sea of people
Such a handsome face
Ever since I look every where
But I cannot find you
You started a fire in my heart that day
I dream of you all the time
I see different faces everyday
And yet I cannot find yours
I try to stop
To find someone else
But no one else
Can ever compare to you
A fire beats inside me
Refuses to go away
I will not stop
Until I find you
Relationship Recipe
One boy
One girl
Add a romantic setting
Maybe play a slow song
A girl looking for love
A guy falling head over heels
Put them in the same room
Have their eyes meet
Push them together for a dance
That is how you create a relationship
Old Love
An elderly couple
Holds hands
As they walk in the park
They have endured many things in their life
Going to their daughters wedding
Watching their only child graduate from college
Getting misty eyed as she leaves for college
Smiling as she graduates from high school
Getting up at three in the morning to hush her
Giving birth to a baby girl
Getting married
Finding each other years later
Breaking up and walking away
Meeting for the first time
Love is old as time
It never fades
Never dies
Love lasts through your life into death
Upside Down
Walking and talking
Easy for some
Watching as everything
Turns upside down
Cars driving in the sky
Clouds floating on the ground
Grabbing a star
And avoiding the glaring sun
Everyone walks by
Not noticing what I see
Coffee spilling out of cups into the sky
Oh my it seems
The world has taken the day off
And went upside down
Oh look at the creepy clown
Seems as if my nightmares
Have come to play
Oh boy what a day
Untied Shoes & Bubble Gum
Mismatched socks tinted green
A white dress with a ketchup stain
Shoes left untied
Running out the door
Backpack half unzipped
Papers flying everywhere
No time to stop
No time to wait
I must hurry, hurry
Or I'll be late
Chomping on a piece of bubble gum
Blowing a huge bubble
POP!
All over my face and hair
Scrapping it off
The sheepish look on my face
As you cut my hair
Forever
Three friends sit on a bench near the lake
They kick pebbles and tell jokes
Laugh and smile
Lock pinkies and make a promise
They'll never stab each other in the back
Stick together through whatever
And be friends forever
A promise that can't promise they'll keep
Fast forward a few years later
Everything's changed
Two stick together while the other breaks away
Finding two new friends to hang out with
They try to make it work
But it's useless
Skip ahead a year
The two friends try to keep up with each others lives
But soon they forget
And the remaining girl wonders where the other is now
Does she still live in the same house?
Or did she move?
She her self longs to know why everything had to change
Why?
Superficial
Walking around
Staring down at everyone else
Like your the queen
And this is your world
You act like you own everyone and everything
You wear the latest trends
Look like a barbie doll
Minus the convertible
Everything about you is plastic
No concept of money
Charging credit cards left and right
Shopping bags piled on your arms
Master card slapped down
Bill tossed aside
Makeup slathered on
Sushi with friends
Obsessing over $500 dollar boots
One day that money's going to run out
Left Behind
I was promised the moon & stars
Everything under the sun
Instead I got hurried goodbye
And no explanation as to why
You left me behind
As the day pass by
I stare out the window
And wonder what changed
The seasons blend into one another
The holidays come and go
I refuse to let my emotions show
I grab the red jacket you left
And head down the road
Where I go
Is unknown
Just One Bite
A delicious juicy red apple
Crunchy and sweet
What a treat
How you are going to sink your teeth into one
A mysterious lady
Comes by with what you're looking for
Little do you know
That before she came by
She poisoned this apple
Waiting for a fool like you
You happily give her a few dollars for the apple
Sinking your teeth in
Crunching down
And swallowing one bite
Ready for more
But the poison is quick
And you now lie on the floor
Apple in hand and lifeless
All it took was one bite
Friendship Is
Friendship is...
