my top 10 poems

ALL THOSE YEARS





I SPENT SO MUCH TIME WORRING ABOUT THE PAST.



AND ALL THE THINGS THAT NEVER LAST.



LIFE COMES AT YOU WAY TO FAST.



IVE WASTED SO MUCH TIME TRYING TO HIDE FROM LIFE.



IVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO KNOW THAT EVERYTHINGS GOING TO BE ARIGHT.



ALL THOSE YEARS I WAS TO YOUNG TO UNDERSTAND;



THAT YOU HAVE ALWAYS STOPPED ME FROM BEING WHO I AM.



ALL THOSE YEARS I SPENT CRYING AND THINKING THAT PEOPLE CAN ACTUALLY CHANGE.



YEARS AFTER YEAR GOES BY AND YOUR STILL THE SAME.



IM LETTING GO OF YOU AND ALL OF THE PAIN.

walk away


when i woke up today i thought that i had the strength to say
all the things that i needed to say.


i thought thateverything would be ok.


there i laid all night trying to find the words
to put together and say.


and i knew that i would see you today.......... and i just walked away


i never had the strength to tell you how i feel about you.


and now there is nothing that i can say or do.


life is short to hold back and i had to learn that the hard way.


people always go and and people never stay.


you cant do nothing once its aready to late.


i finally realized that i had the strength and faith.


but i took to long and life doesnt wait...........for any one

falling apart.




i never finish what i start and i always feel dumb instead of smart.


and i trluy feel like im falling apart.


i dont know who i am or where im going.


and ive spent most of my life not ever knowing.


i break down and cry for no reason.


most days i dont ever feel like im trult breathing.


i doubt alot of things and trustno one.


my life is a constant battle that i have never ever won.


peice by peice i slowly fade away.


i didnt want to go to sleep last night because i didnt even want to wake up today


i know that not every thing is going to be ok.

i refuse to get lost in another lie.

for once in my life im going ot be strong enough because im all out of crys and good byes

IM BROKEN DOWN PIECE BY PIECE AND IM SLOELY FALLING APART.


SOMETIMES I WISH THAT I WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE SMART.


IVE LOST IT ALL AND ON THE WAY DAOWN WAS A HELL OF A FALL.


TIME AND TIME AGAIN I FELL SO SMALL.


I WONDER IF I WILL EVER HAVE THE STRENGTH TO STAND TALL.


IM TIRED OF THESE FEELING GETTING IN THE WAY.


I HAVE NO MORE HOPE OR STRENGTH.


IVE TAKEN ALL THAT I CAN TAKE.


THE PIECES OF ME ARE SHATTERED ALL OVER THE FLOOR.


AND I JUST CANT TAKE IT ANY MORE.

in between


im both a girly girl and a tom boy.


i love putting on make up and playing sports.


im not afraid to break a nail and i dont mind
that my hands arent clean.


my favorite thing in the world is wrestling.


and im just caught inbetween.


i dont mind skirts or basket ball shorts.


i dont care if i watch or go down to the court.


ill have my glitter and lip gloss for ever.


im caught inbetween and life couldnt be any better.


i may be stuck inbetween but this is trily me.


there no other way that id rather be.

LETTING GO






EVERYDAY I WAKE TO FEEL THE PAIN.




AND NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY EVERYTHINGS STILL THE SAME.




MY WHOLE LIFE I HAVE BEEN IS THE ONLY THAT PEOPLE BLAME.




AND ALL IVE EVER WANTED IS NOT TO FEEL ASHAMED.




I WANT TO LET OF OF MY PAST.




I WANT SOMETHING IN LIFE THATS GOING TO LAST.


YEARS GO BY JUST LIKE THAT.


IM IM TIRED OF LOOKING BACK.



I FINALLY REALIZED THAT IM LETTING GO OF THE PAST.



AND HOLDING ON TO WHAT IS LEFT.



IM LETTING GO OF THE PAIN AND REALIZING IM NOT THE ONE TO BLAME.


