This is a collection of poems that I have written throughout my life. I hope you enjoy them. I have written all sorts of forms of poetry but my favorite form of writing is free style. But I also love to write sonnets.

I’m Striving To Be A Better Me

I'm striving to be a better me,

Because what I once was

Has only dragged me down 

And prevented me from achieving 

What I am aiming to accomplish,

I'm striving to be a better me,

Because I linger on what once was

Instead of seeing what is,

What is more important to live in

Then living in the darkness of the past

I struggle to see what the future holds for me 

Because I'm stuck on the past

But I'm striving to be a better me,

And become someone worth living for,

I no longer want to dwell on what once was,

And I'll start seeking out the truth in the present,

Because I'm striving to be a better me.

I Could Hardly Imagine

I could hardly imagine 

When you put your life on the line

Just to save mine

You are so divine,

When You died on that cross

And rose on the third day

We were all at loss

For the words You prayed,

All shall bow down

When You come again

You'll have the crown

And You shall reign,

You were sent to set us free

From the lies of this Earth

You did plea

So we could be rebirth 

How holy is Your name

I could hardly imagine 

The daughter I have become 

For I am Your bloodline,

You saved me from this pain

And took me into Your arms 

And broke the chains

Of the world's harm,

When You came for me

I could hardly imagine 

What my life might be 

When You put Your life on the line,

My life would be filled with praise

When I show the world I'm Yours

From the dark abyss I will raise

From these never ending wars,

Who could hardly imagine 

The reasons why You chose

To help me waken

From the depths of the shadows,

I'm ready to meet You

At the gates of Your home

I've lived all the way through 

From this life I've roamed,

You chose a fool,

A silly old fool,

From these jaws,

Because I was filled with flaws.

Torn Apart

When I hear their battle cries of sudden death,

Death seems to be knocking at my front door 

My front door budges and then burst open into pieces 

Into pieces my dignity goes whenever I come near their swords

Their swords cut through my heart and my entire being 

My entire being shakes in the looming darkness 

Darkness is all I can see today

Today was the first day of the never ending wars 

Wars erupt all around me and I'm becoming petrified 

Petrified by their constant battling over what once was a squabble 

What once was a squabble turned into World War III 

Into World War III that has lasted over six years 

Six years way too long for the brothers to be fighting 

To be fighting that has turned family members against each other,

Against each other so as the fighting continues, one by one

One by one they shall fall into the same turmoil as they are in

They are in a state of darkness with no where to go 

No where to go and no one to turn too,

No one to turn too, so whose at fault here,

Here on the battle ground death seems to be lurking 

Lurking around these helpless souls who are fighting for no cause

No cause to fight but they can't remember why they're fighting 

Fighting against each other, this War has been going on far too long

Too long have I sat back and watched this family be torn apart 

Torn apart from their moral mindset 

Their moral mindset has been changed by too many mistakes 

Mistakes that could have been avoided but they had to start a squabble 

A squabble that turned into a never ending war.
