Whats up all my brothers and sisters?
Im Knicks15, but you can call me mister
I used to be a sinister
but now im healed like a blister
Jesus loves me!!! Everyday is lovely!!
The lord has touched me!!! I hope i touch you
I once thought without drugs, there aint much to do
I dont know how i ever could have thought such is true
Through God im touchin you, Im loving you
Todays a new day and a new year
My past? Lets not go there, Lets not compare
Future lookin bright like church lights
i used to work nights and look for some on the first night
I was average and typical til i found a new ritual
But its not just the ritual, its the relationship
Pray day and night, night and day
Might I say Ill let you go first like you got a right away
Mom, Ill clean my room right away
Feelin like im walkin at a different height today
A spiritual high is the greatest feeling
I used to be like "I hate this feeling"
Thats the feeling of depression and anxiety
but Jesus always kept an eye on me
and im thankful he did, I thank God daily
I wont beat you up if you dont pay me
But I will pray for you because someone prayed for me
When others walked by and ignored me
Thank you and I hope everyone likes this
Believe it or not, it only took 20 minutes to write this

Cries-within, I only read part of this first page of this thread. I don't know if anyone told you about the "Poor Man's Copyright"...
You make copies of your work,
put it in a sealed envelope,
You have the postmaster stamp it with the date stamp on the sealed flap.
You mail it to yourself.
Then you just keep it on file.

I just want to tell you that you certainly have a true artistic temperament. I can certainly relate. I
have done some of my best work in agony. I hope you aren't as depressed as you sound in your poems! Do I need to be concerned about you? I can hear you...really I can. I care...honestly I do.

"You"
You saved me from eternal turmoil
You accepted me as Your friend
I didn't accept Your friendship until I was 12
You comfort me when I'm crying
You feel my pain when I'm in pain
If You left me, I'd be nothing
You complete me
Even on my worst days I run to You
Your voice is the most comforting voice I've heard
It guides me through life
My life would be off-road without You
You are the reason birds sing
Mountains crumble at the sound of Your feet
A mustard seed grows when You touch it
A life gets saved when it is given to You
You don't with hold love
You spread it
I can't find any way to repay You
So here's words to You.

Hey Victory, I think I have heard about that copy right once before but I think I sort of forgot about it.

Writting....
its like breathing
thoughts on paper
appear on the page

like potter
you mold them
you shape them
forming them into pictures

for others to see
others to read
to create
which is within


i don't know if i'd say if I'm depressed really I was there once and I wouldn't say I'm quite at the point yet anyway. i hope I don't go there again.


anyways here is another poem on my thoughts on something that I am truly not good at.


sports
athletics i try i fail
i try again go no where fast
i just don't get it
i just can't do it

discipline fails me here
torturous in nature
is this thing
i try i fail
i just don't get it
i just can't do it

Heeeeyyy, Cries-within, go read the book "The Little Engine That Could"!!! If you WANT to do something bad enough, you can...if it is within your strength to do it! Remember... " 'I can't' never did anything". Watch the confession of your mouth! The Bible says a good man will always get up one more time than he falls down (paraphrased). I make it a point to be like a Weeble..."Weebles wobble, but, they don't fall down"! I know that there is enough stuff that the Lord wants me to do, so, I shouldn't concern myself with what I can't do. I trust that He will give me the ability and the strength to do whatever HE wants me to do. Don't focus on the negative, my friend. Keep your eyes on JESUS! He is the Author and the finisher of you and your life. I am just now learning to "fly"...It is a major battle getting out of that cocoon!!! We don't fail until we quit. Winners never quit, and quitters never win. I've got a million of 'em! Always remember that it is all about GOD'S timing! He wants to put us through the trials first so that we can properly handle our prosperity when He finally can trust us with it.
Keep up the good work!

Like shadows of the night
when the break of day shines through
the new day dawns
shadows they run for cover and disapear
fade away


chorus

I stand in the sun
cuz the night is over
I stand in the sun
cuz the night is no more

though apart of me fights to hide
fights to be in the dark
it holds me no more
cuz I don't belong there
cuz I am yours....

chorus

so shadows run and hide
things of darkness
you lost your hold
though I may stumble in the grey
I don't belong there any more

yes I am yours....
cuz I am yours....
I belong to the light
so I stand in the sun
cuz the night is no more
I am yours oh Lord


Lol just thought of this... been really busy with homework as of late... for some reason tonight this came to me.

