Being Rejected Sucks

Being Rejected Sucks

I don't know if I should,
Try to get back on my feet,
What is the use really,
I just continue to get beat,
Maybe I'll slowly start give up,
Let my hands begin to slip,
Watching the light get darker,
Everything around me is torn and ripped,
I never knew being rejected would,
Become my greatest fear,
Now I'm slowly become empty,
I'm no longer able to form tears,
My heart is loosing strength,
I wonder if it's still there,
Asking myself why this continues,
Cause non of this is ever fair,
I thought my heart was full,
Of so much love and care,
But after all the stupid no's,
There's nothing left to share,
I tried not to give up,
But I think it's finally time,
For me to just let go,
After I finish this rhyme!!

Cancer Sucks

These days we all go through a lot,
We've all had ups and downs,
Wanted to give up many times,
When there was no one around,
But after you have been told,
That someone you love has cancer,
Automatically you fall to your knees,
And start asking God for the answer, 
Cause no matter how much you try,
You cant hide it for to long,
You have to look at the family you got,
And know they will keep you strong,
I don't have cancer myself,
But I've seen alot of people hit that wall,
People I really do care about,
And all I know to do is just stand tall,
So this poem is for everyone that has cancer,
Or has someone that is dealing with the ****,
I know its going to be a long journey,
But I have faith you will get through it,
I will keep my head bowed,
And continue to pray to the Man above,
Cause I know He can do great things,
So you can keep living with unconditional love!!

Damn Sheep

One sheep, two sheep, 
Three sheep, four, 
These sleepless nights, 
Oh hell here's some more,
It's one in the morning, 
I'm still counting sheep, 
Hoping that the next one, 
Puts me out so far deep, 
For I am ready to be, 
Where my eyes are shut, 
So I can get to that moment, 
And out of this rut, 
By dreaming about good times, 
When you are always around, 
It's like your right here, 
What is that sound, 
Well hell it's my alarm, 
Didn't even see what’s true, 
Because those damn sheep stopped me, 
From dreaming about you!!

My Two Angels

My Two Angels

I sit here today and think, 
Wondering where I would be. 
If you two wasn't here, 
If y'all didn't even no me, 
Would I still be alive, 
Or would I be dead, 
Would I still have a house, 
Or use the dirt for a bed, 
Would I have a reason to wake, 
When I went to sleep at night, 
Would I even have any strength, 
Would I still have my eye sight, 
I sit here to day and cry, 
And I want to thank you, 
I'm alive and well because, 
Non of that is true, 
God has given me two angels, 
Vanessa and Tony are their names, 
And with out them here, 
My life would not be the same, 
So from now till my last breath, 
I will bow down on my knees, 
Praying to the Lord above, 
Telling Him that I am pleased, 
To have Vanessa has my sister, 
And Tony has my brother, (In Law)
I'm very thankful to be able, 
To live one day after another!!

Time For a Divorce

All of these words easily,
Just roll out my mouth,
Because our relationship did nothing,
But continue to go south,
We really did try,
Over and over again,
God I'm so sorry for this,
But I'm about to commit a sin,
Please forgive me, 
I know this is wrong,
But we both failed You,
For much to long,
We tried to make it work,
Tried so many times,
But nothing ever got better,
That's why I write these rhymes,
I'm ready for a divorce,
I know it's for the best. 
Please grant me Your approval,
So we can be happy like all the rest!!

To My Step-Mom

This poem is for the one,
That gave us a place to stay,
When the times got so hard,
My parents had to move away,
She is the one that,
Show us how much she cares,
Not by buying expensive clothes but,
Making cloths so we'd have some to wear,
She never gave up on us,
Even when times got hard,
And she loves being outside,
To work on her beautiful yard,
She is my step-mom,
But consider her as my real mother,
She always be there for me,
And my sister and brothers,
So this poem is to you,
I hope it makes your day
Mom I love u very much,
My love will never fade away!!

Kids Deserve Better

So much crazy things going on.
The world will never be the same.
No one takes time to realise.
We don't live in a video game.
Why do people have babies.
Then pushing them to the side.
Not having a care in world. 
Babies can't do nothing but cry.
Its sad how we treat God miracles.
How does someone just not care.
I feel so bad for kids today.
Their life is no where near fair.
Don't have kids if you know.
Your not going to be around. 
Making the kids heart crumble.
As it falls to the ground.
I don't understand how.
We let life get so gray.
I pray one day soon.
All this evil will go away.
I'm going to start doing more. 
I know it will take awhile.
But I will do my very best.
Every kid deserve to smile!!

Pain Filled Her Eyes

Have you ever had a bad day,
You know one that starts out wrong,
And you wish it would end,
But it is just taking to damn long,
Well I had one just yesterday,
And as the day continued to drag,
I did the stupidest thing ever,
Had my mouth resembled an airbag,
I popped off and yelled at my love,
Takeing my dumb day out on her,
Then I seen the pain in her eyes,
Had no idea what was about to occur,
I felt like I was the dumbest person ever,
Still can't believe I put pain in her eye,
And now I fear I'm going to lose her,
Then ill just fade away and die,
I want her to know that I'm so sorry,
And it will never ever happen again,
Will she believe me one this one,
She will just have wait till my days end,
I will still be very much in love with her,
And I will devote the rest of my life,
Showing and proving to her that,
She will never have another day of strife!!

Rock Bottom Again

And once again it happened,
I took to long to make a choice,
Now I am back down on rock bottom,
I should've listened to that little voice,
The one that kept telling to let go,
Change yourself before it's to late,
But since I have such a hard head,
I've reached bottom on this date,  
Don't feel sorry for me though, 
For now I think its for the best,
I need to get my mind back straight,
And slowly figure out the rest,
I know it's my fault for being here,
I should've changed before I fell,
Since I didn't do that once again,
I've brought myself closer to hell,
I'm not going to lie to you but,
I feel I really need to stay this low,
So when it's time for me to get up,
I'll know exactly which way to go!!

Dear My Friend

I been trying so hard to,
Find the exact words for you,
It's taking me some time now,
But I wanted them to be true,
I only hope you smile at this,
Cause I don't wanna see you down,
This poem is 100 percent true,
Maybe it will keep you around,
I have a lot of feelings for you,
I wish I could show them all,
But I am so scared,
Feel like I'll just stumble and fall,
God put you in my way,
I feel its for a good reason,
I hope one day he will show me,
Even if it takes all four seasons,
This poem is for you,
To tell you that you are great,
I hate those days where I just,
Have to sit there and wait,
No matter what happens in life,
If we live all our days apart,
Don't worry about this cause,
You will always be in my heart!!
