Breaking Down My Walls

You have broken down the wall, 
That I put up in my heart...
Apparently I didn't make it strong,
Strong enough to keep you out...
Cuz you got right through it,
Even without trying...no effort...
I guess I am so numb that I don't care...
Just please...I beg of you....don't hurt me...
I don't know if I can take it...
The next time I put the wall up, 
It might never come down...

Reasons

can you tell me why
everything we do is pain
give me a reason

just one plain reason
not a whole explanation
of why you cause pain

why cant we just try
just give us a fughting chance
just one little chance

Love Is

love is complicated...
love is understandable
love is pretty
love is ugly
love is yours
love is mine
it can be monumental, or it can be as small as an ant
it all depends on how you look at it
love is there in a minute and gone in another
love is true love is false...
but most of all....love is life

Jacob Wysong

Loving people more when they leave than when they are there
Everyone shows thier true feelings for the person when they leave
All we can do is pray that they have a better life then they did here
Vendor them one last look one last hug...one last goodbye
Into thier new life with our prayers and high hopes
Never forget what we have been through together...
Going away is hard to do and no matter how many times it happens in your life...it will never 
get easier...





this peom is dedicated to my youth pastor jacob wysong...and his wife kassie...and his 
children jefferey and josie and the new baby jacob josiah...we love you and will miss you...but we will never forget you and will always think of you. you will be in our prayers always...good luck where God takes you and remember you always have a home back here...we love you...

Real Man

What does it mean to be a real man?
Pulling out chairs,
Opening doors,
Paying for the meal?
No. It's much much more than that.
What does it mean to be a real man?
Holding her when she cries,
Answering your phone at three a.m.
Being faithful?
Yes. But much more than this as well.
What does it take to be a real man?
Defending her honor?
Putting yourself between her and the danger?
Loving her no matter what?
Yes. But more than all this.
Being a man, means all this.
But, it also mean that when you do all this for her,
You do it because you love HER.
Not what she keeps hidden with thread.
A real man does these things
Because that's what men do.
Well, that's what Real Men do.

No You Dont Understand

you say im to young
you say i wont understand...
no you dont understand!

dont you understand that 
i am 14 not 4?
that im smarter than you think?

you maybe older than me
but your definatly not wiser
you dont understand!

you dont understand the pain i go through
when your there and im here
you dont understand!
 
i dont know how to make you understand
that im not stupid
i know what your going through

please understand....
THAT YOU DONT UNDERSTAND!!

Loving Life

I thought I would be lost with out you
You thought that too
But i have found a place
Where i can be myself
And...well...love life

Life is worth living when you have something
To live for...
Well i found that something...
It's not a guy
It's not an idol...
It might sound selfish
But...I'm living for myself

I am living to make my world a better place
I'm living to make myself a better person
To look out for others
To put others first

But most of all im living because
I was put here for a reason
And if im still alive then I havent fufilled
That purpose....

So if you need motivation
To keep yourself breathing
Then this is it

YOU were put here for a reason
And if YOUR heart is still beating
Then YOUR purpose is still being here

I Can Do Nothing Right

sometimes with him
it seems like
i can do nothing right

no matter what i say
what i do 
nothing is ever right

people say drop him
people say deal...
what do i say?

i say hes my everything
he is....me
i love him

they obiviously have no idea
what that word means
it means...what you make it

but i can do nothing right....
so what do i know?

New Year: New Me

i woke up this morning
thinking about you.
about yesterday
oh how stupid i was
i let you get the best of me
let you take control of me
i am your puppet no longer
i am free of your chains
you control me no longer
I.AM.FREE.

New Relationships, New Standards

Another piece to someone new.
Hopefully they procede with caution.
Please dont hurt me
My heart has been though enough
Show it love, kindness,
Cause it to soar...not fall
Failure would cause utter destruction.
Well, for me anyway.
But I have faith in you.
I have faith in us.
Dont lie to me. I dont deserve deception.
Take me into your arms when I'm afraid
Get in front of the danger
Just dont let me face it alone.
Offer me your aide
Rush to me when I cry.
Very strict standards
Understand what your getting yourself into...
Love me with the best of your ability
Even when I'm mad..
Kranky, or when I scream
You have me now...
