Orlando Reyes Poem
when I was younger
I grew up to be mother
of child when I was thirteen
look down upon
from a lonely pond
no one tried to help me
I was lost and bearing a child
my adolescences was taken
I ask to myself
was I been mistaken
I was brought up by my mother
to always be stronger
but yet today I feel even smaller
I was beaten, humiliated and even made a shamed of
why does the male counterpart
never is the blamed one ?
but today is the day
we I stand up with my daughter
tell my myself this
I will be stronger
not just for me but also for my daughter .

Orlando Reyes Poem
Miguel I am sorry for your short pass.
I am sorry for me never to understand.
we smoked to un ease
are so called worry and stress.
we inhaled then exhaled
and thought of nothing less.
we listen to music
that made us feel accepted
but you and I know
we were never accepted.
two young brown males
lived an a inner city.
peers looking down
to show us no petty .
against a thug who has sworn
to live by the best .
what has taught us too
be the best we have yet .
you called and cried
for all the help you needed.
and a real friend was never found
am sorry Miguel
I ignored your calls .
now the time has come for the rose petal to fall
I am deeply sorry I was the friend
that never answer your call.

Orlando Reyes Poem
how am I young
but yet feel so old
have I let myself go
to hide an cave
where shelter is safe
my comfort zone is the best
where I feel in place
I have been stepped on
laughed at
but I look past that
my young soul has turned old
and I cant just look back
I choose to isolate myself
and I know
it isn't healthy
so prove me wrong so I can be wealthy
not with money in cars not with glitter in gold
but with smiles that shimmer with the light
that's end at the road/

Orlando Reyes Poem
Am glad yup
Yet But sad
How can I watch
Your rock n roll fame
Full of people
Who never understand the name
Who can I blame
Is it the system or the love ones
Playing dirty games
I feel ashame
Only looked upon
As a legendary
But never a human being
Is it not weary
Walking across the cemetery
Not included
Excluding from the rest
He said
"Am not bout to rest
Till the true story been told and been
blessed " this isn't checker all I play is chess

Orlando Reyes Poem
Nature feel what nature is .
I created clouds just for this .
So you can see from above
What real beauty really is .
Even when no one sees
To take the time
To feel my breeze .
I cover you from sun
Yes really am the one
I paint the a clouds in the sky
Don't ask why?
All I ask is to Enjoy the sky .
