I never said I was *good*. I just write at times to get things off of my chest. Most true poets would die a slow painful death trying to read these. So, my advice? Don't read them!

Poems:

The Light ~

The sun is bright
It hurts my eyes
Stings and burns
Suffocating my life
My dreams
Too unbearable
Hot, searing brightness
Oh, how I long for the darkness

The Darkness ~

The darkness is kind
it is a friend
it is constant
never gone
maybe hidden 
due to the light's cruel nature

Fly ~

Soar like an eagle
high and free
for there is no greater hope,
than for what might be.

Living ~

There are many things worth living for:
an infant's coo,
a child's laugh,
rainy mornings,
warm blankets,
good friends,
a lover's touch,
a smile
These are some of the things that make life worth living.

Hollow Apologies ~

Which is worse
No apology
or a hollow one?
One is a lie,
you choose which is worse

The Day I Cried ~

I have lived a few years on this earth,
dare I truly call it living.
I breathe 
I think 
I hear 
I see 
I touch 
I grow 
I mature 
I bleed 
I heal 
But I never felt truly alive until the day I cried. 

I ~

I am here
I am ok 
I am still here 
No matter what you say. 
I am complete 
I am not hollow 
I try to be a good human being 
not a woman who is shallow.

I AM NOT EVEN GOING TO DIGNIFY THAT WITH A RESPONSE ~

Upset, yes, I am I try to give constructive criticism,
but am given rough words and harsh feelings
when I ask to just agree to disagree and let it go
I am attacked again, and again. I dont want to argue. 
Why is it so important for anyone to be right??
MY GOD DO YOU LISTEN TO YOURSELF? 
MY GOD NO! YOU APPARENTLY DO NOT!
I am wrong.. Wrong lots of times. 
But I refuse to bow, refuse to grovel. 
You say you have apologize numerous 
times for somethign you never did? 
Hollow apologies are worse than none at all.. 
do not insult me with such things..
Do not dirty my life with your fears 
and emotional inadeqacies.
Do not bring me down to your level. 
Do not bring me to your pettiness.
I have no tolerance for you.
begone out of my life.
Leave now. you cease to exist 
you no longer live in my world. 
*poof*
Now, what was I just talking about?

The Lie ~

Why do we argue
just you wait and see
there is a prize that will fill you heart with glee
So argue and fight till your hearts content
Never put a thought to try and repent
what we want is far more important
but in the end it all isn't worth a red cent.
The Betrayal ~

Betrayal of Trust
Betrayal of Deed
Betrayal of Duty
Betrayal of Need

I am a betrayer of this you have said
due to my actions and deeds
to you I am dead

My actions are my own
my conscious is clear
I shall never walk amongst you
no longer shall I fear

For I am the betrayer
by my own hand
no longer by evil shall I stand.

For I am the betrayer,
and the betrayed.
Sound ~

my head hurts at its loudness
my heart aches at its wail

it is the sound that wakes me at night
it is the sound which makes it hard for me to sleep

it encompasses all that never was and all that will never be
it mocks me in its own strange melody

it is the sound of silence which surrounds me
