Poetry

A friendship left behind!

You sit alone next to our favorite tree

The tree we always met at to talk about our day.

I want to run up to you and take the sadness away

But you pushed me away last week and now I’m invisible

To you.

You turn as if you sense someone watching you

And you stare right at me and that sadness turns into anger

True resentment is written on your face.

And I’m confused for I did not do anything for this hate to be so strong  in you.

Can’t you see the love, the confused look in my eyes

And before I know what is happening I’m running to you depending you tell me what’s wrong.

Then I wake and realize it was just a nightmare to the ending I never got.

Because,  that day so long ago I left you all alone and everything else.

If only I could explain it now to you, then maybe you would understand and would forgive me.

However like past I’m history to you, an faded memory of our childhood.

Smile

Seeing you smile at you me

Made me want to be happy too and so full of life

I‘ll never forget the moment I met you it felt like I found the other half of me

Life seemed so much better, so much more alive like the colors on the flowers seemed so much brighter I

Evened started to enjoy this life of mine,  it was all because you smiled at me that day and now everything is so much lighter in my life.

Poetry

Dear Friend

It is such a lovely day today

minus all the rain outside.

I wanted to say I miss you

and all the times we were goofy together.

I can’t believe we’ve been friends for almost nine years.

There’s been ups and downs but mostly on my part but you stuck around

even when I was so upset you couldn’t truly understand what I was saying.

You are a true friend and only want the best for me and sometimes that’s hard

to accept for I don’t know what I want out of life yet.

But at the end of the day even when we don’t talk I know our friendship will carry on because every time we feel we can’t get through this day.

We wake up the next and everything is such much better.

So I just want to say thank you for being my friend and lets keep blowing the darkness away because all I hear with you is the laugher, the joy of getting to spend another moment with you.

Poetry

The cure!

I thought I knew everything about what I would need to be happy, to not feel sad anymore.

But maybe I was wrong about what would be the cure for me.

As I wander through it all like stacks of paper that explain every moment of my life,

going through the moments I thought I wouldn’t be able to handle.

Until I get to the moment of today, and I realize that nothing seems to be the same because I’m not the same.

I know you want to try to get to the bottom of what makes me sad and I’ve tried to explain it to you as best as I can and maybe just maybe you will get it.

And maybe I will feel okay for at least I’m not alone on this journey of figuring out myself and maybe I’ll find my cure one day but for now I’m just happy to know.

I’m all I need to be happy for myself and I’m the strongest solider following my leader God and maybe one day I will have defeated all that makes me sad.

And that is all the hope I need to be okay today.

Poetry

Blindsided!

I’m trying to live for me and let in the people that matter to me.

But maybe I’ve been so blind to think you were my true friend.

I sit here thinking about what you said to me and I wonder  if you were ever meant to be here in my life.

I won’t stand for your foolishness and you can’t make me into someone I’m not.

Because you didn’t get your way, I won’t let your poison get into me and turn me into one of your evil minions.

I came so far I won’t just step aside and let you turn me into the things I hear about and know it would give a child nightmares.

I will put up my hands and push you away with the light pulsing through my heart.

With one blast your gone and the blackness of your poison pulls away.
