Skaggs Poems

Must Have Been You

What made me feel strong again?
What was taking me to the right place's?
What was leaving me feeling so loved at the end of each day?
What makes me happy to be alive when I wake each morning?
What gives me somthing to live for everyday?
What makes my heart beat steady and true?
What takes my breath away throughout the day?
What makes me try so hard to succeed?
What wish do I wish for every year on my Birthday?

Twist and Turn

That spark deep down inside that keeps one going seems to fade
when lifes events drag us down, It's nice when there is someone there to pick up the
pieces when the only thing you can do yourself is fall apart. Yet you still give it your all at every 
twist and turn that comes up in this rugged path you follow. Some of us never see any reason
to just give up in life. But what we all must understand.is that some people have hit more then 
just a bump in the road. There twist was twisted way to far and there turn was just to sharp
to make it through to the straight an narrows of life again. They lost that spark because they 
were drug down with noone there to pick up all the pieces as they fell apart. So they have lost 
the path and feel like they could never return from there impossible Twist and Turn....

County Fair

Tuesday night 
Nobody reads poetry
They all sit at home
Dazed from Monday
Oblivious and alone

Postcards from 
Yesterday
Upon the office wall
Nothing left to do 
Let’s take the kids…
        To the fair

Rick Skaggs is playing
There’s a carney with a grin
Stuffed animals
And a hint of gin
      At the county fair

Am I alone here?
In this world
Or does anyone really 
Care?
Corn dogs
      At the county fair

Meat on a stick
So tasty
Yet so unreal
Don’t be late 
Don’t stay to long
        At the county fair

Poetry can wait
Cotton candy 
And a roller coaster
Bumper cars
And stomach aches
       At the county fair

For You

Your love so true to the heart, to weaken or break down in strength
I for sure have chosen the right person to spend the rest of my life with
Your always there when I need you,and I'm there for you. when I am sick
your there to take care of me, I'll always be there to take care of you in sickness 
and in health. I mean I sit here and wonder thinking to myself, how in the world did I get so lucky to marry you. your everything to me and always will be baby, I love you so much,
nothing will ever change that.

No Way Out

No way out


 
  Tree branches cover my veiw of a moon lit sky,
         A cold foggy mist layers the ground,
         I see theres wind, I hear no sound,
       My heart beating in my chest is the only thing 
      being so loud, I need to stay strong, So I  can fix all 
   that feels so wrong, breathing would help me stay calm, 
But my mind feels boxed in, here I have no freinds, here is a dark
 place, Im still in Gods good grace, So the sun came up for me 
that very next day.

Jailed

Jailed

Tears fall like rain due to all the stupid little things left in your mind,
All those things are to remind you of your bad decision to do this crime,
So you will sit in your 5x10 cell and think about why you're doing time,
Soon you will get out and start fresh, What is out there for you to find,
It's all up to you to put yourself out here in the world, Life is blind,
You could have been the best in the start, You missed the signs,
Yes I do feel your pain, It was never too hard to see it in your eyes,
 I'm sorry you feel this way, When I'm not there I still hear your cries,
I hate to go so soon, but I've just thrown the rest of my cares into the night...

Turn Around

Turn Around

Lost in every way, Almost every day,
Watch me disengage, Freed from this rage,
Yet locked in this cage, Ending in sorrow, 
it will be better tommorrow, Atleast I hope so,
Pick yourself back up slow, Then you can just go,
I will never rid myself from pain, 
So theres nothing to gain, 
Here's where I would start to explain,
I'm the one to take the blame, 
Thats right, I'm not affriad to claim it,
I'm the one that makes you feel like this,
Even though I've done all these things to the fullest mass,
I'd do anything to change it, And make a positive turn around fast.

At First Glance

At First Glance

All jokes aside, Welcome to my life,
A special word, To help you move forward,
No need to resist it, I'm here to help you through this,
Get up and move, there are things in this world you need to proove,
Your mad becuase your single at a young age, Shoot, I'll help you turn the page,
Giving you that fighting chance, To find someone at first glance, 
Give it that first trial, I know you will find your smile,
Now look, your single life is off the hook,
Your married and have kids now,
 I know you still sit there and wonder how,
It's becuase you went through with it and got your head out of the clouds.

