Can I have another chance?
To know you,
To love you,
To let your love rain down on me?
Did I miss the storm?

Why does everybody refuse a heart
Why does everybody control a heart
Why does everybody deny a heart wh
and...
Why does everybody refuse true lov

I am regretting many things
What is there to find in apparent
There is nothing to explain unless
You don’t fall in love the flower
Thriving ..

And I thought to my savior, “God,
Something so perfect could not be

Only indulging in me when it benef

Thought I’d feel the breeze throu
Making sounds like wind chimes
Wanted to feel the warmth of the s

I would have written a poem with t
But he doesn’t move me
With him, I am either standing st
Maybe we just need to talk
Maybe that’s it

An overbearing mother
Two overwhelming siblings
And too much time alone
Phone Taken
Back up discovered

I touch everything yet I feel not
But my life is not a blur
I could say that I choose what I
I could say that love conquers all
Shattering every time they separat

Why is it so easy to write when I
Why do I love to imagine your ver
Why do I flash back to the times
Why is it that my wrist is breakin
And soul is aching while I write

Come touch me in violating ways so
My identity lies in defilement and
Come say you love me and then scor
Come caress my nonexistent self es
I wanna burn with deceitful passio

All types of writing has guideline
All poetry seems to have some sort
Vocabulary must be up to par,
Each stanza having its specific or
The way I see it,

Temptations exude, bleed out
On to the carpet which I call my
Conscience distorted
Lust evident
Yet one thing remains

Before you forget me,
I want you to remember me as me
The happy, extrovertive, caring pe
Please don’t decide to forget the
Please don’t throw away the love

I guess it started a long time ago
Me giving away my happiness for a
I guess I never had an independen

I still seek the approval of the o

Keep it to yourself
And watch them be offended
Tell them
And be overlooked

I must say,
Being without a pen takes breath f
Being without poetry makes me feel

I don’t like flashbacks
Because often times they are the b
You know, the ones where your hear

The ones you want to go back and c

More than words can say, I swear
A phrase so easily put into words
Even though the beauty of you illu
Even you shut your eyes and hide a
Even you choose to disguise

Nothing can take the place of a fr

Side swept paper cuts,
And long sleepless nights
Remember that a poet is nothing wi

Hey, tall brown girl
You gave me confidence
When my head was held low you lift
Hey, tall brown girl
With those stallion legs

Feeling drained, beaten down,
Bruised and blamed
Wondering why my value feels like
Hoping to breathe again
God, give me the air so I can bre

A man who is a poet is one who is
One who craves love underneath his
So much that he would scratch the
A man who is a poet believes that
That he must hold it in his hands

Every time I see you, there is so
Like the way your aroma gives me c
And how it feels to wanna kiss you
To wanna love you right but so una
Or how it hurts when you walk away

It’s like nothing I’ve ever exper
It’s like being afraid of the unkn
It’s like bleeding out in the Pac
It’s just like free falling
It’s like going out into the world

It’s like we’re meeting for the ve
Like you were never mine
And I was never yours
Hugging me, holding me
Like you’ve never seen me before

I’m a caged free spirit
I find fun where ever it can’t be
I’m petite and a little awkward
Random in my actions
Random in my ways

There are some things I’ve writte
I hope I never have to read again
But I do not forget,
I’ll have to find myself again
Someday

Trying to close it,
Forcing the hidden to keep still
Pleading with the revealed to put
Warning the exposed to come back i

You told me to hold on to somethin
Funny how life works
You told me to never give up on an
It’s funny how I can remember all
How I can remember the way I felt

Let everything go,
To become light

There was a fire in his eyes that
But by the effects of many things
Not a rage, nor malice,
Nor hatred of anything