I WOKE UP TO DAY READY TO CHANGE.

BACK WHEN BEING BLACK WAS ILLEGAL AND PEOPLE HAD NO RIGHTS.



AND YOU WERENT TREATED AS A HUMAN IS YOU WASNT WHITE.


WHEN THE ONLY COURAGE THAT PEOPLE HAS WAS BELIEVING IN DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING.


ITS SAD TO KNOW THAT SOME ONE LOST THIER LIFE, BECAUSE THEY HAD A DREAM.



I WISH I COULD OF BEEN THERE JUST TO SEEN WHAT THEY SEEN.



ONE DAY I COULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE JUST LIKE HE WANTED IT TO BE.



WHEN WE DIDNT KNOW EVERYTHING AND THINGS WERE ACTUALLY WHAT THEY SEEMED.



THE WORLD HASNT ALWAYS BEEN THIS COLD HEARTED AND MEAN.



I WISH I COULD OF LIVED IT ALL JUST FOR ONE DAY AND SEEN WHAT THEY SEEN.

IM SO SICK OF ALL THE PAIN AND HURT INSIDE OF ME.



IM IN MY OWN BATTLE AGAINST MY SELF AND IM BEATING ME.



ILL NEVER BE WHAT THE WORLD WANTS ME TO BE.



IM ASHAMED OF WHAT THEY ALL WILL SEE.



EVERYDAY IS A BATTLE AGAINST MY SELF,



AND TO THE END I WILL FIGHT WITH THIS.



ONE DAY I HOPE ALL OF MY MISTEAKS I CAN ADMIT.



THIS IS MY OWN BATTLE WITHALL OF THE CONFUSION AND PAIN.



AND NOTHING IN LIFE ANYMORE SEEMS TO BE THE SAME.



EVEN THOUGH I DONT SEE IT LIFE IS A CONSTANT CHANGE.



WHEN I FALL I DONT GET BACK UP I JUST LAY THERE.



UNTILL GOD COMES ALONG AND LETS ME KNOW HE CARES.



HE ALWAYS PROMISES THAT HES ALWAYS GOING TO BE THERE.

I ROLLED OUT OF BED,


BOWED MY HEAD,


AND BEGAN TO PRAY.



I SMILE AND THINK TO MY SELF, TODAY IS GOING TO GE A GOOD DAY.



I CAN FEEL THE BREEZE,



THE AIR BRUSHING THROUGH THE TREES,



AND I SIT AND WATCH THE WIND SCATTER THE LEAVES.


ITS DAYS LIKE TODAY,



WHEN I KNOW THAT EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OK.



AND TODAY NOTHING CAN STAND IN MY WAY.



IM GOING TO SPEAK UP BECAUSE I HAVE PLENTY OF THINGS TO SAY.



TODAY IM UN BREAKABLE, UN STOPABLE, AND IM FEELING PREEY GOOD TODAY.



ALL THE PAIN AND ALL THE SHAME IS GONE WITH YESTERDAY

YOU WAKE UP TODAY,



WITH NOTHING TO SAY,




AND THE WORLD SEEMS A WEIRD SHADE OF GRAY.



YOUR HERE TODAY,



AND SOMETIMES THINGS DONT ALWAYS GO YOUR WAY;



BUT REMEMBER YOUR NOT HERE TO STAY.



ONE MORE DAY CLOSER TO TOMORROW,


WHEN ITS YOUR TIME TO SHINE,



AND ITS TIME TO GET RID OF ALL THE WORRIES AND SORROWS.



ONE MORE DAY UNTILL YOU STRUGGLE THROUGH ANOTHER SLEEPLESS NIGHT.



ONE MORE DAY CLOSER TO THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.



ONE MORE DAY,



YOU HIDE AWAY,



HOPING NO ONE WILL NOTICE THE PAIN.



AND THROUGH THE STORM AND ALL OF THE RAIN,



YOU REALIZE THAT YOU ONLY HAVE TODAY
