Tina Campbell Poem
It was early May
On a bright sunny day
I met a physician
Who I took to my prison
She gave me a pill
And said I was Ill
It would help with the pain
By fixing my brain
At first I didn’t trust
But I knew that I must
So I gave it a try
And let out a cry
I would face my fears
With so many tears
I started to crave
That I could be brave
I am out of my cell
I just had to tell
What a gift it’s been
Something I’d never seen
She taught me to cope
And how to have hope
She said to forgive
So then I could live
Talk after talk
I learned how to walk
She listened and heard
And now I’ll be cured
She knows how to care
And she knows when to share
And without her wisdom
I would not know freedom
It’s been five long years
That I’ve tacked my fears
It’s been trial and error
But it’s fixing my terror
I’ve been learning to fly
And given it a try
Oh what a treat
For such a big feat
Soon I’ll say goodbye
And I know that I’ll cry
Please be my friend
Right to life’s end

Tina Campbell Poem
Another night
Another fight
I feel the burn
As I toss & turn
I feel my fears
I shed my tears
I want to dream
Instead I scream
Morning is here
There’s still fear
I take a pill
As if I’m Ill
It’s off to work
I’m just a clerk
Such a fuss
To catch a bus
A day in June
The time is noon
Out for a run
Under the sun
Its time to shower
To smell like a flower
Then back to my desk
where I do my best
Time is now five
I ‘m still alive
You work all day
For such little pay
I head for home
To find my comb
Its time to eat
And put up my feet
The day is done
I had no fun
It’s back to bed
To lay my head
I want to sleep
And count the sheep
But another night
Another fight

Tina Campbell Poem
The hurt is real deep
I can't fall asleep
I'm tired of fighting
and I'm tired of writing
My emotions are burning
My insides are churning
I fell off the road
That one time glowed
It is so dark
I have lost my spark

Tina Campbell Poem
I cried thru the days
And I cried thru the nights
For so many years
I have shed my tears
The days were long
The nights were short
I was always tired
But wished I was wired
I kicked with my feet
I punched with my hands
All that pain
With nothing to gain
My enemies were many
My friends were few
I wanted to hide
And never go outside
I didn’t want to live
I wanted to die
My energy was zapped
I felt I had snapped
My fears were strong
My faith so weak
Inside I was mad
But outside so sad
I forgot the doors
When I built my walls
As high as the sky
So no one could spy
With so many lies
I fought hard for the truth
And now that I see
Soon I’ll be free
