When?

Worn out and torn apart

Tired and ready to give in

When will it all end?

When will it all begin?

I can't take all the pain

It's ripping me apart

I can't take all the lies

It has blackened my heart

Hate breeds more hate

That's the sad cycle of life

Your hate has killed me

And just given me more strife

I'm too tired to even try

I'm too tired to face the day

All I can do is cry and think

And wonder will it go away?

Trying to take a deep breath

Only makes me feel more lost

What has all your hate done?

Do you not see what it cost?

Worn out and torn apart

Tired and ready to give in

When will it all end?

When will it all begin?

Done

Torn between trying to help a friend

Or allowing him to just rot

He thinks it's funny to call me names

He's jealous because of what I got

Once he was a friend and brother

Now he is nothing to me

I tried to help him with his bad habits

I tried to make him realize and see

But he continues to believe in his ways

He says he has done nothing wrong

But he has hurt so many I love

Now his life is just a sad sad song!

I'm torn between helping and letting go

I feel like I'm being ripped in two

I can't take all the lies and heartache

I guess he'll never see, what am I to do?

He allows his friends to call me nasty names

And yet he says he's still my friend?

A friend doesn't allow all that hate

So good-bye to him, this is finally the end!



Night Sky

Out uder a moonless sky looking up at a billion stars

I'm just laying in the grass and in complete awe

The wonders I see before my eyes is absolutely amazing

But so many ignore it as if it was nothing at all

I lay out in the chill of the night just staring up at the sky

Thinking about you as I try to count each twinkling star

I'm in amazement thinking about a nigt we spent together

Making lov under the night sky, nothing compares so far

Out under the starry sky, I lay and just keeping thinking of you

I know we both are looking at the same beautiful night sky

And it makesme feel so much closer to you as I look above

I rememeber how wit you I had no reason to feel bashful or shy



Searching

What I was yesterday is what I am today

Is today any better than the day before?

Will I go through this life an unknown?

Or will I be something special, so much more?

I walk this world seeking answers I cannot find

When will I find the clues to my past?

They're just there, right out of my grasp

I can't hold on... I wish I could make it last!

What I was is what I will always be

Sometimes I think that might be best

For if I wasn't the person I am now

My heart wouldn't be beating beneath my breast!

So I search... I wander... and I seek

Looking for answers that aren't always there

But there is one thing that I do know in my heart

It's that you love me and you'll always care!



Change

The world around me is changing so fast

Everything, everyone keeps changing so

It makes me wonder if it'll all last?

Everywhere I look things and people change

It's like I'm in slow motion, stuck in a time warp

It's all so confusing... everything is so strange

I often wonder if I'll change like everything around me

Will I always be this person that I am?

I just want to be able to tell... I want to see!

The world around me is changing so fast

I want it all to slow down now so I can catch up

I don't want to miss out on life, when it could be a blast

Slow down please... let me enjoy my life

I don't want to change yet like everything else

I want to enjoy life and love and be rid of all strife

Fields of Flowers

I roam in fields of wildflowers

Free to be the woman I am today

Always thnking about those I love

And knowing they want me to stay

I will always love them as they do me

And I'll always be there to stay

My love is like the wildflower

It is never boring shades of gray

I roam the fields picking flowers

To give to all those that I love

These flowers are a token from me to you

Because you are my angel from above

Arms Outstretched

Arms outstretched... I begin to float, I fly
Light as a feather as I reach the sky

Higher and higher I go as my feet leave the ground
I dance to nothing, no music, no sound

As I do my pirouettes I go higher from day to night
Can you see me? Am I not beautiful in your sight?

Arms outstretched... my feet continue to dance
I can't help but feel free, nothing is left to chance

My spirits lift as I dance to the stars above
I dance because I can feel your love

I keep dancing in the pale moon light
And then in your arms I go to love you tonight!

