Even Angels Need A Helping HandEvery human that will walk this earth
Has a purpose and has a worth
From birth to grave, from life to death
Until they breathe their very last breath
Their path is laid out before them

Some are destined to help others
To act as parents, sisters and brothers
To bring light into a vast sea of darkness
Working to the bone and never less

Others might be tasked to sit on the sidelines
Waiting and watching for tell-tale signs
Helping without face-to-face interaction
Discerning what help to give from other's actions

Then there are the Angels, the light givers
Their love all-encompassing like a grand river
It is their nature to help a
I Miss My FriendYou know, I always thought you'd be my friend
I never thought what we had would ever end
But everything changed when I told you about him
And now everything is bleak and grey and grim

I took a risk and told you he likes me for who I am
And yet you couldn't so much as give a damn
You were mad that I was 'leaving you' for this boy
You made me feel like nothing more than a toy

I confided in you, felt safe with you, and I miss you
But whatever we had is apparently through
So you can ignore my pain and ignore my fear
Ignore how I happy and carefree I may appear

Don't look for my love for you lost that long ago
Because it is the truth
Something to Live ForAn angel filled with dread
Her beating heart has bled
Tears fill her loving eyes
And yet she refuses to cry

An angel with a golden heart
Her pain impossible to tell apart
Wrists drip with crimson blood
Staining skin soft as a flower bud

She looks across the night sky
Wanting nothing but to fly
Invisible wings eager to break free
Her heart screams like a banshee

But her thoughts linger on her family
Her friends and family who she might never again see
They love her more than she might ever comprehend
Love that will forever and for always transcend

The blade drops and tears begin to fall
The sadness begins to wash away, sadness
The Ghost Of Words.Everyone knows it, that blank page, laid bare on the ground,
The Ghost of Words, it constantly follows me around.
That blank page, whenever you come to write, is waiting,
It always seems happy to be filled, and yet continues resisting.
 
That blank page, I see it everywhere, a bare wall, an empty frame,
It's waiting for me to fill it, it hounds me, and it puts me to shame.
There is a constant fear, that one day I will not have the words to fill it,
I'm not scared of much, but the Ghost of Words has deemed me unfit.
 
One day, I will no longer be able to satisfy this Ghost's hunger,
Will it finally stop hounding me then though, I wonder?
This Ghost of Words, breathing down my neck with my every step,
It awaits to be filled, hounding me and making me savour each breath.
Never OnceNever once did I think that I'd be like those other girls
That I'd want to get married and have a baby with curls
And though I want it so much, who wants to stand there?
Who wants to hold me and run their hands through my hair?

I never thought I'd want to actually get married some day
That I'd want to stand up front and throw back a bouquet
But I shall wait for that day, to stand up there with my man
I'll wait to have a house, a family, maybe one of those vans

In the darkness, he'll take me in his arms and we'll dance
I do want all of it, so someday I will take that chance
But for right now I will wait for someone that really cares
You are the Moon and I the SunWe are two people
And yet we are one
You are the moon
And I am the sun

In a perfect circle we move
Without the other, we break
As the world crumbles around us
We know the the other is not fake

You are the moon and I the sun
And together we do beat as one
Is it my turn yet?I know the thought of seeing you some day
Might be, to some, a bit too cliché
But I know that when I finally find you
You're the only one I'll ever look to

One day, maybe soon, you'll take my hand
And take me on a long walk in the sand
And then we'll go dancing in the rain
Then you'll take me and kiss away my pain

You'll ensure that I have nothing to fear
I will be known to you as honey or dear
Someday, our paths shall run together
With you, there is nothing I cannot weather

They say everybody falls in love someday.
Is it my turn yet?
No Clearer Than MudThere is so much pain, so much hurt
Too many of the good are treated like dirt
I try and try to help, to take some pain away
So many people will never see the new day

Humans are a terror to their own race
We spread our diseases all over the place
We kill our children, rape our women
And the guilty are punished only now and then

When was it that people were ashamed of their own kind?
When did we get to be so ignorant and blind?
To kill and rape and destroy our own blood
Is to say that the human race is no purer than mud

Those strong of heart and caring souls
To help those close begins to take its toll
Exhausted and worried to the
Who what when where why or how.You're just another faceless one, hidden in the crowd,
No one cares about you, or why you act so proud.
No one knows who you are, you're just another face,
You could just disappear without a trace.

The blood red sky in your mind's eye,
It's always there but you don't know why.
You're just a part of a bigger whole,
And your heart is as black as coal.

You play dress-up with your top hat and cane,
But you can take it off and disappear again.
You're never noticed no matter what you wear,
It's a source of their contempt and your despair.

