Today I Am Afraid

Overcoming Fear Of The Unknown I wrote this one day just to get some fears of the unknown out. It inspired and reminded me not to worry about what tomorrow brings because it only comes one minute at a time. Today I felt lost. I couldn't find Your hand. I felt so alone, I just don't understand. Today I am afraid, For tomorrow's troubles may bring More pain than today. I may not last; I'll continue to pray. Why do I worry about tomorrow? Today brings enough fear; For today was the tomorrow That seemed all too near. Today I am afraid, For tomorrow's troubles may bring More pain than today I may not last; I'll continue to pray. I'll never forget about the past. My pain will never let me. Tomorrow is how long it will last. By then I may be free.

Don't Quit

Are you depressed or down in the dumps? Do you want to give up on your goals and just quit? If this applies to you, this is exactly what you have been looking for to motivate you to come back even harder and achieve your dreams. When times are hard, you might stop for a bit, But it's not over until the moment you quit. On a river's bridge, failures are the planks; Take one step at a time until you reach its banks. Don't give up on your dreams, chase them instead; You will find, one morning, as you wake up from bed, That you are the person about whom you dreamed, And you can reach great heights, impossible though it seemed. When things go wrong and your back is to the wall, Try to stand up, no more can you fall. Life is full of ups and downs, take them in your stride, You will discover your little star, hidden inside.

Trials

I choose to write this because I am going through a hard time. Maybe it will help someone else. Sometimes you may think you're alone, And your feelings make you seem like a clone. Deep down you are whole, Not an empty bowl. Someone loves you, And all the words they say are true. Trust in yourself To be strong And true and whole and mighty. This time will pass; It's just a trial. Just walk down this aisle, Head held high; You're strong.

I Am No Longer Afraid

This poem is for that special person who has taught me the true meaning of life. He supported me when I was at my weakest. He never failed to make me happy. He taught me how let go of my fears and just live life to the fullest. "I am no longer afraid to fall, for I know whenever I am about to, you'll be there to catch me. In your eyes I see a world of happiness, for now I am no longer afraid of the world on the outside. Your arms gives me the comfort of belonging, for now I am no longer afraid of being alone. Because of you I am no longer afraid. You have given me the courage to become who I am today. Your love shows me that you'll always be by my side. That is why now I am no longer afraid to love.

Dear Addiction

Inspiring Change For Addicts I wrote this poem in a very short time while I was in a treatment center for addiction. I know addiction is a very big problem for people in this world, and hopefully this can be an inspiration for someone struggling with this disease the way I have. Since writing this I am doing a lot better, but it is a daily battle trying to get my life back in order. The only words of advice I have is just take it one day at a time. Thank you for reading I'm writing this to you, Telling you we're through. I can't take you anymore, Don't know what I liked you for. All you did was wear me out. Now I know what you're all about. You came to me with promise and joy, Now look at all the things you destroy. Families, lives, bank accounts, you see. You ruined it all with one little tease. Look at the way you make me feel Then you take it all and want me to steal Why can't you just go and hide Somewhere far away where I'

Don't Wait Until I Am Gone

Treat me with love, dignity, respect and compassion Now as I am healthy, vibrant and alive. Don't wait to hear that I am sick and dying To love me the way I was meant to be loved. Bring me flowers and candy on any day just because. Don't wait for a holiday, love and cherish me every day. Tell me I am beautiful. See my beauty in my body and soul. Don't wait to see that I am disfigured And then tell me that I am beautiful Because you think that is what I want to hear. Talk to me lovingly now so I can hear your beautiful voice And listen to the ringing of your laughter. Don't try to talk to me that way now That I am deaf and can no longer hear your sweet voice. Speak words of love and compassion So I can remember those conversations Even though I may not be able to hear them again. Come one day and you will be sad, you will be sorry! Treat me like a human being with a life That needs to be lived my way...not yours! Remember that our Creator gave y

BrotherHood

I walk slowly down the streets paved with sadness, Addicts begging for favors and pleading for change, Desperation plagues their dark hollow eyes And their hearts, they are empty and I I silently cry. I see in parks the children that are playing, Smiles and joy lights up their faces with glee, Laughter fills the air with song and delight, Their hearts are full with love and trust in their eyes, I silently cry. I cry for the lost, the rich and the poor, Whose hearts have grown bitter and cold, For what could have been in their life is now gone, And left is the empty high of a drug that's unknown, I silently cry. I pray for the ones who have given up hope, Hope for a future of love, faith and joy, I pray for the lonely the sick and the lost, That someone would take the time to reach out, I silently hope, I hope for a future, a better tomorrow, For people who need compassion and care, I hope that bitterness melts with the touch of a heartbeat, I hope for the l

