Poet Introduction
I might break, but I’m not broken.
She forgave.
It’s been 8 years since I shared my heart or thoughts on here so bare with me as I enter a new era of healing, and finding myself.
With that I will share a little on my mind tonight.
She forgave you, but she had to forgive herself.
She loved, and has never loved another liked she did you.
She cried every night for a year hoping it would reach you, but it never did.
She prayed for you to rescue her, but you couldn’t be her knight.
She looked at your picture everyday for 6 years, now it’s in a box with a love that’s locked away.
She regrets not...

8years
I look into the window of a house I once knew.
I see the room of 8 years I layed at rest each night.
The walls painted so many colors throughout the years .
The walls are now in an unsettling black.
Memories flash of all those years.
And suddenly I feel the tears.
In that bed at 16 I cried my eyes out over my first heartbreak and at 18 I took him back only to make my own heartbreak.
In that closet holds every homecoming to prom dress.
The vanity with all the pictures holds smiles and sadness.
The dresser drawer on the top left corner is filled with...

I changed
The word change has different meanings don't ya think?
One can change from pure to evil.
One can change from love to hate.
One can change from the Devil to an Angel.
One can change there hair to there clothes.
One can change from good to bad or vice versa.
I changed man, I changed my hair, my soul, my heart.
I changed Bc I knew that if there was a chance I could survive my family I would have to leave those I truly cared about behind.
Yeah my soul is as dark as your heart.
And my minds more fucked up than yours at the moment.

conclusion
I finally gave in today.
I finally let it out today.
I finally relized that my faith wasn't enough.
I came to a conclusion today.
Conclusion they are all better off.
Conclusion im done with it all.
Conclusion let life slip away.
Faith isn't here now.
Havent said a prayer In a while.
Yelled at the sky.
Asking any God why.
I gave him the space I thought he needed.
Instead I misread his silence.
Dads soon to be gone.
Im only 18 but that doesnt mean a damn thing.
18 years leading to your entire world crashing down at once.
Grew up...

What's this??
You ask me if I'm fine?
Even tho you see the signs.
You were once in love and now you hate love for what it's done.
You chose not to fight for it every waking day.. you left and abandoned your love without a second glance.
That I simply cannot do.
He may have broken me and hurt me but that's what made us stronger.
He may not see it but, I'm fighting for us in a silent way. The silane he created one day.
I know you being my Procter you hate seeing me this way.
All the steps to hurting than anger to he's mine and I'll shoot Someone if thay hurt him or touch...

heart
Let it pass to the sea below.
Let me go to the ocean above.
Let my heart slowly go.
Give my heart to someone who needs it.
Its just a heart that lived a life.
But too soon we all surely fall.
It is just my life that will be gone.
And yours will surely live on.
After im gone you'll still have me.
Just a part of me.
A heart that lived to fast to soon.
Let me go to the ocean above.

the unsloved
i][b]A day she never saw.
A murder unsolved.
Broken glass around the hall.
Documents shredded all.
Blood stained floor.
Bruises and marks everywhere.
The struggle was real.
She fought back for her life.
You can see in her eyes she was truly terrified.
She lies cold and lifeless.
So young and so fragile.
She thought she could win against hells own angel.
Now she's lifeless and cold.
The spark gone from her eyes.
She let him in do to a warm welcoming smile.
He seemed so friendly.
But than he turned deadly.

If you saw
If you really saw my heart I think you would be proud of it too.
If you saw my scars I think you would be proud of me too.
If you saw what I went through till the age of 14 you would cry.
If you see me now you would say she's weak.
If you saw my past you would run away.
If you carried my baggage you would break down.
If you look deep into my eyes you would see everything.
If you want to know the story just ask and ill tell.
After you heard the story of a young girl from rags to horses.
You would be damn proud.
But would you look at me the same or would...

let it stay
Maybe its time to pack it all up.
I guess its time to let the past be the past.
Let the past fade in time.
Its time to let go.
Even tho the past is what I have.
I just want to hold on just a little longer than I should.
All I know is that I try everyday.
But now even that's not enough.
Its time to pack it all up.
I have to let the past stay in the past.
Even if its hard to leave, its clear to see that I need to do this for me.
Its clear to see the past is just a distant memory.
I can look back from time to time.
And just remember the good...

sometimes
let there be a little light shining on this life.
Let there be a little sunshine in your world.
Let the darkness your in slip away to a much, more happier time.
Forget the sorrows you face today and tomorrow.
Forget the pain from the past and live with some class.
Don't take this life for granted.
Hell make the mistakes and learn.
Race your truck and get caught by paw.
Just don't leave this world with the regrets and could have been should have been.
Live like you were dying and there is no tomorrow.
Let there be a little sunshine in your world.

Live like you were dying and there is no tomorrow.

Past and present
The past?
I took a trip down memory lane today.
Of all places it took me?
It took me back to a time I thought I forgot
It took me to this summer when I met a young man and fell in love.
I gave him my heart and my trust.
We shared a lot in common.
And and his eyes were eyes I could never forget.
His smile was bright and welcoming.
The man he was well he was inciting.
But the man I gave my heart to.
Soon did break it.
That heartbreak went from anger, to tears, than to understanding.
I saw someone different when I looked in...

Senseless
I get lost in the wind sometimes.
And sometimes I find my way back by the river.
Other times a twister comes around and sweeps me off mybfeet.
And when it's time the hurricane sets me down softly.
I paint the feeling of emotions I have in the eye of the storm.
Sometimes they are mixed.
Sometimes they are clear.
And sometimes I honestly just don't want to feel.
But getting lost in words and love, anger and hate, than peace and home.
Is the best roller coaster ride of your life.
As times are I don't makes sense.
But who really makes sense.
I...
