Wicked World

THE RICH BECOME RICHER.
THE POOR BECOME POORER.
FAMILIES, INDIVIDUALS,
STRUGGLE TO SURVIVE.
POVERTY, STARVATION,
HUNGRY MOUTHS LEFT UN-FED.
ILLNESSES, DISEASES,
SO FEW CURES.
HOMELESS, HUNGRY,
AND SICK
SUFFER LIVING
ON THE STREETS.


ARGUMENTS BEGIN.
FIGHTS START.
HATE STRIVES.
WARS BREAK OUT.
WEAPONS USED.
INNOCENT PEOPLE,
FRIGHTENED CHILDREN
INJURED AND KILLED.
BY MISTAKE OR NOT,
CRIMES AND MURDERS
ARE COMMITTED.


CHILD ABUSE.
ABANDONMENT.
RAPE. NEGLECT.
SICK, TWISTED PEOPLE
HURT OTHERS IN
SO MANY WAYS.
CHILDREN BEAT,
LEFT ALONE TO
FEND FOR THEMSELVES.
SCARRED FOR LIFE
BOTH MENTALLY
AND PHYSICALLY.
THESE VICTIMS
TOO TERRIFIED,
EMBARRASSED,
AND ASHAMED
TO TELL A SOUL.
JUSTICE IS WITHHELD.


CHILD, TEEN, OR ADULT,
VICTIM OR CRIMINAL,
WE ARE ALL PART OF IT.
PART OF THIS CRUEL,
VICIOUS WORLD.
PAIN, AGONY, ANGER,
HATRED, MISERY, AND
DEPRIVATION.
THIS BRUTAL HELL HOLE
IS FULL OF PROBLEMS.


THE SAY HELL IS
THE WORLD BELOW,
THERE TO PUNISH
US FOR OUR SINS.
I SAY WE’VE CREATED

OUR OWN CHAOTIC
HELL HERE ON EARTH.
NOW WE MUST STAY
TO LIVE IT UNTIL WE
DIE AND ARE SET
FREE!

Full Moon

I sit here under the sky.
Gazing at the stars; missing you. 
I think about how slowly time passes without you.
I wonder…can we see the same stars? 
A bit of comfort comes to me knowing we are under the same sky.
Please let this time apart make us stronger and not weaker. 

The moon half full, like our relationship.
It can go either way from day to day. 
A little light shines through one day…
Even more disappears the next. 
I hope like the moon, we will never burn out.
I wait for the day our hearts can be together. 

I wait for my full moon…for your love!

See Me Inside Out

You look at me and see a girl,
who has never been put outside her own world.
There is more to me than you know,
it’s there deep within my soul.
You only know the me your eyes let you see.
You know nothing about my past and how it used to be.
Look at me from the inside out.
Get to know me and what I’m all about.
The pain, anger and fear I will no longer hide,
if you take the time to look at me from the inside.

Challenge

So many obstacles stand tall,

in our way of having it all.

So many problems stand strong,

in our way of being everything but wrong.

All I want is to be happy with you,

but the perplexity won’t let me through.

I love you with all my heart,

but it seems as if destiny has set us apart.

The challenge to be together is incredible,

I just hope it is not inevitable.

High School Girls

I went to a party, I was drinking.
I made a mistake, I wasn't thinking.

Two guys, one night.
One was wrong, one was right.

I lost my self-respect and felt so low.
I didn't want anyone to know.

But of course when I got to school,
just about everyone knew.

My friends all looked at me differently.
People who didn't know me, knew me.

I heard them talking,
I kept walking.

I saw them stare,
I acted as if I didn't care.

In reality I was dying.
On the inside I was crying.

I got myself into one bad situation,
and now I've got a reputation.

How much I wish that night would have never taken place,
or at least from my mind, could be erased.
