Unknown Truth

What if the moon was the sun 
And the sun was the moon
If day was night and night changed too
If everything changed how would we be
How would we function as human beings
What if time was different and changed just out of the blue
Would we be able to sleep
What would we do
How would we escape such a catastrophe
What if we were stuck and couldn't leave
What if the devil escaped from hell
And you found out
But it was a secret you couldn't tell
What if God lost the meaning to care
And left you heartlessly dramatically scared
What if the cold turned into the hot
And the temperatures started up a plot
To come and get you and never give you what you need
When you needed warmth attack you and turn the colometer
On over freeze 
What if you turned to snow and you couldn't do anything but post
What would you do if your skin turned blue
And you couldn't breathe
So you couldn't move
What if there was no heaven or hell
You just were a blank and no one could tell
There was no memory of you
It's like you were never here
You never knew either
Left with no fear to fear
It's like you were a figment of imagination
Your life was never started
There was never an orientation
Tell me what would you do
Nothing because there is no you
You stand an unknown truth

What Happened

What happened to the mother I thought I knew?
What happened to the mother who always told the truth?
What happened to the mother that was always there?
What happened to the mother that always cared?
What happened to the joy I once had?
What happened to your smile that would make me glad?
What happened to the mother daughter days?
What happened to the sweet things you used to say?
What happened to having both parents, not just one?
What happened to the days you'd brighten just like the morning sun?
What happened to the faith you helped me have?
What happened? Why am I always mad?
What happened to you being close and never too far?
What happened to me knowing who you really are?
What happened to the role model I used to know?
Why did you drift away from me?
What happened to us both?
Why don't I come first?
I thought you were happy when you gave birth
Now I'm here all alone
With a empty heart followed by a broken home
I love you mommy
What the hell happened to you ?
I thought blood was thicker than water
But, I guess to you that isn't true

Blue Eyes Cry

Inside my blue eyes all that's hidden hides All the truth Everything to despise

Inside my blue eyes all that's hidden hides Everything wrong that could never be 
made right

Inside my blue eyes all that's hidden hides Eyes always blue when the little girl 
cries

Inside my blue eyes all that's hidden hides Tears of pain Wet Visible to sight

Inside my blue eyes all that's hidden hides all the secrets that are held inside

Inside my blue eyes all that's hidden hides you just see tears on the cheek of life

Inside my blue eyes all that's hidden hides till I tell you my secrets that are so 
hard to find

Colors may vary but it's true The pain comes out when my eyes are blue

Smile Bright

Want me to change I'll stay the same Want me to be tamed I'll show you rage 
Don't like my poetry Read my book Don't like my food Watch me cook Want the 
worse for me I'll give you the best Want me to be a follower I'll show you I'm 
different from the rest Want me to burn in hell Heaven will see me through Want 
me to tell you lies I'll tell you nothing but the truth Want me to be sad Watch me 
shine Want me to enable bad behavior Watch me fight crime Don't like that I'm 
successful Watch my money grow Don't like my knowledge You're going to hear 
about all the things I know Want me to fail Watch me suceede Want me to be 
disappointed Watch me forever pleased Want it to rain You'll see the sun Want 
me to be in pain Watch me have fun Want to erase my glory Try and you'll see 
That happily inevitably I will be me  You can't bring me down Though you can try 
But thank you for your negativity It's the fuel to my fire That keeps me alive Thanks 
to you I don't give up Thanks to you I put up a fight I stand tall stay tough   
Because your animosity is what makes me strive Because I will smile as long as 
you want me to cry

Just Do It

Life is but a dream or a nightmare it may seem Negatives and Positives is what 
the world is made out to be People that want the best for you or people that want 
the worse People that want to make you smile or kick you down when you are 
hurt People that want to make you miserable or brighten up your day People that 
are speechless or People that have so much to say People hiding behind there 
shadow won't be there self People that try to hard to be "normal" be like 
someone else People that are happy with who they are and don't mind being 
them People that strive for the best and when they mess up try to perfect again 
and again Mean people that you wish would decease Nice people those are the 
ones that kind hearts feign Unique in your own way is what everyone is A grown 
up or in spirit a tiny little kid How can we live this life with so many different 
people? How can we respect that somewhere deep in our hearts we are all 
equal? How can we live life like each moment is our last? How can we not make 
a sequel out of the mistakes in our past? How can we cope with stress and learn 
to just relax? Just do it-It can't be that hard of a task.

