Where I'm From
I am from Kentucky,
from the baking soda to the bleach on the shelf,
I am from a land that once belonged to Indians,
a land where bears growl and wolfs howl,
A land that smells like freedom,
I am from a place where mother nature goes wild,
A place where the flowers bloom bright,
a place where the yellow sweet corn grows high,
I'm from a place in the God's house were the good load is strongest,
From a place of mothers and fathers living freely,
I'm from a family who works hard and helps others,
from "you don't always get what you what" to "put others before you",
I'm from the heaven above where religion flows strong,
i'm from a room painted white where tears are shed,
i'm from chicken and dumplings to fried green tomatoes
from the stories about Jesus who died on the cross as a sacrifice of all races,
I am from love and wisdom.

Paige Amis Poem
Are Pills More Important To You Then Your Own Kids?
One night long ago you came home stoned,
not knowing he was on the phone,
looking back now at the surprised look that came a crossed your face,
when you saw the police walking up them steps,
i wonder if you ever realized the effect your pills had on us,
i wonder why you never gave those pills up,
why didn't you fight for us after we where took,
were we nothing more then no good kids to you,
are pills more important to you then your own kids?
even when your four year old died,
you where out popping pills instead of at her funeral,
she was my sister but she was nothing to you,
and what about now ten years later,
you still out popping them,
you call and when i talk crap to you,
all you got to say is." Don't talk me to me like that i'm your mother"
But no, you ain't no mother of mine, why should you be you was never there,
why don't you give them stupid pills up before they kill you,
now tell me are pills still more important then your own kids?

Paige Amis Poem
Have I Told You Yet
Have i told you yet,
that i can not live without you,
have i told you yet,
that you are my one and only,
have i told you yet,
that you gave me a reason to smile,
have i told you yet,
that i will always be yours,
have i told you yet,
that i want the best for you,
have i told you yet,
that you are my dream come true,
have i told you yet,
that our love will stay strong,
have i told you yet,
that the kiss from your lips take away my pains,
have i told you yet,
that i love making you smile,
have i told you yet,
that i love when you are you,
have i told you yet,
that i love you because you love me too,
have i told you yet,
that i pray the lord will bless you,
have i told you yet,
that your my guardian angel with your dirty blond hair,
have i told you yet,
that you own my heart,
have i told you yet,
that i'm happy you chose me over all the rest,
have i told you yet,
that you are the air i breath,
have i told you yet,
that your my diamond in the sky,
have i told you yet,
that your the one i think of when i'm down,
have i told you yet,
that my love for you is pure,
have i told you yet,
that you have changed me for the best,
have i told you yet,
that i love you more then i love myself.

Her Fake Smile
She's not as happy as she seems,
she smile's when she want's to die,
so she seats all alone aching from the pain,
wondering if she'll ever be noticed,
wondering if there's any point in life,
so she begs and begs to be put out of her own dark age,
the dark age she keeps buried deep,
but tends to show every once in a while,
so she just has to hopes that her family doesn't see,
see that fake smile she keep,
what will they do if only they knew?
How could she stand to have them know?
Know she's not the happy little girl they once knew?
will there be a way to block out there shock,
block it out for good,
how will she do it?
how could she do it,
will it be with a bottle of pills or with a rope?
who knows.

Paige Amis Poem
It's Jesus
Praise the lord and his little baby Jesus,
the king of all things,
the hope of all things,
the gift to all people,
who's heart is full of love,
the one who feed the poor and cloths the naked,
the one who cam back to life for your sin and my sin,
the king of joy and love,
the one who holds the power,
the one who was beaten and slain for being religious,
the one who walks on water,
the one that saved all living things with his own live,
the man who loves all races,
the man that's willing to save lost souls,
the one that suffered for our benefit,
a man that saved you and me,
a man called Jesus.

Her Suicide Note
She thought she was alone,
so she wrote a note,
and here is how it goes,
oh brother and mother,
The voices make me mad,
and the pills make me act bad,
oh brother and mother,
what will you do when you see this suicide note,
but what ever you do just know you had nothing to do with it,
and i know that it's tempting,
tempting to find blame in oneself,
but oh brother and mother,
don't take this in vain,
but i'm sick of the pain,
that's been laid on me,
sick of all the people,
the people who talk behind my back but never to my face,
sick of being pushed around,
sick of being the outcast in the family,
you might think i'v had a short life,
but that life to me was to long,
i know you have your burdens too,
so don't you worry about me,
that knife has been used plenty,
but never have i gone this far,
so listen up oh brother and mother,
this world was just to much,
i ain't one with the strength to fight it,
but oh brother and mother,
never doubt that i love you dearly,
cause oh brother and mother,
i love you??
and here is my suicide note
Happy Halloween Poets??????

Paige Amis Poem
Will You Love Me As I Am?
Will you love me as I am,
the young brat that nobody likes,
the one everybody thinks is fat,
even if i talk to much,
will you love me as i am?
will you take me as me,
the weird girl that i am,
will you date me and not cheat,
or will you run to some blond,
will you kiss me when i'm down,
or leave me to drown in my sorrow,
tell me,who are you boy and what will you do?
will you love me as i am,
or beat me to the ground?

Paige Amis Poem
What I'm Like
i am nobody,
i am an outcast,
i am a girl who talks to much,
i am a girl who get a thrill of being in danger
i am a girl who doesn't take crap sitting down,
i am a girl who stands strong,
i am a girl who's always been made fun of,
i am a girl who wants to show people her poetry,
i am a girl with a dark past,
i am a girl of heavy sarcasm,
i am a girl who's myself and nobody else,
i am a girl who wears her own shoe,
I am ME!!

Little Women In Black
There was a time,
when the sky was heavy with rain,
I saw a little woman in black and she ask,
tell me, if you could be anyone who would you be,
and i said,
oh woman in black if i could be anyone i would be ME,
why though she want'd to know,
you could be be rich if you wanted,
i said,"Most people who are rich are a ,"
"they want nothing but money and power"
but if i was me i would and i could do anything i set my mind to,
now please little woman in black tell me why do you ask,
"i have been told all my life that i should be this and that and it's tiring,"
don't listen to what people tell you for what they want is what THEY wanted,
so be you and you only,
fallow your heart little woman in black,

Paige Amis Poem
Tell Me What To Do Lord
She sat at his bed side praying,
saying what should i do lord,
tell me what to do lord,
he's dying,
I ain't got the money for a doctor,
could you by chance work your miracles,
she prayed but her lord just took him away,
she wondered, what's the point in life if your just going to die,
then one night she heard a knock on the door,
she opened it but no body was there,
so she prayed and prayed,
asking am i going crazy,
i hear thing all the time but there is nothing there but me,
oh lord why are you doing this to me,
how could you leave me all alone,
I'm losing my house so where will i go,
tell me what to do lord,
why won't you tell me what to do lord.
