What About Love?
My friends all think I’m weird
When they find out I’ve never had a boyfriend
Or when they realize I am willing
To NOT go out with a guy or have a boyfriend.
What they don’t know
Is that all I’m doing is waiting
Waiting for the right one for me.
What they don’t know
Is that I have Love I’m ready to give
And that I want to give to someone so badly.
People think I’m strange
When I tell them boys are “a waist of time”
Or when I tell them “wait until you’re older”
Or when I say “No,” to a suitable guy.
But they don’t know
That I dream about a True Love
That I want a True Love
And that someday,
I’ll GET that True Love,
When they are broken
And left in a heap because they just couldn’t “wait…”
To Walk Is To Run
To walk is to run
When you feel as if the world is chasing after you.
To skip is to gallop
When your life takes a turn.
To swim is to sink
When you loose your faith.
To fly is to fall
When you have no one to lift you up.
To float is to dream
When you can’t ever get what you want.
To walk is to run
When you feel as if the world is chasing after you.
There Is A Boy
There is a boy in the window
Eyes cold and gray
Face dark with anger.
I stare back at him
Sad and confused
For he always stays silent.
There is a boy at my school
Who is lonely and scared
For his life is in danger.
I try to help him
By asking him what I can do
But he won’t ever talk to me.
There is a boy I know
Who died a year ago
From being beaten to death.
If I had known
If he would’ve let me help him
He might still be living today…
*based on a true story, probably, but not something that happened to me personally*
Problem Friend
I’ve known her for 6 years,
Maybe even longer,
And she’s always been the same.
I’ve tried to help her,
To change her for the better,
But she just doesn’t take advice.
She is a Christian
And wants to act like one
But ever since her cousin has come to live with her
She had been… different.
Her cousin came from Vegas,
The “city of sins”
And was used to some pretty “bad” things.
When she came to live with my BFF
She changed my friend and, sadly lead her
Down an even worse path then she already was on.
The funny thing is,
My BFF’s cousin in now “good”
While my friend is still doing
Very sinful things.
I’ve tried to help her,
To change her for the better,
But she just doesn’t take advice.
I know some day she is going to regret
Everything bad she does
She could really get in trouble.
I know people who have done what she’s done
And who now have ruined their lives
And who now drink and smoke and have kids at a VERY young age.
I’ve known her for 6 years
Maybe even longer
And she’s always been the same
But maybe one day
She’ll change for the better…
Listen
I have a Best Friend Forever
I’ve known her ever since I was one.
But what I didn’t know was her family life,
Until she told me on that one, dark night.
She told me she would get slapped with a belt
She told me her parents wouldn’t listen.
She told me she would get hit by her mom
She told me her parents wouldn’t listen.
She told me her mother made her drink liquid soap
She told me her parents wouldn’t listen.
She told me she was scared for her life
She told me she would think about suicide
She told me she would always cry
And she told me her parents still wouldn’t listen.
I told her I was disgusted
I told her I was mad for her
I told her I was lucky
That I wasn’t scared for my life.
I told her that her parents showed signs of love to me
Behind her back when she wasn’t looking
I told her that her mom was making a fuss about mothers who
Didn’t treat their children right, even when that’s what she was doing herself.
She said she didn’t blame me
For the stupidity of her parents
She said she didn’t love her father like she was supposed to
Because he only showed her order and bossed her around.
She told me she wished she could live with me
But she loved her mom too much
She said she wanted her family to go to counseling
But they just… wouldn’t… listen…
I have a Best Friend Forever
She is one of the nicest girls I have ever know
But her life is being destroyed
By her family who just wouldn’t listen……

Cuts On Your Feet
Cuts on your feet
From all the sins you ever did commit.
From all the hard times you gave
To an innocent person.
Cuts on your hands
From all the hate you have.
From all the insecure thought you have
Kept in your head.
Cuts on your back
From all of the people who put you down.
From all of the people who make fun of you
For who you are.
Cuts on your face
From all the wrong things in this world.
From all of the peer pressure that is
Put onto your shoulders.
Cuts on your body
From not realizing that He is always with you.
From not knowing who he is and that all he wants to do
Is lift you up again…
Cuts on your feet
Cuts on your hands
Cuts on your back
Cuts on your face
Cuts on your body
Cuts on your feet……
