lonely child inside it's gonna be a better day
lonely child inside won't you come out to play?
lonely child, lonely child
come and sit with me a while
let's speak of dreams and other things
that sets the child inside you free
it's okay to let go
there's nothing left to prove, nothing yet to do
i love the child that's inside of you
lonely child inside, you don't have to be afraid
take my hand and let's walk away
from things that bind and things that scarred
we'll walk in the night beneath the stars
we'll speak of what makes your spirit laugh
making our way to a new day, and as we say goodbye
to the ghosts of the past, we must remember
it's the child inside that lasts
we'll wave a final farewell to yesterday,
renew our child spirit and let it shine for always

just reposting some old ones, this is last one for today

shells are curious things, beautiful yet frequently abandoned
those that are occupied are the most beautiful of all
they provide and protect for creatures so small
when held they might be smooth, and sometimes they are sharp
put it to your ear and hear the wind's harp
i'll leave this shell all alone, cause while it looks lonely now
the one who needs it most will find it, and love it, and call it home

The girl that almost died

A baby girl was born on Sept 14th, 1986.Weighing 1Lb 14 oz, doctors told her parents that she was going to be retarded, wouldn't be able to talk, They basically said that the child wouldn't be normal.

22 years later the little girl is now a grown woman. She is normal and can do anything she puts her mind to.

Who is the girl? The girl is me, Kelly aka sweet princess.To all the people who have doudted me and said that I wouldn't make it, I have two things to say SCREW YOU!

 

[PoP]

I have already posted my poem before, but I guess I'll have to post it here then.

"A Patient Love"

I have known you for a long time
I have watched you for a long time
I have loved you for a long time
Ever since the Academy

I wanted to be just like you
Because you really inspired me so much
I have the confidence you gave me
You cheered me on during my battles
And it's all thanks to you Naruto-kun

After you leave the village for training
I wish that I will be strong as you Naruto-kun
But every time I thought of you leaving
I cried not just my tears
But I cried my heart out

I'll be waiting for you to return soon
And when you finally return home
I will confess by saying
I love you Naruto-kun

This poem was narrated by Hinata Hyuga. Created by ME.

Lend A Hand

It is often said that those of a like nature can truly
understand a situation being the same as one that
they have gone through and have felt in their lives
Why is it that sometimes we pass others by when
in light of it all we know better and should take time?
Oftentimes I long to find a way to make everyone
smile and not have to feel left out in this world of
unsurmountable things and their various happenings.
Is it right to just sit idly by and think that someone
else will come to the rescue of others instead?
I dare say I think that most times alot of us feel
our time is limited and so we let the opportunity
fall into the hands of those we deem more capable.
Helping just one person everyday would make
a surprising difference if only all of us would
do such a thing even if in some small gesture.
Our time is hurried yes and sometimes we rush
about and forget the smaller things as we race
on and about in our busy and progressive days.
I have decided that if I can just help one individual
each and every day then by the years end I can
add it all up and hope to amount to something better.

Loved that...it's so very true..And sometimes it is very small things, simple things, like just giving someone a smile or opening a door that can help...it doesn't always even have to be big things...but some are too busy for even that.

no title

there was once a seed destined to flower
choked by weeds, and those who devour
in spite of these, it still tried to bloom
yet there were those who lied in wait, ready to consume
despite it all, its little shoots sprang from the earth
as it made its way up from under their dirt
its beauty they did not see, nor the essence of its flowers
for they were all about squashing it, and feeling their power
in the end its struggle was to profit it not
and the hurt they intended for it, is just what it got
what they did not devour, they surely did stone
to ensure it was isolated, and left all alone
it is a pity for all for those who did such, and for the flower
for they turned something sweet into something sour
the good fruit it was meant to bear now ruined and bitter
with its beauty erased, all that remains is litter

Can two share the same dream?

If so, when it fades for one does it fade for the other?

Dreams....dreams of people we have never seen or dreams of people we can not see but only feel

Can our unconscious minds be so creative to create faces that are not real?

Perhaps..... but sometimes........sometimes it's more.....I BELIEVE IT'S MORE.....so much more that I Want to call out, CALL OUT TO YOU,MY DREAM,MY LOVE

Call out to you before this meeting place fades keeping you away from me for what seems like evermore, making you doubt yourself.....doubting me

I AM REAL! I AM HERE! I AM WAITING! believe in me.....believe in me the way I believe in you........reach for me.....please reach for me

Here I am.........

Here I am

Emma Jane

Whatever became of Emma Jane?
Sweet child so young, so full of fun?
And when did innocence exchange
Her smile for “come and get me” love?
When did her clothes become a tool
Her attitude “I’m no one’s fool”.
And how can love protect the bird
Who leaves the nest without a word?

