Tonileigh Ratchford Poem
This pain is not my fault
I was just unlucky
It brings my life to holt
Each stabbing pain, twisting ache
Strikes as hard as a lightening bolt
This cramping is so hard to shake
Endometriosis is its name
We're not playing this is no game
It takes away so many things
Each person its sorrow it brings
To know what we go through
If you only knew
You see sometimes we can't do much
Apart from lay in the fetal position
People judge as such
Oh she has that condition
Never fully understanding just what it takes to paint her face
And show the world she's not a waste of space.
So to you fellow endo sisters
Out there
Your not your illness
Your beautifully flawed and are so very strong
We are here for each other in this mess
I'm sorry this poem is very long
So I hope these words have helped you know. Each time you get told your lazy, making it up
go and prove them wrong
We are survivors and we know
That this awareness for this condition should grow
From one endo sister to another with love ??????

Tonileigh Ratchford Poem
Magic is real, if you only look
It's in the chapter of your fave book
It is the glisten, of gentle rain
Upon your window pane
It is that first morning coffee
It's the one you wake up to see
It's the love that never breaks
And the soft sponge cakes we make
You see magic is all around us
In all the little things
When a little bluebird sings
And the smile you always bring
When you kiss that love you've waited for, you feel those sparks forevermore
And you look upon the sunsets glow
You see there's magic everywhere you go
The gentle whoosh of the waves in the sea
The way you look at me
The touch upon your gentle face
As I know you were blessed by gods own grace
So tenderly we go about our day, taking things so little for granted
Why must we when it leaves us so enchanted

Tonileigh Ratchford Poem
Magic is in your fingertips
It's in the dancers hips
It's in your gorgeous smile
It's driving for miles
To see the one you love
It's in the sky above
When the sunset kisses the sand
It's the helping hand
And the gentle warm embrace
Of a grandmothers grace
It's the love shared between two strangers
It's protecting someone from danger
It's the autum leaves that fall
Upon the ground
It's listening to the song
And the way the music sounds
It's the warming up besides a cosey fire
It's the people that inspire
It's a gentle kiss
It's that person you miss
Each day is full of joy
And sadness
You just need a reminder
To look really hard and you will find her
Among the things like this
Magic is believing
And showing
Kindess, I wish
So go forth and spread your magic and cheer
And never be afraid of fear

Tonileigh Ratchford Poem
Tell me something you like about me
Is it something I can't see
You tell me beauty is more than skin deep
So why do these harsh words I keep
Telling myself I am weak
As I lay again and cry myself to sleep
They say we are not the words others say
But you find they have a tendency to stay
Thriving off your pain
Till it drives you nearly insane
Don't let others rent space in your mind
Just know your heart is kind
Your so much more than what people say
Your amazing in all your imperfect ways
Each moment your heart beats means there's a reason
That your pain won't last all season
That you will be stronger
It just means it will take you a little longer

Tonileigh Ratchford Poem
do I deserve to be loved?
A question you all ask inside
The fear of rejection you hide
You need to know
In these words I show
There's so many people who love you
If you only knew
That the love you seek
It's in the words you speak
Kindness and joy
It's in the way you act all coy
You see your loved
By us and those above
Just open your eyes to see
How much you mean to me
No one is ever alone
You see god is our home
And in him we find faith and hope
To find ways to cope
You are not the bad words others speak
Or in the tears that leak
Your in your strength and resilience
Don't let your light be diminished
Your story is not yet finished
Your days will get better
Because my dear you matter
I hope you read these words and see
You are already loved by me

