I'M Fine

I say I'm fine,
That I won't give up, 
But I do. 
I try to mask it
But it still shows. 
The feelings I hold inside me, 
I will keep bottled up. 
To make it seem like I'm okay. 
No one can see me
Wanting to give up, 
Wanting to break down and cry. 
I don't know how much more I can take. 
I have to be strong 
And pull through
It's hard though,
But I'll be fine.

Silence

paralyzing the minds of the innocent
destroying the thoughts of the happy
terrifying the one who know
that silence is the devil
it makes you question
everything
it makes you think about
everything
it makes you feel mixed emotions about
everything
it eradicates from the inside out
silence, itself, is a scary thing

I'M Sorry Daddy

the door slams shut
daddy's home
his footsteps are getting closer
i hear him yell my name
i cry silently, trying not to be found
he stumbles through my doorway
he is drunk again
i press up against my closet wall
he walks in front of the door, swings it open
starts calling me horrible names and grabs me by the arm
i'm afraid
i try to avoid looking into his evil eyes
he slaps me
i fall, crying
daddy says it's my fault he got fired today
he punches me and kicks me
i try to get up but he stomps on my chest
"MOMMY HELP!" i scream in my head 
but no one else is home 
just me and daddy
i get free and run for the door
it's locked
i slid to the floor bawling because i can' reach
daddy picks me up and throws me against fireplace mantel
i fall to the wood floor
head throbbing
body shaking
heart pounding
in the distance i hear daddy yelling at me
i scream 'I'm sorry' 
it's too late
his face has been turned into an unimaginable hate
the pain continues
his kicks come again and again
he stops after one last hard kick
that's the last thing i felt
he walks out the door 
as i lay there motionless 
sprawled out on the living room floor

this is something i've never experienced but i wanted to write about it

Untitled

When the sun rises, the darkness fades away
No more distractions to make me have a bad day
When the sun sets at night
I wanna be by your side

No more distractions to make me have a bad day
You help me forget about the bad things
I wanna be your side
You bring laughter and light in when you're around

You help me forget about the bad things 
When you're not around, it's hard for me to control myself
You bring laughter and light in when you're around
If only there wasn't any darkness at all

When you're around, it's hard for me to control myself
I feel like I'm nobody without you
If only wasn't any darkness at all
All I need is you and light

I feel like I'm nobody without you
When the sun sets at night
All I need is you and light
When the sun rises, the darkness fades away

Tree

A tree is tall, so big and green.  The leaves represent life so pure and clean. When leaves go brown, things get really shady. Going behind your back is the reason why you hate me. The bark shows how hard things can really get. Roots are so deep, it's hard for you to forget. The rings, show the scars from the past. The water in soil may seem so small. Between life and death and when the leaves fall, the tree stands tall for a sign of hope. When the leaves hit the ground, it's the end of the rope.

You Can'T Hurt Me Anymore

You can throw rocks at me
aim for my head
kick me punch me
you still won't hurt me

go ahead, insult me, spread rumors
I've heard them all before
no matter what you say or do
i won't let you hurt me anymore

you can try to knock me down
make me suffer from your words and fists
but the thing you don't understand is 
I'm stronger than ever before

the more you hurt me
the tougher i get
so remember
you can't hurt me anymore

Soliders

They put their lives on the line
because they choose to
so they can protect us
and so we can be free
their sacrifice
is why our eagle soars
is why we say the pledge
is why we have
the RED
the WHITE
and the BLUE
they were away from their families
loved ones
friends
warm meals
yet, they never gave up
they stood tall and strong
and risked everything
for us
for our country
for our freedom
thank a soldier 
let them know that they are appreciated
for their bravery and service.

My Feelings

Lovestruck, lonely, hurt, and sad,
What did I do that was so bad?
Disgusted, frustrated, guilty, envious,
Why dies life have to be so serious?
Humiliated, embarrassed, negative, paranoid,
This thing stopping me is called avoid.
Annoyed, caustious, anxious, aggressive,
These fears and dreams are really passive.
Puzzled, fearful, pained,hurt,
Sometimes I feel like I've been rolled in dirt.
Lonely, helpless, thoughtful, sad,
Thinking of all the years I have spent without a dad.
Withdrawn, miserable, humiliates, regretful,
Wishing I hadn't hurt all those people.
Stealing, lying, cutting and running from fears,
Always left my family in tears.
I've been locked up and sent away,
There is no one to blame but only myself.
Dealing with these issues is a scary thing,
No matter what I do, they wont go away.

It Hurts

Sitting alone in the dark
forced to do nothing but think
to think about how you weren't there
you weren't there when I took my first step
you weren't there when I said my first word
you missed all the 'bring your parents to school' days
every little girl had their dads come
all except one,
me
it hurts
it hurts to think that you never cared
you cared about no one but yourself
not even your own kid
you weren't there when I lost my first tooth
you weren't there for the father daughter dances
I made up stories when everyone asked if you were coming
I shouldn't have had to do that
no one should
I try to forget about you
but it's hard
it's hard to know that all these years your dad is out there somewhere
and you ask 
why?
why didn't I have a daddy like the other girls?
was I not good enough for daddy?
why doesn't daddy love me?
did I do something wrong?
tons of thoughts race through my head
as I sit here in complete darkness
listening to only the faint murmurs in my head
forced to do nothing but think
why daddy?

Darkness Is Needed

without light
there is darkness
a shadow is void of all light
there is a shadow
without any light
there wouldn't be any shadows
light is needed for all shadows
outside of darkness
there is light
without the darkness
there wouldn't be light
darkness is needed for light to show
