Endless Thoughts

Enduring yet another night awake

Weary, yet full of thoughts at stake

Convicting dreams of yester year

Realizing how many times I came near

To making each one of those dreams come true

People often told me their views

Like drunken stupor I belived the hype

When I fell, I fell alone with my gripes

Stacked with words that could have been

Now I'm ready to try my second wind

At finding out just who I am

No longer will I let  dictations win

Tired, so tired of putting up a fight

Its time to kiss my nightmares good night

Nobody can take away the gifts God has given me

I will not accept failure lightly

Armed with sheer determination

Tear Drops in a Poetic Eye

TEAR DROPS IN A POETIC EYE

Tear stained pillows

From an unknown poet's eyes

Storm after storm

She wonders why

Searching for answers

Yet still no replies

Chalking it up as just

Tear drops in a poetic eye.

Isolated from people

In a world so small

Climbing each mountain

Only to continue to fall

The higher she climbs

How much further it seems

She only wishes that she

Could accomplish one dream

The only solution is to

Keep praying to the Lord

Asking and begging to

Be released from this scorn.

Interrogating herself for

An answer within

Finding more questions

Repenting all sin

Doing all she can to

Cleanse her soul from disaster

She left her homeland, thinking

There would be happiness after

Realizing that happiness is

What comes from inside

Setting high goals

In which to abide

Creating her ideal

Utopian personality

To enrich her path

Of life with emotional

 Zen Prosperity.

Why it all comes out now

Is well beyond her level

Of greater understanding

Searching for rewards

Far past the mediocre

Crabs in a Bucket

Crabs in a bucket

You can try to hold me down

I will fight for the lives of mine,

Succeed and hold my crown.

You see you have mistaken

To think that you could hurt me

You're only spiting yourself

With crimes of jealousy.

Crabs in a bucket,

Why don't you just

Leave me alone.

I rebuke your anger

I reject your deeds.

I replace your negativity

With seeds of positivity.
