The Library

It had been a long day of researching

And  the quietness of the library helped me focus

For the first time this semester.

I felt good to not have to rush to pull this paper

Together, and it was quite an interesting subject.

But as I looked up from the book I had been reading

And checked my phone is was almost  8pm and I was starving

But as I collected my stuff, something brushed  past me.

As I looked up no one was near me but I just shook it off and

Left, hoping the cafeteria was serving something with chocolate

For dessert.

As I finished my dinner and looked in my bag for my keys, they weren’t there but I had them at the library.

I swear I had picked them up, ugh I can’t get in my car or my apartment and the all is too long.

I have to go back to the library now,  I walk as fast as I can go to get there even though it doesn’t close until 1 am.

I’m getting tired and just want to go home, I reach the library in no time and quickly take the elevator to the third level and walk to the end to the abandoned  table near the window out looking the park.

As I look around I spot the keys in the corner underneath the table, and as

I reach down to get them something touches my back.

And whispers, “ I will take your soul to keep, forever if you don’t help me get out of this place.”

I hit my head, as I rubbed it with my right hand I grabbed my keys with my left  and got up, only to see a pale face staring out me.

I can’t move as my body begun to shake with fear, the pale-faced boy opened his mouth and.

Said: “You have two months to get me out of here or you will be enjoying next semester with me in smelly old library forever!! And this isn’t  a dream the last girl didn’t take me serious and she’s haunting the second floor of this place.”

As quickly as he spoke, he was gone and I  was left alone to figure out how to save my soul and finish this semester without failing.

Because if I could get it all done, I might just transfer out of this place.

But, first I need to find the poor girl haunting the second floor and save her as well.

For my friend Susan disappeared last semester and the second floor of the library was her getaway place.

My last words

mywords2228

I don’t know what my last words will be

Or who will be around me for it’s not my time yet.

I hope, I would think I would have little to say or a lot

Depending on who I’ll  be talking to.

But as I lay there dying, I hope I’ll be surrounded by love ones

And nice things will be said and I will go in peace knowing I

Completed all I was meant to do and said all that needed to be said.

I’d probably be brutally honest  and let you all have it and probably

Won’t all be good words coming out my mouth but you’ll get over it

When I’m gone.

In the end I hope you’ve said all you had too to me and when it’s time

you feel as free as I will.

So lay me down when I am dying and talk my ear off and let me do the

same until I leave with smile on my face and knowing I’m going to a better place I hope.

But I also hope you will be okay and strong when I’m gone, and I want you to know it’s okay to carry on without me and more joy will come and I will always be in your heart.

 

sincerely,

Me laying here dying for all to see one day!

Warm bodies who are you?

mywords2228

Warm bodies cuddle together on a cold night

Warm bodies try to brave the heat

Of the sun shining down on them.

Warm bodies work hard to make a living

To be inspired, to create something new.

Everyday they get up and walk up the hill

And fall on their knees to see what life has for

Them on the other side.

These warm bodies are called human beings and

They have so many names.

They grow up trying to be more than someone would

Say they could be, for they wanted to be  better, stronger, wiser.

Only to end up in place a little better than before they went

Off and dreamed about the life  that seemed so possible if

They just believed in more than what they can see.

These warm bodies enjoy many things and they really just want

The things in life that are meaningful, and a place to call home.

Save me from the flames!

mywords2228

What do you do when you’re engulfed by flames?

Do you drop, dunk and roll?

Or do you decide you’ve lived long enough, and end up burning up and becoming a pile of ashes?

Or maybe the flames aren’t literal but all in your head.

For you messed up so bad that everything you touched was engulfed in flames.

And there was no going back for you messed up for good.

And as you cry, everything just disappears into thin air.

You than begin to worry if you will

always be so lonely and without all the things you loved.

You slowly start to change and don’t worry about how long it

may take  for the things you need are always around.

But no matter how many times you try to change the flames

soon surround you, and as you try to scream the flames begin to

engulf you.

And you’re gone and no one seems to have notice you’re not  acting like yourself anymore

and in the place of who you were is the flame.

It begins to burn every bridge you ever built and no one seems to care as you push them away.

And  you cry from the inside of the prison the flame left you in.

Maybe one day you will be able to fight away the flames that

engulfed the person you used to be and the people you used to care for.

One of my favorite movies

mywords2228

Eat, pray, love is a good movie and I loved everything about it. I loved the stages she took to find herself and not just keep living the same old life. This poem is inspired by this movie.

 

I didn’t want to wake up and complain about how everything

Is the same and it’s not fair, when I’m not doing anything about it.

I packed up all the things that carried great memories and threw the rest away.

No need to hold on to the past things or words when they do more harm been kept and remembered.

I feel so free now as I walk away from the baggage that held me back all these

Years.

I’m not a kid anymore and so my old toys have to go, and they will be replaced with books and movies and sketchbooks.

Who am I? I said to myself when all was lost and I had fallen off the wagon I had once been on.

My happiness is a rocky road for it is not always around, but I  don’t let the sadness stay for long.

Things that seemed so simple become so much harder to deal with when you’ve lost your way over and over again.

But you don’t give up because right now you’re at your strongest, and it’s time to fight for your not alone in this battle.

It’s all up  to you to eat up the food, the knowledge and to pray every step of the way.

Also, to love with all your heart for something’s only happen once and the new you wants to live it all.

Leaving no rock unturned, and for the first time in a long time you smile and laugh on your own for everything you’ve been searching for is right in front of you.

Forever!

How to be free

mywords2228

First accept who you are, for what’s worse than not feeling

free in your own body.

