Poet Introduction
I'm honestly still figuring out this whole poetry thing. I just pretty much write what's on my mind and put it on here. Mainly deep personal stuff that's happened to me or personal thoughts and feelings.

Safe place
After a life filled with disaster and turmoil
And things that would make anyone's blood boil.
After heartache, betrayal, and pain
All these years I'm starting to feel whole again.
I've built bonds based on trust and healing
I've broken bonds negative and demeaning.
I've laughed, cried, and lashed out in anger.
But never with intent to be a danger.
I'm mostly past all of that now.
And it's because of you I can look back and say "wow".
Many have helped before you came along.
But few have proved to be as steady and strong.
I'm...

Life isn't fair
I live, only to be shackled.
In this life, I've been nothing but tackled.
The ultimate betrayal from one most trusted.
Makes me hate, most days, to be touched and lusted.
But that has been only the beginning
Of this tale I tell of seemingly never winning.
I was moved about never in one place for too long
Until I was adopted by people seeming loving, but looks are often wrong.
I grew up too fast for my own good.
And I grew into a woman who wasn't quite completely understood.
Then along came a man who seemed pleasant enough.
Until one...

My Little Miracle
I never knew what stepping stones were for in life.
So I stepped on one and now I'm a wife.
Then that step led to another.
That stone made me a mother.
Who knows what the next has in store
But I know that there's a lot more.
There are many obstacles to get through in life.
So now I know, that's what stepping stones are for.
So I stepped on one and now I'm a wife.
Then that step led to another.
That stone made me a mother.
Who knows what the next has in store
But I know that there's a lot more.
There are many obstacles to get through in life.
So now I know, that's what stepping stones are for.

"My Broken Heart"
You were once the reason behind my smile.
It once reached up into my eyes
But now I walk each and every mile
Through a lonely life full of sighs.
We both had so much in common.
It was like we were meant to be.
So we took a chancce with the unknown
To be torn apart by life's raging sea.
I am left alone here in deep sorrow
Wondering why you thought us wrong
And praying not to wake tomorrow
Because I can't keep being so strong.
If you are reading this, you know who you are,
I hope you are happy and carefree
And now matter how...
It once reached up into my eyes
But now I walk each and every mile
Through a lonely life full of sighs.
We both had so much in common.

So we took a chancce with the unknown

I am left alone here in deep sorrow
Wondering why you thought us wrong
And praying not to wake tomorrow
Because I can't keep being so strong.
If you are reading this, you know who you are,
I hope you are happy and carefree
And now matter how...

pain
Lost and alone.
The road of life has been long.
I've known happiness.
I've known love.
All has led me to the man above.
Even still, I do not gain.
I may have known love,
But it's led to pain.
Heartache and heartbreak.
I've known them so long
my chest always aches.
I've known happiness.
I've known love.
And because of these, I also know pain.
The road of life has been long.
I've known happiness.
I've known love.
All has led me to the man above.
Even still, I do not gain.
I may have known love,
But it's led to pain.
Heartache and heartbreak.
I've known them so long
my chest always aches.
I've known happiness.
I've known love.
And because of these, I also know pain.

Finally
After so many years.
After so much pain.
After so many tears.
I'm whole again.
Finally, I'm found.
I'm where I belong.
Safe on the ground.
Never will feel wrong.
Seventeen years have been lost to us.
Seventeen years to make up, we must.
My mother, my mother, I've finally found.
Your daughter, your daughter you will astound.
Such joy that I have with my family back.
Such joy I have with knowing you didn't slack.
Everyday you preserve a thought for me.
Everyday I hope it will forever be.
I love you,...
After so much pain.
After so many tears.
I'm whole again.
Finally, I'm found.
I'm where I belong.
Safe on the ground.

Seventeen years have been lost to us.

Confused
I am so confused.
Who should I choose?
The love of my life,
or my soulmate to lose?
Confusion is such a pain.
Either one will bring me gain.
To hurt either one I will hurt myself
But I can't leave the other on the shelf.
One of them I love more than the other.
The other one is more like a brother.
Both I love and won't reject.
But one means more
that's who I'll select.
I am confused.
Who should I choose?
The love of my life,
or my soulmate to lose?
Who should I choose?

Love Conquers
It seems everywhere I go
bad luck seems to loom.
It always surrounds me
with a cloud of doom.
Luck has never ever been my friend
and it might even destroy me in the end.
I am followed by death, sorrow, and pain
and it seems I will never hope again.
Relationships seem to not work well with me.
I can only hope this one will thrive to be
more than a whole eternity.
Sometimes life feels a bit too much
until I feel my loved one's touch.
His hands are soft but strong
and helps me realize that this isn't wrong.
He tells me other people feel...

Past vs Future
Past versus Future.
Who will win?
Only time can tell
when the war ends.
I look to the future
only to find
the past is still there
haunting my mind.
The past is my prison.
It keeps me barred in
making me miserable,
more vulnerable to sin.
I try running away
but I get nowhere.
It keeps me in darkness
until I no longer care.
Then along comes a light.
A hand reaches for mine.
I feel peace and love,
grace so divine.
I hear a voice tell me
never worry, my child.
I feel compassion,
so...