Remember

As I walk through life, I look at all I have done. I had wandered aimlessly, And wondered what I have become. I have been through so much, It is amazing I made it through. The lessons I have learned I am shocked I pulled through. The times I wondered What life was all about. The trials experienced in life, Can make all the good come out. We try to make it day by day. Remembering what we were taught. Just remember some time to pray, It is important, We need it every day. Life can be short. Unexpected at that. We try to take its punches, Just hoping it won't break our back. Remember who you are, Who you want to become. Everything will fall into place, When the time comes. Don't forget I love you's, Every chance you get. The time may be short, There is no time to regret. Life can be exciting, As we all have found out. Eventful, even busy There is no time to be left out. Remember who you are, And who you want to become. The time can be short

From Oppression Comes Light

Depression is oppression. It's a deadly hidden message Defined by self-hate. It seals its prisoner's fate. It holds you captive and throws out the key. It stabs and jabs just to see you bleed, Inflicting wounds that scar for life. Destruction is its mother and death its wife. You can cry, but it will always ignore your screams. It terrorizes your soul and haunts your dreams. It sends you false hope through a bottle or pill. It destroys your goals and inflicts its will. You can't run, nor can you hide. By its rules you will abide Until it celebrates that you have died. Open your eyes, or you will be its prey. It will blur your vision in the most twisted way. It will seek your destruction and call for your head. You will lie and wait but never rest in your bed. Peace will come to those who want peace, But as long as you feed him, you will see the beast. You can't run, nor can you hide, But if you conquer the beast, you will survive. Prayer and hope

The Secrets We Hide

we struggle to have meaning in this world which we all know we try but yet we wonder where we all should go hidden in the questions which we can not find the answers are all hidden deep inside our minds hidden in our soul is the life we try to hide but in time it will find you and it will release all of its secrets hidden beneath so before it ruins the life you have made release those dark secrets and the memories will fade hidden in our lives are stories left untold of the things we didn't want them to know but once you tell somebody and make your feelings known the struggle will be over and you'll finally be home

Live Life

Life is crazy, and totally unpredictable... It's going to push you over, kick you while you're down and hit you when you try to get back up. Not everything can beat you. Things are going to change you, But you get to choose which ones you let change you. Listen to your heart, Follow your dreams, And let no one tell you what you're capable of. Push the limits, Bend the rules, And enjoy every minute of it. Laugh at everything, Live for as long as you can. Love all, But trust none. Believe in yourself, And never lose faith in others. Settle for nothing but only the best, And give 110% in everything you do. Take risks, Live on the edge, Yet stay safe, And cherish every moment of it. Life is a gift, Appreciate all the rewards, And jump on every opportunity. Not everyone's going to love you, But who needs them anyways? Challenge everything, And fight for what you believe. Back down to nothing, But give in to the little things in life, Afte

A Womans Worth

She gave life. She is a wife. She is a mother and she is a friend. She is a sister a survivor to the end. Appreciate her, we don't dare. Ask her worries, we don't care. Wipe away her tears, they are invisible as air. She works cooks and clean. She laughs, helps comfort, and hides her pain. When you struggle she pulls you through All this is she and what do we do? Complain and create a mess. Provide stress and leave her feeling depressed.. Push her away and ignore her advice. Tell her she is nothing without thinking twice. She was raped tortured and abused. Told she was nothing and would always be used just for pleasure forget her pain. She swallows her pride, put her feelings aside. Does as you need in order for you to be free. Ignores your ignorance and tolerates your flaws. You call her Bitch, Slut, Hoe and Tramp She answers with pride dignity and a complete loss of self. You call her nothing. I call her Strong, Smart, Sensual, Caring, Giving, Surviv

Fall

Get Inspired Today With Ahanotu Fednand Topic:  Fall You may see me struggle, but you won't see me fall. Regardless if I'm weak or not, I'm going to stand tall. Everyone says life is easy, but truly living it is not. Times get hard, people struggle and constantly get put on the spot. I'm going to wear the biggest smile even though I want to cry. I'm going to fight to live, even though I'm destined to die. And even though it's hard and I may struggle through it all, you may see me struggle... but you will NEVER see me fall. visit: Young-evans.blogspot.com for more inspirations. 

Inside

Growing up is very difficult, a mixture of leaving behind and embracing new challenges. Bottled up inside Are the things I never said, The feelings that I hide, The lines you never read You can see it in my eyes, Read it on my face, Trapped inside are lies, Of the past I can't replace With memories that linger, And won't seem to go away, Why can't I be happier? Today's a brand new day Yesterdays are over Even though the hurting is not, Nothing lasts forever, I must cherish what I've got Don't take my love for granted, For soon it will be gone, All you've ever wanted, Of the love you thought you won The feelings I have now Won't disappear overnight, But somehow, someway everything will be alright I'm leaving now To slay the foe Fight my battles High and low I'm leaving parents Hear me go Please wish me luck today I've grown my wings, I want to fly Seize my victories where they lie I'm going guys, but pl

Mom

Grow Up Like You What better way to raise a child to be a good parent than to be a positive role model. Your words mean a lot to me, They make the whole world see. Your words of love and wisdom too, I hope I grow to be like you. A mother and father wrapped in one, Your work on earth is never done. You work so hard to give nice things, Three jobs, and still has time to sing. Knowing you raised on your own, With hurt and pain never shown, A nonstop trial to all who dared, You were the only one who cared. That's why I ask God everyday, To make me the exact same way. To show me how to be like you, And tell me exactly what to do. But now I know just what to do, Because I am, I'm just like you.

