I Need Wings To Fly
Somebody fill my balloon
It's so defalted and wrinkled
Lying on the ground
Gathering dust and drying and cracking
I see people walking by and I wonder
hey maybe they could do it
Maybe her, maybe she's the one
But my heart doesn't really hope
Love...I think love is the answer
But I've tried that before
I had love and I threw it away
So how could that be the answer
I need wings to fly
I've got tears to cry
I've got a heart to break
And more mistakes to make
But I need wings to fly
I need inspiration to try
I need a soul that's whole
And untrampled
I need hope and a rope
And then maybe I'll climb
I need wings to fly
I need help to try
I need wings to fly
Without hope, I'll die

Like The Ocean Tide
Sinking deep inside myself, like an ocean tide that rushes in, it washes away my joy and wipes away my grins.
Fighting hard to find my way out, the deeper I go the darker it gets, letting me know that reality seems so far off.
Wanting to scream, but who would hear and if they did who would care? If I were to stay here inside myself would anyone miss me?
Am I here to serve a purpose, or am I just here to serve as an object to get in the way?
I am afraid alll the time, I cry so much it seems that it is the only emotion I have left, it's been so long since a real smile came upon my face.
Deeper and deeper I seem to go, no one cares, no one knows. I hear the sounds from outside myself, sounds of horror I would rather not see, sounds of thunder that comes from a mouth.

The Day My Mom Almost Dies...
Sixteen, I'm only sixteen
Yet, all of a sudden, I feel like I have experienced
So much
It all happened so fast
~*~
When I was little she hugged me a lot
She'd comfort me when I was so worried that I couldn't sleep
She was sad a lot
But I knew how to make her happy sometimes
She taught me how to cook
And wrap gifts
And clean and take care of my dad
I'm sure it was her I learned this all from
~*~
When she was sick
I hugged her a lot
I comforted her when she was sop worried she didn't know what to do
She was tired a lot
And I knew to let her sleep
I brushed her teeth and her hair
I held her hand
I told her never to leave me again
I cried for her
And I cooked and I cleaned and I took care of my dad for her
And I comforted myself when I was so worried that I couldn't sleep or think
~*~
I never felt so alone in my life
But I knew that she was with me
I knew that she would never leave me
Because even though I'm sixteen I still need my mommy to teach me and comfort me and hug me.
And I always will

His Name Was Roger
His name was Roger.
He tried to teach me what love is but I didn't want to learn,
All I wanted to do was spend the money he earned,
He was such a sweet person he spoke from the heart,
In our relationship he always played his part,
Why did he go why did they kill him,
Did anyone tell those animals that murder is a sin,
I know I should let him rest in peace but I can't,
He did so much for me and I never showed him any aprreciation,
All I would do is complain like an old woman,
He was 26 when he died and he had so much love inside,
He was not full of pride instead he was humble and sweet,
If I could see him right now I would kiss his feet,
And tell him how much I admire him,
All I have left is his diamond ring,
And this beautiful gold chain he gave me,
I never heard him say the word no never,
And his attitude towards life was whatever,
We used to always talk about life being short,
And he tought me not to care what others thought,
He turned my life around and made me happy,
Too bad I couldn't do the same for him.

Forming A Poem
Seasons of heart
Reasons apart
Before my lack of time
My strings untwine
And in one simple suggestion
They begin to rhyme.

Times
Times of ocean
Wash and wave
Times of men
Wife and slave
Times of ship
Sail and sway
Times of end
Behold new days

All I Ever Wanted
You are all I ever wanted
But this I am denied
I cannot tell you how many nights
I sat here and I cried.
Sometimes I feel that you know me
Better than anyone I've known
Overtime this feeling in my heart
For you has only grown
So what do I do with this?
How much more of it can I take
Before I fall on my knees again
I wish that I could hold you
How I wish you to be near
This is just a dream to me
And yet it seems so clear
From any place I've been
In this place I don't have to hide my feelings
But in reality...they stay within.

Distressed, Depressed, And Inspired
Air under my wings, to catch air under my wings
Oh what a feeling oh waht a thrill to feel...the air
Under my wings to actually dare to have my wings spread
I feel more single than ever and yet more poetic
I may have lost my heart, fumbled away my soul
But now as I grasp my pen I feel total control
Now as I try I feel I can fly I have wings
Fear is moving out, or at least stepping aside
And I feel alive, free to glide on puff of air
If I dare I might even choose to live and give
And BE...
Perhaps this is all just another manic high
Perhaps it'll all be vanquished with a defeated sigh
But tonight I have wings and hope and life
Tonight I will soar, for the ground is not my master.
In fact I have no master tonight. Tonight I'm piloting
My own ship, making my own map, living my own dream.

