"Lead Me Through"
By AnnaRosa

In shadows thick, I whisper a prayer,

Is someone listening out there?

My steps are weak, my path unsure,

But still I knock on Heaven’s door.
Guide my hands, divine and true,

Help me walk the path to You
.
The chariot waits in light above—

Lift me with grace, carry me with love.

You are my steady
by AnnaRosa
My life is filled
by your existence.

You give me strength
 to push through—

the noise,
the silence,
the days that try to break me.
When I falter,
your presence becomes
 the ground beneath my feet ,
the light in my shadow.
You may never know 
the weight you lift 

just by being here.
But You do.

And because of you—

I rise
Edited
With every fiber of my being,
I lift you up—
away from harm.

I offer my guidance,

I am a person without credentials
So for you, I hold no authority.

I am stereotyped,

labeled a minority,

dismissed
for my circumstances,

a charity case—

frowned upon,

talked about.

What should I do?

Bury myself—
or let you bury me?


In your eyes I see no remorse,
no accountability.
And still—
knowing I’m the one who’s going to fall—
you let it happen.
-AnnaRosa

“ Echoes behind my eyes”

How do you scream
when your mouth is sealed shut?
When your fists are folded
into prayers, not protest?

Anger simmers—
not in fire,
but in the quiet ache
behind my eyes.

They say,
“Don’t raise your voice,”
so I raise my blood pressure,
my heartbeat,
my walls.

Tears fall,
not out of weakness,
but out of pressure.
Not sorrow,
but steam.
Not sadness—
but something deeper,
emptier.

I do not throw fists.
I throw words
into the void,
and even they
refuse to echo.

Tell me:
Is this anger,
or is it grief
in a war mask?

I carry it all
behind polite smiles
and closed doors—
until silence becomes
my loudest scream.

-AnnaRosa

I have so many mixed emotions—

but anger is the loudest one.

It drowns out the rest
in silence,

pressing heavy on my chest,

yet I dare not let it out.

Not one peep.

Not a look.

Just a slight weep

to flush the sadness
 no one sees.

Anger.
Hurt.
Loneliness.

Still—
I give all I am, 
all I have

to the ones I hold dear.

I hide my face,

mask the cracks,

so they won’t see

the breaking underneath.

But their actions…

they whisper louder than their words.

They show me I’m invisible,

dismissed,

pushed aside in my own home.

I have no authority.

Treated like a stranger,

a shadow,

a minority
in the space I built for love.

Yet they say:
“I love you.”

And for a moment—
I believe.

A brief exhale of relief.

Hope tiptoes in.

But it never stays

Fishing for words

Words rush like a river,
too many to catch,
too fast to follow.
The page lies still,
waiting for a mark,
a signal to begin.

Thoughts pile up,
a storm of fragments,
each one desperate to speak,
to find its place.
But the blankness
stares back,
unchallenged,
silent.

I really like this. Good flow and we writers know about that blankness staring back.

Each word born of thought,
yet bound by rhyme,
Not by choice,
but guided by a passion’s flow,
I trace the world in verse,
through lines you’ll know.

I do not linger on the "what-ifs" or the "why,"
I watch, I listen, and in silence, I describe
The quiet ache that hides behind your smile,
The tears you hold within, though for a while.

My words, though soft, unravel what you keep,
A truth you feel, but rarely dare to speak.
And in these lines, perhaps you’ll see the way
I understand the things you cannot say.
To my dear friend R.G jr

A poem I wrote to my family on New Year’s Day

Happy New Year
To all my loved ones,
big and small,

Another year is upon us all.

Though we’ve seen it all,
we stand tall,

Grateful for the strength
we’ve found in it all.
The Coronado crew,
a unit so strong,

Together we’ve made it,
where we belong.

Bulletproof we stand,
through thick and thin,

Blessed to see another year begin.
A year of change,
growth, and wisdom, too,

May God bless you all in all that you do.

With love, with health,
above all else,

I’m thankful for you,
and for ourselves.
Love,
AnnaRosa

Through Silent Love

It’s clear, my brother—
you hold me in despair,
Though all I’ve done
was born
from love and care.
Yet why you turn,
in silence,
cold and near,
A mystery that burdens me,
unclear.

I’ll love you still,
no matter
how it seems—
A love that’s hidden,
bound
by quiet dreams.
My deeds remain
untouched,
unspoken,
whole;
For they are mine,
untold,
within my soul.

I ask no praise,
no right to claim
the light.
I’ll not oppose,
nor challenge
what is right;
For He alone,
who sees
both great and small,
Knows the truth
of what is done,
and all.

I know not why
such hate
is turned my way,
When all I’ve given
is the light of day.
Though little I possess,
I’ll always stay—
A sister’s heart,
unbroken,
come what may.

Call upon me
when you’re lost
or in need,
For what I offer
is a timeless deed.
No greater bond exists
that can exceed
The love I bear,
the truth that may heed.
-AnnaRosa

"I’ve recently developed a deep passion for poetry, and though resources may be limited, I feel compelled to share my work with you all. I hope you enjoy this expression of art, as it means a great deal to me."



Rhythm of the soul

The beat that stirs me
when I can’t sleep,

A rhythm that lingers,
relentless, deep.

It pulses through my mind,
a steady fire,

A spark that fuels my every desire.
Each word I write,
each line I craft,

Unveils a world
where dreams can last.

My passion flows,
both fierce and true,

A melody that guides me through.
In every verse,
I find my flight,

A song that turns the dark to light.

It’s more than music;
it’s my voice,

A declaration,
a choice to rejoice.
The rhythm carries
me along,

A pulse that strengthens,
makes me strong.

Through every note,
I shape my fate,

A song of hope
that resonates.
