RUNAWAY BRIDE
Down the ailse she walks
Bouquet in her hand smile on her face
To the alter where her love awaits
Her heart so pure and true
Her friends and family all in view
Her veil hides her face and tears
Her body hidden by the dress she wears
White the colour of purity
Pink the color of innocence
Her dark brown eyes clouded by promises
Thump thump her heart beats faster
Her grip tightens on the arm of her father
Every doubt shes ever had
Passes through her mind , so ugly so bad
Questions to which she doesn't have the answers
Her footsteps slow to a halt
Curious eyes look to her
Back and forth, bride and groom
The mistress there pretends to swoon
But she knows better the lies and laughter
Behind her back they all must chatter
She turns around and begins to run
As if someone there held a gun
Out the door her veil behind
Bouquet on the floor , her name being yelled
Oh what a tale, a tale to tell
Once upon a time a girl fell for a prince
No other man she fell for since
A real prince charming to her eyes
She was fooled from all the lies
Once upon a time a girl fell for a mister
But soon she found out
He loved her sister.

Makayla Gilchrist Poem
WHO AM I
Who am i, I am me
I can be whomever I want to be
A doctor, a lawyer, a actress, a teacher
I can be either one or the other
But I get discoraged by human nature
I try but fail or fail to try
I try to be strong, but still I cry
For a little girl lost begging to be free
Why must I hide can't I be me?
The man I love, does he love me?
I can't be what he wants me to be
A model, a actress, a human portrait
He tells me it's best I blend in with the maters
Hurtful words, silent cries
Asking myself the when's and why's
Who am i? I am me
And there's none else I'd rather be

Makayla Gilchrist Poem
5 MONTH LOVE
Have you ever been in love?
month 1 he was sent from above
He came to me so soft and pure
He made me feel alive and sure
When I think of him I think "blue"
So fresh, so clean and so brand new
Nothing in this world touched him
God sent him to me my special blessing
Month 2 came a went so fast
But I knew our love will last
Month 3 would be a scare for me
They said u may not stay with me
I ignored their jealous chatter
Because to me it did not matter
Month 4 I laughed so hard I cried
To feel u moving deep inside
My heart so full of love it swelled
For safe and sound I knew u dwelled
Alas! month 5 had swiftly came
I found myself alone again
Why? Me oh my oh dear just mayby
Anything something to save my baby
But he got called back to god above
At least I knew how to feel in love.

Makayla Gilchrist Poem
TODAY
Today he said he loved me
He hasn't said it for a while
He uses his shirt sleeve
To dry tears from his eyes
He said that he forgives me
For all the things I did
Even if it was nothing
In his eyes it was something.
Today he said I looked beautiful
I wore the red dress that I loved
So many reminders of hurt
That fabric held inside it
To sexy, to slutty , go on fix it
I paired it with gold heels
Yes , the ones he bought me
They make me feel special.
Today he said my makeup looks good
Little does he know , it hides the bruises
The ones he left when he smacked me about
Oh what good was it to scream and shout
He pulled my hair, and slammed my head
So many times I wished I were dead
But, today someone took special care
Did my makeup and did my hair.
Today he brought me flowers
The white Lillie's I like
The pain built up inside me
It cut like a dull knife
Slowly , but surely it hurt alright
He couldn't see , it couldn't be
He was taking my life.
Today he kissed my forehead
He has not done that it years
He puts on a show in front of our peers
He cried and bawled, held his hair tight
Played the role of a husband all through the night
I watched from above as the man I loved
played the scene to a capital T
I watched them lay into the ground
My still, white decaying body.
Stop domestic abuse #itsnotalright

Makayla Gilchrist Poem
TIRED
Ever been so tired you just give up
On hope, on love , on life
You feel as though the world is gone
Disappearing from in front your eyes
Ever been so weary, u feel like ash
A little more than dirt blowing away
Blowing with the wind just following
No real purpose, no real hope
Ever been so distant you feel near
So near to what you want, need
Yet it keeps drifting further away
Making u feel bone weary and useless
Well I feel all these things but
I keep pushing, enduring, fighting
That's what we must do
Because giving up is just
Human nature.

Makayla Gilchrist Poem
HOPE OR HOPELESSNESS
Can your savior also be your villan
I see my family's eyes can I really tell em
This hurt inside is bursting out
Should I really say what this is about
A slap of the face , a burst of the mouth
Out I scream, but all he does is shout
Ugly, fat, good for nothing
If you think that's bad let me tell u something
Kisses of love for another girl
I wish I were in another world
Feeling abused, used, but that's no excuse
So many lies, denys, where is all the proof?
Denial takes form in my brain
What can I do to ease the pain?
Walk away , run as fast as u can
There is more to this world he is just a man
Cross my heart and hope to die
He doesn't know I'm carrying his child
How many years must I go through
Until I'm torn broken, battered , blue?
Get the hell out run , scatter
But when he says he's sorry that's all that matters.
A hug an embrace, a peck on the cheek
My tears they fall so humble so meek
Broken promises repeated again
I pray the lord a angel to send
Hold me close so close to u
Abusive by nature but to my heart so true.

SCARS AND TATTOS
We often boast of being strong
Holding our heads high
And being in charge of our destinies
Human nature, full of pride
But for every scar there's a tattoo
The ink is the storyline
The colours are the stories
The needle is the pain
A butterfly for change
A bird for freedom
A rainbow for happiness
But a scar for life.

LIF3
Life is so great
At times hard to relate
Conversate, commemorate
To open the gate
Of options so quick to
Judge, hate, retaliate
I wish at times we
Could all just communicate.

Makayla Gilchrist Poem
The life i live i didnt choose or did I?
Every morning i say a prayer,a chant
Is anyone listening? I lie down thinking
How to escape? I cant? Or i wont?.
As the sun gets ready to hide for the day
The choice gets harder go or stay?
For what seems to be the millionth time
I put on my mask, my glory, my armour
Time to shine.
These men dont care what i risk to get here
All they know is what they want,desire
They dont want to hear im ready to give up
All they know is i make a quick buck
Finger prints on my body not only my face
Wounds on the inside as much as the outside
Do i give up? Is today the day? No! I have to fight
I have to climb, i have to do it for not only me
But for her, my light, my shine, my love, my life
MY DAUGHTER.

Makayla Gilchrist Poem
It’s a battle of Wills Stay.
fight, fright and/or flight.
Me verses myself, a test.
No rest or time to reflect.
The Angel on my right.
Screaming! ,get away
The Devil on my left
Yelling!,time to play.
Me versus myself ,checkmate
It time to move the, template
Negotiate, commemorate.
No time to test the theory
This is it! Not a soft copy
One wrong move, don’t be sloppy.
A face off till the death
Make a move I won’t regret
Thinking out loud, thinking
Sometimes it feels like I’m sinking
I think I have the remedy
It’s me! My own worst enemy
Regardless of negativity
My biggest supporter remains me
I fight with myself ding, ding, ding
The final round, the bell rings
Me verses Me, I Tap out
I win the final round
Knock Out!!
