I can't take it
The woods are to large
With sound everywhere
And the light of morning so far away
Sadness is all there is
Because happiness can't grow
No nutrients to survive
Barren wasteland
Light is ahead
The sound so deafening is no more
A hand at the light
Takes mine and leads me through

When I think of you, I can't help but wonder
What your life is like up yonder
If you look down on us and smile
Sending us your love all the while
You always were a hard worker
Out in that hot steam cooker
But, you went on til your work was done
For you knew one day-you'd be gone
I think of you and smile
With love all the while
Remembering those days as a child
How you never let me be wild
Looking at me with loving eyes,
I knew you were very wise
The stories you so often told
To me, they never got old
When I think of you, I can't help but wonder
What your life is like up yonder

No More Fear
Trembling with fear,
Of the unknown.
He sits in darkness,
Weeping alone.
What's it all about,
He ponders through tears.
Unsure of his thoughts,
Nothing is clear.
For hours, then days,
He sits all alone.
The cold enters his body,
Down to the bone.
The unknown is upon him,
His end is near.
Death now surrounds him,
There is no more fear

My Poetry, and Words from the Heart
My Angel and My Friend
By: Monica
I never thought that I would find,
a friend so great and a friend so kind,
I look up to you in every day,
because I learn something new from you everyday.
Without you I don't know where I'd be,
but your still here, friends with me,
you deserve much more than I could give, but without you I would not live.
You've given me more than money can buy, and for you I'd give my all and I would die,
this feeling I feel gets stronger everyday, hoping not to screw it up, I constantly pray.
I know we have our problems now and then, but once its fixed our friendship is better times ten,
and I want you to know that I really do care, even in fights when I say things that aren't fair.
You're an angle from God up above,
and Im thankful for your understanding love,
because when you're around everything seems right, and in you, I will always confide.
Thanks for being the friend you are,
you are my best friend, an angel by far, everything in you is an inspiration to do great,
and you'll be loved by all because that's your fate.
So never stop being the real and wonderful you,
because God shines in all that you do,
and whenever it seems like I'm never there, just remember that:
I Love You,
And I Will Always Care!!!!!!
This poem is dedicated to Aaliyah Dana Houton
I'll never 4get ur face
ur wide, beautiful smile
everybody agrees wit me when i say
u walked that x-tra mile
u were everything
wit ur gorgeous african american skin
too bad i never got to meet u
and learn that person within
u were definitely one in a million
ur love just went on and on and on
u gave everyone that special feelin
just like u said in ur songs
i'd give anything to still have u here
to grace us with ur soft voice
if i could turn back the hands of time i'd skip the
day of ur death
but God doesn't give us that choice
but we all know ur in a better place
ur walkin in streets of gold
there's no more pain or tears to cry
u don't need n-e one to hold
so yes we will miss u
u were one of the greatest stars
as puffy says
"i love u gurl and u're the one that i will always
miss" by far
-Ashikah Shay
"You'll Always Be In My Heart"
One day you are here,
The next you are not,
But unmissed and forgot,
You are not....
In an Instant your gone,
You left so quick
Your cause of death,
Makes us all sick
No reason to die,
You didnt do a thing
You are now in Heaven,
And with angels you sing
You took your last breath,
And hate took you away
We would do anything,
To see you today
Our country is strong
Never shall we die,
Our hearts our broken,
But we will survive
One day we'll meet,
In heaven above,
But until then,
We'll show with love,
We'll show how much,
That we really care,
Unbroken and proud
In a time of despair
We leave you now,
With our helds held up today,
Proud and glad,
To live in the U.S.A.

I want to hold you
Written by Shaun Damon Campbell
I want to hold you
And never let you go
I want to take you to places
That you’ve never seen before
I want to walk with you through valleys
And travel over seas
Cuddle up to you in the moonlight
And lie beneath the trees
I want to open up my heart
And show you what is there
Because if you were not special in my life
My heart would just be bare
My heart would be like an icicle
Dripping in the morning dew
But it’s burning like the fiery sun
With the love I have for you
Sometimes I try to act like
Someone that I am not
I do it just to conquer
The love I have already got
I may not be that special
Or like you are to me
But I can’t try to act like
Someone that I cant be
I am my own person
I can’t help the way I am
If I could id tear me up
And try to start again
I will always tell you the truth
And I will never lie
Because I don’t want to hurt you
And it hurts me to see you cry
I want to tell you something
Three words isn’t much to say
I hope you understand it
And remember it each day
Each day we are apart
And you are gone elsewhere
I hide away my emotions
I think of the day ill see you there
I hope you will always love me
And you wont close up the door
Breaking up a relationship
That I want to last forever more
I love you more than anything
That I could ever own
And if we weren’t together
I would feel so cold and alone
Stay with me forever
Don’t ever let me fall
Pick me up when I stumble
Tell me to stand up tall
And when we grow older
We can see what fun we had
And look back at the times we shared
And realise its not all that bad
I will never make you upset
I will never make you blue
But the thing I want most of all is
I want to stay with you.

Passion
by: Zach
And the emotion takes over and pulls me into the
darkness of the enemy.
I need to break free
I need to be careless
But my life is so sudden that i cannot stop it.
The truth whips through like a hurricane
As I fall sleepless on the floor
A burning inside, an extinguished flame
Weep tears of pain for the world.
