No Name

Unoticed, Invisible to the eye.

Not seen, so small you'd never see it.

Strength, something too rare to leave.

Failure, a feeling most contradict.

Tears, a doorway into the unknown.

Vulnerability, the worst thought of seeing.

No Name, No One, Nothing, Me.

Many Memories....

In the beginning, my life was a whirlwind of mixed emotions, longing to reveal 
their true selves. As they built up inside of me, I was gasping for the feeling of 
stillness and a serene moment, I was touched by heaven's angel, I began to 
know a slight warmth overwhelming me. Though my heart and soul were trying to 
reach the surface of hope to breathe a breath of relief from all of the long before 
chaos. Many hidden feelings were and now are seeping through the many faces 
of me. As I take a yearn for journey through steep and narrow but comforting 
ways, I now come towards the end of this distressment and see the clear path 
now taken... As it was lit for me as a sign brought from my own profound vitality, a 
future known to be remembered by ones who can survive a lifetime of troubles 
with undying affection from loved ones, ones who can face the trials ahead with 
their head held high and insecurities and downfalls on low, years ahead to look 
forward to, to pursue my dreams untold. To become someone who is 
considerate and mindful of others impression, judgment, and beliefs, someone 
who will achieve the impossible, and is known to mankind. As I get older, I 
become more conscious of my surroundings and known of my past errors, I 
once was and still maybe full of regret which I am not sure of, as it still may linger 
in the presence of my soul. My elapsed 4 years ago will always remain in me. For 
it will never leave me, as the abidance of the corrupt moment lives within me 
always. As that special person was my guardian, counselor and mother. Many 
reflections run through my mind, they scatter and separate while bewailing over 
the losses and revive my thoughts of the gains throughout these years. The one 
someone who is and always wil be my matriarch with wings. This is the existing 
hope of her during my inner beliefs, for these are the many memories....

Unnoticed

I talk to him all the time,
His only words are "Hi,"
His heart is already taken,
My crush for him has not gone by.

The sight I see is broken,
The love I share is lost,
A shattered mirror in my eyes,
Never saying anything is my cost.

If I ever mentioned the word,
A word much more to say,
So hard to reveal or share,
Is fading with each day.

I'm scared I'd mess it up,
That I'd say something wrong,
To let him know how I truly feel,
No one can explain in song.

Never been kissed before, 
Im saving it for "the one,"
There is always a first for everything,
I know it can never be done.

Lust is such a word,
To be used in much of the wrong way,
If I am committed to this,
I shall never do this today.

How tragic my life will be,
For I think I've suffered enough,
I'm sure much worse has happened,
Love, a broken path, so rough.

Touching skin on skin, 
His lips as pure as rain,
My heart left alone, unnoticed,
As another day passes again.

Numb

The love of a drug,
a matriarch to own,
So addicted it's unreal,
The hold it may show.
Losing the grip,
Becoming Numb to the touch, to the feel.

So Strong, It's Intoxicating

Ever felt a feeling or heard a certain word to dread, Love, joy, happiness. 
It all seems too real to be true. 
You only hear about it in storybooks. 
Pain, suffering, death. 
Such things cause a hurt so strong it's intoxicating. 
When you hear such things or it happens to you in such a way of experience, you 
don't realize what you are putting your mind through. 
All of that has happened to me once in a lifetime. 
To know that it will happen again at any moment kills the soul of it's pondering 
fairytale. 
Eyes are a window to dreadful times. 
I choose to cry behind closed doors. 
My feelings always when shared hurts someone else. 
Once you've reached such a time in life, to be happy, on the rare occasion is 
lying. 
For one day in your life, you shall experience something so strong.. it's 
intoxicating.

Hid Benaeth the Cottonwood

Hid beneath the Cottonwood,
My deepest sympathies withstood,
Hearts desires, a world unknown,
Whispers in the horizon intone.

Wind surpasses the enchanting song,
Life beyond all can lone belong,
Inspiration in color of shade,
As the suns’ arms stray arrayed.

Stone and steeple, every deed,
Faith alone, the sound soul is freed,
Steps through along my time,
Golden Staircase I praise to climb.

Judgment Day I embrace,
His decision, His worthy grace,
My choice, His say,
My life forever in His hands today.


“I am unworthy,” I said.
“I love those who love me,” and let this be read. – Proverbs 8:17
Receive my word, tell those who defy,
Under this Emerald, shed a tear, I cry.

Tears of joy My God,
Angels in heaven choir abroad,
Rejoice! Rejoice! In my name I say, - Romans 12:15
My life forever in His hands today.

The tree, from sin, it shall shade,
Comfort in Heaven again I may.
His name, His son, there  they stood,
Waiting for me hidden beneath the Cottonwood.

