Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Change: 8 of 189

You Changed Me You changed me with the blink of an eye. That is something I can't deny. You put my soul from worst to best. While helping me put my fears to rest.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Ending a relationship: 39 of 282

Was it me that said those words when I was upset? Or was it my mind that is filled with those insults, opinions, and desires that will never be told, because in all actuality I think before I speak. Is it all a dream or did I act out this life scene without any compassion for your feelings or any guilt in my heart. Did I ign...

Dedicated to Peaches aka Latoyer Smothers I could tell you I love you. I could tell you, you are my life. I could tell you that someday you'd be my wife.

Looking In the mirror reflecting on the past. How I often wondered, how it went so fast. The opportunities I've squandered. The blessings I've missed, while living my life in total ignorance. Not really understanding how to remain optimistic. I abandoned my morals and ignored my religion. But God cast a storm that influenced...

Nothing worse than a group of guys or girls sitting around having a pity party, talking about their stupid boyfriends/girlfriends or how life just isn't fair.

Religion & Spirituality > Christianity (Other) Is the world today out of control: 14 of 29

In a world where we acknowledge a rapper named Jay-Z by the name Jehovah, getting shot 9 times can make your album go platinum like 50 cents, and being the Terminator can get you elected governor like Arnold Schwarzenegger, of course you have to say the world is out of control. This era in time relies heavily on parents teac...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Thoughts: 174 of 275

Life without thoughts How I wonder what life would be like if I just stop thinking. Would I just react on impulse and loose all rational behavior or would my reception of perception be distorted, because of my lack of concentration? How would I love or receive love? See thinking goes 2 ways and in order to think you have to ...