You could just disappear right now,
No matter who what when where why or how.
Healing HugsLaying in the bed,
I listen to the moans.
The sound of the dying.

The shadows hide me,
So I can be alone.
Try to take care of myself.
To get myself back to my feet.

It's not a sickness,
or a wound,
But a blow to the heart.

The shattered hearts laying on the floor,
surrounded by the pieces of souls.
Tread on by the visitors,
Only caring about their own.

I watch the world go by,
As I lay here,
Frozen in time.
Ever since you broke my heart.

Waiting for Time to heal me,
But she passes by everyday.
Sometimes stabbing me along the way.

I cried out for help,
But most just went on their way.
Not wanting to see another cripple.
No Father on Father's DayIt was Father's Day and I stood in the back of the class
I was young and stood alone, waiting for my turn as I was last
I look over at all the other dads and played with my hair
My name was called – no more time to prepare

I stepped in front of them all and they sighed
"Why is there no father by that girl's side?"
"Probably just another deadbeat who can't even come."
I looked up at them and smiled back at my mum

"My daddy couldn't come today but I know he wish he could,
He doesn't live with us anymore even, but I know he would-
He loved me very much and taught me a great deal,
He taught me to ride a bike and fly a kite, he had
Veterans are in my Heart and SoulVeterans – they are in my heart and soul
Whether they listen to rap or rock and roll
Veterans, they are all the same at heart
Even my mama and daddy played their part

Strong at heart, bold in nature, but still kind
Fighting until their last words are signed
Losing their limbs, their friends, their life
All to bring an end to this horrible strife

These Veterans I do so love for what they do
For freedom, there is nothing they won't go through
They will fight until they are finally called home
Be that home with their family or the twilight zone

And so I get rather riled up when they aren't respected
Do you know how much we'd be affe
The Pride of WordsI am an author, a poet, a writer, and a story-teller
I have a dream to become a New York best-seller
But why is this work unrecognized by most
Why can we hardly ever make the winning post?

I shall tell you why - the populous won't take the time
To take in the meaning behind the rhyme
They choose instead to look at a pretty picture
Why should they waste time to read boring scripture?

It takes less than a heartbeat to look at an image
Pictures of angels or pirates and their pillage
Yes, it takes longer to read a poem or story
But within the words lie the truth of glory

Pretty pictures may be quick to look at
Sure, you can draw a ha

The Rescue of Lady Riddle - Part One A distant booming woke me up from blessed sleep and, slightly annoyed, I turned over in bed to try to ignore the sound. Even as I tried to go back to sleep, that booming sound pounded against my eardrums and, with a heavy sigh, I swung my legs out of the hammock-like cot and looked out the small window that was at eyelevel when I sat in my cot. I was facing north and became puzzled when I saw flashes of light coming from the horizon. Curious, I hurriedly got dressed. I ended up wearing a pair of black tights, a white shirt with an elastic neckline that was pulled down to my shoulders and elbow-length poufy sleeves, a red under-bust vest that

Bullying: Another Life is Stolen

:iconsutsuki-sensei:

Making others feel worthless is what you do best
Then you go and claim it was all a joke, a mere jest
But your words mean more than you comprehend
Your words can lose somebody their dearest friend

Your jokes have taken another young life away
Now the day is bleak and a cruel shade of grey
Know that to obtain your one little power trip
Your victim will feel as if they are being whipped

So the next time you feel the urge to tease or play
Be sure to always remember what happened this day
Your torment stole a family member and friend
And for the family, there will seem to be no end

Stop the bullying before another young life is stolen from us…

Bullying: Another Life is Stolenby ~Sutsuki-Sensei

So...I learned today that a student at a local school committed suicide this morning. He was only fourteen years old. And he was bullied to the point where he couldn't take it anymore.

Kaci was fourteen when she attempted suicide. I wish somebody could have reached him in time too...

Please, stop the bullying...

Thank you very much for showing us an amazing poem with great moral to it. For all those people who've been hurt due to bullying....I hope the ones who still live won't end up like the ones who you've stated in your description.

We are people...not stones or "worthless dogs". This poem has an amazing impact and is eye-opening. Wonderful job :)

AWWWWWWWWW!! :iconrubcheeksplz: Thanks so much! It's been a pretty stressful and worrying week so your comment really means a lot. I posted this peom, as stated in the authors comments, that I wrote it after learning that a fourteen year old boy had killed himself because of bullying. I honestly can say I didn't expect to get so much feedback on it. But, again, thank you! And also, I love your icon.