Do what your heart desires and trust yourself when you feel

It in your gut.

Let your mind  set you free when your voice  gets you

In trouble.

Never ever let anyone tell you, you’re not good enough for

No one knows your talent like you do.

And even though you know so much, you still not afraid to ask for help.

So many things you feel free to do in this world.

Like reading and writing, researching things that interest you.

Listening to music or making music, music has so many sounds and we all are free to make it on our own.

Then you have the ability to make the quality and quantity of things because

You want too.

Freedom is all we want when it comes to life and there so many shades of

What we call free or feel free.

Discontent

mywords2228

It was a cold winter day and the thought of how to keep warm

was very dissatisfying.

I had to start a fire and once that’s up and burning, I  would have

to keep that going by consistently checking on it, to make sure it

doesn’t go out.

My discontent for this cold winter night doesn’t help me to want to

enjoy another night of this unbearable weather.

Even a nice hot cup of tea couldn’t  keep my mind off how miserable I was

right now.

Why the Sun is

mywords2228

Splendid a thousand times over

It’s beautifully bright and it has the ability to

Create sunsets and sunrise.

And the ability to take your breath away, and

When the red sun comes around everyone wants

To stay up or get up early to see it and if lucky take a picture of it.

The sun is something we learn about and study for we need to understand it.

The sun can be great help when taking a photo and you want that natural lighting.

It brings light into your dark mornings of getting up early for

Work or it just shines into your room when you needed some light in your life.

The sun is splendid and just something to look forward to every day and always puts a smile on my face.

I’ll keep enjoying the sun a thousand times more each and everyday, week and month.

Meet me at Midnight

mywords2228

Take me away from the evil Lord!

For I just want to be good and to do good

But the evil temptation and sin lurk at every

Corner and so I run fast away from them everyday.

But, even if the evil doesn’t get me today, tomorrow or

This week it’s always around, waiting for an unlucky victim.

It’s evil fog lingers at the edge of the garden, waiting for me.

To make the wrong mistake and touch the fruit from the tree that is not meant for me.

I try to withstand the temptation  but it is so strong the pull, I’m trying to break the chain.

So I don’t end up like Adam and Eve, I want to make the good outweigh the evil.

So I’m going to stand strong in this garden at midnight and set the evil straight with a touch of your light.

Pushing the evil fog away for good, and know once it is gone life will be better.

But the struggle of evil and good will still be around, but knowing Lord this battle I do not fight alone.

For it’s you and me until the end, and I’m listening to every

Word you have to say and I’m trying with all my might to do it your way.

The fury inside of you!

mywords2228

The sound of your voice when its calm

Is lovely and sweet and pure.

But when your mad it becomes out strong and determined

It makes you realize how, you are upset and you make sure.

It comes across crystal clear that you won’t tolerate ignorance or disrespect ever.

The sound of your fury is quite frightening, it makes every bone in my body shake.

I hate to see you mad for, sometimes the tears fall

And you shake for the anger is too much to content.

But you use all the strength you have to keep your

Hands to yourself.

And you close your mouth and try so hard to keep

the nasty words to yourself for tomorrow is a new day

And by then the fight or argument will be over.

The Cycle

It all starts when three things go bad

And of course you never think about it.

Because the Butterfly effect may not have

Happened to you.

But it happened to her,  and it all started on a rainy day.

First the she went out in the rain and got wet getting into the car.

Secondly, after enjoying her time in the library, she walked out smiling up at the sky silently thanking it that the  rain had finally stopped.

Only to step right into a massive puddle, soaking both shoe’s completely.

Thirdly, she had to drive home barefooted and then step out, and walk on her wet driveway and the steps leading up to her house.

She strongly regrets coming out today, for you should have waited for the rain to go way to enjoy her day.

Wicked

mywords2228

Your wickedly evil

You try to play me like a fool.

I didn’t see you coming

For I was blinded by your smile

But it really wasn’t a friendly smile.

More like a little smirk, because you

Lucked out and found a new victim to torture.

With your games you played with my mind

And I was trapped, until you slipped up and

Fell flat on your butt .

And  I saw through your lies, your wicked.

And I didn’t see you coming, but I survived

Your lies and defeated you once and for all.

I see you and your smile captures me

And I fall just a little bit inside.

But I take my time to figure you out

So I truly know who’ve I’ve fallen for.

Things  start out like a dream that I’ve

Been able to live in everyday, oh lucky me.

Soon reality kicks in and everything takes a

rough spin and nothing seems to be able to stop

This pain  that has no end.

And when it ends, sadness is over flowing but

Soon your words left behind give me strength.

To go on with a smile on my face and a laugh

Waiting to escape my lips again one day.

But today is bright, and I owe it all to the time

I had with you.

To the mismatched lovers

Her pride was not all that she had

But she was sure to show you she was

Strong and determined to do anything.

He didn’t mean to judge her but he had

Not met someone like her before so she

Had shocked him into stupidity.

No one thought they would fall in love

But they were stubborn and knew how

They felt for each other but fought like it

Was a battle.

But in the end love knocked them

On their butts and the pride took a back seat and the

Judging went in hiding. And love out shined it all.

I call desperately for your help

But you don’t hear me, even though I’m

Right across the room, but you just swipe

Ignore.

And I’m all alone again, with no one to call

for help for you were my last result.

And now my phone is dead and the

Feeling has grown so strong that I can’t breathe

And my throat is closing in on me.

Why didn’t you help me, oh please I

Beg of you help me please, I can’t do this alone.
