Keshia Shivers Poem
This is me
I'm not girl that you wanted me to turn out to be
The person that put her family first
The girl that wanted to be accepted the worse
They ask me why would I leave you all alone
They failed to realize that there is a phone
So what if I had stayed
These things I could not trade
This is me
I know it is hard for you to see
I'm no longer the young girl that I once was
I know your asking yourself is this just because
The things that I thought that I would never have to go through
When I think about it all everything you told me was true
If it wasn't one thing it was another
And I always thought to myself why didn't I listen to my mother
This is me
I wish I could start all over and throw away the key
But everything you do will always hunt you
You see momma I still have no clue
I went from friends talking about me behind my back
To thinking of things to do to get on the right track
I went from heartache from having a abortion
To getting on the right path and solving the poportion
This is me
Begging so someone to come and set me free
This is me

Keshia Shivers Poem
When i look into his eyes
I see someone that want make me cry
I don't have to worry about being sad
I will no longer go around mad
When I cry they are tears of joy
Cause this isn't just any ordinary boy
The times I had to wait up late
Thinking to myself why do he continue to do the things that I hate
When I look into his eyes
I think good job cause everyone knows that I tried
Everynight when I pray
I get down and just to say
Thank you Lord for bringing this gift to me
I can walk outside and say that I am free
I don't have to beg anymore not to be hit
Because someone got mad and had a fit
When I look into his eyes
I think he is my pride
I don't have to hide my face
No one will tell me that I am a disgrace
The black and blue bruces that I once had
They made me stronger and I'm so glad
No one can take away the joy that he brings
If you listen to my heart it sings
I'm happy for once in my life
Soon I will be someone's wife

Keshia Shivers Poem
I want to thank you
For doing exactly what I thought you would do
All that stuff that you did back then
And I begged ya'll to stop but and you did it again
Calling me names that hurt me then
You thought that I was going to cry and start drinking gin
Bulling me and never being a true friend
Hurting me pushing me down in the sand
Me growing up as a tom boy
So you all started calling me Roy
Thank you for making me the person that I am
O so now you don't remember no, I'm not Sam
I went from ugly to looking way better than you
And now your boyfriend is calling me boo
I guess you can say that I feed off ya'lls hating
It was only a matter of time though I was just waiting

Keshia Shivers Poem
I don't know if it is the sweetness that I hear in his voice
or the passion I get from him in particular
The way he makes my heart beat
or the way he makes me feel safe
Could it be that personality of his
or the motivation that he gives me
Maybe it's the friendship that we have
or the nights we sat up and cried
The love that he gives
or the joy that he brings
I'm not sure if it is the way he listens to me
Or the great advise that he gives me
The sweet thigns that he whispers in my ear
or the part that I know I have nothing to fear
It could be that my mom really likes him
Or that he's not ashamed of me
The help that he gives me
or the way he looks at me
The way he makes me feel like I the most important person
or the way he holds me
I'm not sure exactly which one it is
But I know one thing is that I Love Him

Keshia Shivers Poem
It's funny how the table can turn.
I always listened to people, but what did I really learn?
One day my life is in perfect order,
The next, I'm running for the border.
When your young it seems like everything is so easy,
But when you get older you find out that life is really sleasy.
So many things go wrong now days,
I think about all of those people sitting in jail eating off trays.
Today your married living a happy life,
But tomorrow his family is gone because he cheated on his wife.
You went to a party and had a simple drink,
Now you just realized that your throwing up in someones kitchen sink.
A guy raped you and it was your first time,
Now your pregant and no one thinks it's a crime.
You started off just having fun by smoking weed,
Now your in rehab for smoking other things and your brain is a seed.
When you stop and think about it asking God why?
You have a moment of silence because your begging and crying waiting for a reply.
No one is perfect everyone messes up,
But you haven't changed because you are still reaching for a cup.
People have thier ups and downs,
But God never wants yo to frown.
Life is a hard test,
Let's be different and pass unlike the rest.

Keshia Shivers Poem
I have to get away from you
My life is upside down, and I don't know what to do
It seems to me that your not in love
At first I wouldn't except the message from above
I have to get away from you
My whole entire face is black and blue
How could you be a man and think that your so tuff
But turn around and tell me that I'm not good enough
I have to get away from you
You made me abandon my whole crew
The only people that you knew I could trust
And now I've realized it was nothing but lust
I have to get away from you
Nothing you tell me turns out to be true
You say one thing and do another
But had the nerve to say something about my mother
I have to get away from you
I look in the mirror and I see who
Dang I don't know who I am
Since you continue to call me Sam
I have to get away from you get
I can no longer be stuck to you like glue
You cheated one to many times
And you treated me like a nickel when I know I am a dime

Keshia Shivers Poem
As long as I'm with you,
I know that all things I can do.
It's because of you I get up each and every day,
And to you every night I pray.
Thank you Lord for blessing me another again,
and forgiving though you know that I've sinned.
Giving my mother the strenght to go on,
because I would go crazy if I woke up and she was gone.
My sister who has struggled through school,
and for getting on to telling me not to be a fool.
Putting food on our table,
with you I know I'm able.
My sweet grandma that has been sick here lately,
she travels back and forth and you get her there safely.
My Aunt that just recently got married to this nice man,
and with you she's being all that she can.
My whole entire family that struggles during there time of need,
I think about it and I say it's you yes indeed.
The boy that I met that has changed my life,
I hope faith that someday I will be his wife.
Though we struggle through hard times,
because of you there are no crimes.
I know that all things I can do,
Lord, as long as I'm with you
