Have you ever lived my life? Spent one minute in my shoes? If you haven't then tell me why, You judge me as you do Have you ever left your house, Unsure if you'd return Have you ever seen your friend get shot, Outside his favorite store? Have you ever seen a friend die, From drugs he'd never used before? Have you ever seen your mom get beat up, By your step dad messed up on booze? Have you ever had an unwanted pregnancy, Forcing you to choose? Have you ever sat beneath the stars, Hoping God will hear you? Have you ever seen your friend drive away, After way to much beers? Have you ever had a friend, Experiment with weed? Have you ever covered up guilt, By doing a good deed? Have you ever considered suicide, As the only way? Have you ever tried to hide yourself, Behind the things you say? Have you ever wanted to protect your friends and everyone in sight? Have you ever felt such pain, That you cried yourself to sleep at night? Have you ever lived my life? Spent one minute in my shoes? If you haven't then tell me why, You judge me as you do Just remember Don't judge a book by it's cover... Don't judge me by my pics... If you can do that simple thing for me... I might actually get along with you. I must say I love to party and chill with friends... I love to write poetry and listen to music... I believe writting is one of those ways I can express myself to everyone without having to talk. I love sports...I'm a Yankees Fan....but don't hold that against me... I'm in love with Duke.... Come on you gotta love the Blue Devils... I have natural horns. I lost my dad... So if you are going to give me shit about death Or try to talk to me about Life that is cool... Just dont' come to me saying... O my life sucks... Cause i've been down that road and it does get better.... But I will be ur shoulder to cry on if you need me... And my ears are always open to those that need them. A Poem for those that are lost! Just a moment in this lifetime, Just a tragedy ahead. Most not knowing where each turn will lead, Within seconds we might be dead Live each day to its fullest Do not stop to wonder why Do everything your heart desires In dreams, reach for the sky Surprises at every stop sign With its share of wrong ways and dead-ends Statistics don't help you with the future They only tell you where you've been With so many people among us There are no certainties And all it takes is just one person To reroute history Don't waste one single moment How very precious that they are What seems a long way off Is really not that far. Well a poem for you lovely people that have read this far... You guys are great and thank you. Have a seat upon a cloud, and make yourself at home You are now inside my dreams, inside a book, inside a poem Where anything can happen if you only make it real Plunge into my waters if you're not afraid to feel Take off your shoes and close your eyes, relax upon my sand Join me in my land of dreams, reach out and take my hand Let me share my dreams with you, until you find your own I'll take you there if you believe, take mine out on loan Where birds are words so gracefully they glide across the sky Leave behind your worries here the rules do not apply Pick my flowers if you like and plant a seed or two Paint the sky polka dot if you don't like it blue Climb my trees, face your fears, and erase them one by one See the world from up above and don't stop at the sun When the world starts raining down and the sun is out of sight Let your dreams control your mind and help you through the night There's a place inside my dreams for all who care to roam So have a seat upon a cloud and make yourself at home.
