Merry Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I use poetry as a means to express primarily to myself how I feel. A means for me to, well move on past hurt. Or when an Idea comes to mind. Or when I'm bored and in a mood to do something creative. The following poems are feelings I've felt throughout the years...its like a retrospective of my emotions. LOL. A New Beginning Let your feet take you places That youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ve never been before As your heartbeat races And youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢re headed out the door Open up your eyes Let the sunlight in ItÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll help you realize That thereÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s more life within The past that you regret Makes you wish time could rewind Forgive and forget to find The broken heart you left behind Your past it holds you down It keeps you from living The baggage kept around Keeps you from forgiving Let your feet take you places That youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ve never been before As your heartbeat races And youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢re walking out the door Your broken heart is mended The joy is now renewed YouÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢re no longer offended And a better lifeÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s pursued Sometimes Sometimes I feel As if all I do is cry These tears are real Oh I do so try Not to cry But tears well up And tears fall down And its all I do to not erupt My heart aches With pain inside All emotions Like a roller coaster ride Up and down Right side up Turning round Why I cry I donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t know why Maybe disappointment Aching inside Needing heart ointment Maybe ill-used Or Verbally abused Maybe my mistakes I need to stop this crying For goodness sakes I need to find Kindness I need to find cheer I need to find Goodness In the friends I hold dear The Guy of your dreams I could dream about a guy or I could dream that I could fly but why oh why would I dream those When I could dream of who else knows I don't know why oh why why I'd dream about a guy All those girls are in a daze about some guy in different ways I just know that thats not me I'd rather not, Just let me be Why oh Why should I care about some guy thats not there This Fantasy, its everywhere This Fantasy, get out of here! I don't know, why oh why why I'd dream about a guy All I know is thats not me I'd rather not, now don't you see? Wildflowers Wild flowers, In a field, Swaying towers, In the breeze, Wild Flowers, Everywhere, Spring showers, Refreshing flowers, All the colors, Of the rainbow, Shining brightly, In the field, BeeÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s a buzzing. Carrying pollen, To and fro, In the field, All made by God, My heavenly father, Shining brightly, Like golden rod A True Friend A true friend Is hard to find Today right now In this world What is a true friend Is it a friend Whom you can ALWAYS depend A true friend Is hard to find Today right now In this world What is a true friend Is it a friend WhoÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll always care Who will always comforts you When thereÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s no one else anywhere A true friend Is hard to find Today right now In this world When you give up When you despair. Remember this heÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s everywhere Your Absence is Felt In the twilight of each day when my heart seems turned away from these daily tasks I do as I try not to cry over you Your absence is felt as I daily remember of the joys that we shared for my love will last forever In the darkness of the night while the moon glistens bright My thoughts would turn towards you and the things we use to do The dawning of each day reminds me of the way you would rise early every day and start to reading right away I miss You, I do as I continue through all my days reminders of you in different ways hoping one day to see you once again to show you my love, dear friend... Not Me I'm not the kind of girl who walks around in malls wearing trendy clothes like those manikin dolls I'm not a flirt I don't play that game don't wear a mini skirt (I think that's lame!) I'm not that kind of girl and their "trendy" clothes make me want to hurl I'm not the type that goes blah blah blah On a cell phone or who spends money at a spa Their so ditzy, their minds been blown I'm not in their Clique I'm all my own I'm not that kind of chick I like my way its all my own I'd never change it any day let them laugh at the way I dress I'd rather be laughed at then get into that mess! Alone Here I lay all alone in this place I call my own but does not feel like home sweet home here I am feeling so alone though people are all around me my loneliness is still unknown Though moments would come when I'd feel not like the only one moments where when I'd have fun not on my own, but with everyone times like those seam few and far and moments have arose when it seams hard to bare So I try and find ways to sooth away the pain and I try to fill my days though the loneliness remain here I am remembering moments went by, and now is gone to sooth my pain I sing that is why I write this song hoping it will help time go by and bring another restful night so there I'll lie in the moons soothing light Continued Failure I continue to try yet I keep on failing when I fail I cry with frustration and wailing the work seems too hard but I continue trying when I once again fail, feeling like a [developmentally delayed] so upset I keep crying failing I succeed at I'm learning to do better I've got it bout down flat with his help I'll be greater I know sometimes all around you there's troubles so much to endure with heartache and turmoil but there is still hope and to God I'll be Loyal I'm getting quite drained my emotions are flowing let hope still remained and my faith is still growing my troubles seem few to the ailments of others but God will renew our Joy, Oh my brothers failing I succeed at I'm learning to do better I've got it bout down flat with his help I'll be greater I know sometimes all around you there's troubles so much to endure with heartache and turmoil but there is still hope and to God I am Loyal My Feelings My feelings I cannot express for fear of others and my want to impress Their Bottled Up Oh so much that people must be weary of explosion at touch My Heart aches for I want to explain but my hopes to are very much in vain People around me expect me to be good so expressing my feelings is something I wish I could I cannot cry for they say "don't go there" so I keep it inside never for others to know or me to share so I save it for nights when everyone's asleep I cry in my pillow so they won't hear a peep Woah! thats ALOT of Peoms huh? But really its just a few of what I've written. If you've made it through this far I commend you on your endurance/perseverence. Now I would love to hear what you think of my stuff? I'm thinking one of these days I might compile alot of my poetry into a small book...perhaps one of these days...lol My PoetryA short story: THE INTRUDERA Short Story:Jerrel the Jester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merry Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 Thank you guys so much for your comments! Here is yet another poem. the newest installment to my collection. lol ENJOY! Reflection As I gaze into the mirror with open mind in thought I see the image that is there the reflection that I see is but an outer shell of me but the question is not what I see but what God see's inside of me what lies beyond those hazel eyes only me and God can see the secrets that I hold the secrets that are me only with projection of the secrets that I hold (though frightened of rejection, I must be Bold) I can be and do all that God wants me to So with projection, my reflection is not just my outer shell but is a reflection of my faith in christ and of my heart as well.

liopleurodon Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I felt really wierd when i read your work. I feel as though all of those words were written by some clone (female version) of me. Not only an awesome poet, and a Christian, but a girl who isn't wrapped up in all the stuff all too many teens are. Keep writing: you never know when it might completely change someone for the better. -Chris Chaney rsn Christofels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