Discovering now within her mind
New thoughts, ideas, so much to find
And in her body urgent force
To try the limits of every course
There’s no tomorrow—only now
Don’t interfere—you don’t know how
And feelings brimming overflow
How could you understand or know?

As fledgling talents prove her right
Her wings emerge to give her flight
Can’t clip them now and who would try?
Just give her space to learn to fly
A first time round for everything
I know you’re not the kind to cling
But as you leave take care, go slow
There’s so much more for you to know

Dear Emma Jane, where have you gone?
I see you now, at rising dawn
Your silhouette against the sun
Your dreams in dappled sunlight spun
I’m letting go, but here I’ll stay
To catch you if you fall or stray
Fly back to me when day is done
Rest in my folded wings of love.

The Ups and the Downs

The dark and the light
The sunshine and the night
Life is made of these

The ups and the downs
The preachers and the clowns
Life is made of these

Sometimes sweet, sometimes sour
In weakness and in power
Life moves us on

In wrong and in right
With comfort or in plight
We survive another day

In certainty and doubt
Held secure, or tossed about
We cling to life

Sometimes wise, sometimes a fool
In panic’s grip, or staying cool
We learn from life

In hope or despair
When wounded or repaired
God holds us still

In joy and in sorrow
Today and tomorrow
Life leads us on…

Gone.

Joy.
Ecstacy.
Love.
Amazement.
Pain.
Despair.
heartache.
Frustration.

Words that are all too familar.
your name runs through my mind

So many questions that still remain unanswered
So many tears remain wet

my memories have only left me to cry
this fate of mine barely lets me get by

days
weeks
months

wounds slowly heal
but my heart is scared for forever

you may be gone from my life
thats hard to picture since i always thought i would be your wife

tomrrow maybe another day
but the pain seems to always stay

to you these are just words n you haven't a clue
to me this is all i have left you

evidence of bliss
and i was left without even a kiss

destiny, this is the path for me
a path that was to dark to see

a broken heart
a broken soul

slowly picking up the peices that you left behind
you are now fading from my mind

dont think you took everything
what you thought was the ending

was only the begining

i am tacking back what you once had
and im damn glad

its over
its done

im alive
im free

thank God you left me to be

a new heart
a fresh start

you did me wrong
thought i was gone but not for long

feeling brand new
im so glad fate didnt pick you

thank you
for the

Joy.
Ecstacy.
Love.
Amazement.
Pain.
Despair.
heartache.
Frustration.

all you are to me now
is a figment of my imagination

That one made me cry, for some reason....I loved it.

As I lay upon my bed I gaze out into the night sky
I find a star to wish on, to make a wish for you
Gathering my thoughts to find the right words to say
gently I bow my head and silently begin to pray
I pray the lord to keep you safe and sheltered from all harm
ask of him to hold and guide you with your hand held gently in his palm
whisper him my desires, The ones I dream of for you
to dry away any shedded tears that fall and keep them for morning dew
I pray he shines a ray of light making happiness glow in your heart
This one wish I hope lasts forever and longing it to never part
I look upon this wishing star that's shining so clear and bright
and thank the lord above for listening to my wish I made for you tonight.

Loved all the poems above. Thanks for sharing them! I still haven't read all the poems...so many more to read! Keep on writing everyone!

[Scorpio]

I wrote this almost about a month and a half ago. Its not so much a poem as it is a song. I used to write regular poems but lately I've been writing songs just because I like to sing and I wanted something of my own. Besides, this one really hits home.

Basically I was very close, best friends with this girl and she pretty much vanished. Out of the blue. Haven't heard from her in months. And one of my friends said just to keep "Hope Alive" and she'd come back to me. Because I was so close with her (I Thought) that I might date her one day.

Hope Alive

Verse I
Everyday’s a little harder
Everything is just a bother
I don’t know what to do
I don’t know where to turn

It seems like only yesterday
That you were standing here
Right next to me

But now it seems that
You are really gone
Girl my heart is broken
I am so alone

Course
I can’t give up now
I won’t let you go
There’s gotta be a reason
Girl I really wanna know

And I refuse to give in
And I will never accept
That you are out of my life
But it’s really hard to keep
That hope alive

Verse II
I used to be so sure
Of what was going on
But now I’m so confused
About what I am to do

It seems like only yesterday
That Your Smile would
Brighten up my day

But now it seems that
You aren’t here with me
I wish I knew what happened
Tell me how could this be

Course
But I can’t give up now
No I won’t let you go
Theres gotta be a reason
Girl I really need to know

And I refuse to give in
And I will never accept
That you are out of my life
But its really hard
To keep that hope alive

Girl its really hard
To keep that hope alive

 

[Dimity]

That's a great song Scorpio. Thanks for sharing.

