Dont Die

Smile! but i want to die. but how can i take my life 
when god sacrificed his life and we shall have life and have 
it more abundantly .. LIFE .
that simple word that you can change, it all depends how you live.
you know, life has many challenges that you face, but its up to you to embrace 
that love from above! his gentleness is like a dove, everlasting is his name, and 
you take life as a game? 
YEAH, you can always choose how you want to play, but TODAY, 
you will change that thought of suicide, and push those tears aside, and 
remember, god is ON your side! his not like chris, john, bob, billy, or even  
Lucifer ! yeah LUCIFER .. 
does that name ring a bell ? not being a pastor but i decree and declare that we 
SHALL, not want to die, but stay alive! .. i dont care what the circumstance is, i 
know who GOD is, and i WILL let him live in ME !

Surviving a Teenage Soul

One of the most courageous things you can do is, identify yourself, know who you 
are, what you believe in, and where you want to go. 
I WILL NEVER BE THE SAME ! .. conflict builds character , but crisis defines it 
..and anything is possible as long as you keep the faith and never give up on 
hope! 
with the right attitude you'll always win and gain the strength and believe that 
you will make it. some differences are on the inside and others can sense them, 
but some are on the outside and another can see them! 
know we can survive, we may not think so, but we can. DONT me that old me , 
who want to give their life an end! may we fill guilty for what we think we did, or 
did not do? i guess so, but then again.. i dont even have a clue! she was only 14, 
and it felt so right, she thought they'd be together, for more then just a night! 
sometimes were trusted, loyal, faithful. yet beat up, bad and scorned, but 
between the role of adult and childhood, were ALL somewhere torn! 
so were gonna just live life, and DEFINITELY live it like its out last day, so let us 
keep on exploring and making mistakes, because we will find out way !

Shine

I feel like I'm missing another part of me, some parts i feel people cannot see. 
and not the parts thats down below, 
but my poems and singing hat i do not show.
 i ask myself, ' why am i so afraid of what people might say'? 
but i had to realize, its ME, I SHINE , not tomorrow, BUT TODAY!
 so this day ill say, '' IM NOT AFRAID TO SHINE", 
go ahead and look at me with 
hate, I'm gonna be just fine! 
listen, all I'm trying to say is, ill be me, if you be you .. 
when those people see US shine , 
guess what ? they'll wanna be us too! so that part of me , i said i was missing, 
i found it now, 
keep your ear 
out and listen.

Abused

this is for a special friend, who couldn't find love .. 

He says he loves me, he says he cares, but he doesn't want to say anything, when i want him to be there.  
Is the connection with love or hate showing? i ask myself " where is our relationship going"? 
i want him to love me for who i am, but if he doesn't ,
 i guess our relationship can end. are you glad your not in my body?
 are you glad you cant feel this pain? or are you glad i cant throw hurt and scars at you, from my hurtful silence that remains? STOP writing me down in
 history, with your dumb old twisted lies, STOP putting
 marks on my body, or like dusk..
 ill be saying goodbye.
 because of you, I'm limping with pain, because of you, my hurtful silence remains, because of you, i will be physically hurt for a while.
 because you wanted to hit me, and have no reason why. i don't want to be chocked up, punched again, kicked or even
 bruised..not mentioning the fact, by you, YES I've been used! why didn't i say anything, i bet you even sell drugs ? i
 just wish i had a true boyfriend, that didn't hit me, but give me hugs. when i dont do what you wan, you hit me, because 
i think your SLOW ! and that you should find another boxing bag, because i really .. have .. to go ..