Making someone laugh so hard milk come out their nose
Being funny till you make your friend pee their pants as a school bus passes by
Scaring each other awake
Staying up until three being silly
Skipping down the sidewalk
Drawing chalk pictures on the driveway
Going to lame school events
Walking home afterwords
Making silly faces for the camera
Taking a million pictures
Talking to each other in between classes
Watching Halloween and then going outside
Saying Happy Birthday
Going trick-or-treating even though you're too old
Smiling even on your worst day
Off The Deep End
Staring at the water
Seeing the sad, pained face
Covered by a mask of happiness
Tricking others into thinking you're fine
Repeating lie after lie
Struggling to get a good grip
To stay sane
But your eyes don't tell lies
They show the pain and bitterness that has taken place in your heart
You never used to be like this
But they targeted you
Tormented you
Day after day
Breaking you down
As they sat high up on pedestals
Laughing as you cry out for help
You beg them to stop
But they refuse
A cruel look in their eyes
You are not the first
And will not be the last
There will be others
You go to that bridge day after
day
Contemplating if anyone would notice
They have made you think this way
Again you come to this bridge
Today is different
You have left a note for your family
Telling them you're sorry but it hurts to much
You want to silence the pain
You get a running start
Jumping into the water as they arrive
Screaming your name
Begging you to please stop
But you're already sinking
The pain is still coursing through your veins
Only muted by the water
Coldness surrounds you
Invites you to come with it
Blackness invades your vision
Telling seductive lies
Sirens pierce the air
As everything starts slipping away
You realize what a lie it all was
Jumping of the deep end will not help
It only hurts more
You struggle to swim up for air
But you can't breath
And everything is blurry
Slipping away
Feeling someone grip your arm
Pulling you away
Saving you from your own grave
Gasping for air as your family crowds around you
Warmth invites you in
Telling the truth
Things will get better
Curious Finds Down At The Beach
Today when I went down to the beach
I found some peculiar things
A penny at the boardwalk
A doll half-buried with specs of sand caught in between the faux eyelashes
A bucket and shovel
A lollipop stuck to a surfboard
A pale arm sticking up from the sand
Broken glasses
Cereal box floating in the water
Inner tube stuck on someones head
Oh the things I saw at the beach
Quite strange actually
Cherry's & Limes
Cherries round and red
Sweet and juicy
Stain your lips red
Limes green and hard
Slice opened to a smooth inside
Tangy and a hint of sour
Combined together
For a peculiar taste
Sweet and tangy
Some might make faces
Before you shy away
Come and try some
Cherries and limes
Love Songs Don't Help
All those songs
The singer wails on and on
Talking about how much they hate someone
Miss someone
Love someone
But do they not see?
That the person they're singing to
Probably does not care
These songs do not help others
Get over heartbreak
A love song is just a song
That cannot sum up ones pain
So put the records away
And go dance in the rain
Ideas
All it takes
Is a spark
To get an idea
For a book
A poem
Maybe a T.V. show
Or a song
Just use your imagination
That's what its there for
Let the ideas flow to the paper
And watch as they come alive
My Utopia
My utopia
Is when I have my nose in a book
My head in the clouds
Gazing at stars
Or just writing a poem
Nothing fancy
Nothing to plain
I could be fending off monsters and I would be happy
I would feel out of place at a fancy party
My writing is all I need
My imagination is my utopia
Why Do I Write
A little girl
In the fourth grade
Bored, nothing to do
Devouring book after book
Reading at a 12th grade level
Picks up a pen and paper
Waiting for an idea to pop into her head
Fast-forward five years
In the ninth grade
Finishing up homework
Discovering a writing website
Writing story's
Absent from the site for months
Skip ahead to February 2011
Joining Figment
Ideas flowing
Writing almost everyday
On to the summer
Decides to write a book
Putting pencil to paper
Words flowing onto the page
Ideas swirling in the air
Characters coming to life
Places shimmering in the air
This girl has discovered her true talent
This girl is me
And imagination is my greatest asset
I write because I want to
For me
Because my imagination can roam free when I write
Allow them to step into someone else's life for a few hours
Music Is My Language
A song can speak
When words fail
Songs hold meaning
They can cheer you up
Put you in a great mood
Make you feel good
You can sing along
Dance to the beat
And sway on your feet
Music is the simplest way to communicate
It doesn't insult me
Music is my language
Sing Me To Sleep
All tucked in for the night
Will you please sing me a lullaby?
Anyone will do
But I beg you please
Sing to me before
I drift asleep
The lyrics caress my cheek
Wrap around me as I sleep
And whisper goodnight
You are never too old for a lullaby
Over The Bridge
Over the bridge I go
Where I'm bound
I do not know
Maybe to the lake
Or the gas station
A park
The library
A store
Or even better
Maybe I'll visit the imaginary land of Narnia
It's been a while since I was last there
Over the bridge I go
Where I'm bound
I do not know
I'll take my imagination along with me
Reflections
I can see my reflection
When I look in a mirror
A puddle of water
I can also see others when they pass by me
A range of emotions
Some sad
Others happy
Even a few that are mad
Sometimes
I wonder why we see reflections
All it is a image of our face
Reflections are a wonder
Don't Forget Me
You've said before
You would leave
But you never did
And I never believed
But one day
I woke up
And realized
You weren't there
I knew in case this day
Ever came
That I would leave
You with something to remember me by
In your jacket pocket
You will find
A mix-tape titled
Don't Forget Me...
