I Miss You

life is sad when you lose someone 
     but you alway's gain someone new . you could never replace a number one
and kinda woulde'nt want two. friend's come into your life and friend's go out of 
your life. why? know one  really know's. and all that remaine's is a gut for of guilt 
wondering why? i hate it when people come into your life and dont even say goodbye.
i hate it when they look you in the eyes and say i'll never hurt or use you only to hit
you double hard with it. how can a person be so mean to start a friendship and lie from
the start . why can't they be real and honest from the start . 
how can a person forget someone who's been there for them from the start? how can 
they walk away with a loving heart? and not care about how bad they tore the person apart.
        life is a mess these day's i see there's so much dishonesty so much lie's 
how can a person really get by ?

Premium Member Growing Together

Growing together, bound by will
Hearts craving more than desire
Life itself cannot only fulfill
As love lays dreaming to aspire
Under a most impenetrable shell
We will always be home together
Adding life to this family tree
Rooted into our venerable place
Seeds growing to create history
Resembling life beyond eternity

Growing Your Own

When I planted a seed, I did not know,
this seed would sprout and begin to grow.

When growing your own, just take it slow,
if the soil looks good, life’s blood will flow.

I’ve never grown anything, quite like this,
but this is an experience, I will not miss.

I must give it care, so that it may survive,
so this life I planted, will grow and thrive.

I must learn the skills, to fulfill this mission,
for to grow your own, takes lots of ambition.

I wasn’t prepared for what happened next,
my life was suddenly… much more complex. 

It takes a long time, for a sprout to mature,
when it’s time to harvest, we feel some fear.

It’s not easy, but worth all the years it takes,
for growing your own child, is never a mistake.

Please Hear Me Dear Lord

My soul is in your hands, with my life I will gladly pay
Just like your son before me, my sins are washed away.
Because you loved us more than human words can say
you sent your only son, to lead and light the way.
As your humble servant, my soul I present to thee,
Please hear me dear Lord, as I pray on bended knee,
please make me worthy of you Love,
& life eternally

Is It?

I don’t like where this story of my life is headed,
The innocence  is gone,
This is like a sad, sad song,
 I was my slate was cleared,
 I wish life was as it appeared,
 I wish I could dance without these tears,
 I wish I had more years,
 I wish I knew what to say,
 When you found out that I can not stay,
 I wish I knew,
 I wish I could say something to comfort you,
 What do I get for all that I do?
 What do I get for loving you?
 Is it the pain and the heart ache?
 Is it the tears that have ran down my face?
 Is it the drugs that have taken my place?


If Only In My Dreams

(For Rapper Sensation, Kanye West)
(On behalf of his Mother, the late, Dr. D. West)

Like a Child from its nightmares,
awakes and screams
Do I find Myself, going through
the Extremes
Of holding it All together, then
bursting at the seams
As if I'm on Cloud Nine and the
balancing beams
But, isn't Life full of surprises and
schemes
When I had you, was mine like a
box of Krispy Kremes
Now, it's devastating as Diana being
without the Supremes
Got Me caught between Life and Death,
wanting to referee these teams
Just so I could have you back, If Only
In My Dreams

Beautiful Fate

How do you know when you've done too much
One Favor for one person
Being kind to the touch

no matter what...

One favor for a life that feels like a dream
makes you feel like an angel

But without wings...

Hard work follows light
Smiles into tears
Cabin Fever headaches
Childhood fears

How can it be that everything you once wanted dear
turned everything to fear
wars turning dreams to horrible careers
all you loved forever becoming a truck's deer

It's all because one favor
which was meant to savor
One life and another
one man and two other

Made all that is heaven
into something that hurts like hell

My Brown Eyed Cutie

K kissable, knowledgeable, kind
A above all, anxious, attitude
Y yelling, youthful, young
C cute, caring, cuddly
E enjoyable, eager, energenic
E educated, ego, enthusiastic

So sweet and innocent
Whole life yet to explore,
Living life day to day
How can one ask for more.

Fun, loving, yet immature
Still much in life to learn,
Don't rush the perfection
For soon it will be your turn.

Much energy left to burn
For others your always there,
Opening up your big heart
Constantly showing how much you care.

Lovingly Wait

put on a smile
live life like nothing's happened
spend each day waiting
wishing today's the day
when he's there to greet you
say Baby I missed you
warm at just that thought
send a thought to him
imagine he really hears you
I love you with all my heart
stay strong for him
keep life going
prove you can handle this life
be the girl he feel in love with
show him you'll always be there
waiting for him
loving him with all your being

Life

Life like the wind comes and goes with so much uncertainty,
I hope I live today the dreams I had yesterday,
Tommorrow I know nothing of its existence
Will it come for me or not?
Will it be for me or not?
I have today, I will live my life in it to the fullest

Life has its purpose, a reason to be lived
Where can I find mine today?
At what pace must I go?
At what state can I rest?
It is said that  purpose is aim with focus, aims are reasons, reasons are objectives; all a 
continuous cycle

I have it in me to do good, to love, to dream, to hope, to aspire, to achieve
I can only do all I desire in life today with an expectation that tomorrow might be granted 
me to do all I cant today

I have twenty four hours to live, each second as it ticks throws different challenges at me
Should I quit?
Should I run away?
Should I let it all rest  to fate?
should I resist the inclination to live and not just exist as another face on planet earth?
Then, to myself and life I will not be fair.

Life I dare to say is here for man  to be lived.

My Style, My Words, My Life, My World

My life seem to be coming together
My heart is placeing in peices it never
I got my school right 
I prayed and ask GOD what should I do about my life 
He answered and said "Don't worry every thing would be alrite"
Now I'm sitting here happy, sad 
All in one, so confused 
My life to great to be sitting up here being mad
Emotions running high, No worries, No more pain
I'm just a little worried 
One sec I'm okay the next sec my mind is going in sain
I'm just a kid thats trying to find my way out 
But I know it'll be alot of good, bad
And I'll deal with it 
Every thing will be alrite
Thats why this is my life!!!

My Strength

The evil is now leaving me as my higher power is filling the inside of me,
He grows and grows pushing him away,
The Lord fills my heart as i continue to pray.... Oh Lord, Oh Lord, Please save me
from my life I had continued to lead,
I surrender my will unto you, Forever and ever I will trust in you,
I see your way and will walk your path to a better life that will ever last.
