As i promised (well not really promised...mostly got jealous about how much awesome stuff you guys were posting and wanted to put something of mine up) here is one of the poems that i wrote a while back. This is a poem that i wrote (and actually recorded as a verse in a song) for a friend of mine who was going through a hard time. A term paper that she had been working on for hours and hours was lost when her computer crashed so i wrote this:
Your tears are my worst fears because my place of refuge
is made a cesspool, and that lets me know it hurts here
so i take a breath fueled by the fight to dry the water slides
that God's prized daughter cries, until my way's successful
and i feel like i ought to die for allowing you to hurt
i'd crush mountains into dirt if i knew how to move the earth
but my power is in words and often my tongue will get tangled
trying to find a way to thank God for sending one of His angels
and it's unfair not mend this imperfect world
before sending to Earth this girl who was clearly made to be up there
i see the pain when your tears flow it breaks me apart
but i'll hold you in my arms, it's the closest place to my heart
and i'll make this vow before God that i'll do what i can afford to
to take this place and make it a little more like Heaven for you
but for now, all i can do is re-write the sky in quotes loving and tender
in hopes that you'll remember what it feels like to fly
This poem to me sounds like some of the things my friends used to say to me and my best guy friend said to me wen i was goin thru my rough time...it helps me remember my tru friends and how they were there 4 me like u were there for your friend =]
oh my the way the comment i just posted was from me =] i keep 4gettin to rite my name