Just wanted to share a poem I wrote last summer, when I had some misunderstandings between two other people and myself... via email. Go figure.

I am sharing this here today to help remind all of us to remember to.... Be Nice.

Email's Delight or Plight?
~ Timothy <><

In blissful glee or unwanted quandary
I wax poetic as I hang out my laundry.
To wit and wisdom I sometimes do fail
But I try my best when I write an email.
My keyboard is graced with all finger's charm
It is my sincere intent to never cause harm.
So in all of the emails I offer to you
I give it my heart as the only thing I can do.
The words I use are not meant to be glib
And I promise I will never tell you a fib.
I have chosen this format to correspond with you
So cheerful acceptance is the best thing to do.
Your reply is not an endeavor defeated
But a nasty response is hastily deleted.
Email is quite known to be void of emotion
So use those emoticons to avoid a commotion.
It is also a wonderful means of communication
Please don't misuse it for evil convocation.
Please accept these thoughts with the spirit intended
God gave us each other, so let's not be offended.


-----------------------------------------------------------

To put an extra special ending to my poem, go ahead
and sing the Hallelujah chorus twice. It really adds
a lot of zip, vim, vigor, and vitality to it! Plus, it'll just
make you feel a whole lot better after having done so.

It may also help you to understand the poem better if you
remember that the word “laundry” is not necessarily always
in reference to clothing. Hmmm… How clever am I???
Read it again with this in mind and it will make more sense.

Its ok

uncertainty of tomarrow
hangs around me
a suffocating dense fog
worries and cares

questions plague me
hidden answers
its blurry picture
how the pieces will fit

for a moment
in prayer
lay it down at your feet
then i remember

you know the picture
all i see are the pieces
you know tomarrow
i don't

so with this
i release with a sigh
for a moment
its ok

though i still seek
to find the answers
i know at some point
i'll find them...

at least for now
its not so bad
the worry and cares
aren't so heavy

at least
i know someone
who knows the end
the end result to the picture

the pieces that I see
the questions i have
that he has the complete picture
In the end its ok

I think your writing style is growin' on me.


And reading the last couple of posts you've shared here... I can tell that God is doing such a sweet work in you. I like the voice of yours that is coming through.

A poem for a friend's passing:

There's no way to say goodbye
There's no avenue for release
And I have no words
No tears
But I feel a loss of something
that I hadn't known myself to possess

So young and so devoted
So swiftly swept from life
You were so far away before
but none so far as gone forever

From in my arms to in my prayers
from continent to continent
from matter to spirit and
from earth into eternity

And the degrees of separation
compell me to suppress
the questions of your passing
though I want to know
the hows and wheres and whys of leaving

So long.

I stand before the judge
She is harsh
She is cruel

Her punishments
she seems to not know mercy
and in the end
I stand and take it

willingly
i wait for the pain
welcoming the cruelness
of the words and thoughts
she sends my ways

what have I done wrong you ask
simple bystander
oh what have I ever done right?
truthfully answer me this

so who is the judge ....
do we dare unmask her
oh if you haven't guessed it
she is me



sometimes the worst judges are ourselves.

To die for country to to self
live for the fight or for love only
which be more noble
only One can judge
whether in chaos of war
or sins of a free society
how honorable is sacrifice
how sacred is purity
both share an uncertain future
soon to be the present
when illusion and truth
no longer merge
man-made and God inspired
with all that remains
to be split in twain-
'All is vanity'
shouts the fool...
whispers the sage.

ode to my english class

Oh what frustration is this

That I so uncapable so stupid

So weak of mind

That I am nothing



You don't wish to help

I am nothing but faults

but oh what's this

I am untaught.....



Consider the years of reading

No grammar in my teaching

None for what they taught me

For this that is so little used

It escapes me



So I am foolish

I am an idiot

I can't write or speak

In way that makes you happy



I am but a foolish wretch

I am not worthy to speak

To say a word

You can't see past my mistakes



So you no longer hear me

I am doomed to fail

If to pass I can't see how

if by this I utter it once more



to my words they are foolish bable

unknown to you, you don't see past it

i am just a foolish idiot

to withdraw I would have been wise



but now I am doomed to find it out

what do I do oh wretched fool

oh wretched heart can take this no more

for what to say you never listen



so I will stand in the midst of this

take my beating and try once more

in another class in another day

when i won't be such a fool as this



if that were to be so....

if that were to be so...