I am a Painter

I am a painter, I paint a picture with words

I write my words until they form a sentence

And I continue to write as poetry is formed

I am a painter, I like to paint you my feelings

Through the poetry I write just for you

It is an array of colorful emotios on paper

I am a painter, I will paint you a rainbow

Through written works of art and poetry

Through my tears and my laughter I paint

I am a painter, My words are the portrait

Written down until I get the end result

And never finished until I drop the pen

I am a painter, And now I must put my brush down

For no more words are coming to mind

So this painting is what you see here and now



Look...

Look deep inside your heart

Do the seeds of doubt form?

Are you listening to whispers of hate?

Is there a warring storm?

Look deep inside your heart

Is this the person you wanted to be?

Are you going with the crowd?

You need to open your eyes and see!

Look deep inside your heart

Think about what makes you glad

Do what you wish with your life

Instead of always being so sad!

Look deep inside your heart

And allow your soul to fly free

Don't listen to those around you

Tell them to just let you be!



Why Hate?

Why start with all the hating?

Is there really rhyme or reason?

Why start a war that shouldn't be?

Is there a purpose for this treason?

Why become someone you're not?

When you know hating is such a sin?

Why not forgive and forget instead?

If you continue to hate you'll never win!



Walking in a Dream

I was walking this world in a dream

Then you came into my life

No longer am I missing a part of me

No longer do I feel this strife!

I was walking this world in a dream

And now you have awakened my soul

Your love has made me feel so alive

You have filled up my heart's hole

I was walking this world in a dream

And now I'm walking on Cloud Nine

Because of you and your love for me

Makes me glad I'm yours and you're mine!



Two Souls

Two souls linked together as one

Hearts combined nothing can be undone

Destined to be always together forever

Nothing can break them, not now not ever

A love foretold from this life to the next one

When they come together they're brighter than the sun

They live for each other, nothing can tear them apart

They're destined to always share one heart

When one is without the other, all goes dark

Their world seems dim and oh so stark

But they live together as one no matter the distance

Fate has brought them together for this chance

So two souls linked together as one

Never to be broken, never to be undone!

I Danced

As I danced there in the rain for you

I felt your love pour all over me

I kept dancing to the music in my heart

And it was only you that I did see

I danced in the chill of the rain

Others watched but I did not know

I danced for you because of our love

For others I will dance another show

When I dance I feel light as a feather

Like I could just fly away on cloud nine

When I dance I only see your love

I'm so happy that you are always mine

So again I will dance for you with all my heart

And I will dance for everyone I love

I will dance like I have never danced before

I will be as light as the wings of a dove



Out of the Darkness

Let me be your light

To guide you from the darkness

Let me shine the way

To help you out of this abyss

Let me be your angel

To save you from the pain

Let me show you my love

So a long life we would gain

Let me give you my soul

And give you my heart to keep

Let me be your one and only

Because our connection is deep



Sometimes...

Sometimes I sit and wonder,
Am I important at all?
What's my reason to be here?
Will anyone catch me when I fall?

Will there ever be a reason?
Or do I leave it up to fate?
Was my life all a sham?
Was I here a bit too late?

Am I important to those around me?
Am I really loved like they say?
Will I ever find the answers?
Or will I be clueless every day?

Sometimes I sit and wonder,
Then I look around at those I love.
The answer is in all of them...
Since they were given to me from Heaven above!



Eyes

They say that the eyes are the windows to your soul,

If that's true then look into my eyes and tell me what you see.

Am I the person you thought I was or something different?

What is it that you see when you look into the soul of me?

Does this image I portray conflict with the rest of me?

Am I the friend you always wanted or am I not?

Who am I when you look into the windows of my soul?

Just look deep into my eyes and give it a shot!



In My Life

In my life, so short as it has been

I've come across those who left an imprint

They have walked into my life, my heart

They are all my family, friends, Heaven sent

Without these who have walked in my heart

My life would have no meaning at all

There would be nothing for me to fight for

No one to pick me up when I fall

In my life, so short as it has been

I look forward to getting older each day

Because I know I will have people who love me

People who will in my heart forever stay
