My Nobody

I had NOBODY to love me
NOBODY who cared
when i cried
NOBODY was there
there was NOBODy to trust
there was NOBODY to keep me warm
to protect me from the cold.
I had NOBODY to love my strengths
but also except my flaws
I had NOBODY to lean on
who was there to break my falls
Im so happy
Im so lucky
this is because...I found my NOBODY

Dear Mom

Hey mom its me.."your little gurl"
The one whom you've abandoned in this world
Ever since i was little i've learned to live without you
You've always let me down so now i always doubt you.
I cried for your attention, till i was blue in the face
but you and him drowned me in all of your disgrace
You never showed me compassion, you never showed me love
but now it came to bite you when push came shove.
Don't act like your the boss, you were never really there
Don't act like you know, when I know that you dont care.
Im just a stick of dynamite with a very very short fuse.
Im no longer your scapegoat,the one whom you abuse
Its all your fault you add fuel to the fire
Im done with your shit now im down to the wire!
but now im done cause it hurts to remember
p.s. oh! and when you get this......
dont respond back to sender!!!!
Sincerely,
Your no longer daughter!

Why

I dont know why i am who i am
I dont know why i dont give a damn
I dont know why i hate to be alone
I dont know why i hate my own home
I dont know why i always have to lie
I dont know why i always wanna cry
I dont know why my patience runs on empty
I dont know why but bitch dont tempt me!
I dont know why i think im so ugly.
I dont know why i love to be funny.
I dont know why my friends are my life
I dont know why i stay up all night
I dont know why i like to stand out
I dont know why when i talk i seem to shout
I dont know why i laugh my problems away
I dont know why bad memories seem to stay
I dont know why i fucking hate my dad
I dont know why i love making him mad
I dont know why i cant stand my mother
I dont know why i have an autistic brother (not in a bad way)
I dont know why i end up wit bogus guyz
I dont know why my dreams could reach the sky
I dont know why i listen to rock bands
I dont know why id rather sit than stand
I dont know why id trade a skirt for some jeans
I dont know why im always so mean
I dont know why i gave this poem a try
I dont know why im always asking why!!!

Grow Together

This Website was built from a personal Website in 2002 and got its own domain in 2003. When I built the personal Website it was hosted free without a domain. I launched the person Website because I had some important friends in my life and I had so many thoughts and interests to share with them. For an introvert like me, a Web space in modern days is like a girl's diary, collection of her favorite verses, of correspondence with her friends, the thoughts they exchanged ... is a space in her heart.
I didn't expect the Website would be so popular getting its own domain and become a theme Website. I still love this domain and Website the most although it's almost a charitable free service Website, in that it's my maiden Website. The uniqueness of this Website compared with other poetry Websites is probably at its purity.
Now the poems I wrote and translated and some favorite poems I collected at the very beginning are just a very small portion of this grand Website. Most poems are submitted by visitors who are so young and talented and those inspiring poems get 6 times comments from 30,000 visitors per month. Poets expressed their own feelings and also help express the similar feelings of readers; they communicated and become friends. I sincerely wish this Website is a cradle of future writers.
This free service is so welcome by visitors. To cover the hosting and domain expenses and the time I spend proofreading the poems and updating the Website, I implement some ads integrated with the site and avoid the popups. I also moved penpal and other sections to other Websites to make this Website focus on its main theme.
Recently I started to write Sponsored Reviews. I have a very close relationship with my readers, and I would rather guard my Website's reputation with honest points of view than hurting it with false opinions. Therefore, my reviews collect feedback for advertisers' products or services genuinely.
SponsoredReviews.com is a paid blogging system I'm happily dealing with. Apart from their unique and outstanding features and services that outrun their competitors, I appreciate the enterpriser's wise and contemporary business concept and earnest attitude. They care about advertisers and bloggers. They spend time summarizing a lot of resourceful tips to help the growth of advertisers and bloggers. We grow together and become stronger together.
The most impressive tips they selflessly present to bloggers are concentrated in their post called "27+1 Tips for Building and Maintaining a Blog Audience" and they encourage bloggers to add more to it every day.
I also would like to contribute one more tip. Since their first tip said, "... Try to find a segment of an industry that no one else covers, or at the very least, try to find a way to present your blog in a light that makes it stand out from everyone else’s on the same subject ... " I would like to perfect this tip in this way:
It's always wise and enjoyable to pick something you are fond of and good at than either "drifting with the current" or trying to walk on a road "less traveled". When you write something you enjoy, you write it in your own writing style and this makes your blog unique. Writing style is formed by personality; a certain percentage of readers will like your style just as they favor your personality. To find a road "less traveled", especially the one you are familar with, is somewhat difficult. The fewer competitors, the less audience; the more competitors, the more audience. The importance is that your content is unique, then, the fewer or more competitors, you always maximize your exposure, because your uniqueness makes you more competitive.
As an advertiser, if you think my blog content and writing style fit your appetite or my audience is the one you are looking for, or for any reason, you believe your investment is worthwhile, please find me at: SponsoredReviews and I'm pretty sure you will be happy and contented to deal with both SponsoredReviews and me.
This blog is interested in Review Exchange.

