WHY?

When I look in the mirror
I hate what I see,
My Husband sees what I cant,
Why cant I love me?
Why do I stress over weight?
Cant I just accept me?
Why cant I see what my husband sees?
Why cant I just be?
I push away the love
so he cant see what I see
no matter what how I look
he just loves me
Why cant I just be?

FREE CHOICE
It was summer one year
I was 17, had no fear
My hormones were high
I had a crush on this guy
My father had told me
dont be a fast girl
life is too precious
this guy made my head twirl
I got really scared
this was my first time
he said that he loved me
I said ok, fine
As summer had ended
and i came home for school
I cried some time later
I broke my dad's rule...

this poem was written by me in honor of my nephew Mark 1986-2003

AN ODE TO MARK

God Looked around and said to himself
"It’s time to get us an angel"
He talked to the saints with a gleam in his eyes
And said "I think I see an angel"
The place god was standing
was on top of a landing
in a house that filled up with sorrow
He looked at this boy and said full of joy
my angel will come by tomorrow...

My poetry is not like others. It is how I vent my frustration fears and sadness and humor. If you want to read pretty romantic stuff, this is not the place LOL. These poems and other writings are from years ago and as close as months ago

Some are just short assignments from an MSN groupe I belong to. Someone would give us a subject and we had to write on that theme. Some are real and some are fake
