Title: "Oh how He Loves"
"Oh how He Loves."
"My mind said "GO", but my soul begged "NO",
my mind over powered.
my body was numb, 'fore i was dumb,
my heart slowly began to shrivel.
my ways were bad, a dark heart is what i had,
the evil one had embraced me.
i thought "whats the point?", "i've got nothing to lose."
i was young and naive.
my actions reached a climax, i couldn't take it back,
i had given half of my heart away.
throughout it all, i could never stand tall,
confidence was my weakness.
i didn't feel love, not even from above,
i now have deep dark secretes.
always tired and lazy, thats just not me,
i longed for something more.
(i thought) a God so mighty, could never forgive me,
so, i continued on.
taken from my heart an entire chunk, everything inside completely sunk,
my inside was quickly fading.
just when i thought i was going to die, God snatched me up! right outta the sky!
a radiant light had been reveled.
My God saved sinful 'ol me, i thought how could this be?!
oh how He loves.
with scares covering my heart, God tore them apart!
He filled the gaps with His love.
slowly my heart began to heal, the feeling was SO real,
God made me new again.
He turned on the light, how bright! What a sight!
Hope had been restored.
Franklin Tennessee, is where He dropped me,
an entirely new environment!
friends are shocked at what i saw, my secretes i now no longer recall,
i'd much rather forget.
when asked for my story, i say "I give God the glory!"
thats nothing but the truth.
ive grown to love my life, free from any strife,
i couldn't have asked for anything more.
open, now, are my eyes, no need for a disguise,
oh how He loves.
I bend a knee, "God what more do you want of me?"
i am now and forever His.
i've made great friends! that'll last 'til the end,
oh how He blesses.
i now reach out, without fear or doubt,
I am God's tool.
i sometimes cry, because i do not know why,
i was young and lost.
i can now see, God still loves me,
'fore He was always there.
This is for you, and what you must do,
remember 1 Timothy 4:12.
no matter what you do, God's ALWAYS there for you,
just stop, and believe.
when you feel in the dark, flee and check your heart,
Praise God for common sense.
Don't turn from your shame, look ahead and call on His name,
face your fears.
look up above, and remember God's GREAT love,
oh how He Loves."

Poem # 18
Written: 12-27-10
title: "Summer Winds"
"warm. hot. burning.
sidewalks steaming, ice cream churning.
pools are overflowing with splashing kids, and fans are using up all the electricity.
air conditioning never felt so good.
shorts. tanks tops. swim suits.
pool parties scheduled back to back, homework is the #1 lack,
all fun and games all day long,
movies, malls, guys and girls,
some heads start to frizz,
camps are running rampant.
late night sleepovers, waking up at 2pm.
church in sun dresses, sharing tears, fears, and good times,
no plans. no cares. dark tans.
summer winds blow all throughout the three months, spreading joy and laughter, the air is clear and school is nowhere near."

title: "crazy puppy love."
"Crazy love.
its puppy love on steroids.
love.
its a strong word.
crazy.
it cant be tamed.
when you put the two words together its not good.
crazy love.
it'll hurt someone.
puppy love.
cant be taken seriously.
puppy.
cute, small, fluffy animal.
love.
its a very strong word.
when you put the two words together its not good.
crazy puppy love.
its dangerously dangerous to mess with.
it hurts people.
it hurt me."

Poem #16

title: none
"staring at at the night sky trying hard not to cry. wishing i could truly have you sit right here talking with me. i was so dang lost until i found you. and then POOF! you magically appeared. years later growing apart always brings so much pain. suffering is hard, and being alone makes it harder and even worse. i tried wishing on one of those stars. the light must have burnt out because im still here hoping for the best but knowing its not going to change my course.
walking down the sidewalk i happen to stop and look at everyone around. i found couples and lovers and all of a sudden my foot hits the ground. i remember the way you used to look at me when we were tweens, i never know i could be so jealous of strangers. i watch them like i'm like im at the zoo in awe wishing it was me and you. but then my foot hits the ground.
the city lights are all around. no hiding from the brightest building. it's big and tall, the best one to shop at in the whole entire town. it's beautiful and makes me wonder how such a thing was made. i've always heard great reports from this store but never dared to enter through its doors. i open the clear glass to let myself through but its locked. i knock and knock but no answer. i look through the other windows and inside people are laughing at me and i'm being mocked. i guess the store doesn't have enought room for everyone to shop in. i hate to be out of season with my clothes but i guess it's time to take a hint. i should probably start shopping at target.
the stop lights. red.yellow.green.in our relationship, a few certain people had the courage to intervene. we were stuck in traffic and im honking the horn, but you don't seem to hear it! it's like a silent movie, words unspoken! i'm trying to tell you something bad is going on but the light turns green. i forget to go and i finally start to leave but then it changes to yellow. i leave at green but i cant find you. i lost you. i put my pedal to the metal but you proceed without me and went to fast. now my car is breaking down and i pull to the side of the road, the engine is busted. no hope for repairing and no money in the bank. i guess i'll have to walk home."

because i care very much,
so, please understand that i do have friends and if you'd let me talk
with you, you'll find that we'll be friends too.
please know that i'm not slow, dumb or that i just don't care,

title: "mom"
"you catch them when their fallin, you answer them when their callin
you can tell when they're lying, and you wipe their tears when they're crying,
your their teacher, friend and sometimes foe,
and when they're not acting themselves you're the first one to know,
you're a true role model as a friend and as a mom!"
this is for all you moms out there! :)

title: "drown it out"
"i hear the words,
i hear the sentences,
i know the meanings,
i know they're bad,
so i drown it out.
i hear how they speak,
i see their lips move,
it s every other word,
i know they can do without,
so i drown it out.
i see their actions,
i hear them swear,
i see them talk without a care,
so i drown it out.
i pray for these kids everyday,
hoping that someday they'd say
"be quiet" or "your kind"
i can't imagine what goes through
their minds when they say those things,
those dark, evil, crude, meaningless things.
i just sit there and think these poor kids...
they need a solid rock on which to stand.
they all need a helping hand,
i just hope they'd understand,
that if they need love,
all they have to do is look up above,
and no they won't need to stare,
they just need to know that there is someone
there who does care!
hes the guy who made two a pair,
hes the big man upstairs,
i hope they'd just realize that God is there
for them without a doubt,
hes the guy i go to help me
drown it out."
