Rain

I am #selfdestructive...

Rain


Rain, rain, go away
come back another day.
If you don't, I'm afraid,
I will take my life away...

I am the house built on sand
strategically placed by God's hand.
I beg and I plead against what I know must be.
I worry about the first drop and what it will do.
My next concern is the second drop which comes through.
I try not to think about how the wind will help.
I'm more concerned about what I'll do to myself.

Rain, rain, go away
come again another day.
If you don't, I'm afraid 
I will take my life away...

I am the house built on sand
strategically placed by God's hand.
I pray and I plead but I feel it all
inside I'm drowning, I won't survive the fall.
Before the rain takes my foundation and the wind blows me into the sea,
it'll start from withing, I'll begin crumbling.
I could survive the fall but I collapse upon myself.
I am my own worse enemy no one else.

Rain, rain, go away
come again another day.
If you don't, I'm afraid
I will take my life away...

I am the house, built on sand,
stretegically placed by God's hand.
I was built to survive my inevitable fall into the sea,
But I, I make my own destiny.

Rain, rain, go away
come back another day.
If you don't, I'm afraid,
I will take my life away...

My Lil' Story 'bout Love

I've loved and I've lost. My high school sweetheart who I loved and lost after not treating her right. I thought maybe one day I would be able to get that back. I stayed there for her when she needed me. I even did the unthinkable and talk to her when she lost her virginity. Though it was supposed to be me, I let it go and still loved her. I was even there for her as he mother was dying. I was there lending an ear and my experience and telling her the real. She needed to spend as much time with that woman as possible because she was never going to get to see her again. As we talked more and more she started telling me about the times when her so called new dude hit her. I told her I loved her, I apologized for my past. I told her and I meant I would do better. No, I never cheated but I was guilty of not showing her the love and affection she deserved. And it was because of that I felt she was where she was. I felt it was my fault that she was in the relationship she was in. W

Heaven's Sonnet 1

I needed to be happy and the only way I saw that happening was with my mother. The next seven poems are my attempt at writing a sonnet and creating a story of them. The story is about #suicide and was written when I was in a state of depression I know no one around me at the time could bring me out of. And I really didn't have the energy to try and get myself out of. I was a low place where I didn't care and really didn't want to live. But, I'd been told by my sister that I needed to find a reason. I needed to find a reason to go on, a reason to fight. My mother was my reason. So, in an effort to see her again, to paint an everlasting picture of her and where she is, I started the projects called Heaven's Sonnet and it turned out to be an effective suicide prevention project. This poem made me think about what I had and was willing to leave and give up. It also helped me explore what I felt in my heart my mother would want. Heaven's Sonnet 1 A small

Love

I haven't had a lot of luck with love in my life, so I don't write and haven't written many #poems about love. I felt that the inspiration always led to something dark and twisted, something depressing. But, being a writer, I decided to see if I could. And Love came out, this is the first love poem I've ever written... I hope you enjoy Love It is a feeling I barely understand,  She as my Girl and I her Boyfriend. I’d rather die with her than see another Sun set,  I as her Romeo and she my Juliet. I’d shout out my heart day out and day in,     With her as my woman and I as her man. If our feelings were breaking laws to the bloody end I’d ride,     Cause you are my Bonnie and I your Clyde. I’d give you the world and gladly my life,     I as your husband and you as my wife. I’d invoke a war and give up the world to destroy,     I as the Trojan and you my Helen of Troy. With each other our hearts will never grow weary or tired,     You as the oxygen and I a
