it with anything

Doesn't matter... happiness or pain

I could even fill it with a new song to sing

My pen moves too quickly

Before my mind even knows what to say

The black ink is using me

It directs my hand in every way

The lines begin to fill

With words I don't even know

But the pen ceases to stay still

It continues to write and go

I can't control anything anymore

Instead everything is controlling me

My Angel

The time has come again

Where the darkness has failed

I'm adrift on the open sea

Where my life has sailed

The fogs tries to engulf me

But my life is light with love

I'm adrift but never alone

Because of my angel from above

He's protects me from danger

He'll sheild me with his light

He loves me for who I am

And will guide me through the night

No Poet

This poem has no poet

It was created by an entity

That shares no heart

Empty is this poem

Devoid of all emotion

Plain and simply no plot

Silent it speaks

Talk of nothingness

And void of life

This poem has no poet

It's purely meaningless

Nobody will claim it

Pen and Paper

Pen and paper

A strong will at heart

I will write these words

Even if they do set me apart

Pen and paper

The words are like wine

So sweet to the taste

Because you're all mine

Pen and paper

Music in my muse

You've given me reason

You've lit love's fuse

I Tried to Write

I tried to write a poem for you

But the words have died on my tongue

I tried to tell you how I feel

But my words make me feel old, not young

I tried to write a poem for you

But my pen has dried up and won't write

I tried to tell you how much I love you

But my words have gone dark, not bright

I tried to write a poem for you

But the paper has turned to dust

I tried to express my thoughts and emotions

But I fear the words have gone to rust

My Broken Heart

My broken heart

is suffering from pain,

My broken heart

is going insane.

My broken heart

wishes it could die,

My broken heart

wants to always cry,

My broken heart

wishes you could see,

My broken heart

is inside of me.

My Eyes

My eyes are the windows to my soul

Look into them and tell me what you see

I look back at you and I see love and friendship

For your soul is looking back at me

My eyes tell a story all on their own

They'll tell you if I'm happy or sad

and they'll tell you if I'm angry or in love

Just look at me and tell me that's not that bad

My eyes are crystal pools of tears and love

Look into my eyes and I'm sure you'll see it all

Because the soul is the heart shared with you

And my heart is my soul, friendship that will call

Depression

Depression is the looks that lie

Depression is the tears I cry...

Depression is the mistakes

That one person makes...

Depression is the sad song

Where no one will sing along...

Depression is where I have no friends

Depression is the cut that mends...

Depression is just a feeling that gets me sad

And maybe to the point where I could go mad...

Depression is sad but true

Because it's my life without you...

There's a Story

There's a sad story that needs to be told
It's the story of all... young and old

There's a story about love that was lost
And couldn't be found at all cost

There's a story about a soul in despair
And a heart that's broken beyond compair

There's a story about a sad girl like me
Who couldn't find the love to help her see

There's a sad story that hasn't been written yet
Because this story continues now and hasn't been set

I Died

On the last night of the moon

The very night that you cried

I layed down my head for a long rest

And that very night is when I died

On the last night of the moon

The wolves all cried one last time

For death came to visit me once again

And I thought I heard the last bell chime

On the last night of the moon

I died but I didn't really die

Because my life continues on

Even when I heard you cry

On the last night of the moon

I walk the earth a lonely ghost

I'm invisible and unseen by your eyes

And that's what hurts me the most

Why Should I?

Why should I change who I am?

Why should I live a lie?

I don't have to be what you want

Because if I did then I'd just die.

Why should I stop what makes me happy?

Why should I be someone I'm not?

I don't have to live the way you want me to

Otherwise, I'd be better off if I was shot.

Why should I not be happy too?

Why should I always be sad?

Don't I have rights just like you?

Or would that just make me bad?

The Sky

The sky is a light shade of blue

There are puffy little white clouds everywhere

I sit on a lawn chair and enjoy the view

It makes me glad I'm alive and here

I sit and watch the world go by

I see a bird flying low to get some seed

I sit here and I'm wondering why

When there seems to be nothing that I need

The sky is a beautiful and lovely shade

Just enjoying what nature has to give

Makes me glad that nothing will fade

And very glad that today and tomorrow I live

Blossoms

Every blossom are like my friends

Each one is different in their own way

Every bloom is beautiful and unique

Just like all my friends I see every day

My friends are the flowers I see

They each bloom and grow today

All it takes is a little frienship and love

To make them more beautiful each day

My Death

The life is sucked right out of me

My soul is gone, I'm just an empty shell

Somewhere in the deep dark abyss

I heard someone say "I knew her well"

The preacher man is saying grim words of regret

The mourners are all crying and dressed in black

Memories flood back of a life gone by too fast

But in the abyss I'm thinking there's nothing I lack

The funeral goes on without a delay

The music is a sad melody of a life gone

But my soul lingers to watch those around

And I keep thinking, "where did I go wrong?"

Once all have left and my soul is alone

I wait and watch from the dark abyss

Then I see what I'm searching for...

To the light I must go, I know I will be missed

Grandmother

As I wear my grandmother's silver ring

Memories come flooding back to me

I can hear her melodic voice when she laughs

And how she used to sing "Let it be"

She always gather us up in her hugs

And she used to play mini golf like a pro

She'd always tell us how much she loved us

And she'd play classic rock on her radio

She would tell me I was her greatest joy

And she was so much fun to be around

When I remember her, she's right here

She'll always be in my heart, safe and sound

Angels Exist

It is said there are Angels

In Heaven above

And they shine with the light

Of an inner love

Of these things

I had not a clue

But that was

Before I found you

For in you I've found

A love that is so right

It shines all around

With the brightest of light

It comes from somewhere

So deep within

That is has no beginning

And knows no end

Your love is a light

That brightens each day

Of all of the people

You see on your way

Where ever you go

Or whatever you do

All see the love

That you have inside you

That God sent you here

To a place where you'd be

Sharing such love

With someone like me

Is proof for me

That Angels exist

And are filled with a love

That no-one could resist

I thank God each day

For finding the time

For looking down on me

And making you mine

So yes there are Angels

In Heaven above

I know because God

Sent me one to love

Oh Wicked Mirror

Oh wicked mirror on my lonely wall

What do you see when you look back at me?

Am I but a lonely girl wit no life at all?

Or is there something more that you see?

Oh wicked mirror with the reflection of me

Will I ever be beautiful in your sight?

Will I find the one who'll love me for who I am?

Or will what I am just fade and not be so bright?

Oh wicked mirror tarnished and oh so dim

Do you see me as I am this very day?

Or does the reflection just lie to you?

Or will you ever have anything nice to say?
