One of my hobbies include writing poetry, and it really has helped me through hard times. I feel some sort of release when I rant and vent about my feelings that almost overwhelm me. I'd like to share some.
Stuck in Concrete
It's pouring now
surrounding me
beginning to harden
don't want it to be
up to my waist
grabbing on tight
It doesn't seem to matter
how hard I fight
It holds it's grip
and I'm there to stay
alone in this pool
of unmerciful grey.

I got inspiration writing this because lately, I feel like
a part of me has been depressed due to not just one reason.
I've been very pessimistic by feeling like I can
never snap out of it. As much as I want to, it doesn't
seem to sweat.
Fortunately, I believe this poem has helped me and I am that
much closer to feeling better.
Keep me breathing
Laying next to you at night
gives me the feeling that
things are right
The smile that comes when
you hold me tight
Lasts in my mind when
you are out of sight.
Stay around and keep me breathing
When times are tough and when
I'm seeing what
Love is about
Life can take any route
Mine's to you.

This is actually the beginning of a song, and it's
about my boyfriend, who I've been with for more
than 2 1/2 years. He is one of the few people that
keep me sane and who I can lean on no matter
what. I plan on finishing this and singing it to him
on our 3rd anniversary(Dec.16th!)

Too drunk to remember you had a life
Too drunk to realize you had a wife
Too drunk to remember you had 2 little girls
Too drunk to realize you had the world
Too drunk to realize your world crashed down
Too drunk to remember you fell to the ground
Too drunk to hear the sirens all around
Too drunk to realize you were to blame
Too drunk to even remember your name.
Now you remember the life you left behind
For those drinks that helped you unwind
Now you realize it wasn't worth one drink
To watch your life wash down the sink.
From now on, think.
Description:
This poem is about my "father." He hasn't
been in my life since I was a toddler, and
the only way I know what he looks like is
because of photographs. Supposedly, he
was an alcoholic and the last straw for my
mom was when he decided to drink&drive
and crashed-which paralyzed him.
Not having a main father figure in my life
has always been a struggle, but I believe
this poem has taken weight off my shoulders
that has been there for a long time.
I realize I have great people in my life and
if I have children some day, I will be the best
mother I can be, without thinking about my dad's
mistakes.
What is Love?
Love is everything. Love is a time thief. Love is molasses.
Love is finding a pair of jeans that fit perfectly.
Love is the rainbow after a thunderstorm.
Love is not peaches and cream all the time.
Love is not casual. Love is not a house broken pet.
Love is not one sided. Love is not ropes and chains.
Love is not forced. Love is not a raunchy rap video
and a one night stand. Love is not money and what
kind of car someone drives.
Love is not easy. Love is all emotions from excitement
and happiness to doubts, anger and tears. Love can give
you butterflies and shortness of breath. Love is worth all the
hassle and not worth losing.

This was an assignment for one of
my english classes, basically picking
either love/hate or greed, and saying
what it is and isn't and being creative
with it. I really like it.
I'll add more as time goes on. Hope you enjoy :)
