Blink (A Poem)

In one blink everything was gone.
She stood alone in the doorway
wondering what went wrong.
She locks her fears away,
knowing her love will never decay.

Taking one step ahead
she knows she can never look back.
The past is the past,
although she will never forget. 

Losing him made her lose herself,
all that she had wanted to be. 
Glancing up at the ceiling,
she thinks to herself
where do I go from here?

Corny Boyband Lyrics

If I told you that I loved you
Would you walk away?
Forget those words I never got to say.
If I told you that I loved you
Would you... Run away?

All my life I wished
you were by my side.
But now I find reasons to run and hide.
I bump into you everyday,
I stutter, mouth doesn't know what to say.
So I just look at you and run away.

One day I was looking at you
From across the hall when
You came up to me to say
Are you OK?
My heart's a flutter,
My mind is a blur.
It feels like I'm on a cloud,
About to float away.
When you look at me
And say goodbye.

This was my chance to say,
How I feel about you.
Today was the day.
I take a breath in and
Say I am ok, just not in the presence of you.

She Will Soar (A Poem)

As she is walking through the
sharply bladed grass she
realizes she is alone.

The sky is blue
the sun is shining
but no one seems to be found.

Birds fly over the trees
strong and powerful
like she wishes she could be.
With no fear inside her
she will soar
be strong like she never was before

She has the world
at her fingertips.
No one can
stop her now,
she will be everything
she ever wanted and more.
 She will soar.

Destiny (A Poem)

Help! The young girl cried
As her attacker came closer
looking at her with a violent stare.
He moves closer and closer into her sight.
Fists go up he stands tall
grabbing her as she starts to fall.
She tries to run away only to see,
See that girl she wanted to be.
Within herself she finds her strength
To give all that she can take.
Never looking back she pushed him
with all her might and ran.
Ran away and never looked back.
Fearing only the worst she stayed silent.
No one would hear of this night.
This night where she conquered her fear
and became the hero of her own destiny.

Stand (A Poem)

I just want to be better
than who I was before.
As I walk through that open door
The light floods me.

I've made some mistakes,
Some have gone to far
But in the end these
Are the steps I leave behind me.
They are not straight,
Some I have taken to far
But each step is a journey to find
Where I belong.

I have delt with sadness, happiness and joy
But all these emotions have
made me strong.
Strong enough to not be afraid
Of who I am, but to embrace my true self.
I am not perfect, but I try.
I am not strong but you cannot
tell me otherwise.

With all that I have gone through
I feel like I am a brick wall
And cannot be torn down.
I will stand tall,
Even if I have nothing to stand for at all.
