I consider myself to be (somewhat of) a poet.
I have written over 50 poems and chose to create my own page.
Although, I have not included all of them.
I hope you enjoy reading what I have.
So sit back and kick up your feet!

Poems About My Friends:

An Angel

In life,
An Angel is there with you,
In the bad times,
An Angel is there with you,
In the good times,
An Angel is there with you,
When your best friend is there,
An Angel is there with you,
Best friends are just,
An Angel in disguise,
And you are my Angel,
Here with me.

My Best Friend

You stood up for me,
When no one else would,
You stood beside me,
When no one else could,
You cried for me,
When things went wrong,
You smiled for me,
When I tried to sing a song,
You laughed for me,
When I told a stupid joke,
You reprimanded me,
When someone I tried to choke,
You came to me,
When I needed you,
You can always call me,
When you need me too.

We Have Shared

We have shared our blessed moments,
And all our heart pained tears,
We have shared our loved memories,
And all our worst held fears,
Together we have come against,
Those that make oppose,
Our dreams and our goals for life,
And the problems they arose,
We have shared our every laughter,
That has become of each a fight,
We have shared all our mistakes,
That leave us crying in the night,
Together we have conquered,
All that renders us afraid,
We managed to keep together,
And our hearts from being frayed,
We have shared all this together,
We've held it through the end,
Which everyday I thank the Lord,
For my benevolent best friend.

Inside Jokes

Inside jokes,
We have a ton,
But oh my god,
They are so much fun!
Remember Stairmaster?
Oh, the beautiful white snow,
You cannot forget,
I know you know.
Get them off! Get them off!
Oh you poor girl,
Those gloves,
Sure had you in a swirl.
Whatever started that joke,
The one next to the Christmas tree,
The hot chocolate was everywhere,
So funny to see.
Homosexual Candles!
Only we would understand,
No one would ever guess,
Especially not a man.
I'm Stuck! I'm Stuck!
It's cause you're so out there,
I laughed so much,
It was hard to bare.
Now we joke,
About these things all the time,
Did you even notice,
The entire poem was a rhyme?

Friends Forever

Friends forever,
You and me,
Like sisters we are,
It's plain to see,
We've been through a lot,
Tears we have shared,
Fears we have conquered,
Terrors we have bared,
We only met each other,
A couple years back,
So much fun we have had,
Creativity we never lack,
Your house was my house,
Your parents were mine,
But totally was yours,
Was the J.C. shrine,
I moved away,
In the middle of last year,
But that didn't end the friendship,
You just packed up your gear,
You came and stayed with me,
In the June of last summer,
But when you had to go,
We both just said Bummer,
I will come and see you,
For a week or two,
I know you can drive,
We'll have something fun to do,
You'll come see me,
Then I'll come see you,
This will go on,
Until we turn blue,
I'll visit your kids,
You'll come visit mine,
And when no one is looking,
We'll pull out the shrine,
I know we'll be friends,
Until we're old Grandmas,
We'll definitely outlive,
Our husbands slash Grandpas,
Until our dying day,
We shall be friends,
Because we'll know each other,
Until the very end.

Romantic Poems:

My Love

Each and every single day,
I see my love in just one way,
I see him as the perfect man,
Who holds my heart in his hand,
I love him with all my soul,
To be with him is my goal,
Forever I will love him so,
No matter what my love will grow.

Will You

Every night before I sleep,
I sit and think of you,
Of whether it was a mistake,
If something could have grew,
Did I act to hastily,
Should I have given it a chance,
We never did get to have,
A long slow dance,
Should I admit I was wrong,
And try one more time,
Will you take me back?
Will you be mine?

My Heart

With the tears of my heart,
I am able to feel your pain,
With the music of my soul,
I see you dancing in the rain,
Unconsciously I wait,
For the moment in time,
Where all will be well,
And you will be mine,
From the deepest recesses,
Of my bottomless heart,
I give to thee my love,
And wish to never be apart.

