Rain

Days can be hard,
And days can be long,
But you know I just
keep on going strong.

Sometimes, I dont want
the sun to shine.
Sometimes, I just need
That happy place of mine.

*So let the rain fall down,
Let the rain, cover me today.
Let the rain fall down,
Let it wash everything away.

The purity that
showers down,
Makes me feel,
Safe and sound.
 

I wouldn't have it
any other way.
so please,
Let me enjoy the rain.

I know I'm late. I was having a major block and i promised myself I wouldn't post ANOTHER photograph this month. 

This poem was originally a song I  wanted to write years ago, but the furthest I ever got was one section that randomly would get stuck in my head. The part that is starred is that section. It was going to be the chorus. I have wanted to work on this more for years and finally did just that. I may eventually finish the song, but I don't know..

ME

The shy girl in the corner,
the one that hardly says a word.
That one that hides behind her hair,
when it comes to be her turn.

That's who they think I am,
because that's the facade that I show.
But there's another side to me,
that they may never know.

I'm not always quiet,
sometimes I don't shut up.
I'm fairly optimistic,
so I see a half full cup.

I like to run and play,
just like a little girl.
I have an imagination,
larger than this world.

I care about nature,
and hold those I love deep in my heart.
In songs I sing loud,
at my favorite part.

Yes, I like corners,
they make me feel safe.
But that doesn't mean,
I don't have a smile on my face.

My friends are all crazy,
but I don't think that's bad.
They make my life fun,
and me a little "Mad".

And never judge by size,
because I know I'm not alone.
Though I may not be very big,
my heart's not fully grown.

So I may seem quiet,
but you can see that's not the case.
Even my short stories are long winded,
I need to set a better pace.

I may seem smart,
but even my grades start to fall.
Sometimes I appear to understand everything,
when I understand nothing at all.

I'm such a big writer,
I hear my characters in my head.
And when I cant sleep,
I make new scenes before bed.

Looks can be decieving,
add my name to the list.
I'm not who you think I am.
And, well, you get the gist.

Another poem for a scholarship. This one I did submit. I also recorded myself saying it.

Next month I have trip.. I should be able to get a few more pictures to be able to post. So might be able to chill out with the writing.

why I write

I don't write to be heard,
I write to express.
I certainly don't write,
so I can be best.

It's what I like to do,
from the things that I see.
I really don't use it,
to be some queen bee.

I show some,
to those I care about, though.
to get some opinions,
and be in the know.

I don't write for others,
I write for myself.
My notebooks could stay,
forever on a shelf.

My rhymes may not match,
as well as other would like.
But when I'm writing,
they fit just right.

There are many reasons to write,
I guess this is mine.
I write to let things out,
And I think I do just fine.

I found my old book that I used to carry with me everywhere. It had a few poems that I thought I could post here. I think I wrote this for a scholarship, but I don't remember if I submit it or not...

I'm running out of photos to post. I haven't been going out too much and I mainly only do well in nature photography, in fact, I've been scheduling these posts in advance for a few months now... I should have more photography in a couple months, but I don't know how much it'll last, I do still have work and school.

A Family

No blood is needed,
nor is any law.
When we all come together,
Always give our all.

We don't need any reason,
We don't need to be the same.
We are here for each other,
through each and every day.

With hearts wide open,
we watch many come and leave.
But that doesn't change the fact,
That they were part of our family.

I wrote this on 9/11/14. It was my first day working off of training. I was sitting down and waiting before I had to clock in and I just kept hearing everyone interacting with each other. This just came to mind. I thought I would share.

Dragonfly

Surrounded in nature,
There's magic all about.

But with your eyes open,
It doesn't come out.

What will it take,
To be able to see?
For with your eyes closed,
You can start to believe.

Only then do you hear,
The fairies, pixies, and dragons in flight.

But when your lids split apart,
you see nothing but a simple Dragonfly.

I took this picture at a local park. Dragonflies were appearing around me a lot at the time. This one allowed me to get close and take this picture. I was told that if you see dragonflies about, then fairies were close by. That's the meaning for this poem. I am trying to post more things, it's just not the easiest for me. Between school and work, I half the time want to just sleep and the other half want to be with my friends.... I'm working on it though.

Walk with me

This is an older picture of mine. I had a different one I wanted to post, but I have to track it down again now that my computer is probably done for. But at least this one comes with a poem, so it's like two in one.

Walk with me down the path,

As we go to our favorite place.

Take my hand and lead the way,

I'll let you set the pace.

Walk with me to our special spot,

to where we both feel free.

Flash that wonderful smile,

Once it's just you and me.
