Take a walk in my shoes.Experience one day in my life.See the anguish, the exhaustion,The terror, the strife.I wake up in the morning.I look in the mirror.A bald head, all I see -I have cancer, its clear.I wash my face.A wig tops my head.I drink coffee with my family;There's not much to be said.My body is small.My limbs are s...

Bang! Crash! Clatter! Clang!Find your wife; get your gang!Buildings tumble to the ground!Dodging bullets all around!Mothers fall; babies cry,Little children just ask 'why'.Run for your life; trip over your brother!Don't forsake yourself for another!The time is now; the minutes collide!Grab your car, or find a ride!Get out of ...

I am drop dead gorgeous,My eyes - a sparkling crystal blue,My skin so creamy and soft,My skin, so fresh - brand new.My hair is like sun-kissed corn silk,Weightlessly blond and fine,My smile is so captivating,My eyes - so inviting and kind.My expressions are what I'd call precious,Each one a miracle, to say the least.Bestowing...

I think I've really gone and done it this time -Went and crossed that line,That separates and dividesWhat's not okay, from what is fine.I really didn't mean to.It was completely unintended.This happened to me a long time ago.Now, here I've gone and re-offended!As a result, I'm guessing my apologies,Mean very little right abou...

Two hearts combined,And yet they beat as one.A mother and a child,The journey just begun.Uniting in the morning glory,Dancing in the sun,One inside the other,Until the day is done.Inspired by the light,Such a miracle inside,Two forces embracing one another,Their entities collide.Only separated by a space,That lies deep from w...

I suppose you didn't think I'd make it;I wasn't worth your time -Probably thought there wasn't much value,To this little life of mine.Suppose you thought I'd fail -Would never aspire to succeed -Guess you thought I'd be a follower -Never really lead.Maybe its because I'm not very flashy,No sparkling diamond, and no bling -You...

I'm locked in a room,Four walls, all I see.I'm helplessly trapped;I long to be free.Sitting in a corner,Knees pulled to my chest.I can not sleep;I can not rest.My heart pounds with fear;Anxiety echoes through my spine.I try to tell myself,That things will be fine.I think of my life -The things that I've done,My friends and my...
