A Sad Holiday

My routine eats at me day after 
day it's always the same time 
for some change a different 
light a different perspective a 
different world it's a damn 
shame how this time of year is 
suppose to be the happiest but 
for some odd reasons all I see 
is misery hatred rudeness and 
people wonder why this is my 
least favorite time of year 
what's the point broken family 
in a broken home never really 
been the same see happiness 
and it depresses me wondering 
if I will ever experience that I'm 
a cross between misunderstood 
and confused I want to enjoy 
the holidays but why something 
bad always happens this time a 
year I lose a friend a friendship 
dies family members fight the 
true meaning of christmas it's 
not Santa Claus it's not 
presents its happiness 
forgiveness family and friends 
and all I wanna do is be as far 
away from everyone as I can 
no one needs to see my 
sadness or feel my pain

My Dream Come True

The moon rises and the sun sets this days is over and ended in an amazing way I finally got to see the true you who would of thought you would be so true beautiful on the inside and out as perfect as one can be could it be possible I've found the lady of my dreams a smile that can light up the midnight sky an eyes see straight into my soul but also has a sense of humor a thing truly hard to come by always keeping me smiling all day and night long

The Tears Are Shed

The tears are shed the weakness is fear my days are dark my nights are darker my mouth spits anger and the pain of my life hate has filled the one place in my life my blood boils with the things I've been threw I've walked a million miles and have retraced them all look into my eyes deep into my soul can you see the pain the pain I behold the scares remind me of my misfortunes how do I turn my darkness to light my frown to a smile my fear into happiness these are all questions I ask night after night

Faith

This world is crazy at times the uncertainty of the unexpected is mind blowing what is right and left what is north and south east and west what is day light and darkness what is sunshine and rain these are all things we are taught but how do we know these as being truthful or are they illusions of our own mind its our belief in faith that allows us to know what is north and south we have faith in the person who has told us this and has not made us to be a fool and actually told us the truth thats whats wrong with our world today we have lost faith in each other in our brothers and sisters when you lose faith you lose manners when you lose manners you become hateful when you become hateful you die alil in side life is to short to lose faith to short to be rude to short to take every little breath we take in this universe for granted so slow down world cherish your moments have faith that there is good still left in the crazy world of ours know that not everyone is out to get you know that one day our days will end and i refuse to sit back and say that i lost faith in this beautiful world that i have lost manners that i have lost my way i am not perfect by any means but i do my best to live every day as its a blessing i put my all into everything i do even if i comes back to kick me in the ass sometimes but i can honestly say i will never lose my faith

Lost

I'm feeling so lost right know I can't tell what's right or left north or south east or west right or wrong I sit here lost I'm my emptiness of my life and soul where did I turn wrong where did I lose my way my compass is struggling to help me find the right directing lost in the struggles of my mind never to be found people can't begin to imagine my struggle I've lived threw so many wrong turns so many times I've had to retrace my steps so many times I go to give up so many time I sit in one spot in my mind and think for days and days I wonder why this compass can't help me I wonder why the north star has misguided me I'm tired of having to start over again month after month day after day night after night it's a wonder why I haven't just given in yet and just sink into the lost abyss of the darkness called my life

New Love

Close my eyes all I see is your eyes they sparkle in the back of my mind a smile that lights up my life the personality of the most amazing woman I've ever meet this could be the beginning of something special something that could be a once in a life time thing you have so many qualities you win me more and more a beautiful independent single mom that all seems like the signs of perfection so seems I'm falling which is hard for me I'm scared to death but that once in a life time smile makes my fears ease and fade I feel this is that once in a life time thing

A New Beginning

A dark night black as could ever be I see all the shadows of my past haunting me laughing at mocking me I'd give anything to rewind erase or relive but I know they say you shouldn't have any regrets but honestly how many people can say they have none we always have what if's but on this dark night I seen a shooting star and finally things come into perspective instead of wanting to hit the rewind button hit the record button and start today as a new one and remember the past is the past and hasn't happened and the future hasn't happened so live today as its a brand new day a fresh start to help ease all of your regrets

Fear

Heart ache heart break is the definition of fear why must it be fear I have given my heart to a couple and what happens besides heart ache or heart break first comes fear and than anger and hate why is this cuz we will be hard to love again we put our life on the line we try again we will punish may before we find the right one we will hunt for a life time but we continue to attempt to try we let our past affect our future but when will we allow that to happen when we can finally can let our guard down take off our mask and stop allowing our past affecting our future I future has yet to happen so why do we let the past dictate it it's human nature to avoid pain witch results for heart ache and heart break witch is what we call fear
