POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I am a beginner in writing poems. The poems that I write all reflect personal experiences that I've gone through.
We Are Who We Are
People always judge us based on society's rules
The way we handle things makes them think we're complete fools
We may be stubborn but we aren't naive or stupid
Our voices are treated like a television that's been muted
Too afraid to speak out for no one truly understands us
Some perceive it as being cold and others think it's distrust
When everyone around you tells you your thoughts are wrong
You start to doubt yourself and believe you don't belong
But when you finally find that one person who truly understands you
It's as if the clouds gave way and...

Guardian Angel
Everyone has their own army of guardian angels.
They make sure that life's ups and downs aren't too painful.
They can come into your life as friends and family members.
They all have a purpose and you must remember.
Your guardian angels help you get back on your feet.
Even if all that surges through you is the feeling of defeat.
They pull you off your knees and make you stand tall.
They'll pick you up no matter how many times you fall.

Remembering The Dead
Those who gave up their futures
Now they lie mourning in the ground
Never raised to see the light
Now they rest in Flanders Field
Thinking of their tragic past
Where they once patrol the land
Want to see the dawn of day
The doves fly above their graves
Now they lie mourning in the ground
Never raised to see the light
Now they rest in Flanders Field
Thinking of their tragic past
Where they once patrol the land
Want to see the dawn of day
The doves fly above their graves

My Wolf Pack
How many friends truly have your back?
Supporting you through everything like a wolf pack
When hard times come, they walk in not out.
They’ll protect you without a second of doubt.
Joshua, Charvie, Charwyna, Kristoff, Hana and Kelly
You guys are as important to me as my own family.
This is dedicated to you, knowing you’re always here.
No matter where we all end up, you’re always in my prayers.
You guys make me feel if everything will be alright.
No matter how dark it seems, you guys make it look bright.
I’ve never been good at showing how I truly feel...

Duty Above All
Platoon by platoon, the soldiers march on.
Carrying their rifles on their back, wearing their dog tags proud.
They hold their heads up high, seemingly full of confidence.
However, their eyes tell the truth; their eyes say they’re scared.
Their families worried, wondering when they’ll be home, if they’ll be safe.
They board the planes, ready to fight any fight, overcome any challenges.
They arrive at the battlefield, immediately sorted into their tents.
The soldiers finally get a chance to know one another,
All coming from different cities within the country. ...

Winter
Three words, three little words.
How can they cause so much pain?
Like millions of ice arrows piercing my heart.
The words, they make my blood turn cold.
The tears that fall from my eyes turn to ice.
The wind blows, whispering your name in my ear.
Even the warmest winter days would turn bitter cold.
How can you say you don’t love me anymore?
After all that we have been through.
I thought that we could last till eternity, I guess I was wrong.
What have I done to deserve this pain?
Everyone says that time heals all.
But they...