True Meaning

I guess that there is only hope to rely upon, to judge by, or plan our futures. Love 
is such a word to not be taken lightly, or to be taken advantage of. Life as we 
know it is too precious to spend alone. To know the feeling of loneliness is harsh 
but true. I am scared. I may never feel the feeling of a man and women’s love, to 
grow old with that someone for the rest of your life. A true meaning. 

There is too much to ask of a person, a task too great to understand the will 
power of someone. If it is all too much, nobody would acknowledge it, I wouldn’t. 
My mind tells me so many different things at one time. My thoughts try to factor 
themselves out. Something is holding me back, a barrier of some sort, an 
insecurity. It hurts the ones I care about most. 

Being content with one’s self can be a cost of a thousand hearts. Nobody is 
satisfied. The hunger for more is often useless. All it does is penetrate our 
minds into thinking that is what’s needed. Trust. A word to dread among those 
who imitate your self-confidence behind your back. Not all individuals play part in 
such deeds. 

To BE loved is diverse in so many ways than to be the one WHO loves. To 
comprehend what is going through an individuals mind is similar to overriding 
their feelings, you’ll never really know if that person is true to themselves before 
others. Is such a cost necessary? Sacrifice is the key. To be the key to 
someone’s heart is a gift beyond recognition, but to be shunned by that person is 
a misconception. 

If misread in such a way, misleading information can be a closure.
Life is too short to live among the powerful, not to live among the 
                                             Loved.



                                                                -Paige Harris

Once More

I seek the reference of serenity,
Few have known before,
A peace so hard to find as of now,
To love again once more.

This hour a dreadful time to mention,
Teary eyes brought ashore,
Bound by the lust and sin,
Kindred spirit in war.

A soul too lost to gain,
Life, a cost in key,
Condemnment, the only way,
Sacrifice, the way you think it should be.

My life, a gift to be realized,
Though anger left it's mark,
Sadness, debris, a path yet followed,
Broken pieces in the dark.

The night sleeps as our eyes dim,
Tears shed as hearts break,
Love is still in view,
How much more can I take.

The chance so small in life it seems,
Hope is not for true,
Each morning, a new day comes,
When I finally met you.

The sun rises and sets around our hearts,
As one we both shall grow,
You'll never know my true feelings towards you,
As they will never show.

So once more I close my eyes tonight,
If we shall never break this part,
And think of what may come tomorrow,
Once more I mend this broken heart.

Sanctuary

A place to be forgotten, 
To think of fairy tales,
To feel all but unwanted,
When all but imagination fails.

To go to a special place,
To feel drugged beyond belief,
While seeing darts and daggers,
The blade you may recieve.

An intoxicating world,
To stay whenever you please,
Do wander for your own life's sake,
As you'll soon be on your knees.

Feeling lonely and depressed,
Such a feeling worth life so,
Once it burns you in your soul,
You will forever know.

That satan's put his mark on you,
made you hear his tune,
Scarred with all the lies,
Drinking in the agony hole saloon.

Knowing Death day is coming, 
Expecting the only thing,
That sword of lust reaching to kill,
Sin may evenly bring.

A sanctuary is it's name,
The word to use for home, 
For everyone's is different,
Where thoze blazing eyes may roam.

To follow like undying shadows,
Invisible to the eye,
Soon that sanctuary will leave,
The last breath you take, you die.

To be lost beyond recognition, 
Longing for the love,
knowing it will bring you pain,
as you'll never rise above.


But never give up hope,
For God is by your side,
If you love him as your Provider,
He will fill your heart with pride.

Never lose all faith,
As the right day is near,
It isn't worth the risk,
Lost souls may come in the clear.

That calming nature is held,
A place secure to see,
The storms have calmed,the day is here,
In that sanctuary you'll always be.

Thoughts

I am not one to kiss on the first date,
Or hold hands after two days of meeting you,
I am shy of unspoken words.

I am not one to say"I Love You." on the spot,
Or inspire you by looks,
I am shy of unspoken words.

I am not one to forget you on a gloomy day, 
Or daydream in unknown places,
I am shy of unspoken words.

I am not one to think of someone else but you,
Or rely upon my fears to hold me back,
I am shy of unspoken words.

I am not one to say "I don't believe in my self,"
Or put my dreams in a hidden treasure chest,
I am shy of unspoken words.

I am not one to hide behind regret,
Or shed a tear under closed eyes to see a shadow of my fate, 
I am shy of unspoken words.

Though, I am one to know you for who you really are,
and accept my heart with yours,
I am touched by an angel,
I am God's child,
...I am my own...
