"true Friends Stab You In the Front.

Even though we've changed and we're all finding our own place in the world,
we all know that when the tears fall or the smile spreads across our face, 
we'll come to each other because no matter where this crazy world takes us, 
nothing will ever change so much to the point where we're not all still friends.

I stand here today
blessed and okay
willings and just fine

I stand here today
and you is still a friend of mine
that walked with me along the same pathway

we had our ups and downs
seen and mixed in middle of fights
but at the end of days and days we all seem to come around
to put aside our differences and who's wrong and who's right
cause at the end of a hard day, when family isnt present, friends is the next best
they turn into dat play brutha, sista, cuzo, or that favorite guest

they was the one who always brought priceless smiles
they gave the best gifts
they made bad days worth while
they turned sad days into lifts
they made the most boring moments fun
when your feets was tired, they'll go the extra mile and take your run

sometimes you have to watch who you call friends
covered in masks, fony lies and a need to betray
i stand hear today
remembering all the ones we lost along the way
how i tried and tried to bring the pieces back to one
but the picture never took frame
we think how we was back stabbed, cheated, and skipped along like a ruleless game

I stand here today wondering the true meaning of a friend

A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you 
just the way you are.

One More Time

i keep saying one more time
one more time
over and over again
Once that chance ends another one always begins. 
With each chance there's this regret. 
I wish i never knew you like another persons secret. 
Why does everything have to go down the drain. 
why is your presence my pain
why does when i walk away down comes rain
with and without you make my life go insane

one more time never came with a smile
one more time ruin my worth while
each one more time i waited for a change
one more time my feeling neva seemed to be rearrange
when will you show me the proof
when will you stop ruining my parade and put up a roof

why want you appreicate my one more time
one day there won't be a one more time
it won't be yours and it couldn't be mine
cause i refuse to give out one more "im fine"
when i know im lying through each line
i give you again one more time

Willing

im willing to be taught

willing to forget and learn from my faults

so come and teach

the top is my aim and my reach

 

Im all ears

free from burdens and tears

You have my undivided attention

Im here to listen

 

i've messed up

now times turn my heart rough

stone cold

i grow a new hold

im ready to make right

i give in, im throwing in my fight

 

limb my arms

forgive for my harms

today i knock down my barrier to my wall

speak to me i hear the call

Where Did You Go

You are a sad person, you know? 
Where's that unbending strength at? 
Where's that unbreakable smile? 
I'm the only one who understands how you feel. 
Your smile was always shining. 
But you lost yourself. 
You made this sadness grow. 
You tighten up your heart tight. 
You just gave up your personallity to be someone your not. 
My best friend 
The one I chase. 
Why did you vanish, without a trace. 
Won't you come back? 
Where did you go? 

-Michael Nguyen 

i ask myself where did i go 
i look for the answer everywhere, hoping to know 
i lost who i am and forgot the person i were 
im taking ppl for granted and pretending like i care 
i really do but this knew person just won't 
what is this new skin that covers the surface of my old 
it block the good and let out all that's needed to be told 
i am a sad person and i has its hold 
away ran my strength and now all that lingers is the cold 
my morining smile is now a dull penny 
all my needs are sacare and not plenty

Hard Mending a Broken Heart

only i know what my heart truly speak

what strengthen it and makes it weak

how it loves and refuse to care

how it falls apart and lives through every tear

 

no one can make my mind

can't make me realize something i just can't see

its lost and i mite never find

off in the world Better off with out me

 

I'm me no matter what

couldn't stop even if i tried

what is it about me

that one day i'm the reason the hearts cried

i mend it so much but it comes to be as me

 

another heart hanging off its hinges

pumping and raging in its anger

hooked like a hanger

can't go no where without help

cautious with every step

 

heart fade away from my grip

take your breath and release your lips

set your self free

erase your memory of me

inward my heart lure

i tell you for sure

run run as fast as you can

go, love, smile, have another woman

 

my heart hold none

delights in the moment

enjoys the fun

i'm here for today, tomorrow i went

 

love is not of my performance

if it came my way I'll pass up the chance

it is not my will

won't work for it, i rather stay at the bottom of that hill

it is not my aim

feels like a meaningless game

 

my heart was once a platform

made for this this ruthless game

around and around, face made of shame

give one all

only to experience a fall

 

now my heart won't let want others can

I'll never be your woman

All My Poems and Writing

when i write i speak my mind
nice, evil, mean and kind
i write word from word of my heart
straight from the keyboard, tearing the keys apart
pen to paper, empty space disappear
my heart grows faint and in a franite fear
what was once held in, is now out
told through a whisper or a shout
its however u read it and percieve it
u mite understand or mite neva get
read in between the line
feel it, copy it, and then call it mine
what is here is what i wrote
piece of my heart was told off through each note
each line is mine, i'll neva steal
i write wat i feel
i'll neva take away a piece of another thoughts

That Guy

i know you are that guy. 
the boy that's keep asking me why. 
in return i just answers i just don't know. 
there's alot goin through my head dats not so easy to let go.
i know you're that boy, that know matter what you refuse to say good-bye. 
when the day comes to an end i know you are dat guy.....

a guy who calls a gurl beautiful instead of hot, 
who calls a gurl back when you hang up on him,
who will lie under the stars and listen to her heartbeat,
or will stay awake just to watch her sleep... 
a boy who wait to kisses her forehead,
who wants to show her off to the world when she are in sweats,
who holds herr hand in front of his friends,
who thinks she's just as pretty without makeup on. 
One who is constantly reminding her of how much he cares and how lucky he's is to have 
her....
The one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's her.'”

Payoff of Childhood

seems like today is  june 9, 1992
when the doctor held me out to you
ballons and banner say's its a girl
a beautiful baby born into the world

seem like yesterday i was brought from a dark womb into light
felt like only yesterday i was held day and night
changed and fed
directed and lead

almost 18 years later and i wonder if i can turn around
im lost and haven't been found
stop i can't go back and run
i wake up everyday and this 17 year old girl returns

saying to life that you've reach your first milestone
life have just began and your childhood is somewhat gone
left behind in baby and memory books
hanging on old picture frames from hooks

its that time people expect for you to call on mommy and daddy a little less
its that time for knowing and not a time of guess
Do you know where you're going or not?
You have to answer that question right on the spot

There's no time for figuaring out or saying "i have yet to know"
they're ready to refurnish your room and tell you to go
For the life they prepared you for
For many years and more

Seem like yesterday i was still this child
Seem like yesterday when things didn't seem so wild
Im 17 years old and according to the law im not grown
But guess what Im making serious decisions on my own
Decisions that will affect my life and whats ahead
Decisions that saying im no longer a kid

In 20 days im leagal by law
but in a heart beart i'll get down on my two paws
to expericene the blast of childhood
i think again and i don't think i should

all i work for has shown
in three days im across the stage and gone
waving to my younger sibblings and setting that postive example

One Over Another

life goes and never stops
i stand here and my life hops
From prospect to prospect
losing all dignity and my respect
things just seem to fade
getting chopped and cut from the blade
friends disappear one at a time
some say that its all fine
sure u lose sum and gain sum
but those had value and memories behind
i can't understand this distress of my mind
you chose yourself over the valuable friendship
pain kissed me on the lips
as the rose began to die in my hand
the connection fades and we just can't understand
which one must be put first
the answer comes in the end
not the one been searching for, its the worst
the one that end u as a friend