Tonileigh Ratchford Poem
As soon as I open my eyes
I look for you
Only to realise
Your not there, it was just dream
I die a little inside
As know you don't feel the same as me
It's so very clear to see
But that doesn't stop me thinking of you
As I hear your voice, it melodic tone I hear
I just wished you were so very near
I don't think you know how much you do
The way you tell your own truth
Makes me fall you
Your such a sweetheart
Don't you see
How much from others it sets you apart
I don't know why you'd steal my heart
But all I want is for you is happiness
Even if that is not with me
As I say with such great sadness
I'm glad to love you, you see
It doesn't matter if you don't feel the same
You helped me to love again
You came to me like Angel
When I was in so much pain
As my heart began to mend
I was glad to have you even as just a friend.
I care about you in every way
These words are mine to display
For every time I hear you say
Those beautiful words to me
I'm reminded of your loving way
And my mind and heart both agree
You mean so very much to me

Tonileigh Ratchford Poem
Here is my revelation,
I look at you with intrigue in my eyes.
When I say it, please don't deny.
Loving you is tangible.
But not loving you is impossible
I find it hard to navigate, my feelings for you
But I know they're true
My spontaneous mind
Throws caution to the wind
You see I look upon your fixation
The way you look at me
I know you see it too
We must give in to this temptation
Please don't patronise the way I love
You were sent from a portal from above
Your an angel in disguise
And now your forever in my life
Loving you, forever mine, forever rhymes

Tonileigh Ratchford Poem
See the way your eyes sparkle with love
See how you you give hope like a dove
With each act of kindness you give
You give people a reason to live
With each passing moment you smile
You warm so many hearts for miles
Your so very special to me
Your inner beauty I see
I see how good your heart is pure
Your laughter is the ultimate cure
A bad day seems to wash away
When we heard you chuckle today
Don't think at all
Il always be there to catch you when I fall

Tonileigh Ratchford Poem
Never forget kissing away the pain
As we watch the sunset again
Both of us were never the same
It was fate that was to blame
Hand in hand at midnight
Nothing but the moonlight
To light up our way
What a beautiful way
To spend our time to together
I just wished this moment could last forever
Our love just continues to grow
You see I don't think you know
What you've done to me
I didn't think I'd ever be this happy
That someone would come crashing into my life and show me I needed love
That I start to believe you were sent from above
Each passing day, with the words we say
I know with you in my life these skies will never be grey
Your the light in my dark
You ignited that spark
Kept me from falling into the deep pit of despair
With all the little ways you showed you cared
It was hard at first to let it show
They often say when you know you know
And my heart instantly knew
As my capacity for love instantly grew
I finally could see
That your the one for me
All the late night crying alone
All the times I had no place to call home
Were wash away in the summer rain
All my past heartache and pain
Was washed away
With each word you'd say
You'd make me feel
That my love was real
I just wished I could have met you sooner
Because I could of loved you longer
I've waited for a long time
To have someone I could call mine
But these words I say
May help you to see someday
That I love you with every beat of my heart
Each passing day that we're apart
We miss our chance to be together
But maybe one day it can be forever
That I will realise that love is worth fighting for
That the feelings won't go away if we ignore
Maybe I'm stupid and weak
But I know that my future with you in it is far from bleak
So tell me to go away
Or tell me to stay
Forget the tears
And embrace your fears
Because anything worth having doesn't come easy see
Just how much you really mean to me

Tonileigh Ratchford Poem
Don't tell me you care
When you don't
Don't tell me youl be there
When you won't
Don't let my heart fall
If you won't catch me
Don't say you will call
If you don't even see
Don't tell me I'm yours only
If you cannot love me
Don't you see
What your doing to me
You awaken my fire inside
But yet you hide
You don't want to tell me how you feel
So I question in my head is this real
Or am I dreaming of a love
That dosent exist
It's hard to resist
When it's all my heart longs for
I know I shouldn't want more
But I do
It's true
I fell in love with you
Somewhere between the chaos and the things you do
My heart stood no chance
I just want to be on a beach and us under the stars have s dance
So it's only us in the world st that moment
And I know that your mine
When the pale moon light shines
I don't know what to say
To get you to speak to me today
But this much is true
I love you
