Poetic Mistress

A Simple Thing

2009-04-23T07:06:00.000-07:00

Music is a feeling,

Expression is a thought,

A cause is a thing,

Fame is everyone's dream,

Like popularity,

Pride is happiness,

Joy resembles it,

Laughter is a measure,

Living life is a treasure,

Experience gives obstacles,

Like paradises thats tropical,

A breath of fresh air,

Family that suppose to be the ones that care,

Doing the thing that makes you free,

Never holding back or losing the opportunity,

It's me that chooses poetry as my choice,

I'm just waiting for the day when the entire world can hear my voice,

What the Future May Be Holding...

2009-04-15T20:28:00.001-07:00

With the terror and wars that keep on continuing,

Never knowing what to expect on this journey,

Realize the accusations for history has come this long for friendships and relations,

Adequate amounts of sleep and the right meals,

Will leave you getting the knowledge of your education,

Trying to see if it's a deal or no deal,

You can't keep up with the revelations,

And resolving all the complications,

For they may leave with the conflicts of tomorrow,

We don't know if they leave us with joys of happiness or tears of sorrow,

Sure people say, what is life if you don't go party, drink, smoke, or just have fun,

Until there is no more left not even one,

No conflicts were solved, no wars were won,

Would the world ever see the bright shining sun?,

Fears of slavery, racism, and citizen's rights,

Going on forever but the United States is never scared to fight,

We never wanted to get involved,

But now it brings on more problems,

Our nation got attacked and now the problems we have to solve them,

Will our nation get rid of the fear and scars,

Would it ever be an amazing nation that can get back under control,

Would the people of this country love to see the new day or will the world fold?,

Lost A Friend

2009-04-07T11:11:00.000-07:00

I don't know how for so many years,

We've been so cool,

Nowadays I can't even shed a tear,

I want to be friends I really do,

Not actually anything that I will certainly fear,

It all seems to be about you,

I don't understand how we talked and hoped for change,

Not that I look at it, it seems like the only one changing is me,

While you stay the same,

Sometimes you need to realize that everything doesn't revolve around you,

Yeah I can't take anymore of the I don't cares or attitudes,

I may interrupt when you're talking but I try to get you back on track,

It's a bad habit but I'm changing and it seems more like you're changing back,

Into your old self while I'm making myself brand new,

I can't do anything else but drop you,

As a friend,

We can still be cool but that friendship came to an end,

It's so hard to drop a friend that I have known for so long,

But I can't take it anymore because I'm all the way through with it,

You've been so wrong,

I feel that I am better by other friends,

It's almost like you don't notice the way that you act but you consistently try to make mends,

I let you know once what your actions were and so I gave you a second chance,

Since you're not changing and for your friendship I'm not going to beg,

So just to let you know you just lost a best friend,

Remember (I'll Never Forget You)

2009-03-24T11:43:00.000-07:00

I remember you like you were with me by my side just yesterday,

Thinking of the things we used to do with the things we used to say,

Like see you later and I love you,

I loved hearing you voice,

Or seeing your name on the caller id,

But I can truly say that I still love the way you speak to me,

Even though I can't feel or touch you or see you face to face,

I know that you live in me each and everyday,

I believe that you're always with me everywhere I go,

Knowing everything about you, remembering the love I have for you, makes my pain show,

For the tears that drop down my face I try to clear them away,

Because I know you don't want me to cry, live in sadness, live my life this way,

I remember you like the spelling of my name,

I realize by everything happening around me life is not a game,

I'm just now making it through,

But at least I know I'll never forget you,

Communication

2009-03-20T12:19:00.000-07:00

A heart left broken,

By a boy that kept hoping,

Can't see she just needed love,

Did he not see that love was enough,

She never needed money to make her happy,

All she needed was for him to come and love her and make her feel like somebody,

She didn't want anybody else,

But he was always working and she put her heart and trust into herself,

Because when she felt like crying he was never there to comfort her,

When she need him the most,

He was never there to tell her it would be okay,

So while he was gone,

She packed her bags and went away,

She started her career the next day,

Never said a word,

Never wrote anything down,

So when she sang,

It all came from the heart,

Sang so beautifully and made a beautiful start,

Guess you never know what could happen if you let a person speak,

Let alone when you let a person sing,

Communication is the key,

Think I'm Falling In Love

2009-03-04T19:27:00.000-08:00

Look at me,

Is this reflection in the mirror really me,

Let's see,

A girl that doesn't want to be hurt,

Not anymore,

That just won't work,

Being so far away makes me feel scared,

Feels like I'm stuck out in the middle,

The middle of nowhere,

My heart is telling me don't fall too deep,

Tears falling down the rest of my body,

Dropping down to my knees,

I can't help it I'm falling in love,

For some odd reason I just can't say no,

Just can't get enough,

Oh no! my temperature is rising just thinking about you,

I don't know what I'm going to do,

Boy, I swear I'm really falling in love with you,

Becoming ME

2009-02-25T20:19:00.000-08:00

In the sixth grade, I lost my mother,

In my mind, I kind of lost my brother,

That was some of my biggest struggles,

Still after that fact I went to school,

Felt like the world around me was being so cruel,

Its like everything that I was going to do had some sort of rule,

But then again I remembered to just be me,

I thought that my life was beginning to get better, where I could be happy,

Never got cranky or even snappy,

I was always down for having fun,

But by the time I did, high school was almost done,

I overcame my fear of being shy,

But rather than saying goodbye, I said more like HI!,

I felt that speaking my mind and my opinions, gave me a voice,

I knew from that point on that I was getting the chance of making my own choices,

