New Start

New Start

Starting over can be hard to do

But leaving our past in the past we can begin our lives anew

Take a step forward and together we can climb

Until we reach the top and hopefully get it right this time

You admitted your mistakes and I have been wrong too

But I think that this is fate and I belong with you

I'm sorry that it took so long for me to finally see

But in my heart I truly believe that we are meant to be

So I promise I will try my very best to prove that this is real

To open up and give my all to show you how I feel

Believe

Believe

When darkness blankets the sky and your head rests on a pillow

Your mind being freed from the worries and stress of the day

Then close your eyes to a whole new window

Of what tomorrow may bring your way

All your hopes and dreams of the future and what is to come

To take the path less traveled and follow your heart

Staying true to yourself is a good rule of thumb

And also a good way to start

Living life with regret is so easy to do

Just keep your chin up and your head held high

Live your life and keep believing in you

And you will be able to reach the sky

My Prayer

My Prayer

How much time do we really have here

It could all end tomorrow and if not every day it draws nearer

We shouldn't have time to hold a grudge

And always try to forgive and never judge

Treat people the way you want to be treated

Live life to the fullest and know you've succeeded

Teach your children to live and love life

To stand and be strong through their times of strife

Teach them to respect themselves and others 

And never look down on those we call our brothers

We should all try to give more and not turn to greed 

Because there are so many less fortunate who do not want but need

So please be thankful for what you've been blessed

Because someday we are all going to be put to the test

Ode To Who?

Ode To Who?

I'm so confused

How should I feel?

I really like you

But is this real?

Am I ready to test 

This so called fate?

I can't believe in love

And don't believe in hate.

Crushed till nothing's left

And completely torn apart,

This is what happened 

When I gave away my heart.

Brick after brick,

Rebuilding the wall that fell.

To protect what I have left.

My heart a prisoner in a cell.

Now my walls are up,

Here's a rope for you.

If you think you care, start climbing.

Because your never breaking through.

It's Me

It's Me

I cry to sleep

Almost every night

In my heart

I feel something's not right

To you I say

Whomever you are

Carry me away

Some place very far

I have not found you

Although I've tried

Now I give up

My heart has died

My heart's been broken

Too many times before

Now only my kids

I shall forever adore

I see that I'm ugly

I know that I'm fat

But I also know

There's more to me than that

I'm a very good person

And a damn good friend

So it's not what you look like

That counts in the end

I really don't care 

If you don't agree

It's your loss, not mine

If that's not what you see

by Paula Renier

Hurt

Hurt

I am always thinking

Of how it would be

If only you would

Be there for me

You always ignore me

And make me feel bad

It hurts me so much

And makes me feel sad

I try to tell you

How much I miss you

But like a child

You don't listen to

Anything I say

Goes through one ear and out the other

I tell you how I feel

You just stare at me and mutter

You'll never understand 

The pain you've caused me

There is a lot more to me

Than what you see

And you'll never know 

Just what you've lost

But unfortunately it's me

Who's paying the cost
