Tears fall from her eyes
The blade slides down her wrist
It does not hurt
Feel no pain
Just the tears sliding down her face
thought She was loved
Now, just feel like a disgrace
Wanting to die
Screw this life
And say “Good-Bye”
wanting to know love
Not anymore pain
But know nothing
Than what is written above
Love, I know not
Pain, I know very well
See what is in my eyes
Pain is, can you not tell?
To many tears I have cried
Too much pain, I still feel
I felt I had a real family
And what I thought were true friends
Losing my family
I swore I’d fight until it ends
Having them back
It feels all right
The fight I fought
Was blown out the way
To fight for them all
When they all turned on me
I still love them all
Thought they still loved me
But I do not know
Why fight for them all?
Why not let them go?
Because my love for them
Is forever true
And always will be
No matter what they put me through
What to do?
How to handle when they turn on you?
Will fighting for them and not giving in,
Will that help me get through?
Knowing that you tried
That is all good
But the tears that were cried
Wish you never would
Because so many tears
Could not eat or sleep
When your heart is pierced
Trying to move on
Trying to be strong
I know it is not easy
When your loved ones are gone
The blood seeps out
Want the emotional pain to end
All blood runs about
It’s all good, it’s all okay
Because you can make it through
You usually do anyway
Drop the razor, or other sharp blade
As the pain inside again fades
You clean up and go to sleep
But the pain comes back
Cut again on a new day
What the hell?
Is your life cursed?
Is your pain by a spell?
Just want to die
Just want life to fade
Can you not tell why?
Good-bye to my family and friends
This is how to stop the pain
This is how my life ends.
Good bye to you
Good bye to this love
Hello to my Lord Jesus
Hello to beautiful things above
Good bye to foolish pain
Good bye to worldly suffering
Hello to happiness and peace
Hello to my Father God again
Only He puts your pain at ease
Only He makes you happy
Turn from your wicked ways
Look in a different direction
Look at happier days
You can hide things
From only those around
But not from our God
Who watches from above the ground
For our God, He sees all
Nothing misses His eyes
He sees us in pain
And waits for us to call
Jesus wants us all to know
Jesus wants us all to see
That He died for everyone
He even died for you and me.
It’s in the Lord
And in the water
That opens the heart
And clears the mind
Takes away the pain
By closing the blinds
Lord, You are there
You know I am scared
Feeling sad and alone
With no where to turn
But I’m not on my own
I have so much to learn
I know You can heal me
But I’m to far from Thee
Going the easy way
Which is the wrong path
I’m looking all around lost
Trying to calm down and relax
Did I know all along,
I was far from Your hand?
I am not sure now
But I have disobeyed your commands
Lead me home, now
Lead me home, again
Keep me there somehow
I never again want to stray
Time to follow my Lord
Only He knows the way.
Do not trust anyone
Not your family or your friends
Those that seem closest to you
Will turn on you in the end
Don’t trust strangers or your best friend
You can’t even trust your parents
Who won’t hesitate to turn you in
My stepfather abandoned my family
He left us all
My two sisters and my mom
For two months, he didn’t call
A few years go by, before he drops a bomb
He was engaged, I was so mad
I remember starting to cry
I just felt hatred and betrayed
Just want to know why
Why he hurt us all
Today, it still makes me cry
But now I’m sixteen and moving on
One day, I will say “Good-Bye”
Good-Bye to my past
Good-Bye to life here
I won’t allow the pain to last
I will move on and let it all go
It all takes time and will go by slow
I will make it through, I can do it, I know
Everyone will be able to see
How I change when I grow up
When I grow up to be somebody
I will show them all what I can do
And what I can be by being me.
Family, friends, love, life
Family may hate you
Friends will betray you
Love can come chilling
But ends up killing
Life isn’t so thrilling
All parts of life
All may seem nice
All will stab you
With the sharpest knife
All you’ll go through
All won’t like you
And all play hard
So you just remember
You’re choosing your card
Just be very careful
Promise to be careful
With what you choose
Can’t always be strong
Won’t always go wrong
Pain doesn’t always last
But can be difficult
Looking into your past
Think hard before choosing
Just thinking once more
Could perhaps save you
From danger in store
Remember to look out
Before opening any door
Family may hate you
Friends will betray you
Love can come chilling
But ends up killing
Life isn’t so thrilling.
To Sean (This is on you)
If you look, would you care?
If you stared, will I be there?
Before you reach out
Before you try
I’ve got two words for you
“Good-Bye”
Good bye to you
Good bye to your pain
Because I died
While living yet again
You said you loved me
You said you would care
I turn around
You are the one not there
I feel the wind
Cold and hard in my face
I feel my own tears
I feel like a disgrace
I sunk so low
With not much love to go
I could not move on
For the fact
I swore all hope was gone
I refuse to live
I refuse to die
I refuse to breathe
He’s the reason why
Why suicide is sweet
Why blood is so beautiful
To you and to me
Why pain is high
Men are always the reason why.
