I started expressing myself thru poetry when I was 14 and my mom told me I had to break up with my boyfriend.
I wrote a poem about how I felt and I woke the next morning to my mom's sobs as she read the poem.
My poems reflect feelings and actual events, I learned
First let me say that I don't blame you I was warned from the start and from experience I knew I ignored all the warning bells, loud as they tolled I jumped headlong into it, all braveness and bold And I gave it my whole self, cause that's just me I thought I could pull out if the need came to be I knew you were hurting and ...

There's a game I play each day It helps me thru life's dreary way It makes things happen the way I want It keeps away life's mysterious haunts Won't you come and play my game with me Let's hide from reality But now I wonder is it all worthwhile The broken heart covered up with a smile The happy tune with the sad sad song Pre...

Analyze the reasons my life suddenly turned upside down Why I jumped from total control, to a silly little clown Rationalize and realize, see things for what they really are Putting it in a poem will heal that emotional scar Something I couldn't quite manage, not until today Having trouble with it now, but must get on my way...

I'd like to just sink inside myself, just exist and let things be simple for a while no responsiblilities, no questions, no answers, no talking, just peace & tranquility Of all the things I find most dear is a flowering plant or a flying bird, one so pretty, the other so free All on the side of just being me Sadness in a mos...

I think that sometimes you have to stop and say how badly did the animal attack and why? If an animal brutally attacks and seriously injures a human being or even another animal for that reason I would say in all probability it should be put down, I love animals, but I also watched my child grieve when one of her little frie...

I'll call him "Inspiration" cause that's what he's been to me He instilled in me the need to be all that I can be Impressed by such character as never seen in just one man Made me the face the things in life from which before I ran In him I see a spirit filled with all things right and good If he tells me I should do it Then...

Misery Misery loves company they say and that is that Snatch the joy right out of life and cram it in a vat Boil it and steam it, be sure that it's dead Wouldn't want that happy spirit to fly up & hit you in the head Rip the smile right off of that face Hide it real good in air tight place Be sure you get the twinkle from th...
