This one is called I Wait, it's kind of depressing and I really have no idea what I was thinking about when I wrote it O.O But even so, I like it ^.^
[SPOILI]I Wait
Morbid Fascination
Wait For Hours Coming
They Play
Chilling To The Bone
Play Their Sullen Music
She Sits
Eerily Still And Soundless
Sits While Death Departs
He Cries
Silent Into Dark Halls
Cries For Mother's Love
I Wait
Morbid Fascination
Wait For Hours Coming[/SPOILI]

Okay~
Next one is called I'm Okay. It's kind of a downer too, but I find myself feeling this way sometimes, and decided one day to just get my thoughts out on paper.
[SPOILI]I say I'm okay,
And I smile every day,
Though inside I am not,
For my heart has been shot,
There is nowhere to turn,
And these secrets they burn,
Still, I hold them back,
No one sees through my act,
Though I shed not a tear,
I just want you to hear,
Everything that I hide,
It has shattered my pride,
Left on my soul an ache,
Makes my heart, with pain, quake
And I just want to cry,
Can't you see? It's a lie!
All these smiles,
They're so vile!
Yes these words always stung,
On the tip of my tongue,
Begging outward to flee,
Make the world finally see,
And though I want to scream
I won't…silence it seems
Is my only way
So I say…I'm okay

And Finally!
My dad left us a long time ago, and right after he left, I was so angry and hurt, that this just came to me one evening. It was the first time I sat down and wrote an entire poem in one sitting. I've always been very proud of this peom, and I still am. It's called A Father's Job.
[SPOILI]He's Not Supposed To Leave
It's Not A Father's Job
He Is Supposed To Be There
For His Children And Their Mom
When His Daughter Scrapes Her Knee
While Riding On Her Bike
When His Baby Cries Out Due To
Bad Dreams In The Night
A Father's Job's To Be There
From The First Day To The Last
Because His Baby's Life Is Going To
Go By Way To Fast
He Blinks And It's Her First Date
Again And It's Her Prom
Too Soon He Realizes That
His Baby Is Long Gone
But If He Isn't There For It
What Does It Really Mean?
His Daughter's Life Is Changing
But He's Nowhere To Be Seen
He Blinks And His First Grandchild
Is Staring Up At Him
Her Innocent Eyes Reminding
Of That First Day Again
But If He Isn't There For It
What Does It Really Mean?
This Baby's Life Beginning
Again He's Nowhere To Be Seen
Now He's On His Final Bed
Retracing Through His Life
He Knows He Should Have Been There
Through The Good Times And The Strife
His Kids Grew Up Without Him
He Left Them All Behind
Now They're Nowhere To Be Seen
Just Like Him In Their Lives
As He Starts To Close His Eyes
He Sees An Angel's Face
She Smiles At Him And Tells Him
"Daddy, It Will Be Ok"
He Cries because he knows her,
It is His Baby Girl
Her Face will be The Last Thing
He Will See Here In This World
She Says He'll Go To Heaven
Although He Wasn't There
For Her God Is Wonderful
And Also Good And Fair
She Tells Him She Forgives Him
For Not Being In Her Life
For Homecoming And Prom Night
Or When She Became A Wife
For School And Graduation
Or To Help Pick Out A Home
Or Being There That Hard Night
Her Baby Girl Was Born
She Tells Him That She Loves Him
But Now It's Time To Sleep
His Heart Feels Like Its Breaking
It's Ripping At The Seams
But His Baby Girl Forgives Him
His Life Is Now Complete
He Finally Closes His Eyes
And Forever Goes To Sleep
His Little Girl Looks Down At Him
Though He No Longer Sees
She Kisses Him On The Forehead
And Whispers "Goodnight Daddy"[/SPOILI]
