HOPE
Struggling for that sigh of relief
Toss and turn, lose another night’s sleep
Pray to God with
all of your might
Dream that everything is alright
The nights are uneasy, so cold, and long
The days are somber,
everything seems wrong
Put on a happy face and drag your feet
The sky moves on, never missing a beat
A thick black
cloud lingers above your head
It’s a vicious life, so it has been said
Until the one day
When it seems ok
Looking
out the window you see an opportunity
It is no longer a world of pain and misery
Your prayers have been rewarded
Your
dreams can be afforded
The shoulders feel a little lighter
The future looks a whole lot brighter
You held on and
you made it through
This feeling is long overdue
Take off the mask and smile proud
Celebrate, party, and be loud
Never
lose faith, never lose hope
Search for a way that you can cope
Turn to those around you
But whatever you do
Don’t
lose your faith, and never lose hope

Miracles
"Children are innocent and love justice, while most adults are wicked and prefer mercy."
In miracles I do believe
The wonders of the World
The
flowers in the ground
So delicately placed
Little seeds of happiness
Bringing joys by day
Whirlwinds of excitement
Do you believe
In miracles
They give someone a feeling of worth
You may have lost
your childhood innocence
And replaced it with knowledge and mercy
Maybe you
lost yourself in the tragedy we call life
Too busy to realize the small things
That
can change your world
In the blink of an eye
But I still have mine
I still believe
In miracles
--Dannah--
Fantasy
You know my :{values}:
You respect my ‘-‘morals’-’
I’ve
got the “I can’t have you” blues
My
*love* for you grows in intervals
My ~fantasies~ are
filled with you
You’re always ((stuck)) on my mind
::Baby:: there are so many things that I wanna do
When you leave me I just wanna press <<rewind>>
Not .|.soon.|. enough can we be on our next date
I hope you have the ^patience^ that I do
Because
my ||fantasies|| are going to have to wait
But Honey
know that I’m +madly+ in love with you

The good old days
My good old days
Weren’t all that good
Their relationship was just a phase
She gave him everything
she thought she should
She tried to raise me best
My sister tried to care for me
But after a few years they both
lost interest
And that’s when my daddy began to see
Secrets, lies, and nothing’s right
My daddy knew
he wanted me
I’d hear them fight in the late, late night
So he fought to win custody
I was scared with nobody
to comfort me
Questions were asked and pictures were drawn
I told them all that I loved my mommy
I was their little
game piece, their little pawn
My daddy finally won the fight
And to my mommy I had to say good bye
I would silently
cry in the middle of the night
I didn’t want to leave, but I see now that was a lie
I miss my mommy and love my
daddy
I hate my daddy when we fight
And I think of how my mommy treated me badly
But then I thank God before I fall
asleep at night
He got me out of that Godforsaken place
I see the past and look to the roads ahead
He has helped
to put a smile on my face
I thank him for where I have been led
So my good old days my not have been great
I’m
sorry that it had to happen
I was going down hill at a fast rate
But I think of how much worse it could have been
I
look to the future and forget the past
My good old days weren’t the best
But my future days are going to last
I
want to go on living, and forget the rest

