Poems I Wrote Years Ago...... A Mixture

Farewell life I'm on my way
I cant go on living another day
There is nothing that makes me want to go on
But go to sleep at night and not wake to the dawn
Why must I live as I do
Where friends and family are few
And why must I want to be
Alive, happy and free if it's not for me
I can't smile at all
And lately I always fall
But I cant get up and grin
Because I know I can't win
This losing battle pretending to be glad
When all I feel is sad
So please let me die
So I wont have to cry
Myself to sleep at night
When I turn out the light
Wishing for someone to be there
For someone to really care
But that isn't here just now
And I can't allow
My life to stay so awful and down
So I shall die without a sound
And you shall bury me in the ground
Farewell

WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO
what is this world coming to
and how will it all end
voilence on eery street corner
murder,corruption everywhere
without thoughts to others
only yourselves
families torn apart
affairs,divorce
churches no longer full
Hope and belief,gone
fighting ,argueing
everywhere you turn
theres no escape
friendships lost,none gained
no one cares at all
bang bang
someone's been shot
no one stops to help
people rush by
thankful to be alive
but not enough to help
someone in need
starvation,disease
innocent people and children
have no home,no food
no where to go
those who can give-dont
everyone just cares for themselves
a scream
another rape victim
another gang fight
a childs been stabbed
a child has been taken,kidnapped
yet everyone walks on
as though nothing is wrong
what is happening
what is this world coming to

REMEMBER
remember when we used to always talk
remember all our romantic walks
remember when we always had fun
remember when our relationship had just begun
remember the times you told me it was ok to cry
remmeber when you told me to try
remember when you were there for me
remmeber how we used to be free
remember all the fun we have had
remmeber both the good and bad
remmeber when you told me you cared
remember you told me youd always be there
remember when we promised forever
remember when you broke my heart,remember

ABORTION-the unborn childs point of view
Mommy please help me they're tearing me apart
Hurry mommy soon they'll take my heart
I guess that soon I am going to die
So I will spend my time left saying goodbye
Goodbye the things I will never see
The birds, the grass the pretty trees
I'll never have the chance to see what everyone can
I'll never even learn to stand
I'll never crawl,I'll never walk
I'll never get the chance to talk
I'll never smile,I'll never cry
Instead of 70 I will be 12 weeks when I die
I'll never get to have a sister or brother
Or officially meet my father and mother
I won't get to learn about God by going to church
I'm giong to die soon and oh how much this hurts
I can't stand it momma feeling this pain
If I was alive in the real world I'd be going insane
But I will never have the chance to live my life
Or grow up to have kids and a wife
I wont get to go to school to learn
Or see a campfire burn
I'll never hear a single sound from earth
I won't even live until my birth
Goodbye,momma,they've just about reached my heart
The rest of my body has been torn apart
You know I'm sure if you met me you'd want me to live
But my life your taking away when your supposed to give
Don't worry momma,I forgive you even though I'm just about dead
I just wwish you'd let me live instead
Goodbye momma,depsite it all I love you
I only wish you'd love me too.

I LOVE YOU
we come together face to face
drawn to each other in an embrace
we kiss-oh it is heavenly
i melt in your arms as you hold me
I melt at the look in your eyes
I love you and no other guy
there is no one who will ever mean more
your love for me has opened a door
a door i thought would a;ways be closed
but to love me is what you chose
look at me, just once again
we are lovers people more than just friends
hold me in your arms real tight
dont let go stay with me thru the night
it was you the one for me only you
you arose feelings inside that i never knew
existed,darling i need you more than you know
i will never ever let you go
so baby love me,hold me always
i shall love you forever and a day

written at 13 gr.7(i think)of what i thought love should be like

WHY
i shiver as i walk thru the pouring rain
nothing i do can ease this aching pain
it hasnt been al lthat long since youve been gone
i wonder what had ever went wrong
i thought that you said in me you could trust
so whatever happened between the two of us
i never expected it to come to this
the end of heaven,the end of pure bliss
why'd you go,why'd you kill yourself
i was there if you thought there was no one else
our friendship was important to me
why wasnt forever happiness meant to be
for no reason your own life you took
its like closing a half read book
if you came back we could start over again
i'll miss you forever my dear friend

Time to Let Go
------------------
Fly,fly to Heaven Little One
Your stay here is done
For God is calling to you
Your stay here is almost thru

Hurry on to your new home
Now child,it's time to leave,please don't groan
For you're going to a new home for good
Now,hurry on,you know you should

For when Thy Lord calls you,you know it's time
To leave us,don't worry,it's no crime
Now go child,please don't make me cry
For I really do hate to see you die

But I can't hold on for always
Now hurry on,he's counting the days
For little one it's time to go
I'll see you again,when it's my time you know

Now please don't cry,you just can't stay
Now on your bed you body,still,shall lay
Now close your eyes real tight
For it's your very last night

Don't worry you'll feel no pain
It's only your family that will go insane
Bye my love,bye for now
I've held on as long as time will allow
