Is it wrong to want to be loved?To be admired, to be adoredJust to know that your love for me is secure? I want to melt in the warmth of your embraceI want to be dazzled by the smile on your faceI want to be your angel sent from aboveIs it too much to want to be loved? All I want is for you to satisfy my needYou mean so much more than the world to meJust bring me joy and end my sorrowYou’ve pierced my heart with Cupid’s arrow…

I’m on the edgeOn the very tipOf a mountainFull of emotions SuspendedThrough timeAnd space,Like pressing a buttonEverythingIs suddenlyPut on hold. Don’t knowHow I feelDon’t knowWhere I’m goingAm I happy or sad?Going up or downI’m just suspendedIn thin airNothingTo hold on toNo oneTo depend on. I feel myself slippingSlowly the rocks crumbleUnder my weightBut never falling. I’m just thereOn the edgeOf a mountainFull of emotions.

Why am I so quiet?Do you really want to know?I have several reasonsFor keeping my mouth shut Why am I so quiet?Because I was told over and overAs a childThat children should be seenAnd not heard Why am I so quiet?Because it is writtenIn the BibleThat women must remain silentIn the church Why am I so quiet?Because I’m afraidIf I open my mouth to talkI may say something really stupid Why am I so quiet?Because I’m afraid if I open my mouthI might revealSomething someone told meIn secret Why am…

Read MoreSacrifices
Last week I wrote about making sacrifices in order to reach your goals. In this blog post, I decided to write a poem about sacrifices. A few years ago, I wrote a poem about making sacrifices. I thought about all the things we sacrifice to develop ourselves, to help others, to make more money and to be successful. If the thing that we are working towards is important to us, then it is most certainly worth making the sacrifice to get to where we want to be. We make sacrifices…