Written by a long lost friend,
Taralin Dickerman
You go out of your way
For every one else around you
And when another gets praised
You stand down like a man has too
I love you for so many reasons
And in a fatherly way
But I believe you deserve honor sometimes
On a piece of paper or trophy
Something that sticks and stays
You do what you do
Not for money or gratitude
But because of your conscience
And because of your open heart
God’s praise is in heaven
That praise could be near
Or could be very far a part
So for now I thought you should know
We all love you
You are a great man
And we are giving you honor and praise
Your family here, we all applause
We all smile and stand
Because we were all blessed
With such a wonderful Godly man
You have touched many lives
Opened so many hearts
I think you deserve this blessing
With growing children and a loving wife
Working four jobs, raising a family, and paying bills
You still manage to sleep at night
Smile in the morning
And put a huge light in others lives
Look at the faces you see everyday
Everything you do for us or around us
Sheds a great Godly light.
To My Best Friend's Pop
David Dresser
Another angel in the sky
A child, only seven
His parents had to say “good-bye”
Mourn as he goes to heaven
His pictures are everywhere
He is missed everyday
His memories are still there
In our hearts and minds, all the way
It is impossible to forget
Not letting go all these years
We have not let go yet
There is still lots of pain and tears
You are in our minds all the time
We believe you hear our prayers
To Joshua, a little boy
Our angel in the sky
This is your loved ones
That miss you and did not see you
In your coffin as you lie
But one day, we will meet again
Until then, we all still cry
We know you smile upon us here
Maybe you can help us smile
Maybe the day we meet again is near.
Dedicated In Beloved Memory of
Joshua Michael Morris
December 12, 1986- June 12, 1994
Waiting for October
To come home to me
Praying for him day and night
Here at home
He has a family
My soldier is in war
Fighting for his life
And for his country
Waiting for a letter
Or for a phone call
To know he is well
And not in danger at all
So many soldiers away
Families missing them everyday
Cry for their lives to make it through
Being a soldier is not all they do
Some are fathers, husbands, and sons
Those soldiers left behind
We will never forget you
See you in October
The last words he said
My soldier said “good-bye”
Then the phone line went dead
See you in October
Baby I’m waiting on you
You are a grown a man, an Army soldier
This you can make it through
Waiting for October
Waiting for you
Waiting for my soldier
This you can make it through
Waiting for October
I love you, too
See you in October.
A crazy old man
No brains, but a big heart
He has a few demands
But we will never be far a part
He is a brother, an uncle, and a dad
He can funny and he can be mean
But things never get that bad
But inside he means so much more
Our emotions are hidden
But you must look deep in to our core
I love you more than many
It’s ok that we fight
Fighting makes us stronger
If anyone one else hurt you
He would be killed that night
You can b stubborn, you are old
We are both Bakers’ by blood
All Bakers’ are stubborn I am old
To explain you to others
To explain my love for you
A man is my life
Who loves me a lot too
He makes me laugh and cry
Even though I am growing up
He is always close by
He has no teeth
He is quiet wide
But full of life
Full of tales, laughs, and cries
I will love him forever
Even when he becomes one
Of those crazy angels in the sky
The width if his belly
Is the width of his heart
I will love him forever
We will never be far apart
He will live to be one hundred
That is what I say
The most important man in my life
That man is my Uncle Ray.
Have you ever seen what these people do?
Risking their own lives
To save people like me and you
Putting on masks, hats, and heavy coats
Running through huge fires
Running through thick clouds of smoke
Firefighters, these brave people die everyday
Maybe not in your home town
But all across the country
In the most horrible ways
The ones we wave to on trucks all the time
Might a few hours later
Be saying good bye
Giving up their families
That is one big job, you see
Leaving their loved ones behind
To save a stranger, the next somebody
Give firefighters lots of praise
These soldiers dying for others
Here in the USA
Going out for one shift
Children and spouses must pray
Firefighters we wave to all the time
One day the life they are saving
Could be your life or mine.
To those who read this should know my Uncle encouraged me to write this poem. Every word came from my heart to those brave enough to live through and die through fire.
You will not believe
Where I went
And what I did today
I went to Easton’s Beach
I went to talk to God
Walked through the sand to pray
Tears came to my eyes
Memories of the past
The good times of laughter
That now causes me to cry
I asked God
For one whole shell
To say you were coming home
Safe, alive, and well
What I found
Was a hundred whole
I picked up eight
Of those closest around
I took off my socks and shoes
Rolled up my pants
Went in to the water
Rinsed off the shells
The waves took away my blues
I thought for awhile
What the answer could mean
I realized how many others
Were wanted home too
Each shell was a soldier
Broken or whole
Many would live
Many would die
War is very cold
Only God decides
Who comes back
Who goes to Heaven
Who goes home
No one here on Earth
Gets that gift
Or curse to know
We all must pray
For each soldier, every day
Families will cry
Friends must say “good-bye”
When a soldier
Meets his or her end
Son or daughter
Husband or wife
Soldiers fighting for our freedom
Dying to protect our lives
I thought of only Ivan and you
Not realizing all soldiers
All there are wanted home too
The only thing I can do
Is pray for each one
Even though I want you.
This is dedicated to two soldiers that are dear friends of mine.