No Words

There are no words to describe,
The feelings I have for you,
It seems so inefficient,
To simply say I love you too,
I wish I could show you,
How much you mean to me,
I wish I could open my soul,
So you are able to see,
To see this beating heart of mine,
So full of love and joy,
For this sweet man of mine,
Not some diminutive little boy,
I will love you for a lifetime,
In that there is no disbelief,
I will forever be by your side,
To alleviate your grief.

How Deep Does Love Go?

How deep does love go?
Does it have a limit?
Is it something we can measure?
Can we live within it?
Is it like a well?
Can it run dry?
Will your love for someone end?
Can your love just die?
How does love begin?
Does it have a start?
Is it like emotion shopping?
Can we just put it in a cart?
Is love something you can teach?
Can love be defined?
Will your love be real?
Can your love be designed?
To match your every will?
Love is something,
That only some can feel,
Something that is hard to find,
A feeling that is real,
An emotion that can hurt you,
It can take away your will,
Make you do things,
You wouldn't normally do,
So if you're in love,
Make it plain to see,
Because your love is something,
That you should give freely.

Other Poems:

I Know What It Is

Something's there,
I can feel it,
There's something behind me,
Why can't I forget,
It scares me,
I can't see it,
I know it's there,
Why won't it go away,
Why can't I see it,
It has a hold on me,
Everyday,
I can never get away,
It has me in it's grasp,
It's surrounding me,
I know what it is,
But I can't conquer it,
I know what it is,
It's....

Mine

Something about this world,
Leaves me feeling truly cold,
As if I do not belong here yet,
As if I am incredibly alone,
While I gaze around me,
I notice all that is anew,
Changing with the breeze of time,
That sweeps through all but you,
Nothing ever injures you,
You always stay the same,
Looking about this world,
As if it were only a game,
Then I momentarily look at you,
For one last time,
I realize I'm seeing a reflection,
That is not yours but mine.

Ugly Duckling

I feel like that duckling,
The ugly one that is,
That fell into a different group,
Unaware of what was wrong,
But I have seen my reflection,
I know I'm not the same,
Beauty engulfs me,
Yet won't let me in,
I wait outside these doors,
For the moment I can go inside,
But still these doors are locked,
And still I wait for the key,
To let me into their world,
So I can be one of them,
I feel like that duckling,
The ugly one that is,
That everyone made fun of,
But then I remember,
That in the end,
She's the one they're jealous of,
And I'm glad to be her.

Last Words

If I die today,
Don't blame yourself,
The decisions that I've made,
I've made them for myself,
Whether those decisions,
Ended up good or bad,
They brought me to where I am,
I don't want you to be sad,
I may have only known you,
For a little time,
You may not be all that sad,
Because you know this time was mine,
Or maybe I have known you,
For a great many years,
And you might just let out,
All your held back tears,
I write this for my family,
Because my family is all my friends,
To let everyone know,
That this is not a bad end,
My life has been good,
I have lived it very well,
I have gone through adventures,
And I lived to tell,
But this last adventure,
I did not make it through,
So I just want you all to know,
I'll be missing you,
So if I die today,
I don't want you to be crying,
Because I've lived a good life,
Everyone should be smiling.

The Man That I Met

Try as I might,
I will never forget,
The day at the church,
And the man that I met,
He said, "Pray to the Lord,
And you shall receive,
Forgiveness for your sins,
And those you deceive,
I sank to my knees,
And gave thanks to the Lord,
For what he has done for us,
And the men he died for,
He died for his family,
He died for his friends,
He died as our savior,
Our sins he amends,
I stood to thank the man,
For I had received,
Forgiveness for my sins,
And those I'd deceived,
When I opened my eyes,
The man was gone,
I looked for him everywhere,
But he had moved on,
I asked the Preacher,
If this man he had known,
He gave me a strange look,
And said I'd been standing alone,
Try as I might,
I will never forget,
The day at the church,
And the man that I met.

