I have a DREAM- Written by me
I have a dream and someday I will make it my own
To others it seems to be unknown
But one day you will see as it will come to pass
Just how much I have been working on it;
so my dream can last.
I have a hope one day it will all come true
So much I have inside of me to give if only you knew
To be an anhiever, a doer it inspires me all
So I have something to grab hold of when I fall
My dream, my hope, my fatih will continue to live in me forver
And this hope I have will never die in me never
A poet and writer I may be
But there is more to me that the eye does not see
So as days go by I will look up and wish on a star
That my dream and my hope is not so far
I will try my hardest every day
To work on my talent in a special way
That now my name is traveling worlwide
It is my bright future and my hope that has been my constant guide
So let me tell you if you have a dream dream BIG I say
Because your dream may just turn into reality one glorius day!

Some Hearts get lucky sometimes
Some hearts get lucky some times
Although mine commits a milllion crimes
My heart is beaten, knocked over and trampled on,
It hardly ever really shone
But one day my heart may be picked up off the floor
And maybe to that I will open hearts door
But my bleeding heart is a tainted red
From all the pain it has surely bled
Maybe tomorrow is gone and dead
Mayb my heart will show me wed
Maybe my heart will alone be forever
Forsaking others hearts, but they don't want mine never
So me and my heart will be clever
And shun the world when I endeavour
To mend my heart again
And soon it will be protected but when?

Love
Love is beautiful, love is kind,
It does not count wrongs it sometimes makes you blind
It holds you when the time is right
It makes you strong through the fight
Love is seeing the world in colours all around
It is loves song, heaven bound
It is always there to rescue and be true
It will always be around when you are feeling blue
Love is a measure of someones care
A burden and a shoulder to cry on as we bare
When times get tough and hard times fall
Love is there when you call
I pray one day you will find a love so true
In whatever you say and do
I hope peace in your heart will always abide
And always comes back to you like a tide
I hope it will make you smile when time get tough
When this world becomes to rough
I pray that when you need that hand
A love will be there for you to understand
Love is precious and hope for you it never turns cold
Love is a true story that the future will behold
REJECTION
Rejection should be turned inside out
Because if you look inside there should be no doubt
When clouds are grey and the world turns cold
Do not crumble and die, just be bold
There are times in life where people will not like you for who you are
But as long as you keep shining like a star
And be true to the one who matters the most
Not to be proud and always boast
But to be a winner even if it means on your own,
Sometimes in life we laugh sometimes we moan
On to the next chapter we have to go
So we can give life a chance with another blow
If you dn't succeed the first time give it another try
But dn't feel sorry for yourself and wonder why
There are better chances out there waiting for you to see
Just be true to yourself and be all you can be
And when time doubts you and you feel low
Just don't let your fear show
Keep onwards and upwards with a spirited heart
And make this a new beginning and a new start
Why It Matters
Why it matters to a girl like me
Am I in your world all you want to see
Am I just a passer by like all the rest
Now is when I put you to the test
My heart can take no more no more
I never want to close my hearts door
Walk into the future ahead and bright it may be
Is it only me you want or do you want to be free?
Sometimes I have to put my heart to the test
Otherwise my days will not be of rest
I will sail to the east and the west
On loves journey on loves quest
Under the stars a lovers dream a dream
Like floating along loves stream
You and me together a team
You shine your light in the night sky as the brightest beam
Now life will surly test me thus far
Right beyond the farest star
Where love will surely test me no more
Either my heart will be open or I close the door

Lifes Fight Lifes Battle
Life is a rollacoaster beyond belief
We try to find some constant relief
We live in the past although it is dead and gone
Wondering where life went so wrong
So caught up in the present we forget it is a gift
Our gears get caught when we forget to make the shift
The rollacaoster drops and then makes a high turn
So we have a lot of lifes lessons to learn
This is what we call life
It is a gamble like the roll of a dice
Sometimes we score big, sometimes we loose,
Sometimes we have big desicions to choose
Life is funny with it's twists and bends
Sometimes we make enemies sometimes we make friends
It is a mystery beyond our control
Wondering which path too choose to satisfy our soul
Life is a cycle, birth marriage and the end,
Sometimes we live in denial only wanting to pretend
Life can be happy it can also be sad
It is a constant worry when things get bad
But I have a hope and one day you will see
The light that shines insde me waiting for others to see
It is not my power but from up above
The only constant message full of love
So come hold my hand and I'll show you life's light
He planted it in each of us, it is up to you to show how bright

My Tears My Life
No man could see the real woman in me
Pretending to like, but do they really love what they see?
So willing to except the giving from me
Wasn't there when I cried in pain, didn't set me free
Still till this day the rougher n harder it gets
I stand alone trying to forget
Becuase when a woman has to husle it on her own
No man around her it is so hard and unknown
but ima battle it fo sho
Until the right one comes knockin at my door
I was like an angel by your side
But with me your heart did not abide
I wish you well with your life thus far
Even far beyond the brightest star
I hide and cry when this world gets tough
Ima strong woman when this fight gets rough
Im not gonna let this battle take me ova NO MORE
I am a fighter I can end this war
You have no idea what your look at when you see me
You think I am inhuman, beautiful is what you see
I ain't a false pretender and ain't gonna lie
But the way you treat me, my heart just died
I am human with feelings too
But you smacked me around with your tounge until I was black n blue
I could give you anotha chance but I can never forget
The day we met and it ended may be the day in life I will regret!

