HORSES POEM
Horses aren’t just animals they are memories
They remind me of when I was young
Wild, free, nothing to worry about
Feeling the wind in your hair while running through the grass
Horses remind me of when I was a teen
Sometimes stressed and tired
But I continue to run and fight for what I wanted in life
Even when people are bringing me down
Horses remind me of when I was an adult
When I thought everything wasn’t going my way
I kept getting back up and trying
When my kids needed someone to look up to
I gave them the big beautiful horse that I am
Horses remind me of when I was old and grey
When I was getting tired, I kept getting back up
When I was about ready to die my heart kept beating
I keep fighting and trying because of the horse inside of me
TRAPPED
Do you feel Trapped?
Like life is just burying you inch by inch.
Do you feel like you can never escape?
Do you feel Trapped?
Like no one can hear you but you continue to scream.
Do you feel like you will never be okay?
Do you feel Trapped?
Like everyone is staring at you and you can’t get away.
Do you feel like you won’t ever leave?
Do you feel Trapped?
Like life is moving so slowly and everyone else says it moving faster.
Do you feel like it won’t speed up?
Do you feel Trapped?
Like no one cares what you think and they would laugh if you died.
Do you feel like nothing will ever change?
Do you feel Trapped?
That is the real question you should ask yourself:
Can you escape?
SUICIDE AWARENESS
Dear God,
Why do You let people Cut their wrists and throats
You say we have a purpose
But what is it?
People die every day
And never help them
I have seen so many people die
Especially a lot of friends
I wish I could help them
Why God don’t you send someone to help
They would say “ Hey I am here to listen
Life is hard but you are stronger”
Please God, just listen to me
Stop letting people kill themselves
It hurts their family and friends
God I am asking You to please
KILL SUICIDE !!!!!!
BECAUSE YOU CALLED ME A FRIEND
Originally appeared on KUVR’ S Town Talk
I will hug you anytime
I will hold your hand when you need me
I will wipe your tears when you are sad
I will listen when nobody else will
I will make sure you get home okay
I will make you feel safe and sound
I will make sure you are doing the right things
I will help you whenever you need me
I will be there when you are going through a breakup
I will be there when you lose some people in life
I will be there when you feel like no one loves you
I will be there when you can’t handle the weight of the world
I will be there when you are very sick and can’t stand
I will be there when you can’t do anything for yourself
I will be there when you are about ready to die
With the color of baby blue—the prettiest blue I’ve ever seen
