61. Just Want A Happy Life
I live with depravity,
Pressure like gravity.
Why can't they just see
I want to live happily?
I live with depravity,
Pressure like gravity.
Why can't they just see
I want to live happily?

Her eyes glowed with such ambition,
And her mouth spoke words of love and kindness.
She took pride in wandering;
She walked to find the places her heart longed for.

Wake up, beautiful.
Wake up from this tragedy.
Breathe,
Return to reality.

is spinning too fast
when day and night are stuck in dusk

Famous Poem
Shadows on the wall
Noises down the hall
Life doesn't frighten me at all
I think this is a really good poem because it teaches kids not to give up and hide in the shadows and actually express themselves.
I know the screams sound like thunder
I promise we won't go under
I know the heart feels hollow
There will be blessings behind the shadow
Why can't we sleep forever
And live inside our dreams,
Sheltered from the heartbreak
That life can sometimes bring.
We are sorry for all that has happened.
It hurt us too,
And together we will mend
Your heart all the way through.
Keep your eyes on the prize
Watching for the finish line
Taking in another breath of air
You realize in just a few minutes
Life is a carousel, always going forward, never going back.
Existence is a hard thing to keep when you stop trying.
To live a life, you must want to live.
To want to live you must find a way.
Be like the willow that bends,
shade that it sends,
peace that it lends.
This is an amazing poem - saying so much in very few words. Things don't always go the way we want, and sometimes we have to adapt and do so cheerfully - a very important lesson. It is also...
Even when you feel like a million scattered pieces,
you are still whole.
Even when you’re unsure of the path you’re walking,
you still have purpose.
We wait for what we long for.
We long for what we need.
Impatience and anxiety
Give root to errant deed,

Believe in yourself and you can achieve
Things you never thought possible.
Believe in yourself and you can discover
New talents hidden inside of you.
Believe is my favorite word from the Bible. Thank you for this. It reminded me today of people and equality. Remember next time you get down on your luck that each of us are equally as...
Whether dancing the circle
or sitting in the pews,
the world is full of wonder
and knee-jerk news.
If you think you can reach the sky,
Why don't you flap your wings to fly?
Always give strength to your mind and soul.
One day you're gonna kick your goal.
Death is an inevitable fate.
Someday we have to go.
You hope you did
your best in life,
And on Tuesdays you must look at
yourself in the mirror and say
“I am worthy. I need to be here.
And I am grateful I am.