Golden Days

Precious Childhood Days I was just missing my childhood days, so this was the outcome! Those were the days... When I used to get up late, Never cared about the day and date. All I ever did was play With building blocks and molding clay. Now I keep stumbling to find a way To bring back my childhood days. Used to write the alphabet With white chalks on a slate, Waved a silly goodbye every day To the dog roaming in front of my gate. Now I keep stumbling to find a way To bring back my childhood days. Near the corner of the park, at the end, We fought tiny wars with our friends, Were so carefree, never had to pretend, Had all the food in lunches our mothers would send. Now I keep stumbling to find a way To bring back my childhood days. Though it's impossible, I'd like to try To press a button and go back in time. Far from the business of loss and gain, Away from the feelings of grief and pain, To be that naughty girl once again, To live that good life

Just A Title

These biting words are enough to send chills up any mother's spine. Just a title Nothing more I am sorry to say We have no rapport Better this way Than playing pretend This is the way I have come to contend Just a title Nothing more I'm finally able to close the door You did this yourself All on your own I hope you like feeling alone I have tried too much Now I am tired of holding the clutch Just a title Nothing more Is what I have decided for You made your choice Now you must lie Now I see your chosen side Just a title Nothing more 'Mother' now I shut the door.

Thanks, Mom

I wrote this poems for those who feel mom haven't done well...I hope it suits your mood and speaks your mind. Dear Mom, Thanks for the years the years of my tears you treat me bad and you make me sad I just want to die in heaven I'd lie I'd sail and I'd dream I wouldn't have time to scream I wouldn't take the tears I wouldn't have these fears I would be able to love I could rise high above and even though I seem to hate I don't hate as I probably should that I expect, you probably would you hate everything and even yourself so I'll hang the presence of you upon my highest shelf even though you cause a hole in my heart in years of time, you can always re-start.

Father Of Mine

You Make Me Cry A daughter grows strong, but she will not forgive her father for his violence and lack of fatherness. Father Of Mine Published on August 2008 You weren't around to help me out. You left my life without any doubts. You were never around to help me out, You were always the one who would shout. Violence was the answer for you, Well guess what? I'm growing up to be just like you. I always wanted you around but no matter how hard I tried you would just make me cry. Father of mine you're not a man. To this day I won't forgive you. I have grown strong and I have been through a lot but none of my strength comes from you because your someone who NEVER came through. 

A Child's Plight

Poem About Mother Not Interested In Child's Struggles How sharp the pain when we depend upon a parent for help and they don't come through. A Child's Plight Published on February 2006 Where were you When I struggled to get home Where were you When I needed someone to confide in Where were you When I needed help Where were you When I was alone Where were you When I had nothing Where were you When I was scared Where were you When I was forced to bare myself Where were you When I needed helping hands Where were you When my life dwindled on life or death Where were you When I lost my sense of reality Where were you When I was being defiled Where were you When I was being filled with hate Where were you When I was surrounded by anger Where were you When I wanted to die Where were you When I wanted a hug Where were you When I needed confidence Where were you When my life was asunder Where were you When I felt used Where were you W
Poem About Son Loving Step- Father Vs. Real Dad Why do some abuse the ones they love the most and pay a price that leaves them out of the house? My Father And My Dad Hurrying to pack up all your stuff in the middle of the night. All because your Mother and Father are in another abusive fight. You hear all that yelling and screaming at such a young age. It feels like a scared dog that's trapped in its cage. But your Father beating your Mother until she can't take it no more. I walk out of my bedroom to see her bloody and lying on the floor. I was only three years old, but these memories still run through my head. No wonder all my life I told everybody, that my Father was dead. He did nothing to help my Mother with my sister and me. Mom was always working her fingers to the bone to take care of us three. Then she met someone who put us all first in his life. Together they had a baby and he made her his wife. He has done more for me than my own Fat
You Missed Out I dedicate this to my real father because he was never there as I was growing up, so my mom's ex treated me like I was his and that's why I call him daddy because he's the one that I actually had! I'm sorry you missed out when I went to school for the 1st time, And you didn't have me tell you that you were all mine, I'm sorry you weren't there to take me to the mall, And you weren't there to tell me I have to stand tall, Sorry you weren't the one I saw when I came home that day Or the one I'd run to when I had a bad day, I'm sorry you didn't hear me write these, you'd have been so proud, And you weren't there to lift me up on a cloud, Sorry you weren't there to tell me there's nothing to fear, But then again you should have been here, I'm sorry you weren't the one to teach me to ride a bike, Or the one who took me on my first ride. I'm sorry you weren't the one wh
