With Life Ablaze

Fantasy and Fascination
Brighten and enblaze a life,
But can kill a dog,
If you know what I mean.
Never going to give in.
No mater how
Tired, weak,or waisted.
I will be strong
With life ablaze
To  lighten the way.

Poverty in a Four Bedroom Home

Inn 'n Out  never had.
Tacos with ketchup more like it.
Poverty in a 4 bedroom house.
Five cars parked in the driveway,
But nothing in the salad.
Apple for lunch,
How I hated PB sandwiches.
Never had a dress that
Mom didn't make me.
Felt like a burden for being alive.
Feelings of ,
"Never gonna live up to,
Never gonna be me."
"It's so hard for me.", people would say.
As soon as I get a child , never gonna be me.

Saturday Night

It isn't always a bad thing
 To want others to like you.
Wanting to be loved.
Loved because we sacrifice.
You came out of nowhere!
But I've fallen for you.
Saturday Night you'd rather not be here.
Well, than you don't even deserve a
Good Bye!

Forfeiting Hearts

Toes are pink.
Teeth are white.
Fingernails bitten.
Hair so short.
Almost Natural.
Playing games, but
Only with hearts.
We play fairly
And you know
We always forfeit
The game.

Today

Today I sat with the Angels.
Their sweet words abide with me.
Something in my inside world
Ever threatens my balance,
Yet the angels have lifted my head up.
This is the importance of life.
To gain an understanding of people and things.
What a waste my life would be
 If I were perfect, but I lacked humility.
I  would lack empathy ,
With my poetry stale and dark.
There would be no love
Or depth of character
In my beating heart.
I would actually be far from perfect.

Only 10 Pounds Away

Wanted first class,
But all I could afford was second.
Dress too tight.
Slits on the sides too high.
Wish that I was better.
In better shape ,so these
Things wouldn't look so cheap.
In shape ,I mean thin,
But now I don't know
If it's worth the work
But than I see,
I see first class
And  I yearn for a better me.
First class,
Only 10 pounds away.
