Not much is happy, though I will try to scratch up a couple of the happy ones too, I know I have a couple laying around here somewhere.. But most of it is, indeed, depressing.. because, well, because that's just me, and my style I guess.. who knows.. My poetry is my way of expressing my feelings of hurt/anger/saddness/depression whatever you would like to call it.. I easily express my happy feelings, but it is the hurt that always seems to have trouble spewing out.. If I wasn't so nice and respectful to others I probably wouldn't have this problem, really.. I always keep things bottled up inside of me though, I'll take anything you can dish out to me, but more than likely, I won't dish anything back out to you, I'll just bottle it up and store it away.. Sucks, eh? Yeah, I know, tell me about it, I live it.. I'm getting a little better with that though, not a whole heck of a lot, but a little, it's the way I was raised I guess, I was never allowed to raise my voice, or protest anything without being severely punished for it, so I kept quiet all of the time! Enough of my babble.. here are some poems, these poems have been accumulated over the years, dealing with very hard and troubling times for me, this has been my way to make myself feel better.. I think my later poems are better, because as I've aged, I've matured, and found my own styles, some better than others.. all of my poems have extreme meaning and strong feelings behind them, who knows, maybe someone will actually stop and thinking about something soon following........ Since there are fewer, we'll do happy poems first. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- My sun is always shining, never does it rain I have you to thank for that, for playing my game Not once would you think about, giving up on me And how much you love me, I can easily see Friendship brought us together, love might take us apart The thing that I fear most, if that I will break your heart I may not show it often, but I love you so much And my heart beats differently, at your very touch Should my sunshine fade, or the raindrops fall Always remember, I will come at your call You fullfill all of my dreams of hope, love and life And if we could make it that far, I'd happily be your wife March 25, 1992 10AM "My Sunshine" ---------------------------- A rose is a gentle thing, just like my heart, Dare not to break it, it would tear me apart. I know what we have, is only a small start But my feelings inside, have just hit me like a dart. My love is a great thing, gentle and free, You've got to earn your rights, to become a part of me. But once you've done that, can't you see, It would be very painful, if you set it all free. So, what do you think, is it worth a shot, You have to let me know, if this means a lot. And I know what you're thinking, what a lot of bull, But if that's how you feel, then you're the fool. And with all of this, I give you my symbol, A white dove for you, a gift from me, My symboly of love, now do you see? August 6, 1991 "A Start" ------------------------ Always landing on all fours no matter how hard they fall no matter how long they drop always poised and graceful Always purring, and lurking about no matter what mood they're in no matter who is around always poised and somewhat playful Always there when someone needs them no matter where they are or have been no matter where they're going or have gone always poised and pretty joyful July 14, 1992 11PM "Cats" ---------------------------- Someone to understand is all I need Someone to listen to care not a big greed I thought I had this person, what I thought was wrong True friends are forever they're what keep hearts strong So when you think you've got a catch you'd better think twice People can be very tricky so make sure they're really nice I never liked to get hurt but who ever really does No one care for any extra pain what life brings is enough Before you go and gloat be sure you're really safe You don't want to sink your own boat so check for more than just a pretty face August 27, 1991 10:30PM "Inside Out" --------------------------- "And now, for something a little different...." --------------------------- Another day gone at last Two good friends, away they passed Another broken heart to mend Crying out for me, and only me, Jen Another sticky situation on this day What can I do, what can I say? His cries are serious, his cries are silent But how can I stop his aweful violence What does he want, what does he need? All he longs for is to stop his heart bleed All he needs is an open ear To let out his feelings on death, his biggest fear But memories will help him along They'll help take care of all that's wrong But nothing at all can take away his pain He's just lost a sister, to this there's nothing to gain Nothing can take away his terrible pain, for sure Because heartbreak, definatly, has no cure November 11, 1991 9:23PM "Heartbreak" ----------------------------- Everynight she sits there alone, She can think of nothing but herself and you She sits there alone at heaven's door Knocking and knocking, finally to enter Once inside, she looks around The rooms are so beautiful Full of excitment and joy But she finds herself alone Shouting and screaming, no one answers No one hears a lonely girls cries of pain She quiets, calms, searching for a clue Into a bright she wandered; a key Trying to put together a puzzle, A broken puzzle, the center piece missing After looking at the unfinished puzzle for hours She came to realize the piece was irreplaceable The bright room suddenly darkened Crumbled, torn apart, the puzzle is places back in it's box Useless, uncared for, never thought of again This puzzle brought forth only heartache The search incomplete, like everything else The lonely girls walks away, alone as entered I walked through Heavens dorrs worse than before Looking back, with a tear in my eye I cried a good-bye to the lonely house of pain August 31, 1992 "House of Pain" ----------------------- A cold and lonely night No one is around A lonely girl sits all alone Arms folded for warmth and security Head down to hide her tears At first glance up she searches Searching for something not in her reach She quickly gives up hope Sitting there alone; it starts to rain The girl lets out a sudden scream Picking her head up once again Again, realizing she is alone She cries out louder and louder Hoping someone could hear her As I sat there, alone in the rain Crying to myself, all I craved Was the touch of another Someone's voice to tell me all would be okay Someone to hold me, and hide the rain My third glance up was total blackness A sudden waken from my sleep Sweating coldly, shaking in fright I looked around, only to find myself Alone and scared August 30, 1992 7:27PM "Alone and Scared" That's it for now.. I think that may be too many as it is.. if you guys want more, I'll do more, if not, I won't, but it's up to you, you have to read it.. It's no problem to type out.. I have many, many more.. typing this stirred up many feelings and thoughts, I hope it stirred up something in someone else besides just me! All of the above poems are original pieces of work by me, and only me! --Cat Eye [>> Phoenix Modernz Inc. :908/830-TANJ <<] [>> Modern Textfiles Inc.
