Poem/Artistic Stories

  • Some hope, and some despair Resting on your shoulder. And it laughs in your face.
    the printed word might kill you,  The whispering, May hurt you.  Who am I that I come to be here...?
    Just the bad things, oh...There must be something
    Horribly wrong with me ?
    The sanest days are mad  Everyone's oh so quick with advice. Cruel imagination is still giving me pain.  Sometimes I ri...

    I can not take this anymore
    Sayin everything i said before
    All these words they make no sence
    I find bliss in ignorance
    Less i hear the less you say
    You'll find out anyway
    Just like before
    Everything you say to me
    Takes me one step closer to the edge
    And im about to break
    I need a little room to breath
    Cause im one step closer to the edge
    And im about to break
    I find the answers arent so clear
    WISH I ...

  • Poems from my heart

    Friday, October 3, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story


    This seems a good place for me to begin my journal, with two poems
    I wrote.  These two seem to reflect my heart.
    How does one begin to say
    all the confused feelings
    when to say “no” becomes
    a tear to your heart
    and anger on the face
    of the one you love?
    Confused times…
    the doctor calls it dementia
    and your heart cries
    because though he is
    still here, the one you love,
    he is al...

  • Beats Me

    Thursday, October 23, 2008

    I am not a poet or artistic just wondering how many people would be expecting something that they are not going to get. This kind of makes me think of a lady that is having a very difficult time handling her Father getting along his alzheimers journey. I guess I have been so blessed being raised by my parents. I did not always think this way when I was younger, very confused (even more than I am ...

  • Priceless Treasure

    Tuesday, November 11, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

    Not sleeping much tonight, so I thought I'd share this lyric with you all......
    If I had everything this old world could afford
    The whole world with all its treasures untold
    And if I had the power to rule over this land
    And hold everything Ive wanted in these hands.....
    If I had everything
    But this priceless treasure
    Within an earthen vase
    No one can measure
    Nore can time erase
    Blood of Jesus
    Shed with...

    Good Morning Blessings...
    If it stops with you, then the blessing will disappear.
    The blessing will only keep working if it is continuously passed around.
    If you are a recipient of a blessing,
    Keep the blessing working
    By being the source of blessing to other people.

    Stand lyrics by: rascal flatts
    You feel like a candle in a hurricane
    Just like a picture with a broken frame
    Alone and helpless
    Like you've lost your fight
    But you'll be alright, you'll be alright
    [Chorus:]
    Cause when push comes to shove
    You taste what you're made of
    You might bend, till you break
    Cause its all you can take
    On your knees you look up
    Decide you've had enough
    You get mad you...

  • the quiet girl

    Saturday, November 7, 2009 | A Poem/Artistic story

     I'm the quiet girl behind that tree
    I'll climb to the top and be free
    alone with the birds that sing to me
    the only ones that listen to me
    I close my eyes and fly away
    for a moment in time I feel alive
    I'll leave all my pain and sadness behind
    to blow away with the wind
    sometimes I wonder why
    I even try to please her
    I don't even think she cares
    I'm not the important one
    That w...

    LOVE THIS SONG
    Jewel - Stronger Woman Lyrics
    I guess you could say I'm one of those girls
    That's always been with one of those guys
    You know the type
    Like right now, he sleeps while I write
    But it's better than crying
    I'm worn out from trying
    From loving a man who always makes it clear
    I'm not welcome here
    Just when he's hungry or frisky
    or needs something cleaned
    And you know w...
