Shanna Anderson Poem
Why?
I often wonder, why we exist? And why life seems, as if a list?
Why do we, feel love and hate? Is it some sick part, in why there’s fate?
Why does hate, make you do so wrong? Does it show weakness, or make you strong?
Why is love, called the greatest thing? How is it love, if it’s sadness it brings?
Why are we here, if only to live and to die? I have so many questions, I just want to know why?
Why is that, we were created all equal, when it seems as if though, we were made from a sequel?
Why is it that, they say love conquers all, but at some point in time, we lose love to deaths call?
Why weren’t we created, without feelings at all, because loves hard to get over, if ever you fall?
Why wonder at all, there’s no way to know, why we are here, or where we should go?
Why waste time, trying to figure it out, and just go out there and see, what life’s all about.
The road may be long, and sometimes it’s rough, though never give up, because deep inside your soul, you are really tough.

The ABC’s of Life
Ambition is the strength in which you succeed.
Believe in yourself and help those in need.
Consequences are given, for everything you do.
Dreams aren’t just for sleeping, and they can really come true.
Enjoy each day, as if it were the last.
Follow your heart and don’t live in the past.
Guilt will only bring you trouble, so think before you act.
Honesty and trust should be something you never lack.
Imagine the possibilities, beyond all your dreams.
Joy brings you laughter, life isn’t as hard as it seems.
Keep your head high, and never back down.
Love is the answer, if ever you frown.
Memories last forever, so make the most that you can.
Never give up, on the things you began.
One life is all, you have to live.
Pace yourself and always give.
Quit trying to be, something your not.
Reflect on the moments and the wars that you’ve fought.
Strength gives you courage, to face what lies ahead.
Trust must be earned and not just given instead.
Understand your choices, before anything is done.
Violence isn’t an answer, to wars you’ve begun.
Wisdom comes from knowledge, and the lessons you’ve got.
X is the mark of an unusual spot.
Yesterday is the past, there is no reason to hide.
Zero credit is given, when effort isn’t applied.
The road ahead, may seem rough, but what doesn’t kill, only helps you get tough.
When life comes to an end, at least you did your best. You successfully made it through, life’s eternal test

Life
In life, some things are easy, while others are hard, but you make the choices, for you hold the cards.
The road may be long, and sometimes it’s tough, but never give up, even if things seem to rough.
You can’t change the things, that have already been done, but you can learn from mistakes, yet still have some fun.
Never do anything, you may one day regret, for you can’t hide from the past or the people you’ve met.
The past consist of memories, made of the good and the bad, and all of the moments you’ve had whether happy, or sad.
They say you can forgive, but can you ever forget, the best lesson in life is “ you get what you get”.
Don’t take life for granted, live each day like it’s the last, and always remember, the past is the past.
You are in control of the decisions you make, and always be yourself, and never be fake.
If ever you feel, like just giving up, remember that when bottom is reached, you can only go up.
Bury the demons in the past, and learn from your wrong, for what doesn’t kill you, just makes you strong.

Shanna Anderson Poem
Happily Never After?
Have you ever stopped and noticed, life just isn’t what it seems, for in the story it spoke of true love and to believe in all your dreams?
Well once upon, this rainy night, I sat and read this tale, a tale of how true love had lied, through all that had prevailed.
A knight in shining armor, (or so it is they say); “he’s here to save the day”, but little did the people know, that this Prince Charming truly is, the devil tucked away.
For he could not do, happily ever after and still be who he was inside; so he snuck around doing devilish deeds, while covering, all his lies.
It was the perfect life or so he thought, “they will never suspect a thing”,” but what to do if they found out?”, “I might lose the crown as king!”.
So Prince decided, that on that day, he would weaken those who pry; so that they would never question him and he’d never ever have to say, that his life was just a lie.
Then one day, Prince had taken off, to what I guess they call the secret lair; in which to meet the one he shared, an entangled love affair.
And yet she was close, to the princess, you could say friends in fact, and all the while they snuck about, how could they do this, behind her back?
It wasn’t till, years had passed, when the princess had found out, just what it was he’d done, and on that day she learned her life, was in fact a lie and it had started all on day one.
How was she, to except what’s done, and try to move on with her life, when all she ever dreamed about, was to one day become the Prince’s wife.
They never told this story once, this should have been the end, because in real life this is what you get, happily never after is the trend.
Dreams come from a figment of imagination, made from suppression, of the mind, created by what you want or need, but an illusion’s all you’ll find.
So don’t look to how the story was told, to find your ever after, look to where you it just seems right, and then start another chapter.

Shanna Anderson Poem
I remember like it was yesterday, the day that I met you.
I had such a crush on you, and yet you had no clue.
Life had taken us on different paths, with hopes to meet again.
Many years had come and gone, but somehow fate did win.
We fell in love, or so I thought, and happiness drew blind.
Blind to all the vishious lies, for it wasn't love that I did find.
Lies and infidelities, you had covered all your tracks.
You cannot hide from the truth, when you find mere facts.
I've stood by through many things, things you shouldn't do.
All I've ever asked in return, is honesty from you.
We can never move on from this, without it tearing us apart.
You will never understand, how much this broke my heart.

Shanna Anderson Poem
My Angel
Not so very long ago, an angel came to me. She wasn’t wearing a halo or wings, at least none that could be seen.
Instead she came as a bundle of joy, with eyes wide and bright. This beautiful baby girl, has brought my life light.
So tiny and precious, with so much to learn, a gift from above, it was finally my turn.
My beautiful baby girl, so sweet and rare; there isn’t a girl, that can ever compare.
I never imagined, that something so small, could bring so much joy, to one and to all.
She is my daughter, the best thing that I’ve done; without her beside me, life wouldn’t be fun.
Words can’t express, the love that she brings, all I can say, is it makes your heart sing.
I taught her to be, and all that I know, but she has taught me, that we learn as we grow.
Where ever life takes her, we’ll never be apart; for we are always together, within the heart.

Confusion
Trapped in an endless bad dream, a dream in which is the reality that I live; not knowing what it is in life, that I’ve been sent to give.
Confused about the road ahead, and what this road will bring, not knowing what I’m looking for, not knowing anything.
All the memories made, through the good and the bad, will always be within; not knowing what lies ahead of us, but remembering where we have been.
Learning from past mistakes, in order to better the road ahead, not knowing what the future brings, while the past remains unsaid.
We should live each day for how it is, for it’s just a simple day, but live it to the fullest, for only you can choose your way.