no its true

i am just a wretch a stupid idiotic fool



i am not my worth in words

i am not to you

_ old poem, but hey sometimes it still fits... i know its also rather melodramatic.. I was having a bad day that day. LOL sometimes that's a really good time to write. ;)

while this may not be true... I'm beginging to feel invisible on here.


if I could say it
If my mouth could form the word
my lips and tounge are paralyzed
immovable and speechless

though my eyes may be betray me
I try to conceal it through the smiling mask
someone may find it
if they saw and not just glanced at me

my thoughts scream it
to the point i wonder if they are heard
if they speak for themselves
without physically saying a word

in seeing me you see it
i hear you mutter a question
my answer to it is that I'm ok
to my anguished grief

so the loneliness it continues
the muffled screams the silent pleas
i turn away knowing if you saw me
for too much longer you would truly see it

i fade into the surroundings
lost in the scenery
i am not here
i am unseen

would streaks of red
change your vision
would i be visible
would a loud scream

turn your eyes
would u hear the plea
do you see
do you hear

my eyes tell it all
if you only cared to look
without a word
you might read it there

just like you i am hoping
longing for what no one seems to offer
little friendship, little compainionship
to feel like i'm not alone

yet you just walk the other way
i am but a ghost
some invisible figure
not seen or heard

what would i have to do
to get you to see me
what would i have to say
to get you to listen

will i be this invisible form
is this my plot in life
i ... never mind
what's it matter

its uselss
so i'll fade away
you won't know it
you won't even realize it

even if you do
it'll be way to late
because its over
then what?

“Michael”
Michael with eyes the color of dark chocolate
Michael who won’t go down without a fight
Michael the hockey star
Michael the football star
Michael with confidence
Michael with too much confidence
Michael with an ego the size of Texas
Michael who will play for the Lightning out of high school
Michael who will go to Boston College if not straight pro
Michael who won’t quit changing his mind
Michael a heart-throbber
Michael determined to win at all costs
Michael with dreams of being a famous hockey player
Michael who says what’s on his mind
My brother, Michael

here is a couple of poems i thought you might like that i have written.


Are you there, watching over us
can a prayer do so much
Is a good thing sometimes bad
Who can help us, who to trust
Is there angels all around us
I would like to see for sure
Something peaceful, that understands us
Is it dream or is it pure.

Away all the nightmares
To hell with me not with you
Away all the stress, fear and anxiety
Go back to the shadows and
Reflect past gone glories
From darkness in to light on
The fall of a sword
And the strength that I still have
Will be used to great measure
In this fight for redemption
In the eyes of the lord

I liked the first one, but the second line of the second poem confuses me a little.
Just find it odd with the phrasing here.
quote:

To hell with me not with you

just wondering...


Tomarrow is my 21st birthday

Time
morning is ending
it is drawing towards noon
long gone are days
of child's play

the sun is rising high
soon it will be noon time
long gone are days
of teenager moods

while a part of me weeps
at the thought of all these things
wanting that care free days
but having no choice

morning is ending
it is drawing towards noon
time flies faster and faster
days to weeks, months to years

then it will be past noon
then it will another chapter
another time from now
so different and full of responsibility

morning is ending
its drawing towards noon
sands of time slip through fingers
quicker and before you know it

to take this pain


to bring some gain out of the moment


the torrent of tears
threatens to drown
the new song
that is

the old song
sung

choked out

squeezed through

the moment


heal me

hold me tight



break

through the angry, ugly

LIES

that want to smother

the light



thank You
for the mercies
new

and for the song

that rises again

despite the pain

beautiful Elena...


i know not what lies ahead
all i see is the next moment
tomarrow is simple fantasies

for it is shadows of the future
fantasies that are dreamt up
when lived and played out

they are often different
than first considered
this is tomarrow for it is always tomarrow

it is never now never today
what really is going to happen
it won't be known till its there

yesterdays are all gone
footprints are left but time erases them
they fade and only glimpses are left

today and now is what is
simple facts simple truth
reality all that is said here

i don't claim to have a real gift
is it when all you do is put thoughts to paper
i don't claim to have done anything really

when simply like all others
like sand blown across the land
it changes and comes it goes

time erodes it all
what will be left my words
they'll be forgotten and left unread and unseen

so what have i done
what have i done if anything
what mark have i left

what is there to say i was here
what is there to say i made a difference
when really there's nothing at all

now is all i have
so now i'll grab a hold of
this moment and live