A REASON
You walked out of my life for a reason,
It maybe a lifetime or a season,
Whatever u need, I'll be there,
A shoulder to cry on,
Your burdens to bear,
I know you got me all wrong,
That is why I am singing this song,
I will always be praying for you
Wherever you may be, whatever you do
For God brings people into our lives sometimes
Arms to hold onto when we need the sun shine
A helping hand in times of need
A friend, a lover a depender indeed
You may fall by the fear of the unknown
You maybe gruntled in life as we moan
But I will be the catcher when you fall,
I will be there to protect you
Like a wall
So you may be in my life for a while
Never doubt the sun dial
When you call out my name
I'll hope you will be a friend to me also, all the same

My BLEEDING TAINTED HEART
My bleeding tainted heart has ruined me forever
But your still in my memory forever
A bleeding heart dripping full of sorrow
Like I can' t even face tomorrow
It drips and drips all day long,
It can't even sing a happy song,
Ur love was poison to my heart
Right till the end and from the very start
I feel me slowly slipping away,
Right till this very day
Until my last breath be heard
Please listen to these words
You caused me pain in my life
Your words to me, I felt the strife,
Like a slit to the wrist with a knife
No more am I your wife
Leave me in peace now and my bleeding heart
It is now time for me to make a new start

Yachts Sailing by
Like eagles on the sea as they fly
On a Sunny afternoon as seagulls sing
As a pattern they make in the skies like a ring
As photographers by the shore they snap
Trying to get the best picture while others tak a nap
Children fighting and playing with their kites
Playing by day and sleeping by nite
Babies building sand castles in the sand,
A group of people by pier playing -a Jazz band
The smell of Candy heart fill the air,
As two lovers fall for at eachothers stare
What a beautiful Sunny Saturday this turning out to be
It surely is magical resting by the sea

Gone Twice Now
Even amoungst my tears I smile,
I will never love you for just a while,
My only way to reach you is speaking through God above,
He knows about this love
I know you hate me and that is the way it will be
I know u maybe with others and that is alright you see
You forgot me a long time now
Forced me to leave, how?
Life has a meaning, a purpose, a reason
I was in your life only for a season
But I will never forget you in this life-time still
Till the day I die this is my will
I wish you well, along lifes path,
May he never send you toils or wrath,
May you know u'll always have a friend in me
Cuz right now I think that is they way life is meant to be.
Farewell not forever, as one day our paths may cross,
Lovers dream is forever our loss

BROKEN HEARTS NEVER DIE
You wonder where life has gone,
Wondering where you belong,
I can feel you near me,
Your face through the glass I can see
I will keep your memory with me forever
I will never leave you never
I will keep your embrace wrapped around me like a shield
Right until the end of time
I will follow you where you are, wherever you may be
It is only your love I see,
I will never make it without you
Life has it's up's and down's when I am feeling blue
I remember you
Your bring that smile back on my face,
Without you my tears make a trace,
Our hearts beating on through time
Forever my love you will be mine.

Insecure
Sometimes in life we have to put our heart on the line
Because to go through life without love would seem such a crime
Sometime we win sometimes we loose
But if we do not try in life we can not choose
Hapiness is a part of everyones dream
Flowing from one to another on loves stream
But do not be insecure from a significant other
Do not feel hate from your sisters and brothers
But make life better for yourself
Make your own happiness and true wealth
Move on from the past and heal ur heart
Make a new beginning and a new start
We fear we may loose in life
But if we don't try we may end up in strife
In the long run only hurting yourself
And it is a danger to ones true health
So begins each day with positivity n ur heart
Not keeping true love far apart

Lesson Learned
Sometimes people can be cruel
And you end up feeling like a fool
Life comes so easy to others at your own risk
And we end up loosing a part of ourselves if we insist?
But what we call that is a lesson learned
If we only knew before we got burned
That to learn a lesson is to benefit ones self
Then we can suceed with another blow at true wealth
I won't hate on haters out there
Because they are the ones that truely don't care
Yes life is not always fair
Life looks back at you with an ugly stare
But that is a lesson learned
And yet if we had not been burned
We would not be strong enough for this fight
So don't worry and just hold on tight
For the stronger you are one day you will smile
And later down the line everything will seem worthwhile
