Anger In Young Hearts

by

Jennifer Melise

Anger in young hearts is deadly
Living raw and violent acts is their medely
Full of selfishness and rage
They think they contain to much knowledge for their age
They think their only way through life is acting tough
Knocking people away when things get to rough
Feeling they only have on life to live
Getting what they want through sin
Don't trust anyone and don't let anyone in
Never smile only allow a grin
Evil shows in their eyes
Expect the unexpected they live on suprise
And jail time is usually a must
They are not hard unless they were behind bars of rust
No hearts and no emotions
Only live for a few devotions
Alcohol and weed, Money and respect
God help you if disrespect they detect
Pain and frustration they are used to
And hearing shots and seeing blood is nothing new
Violent pasts and criminal acts
makes the unthinkable their lifes facts
I always have my hand out to help
But learning I can't do it by myself
When can we all get together
to help young hearts for the better
Before theaseyoung souls burn
we have to help them learn
There is help for them
And there is love right near them
We need to do it now before they get life upstate
or even worse before they meet their maker at the gate

Definition Of Me

by

Jennifer Melise

Welcome to the world where sleep becomes confusion
Where you can't pick reality from delusion
Where souls abandon, Sleep now walks
Creeping above to watch myself sleep
Not relaxed but I still fall deep
Allowing the heavens to tell me story as the thoughts start to creep
Following the words called on the wind
Dark halls reflecting sin
Showing pictures even though not always clear
Almost like a fable giving you a moral through one single tear
Forced to see, the reality of past deeds
Unlocking new light, is the offer I see
Is it wise to accept
I don't know, Is it what I should see? Should I reject?
The wind whispered one more time
Come take my hand, Come lets unwrap this vine
Don't be afraid it speaks, you may like what you find
We are only taking a journey through are own mind
Allowing the vine it started to unwind
To search those secret caves of our own mind
We search things you feel now, and the feelings you had
But please remember to take the good with the bad
All this made you, You can no longer ignore
Right where you are, Walk in the open door
Use your instinct feel the pleasure and the pain
Enjoy the sun but please understand the rain
Soaked in memories, I dare not change
Drenched in dreams they rearrange
Water from the rain helps my confusion
I got to keep my head on straight so I know what I am doing
The haze begins to fade, Only part now covered in shade
Turning the tide, with arms open wide
I have made up my mind, I will accept what lies unclear and dark
Because I feel the gain of more light in my heart
Dreamings new definition to me is a journey through my inner self
Comfortable at last, Free to be myself

I Believe

by

Jennifer Melise

I always knew I held more strength then I thought

Because of you I was taught
Expansion of my love, my life, my faith
Living to gain , learning not to waste
I knew you were there God, But I was blind
Enlightened by your love, You gave more strength to my mind
Vision brought back more clear
Enhancment of my soul, More faith, less tears

Words From Your Soul

by

Jennifer Melise

Can you feel my pressence when I'm not around?
And when you think of me does your heart pound?
Me not being human but me being your soul
I am the one that makes your person whole
I am the extension cord that plugs your mind with your heart
And I am the one that sheds the light when you feel in the dark
I keep you fighting, I keep you strong
I give you praise and make you feel you belong
I speak to you through instinct, I tell you what you need to know
I am a survivor of many lifetimes with wisdom to help you grow
Me and you we equal one
And when you feel you lost, I know you won
Understand I am with you acknowledge me at times
I don't want any thank yous, Just know its me when I show you the signs

My Life

by

Jennifer Melise

Emotions running wild
Decisions and opinions on trial
Everybody wants to tell me the role that I'm playing
And everybody wants to judge what they have no say in
They want me to be who they want me to be
But in the process not allowing me to breathe
A life full of criticism and allegations
I guess its only a good if I live up to their expectations
Do you want to take my hand and guide me through this life?
It might be easier for me but it still don't make it right
I like the struggle, I like the fight
I like to know it was me who got me through the night
As they criticize, I visualize
I like to see it before I hold it
And like to know what it might become before I mold it
I wanna build my own life from scratch
and lay my own eggs and watch them hatch
All I wanna do is be me
And all I ask from you is that you allow me to breathe
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the help through some
Struggles and fights
But please let me live and remember this is my life

My Inner Voice

by

Jennifer Melise

Damn I can't see straight

And I'm slipping, Finding it real hard to hold my weight

With my vision getting more and more hazy

I'm starting to feel like I'm going crazy

"But come on Jen try and maintain"

"Try real hard to use your brain"

I really am trying

To prevent my soul from dying

With another obsticle trying to hold me

and another drama trying to fold me

"Look up Jen, See the light"

"Its God telling you to keep up the fight"

And as I wipe the tears from my eyes I say

yes I do see

And the same I do believe

"Jen do you need more strength? Please let me know"

Yes just a little I need to get back on my toes

Please don't let me fall like a bunch of dominoes

"Never that Jen, I will hold you down"

"Believe in me your Inner Voice I will always be around"

Now a smile crosses my face and as my muscles tighten

Thank you Inner Voice for keeping me fighting

And thank you for putting me back on my feet

And another drama helping me to defeat

"You are very Welcome Jen"

"Just look to me when you need help again"

Alright then now I know I made the right choice

Good Night and much love to my inner voice
