As you all know...I don't ever repost my work...right now is a VERY difficult time for me and amidst my sorrw I must find some strength to continue to tomorrow...this helps and I just wanted to repost it. Hope you all don't mind...


A selfish hand holing an unforgiving knife
Cutting, so eagerly awaiting and end to all this strife
The bittersweet pain stung my tearfilled eyes
As I quickly scribbled my last good-byes

Burning tears flowed so easily to the floor
It didn't really hurt, my heart just let out a silent roar

Crimson drops now fell to a scary red pool
I remember it like yesterday, the air outside was so cool

This was it, I was starting to feel faint
The carpet now satuarated in this ugly red paint

The next thing I remember-waking up in a hospital bed
I guess I got lucky--at least that's what the doctors said

Mom's eyes and ocean full of pain and tears
They were all coming true; a parent's worst fears

I'm sorry mom, I dodn't m,ean to make you cry
I just truly deep inside really wanted to die

It was nothing you did, you were the perfect mom
Inside my heart was a ticking time bomb

Daddy hurt me very much when he left, you see
And with out my little family by my side I just wasn't me

The pain inside was way too intense
How could he just give me up?!!? It didnt make sense

I'm still your little girl mommy, and I always will be
I  guess they were right mom, I did get lucky!


Thank you all for reading! It means a lot!Just remember this one thing..."If nothing seems worth living for, it can't be well worth dying for either!"

what to say what to say?!? You are the best Janette!! I LOVE YOU to pieces! hehe I don't know what I would do with out you. I think you are about the only one I can talk to about Chris with out  hearing "get over him" or "you can do better, don't waste your time" because the truth is I don't want to do better I love him! But you are the only one who understands that! Thank you soo much for keepin with me through this all! I seriously think if I didn't have you through all of this, I would be very very depressed and seriously screwed right now! As for not going to the same school, I'm going to yours and you're going to mine!   I'll always be by your side whether it be physically or just mentally. So do not worry about that ok? and since I'm always by your side, you should probably shower with your clothes on!   You're the best girl! I Love you! Love Always ~*~Pryncess Jess~*~

Jess, I love your poem. I have a poem that I wrote a few years ago quite similar to this one and as soon as I fix my printer I'm gonna print this out so my boyfriend can read it. It would explain things to him that I don't think I can. I'm glad you re posted it because I didn't get to read it the first time it was up. Unfortunatly, not everyone gets lucky. Well, just thought you might like to know that your poem brought tears to my eyes and I've felt the same way. The reassurances of my boyfriend helped loads and I like this poem bundles.

Ah.... must say this was great poem....very well written and strong, but your message was the thing that made it so heartfelt. That must have been such a tough situation you were in....and it's a really grand person that gets through all of it and comes out to tell her story.....very beautiful.

Wow...this is an incredible poem. It brought tears to my eyes with each line i read. It was so intense and it brought visual pictures to my mind. It was so well written. That was such an amazing poem.

Thank you all so much for reading.

Allyssa~thanks so much for the kind words...you say you have a poem similar, I would like to read it if you don't mind...e-mail it if you like.  And as you say, not everyone does get lucky, and that makes me think about how sad it is b/c I know how truly happy I am that I did. Although I didn't think about it at the time. I'm happy my poem moved so much emotion in you...that's what wrioting is for...right?

Salma~This one came straight from the heart and couldn't be more real. And it was a tough situation! But I'm ok now and VERY happy to be alive! thanks for the kind words.

ShugarHigh~well then my work is done. Thanks for reading.

Hey again chica!  Yep my eyes are burning, but I'm a "tough girl" so I can't cry right? lol!  I can't say I've been through the same thing, but I can say that as for going through a tough time, as you know, I know the feeling.  I know everything happens for a reason, and in the end it all works out in some way or another, and you just gotta remember that.  Keep your chin up

Hello beautiful!  I'm so sorry that whatever is in your life would cause you to feel this way again.  You know what I said the first time that you posted this one and it still stands.  I have been gone for awhile without even a telephone but I am back now and you must know that I am here.  Even all the way from Chicago you have a friend who will listen and not pass judgement or be critical in any way.  You know this so don't hesitate to call me if you think that you are going to jump.  I'll do my very very best to catch you.

love yours truly

I think this is one of the best poems in Passions --- specially with what it talks about.  So, I'm bumping it "bump" so all can read it
