Where Have You Gone?It's been twelve years now, since you left us all.Still not a day goes by, that I don't miss your call.We never got along that well, through my teenage years,but when I needed you, you were always near.You helped me through some rough times, we were the best of friends.We were closer now, than we had ever ...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Money: 4 of 68
Money is the root of all evil, so I've seen and been told.Some people worship it, turning their hearts stone cold.I'd rather be happy, than to have a ton of gold.Happiness and love can't be bought or sold.Some work all their lives, to buy material things.Big homes, lots of cars, obsessed with living like kings.People forsake ...

As a disabled mother of 3 children on a very low fixed income, I've learned that there are many ways to cut the cost of clothing my children in name brand clothing.Clearance sales are a great way to shop for next year's clothing. The only drawback to this method is predicting what size your child will be wearing next year. Be... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: My inner struggle: 4 of 55

Sitting here, all alone, in the dark.Consumed by my thoughts, and fears.I can't seem to sleep, knowing what I know.Tears flowing from my eyes as they swell with sorrow.Strange how suddenly six months isn't enough time.Cancer is stealing you away from me, uncharged for it's crime.How do I tell you everything, every thought tha...

The Single Red RoseDuring a recent hospital stay,a lady named Viola crossed my way.We shared a room, and some intimate chat.We spoke of where we had been, and where we were at.She was a sweet elderly lady, about eighty in years.I could see the day of my discharge, her eyes filled with tears.She asked if I couldn't stay just o...

Creative Writing > Songs Songs: A snowy day: 4 of 47
It's three in the morning, there's been no passers by. The snow's really falling, and it's so cold outside. We might as well snuggle up close and tight. Cuz it looks like we're stranded right here for the night.Chorus: It feels so good to be here in your arms. The world slips away when it's just you and I. Yeahhh It slips awa... More..

To Be Well Again...My life consists of doctors and pills.No longer am I working, or using my skills.What purpose could these illnesses serve?That ruin the quality of life I deserve.It does no good to question why.Sometimes it helps to just sit and cry...I wish things were different for me and my life...The pain I am in can cu...

Computers & Technology > Internet Issues Pornography on the Internet: Free speech or subject to regulation?: 3 of 33
Internet pornography should absolutely be regulated, if not banned, for the sake of our future, as well as future generations.I once had a teacher in high school, who caught my boyfriend and I kissing in the hallway. He told us to "break it up", and then told me that he was going to "save me from myself". At the time, I didn'... More..

I've had my own struggles in life. The loss of my Mother was one of the worst. Since then, I've endured an abusive husband for many years, leaving him in the middle of the night.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Real love: 3 of 25
Is there anybody out there, who can love as much as I?Is there someone who knows real love, not just at the glance of an eye?Real love envelopes you completely, surrounding you like a shell.It's like a magic spell, that over you has befell.Real love is being there, through the good times, and the bad.You don't make your partn...
