I AmWhen you are cryingI Am3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
I am sobbing
When you ache
I am hurting
When you break inside
I shatter all over
When you reach out
I am holding you
When you are falling
I am lifting you up
I feel your hurt
I know your pain
How it is to stand in the rain
I understand your anger
I know the feeling
I know what it cost
I cry with you
the tears that fall
will not fall alone
I will hold you
when you fall
I will rock you
when you cry
I am here
I am yours
I won't let you go
I am
I am
I won't forget you
I'll be here
For you because

I closed my locker, and glanced around at the kids in the hallway. I heard their whispers as they stared after her.
Words of hate and cold.
It was my first day at this school. I was a military brat, and I had moved. Again. So I was just settling in and getting to know who was who. I knew who the popular kids were, and who weren't. I wasn't, that much I knew, and I never would be.
I gazed after her, and tried to see why they were calling her what they were. She had black clothes on. All black. No exception. Her t-shirt was tight around her, drawing out everything in her body, drawing all the boy's atten

is letting go
saying goodbye
and crying alone
what hurts the most
is watching them go
walking away
into the unknown
let go
let go
to be free
I must let go
I cannot win
but I cannot lose
a broken soul, a bleeding heart
which must I choose
I struggle
but cannot be free
a spider caught
in its own web
set me free
I need to breathe
must you break me down
let go just let go
I hear the fun
but I turn away
I must forget
what there was had
but the tears
burn inside
I can't let them go
to release this tide
what hurts the most
is saying goodbye
letting go
and crying alone
InvisibleIf I were invisibleInvisible2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
would you notice that I was gone?
If I were invisible
would you care?
Perhaps I don't need to be invisible
You look through me as it is
as if I were never there.
Perhaps I don't need to be invisible
no one sees me as I am
but who I pretend to be.
If I were invisible
would things change?
If I were invisible
would I be alone?
Or maybe if I were invisible
you would join me
maybe
we could be together.

TrustWhat is trust?Trust3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
I don't know
I've never been told
I just wandered around here
In the dark
Cold
I've stumbled sometimes
Met the ground
On my hands, knees
But then I felt you
Touch my shoulder
Turn me around
What is trust?
I asked
You said
Trust is walking
Back
Into the dark
Blind
But believing who is with you
Knows the way
That they'll take care of you
Watch over you
Lead you into the light
But can I trust?
I asked
You said
"Yes you will learn,
If you follow me."

I am sitting here
Sitting in the darkness
I see glimmers of light
glimmers of hope
I feel Your breeze
Speak to me
Your water of life
Refreshes me
The stars above
the waters below
You holding me
Where else could I go?
You have met me here
In this place of need
It's in Your Arms
I find Your Peace
Lord keep me here
I want to stay
Right by You

and disillusioned
So tell me
Will this cut
be enough for you?
will it hurt you like it hurt me?
Perhaps now you will see
the truth
as I lie here
my breath fading
Take it from me
it's not so easy
to live with your hate
your silent lies
maybe you'll learn
as you taste my blood
to look beyond yourself
to know pain is alive
don't forget me
maybe you already have
all I know is
I'll be free from you this night.
Does Anybody Hear Her? part 2One kid said, "Don't mess with her man – what's your name? You're new here right the new military kid they were talking about? Anyway, don't mess with her. It won't do you any good, OK? She's bad news man." he leaned a little closer, as if he had a secret to tell me. "She's a witch, I tell you." he made a cutting motion across his throat. "If you get her mad, she can get rid of you, just like that. Seriously man, I mean it. Last year, a guy – you know – and then he totally took her down and he ended up sick and almost dead. It was her. He was the only guy that she really loved, and he hurt her, and she's never been the same. OfDoes Anybody Hear Her? part 23 years ago in Introductions & Chapters More Like This

the stormy ways go
We are pounded to the ground
we sink lower, but
we all learn to fly.
The sky seems far away
We reach, we look, it hides,
the stars, forever gone
We feel laden to the Earth, lost, but
we all learn to fly.
What springy joy revives
What dance fills your heart
The warmth of the stars, the smile of the wind
The freeness and gift of wings
when you learn to fly.

I joke

Will you see how

But when I look away

and I wonder what I've done.
They never tell me

Walk away
I search the day.
But I find no help.
Can you tell

Will you set me free?
Will you be honest?
Or will you close your eyes?
You wait in the night
You're careful with my heart
you care
you say

My hear can only
break so far.
so be careful
with the pieces that are left
or I will fade away.

My HeroI settled deeper into my black sweater, pulling my hood over my face, to hide it. I was in the local coffee shop, watching the people come and go, letting the grief hold unto me relentlessly.My Hero3 years ago in Short Stories More Like This
I heard so much talk about the Jonas Brothers, and Miley Cyrus. Maybe Jonny Depp, or Taylor Swift. Even once in awhile, Christian singers, like Casting Crowns, or Kutless. Or Hawk Nelson or Skillet. Maybe Josh Groban, or Michael Buble.
One word I heard that described them often was the word HERO.
Hero.
That word made me angry, and sometimes even the anger overwhelmed the grief, and I had to leave, before the anger left me, and became visible.
