Poetry is poetry whether it depicts a sad and soul wrenching theme, or if it sends someone to universe that they feel happy in. However, i still feel the same way i do about rhyming, but if that what helps you get it out, then you have every right as a writter and artist to use rhymes.

Looking back at everything i have written, i was a troubled girl who was saved by pen and paper, friends and even the art of others. I greatly advise anyone to start writting, drawing, singing, playing sports, anything to keep you happy and steer you away from suicide. You do matter whether you know that upfront or not.

Black Cat

Sneaky and tricky, I haunt the hearts of
Those who are mean to me

Beautiful and proper, I fill the heads
Of others with sweet yet deceiving
Thoughts and dreams

Dangerous and poisonous, I turn sweet memories
Into lost hopes and I turn your life into hell

Calm and laidback, I make you believe that
I am approachable and sweet to touch

I am all of these things, which is
Why I am the color black

Missing What?

whats gone?what is left?
what is special in something
so broken? what is worth looking for?

am i worth it? is it worth asking out someone?
is it worth gettin heart broken? is it worth even
breaking?

will anything change?will those who hate me
leave me alone? will things get better? will
anyone every save me?

shall i live? shall i die?
shall i breath? shall i leave?

please tell me...whats missing?

Happiness With God
by Rae of His Light

To know you means
so very much to me
Heaven is opened!
Truth is placed where
I can search and find it
You also give it to me
when i need it. What a
rewarding feeling

You are and always will be.

The comfort that is warmth
in the coldest of places
The grace that is like a
fountain on every street corner
The truth that is a double-edged sword
The all powerful and mighty one!

Knowing you presence, oh
what a divine encounter!
You have no limits. You
have something new everyday.
To delight in things with you
makes everything richer.
To speak to you even if you do
not reply right away, a sweet conversation
You hear me and I am moved.
Glory always be to you!

I know you, but I want
to know more of you.
You know me, all of me,
and want all of me!
the greatest gift, to be wanted
by you! Who i am, but still you
want me.

Glory be to you the most high
Glory, praise and worship.
The only one who could deliver us.
The only one.
The beautiful one of mercy
The truth,the way, and the life!
To know you!

Congrats!!!

Better or Worse?

Life has changed, but
is it for the better?or is it
for the worst?

Harlem or Red Lodge?
Life or Death?
Friends or no friends?
Better or Worse?

Nothings changing about
them, i try to change a little
and still no response out of anyone

Nice or evil?
Ugly or Hot?
Succeed or fail?
Cry or smile?

You only become
someone if you have money
and you only become popular
if you're great at sports

so tell me have things gotten
better or worse?will they get
better or worse?

will i be seen as me? or as
another person that you
and i don't know?

Tall or short?
fat or skinny?
popular or nerdy?
sad or happy?

Too Judgemental

Never have i been
torn apart so easily

You treat me like
a scratching post
and think you can
make me who I'm not

Keep on trying, you've
already taken parts of me
know try the harder ones

you put too many
adjectives against me,
when they normally help
me

Why tear me apart?
Why make me feel
like shit?!

You people are no
fair, you don't even
know who I am

Who the fuck said you
could judge me so harshly?!
Who the hell gave you
permission to think you know
me?

Go ahead and try
now I show you haters
how to be like this and how
to represent that place you
call home

So walk slowly and
watch your back, Your
own words might stab you
in your spine
