From Within

Here are a couple of the poems that you will find in this book.

If You...

I am who I am

If you love me, you love me.

If you hate me, you hate me.

That's just the way it is.

If you don't care, you don't matter.

I am not going to change just to please someone else.

I have done that before.

And it got me nowhere.

So why waste my time?

What's the point?

Everyone that I have encountered in life both good and bad.

Has helped me become who I am today.

But you can't let someone control who you are.

Cause if you do you will get nowhere.

You must be who you are for yourself.

Regardless of whether people like it or not.

Because in the end all you got is yourself.

The most important person in your life is you.

Some people will like it.

Some people won't.

But the ones that care will understand.

And be there for you no matter what.

I am who I am.

Who am I you ask?

I dont know is my answer.

For that is a question that I cannot answer.

Because you see,

Who I am depends on who you talk to.

Everyone has their own opinion on who I am.

Some love me.

Some hate me.

Thats just the way it is.

I am who I am.

I Wish...

I wish that I knew what people really thought about me.

I wish that I could go back in time and change things.

I wish that parts of my life were only a dream.

I wish that my life wasn't so stressful.

I wish that I could get a good nights sleep.

I wish that a genie would grant me my three wishes.

But somehow I don't think that would be enough.

I wish that I knew the answer to questions that no one else did.

Like who really shot JFK?

Or

Whether or not God really existed?

But I guess that some questions are best left unanswered.

I wish that I knew when my life was going to end.

I wish I knew how I was going to die.

I wish that I could live forever.

I wish that I will do something in life that will change the course of history forever.

I wish that I will be remembered forever.

I wish that I will be successful.

I Wish...

I Wish...

I Wish...

Then I realize that life isn't always beautiful.

And without the bad.

You couldn't have the good.

But in the end they both make you stronger as a person.