Masquerade
I sat ideally by
As I watched
As you moved through the room
Graceful on your feet
You moved from person to person
Telling lies
We locked eyes
And you moved closer to me after you passed each person
This is your masquerade
Trying to get money from people
Making everyone fall for you
But not me
For I am smarter
Quicker than you
I get up and disappear in the crowd
Balloons
Buy some balloons
And I'll tie them to my wrist
And let them carry me away
As I float through the sky
I will observe the clouds passing by
One is shaped like a flower
Another a leaf
I'll look below
And watch as the people below
Point at me
Wondering why I would choose to fly
This way
But I don't mind
It's actually quite fun
Spilled
Painting my nails
When the phone rings
Ignoring it
While I continue painting my nails
The ringing stops
Only to start again a few minutes later
My nails are drying now
And In a hurry to get the phone
I knock over the nail polish
When I come back there is a purple heart
Of nail polish on the table
So I take a picture
And clean the mess up
Doodles
Bored out of my mind
Nothing to do
Besides stare at this wall
I grab a notebook & pencil
And flip it open to a blank page
Staring at the page
Tapping it quietly with my pencil
Drawing smiley faces
Doodling stick people
Drawing flowers
And rainbows
The boredom has passed
As has the time
Coloring
Draw a picture
Color it in
With me I use different colors
Never one for the entire picture
An array of colors
Purple
Pink
Blue
Even green
Maybe a bit of orange
Or a dash of yellow
Any color will do really
Make the flower turquoise
And the heart green
Ghost Of Me
As the days pass by
And the time ticks by
I slowly begin to fade
Until there is nothing left
But a ghost of me
I roam around
Passing people on the street
Walking through walls
As I restlessly wander the earth
Waiting for eternal sleep
That has yet to come
Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall
Goodbye summer
And your hot sunny days
Reaching 100 degrees
Raining occasionally
Windy on some days
No school
Just time to relax
But I will see you again
Hello fall
And your windy days
Accompanied with a chill in the air
The start of school again
Temperatures dropping
Not sandal weather anymore
Curling up in a blanket
As you lead us into winter
Flying
The day drags on
Boring and mundane
Life colored a simple black and white
As the clock strikes 2:00 am
I will close my eyes
And enter a dream land
Filled with an array of colors
Where I can fly through the sky
Free from my everyday life
Fighting dragons
Painting the sky
And flying from dream to dream
Until I wake up again
Touching The Sky
I rush up the playground
To the swings
A smile spreading across my face
My mother pushing me back and forth
Laughing as I get higher in the sky
Reaching one hand out
Trying to touch the sky
But falling back
Again and again I try
And come a little bit closer
To touching the sky
Leaving with a satisfied smile on my face
Because one day I will
Touch the sky
Hope
Hope has many different forms
It comes as a prayer
A person
A thought
A wish
A answer
A feeling
A name
From day to day
Month to month
Year to year
People hope for their dreams to come true
Their prayers to be answered
For a loved one to get well
To see someone once more
Hope fills the worlds
It is something that we all cling to
Something we all want and need
Hope is everywhere
Floating Away
I watch from the ground
In a sea of people
As a balloon
Floats through the air
To the sky
Higher and higher
Wondering if that could be me one day
Floating away
The wind blows the balloon in a new path
It gets caught in a tree
I sigh
Hoping that one day
If I am ever stuck
While floating away
I manage to continue on
Walking away
Without seeing if the balloon is back to floating
Run
Run
Run fast and far
Just to run
Just for fun
Run in sneakers
Because you rarely see people run in heels
Run for any reason
Run for sport
Run in the rain
I do not care why you run
Just run
The Music
The music takes me away
To different places
Dances with me
Pulls me into day dreams
Makes me happy
Lulls me to sleep
The music
Gives me a reason to dance
I wake up everyday
Looking forward to the music
That flows from my iPod touch through my earphones into my ears
The music is magical and wonderful
The Feeling Of Sunshine
The heat beats down on me
Some days it makes beads of sweat drip down my brow
Other days I feel its warmth radiate through me
Tanning me
Rare in the winter
But still there
Fighting the cold air
To keep me warm
Like a blanket wrapped around me
To me this is the feeling of sunshine
Finding Happiness
I spent so long
Looking for you
Hoping praying that my dreams would come true
For so long I was sad
The days dragged on blurring into one
But then you came along
And the sun was brighter
The grass greener
I got butterflies thinking about you
I'm falling hard
Dying for you to see
But you look at her the way that I look at you
And my happiness wave
rs
The butterflies disappear
And I pray you will see
That it should be you & me
One Day At A Time
Days pass
And people change
As the time ticks away
I will slowly begin to fade
So I will take this life
One day at a time
Not too fast
Not too slow
Instead one day at a time
Like when your a baby
Learning to walk
Taking one step at a time
Trying to keep your balance
This is how I will live my life
One day at a time
With A Boom
And sit on the grass
Watching the fireworks
So many different colors
Purple, green, red, blue, yellow, white
Exploding in the sky
Taking pictures
Wearing glo sticks
Having fun
On the 4th of July
And the final round of fireworks
Are set off with a boom
Letting Go
If you love something
You have to let it go
But sometimes that's not so easy
So as I leave
Always remember
That if you listen closely
You'll hear my whispers in the wind
You'll see me in your
