About me - Amanda Pridgen

I am 30 years old. I have been writing for sometime now. I am not one of those people who have been writing their entire lives, however, it feels like I have. It is easier for me to put what I am feeling or what I want to say down on paper

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Ups & downs: 1 of 31

It makes me happy to see you smile. I haven’t seen you do that in quite awhile. I am beginning to see that sparkle back in your eyes. You would laugh and smile; a good show but nothing but lies. You lost you faith in everyone around you. Belief in your self was also lost too. You have always been the one I could count ...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Good-bye: 12 of 178

SAYING GOOD-BYE Looking in you eyes I saw the pain. I saw the suffering. I held your hand. You looked at me and smiled. The words I said I will never forget. "You don't have to scared anymore. There will be no pain no suffering. You will walk; You will laugh. You don't have to be scared anymore!" Those were the last words I ...

Overcome with stress. No wonder my life is such a mess. I hide my true feelings well. To look at me you couldn’t even tell. Screaming so loudly on the inside. Just trying to keep it together on the outside. So much thinking about my life. Wondering why I have to go through all this strife. Feeling not good enough. By m...

I can see it happing once again. Alpha and Omega is here about to begin. So overwhelmed, I can’t even speak. Too afraid my emotions I will let leak.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: A new year: 7 of 72

Another year has come to pass. Finally, no longer peering through the looking glass. Time to release the pain of the past. Time to break free from the body cast. A year of trouble, pain, and strife. Has been replaced with hope of a new life. There were countless times I wanted to just run away. Things were bad but I would ne...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: What I see: 2 of 20

WHAT I SEE When I look at you I do not see who you think I see. For, I see beyond what you appear to be. I wish I had a mirror to reflect my view. Then you would understand why I am amazed my you. There is a wall you have built around you, and not just anyone could break through. You would not dare let them get that close to...

Even though we are together, It seems like we have been apart foever. Time keeps on ticking by. With each tick I feel as though I am loosing you and I. With heart filled with so much hurt.