But Only In My Dreams
Last night you came to me
But only in my dreams
You showed me the love you hold
And the light you see.
Last night you held me close
I listened to your heart
I wonder if it'd be like that
If my dream I did start.
Pulling you from this dream
Crossing the fine line
Wanting to know if you'd love me
And if you'd always hold me there in your mind.
I want to know if you'd kiss me
Like the way you did in my dream
I want to know if you'd hold me
And lay there still with me.
I opened my eyes only to find
Thinking of you I was still...
Taking my heart for granted
I know this...You never will.
So on this day I confess it's true
I'm going out of my mind thinking of you.

Goodnight Dear Friend
Saying goodbye to such a dear friend,
Your life on earth has come to an end.
With the smile on your face each time you look my way
Left me with a warm feeling each and every day.
With tears in my eyes as I kneel to pray
I'll ask the angels to guide you on your way.
Angels of Life
Angels of hope
Angels of light
Touch this soul on his final flight!
Step in lightly
To help him fight
In his battle, for his homeward flight!
Your hands can ease the pain
Your love can ease the sorrow
His soul will rest with you, in his great tomorrow!
With shortness of breath
As his heart grows weak
Touch his soul so frail so meek!
Ease the pain he holds within
Let him know friends surround him
Close his eyes, and hold him tight
As he slips into the light!
Goodnight Dear Friend Until We Meet Again
My Thoughts Of You Will Never End!
Goodbye Marvin. Someday we shall meet again.
Your death has touched a lot of friends, Your smile will never be forgotten.

The Dark Sky...
Under this dark sky I see
So many possibilities
I see that I know how to dream
I'll close my eyes for now
I'll think of only lovely thoughts
For my mind it does not know how.
I'll think of the brightest star
I'll be on it oh so far
My time in this place you see
Will not last so long for me.
So my star can take me high
Make me fly up to the moon
Show me all the world from there
And return me all too soon.
I'll look down to see everyone
Knowing you're out there too
Send a special wish
One from me to you.
I'm only hoping that you'll visit me
On your own star in the sky
Because you know I still think of you
And I never question why.
I can't see any rainbows
For it is night
But you know, you my friend
Have filled my heart with delight.
So on this night I'll dream of you
Riding with me in the sky
Hoping that you are well
As this night passes by.

Stranger In My Heart...
You show your light in such a way
Stranger in my heart
How fond I am of you today
I still remember the start...
You came to me with some words
On this one sad day
You showed me how you can reach out
With your words in such a way.
You closed your eyes for a minute there
And remembered how to dream
You shared your heart and soul
Bringing a smile to me.
On any day I could call you "friend"
For the many things you've shared
But nothing could replace
The feeling that you cared.
So anytime you're feeling down
It might cheer you just to know
There is a place in my heart
That not very many go.
It's the palce I set aside
Only for my dreams
I can go places there
That I have never seen.
I can go to the stars
Or fly around the moon
I can sit in a garden on a sunny afternoon.
One thing I cannot do...
Is tell my heart how to feel
Sometimes I"d have a dream and it seemed so very real.
Then my eyes would open
And all I would find
Is that I was thinking
About this stranger friend of mine.
Stranger in my heart
I must thank you now
For sending some inspiration
When my heart did not know how.
I must tell you that you have given me
Some hopes of rainbow skies
Sometimes when I go to sleep
I'll think of you before I close my eyes.
Soon on this night I'd call your friend
And I'll hope your kindness never parts
Because you know this is true...
You're the stranger in my heart.

Waterfall Of Love
As the waterfall falls so does love,
From a loving heart.
When that heart begins to flow,
there is another heart involved,
this heart knows to flow the love too.
The trickles of love shows before,
it begins to flow like a beautiful waterfall,
wehn love and waerfalls come together.
That's when love begins,
between two loving hearts.
Them two loving hearts can share their love,
even though they are miles apart.
Nothing can stop the flow of love,
just like the waterfall falling,
so love is waiting to fall like a waterfall,
each and every day between two loving herats.

Giving Into You
When I first met you, how was I to know...
that after a little time would pass...
our love would truly grow.
But the thought was there...
inside my mind...
to deep to let it hide
now what we share has made me see...
how good I could feel inside.
You have showed me things I have never seen...
and taken me far away...
I can't begin to thank you...
or even know what to say...
That I'm in love with you.
I'm giving into you...
because that I feel that is right...
now I'm sitting here waiting...
to hear from you tonight.
My phone just rang...
and I'm hoping it's you on the other end...
I want you not only as my companion...
but also my best friend. So I'm giving into you...
not knowing what maybe...
but I'm trusting the way I feel inside...
and soon enough I'll see.

Love
Love is cute,
Love is neat,
Love is something.

I Just Can't Help Myself
I'm falling in love with you
And I just can't help myself
but you are choosing to leave this
and I just can't help you
I'm finding myself wanting you more than ever
and of course your leaving
and of course you make it all so complicated
like it wasn't complicated enough
when I was falling so hard and so fast
that I couldn't help any of it
and I still can't
even if you make that choice
to leave all this behind
this helpless, hopeless love
that I, at least, have found
and fallen into
and I just can't help myself
or you