I Just Wish I

I Just Wish I

I just wish I..., Could meet you eye to eye,
In all of this negitive, Never open and selective,
Oh please, Don't forget about me, 
Becuase I Can't forget you, That, I would never do,
Starting all over again, Has left me with not a freind, 
But a life partner, Let's take this even farther,
No negitive creation, Leaving us in fustration,
 Take your time, I will take mine,
Read your bible, Turns out it's pretty reliable,
We  should love God before ourselves, 
God will pick us up again if it fails, 
Maybe it don't sound like a good idea to you,
Just look at all the things we have been through,
You wonder why I'm leaving,
It was all for good reason.......

P.S.  I'll be back, I hate it where I'm at.

Hero's

Hero's

It's wonderful all the people that are willing to come together,
No matter how big or small the disaster, Man made or mother nature,
They're always a lending hand to rebuild lives, We all need to keep our hero's 
of the world in mind, They never had to be this kind, They're present in your life for 
your relief,
Thank you search and rescue teams, Thank you anyone who is just a volunteer 
willing to help, 
I can't imagine How all those families felt,All the people lost there homes, Loved 
ones lost too, 
I feel for these people in knowing what they've been through, All in shock , Not 
knowing where to
go, After getting stuck in the path of an EF5 tornado, 

Inspired by a true story in Joplin Missouri. I was born in Joplin then moved away. 
Once I graduated high school. I  returned. I lived In Joplin for 6 years after 
returning. Then moved out of state. The day 
I was coming to visit my family in Joplin is the day that the storm came through 
producing this mass 
destruction. That day Was the 22 of may 2011..

My Life

Life can be full of anger

Life can be full of hurt

Life can be full of misery

But we have to make it work

They never stay by your side

They always go, run and hide

Why does it have to be me 

Why can't I just, just be free

I want to be invisible

I don't want to be found

I want to be by myself, I don't want any one around

Why do you have to make this difficult

it's not like it's my fault

Because life can be full of anger

Life can be full of hurt

Life can be full of misery 

But we have to make it work

I Am Lost and Confused

I am lost and confused, I don't know what to do 

I wander when I will find out who I really am 

I heard my parents fighting all the time when I was younger

I saw my little puppy go up stairs and hide from all the fighting

I want to see my biological family and not have them fight all the time

my dad is passed and my mom doesn't have her rights to have us kids anymore

I am lost and confused

I pretend that I live with my big happy biological family

I feel like we are still together even though we are not

I do everything i can to try and find my biological mother

I worry that I won't ever get to see her again

I cry when I think of my parents being split and being deceased

I am lost and confused

I understand that I can't see them but I live with the perfect family now

I say that I will always be loved by them

I dream of living with my mom once more

I try to get a hold of her but she never answers her phone

I hope that one day I get to see and talk  to her again

I am lost and confused

I Am a Tree

I am a tree that is bright

I wander when i get to see the day that some body climbs on the branches

I hear little kids playing 

I see the day I will be cut down

I want to live forever

I am a tree that is bright

I pretend to be a little tree

I feel the beautiful sunlight on my leaves

I touch the soggy cool ground

I worry that I will never be played around

I cry when I don't see any little kids playing 

I am a tree that is bright

I understand that I will not live forever

I say that I am happy being a tree every day of my life

I dream that one day I will grow again

I try to be as pretty as I can with my leaves changing colors every season

I hope I will be around for a really long time, but I know I can't

I am a tree that is bright

The Heart Breaker

There was once a time when you told me 

I promise I love you forever

Love is blind and so was I 

but now i see who you really are

I promise to love you forever

you said so much, and i thought it meant something

but now i see who you really are

she told me how she felt but, but I didn't listen

you said so much, I thought it meant something

All because the way you said it

she told me how she really felt but I didn't listen

I know what to do from now on

all because the way you said it

I fell deeper and deeper

I know what to do from now on

So next time you see me "blame my dead body on your words"

Nothing In Love

Nothing in love

you are and do not know

That you would make good of bad and, friends of foes

They met in the day of success

For in my way it lies, stars hide your fires

and show the best of our delights

or so much as it needs

shall we all meet them

she spoke what she should not

I'll charm the air to give a sound