You Would Never Know

From the outside,
I look like you,
A normal person,
With feelings and emotions,
Whom cares about everything,
Along with everyone,
How people are effected,
By the things that others do,
But on the inside,
I'm not anything like you,
You would never guess,
That I'm afraid to love,
That the thought of love scares me,
And to fall in love would kill me,
I'm too scared to try,
I'm too scared to get hurt,
Yet, all I think about is death,
I am tormented inside all the time,
I think about death,
How to commit suicide,
Which way would be less painful,
Which way would be more effective,
I am always happy on the outside,
I look like a normal person,
But you would never guess,
What I am capable of,
You would never guess,
That each and every day,
I am just one step closer,
To jumping over the edge,
You will never know,
How close I came to jumping today.

I See Me Like They Did

They have convinced me,
I know it's all true,
I know they see,
I see it how you do,
Told me the worst,
Things I didn't want to hear,
Made me self-conscious,
Afraid to let anyone near,
They were supposed to be my friends,
The ones who made me glad,
That I have them as my friends,
Not supposed to make me mad,
They'd point out every flaw,
Every single one they could see,
Not the good things I'd done,
Never the good things about me,
They have said these things,
Ever since I was young,
Only I never realize,
The worst had already begun,
It would end when I was small,
Because then they weren't mature,
Why they ever started it,
I'm really not all sure,
So now when I get compliments,
I don't know what to say,
I've never heard them before,
It's never been this way,
I don't know what to believe,
Is it all true?
Do they not see me now,
The way they used to?
I am not secure about my looks,
I feel like I was cursed,
Because now I see me like they did,
Not the best, but the worst.

In My Eyes

Deception and Betrayal,
Is what I most despise,
Which will be the reason,
Of the beginning of my demise,
Betrayal is a shadow,
Always there with me,
When I go to sleep at night,
That is all I see,
Deception is my nemesis,
Always beating me down,
Keeping me from succeeding,
My wills it holds bound,
I have taken it in,
I've done what all I must,
To keep from being hurt,
No longer do I trust,
But if you cannot trust,
You will never obtain,
The knowledge of Love,
The three that are most plain,
First the love of friendship,
Which will carry you through,
The hardest of times,
When friends are there for you,
Second the love of family,
Which you can count on,
To be in the situations,
When everything is gone,
Third the love of a partner,
The one who's always there,
No matter what the reason,
Your pain they always bear,
But since I do not trust,
These loves I will not receive,
I might be missing out,
But then I won't be deceived,
Deception and Betrayal,
Are what I most despise,
Because when you look at me,
That's all you see in my eyes.

Senior Class Poem

Our first hours were awkward,
Each uncertain of why we were here,
Which path we would take,
Who we would become.
Slowly,
As the years passed on,
The clouds began to clear,
Each person started to shift,
Changes went unnoticed,
Until the last transformation,
Was complete.
Months passed on,
Summers skipped by,
Relations began to form,
Blossoming into true friendships.
Tears were caused by endless laughter,
Confusion fogged our minds,
Hearts broke and shattered,
Lives filled with moments of frustration.
Suddenly we have advanced,
From freshmen to seniors,
Oldest and wisest of our years.
Gradually we reached the time,
To begin our concluding pieces,
Showing our peers what we've been taught,
How well we have learned.
Hours of work,
Dozens of papers finished,
Portfolios finally complete.
Exams are taken,
Classes are brought to an end.
For the last time we walk,
Through clear glass doors.
Raising our hands high,
We rejoice in our freedom.
Finally,
Four years later,
We are being unchained,
Let loose into a new world,
Full of adventures,
Hardships,
Tears,
And Joy.

Congratulations,
Graduating class of 2004.

Some Day

I stare at a blank wall.
Though no image resides on this bleak board,
Colors form and pictures appear,
Memories of times forgotten,
Places needing, wanting to be remembered.
Tears fill my eyes as each moment is renewed,
Relived.
Years of birthdays in a foreign land.
A beautiful home no longer my own.
My awkward and invigorating first kiss,
First love.
All forgotten.
Pushed to the back of a tiring mind,
Unable to handle the fear and anger that remain.
Eyes close and reopen,
Only a moment passes  by.
Time slips on,
Memories become forgotten,
Hoping to be set free,
Some day.
