Rain
My mother named me after all the shit in her life. Rain, that’s what she called the troubled times. I was just another splash of a long storm. Three days after I was born she killed . . . more

She looked like and angel
lying still
Around her neck she wore a cross
And to her that was like her ticket
to heaven
But she had earned that,
her trip to heaven, . . . more

I wait until my stepmom leaves
And then I sneak into a pantry with ease.
The bottle sits there glass and clear
A wrapper blue is called me there
Opened up with the twist of a cap.
So simple. . . . more

Today is the day we leave to see my brother truly become a soldier. At least to me and my family that's what we are going to see. Some people say when a person signs up for the military he becomes . . . more

Once, not such a very long time ago there was this woman who changed my life. In the midst of having hers torn apart around her she took the time to help save mine. Now, I don't know where this woman . . . more

Crew cuts and tight buns
Straight lines, precision, and obedience
Death and pain on all accounts
This is what it costs
Long days, hard nights
Often far away from home
Tears . . . more

At this very second
someone is preparing to move on
to the next life
Her family surrounds her
Remembering old times
Crying and laughing
It's such a melancholy time
No one knows . . . more

" Boo."
That's what he said to me. That's all he said. And he walked away, well I can't say he walked, more he glided, after all ghosts can't walk. They'd fall right . . . more

I am the girl who want to grow up fast
I am the girl who wants to forget the past
I am the girl who wants to live life full
I am the girl who lives life quietly
I am the girl who doesn't . . . more

I hate lying to people especially when they seriously care what happens to me and trust me. But here's the thing I'm afraid they will get angry with me. Or hate me even, for the things I've . . . more

She came here our Christmas gift
She fit my stepmom's every wish.
At seventeen she'd been hurt,
But she got away with help.
And after a year of foster care,
where parts were hell and parts . . . more

Today I write of a man whom without I'd not be here today, my grandfather (my Bumpa). Four years ago on this day my Bumpa was in a car accident. He'd been drunk and was killed. Though I miss him . . . more

Last night my stepmother, sister and I were at the mall. My stepmother's cell phone rang and she told us we had to leave. In a rush we walked through the mall to the parking lot at the other end, getting . . . more

Last night (Feb. 16, 2008) I found myself watching Extreme Makeover Home Edition. On it a family comprised of a biker/preacher, a stay at home mom, a twenty year old mother, and that twenty year old's . . . more

Interesting times, way back when yesterdays were happy.
They are hard to remember, but some are just so vibrant
Smiling on Christmas mornings
And when things just fell so easily into place

A girl lays sleeping her breathing strong and deep
It's especially amazing seeing she had wept herself to sleep.
This girl lays sleeping
Her tearstained face upturned,

What I don't understand about this place is why it is so unaccepting. Students and teachers of both sexes, many races, multiple orientations and from all sorts of situations come to this place everyday. . . . more

I never knew
That what I said had hurt you
I never knew
That being who I am would destroy you
I never knew
That coming out with the truth
would break us apartBecause . . . more

Hiding the scars doesn't change
What I did to myself
Maybe they'll fade someday
but that won't change my actions
Dark lines on my arms
I see them darker than others do
Possibly because . . . more
