Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you
before you were born, I set you apart.
For I know the plans I have for you,
the plans to prosper and not to harm you,
to give you hope for the future.
I waited patiently for the Lord, he turned to me and heard my cry.
Go to the city of Chester and make disciples of young people.
Dont let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in life, in love, in faith and in purity.
He set our feet on a rock and gave us a firm place to stand,
but we turned from the Lord and ran.
The word of the Lord came to us for a second time,
Go the Chester and make
Why Raven chose to take the short cut home she didn't know but she was nearly there now, no time to turn back. She had a laugh at the party, made a few friends, it was good. At the thought of her party the image of Mark fluttered through her mind and a smile came to her lips. She enjoyed being with him. They had danced, drank, but mostly they just sat there in a quiet corner and just talked about anything and everything. Ex relationships, families even pets.
The time flew by and at 11:30pm they were reluctantly saying their "good-byes".
Mark went one way, Raven the other. She now wished she'd listened to her mum about wearing a coat, but in
You're over there. I'm here. Missing you
and it makes me blue
that I can't see you everyday,
or just say "Hey"
whenever I want to.
We will be reunited soon and I'll have a song
in my heart but after not long
at all we will be apart
again and my heart
will sink into despair.
I want you around to hold me,
I want you to be able to see
the love I have inside
of myself. I don't want to hide
it from you.
What I want to say is "I Love You",
just in case you never knew.
While you are away
from me I'll pray
that our love will mature and last.
Why did you stop feeling the same as me?
I thought our friendship was for eternity!
What ever happened to make you think
that you had to shrink
away from it and me?
What did I do to make you feel this way?
What hidden pain
have you got
that's burning red hot
inside you?
Is it your own opinion or those around you
to try to make me as blue
as you can? Don't you see what you've done?
It feels like you've got a gun
and shot me.
If that was your task you have succeeded.
And all it was I needed
was you. Was that too much to ask?
Now I will leave you alone and let you bask
in your fake glory.
You run around the corner but he has found you.
What are you going to do?
You make a silent scream
and you wish it was a dream
and that you can't wake up.
You try to hide but there's nowhere to go
and you beg yourself not to show
your fear to him. He lives to see pain
and when he sees it, he gains
his pleasure.
You start to shiver under his stare
and you don't think you can bare
another second of it. You need to run
but you know the race has just begun
between life and death.
You sit up straight in bed,
all the images of him running through your head.
You can't believe it wasn't real
because you were sure you could feel
hi
I feel like you've pulled my heart out and thrown it on the floor
But even after all of that I still want you more
My face is stained with tears
As I consolidate my fears
Even after all you've done
All I can remember is the fun
I love Him but he doesn't feel the same,
No one can ever understand the pain
People say you like me, I'm not so sure
'Coz everytime you back away there's me that's wanting more
Why do I feel this way when I know the feelings aren't returned?
I must be a fool because I'm going to get burned
Why do I feel this way? I guess I'll never know
But I am really going to miss you when you go
Stop right there! C
You people inspire me to write.
It may be wrong, it may be right.
Deal with it!
Some for good like love and caring,
others annoyance and despairing.
People I care about hurt me the most
and at this some of you will boast
about how well you are succeeding
in the bleeding
of my heart
which bares the part
of keeping what I have left alive
so that I am not deprived
on what the rest of me has lost
out on at a cost
of me losing the vital things
like playing on the swings
as a child.
People I see hurting others because of colour, gender, race
makes my heart begin to pace.
There is no point, or is there
a hidden message somew
I sit surrounded by people but I still feel alone,
I feel like a dog without a bone.
I want you near me,
to feel your arms around me,
to feel your love surround me,
each and everyday.
I want you in so many ways
to love me, care for me
for all the security
but most of all I need you as a friend
someone I can depend upon
in times of trouble
when I need a cuddle
and to be told everything will be all right.
But you are not there, are you?
can't you see how blue
I get? I need someone around me
to help me discover what I'll be
when I'm older.
Why did you do it?
For the money or just so you could sit
and see his pain
and feel the shame
of you betraying him?
Why did you take so long to make up your mind?
To leave Him behind?
Were you greedy
or just plain needy
to get him out of your life?
Do you think it's justified
to have him crucified?
Was it fair
For him to go through that despair
as well as you leaving him behind?
After all you believed
how could you leave
all that behind you
and just turn up out of the blue
with the soldiers to take Our Lord away?
You did it with a kiss
although I bet you wished
that you missed his cheek.
If only you could have sought
I'm not sure if you can see
the feelings deep inside of me.
I have tried to hide
them but I think you have spied
them sneaking out of me.
I don't think you feel the same
and you have no idea of the pain
I go through
everytime I see you
and I have to walk away.
My friends say you like me, but I'm not so sure.
I feel like you've pulled my heart out and thrown it on the floor.
How can you sit and watch the pain
I go through? I feel ashamed
to be in love with you.
People say my poems are depressing
but that's my way of expressing
the way I feel inside.
I do try to hide
my feelings though.
By writing poems I learn how to express
and not suppress
my feelings into a ball
how I used to keep them, just so I don't fall
into pieces when they come out.
I try to be happy, really I do
even when I'm feeling blue,
but it gets thrown back in my face.
I can't handle the pace
my world turns at.
What I want to do though, is to say sorry,
sorry for all the worry
I have put my friends through
and I know I owe
to you all my love and thanks.
Pain is what I have been living,
pain is what I have been giving
to people around,
the people who surround
me with their love everyday.
I don't want to be this way,
I just want to say "Hey!"
and try to get on, make something of myself
but I am going to need you help
to get me through this time.
When I go through times of trouble,
when I really need a cuddle,
please be there for me.
I really hope you can see
that I need you around.
Please stay with me through this pain
because I feel like I have to gain
your trust over again if I fail
and I don't want to bail
on our friendship.
I prefer a life of emptiness
rather than of happiness.
In emptiness it hurts less
so it is best
for me to live in.
I have been alone so long that I feel complete
and I find it hard to compete
with everything going on
but inside I long
for somebody.
When I do have someone it doesn't last
I think of the past
instead of the future. I know it's bad
and it makes me sad
when I'm alone again.
So maybe I'm meant to be alone,
to be on my own.
No one for me to love and share,
think and care
about when I'm by myself.
