-i Miss U-::A Poem 4 My Friend Ty In Jail.::

when i write you
and you write me
it always makes me happy
happy to hear your doing alright
and happy to hear,
you get a good sleep at night.
im so sorry to hear that your birthday was so bad
hearing what they did to you
really made me mad!
hearing u got hurt,
really made me sad.
i just wrote this to you
to let u know i miss u
and i hope u miss me to!

R.I.P. Joshua Pryor

fog fades
diamonds last
i will never forget our past
how u made me laugh
how u made me cry
why did u have to die?
i remember when we use to walk home together
almost like we had known each other forever
we walked 
we laughed
we cried
we had our goodtimes
we had our badtimes
when i was upset
and my tears were wet
you cheered me up! in silly ways. 
i love u
i miss u
i hope your better
i have one wish
not three not two
my one wish is one more day with u !

Child Abuse(Not About Me)

my mother screams and shouts,
while i hide under my bed
she comes in my room and finds me, 
and angrily beats me in the head.
she says im always bad
and i never do my chores
and she says when im dead shell be glad
cause she wont have to worry about me anymore
i see the anger in her eyes
as she beats me, and tells me she wished i would die
when i think about all these bad memories
it only makes me cry
im always scared to talk to her
cause i know i will get hurt
but, i wasnt sure how...stab, hit, or burnt?
but, thankfully my teachers care,
and turned my mother in
so now my new life can begin.
sometimes i think my mother cared,
but then i wake up and realize that the love was never there.
now im all grown up
and i lived through it all.
but i still dont understand
why she put me through it all.

R.I.P. Grandpa Jack

as he sat there sweating in the august heat
his heart skipped but only one beat
as he fell to the ground with tears in his eyes
he thought to himself
everyone dies
so he sat there and thought
atleast my life will be better
because i know my soul will be here forever!

I See America Hurting

i see a doctor hurting as one of his patients pass.
i see a mother hurting as her children grow up to fast.
i see the firefighters hurting as they put out the fire from 9/11.
i see family's hurting as their loved ones go to heaven.
i see people hurting and wondering what their here for.
i see america hurting while we still remain in war.
i see america hurting as their jobs are taken away, and they are left without pay.
i've seen america hurting everyday.
i've seen america hurting in some very hurtful ways.

R.I.P. Aaliyah

she could dance she could sing
and do almost anything and everything
she got on the plane
and was happy of her fame
but as she glanced out the window on her left
she didnt expect death
as the plane hit the mountain and slowly tumbled
it crashed in something you wouldnt exactly call a puddle
now shes peacefully underground
with flowers on her grave
they say she is gone but her fame is here to stay

R.I.P. Joshua Michael Martin 87-06

your great big smile
on your boyish face
i will remember forever
it will never be erased.

we have been friends for so long
since the 5th grade
i cant beleive that your gone
i just wish you couldve stayed.

we will meet up once again
wait for me in heaven.

your missed so much 
by your family and friends
ill see you soon enough
dont worry our friendship will never end.

whenever i look at the sky so blue,
all i can do is think of you

R.I.P. Tupac

his rapping was tight and so was he
to tell u the truth i thought of him as the rapping king
who shot him? and why?
no one really got to say goodbye
who could do such a horrible thing?
the only person they can blame is the person who made the gun go bang!

"adult Life"

summer is fading
leaves are changing
i hear the laughter of children daily
as they wait for the bus
some are going back to school
but not all of us
i have no idea what i want to be
i still have no job
even though i am 18
i feel like my life has suddenly stopped.
like the rain falling from a cloud
and the time i have left
is like the one last drop
i have so much deciding i still have to do
i have so many choices
and yet i still have no clue
so i guess i will wait for the right time to come
when its more work
and not always fun
thats when i know
my adult life has begun!

R.I.P. Jr Stolzenburg

i wish i may i wish i might
ask u why that night
why did he stand up
why did he fall out
and slowly stumble about
as he laid there on the road
as silent as can be
his friend looked and said how can this be
when his friend placed his hand upon his chest
he said i felt him breathe as the ambulance came
he was running out of breath
the next morning was his death