Here For You
I never saw you were feeling this way
The emptiness was covered by a smile
Who knew?
I was gone but I am here now
For
you
Talk to me, tell me what I can do
It stings me to see you hurting
You’ve always been
good at pretending
But I’ve always been able to see
This one has slipped through the cracks
But now I am here
Give me the paint
Make your smile real
No need to be afraid
I am here for you now
I can be the place
Where you go to be unafraid
No need to try any longer
Here, cry on my shoulder
Because
I am here for you now
~*~Dannah~*~
Dedicated to: Cat. The (second) best cousin in the world! (hehe) If you
ever need someone to talk to you know who to come to! Love you.
Missing
There is an emptiness inside of me
It never goes away
I hope
that nobody else can see
The void is here everyday
I want to feel this loneliness no longer
In
the past my feelings I have told
But trying to ignore it only
makes it stronger
This feeling is really getting old
The day will come when we meet again
And
I just cannot wait
Let the reminiscing begin
I am already starting to anticipate
The
pain of missing you is terrible
I just want to make it go away
It’s becoming almost unbearable
But
I know that it is here to stay
You have left your mark on me
It is here forever
I’m
not crazy, I hope that you can see
You are going to get rid
of me never
You’ll come
I
know you will
Then we’ll have some fun
However, I will miss you still
No
matter how bad things get
Or how far the distance between us
I will be a friend to you yet
And
even if they think I’m nuts
There will be an emptiness
inside of me
It will never go away
I don’t care if everyone can see
Then
they’ll know the void gets bigger everyday
~*~Dannah~*~
Dedicated to: Mrs.VandeWalle. Thank you for being
there for me. Love you.
Thank You
No one really knows the bond that we share
When I try to explain they just don’t understand
They
don’t realize just how much I care
But I know that we have the upper hand
You have always lent me your ear
An
impression of your hand is left on my heart
Now I want you to know that I am always here
Because you’ve been there
for me from the start
No words could ever repay
No expression could ever show
From the start what I have been trying
to say
I just wanted to make sure you know
I treasure your friendship like gold from the ocean
Your words dig deeper
than you could ever imagine
No one knows exactly how it began
I can’t even begin to fathom
No matter how our
story ends
You have already rewritten mine, this is true
Because I know you and I will always be friends
Now I would
like to say thank you
~*~Dannah~*~
Dedicated to: Mrs.VandeWalle.
What is love?
Love is:
Sweet and sour
Dark and light
Every minute and every hour
Will power and might
Warm and cold
Family and friends
Young and old
From the beginning and to till the end
Seeing and doing
Silence and noise
Listening and learning
Little girls and little boys
Forever and ever
Knowing what to say and what to do
Now and ends never
Me and you
~*~Dannah~*~
Looking Deeper
I tell you everything
But it never seems as though I’m through
Each day seems to bring
A thought that’s crazier and new
I
read your e-mails
And can’t help myself from
Looking for any hidden details
That might have overcome
I try to see beyond
If there’s something
you’re not saying
Something to secure this bond
Formed from the game that
we’re playing
Why do I feel the need to look so deep
I can’t just
stay at the surface
My mountain of thoughts is so steep
And I think that every
thought has a purpose
I’ll tell you everything and more
But it never
seems as though I’m through thinking
Each day seems to bring more than before
A
thought that’s crazier and new before I’m done blinking
~*~Dannah~*~
Without You
What is it that you want from me
Do you want me to be everything that
I can be
During these years we have grown farther apart
Even though I still
have love for you in my heart
You are my family
Without you I would be in agony
I try to tell you all of my dreams
But you don’t approve is all it seems
I do all I can to keep the time passing
And when I look out of the corner of my eye I see
you laughing
Do you believe in me
Because if it’s true, I really cannot
see
I just want your support, that is all
To know you will be there to catch
me if I fall
You tell that I’m crazy
You mention that I’m lazy
Just wait until the day
Then tell me what you have to say
I have
others that surround me
And give me the confidence to see
That I can do it all
without you
I will prove to you what I can do
I am hoping that maybe then you
will be proud
And I’m thinking that that is allowed
So no matter where
I am destined to
I will know that I got there without you
~*~Dannah~*~
Note: This poem was not written to be mean to anyone.
Remembering
Feeling down, overworked, a little depressed?
Well someone's
here to make you happy that you might have guessed
Me! Remember me, from back in the day???
School work was easy, there was time to laugh and play
Life can be surreal
passing you by without a care
Should you try to stop it, or do you not dare?
All
of a sudden, with the wink of an eye
Life is a burden and you don't know why
Take
time to smell the coconut beans
Love yourself by any means
"Remember
the happy moments when life was carefree. . ."
Wake up girl! It's time to be what you are and
will always be
A daughter, a mother, a wife, a friend, and devotee
Changing
someone's life thoughtlessly
Though you are gone the memories will stay
The
day you come back will be a happy day
Until then, know that you are not forgotten
Remember the days, when you are feeling rotten
That I am here missing you
And all of what you've left with me is true
~*~Dannah~*~
Dedicated to: Mrs.VandeWalle. How many times can I possibly say thank you--Not enough!
No words can express how much I appreciate your friendship. Love you.
My Dream
Who has the right to tell me what’s right and wrong?
Who are they to tell me what I can and cannot
do?
What and what not to dream
To set boundaries around my capabilities
There’s a whole new world out there!
God,
just let me go!
I’ve got to break free
And see what’s waiting for me
The lengths of my sweet anticipation
Have
turned into whirl winds of bitter anguish
If I could collect all my tears and drown my insecurities
I would not need
their precious reassurance
The vivid daydreams in my mind
Make it all seem oh-so real
So real that I can almost
touch it
And as my fingers wrap around it
It slowly slips away
And the vicious cycle starts again
~*~Dannah~*~
Longing
Some things just weren’t meant to be
But I want it oh-so badly, can’t you see?
She’s
been gone for way too long
And I just want to see her...is that so wrong?
So give me the box of Kleenex
I’ll
do what I do best
Sit and remember her like I always do
And think to myself, "If only she knew..."
~*~Dannah~*~
