delusional

A wild green mass

Full of flowers and butterfly's 

Full trees, bushes and grass 

But then it all dies 

A dark, lost world 

Polluted beyond repair 

A broken underworld 

Its sure to give you a scare 

The plants all died 

They didn't stand a chance 

There leaves are brown and dried 

Flower petals no longer dance 

The world was once beautiful 

But some human where delusional

Inner Beauty

Dirty, matted fur, with clumps missing 

Black fur, but looks brown form mud 

This stray cat has had a hard life 

Thrown out by it owners 

Abandoned on the streets 

Lost more fights then she can count 

This stray cat has had a hard life 

No place to call home 

No food to satisfy her huger 

No water to quench her thirst 

This stray cat has had a hard life 

One day this black cat 

Meets a white, a white cat

The most beautiful cat she had ever seen

This stray cat wants nothing more than to fit in 

The black cat wishes to change 

She wants to be like the white cat 

She jumps into a bucket of white paint

This stray cat wants nothing more than to fit in 

Now with fur white as snow 

Fur sticking up on all sides 

With the stench of paint 

This stray cat wants nothing more than to fit in 

The white cat approaches 

With her eyes flooded with concern

She gesture for the black cat to follow her 

This stray cat wants nothing more than to fit in 

The white cat takes her to a pond 

The black cat is nervous

She thinks without the paint she is ugly

This stray cat wants nothing more than to fit in 

The white cat looks her in her eyes 

And says "you are perfect just the way you are" 

The black cat gets in the pond 

Her fun now black again 

The white looks the black cat in the eye 

And says confidently 

"your fur is black as night" 

"our eyes are like artic pool" 

"they sparkle like a diamond" 

"and they shine like the moon" 

"you are beautiful on the inside" 

"and that is all that matter" 

"i see your inner beauty" 

"and if they can't see it" 

"then they are blind" 


This stray cat has had a hard life 

But still she smiles like she nothing happened

This stray cat used to want nothing more than to fit in 

This stay cat does not care what you think 

So don't even try 

This stray cat is perfect just the way they are 

And if you can't your blind

Too Late

A 5-year old girl laughs and plays
A loving mother cooks her daughters meal
A kind a farther works hard to earn money

It only took an instant to start
2 minutes to spread
20 minutes to take everything

The firetruck didn't get there in time
They couldn't save the house
They couldn't save her

It started from a faulty stove
There was no where to run
No where to hide

The flames devoured everything
By a miracle she escaped
But now she has no home
And she has no mother

The rain sprinkled down
Too little, too late
She was gone
There was no replacing the holes in their hearts
