As I look in the mirror
That sad glare in my eyes
The loneliness I try to hide
It couldn’t be any clearer
...

Beauty is not the makeup you wear
Or the smell of your perfume wear
Beauty is not the cosmetic care of your hair
Or the style you choose to flaunt
...

What is time?
It is not tangible
The future does not exist
Unless you make it till tomorrow
...

Although she smiles without a care in the world
Leaving a glow wherever she goes
Behind that stare of hers, screams loneliness
Once clueless as well as careless
...

Sorrow; Love lost with sadden words
Lost hope with tears that burst
Twisted happiness, that sometimes hurt
Sorrow; A sentiment that makes one tear
...

The shining beam of sunlight pierces my eyes,
Forcing my lids to open wide.
First thought in my mind,
Not only is this a new day;
...

She's a perfectionist
She's courageous and full of knowledge
She's courteous and intrigued by those she meets
She turns unfortunate situations into thought out lessons
...

I notice the storm heading our way
The dark gray clouds overlapping
Seems like its taking days
The lightning raises the hairs on my legs
...

We are all blindsided by the selfish individuals.
Those who seek to reach the top, the envy never stops.
Unfortunately what they do not know,
Selling their souls for the white hat;
...

Despite all I know, I still keep that frog in my throat
and sadly continue to suppress my soul
My thoughts are on overload
These feelings, I can not control
...

I’m tired of all ripples in the shades
I’m tired of the dead flowers in this place
I’m tired of the bad energy you bring
I’m tired of the hearing the bad man sing
...

When we met
I tried to avoid you
When we met
I tried to ignore you
...

I was born from insecurity
I’m as loyal as can be
I barely knew my father
I’m a mother of two sons
...

The smell excruciating to my nose each time I enter the doors.
The gloomy sight tranquilizes my thoughts,
When I walk down the halls.
The sharp sound of the alarms pierces my drums.
...

The weather is my assurance of HIS presence each day.
When the sun shines I know He's smiling down on me.
The warmth from the glow comforts me, when I question although more.
The sunshine is His happiness upon humanity.
...

He’s self-centered and set in his own ways
He distance himself more everyday
He speaks with confidence
His strong personality overpowers his very presence
...

Life is a game of Chess
We, are the Pawns
We fight to reach the top, taking one step at a time only to be redundant
While the Knight stops us in our tracks
...

Not a moment went by
When she didn’t ponder the thoughts
Of what she could be
She day dreamed,
...

I follow the light
It lights my way through the night
I’m blinded by the many sights,
and question all that comes to light
...

When you’re lost and searching for more,
feels never ending
It is then you’ll find when
Everything you have gained,
...
