Gawking eyes Mine with pride Rode down the streets With my head held high
Looking up with no despair They looked at me from everywhere And when we spoke Snickering awoke
The road that I rode on So hilly, so green Enmeshed in the spirit of greenery The sky so bright and blue like their skin and eyes at night
So curious so sweet They loved our charro beans And this feeling inside So warm so bright Like our smiles and laughter Hovering around the chimney at night
Another fresh new year has come… Another year of life!! I don’t have to worry about doubt and fear Because there won’t be another tear I am done with all the lies
Life goes on day by day Why do you think I love to stay? The thunderstorms that come by Are like what i feel inside Sooner or later the rainbows will shine!!!
I am a strong woman I was made to be wild To create my own destiny To find a place in this world so I can be The most incredible me
I finally found myself over a long thorny road And trust me it wasn’t simple it felt like a heavy load Now I am an independent woman A woman with a vision That is now on a mission
I walk through the sandy wasteland passing dune after dune Walking and staring at the moon As I walk through the endless land
The lights in the distance tease me with their luster And yet I can never seem to grab one Every light has flittered away And I seem to end up with none
I seem to always be left in the dark With the endless teasing of the lights on the horizon And yet I walk on In the hopes that someday I’ll get at least one Fully aware that I’ll most likely never get one
Some days, some of the lights fall behind The ones that have lost their light I’d carry them with me But if I don’t walk now I’ll be left behind
If I looked behind me just once There’d be a sea of lights that tumble over the dunes If I look behind me just one time I’ll be left in the sand
When the sun comes over the wasteland I don’t feel its warmth When the moon bathes the land in its lukewarm light I don’t feel the cold
When I’ve walked for what feels like an eternity I don’t feel tired I don’t feel the stress of the walk And yet I still want to look back
You chose to portray me a horrible person, Spread lies about me. All for that enormous ego that you sustain yourself with.
But silly goose, Don’t you know? That through your vile, disgusting words I chose to grow.
Does the way I carry myself upset you? Did you really expect me to sit down and cry? As if, I’d never! I grew.
In the face of enmity, I stayed true to myself. I chose to grow and become a bigger person. It bothers you and it shows. That I chose to rise above you and grow.
At the end of the day, I’m still able to look in the mirror And be content with the person I see. For I’ve grown, And become what you never wanted to see. -Haley Villarreal
I will live You have tried to make me cry tears like a fountain But I still move those heavy mountains You try to make my life not the best But I will live life to the fullest
You have many words to say But I will live a happy life anyway Hateful words that are meant to destroy But just like that, my life I will enjoy
I will live my best life Like butterflies in the spring No matter how you describe my life I will spread my wings
You may bring me down In a million different ways But I will live my life to be the best one in town And I will live happy for the rest of my days
At times I may stumble But you won’t see me fall With tears in my eyes, I will always make the right call
At times I lose some battles But in the end I will win the war Although I sometimes get caught in the lion’s den he won’t be the one to roar
At times I feel as though I want to give up, But I know I’ll always have people that will be in my corner Feelings are often a little too overwhelming However I have great friends to keep me a little warmer
At times I hear monsters underneath my bed But unfortunately I don’t always know how to keep them fed. With bonds as strong as glue, Those monsters shrink to the size of just a shrew.
Life is like a battle Dirty at times. The road is twisty and windy, But still I strive.
The road from here is hard. It can be long, and it can be short. Are you gonna be hiding in the same old place, Or are you finally gonna teleport Into a world full of bliss and craze.
Life can put you down Everyone fails. It can be miserable at times What matters is that you prevail.
From the dinosaurs to now Life was too long, or too bad, for anything to transpire. Or life was cut too short to be amusing But me, i'm striving til I expire.
The courage in me
ReplyDeleteWill be there forever
And will fight for those in need
When people beat up others,
I can feel their pain
I can feel them suffer.
I just want them to stop.
Just then I saved a little boy
And gave him a toy.
For well behaved,
He was so brave.