Live With Yourself

Just when I think I'm over it Just when I think I won I start to reminise about all the 
harm you done 

The bloody lip Bruised arms When you would drag me by my hair

All my clothes you would rip How it wasn't fair 


The times you threatened to rape me How scared I was inside

The times you threatened to kill me and made me want to die

The times you threw me into a window and I would truly scream 

The times you told me to shut up or you would keep inflecting pain on me

The times I didn't shut up and the abuse would get worse

All the times my life just seemed like a fatal curse

All the times I wanted to be happy but sadness saw me through 

Sadness was what I got because I didn't get rid of you

Thinking you would change Wash away my rain 

But instead stayed the same A boy filled with rage 

A man never to be Not if life depended on it 

A boy I'll never again see My heart I will not again pond it
Though I'm filled with pain deep inside my heart Though Part of me is still stuck 
in the dark 


Though I can't say how many more tears I will cry

Though I don't know when this pain will die

Though I have to live with everything that happened to me
You suffer the most Because You have to live with yourself inevitably


Never again will I make the same mistakes In the end I was the one to gain

Gained a lesson A lesson truly learned A fight so strong Now the tables have 
truly turned

On the Darkest Night

There are people in life that will try to bring you down

Misery wants company Because they're sad they want to see you frown

They don't want to see you with any happy days They try everything in there power 
to stand in glory's way

They're so angry at the world so they take it out on you They run from the problem 
Left without a clue They keep living there life But they're really not living They are 
stuck without happiness Anger driven

Those people can be who you would swear they're not They could be your 
bestfriend Not anymore they filled an enemies spot Those people can be your 
own mother maybe your father too Wait a minute look in the mirror that person 
could be you 

That person could be big or maybe two feet tall Maybe they're beautiful or maybe 
there face resembles a brick wall Maybe they still smile in your face every single 
day of your life or maybe they frown upon you letting it be known without thinking 
twice

Whoever they are whoever must they be 

Let them get out of your way

Let yourself be free

The world is full of roses and a sky so blue and bright But it's up to you to see it 
Even on the darkness night

Strong Soldier

Thought I had love before but no one ever stays
Thought that I was adored but it never turned out that way
Thought a mother was to keep till she turned her back 
Thought a dad was supposed to be there for me but him caring is what lacked
Thought friends were forever till they walked out of my life
Thought I would be alone never I guess I had a blinded sight
Thought a heart was meant to be full till it became broken
Thought this life of mine was to be ruled with everlasting devotion
Was I fooled
Yes I was
Do I know the answer to why
No it is just because
God chooses my destiny
Positive is now what is in store for me
Even though what I wanted became tainted
I am still here I am meant to make it
Even though people tried to bring me down
I am meant to smile
My frown is upside down
I am a strong soldier that made it through the war
Holding hope because the pain will no longer endure

A Kid

I’m just a kid without a home		
No where to go all alone
I’m just a kid with a broken heart
Trying to figure out why this pain had to start
I’m just a kid that was never loved
Never cared about
I’m just a kid full of doubt after doubt
I’m just a kid with emptiness inside this broken heart
I’m just a kid living a life that’s torn apart
Trying to keep your head up is hard when you’re emotionally scarred
Living life is hard when you want to die
I’m a survivor because I’m still here I survived
I’ve been through hell and put up with all the rough times
But there are moments when enough is enough
When you’re sick of not being wanted when you wonder
Where’s the Love?
When you try so hard not to cry but the tears won’t leave you alone
When you wonder how you can have a house without a home
When you feel like a failure and you fell to hard to get up
But then you realize deep inside you’re a kid that needs to grow up

Melted My Heart

You were the sister I never had The sister I wanted bad The one that got 
grounded with me

You were the sister that made me glad The sister that made me laugh You were 
everything I wanted you to be

You were my hope My joy Healed me when others thought my heart was a toy 
Next to me you would sleep

You never seemed to have misery that wanted company You practically walked in 
my shoes All me struggles you knew For me there was nothing you wouldn't do 
My sister how you were a dream come true

Opened up my world to you more than anyone else You lifted me up all the times 
I fell You kept my secrets when everyone else would tell You knew who I was and 
loved it There was nothing I had to sell

How broken I am because of you How what was deep is now shallow How the 
friendship we had turned out to be a friendship to lose How what was solid and 
together is now soft Soft and drifted apart  How the person that gave me love 
Took it away  Melted my heart