Earths blues

Science contrives into many patterns and rhythms
Born of various lines that come into slide and slice
Then takes away the organic means that breathe
And whisks away things we need so much to see
Such as the naturalness of the wind and the trees
Of the beauty that’s trying to struggle to be free

The Earths blues turn
The Earths blues burn
Inside of this infested planet we call home
All the cities built that climb up to the sky
We all within this electronic world so alive
And so the spread of technology goes for miles
For it releases many avenues
But what is left of the wild?

And the Earths blues turn
And the Earths blues burn
Inside of something left unattended and worn
All of her majestic attributes left gone and shorn
So science has performed many wonders to show
Thus still rips trees from their roots and kills the flow
The lines of technology heal the sick and the poor
But forever leaves the Earth blue with nothing more

The Earths blues turn
The Earths blues burn
All the while inside of me and of you
She is forever turning her forests are burning
So what shall any of us decide we should do?
And so it goes still nature flows but minus of
The things we used to see left un-mended and let be

 

[friend]

wonder of you

like the stars in the heavens
the mysteries of you have no count
in wonder i consider that which i
can conceive, knowing it is not
in the slightest of all there is
to grasp, in you the mundane ceases,
and the hunger and need to go deeper
forever increases, the kindness that is
yours to share is as vast as the skies that
hold all the mysteries that wink to me
from on high, ever there and ever playful,
by and by you reveal that your fountain
never goes dry, were i to drink from it
til the end of time, still only a small
portion of it would i have, yet the portion
which is given to me is mine, and mine
exclusively, and yet you let no one go thirsty
nor leave anyone in want, for your fountain is
as eternal as you are, springing from the same
source, ever giving and ever loving, your
mysteries shall always be and it is my joy to
consider the you in the who that you are

Media Hype ( Sensationalism Sells )

One false move and you are brought
down to your knees like a dog.
Speak one syllable one little vowel
and you're quoted for a lifetime.
Say it once but tell it over until it's
worn down torn up and worn out.
Twist the beginning set up the middle
so you can adjust it for your final end.
Words are pawns to be used and abused
and shown other than the real phrase told.
Rip it open fill it with lies bring it to a
conclusion of alternated givings.
Change it! Rearrange it!
Make it as if you owned it first and that
it was yours and yours alone.
Hype it up sully the original give us a
prefab version suitable for the greedy ones.
When all the madness has been enough
then you will back it up as the truth.
Peddling lies for gluttoness eyes that
seek such preversions told in diverse fashion.
Bravo you did it you made something simple so
complicated and sold it to the masses as false.
Disgusting, sick and heartless is what you are.
Media Hype abounds and sick empty and sad as
it is SENSATIONALISM SELLS.




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Of Truth and it’s Worth

There is Truth all around and about us
But, some people are too insecure to
Grasp it when it is readily available.

Some tend to be lost and feel as if they
Have to view it as unreasonable and false.
Truth always seems to get wrongly criticized.

The Truth often time can be honestly brutal
And knowing its worth is a value born inward.
Some need others to show them the real meaning


Truth always and surely will find its way through
Regardless of negativity brought about by fears.
Realness is felt when the meaning becomes true.


Truthfulness is taught by faith and being in tune with
God’s ultimate plan to be shown by those who know.
For when stepping out in said Faith all will be fulfilled.

Rainbow Glory

Under the bend of the rainbow lies all things delicate and bright
Standing in awe of God's creation vastly bowed out before me
It is a miracle to say the least and in awe I am staring mesmerized
This is splendid and maginificent to the eyes full of mystic beauty
Rainbows are for wishing and my wish is...Let me gaze at it forever
This is a Rainbow Glory sent from God as a promise to all mankind

Heat Loss

sun from the inside out permeates the whole being
rays that stretched beyond matter to touch another
were met with mild reception, so the heat retreated but
still persisted to no avail and the resistance to it grew

steam rises from the heat surrounding the iceberg within
how could something so warm house something so chilling?
no matter how much fuel is added now it doesn't seem to penetrate
subzero temperatures threaten to overtake the mercury, and
create a permanent frost

icicles hang and some protrude, sticking into what's around
the sun never shines in this desolation
nobody ever visits a place this cold
well within the structure that is forever solidly glacial
there is a small flicker completely inaccessible

 

[Ape]

^sad.. but well expressed.