He was defending himself
Like no one else
Because he was like myself
Many people deal with negativity.
ReplyDeleteMany fall with it and spread it,
But everyone should rise again.
We will rise.
Where negativity lands
People should get it and gain,
Rather than let it take it over them.
We will rise.
Like evaporated water,
We will form up into a molecule and rise as one.
We as people should rise and be more positive
To each other and vanish the negativity away.
We will rise.

ReplyDeleteNot Going Back
ReplyDeleteWe are not going back
To the old days
In which we knew
How to play
We can't play no more
We don't feel safe
We know how to play
But we feel this pain
This pain of the future
Build by hate
Hate that will
Not let us play
We are not going back
To our old ways
Cause we see ma praying all day
Praying for the now
Praying for the when
Because she no longer prays for him
Gawking eyes
ReplyDeleteMine with pride
Rode down the streets
With my head held high
Looking up with no despair
They looked at me from everywhere
And when we spoke
Snickering awoke
The road that I rode on
So hilly, so green
Enmeshed in the spirit of greenery
The sky so bright and blue
like their skin and eyes at night
So curious so sweet
They loved our charro beans
And this feeling inside
So warm so bright
Like our smiles and laughter
Hovering around the chimney at night
Life Is A Trip
ReplyDeleteAnother fresh new year has come…
Another year of life!!
I don’t have to worry about doubt and fear
Because there won’t be another tear
I am done with all the lies
Life goes on day by day
Why do you think I love to stay?
The thunderstorms that come by
Are like what i feel inside
Sooner or later the rainbows will shine!!!
I am a strong woman
I was made to be wild
To create my own destiny
To find a place in this world so I can be
The most incredible me
I finally found myself over a long thorny road
And trust me it wasn’t simple it felt like a heavy load
Now I am an independent woman
A woman with a vision
That is now on a mission
Angela Amador
ReplyDeleteWalking Away
Day by day
You made me believe I wasn’t enough
I was always wrong
That loving me was too tough
I had to walk away
On and on you go
Saying I never understood you
And I wanted things my way
But of my worries you never had a clue
I had to walk away
I let you go
Now, you talk poorly about my name
Say that I was toxic
You were afraid of who I became
I had to walk away
Thank you for the lesson
I do not regret our time together
I learned to give my all
Felt pain I had never
I learned to walk away

My Poem
ReplyDeleteYou told me I wouldn't bare
That it wouldn't be fair
But you never dared
You pushed me out of sight
The world was never so bright
And you said not now
You wouldn't know how
From the amber of my will
And the ashes of my despair
From my darkness I flared
A fire that rose
That may be put out
But from the ashes
Will burn once more
I walk through the sandy wasteland passing dune after dune
ReplyDeleteWalking and staring at the moon
As I walk through the endless land
The lights in the distance tease me with their luster
And yet I can never seem to grab one
Every light has flittered away
And I seem to end up with none
I seem to always be left in the dark
With the endless teasing of the lights on the horizon
And yet I walk on
In the hopes that someday I’ll get at least one
Fully aware that I’ll most likely never get one
Some days, some of the lights fall behind
The ones that have lost their light
I’d carry them with me
But if I don’t walk now
I’ll be left behind
If I looked behind me just once
There’d be a sea of lights that tumble over the dunes
If I look behind me just one time
I’ll be left in the sand
When the sun comes over the wasteland
I don’t feel its warmth
When the moon bathes the land in its lukewarm light
I don’t feel the cold
When I’ve walked for what feels like an eternity
I don’t feel tired
I don’t feel the stress of the walk
And yet I still want to look back
But if I look back
I’ll be left behind
The Now
ReplyDeleteWhat’s left behind
Should not be on my mind
The old shoes I wore
Don’t fit me anymore
For they were from my past
Which went by so fast
Many obstacles in the past
Many obstacles I had to pass
Never did I surrender
For my future I was a defender
Never lost hope
That bright future i had in my scope
I grabbed that future tight as a rope
Now I have eyes on my future
I have to be a mover
And take action
Don’t want any distraction
For I am in the Now
And there’s nothing stopping me Now
CAN’T BRING ME DOWN
ReplyDeleteYou constantly tease me every single day
Yet your words fall on to deaf ears
Name calling to try and put a frown
But no matter what I shine bright
You can’t drag me down
Getting forced to follow something I don’t believe
I won’t let myself get tied down by them
Not even the evilest demons can hurt me now
I am blessed by the hands of life
Demons can’t force me down
Number and letter grades won’t define me
They are just that, symbols on a screen
These prison walls and ID numbers tracking me
Stay in the dust of my freedom, flying high
The system can’t shut me down
Darkest of them all is the mind
I won’t pay attention any time
It tries to suffocate me in the dark
But I faced it up front with the light inside
I can’t bring myself down
Growth
ReplyDeleteYou chose to portray me a horrible person,
Spread lies about me.
