About me - AuthorsLegacy

I'm just me...I know who I am, and I am who I choose to be. Life throws out too many obstacles that we never know which way to turn. If you really know who you are...I mean, really know...then you will be just fine. I've beaten cancer already and lost my

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Agony: 1 of 56

The Mirror When I look into the mirror I don't know who it is I see For the person looking through it Couldn't possibly be me I see a pretty face With long and flowing hair The reflection looks amazing If only I was there What I see is sadness Along with emptiness and fear Throw in a little doubt And that is all that appears...
Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: Emotional pain: 1 of 29

There I stand...in front of the bathroom mirror...not recognizing the person looking back at me. My eyes burn for a glimpse of what can't be seen. It's the memories holding me captive that prevent me from seeing who I really am...who I deserve to be. The stories over-heard on a daily basis seem mundane compared to the ones I...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Life without Daddy: 2 of 38

His Arms (In memory of my father...I miss you!) God wrapped His arms around you To take away your pain He's standing behind the pearly gates Softly speaking your name He knows you are a husband A father And a son He knows the pain that's felt By each and every one He knows you are a brother A grandfather And a friend He know...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Rape trauma: 5 of 87

Blood pouring from my body The blade making it's way across my skin Your hands imprinted upon my throat Eyes tightly closed Fists clenching the ground beneath me Fear escalating to terror A moment of death avoided Rescued by a stranger My unconscious body taken to safety Innocence lost Life destroyed As the blood poured ...
Relationships & Family > Marital Conflicts Should I stay or should I go?: 4 of 66

Love can only carry you so far. There comes a point when you have to look at the larger picture and wonder what's going to become of the situation. You have to dig within yourself and decide if it's even worth it anymore...do you have any fight left in you. When the day comes that you can no longer look at yourself in the mi...
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Where does your inspiration come from?: 8 of 126

Inspired by the world... When trying to figure out what inspires a writer, accept the fact that it's an unanswerable question. The things that inspire someone today, could possibly have no bearing tomorrow. A writer provides a voice...an opinion...magic within words. That's who I am - who I choose to be. Looking over my life...
Politics, News & Issues > Football News & Opinion Who plays football with more passion: College or professional players?: 1 of 13

When it comes down to it, college football is surely played with more passion than professional football. College players are still playing for the game. They are playing for the fun, the recognition, and their pride...something that seems to lack on the pro level. Can you remember the good 'ol days when you played just to p...
Entertainment > Characters & Performances Who portrayed the Joker better: Jack Nicholson or Heath Ledger?: 3 of 31

A new era is upon us...a time when legends become icons...when icons are deemed immortal. Debating whether Jack Nicholson or Heath Ledger portrayed the best Joker seems a bit controversial. Look at the larger realm of things...follow the story lines. Jack Nicholson was amazing at bringing the Joker to life. In his rendition ...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: If I die today: 12 of 123

Will I be remembered For who I was...or who I am Will I be sorely missed By my family...by my friends Did I make a difference In this thing that we call life Did I make amends For things I didn't do right Can I change some things I've done Even just one time... Can I change mistakes I've made Maybe be a little more kind Will...
Religion & Spirituality > Self-Awareness & Realization Is knowledge truly power?: 7 of 63

I can not sit here and say that knowledge is truly power. What determines that would be the process in which we use that knowledge. It's a known fact that society is less educated than it has been in the past...because there is a faded sense of the educational process. But, knowledge comes in many forms. It is brought to us ...
