Skyler Steagall Poem
I'm searching for the real me
I'm searching for myself
Am i who i think i am
Or am i someone else
I look into the mirror
And stare into my eyes
The image comes out clear
But it's only a disguise
The frown on my face
Shows off all my pain
And my eyes are only clouds
Letting go of rain
I look to the ground
And all i see are puddles
From every pain and hurt
From every painful struggle
Back into the mirror i look
Back into my eyes i stare
Crying out in pain
Crying in despair
From everything I've been through
And everything I've witnessed
If i was looking for pain and failure
Then there's no doubt i haven't missed it
But then i started thinking
Thinking to myself
It doesn't have to be this way
I could be someone else
So looking at the mirror
Looking at my eyes
I told myself, it's time to change
It's time to change my life
I started taking steps
Towards cleaning up the mess
With support from other people
It was kinda like a test
Leaning towards success
Leaving behind the mess
Was kinda hard for me
But i only gave my best
Gusts of wind come my way
Gusts of wind knock me down
But i get back up, and overcome my day
Because success is where I'm bound
It's been a journey, with many roads taken
And reaching points to almost breaking
But steps to success, are the moves I'm making
One step at a time, is how I'm changing
I look into the mirror
And stare into my eyes
The image comes out clear
Success equals pride
There's a smile on my face
Because i made a choice
To stop being afraid
And start using my voice
The smile on my face
Defeats all my pains
And my eyes are rays of sun
Shining through out the day
I was searching for the real me
I was searching for myself
I wasn't who i thought i was
I was somebody else.

Skyler Steagall Poem
everyday
i see whats missing
the pages are blank
but the story's written.
everyday
i hear the lies
they say he ran
but really, he died.
everyday
i see him there
his presence around me
fills the air.
everyday
i hear his voice
in my head
when i make a choice.
everyday
i see the struggles
as tear drops fall
forming puddles.
everyday
i wonder why
those strangers came
and took his life.
everyday
i feel the pain
the loss of my brother
drives me insane.
everyday
i think about
what would have happened
if he made it out.
everyday
he pushes me
to work harder for him
and live his dream.
everyday
he talks to me
telling me what i should
and shouldn't be.
everyday
that passes by
i know my choices
make him cry.
everyday
i stop and think
just what my bro
would want for me.
everyday
it hurts inside
to know for him
i haven't tried.
so everyday
from this day on
i'll strive to be
what my brother wants.
everyday
starting now
i'll be successful
i won't let him down.
everyday
from this day on
for my older bro
i will be strong.
everyday
starting now
for YOU big bro
i'll make you proud.

Skyler Steagall Poem
why can't we see
the bigger picture
why can't we see
other human figures
why can't we all
just get along
why can't we all
make each other strong
day by day-night by night
we hate and hate-fight and fight
day by day-night by night
we live without-peace in sight
gangs and war
hatred and violence
years go by
and still no silence
why can't we learn
to love and laugh
why can't we learn
to let the past wars be the last
why can't we be
each other's crutches
why can't we be
without grudges
why can't we live
without harm and hatred
why can't we live
without words so tainted
words can kill, they often do
when they're said-we have no clue
they hurt real bad and stick like glue
hatred forms and that's when we lose
why can't we all
just get along
why can't we all
make each other strong
why can't we see
the bigger picture
why can't we see
other human figures

Skyler Steagall Poem
Like an arrow to the heart
The pain is crazy sharp
The pain of falling in love
Every second of its hard
Its hard because its scary
Its hard because I know
That Ive been hurt before
And, I could never let her go
When I look into her eyes
When I see her warming smile
Its all love, with no disguise
This love is worth my while
To be with her forever
Is what I want to happen
If we ever split
Then, I would forever sadden
I love her with all my heart
I care for her a lot
Shes in my every dream
Shes in my every thought
I havent known her for that long
But still, these feelings for her are strong
I think she feels the same
But I pray to God, that Im not wrong
The best thing in my life
Is with me, yes its her
Im in love with this girl
No games, no jokes, Im sure
