Beautiful Poems I wrote in Jail
Russian Roulette
Girls getting out are dying on us
They just couldn’t stay away
All they wanted was to play
They must not have known
The play they messin’ with, is dangerous
Cause now, they’re dying on us
Playing with their drug of choice
Heroin, crack, alcohol, meth
Or just plain creepy deaths
In just a month, two have died
And one still hanging on for dear life
I just wanna hug her and bring her back
Girls don’t realize,
They playin Russian Roulette with their life
It ain’t a game, just a little hit
It doesn’t mean you’re gonna miss
You know you’re gonna score
So, wanting more
And, soon you’ll be hangin on for dear life
Wishin someone was by your side
Please don’t die, live life
Don’t cock the gun and pull the trigger
Please, step away from the gun
And walk away, into the sun.
Unity Prayer
We hope you’re no longer in pain,
Pretty girls with wings
Flying in heaven
Now you’re angels
Living with our father,
Heavenly lord, also our Mother
Clouds and sky an endless sea of blue
Floating above us
Looking down on us
We pray you’re at peace
When we know we’re not
Sweet tenderness kiss you blow, so lots
We catch the breeze and feel that gentle kiss
We know you’re there
Nudging our empty despair
Lifting our hopes, that you’re okay
But it doesn’t absolve all our pain
But it eases us, knowing you’re there
The world unites, holding hands
Saying our prayers and love in our hearts
We give you thanks and wishes, that we were apart,
Apart of your world, when you were alive
Now we light a candle and wipe tears away
So every day, we will love you, forever and always.
Pretty
You are pretty, you are fine, you blow everyone else’s mind,
They see you as beautiful because you are,
Not just your spirit but your face, you are gracious in every way.
Lovely is the name they speak, its okay once and a while to retreat,
Retreat from the world and restore your soul,
Becoming prettier than you were, once before.
Pretty isn’t just a beautiful face, you give the world your soul to take,
They get a part of you in every way, spreading your infectious soul,
Giving the world what we’re looking for.
Greatness in all things makes us wiser than anything.
Speak her words of wisdom and spread it loud,
Making her exceptionally proud, when people are around her,
They can’t help but become or feel better as people,
That’s what she does, she helps people.
That is her prettiness, giving apart of herself in every way,
Thanking those who give her thanks.
We are all pretty in every single way,
We take our own breath away,
We make mistakes but it’s time to grow,
Grow as a person, who knows,
Knows that life is precious in every way,
Reach for the pretty stars and give the ultimate thanks.
Mirror Effect
I look upon my image, reflected in the mirror and I don’t recognize myself anymore
She looks different, she is the past me
She looks rough, sad and angered at the same time,
Perplexed of how life has treated her!
She’s weak and sickly looking,
As if she’s been hidden and trapped away in a dungeon somewhere for years;
Her skin pale, eyes a sad blue, her expression is unidentifiable, complex.
But, as I stand there, I look down at my real self
Trying to recognize the new me…
She is pretty, confident, I can feel her;
She is strong and relishes the fact that she’s alive.
Feels good; to be whole, human, and fully aware.
I look up and finally see the real me, she sure is pretty.
She doesn’t look like the old me at all,
She’s found the secret to life,
And that is; moving on and standing strong and tall,
Confident and still fierce, all life has been, is a blur.
She scans herself up and down, no longer with a frown,
She is no longer vain and in so many other ways- loves to be who she is;
Funny, vigilant and independent
The mirror doesn’t lie; we change and grow over time,
Going from one point to another, learning of yourself and others
Small things lead to big changes and your overall look changes,
Starting as an ugly duckling and growing into a swan who cares,
She is no longer ugly inside; she is beautiful and intends to live life.
The Other You
We came from the same place you and I
A beautiful place called earth with;
A warm sunshine, a soft cool breeze, and the roughness of the dirt between our toes
How sweet the world treats us?
Delivering us to the heavens, when we cry a happy cry
We see life around us and it inspires us to do good.
But, when life comes crumbling down, we’re so afraid,
Afraid that life in some way has failed us
We came from the same place you and I
We’re no different from each other
Yet man treats us differently
But, the world doesn’t discriminate
Pushing and pulling us into different worlds of good and evil
How do we see it, when a veil is over our eyes?
Deceiving us, exploiting us, taunting us.
We came from the same place you and I
With open arms and eyes
We finally meet, you and I
To finally see what we’ve been missing
Is she good or is she bad?
Who’s to say either is the other?
Confused, we realize that you and I
Is You, just You.
