Letting Go

Let go of the old

embrace the new

never question why things happen

just roll with the punches

and try your hardest

do things for yourself

not for others

have fun in life

live each day as if it were your last

love with your whole heart

and don’t worry about it getting broken

there will always be something to pick the pieces

up and put things back together!

New Direction

Tired of being used

and treated like crap

there’s a point when you realize

that you can no longer keep doing things for everyone else

you need to do things for yourself

do what makes you happy

not worry so much as to what others will think of you

not care how much you standout

as long as your happy and not hurting anyone.

Everything in life happens for a reason

good and bad

each brings on a new look at life

a New Direction!!!

Monomyth

Big scary word

that basically means

stages of our lives

everyone is a hero

in some way shape or form

each one of us

goes on a monomythic journey

to find out who they truley are

after coming back from the journey

we have a better idea of who we are,

but then we start another

and go through the process

of changing again!

No More Ideas

When I first started writing poems

I was full of ideas

full of detailed stories

and emotions

just waiting to be expressed!

Now I’m running low on stories

not sure what to write another poem about

cant believe this class is almost over

and cant believe that my first year

of college is almost DONE!

Color Purple’s Ending

Full of joy and sadness

all in one

the colors so elaborate

so full of life

give inspiration

and show FREEDOM

Celie now totally free

to be with her children

so full of happyness

and joy.

 

 

Master of Two Worlds

Before leaving a world that you know everything about

you think to yourself

there is no way your going

to be able to make it in another world.

It’s to hard and

you’ll never master a new world

then as you progress through that journey

it seems like all the fears you had about it

aren’t true

its easier than you expected

and by the end of it you are a master of the new world

along with a master of your old world!

Were Done

The last bowling match of the year

all the Seniors played all three games

finally we threw out last ball

our last ball ever to be thrown in a high school match

the last day for us to wear our uniforms

and be a part of our team

our family

that we have come to love over the past four years!

Finally the match is over

we all burst into tears

as we present our coaches with the plaques we had made

they start to cry

then as we leave the bowling alley

we take our final steps across the entrance to the alley

and know that we are now back into our world

where we are no longer part of the team!

The Drive Home

The perfect night has come to an end

how you went from being so nervous around the person

to feeling so comfortable with them

is a mystery in its self

as he/she drives you to your house

you cant help but feel like the night has gone by to fast

you never want it to end

when they pull into your drive way

you both just make small talk

because neither one of you wanna go home!

Then out of the blue he/she

asks you if you would wanna go out again on Thursday

you heart beats faster

you try to play it cool and not sound too excited

but that never happens!!!

You say good night

and he/she drives off

but your not as reluctant to go home

because you now know that you will see him/her Thursday!!!

You Can’t Make Me

You can’t make me…

wanna come back to your arms

miss getting treated like crap by you

miss all those nights I cried over you

miss all the nights I waited by the phone for your call

miss all the times you shoulda been proud of me

but instead made me feel like I’d done something wrong!

You can’t make me…

love you, when I don’t

miss you, when I won’t

and come back to you when I don’t want to!!!

Hope

This feeling deep within my heart

showing me the way

letting me know that I made the right choice

helping me to see the good in things

the good in other people

the good in bad situations.

Showing me that no matter how bad things are

I could ALWAYS have it worse

and that someone somewhere does

but yet they keep hoping that things will get better

and I should too!