Everyone Needs Dad

I didn't ask to be brought here
I didn't ask for you
I was created from a love
Between my mommy and you.

Now here I sit with her
Just me and mommy you see
And where, oh where are you
Where could you be?

Not that it really matters now
I have my mommys love
You see, I feel her presence
And her love from up above.

No one needs a sperm donor
Everyone needs a dad
I am guaranteed to find one
He'll be the best I've ever had.

Someone to kiss my boo boos
And wipe my little tears
Someone who will give me hugs
And sing away my fears.

Someone who wants to love me
To live everyday for me
To long to hear those little words
"I love you, daddy."

Now, I know this isn't you
I don't know where you are
But just to let you know
One day I'll have my shining star.

A man who will love me regardless
Who's not like you and ran
I'll be proud to call him daddy
Because he can take it like a man.

- C. Crutchley

Devoted

I spent time thinking of you
And how much I love you
Hours and hours a day
Just staring into the blue
I spend days hoping you love me
And hoping you will see
That I love you
More than anybody
I spend weeks smiling
As you return one to me
I sparkle inside
I still hope you will see.
I spend my life thinking of you
And loving you forever
And just dreaming
How we go right together.
But then I realize
I'm just sadly devoted to you
Devoted to you

Oliver Days

I love you forever
And forever you will be
The one I love most
You mean the world to me
365 days a year
My love is unbelievable
I'm always thinking of you
Its undeceivable
Moments are precious
But love is forever
There's no limit to it
We go right together
I LOVE YOU OLIVER

Travel

Let's share one of the poems from my favorite poet Cory Jone of our Website. It's called "Your stray bullet"

Last night, we put on the cruise control
and switched on the autopilot

Travelled thru the night
just me and you
with the moon overhead

Caught by your stray bullet
I lost sight and direction
Caught by your stray bullet
I found a connection

We were in the presence of memories
flashing cameras
capturing moments

In a perfect world
there was no timeframe
In a perfect world
tomorrow wil have never come
...

Are you sometimes imagining such a night on a cruise during your trip in an exotic resort? You meet this mysterious girl at this perfect moonlit night, you feel a connection with the girl in your heart from an unexpected moment and you are lost in her stray bullet. The night is tranquil but your heart is beating fast. At such a night you forget time, everything everyone else around you and the night, the cruise, the girl become a still and gorgeous image on your mind and tomorrow is left behind.

Old Mice Creed

I used to pass on this old street
Where old men hang and talk sweet
Their truth and wisdom always make me sweat
No one dares to listen, no one gives a shit

Bullshit!
I'm too good for this!

Too proud, too wise, like mice
Before my life falls like dice…
Hit the bottom and roll over like ice
I'll take the mysterious advice

With weary eyes of dying mice
Regrets felt in the soft-spoken wise
A piece of Christ, a peace will rise
It's no surprise, takes a lot of sacrifice

Don't have to be crucified
Don't have to be terrified
Just find the right guide
And take the ride…

No matter how cursive the citywide
You'll always find your way in the countryside
Where simplicity and fulfillment derived
And real life hide in beautiful someone's side

I don't know how to get there
I'm just here listening
To the old mice creed
As I seat along the old street
Where I used to pass and say Bullshit!

Snow

Under a subdued sun,
Basking in its glory
Purity at it's best,
The snow tells a story.

I'm glanced at in awe,
As if a blooming flower,
The heavens, my origin,
I'm compared to shining stars.

My airs are always chilly,
My temperature frozen cold
I breathe mists of water,
And always play outdoors.

Passer-by's perceive me
As a stunning view,
Earth, my destination,
Rainbow is my hue.

The moon is my companion,
The trees sell me their souls,
I spread my white feathers,
Over plains, mountains and moors.

I'm trodden upon and molested
I'm shoved and heaped aside,
Yet humanity foresees my coming,
As the best of winter times.

- Sonia Doreen Paul

Life No Regret

To love another
you must first love your self...
but how do you love your self
when you are a stranger in your own eyes...
your greatest fear is your self...
waiting on a hero that will never come...
is it worth going on...
but if you look deep enough
you will see the truth...
that the hero lies in you...
life is not how hard it hits you down
it is whether you get back up again...
you can't always get what you want...
and you can't appreciate life until you've been burned...
stay in the race because you will only look back
and regret what might have been...BUT...
never regret anything that made you SMILE...

- Shy

Tears of Sadness

feeling sad
left out
not known why
now tears start
to fill my eyes with sadness
why did i deserve this pain
after spilling my feeling to you
i wait for your call
and your text
still nothing
i just fall asleep
feeling sad
hoping happiness
would come
after i wake up
but still no sign of you
longing
to hear your voice
to rescue me from this
tears of sadness
pain that you cause
waiting and waiting
as tears start
to roll down my face
i lie here
tears falling down endlessly
as sadness takes over once again
so i cry myself to sleep
hoping to feel better
when i wake.........
