16 GOING ON 104

When I heard the words I wanted to cry.
My heart fell to my stomach.
I thought I would die.
For my life would never soar.
I was now 16 going on 104.

With a snap of a picture
my whole life turned around.
The word cancer took over and
threw my heart to the ground.
I felt as though life had slammed the door and
I was 16 but felt 104.

My mind and my body ached deeply with pain.
I cried out for help. My tears fell like rain.
There were times I thought I could take no
more.
I was 16 but now 104.

Every day that I suffered someone
was always there,
in my heart or in flesh to let me know that they
cared.
the words of comfort were loud as a roar
and they helped me
as I weent from 16 to 104.

So if someone would ask
I would honestly say,
if I could plan my life
I would plan it the same way.
And all the physical pain
could never compare to the friendships
I've gained in this emotional affair.
So in this poem I let my heart pour,
for I am not only 16 but also 104.

Lyssa

Why can't I
Stop the crying?
Or maybe
Stop the lying (to myself)?

I know that you are gone
But the time
Marches on
Until I can't remember your face

Every now and then
I start to write you a letter
But then it sounds stupid
I know that I could do much better

In my heart there is a void
That only you can fill
And when we will meet again
Will only be some God's will

Sometimes I hang my head
Down to cry
To read all your notes
And wonder why

So as I close this note
And send it up above
I want you to know
That I forge my name with love

About 3 years ago
my life went down hill,
and the ladder of health,
I'm climbing still.
 
My heart and my soul
were torn at the seams,
And this they were shattered,
my hopes and my dreams.
 
It seemed it only pured for my,
and it did not rain.
And then it was that I knew,
my life would never be the same.
 
For a good friend
left me one day.
I was shocked, and frightened,
I didn't know what to say.
 
She was sick,
then healthy once more.
then death came knocking
at her front door.
 
The doctors said
"there's nothing we can do"
and my good friend
would leave us soon.
 
Then the day came
she was only 12 years old.
She was young and fragile,
but brave and bold.
 
She stared death and pain
right in the face.
She fought her battle
she stood her place.
 
She fought hard and strong
with a smile and a grin.
She fought her battle,
she fought to win.
 
But she fought, not only
for herself.
She fought for others
in her failing health.
 
And with her family,
and her friends.
Tracy fought
until the end.
 
And then, on that
dark and sadened night,
my dear friend
gave up her fight.
 
In the arms of her mother
and the comfort of her home
she left on another journey
but she was not alone.
 
She had the love of many hearts
to guide her on her way
and she still has that love
to this very day.
 
So Tracy if you hear this,
and I hope you do
everyone down here
really misses you.
 
In memory of Tracy Dawn Roberts
May 1, 1984-March 17,1997

TORN PANTS

I struggle can’t get my god damn pants on
I love these Pants.
How long has it been since I’ve worn these a year maybe
two.
I look down at their torn from when I had been climbing.
I can’t do anything but cry for my beloved pants.
I fall into the bass now everything is crazy.
Nothing makes sense why am I here what can I do?
I pray
Please god make it better this is a stupid fight what is it for?
I have no sight of reason. I pray for it to end
What does it mean when it’s over?
What happens I don’t know if I can imagine it when it’s over.
Am I supposed to die just yet?
Am I ready?
Where do I go I can’t see a fucking light.
No help all I can do is be upset, angry and mad at myself.
Maybe I’m just blind to the stupid light.
WHY?

Stop crying you Moron

Sit here, not understanding feelings of BLAH!
Bitch slapped down to the flaming depths of hell.
Shaking in a puddle of my own urine.
Spear, pointed laughs stab at my heart.
Shut up you sissy it’s only a joke!
They’ll be tasting my boot leather soon enough.
Me and my other half just dance around the camp fire now.
Pick up my bike and ride off into the sunset.

Back in my Seat

Back in my seat maxin and relaxin
Slightly confused seeing how I was out of the theatre for a
while
But the movies beginning to make sense.
I’m sitting in a seat far way from my friends and family,
And not just far but also it’s the wrong seat this is not the
seat I had originally started in.
The music in my head isn’t playing a familiar tune; it’s not a
song I recognize
But I enjoy it I think maybe if I try I could learn to love this
Music.

Be Happy

In the end we're all beavers with anal capabilities
Do not laugh for you do not know where I have been
You've never fought my war
Don't be angry with me for "Belittling you"
You have never seen the pitch black that covered
My soul when I was in hell burning for the devils
entertainment.
Walk in my feet and you'll hurt your shoes
So just be quiet & "ENJOY THE
SILENCE"
