Watching Over Me

I know you're up in heaven smiling down on me.
Although I cannnot see you I know you're watching over me.
Although i touch we cannot share,
I know that you will always care.
and though you're up in heaven above,
I will still recieve you're love.
I know you'll never leave and that you'll always stay;
I know you'll always love me in that everlasting way
This poem is dedicated to my Maw-Maw
Mcdonald who I know is always with me,and who I love very dearly,with ALL my
heart and always will.

Stronger

It gets so hard sometimes and we lose our way.
A dark past our a situation thta seems to last.
A never-ending lie that you can't get past.
A harsh relationship that hits you in the heart;
when you thought that you would never part.
So now you're trying to move on;
trying to find you're way,and then you realize it'll be okay.
You're sadness will soon be no longer,
because you realize that you've become stronger.

Suicide Past

A dark past that I thought would last.
The feeling that I wanted to die.
The feeling I wish it was all a lie.
The feeling that I would.
The feeling that I should.
The feeling of regert from doing so,
and the marks of hurt that I hate to show

Should I?

Should I hold on
instead of letting go?
Should I say somrthing
instead if going with the flow.
Should I be strong?
Should I go on?
Should I have hope
instead of crying?
Should I try to
cope instead of dying?