All for that enormous ego that you sustain yourself with.
But silly goose,
Don’t you know?
That through your vile, disgusting words
I chose to grow.
Does the way I carry myself upset you?
Did you really expect me to sit down and cry?
As if, I’d never!
I grew.
In the face of enmity,
I stayed true to myself.
I chose to grow and become a bigger person.
It bothers you and it shows.
That I chose to rise above you and grow.
At the end of the day, I’m still able to look in the mirror
And be content with the person I see.
For I’ve grown,
And become what you never wanted to see.
-Haley Villarreal
I will live
ReplyDeleteYou have tried to make me cry tears like a fountain
But I still move those heavy mountains
You try to make my life not the best
But I will live life to the fullest
You have many words to say
But I will live a happy life anyway
Hateful words that are meant to destroy
But just like that, my life I will enjoy
I will live my best life
Like butterflies in the spring
No matter how you describe my life
I will spread my wings
You may bring me down
In a million different ways
But I will live my life to be the best one in town
And I will live happy for the rest of my days
Would you like to see me cry out loud?
ReplyDeleteBeg you for my life
I will not bow down like the clouds
That are made from the rain that falls down
It seems we are different every time
We see each other
With no fear nor doubt as if crime
Was strong enough to change our frowns
Is this where we divide ourselves?
By color and race
Like those books on the shelves
Leaving no meaning nor trace
I will say that I will survive
And make this world
New as if we had been revived
By our loud cries
At times I may stumble
ReplyDeleteBut you won’t see me fall
With tears in my eyes,
I will always make the right call
At times I lose some battles
But in the end I will win the war
Although I sometimes get caught in the lion’s den
he won’t be the one to roar
At times I feel as though I want to give up,
But I know I’ll always have people that will be in my corner
Feelings are often a little too overwhelming
However I have great friends to keep me a little warmer
At times I hear monsters underneath my bed
But unfortunately I don’t always know how to keep them fed.
With bonds as strong as glue,
Those monsters shrink to the size of just a shrew.

ReplyDeleteWhen He gives you a Second Chance
ReplyDeleteNever lose your faith
Never lose your hope
Hold on to Gods’ hand
He will never let you go.
Live life to the fullest
Don’t waste any time
Set your goals high
Enjoy every minute of the climb.
Stay strong through tough times
Find the good in the bad
Make the best of what you have
Don’t dwell or be sad.
Look for who stuck around
Seek out the friends that are true
Stay with that special someone
Who through it all loved you.
Cherish those around you
Do not take them for granted
Don’t forget to say I’m sorry
God may not give you more second chances.
Life is like a battle
ReplyDeleteDirty at times.
The road is twisty and windy,
But still I strive.
The road from here is hard.
It can be long, and it can be short.
Are you gonna be hiding in the same old place,
Or are you finally gonna teleport
Into a world full of bliss and craze.
Life can put you down
Everyone fails.
It can be miserable at times
What matters is that you prevail.
From the dinosaurs to now
Life was too long, or too bad, for anything to transpire.
Or life was cut too short to be amusing
But me, i'm striving til I expire.
