Sister

Love
Stubborn, funny
Hugging, laughing, fighting
You can run. But you can't hide. 
Bond

Holocaust

Fear 
Anguish 
Resentment
These are the words 
that come to mind. 
Family members were
hard to find. 
People couldn't be 
who they were.
Making their
lives a total blur. 
If only for a 
moment would 
they recall.
Feelings of 
being trapped
in a cell wall.

Through the words an idea is discovered

Social Networks

Bragging and boasting
is all people do.
Making it hard
for people
to break through. 
If only, if only 
compliments would be given.
Allowing the population
to be driven. 
Suicide rates
wouldn't rise. 
Happiness
would be
gleaming in
many eyes.

Now Is Won Spelled Backwards

My time is now.
You will know this by seeing 
the perking up of my eyebrow.
I am in it to win it.
I will not take myself 
out of the game
and quit. 
I will fight till the end. 
No matter what 
is around the bend. 
This life can be hard. 
That's why 
negativity 
is what
I discard.

Rain, Rain Come and Stay

Drip, drop
Drip, drop
The sound of the rain
hits the window pane. 
Sometimes the only thing
that keeps me sane. 
A secret to getting rid 
of pain.
If only for a while,
will I have a smile.

Anxiety

You are constant.
You never leave my side.
You are not there to be my friend but my teacher.
You are the one who makes me stronger. 
You push me down because you know I can get back up. 
You are my gift.
