This is a bunch of poems that I have written be honest I know there are grammar errors and punctuation errors I did that on purpose. Please be honest. Thank you! :)





~The Ghost of your dreams~

I am the ghost in this house I am the chill in the air.
I was once the owner of this landscape bare.
Another family lives here.

I see many people come and go.
I am trapped
I pray that one day I can go Heavenly bound.
I am the ghost of your dreams

I am not the first of my kind.
There are many of us. Some still live. Others are dead.
Why do we go through life invisibly?

Many thought they see us and ignore us. Some even knew us.
But they have forgotten that we are there. Or they cast us away.

I sleep in my cloud bed Then remember why I lived.
I worship my God.
I worship living creatures and vegetation.

Now that I am by his side.
I am the ghost.
THE GHOST OF YOUR DREAMS.





~Family~

Have you got one?
A picture one like on TV?

Do you all have each other's backs?
Or, hold knives behind your own?

Do you know what each other likes and dislikes?
Maybe but then maybe not right?

Family is a loaded word now.
Family turns out to be your children and pets.

Family turns out to be your co-workers
and the bird chirping at your window in the morning.
Family should mean something.

But does it really mean anything anymore?

Kids killing their parents, Parents killing kids.
Neglect and abuse.
Everyone is out for themselves.

The ones who break off into cliques. Like high school freshmen.
Casting you aside.
The black sheep.

The ones who show up only to see if they gained anything from someone else's loss.
Family right?

You tell me where family truly lives? Maybe this sounds like a bad dream to you.
But it's a reality for so many of us.

Please if you have a family hold on to it. What you have another person has none.


~Today~

Jenny ran to play

Like she did every day

Little did she know

This was viewed as a show.

Suzie over there
Watches with wonder and care.

Wishing she could play.
And enjoy her day.

Stuck in this room.
Filled with needles and doom

Machines running. And alarms beeping
Yet there’s this silence and it’s deafening.

Today could have passed.
But somehow she stayed.

This is why. She tried to go
But fell back down with woe.

Little Suzie knows the physical pain. She knows the toll this takes.
She is tired. Weak and broken.

Her mother was long gone. To dust she returned.
Fought years now it's Suzie's turn.

This is a reality for many. Not just a show. People getting sick and all the sorrow.
Nothing new has been found to help.

Yet technology for leisure keeps advancing.
Why isn't there something more that can be done?

Please everyone help us find some.



~Soilders~

Day by day
Night by night
They all stand and fight

For what I ask myself.
Why? Look at what society does years down the line.

Homeless. Abused
Forgotten and then used.

Walk a mile in their shoes.
Adorn the equipment.
Listen to the sounds.

“Saving Private Ryan and Pearl Harbor,
Go back to the beginning.
The Patriot, To Hacksaw Ridge.

Ask any elderly individual. Ask any disabled individual.
Ask those with PTSD.
As we can all relate.

Do your research.
Understand.
Maybe one day the war will end.

Bring them home. Keep them there.
Call a truce. Make this all stop. But if it ever stops
What if everything stops?

~Hope~

I hope that people will soon change.
Maybe finally open their eyes and solve problems?

Money and hustle are all that's noticed.
But guess what?
You can't take that with you.

One day we all go.
We are all human.
We all bleed red

Hope is all that I have left.
And yet
My heart tries to believe people change.

Hope
Is there a little that you could spare?
Just a little so I can care?

Holding out
Weiry hearted
Prayer is something I need to restart.

Broken heart.
Ice cold blood
Hate blooming where Love should be.

Someone, please help.
Let's make a difference.

Sun on my face
Wind in my hair

Floral scents wafted here and there.
Grass blowing
Seeds falling

New life being born that nature calling
Water gently falls sitting still in a pond.

Help preserve this.
Don't build on it.

Trees falling second by second.
Climate getting more and more toxic

Someone big.

Help us here

Help

Let's preserve this while we have it.
Don't be cruel.

Let's fix what we can. One tree per person

One garden or plant in every yard.

If bees die off Mankind has 4 years left to live.

Plant those flowers.
Fix community gardens,

Help preserve life for a few more years.
You

Your eyes hold me captive

Your smile makes me melt

Yet your words are cold and calculating

Your actions seem sincere

Yet your distance is uncanny

You switch from victim to aggressor

But what you don't know

Is

I know you.
I know you all too well.

You can't fool the fool.
You held a fraction of my attention
A whisper of my thoughts

For now, You are nothing but a fleeting memory.
You are all but gone.
You have no power over me anymore.
For you were just a hope.
A tiny sliver of hope.





Today will be good
I will laugh

I will smile

I will calm the tears threatening to fall
I will

Today will be perfect
Nothing out of place

The family will smile and be merry
Friends will copy and paste the atmosphere throughout the place

Today I will not worry
Today I will not let them get to me

If only for the sunlight hours
That will be perfect

My demons will stay at bay
Where they can't touch me

Today Will be good
For tomorrow is not promised
So today
I will.


The shadows

The shadow's hands were cold as ice
Thy teeth as sharp as blades The chill as frigid as the tundra

Yet the shadows hold my hand in a promise
The promise of comfort.

Thoughts change patterns over and over. Sometimes in a loop.
Never does anything more happen.

Eloping me in their false words.
Nothing happens nothing is solved

Everything that I can and everything that I am is within these walls
Light burns too bright for thine eyes

And yet the darkness tends to be my only constant

Knowing that I need sun for health
Knowing that there is more out there

Yet never having the time, never having a way
And never able to get there one step forward

Three steps back

The shadows are winning.
I just hope to come out with a little of the lie I had before.



Love

Can someone call upon me?
Take me to court, with chaperones
In meadows filled with green

Promise me the world
Hold me in your mind's eye
Later making a trophy sitting in a case

Can someone call upon me?
Never getting love and mine is going to waste.
I have loved to share

But do I deserve love?
So far this is my fear
Love is more valuable than anything shiny

Love is hard to find
Yet hasted lost
Nothing staying strong
The smallest problem and its gone

Can someone show me love?
Not just circumstantial love?
Someone calls upon me.
Show me it's real.
Call upon me.

Show me how to feel.
