In this world, amazing
I listen to my heart,
and fly with my soul.
Everything is wonderful
I am in love.
I look into my memory.
As I look into my memory,
I see times amazing
Times of love
Times I should have listened to my heart
Sometimes it's wonderful
Sometimes it's without soul.
I listen to my soul
Lost in memory
Looking at times, wonderful
And worlds amazing
In the depths of my heart
To the truth of love.
The blindness of love
Covers up my soul
I ignore my heart
Forget my memory
He is amazing
He is wonderful.
Caught in these times wonderful
blinded by love
Everything gone that was once amazing
I can't hear my soul
I don't search for answers in my memory
I have lost my heart
Oh, what a beautiful heart
Oh, the emotions wonderful
Oh, what's in my found memory
I have a new love
A higher flying soul
It is once again amazing
Oh, how amazing
To find new love
To soar with a new soul.

I am what you desire most,
the burn of hope when all else is gone,
the ache in your heart at first sight,
a reason to take a life.
I am the burning desire,
when you are left alone,
a once-in-a-lifetime chance at happiness,
and will keep you happy as long as you live.
I am a glowing everlasting flame,
in a once dark and dreary heart,
bright and vibrant streams of color,
in a black and white boring life,
warmth in the cold, blue winter,
and ice in the flame.
Nurture me and be true,
but do not be blinded by me.
I am what I am. Listen to my prayer.

"It will be a boy." the doctors say
She denied to give them glory
always fighting authority
"She'll never be good at math."
her MEAP tests show different
"You can be what you want to be,
as long as I have a say in it."
Why are we alone,
in a room full of people?
Why are we underestimated?
aren't we all God's people?

My soul soars
With wonderful wackiness
it crazily careens over walls
and low ledges.
I'm amazingly active
dizzily dumb and
sillily stupid.
Love lifts me and
I sail softly to an
unexplored shaggy shore.

I Don't Understand...
How bubblegum works
What nail polish is
Why, when it comes to clothes, less is more
But most of all...
Why people start drugs
How stereotypes got started
How America can run out of jobs
Why boys are jerks
What I understand the most is
The beauty of nature
My bestfriends
My geometry homework
The art of singing
(This poem is published in a book entitled A Celebration of Young Poets Michigan Fall 2004)
Remember me always and never forget
For you won’t be able to handle that yet.
For though I’m not with you, I’ll be close to your heart,
My love for you is just at the start.
Though you’ll never know what’s around the next bend,
This race we call life is not close to the end.
I will always be with you, by side or in heart,
And while we are living we will never part.
A dead wood outlined in evergreens
the sun just peeking over the their tops
Making the sky shades of blues and reds
small lines of purple clouds float
Like a boat in a halcyon ocean
winter has come and gone
Leaving my world cool and bitter
but as summer approaches
It’s slowly warming.
Days go by way to fast
how I wish that they would last
It seems like it was just yesterday
all I worried about was the word of the day
Now the years have flown to the past
now I worry about what school is the best
High school is almost over
all our goodbyes are being said
Now we have to be women and men
A bird flits,
through the evergreen trees.
Something moves,
through the grass and dead leaves.
A bird chirps, a woodpecker pecks,
a morning dove coos, and an owl who who’s.
The sun is setting, the breeze is cool,
nature in its more beautiful form,
Everyday before night this is its norm.
(I wrote this for my nephew to give to his crush)
My love will grow
Like a fire burns
To be close to you
My heart yearns
Tell me why
It is not my turn
Tell what I’ve done wrong
So that I may learn
I could, by no means,
Make you cry
I would rather
Wipe the tears from your eye
There will be
Just you and me
When I see your face
Full of beauty and grace
My stomach gains butterflies
And when we lock eyes
Magic fills the room
And makes me wish
I was your groom
If you share these feelings well
You would be smart and tell
Because no matter what they say
I love you every day.
Fake! Everything is Fake.
Fake smiles on Fake faces.
Fake attitudes and Fake feelings.
everything anyone does is to please others.
The clothes they wear, the makeup,
the way they wear their hair,
Even their feelings and looks they give,
all are Fake.
Even being yourself is Fake.
Fake friends, Fake enemies,
Fake love, Fake hate,
this, is a Fake existence.
Someone who will listen to you raving
about bad grades, bad teachers, and bad people.
Will talk to or take a picture of
your crush when you’re too scared to.
Will talk you out of bad things
and into good ones.
Will stand by you when someone is threatening
you, your beliefs, or your reputation.
Will give up part of their food, even if they are starving,
because you lost your lunch money.
Will be on your side even if they don’t
agree with what your fighting for.
Will listen to what you say even if they’ve heard
so much about that topic, they’re going crazy.
Even when you’re arguing, will disclaim
any bad rumors they hear about you.
I am lucky to have not one but two of such friends
and they are a blessing from the lord above.
fighting and bickering
I’m sick of it all
someone says something
And there they all go
best friends are at each others throats
Raised voices and violent threats
a simple problem
Is suddenly huge
this argument lasts
For more than it should
why can’t it be over
Like I hope it would
it’ll be different tomorrow
But today it just sucks.
I cried again for you today,
I know it’s been four months or more.
I heard your song again today,
I’ve heard it so many times before.
I saw your face again today,
In a cloud passing o’er.
I heard your voice again today,
In a song we sang in choir.
I thought you were here again today,
But I know that you are gone.
A friend has died,
They’ve gone away.
We’ll ne’er see him another day,
But which is worse
To live or die,
When to live means
You say goodbye.
When faraway you live again,
And never see your friends again.
So I ask you through this strife,
To lose to death or
Lose to life.
Which is worse,
I ask you now.
To find the answer,
I know not how.
And the question beyond compare
Try to answer if you dare.
Which is worse,
In your life,
To lose to death
Or lose to life?
