Sue's poems..
Why do you do it?
I struggle to understand you but at least I try
Just not too long ago I couldn't have cared less about you
but everything is different now.
Now, I want you to do the best you can
Why do u put yourself in harms way?
You may think it's fun and that I am simply ignorant
Trust me, I know that nothing good can come of it!
I have seen it all to much.
I want so bad for you to stop
It's hard yes, but impossible? No.
All of a sudden, I want to protect you from
all of the hurt of the world
But the reality is, that I am not your protector
but rather a supporter. I can only encourage you.
Only you can make the right decisions.
Just remember the next time you go out,
don't make me stand next to our casket,
as you are lowered into the ground.
What happened to yesterday?
What happened to yesterday when we were so close?
When you didn't mind talking to me,
in fact, you seemed to enjoy it.
Unfortunately, time as slipped away, and things changed
You were new, different.
I wasn't new, but different.
We had so much in common
We promised to be best friends, forever
But what happened to yesterday?
Are you too good to socialize with the people who loved you
When no one else did?
Now everyone loves you, you're the big man on campus,
but it seems to me to all be a big show.
So, what happened to yesterday? Today.
I Am a Person
I am a person like you
I have feelings, dreams, crushes, desires
So what makes you so different from I?
Is it your looks, your talents?
Somehow, that's the misconception you've got
But some one didn't tell you, or you just didn't understand
It's not what you look like, or who you know
It's about you, the real you
The real me, I have many dreams
Some of them possibly similar to yours
I have faults, but I have my strenghts
I am a person, just like you
No title
My heart is full of sickness
When you were here, you filled an
empty spot in my heart.
But the room has gone dark
no light shall appear
The darkness of night scares me
but the darkness of lonliness scares me more.
Dreams
Dreams, sometimes they're good, sometimes they're bad,
sometimes they're happy, sometimes they're sad,
and yet others seem to be sent from hell, as an omen
of what darkness lies ahead.
My dreams plague me of death and despair.
So Im left wondering what will happen, and when?
Will the streets soon be filled with people running,
trying to escape the darkness,
or will I be the only one to notice?
Something isnt right, its just not the same
I havent felt this scared since I was a little girl
Are my fears irrational?
My responsibility left undone because of my pre-occupation
I feel like at any moment the world as I know it will
slip out from under me, and I will be left falling,
into an endless parallel universe.
Im tired of putting on a happy face
and trying to please everyone
Worst of all, I cant seem to please myself
Seasons of change
The winds shift, things change
people move on.
They are not, in their hearts, saddened,
for they will always have the memories
The happy, and the sad
The good times and the bad,
but no matter what, we all know that
at some time, we have to move on
Sure, its hard, but you can only live in today
not yesterday.
All good things must end, but so must all bad.
What he does to me
When Im around him, my sadness turns to happiness
The stars shine brigher and everything seems possible
with him, everyday is filled with a new surprise
and with him, its not a facade, its really me
I feel like all of the fireworks in the world are going off
and its more spectacular then all the shows on the Forth of July
I want him to love me for my passion,
My passion for life, passion for others, passion for music
And so many more things.
And my passion for him.
What could have been
I could have been yours,
but you chose not to be mine.
You dropped me like dirty clothes, old trash.
You could have loved me,
I could have loved you,
But you chose not to.
You could have been the one I laugh with,
The one I cry with.
You could have been the one I dance
All night with to no music
To share my dreams with.
You could have been the one I sat under
The stars for hours with, and talked about absolutely nothing.
I thought you could have been the one,
But apparently I was wrong, someone else got there first.
Longing
Longing to have what you know you cant.
Whose heart do you choose, your own or someone else's?
Potential happiness, or loyalty?
My brain whirls round and round,
What do I do? Who do I choose?
The world is spinning, make it stop!
Suddenly it does, and I fall, and
I keep falling.
I know this place that I land in, a deep, dark hole.
Ive climbed these steps before, and Im sure I will
Do it again.
It will take some time, time Im no so
Sure I want to use again just to
Continually fall back down.
Wouldnt It Be Nice?
Wouldnt it be nice if for all of our lives, we oculd shelter ourselves and not have worries?
Wouldnt it be nice if Love wasnt so complicated?
Wouldnt it be nice if the people we love, never leave us?
Wouldnt it be nice if we could always get to say "good-bye"
Wouldnt it be nice if things didnt get so complicated between people that they couldnt even take anymore?
Wouldnt it be nice if we didnt have to watch people suffer?
Wouldnt it be nice if we always had the answers to the toughest quesitons?
Wouldnt it be nice if all good things didnt have to end?
Wouldnt it be nice if everyone could get along and not judge
Wouldnt it be nice if you could always comfort the friend that needs it?
Wouldnt it be nice if we could see things from other people point of view?
Wouldnt it be nice if you could make someone see what they're doing to themselves?
Wouldnt it be nice if we could understand all of our emotions?
Wouldnt it be nice if we always knew what to do?
Wouldnt it be nice if hearts didnt break so easily?
Wouldnt it be nice if people wouldnt close themselves off to you?
