21. Lights
Light up the way for me.
I'm scared of the dark.
Illuminate the blackest road
With the brightest spark.
Light up the way for me.
I'm scared of the dark.
Illuminate the blackest road
With the brightest spark.
This is the truth! I have had my share of life struggles, but my faith has allowed me to overcome my trials. Throughout your battles and rough roads, you have to believe that the light will...

It's hard to trust someone who always lied.
It's hard to love someone who made you cry.
It's hard to care when you want to die.
It's hard to believe when you have no pride.
This is LITERALLY the story of my life. Well put!!

Memories in my life fade away
As I replace them with others.
They are forgotten and stored away.
Although the memories are pushed to the side,
Famous Poem
I been scarred and battered.
My hopes the wind done scattered.
Snow has friz me,
Sun has baked me,
This poem was in a textbook of mine from the sixth grade. As a child, it resonated with me. It inspired me to write poetry. As a child, educated by white folk, I had no idea who Langston...
Life is like a maze.
You don't know where you'll end up,
But that's the way life is played.
I have been a foster child since I was 3 months. This life is crazy. #loveyourselfnomatterwhat
Mirror, Mirror, on the wall,
Why aren't I thin, pretty, or tall?
Why don't you show the perfect me?
The one that everyone pretends to be.
I'm good enough;
I don't care what you say.
I'm proud of what
I accomplished today.
Wow! I absolutely, 100%, love this! I think this would be a good lesson for everyone to learn. People shouldn't just rely on others to compliment them, and just because somebody thinks...
before the bullet it bit
before the candle is lit
before the last call
before the curtain falls
When demons pick at my troubled mind
And the passage to sleep becomes harder to find,
I close my eyes, turn out the light
And listen to the music of the night.
I know there's something great in me,
Something I struggle to find.
The days and months keep passing
As I lie here, stuck in my own mind.
The future of tomorrow seems so far away. Sadness filled my heart the day you walk away. I remember the little games we played with the memories that I have from yesterday. The future of...
You could have given up,
but you kept on going.
You could have seen obstacles,
but you called them adventures.
Another good one! I enjoyed it very much. And I think most of us can relate; I know I can. Thanks for sharing.
Time
Has always been there.
It was the beginning,
And it's going to be the end.
It was raining the day you told us,
And ever since I feel like it has not stopped pouring down.
I wish I could stop the rain falling,
And hold your head up and not let you drown.
My mother had cancer and just reading this tugs at my heart, and I start crying because I had the same experience as you. Just don't ever give up, things will get better. Just smile.
I sit here now in darkness, living on my own,
A life of existence, white walls, my home
With rooms that sometimes resonated with laughter
Saw also tears of much sadness, pain, suffering, and anger.
You look at me and only see the cracks,
Fractured, like a piece of glass.
Some are shallow and straight,
I feel as if I'm teetering
High above a dark, black hole,
And it's taking everything I have
Not to lose control.
There is
a strength in you
you haven’t even
begun to find.
So true in that we really don't know how one will react until one has been there and has done it! Suffering is an important life experience. Great poem, thanks.
Famous Poem
I, too, sing America.
I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
I hope you find peace in your battles
I hope you find light within the darkness
I hope you find comfort in your storm
I hope you find your smile within the tears
Come on, women!
Must rise to the challenges
Of your enhanced responsibilities.