I am very persuasive and poetic,

With a lot of energy and really athletic,

A creative mind and generally artistic,

Mostly everything about is realistic,

So now I say HI to a new part of my life,

That I am very willing to try,

But all I can do is accept who I am,

Being all that I can,

But everything that I do, I'll always believe,

Believe so that I will achieve,

I finally found the answer to my question as to who will I be,

Mostly for the present and the future,

And that is I am becoming me,

Where's the Happiness

2009-02-19T11:15:00.001-08:00

Walking around town,

Realizing the fantastic sites and stores,

Seeing everything around,

Opening a door to a brand new world,

So amazed like watching a circus or watching a particular clown,

From the tall trees blowing in the wind,

To the snow falling on the ground,

The cold weather hitting my face,

Birds singing a song or woodpeckers making a sound,

Runners and walkers moving at a fast pace,

Kids playing on a playground,

Smiles, giggles, and laughter,

No one has a frown,

Little girls playing with barbies,

Boys playing with hot wheels,

Funny listening to Nemo trying to say anemies,

Or kids with smiles because they have a dollar bill,

Oh what a wonderful day and great view,

My golly a lot of things I saw and a lot of things I could do,

Happiness is all around you,

Where is at,

High or low,

But my question is where in the world did it go,

Falling Under The Weather

2009-02-12T22:38:00.000-08:00

I keep trying to tell myself that he really does love me,

As he goes around having fun I continue to try to let my heart free,

These feelings I have for him are driving me insane,

But at least we both know that things were not the same,

I really wanna make things work,

But it seems like we're already done and it hurts,

He's around acting like there wasn't even a we,

I continue to wonder if he had these thoughts before and how could it be,

So now I'm down and I;m slowly picking myself back up,

Making myself stronger each time dealing with this tough love,

Why can't I ever be in a relationship and be happy,

Cause I'm tired of all dudes falling into the rumors and lies that make my endings sappy,

I continue to ask myself why,

Why me, why I,

Can't find the one to love,

If my past events haven't been enough,

I'm still putting the pieces together,

But it's like trying to connect a bird back with a lost feather,

I guess you can say this guy has made me fall under the weather,

Proud to be American

2009-02-05T07:57:00.000-08:00

pretty brown eyes,

nice brown skin,

questioning why I'm so glad to be african american,

so much history,

on just becoming a race to the society,

so once a long time ago we were looked at like nothing,

but growing up and stepping out we became something,

so much to treasure,

so much to be told,

how is it that they survived so many stories still untold,

the treatment of people,

the life we live today,

give it up for all the african americans that change their life so we can live this way,

sometimes we think it's not true,

but who really knows,

we have stories, actions, and news,

they show us who did what they had to do,

so it's kind of bad and good how we live our lives now,

knowing that our elders went through all that pain,

so that we could grow up in a world full of games,

so reflecting on some good and bad things that happened while I stand,

Remembering how many people put their lives on the line,

So that in this future I can finally say I am proud and you should be proud to,

To be any type of american,

Finding Me

2009-01-28T21:58:00.001-08:00

Lost far away from home,

In a place unknown,

Cold, deserted like I was place out here on accident,

Where do I go from here all by myself with no type of sense,

Where is my destination,

Seems like I'm a jack in a box, stuck in isolation,

My name is unidentifiable,

My background in the system was never noticeable,

Since I never committed a crime or had been charged with a felony,

At least at this point I feel like laughing but I cant, its just not that funny,

I don't know who I am,

Don't even know where I stand,

Where am I,

What is my name,

There's something about this place that reminds me of you,

But you don't understand that I am afraid to love you,

Never realizing that you are me on the inside,

So here's my true identity the one thing that I cant hide,

Loving you was all that I could, but what happens when I turn out to be you,

This is a poem that made me realize I had to love myself before anyone else!

Forgiving Him

2009-01-21T21:17:00.000-08:00

Feeling lie I could never love a man,

Based on what my father did and is still doing,

Believing that the man I love would soon diss me,

Turn into him with all the drug addictions and consequences,

Spending time in jail,

Always having his mother on his side to make bail,

I guess I just don't want my heart to get broken again,

Thinking he's the reason that I can't love a man for being him,

Thanking him for believing in me and leaving me alone,

Stood right by my side whenever I was feeling the need to leave home,

Searching wasn't getting me anywhere if I didn't know who I was exactly looking for,

Just knowing that someday he'll come knocking on my door,

Now I know I am fortunate to one day fall in love,

But I can't take what my father did out on him,

Going to church to relieve me of my sins,

Knowing that keeping it all inside,

Shame would always be something that I would try to hide,

This is something that I should have done a long time ago but I know that one day I will get pass the pain and live,

Realizing to live my life peacefully through god, my father I will forgive him
