People don't show their appreciation and quick to point out our flaws. I often think of God and what he must sometimes think of us. We murmur and complain overlooking his many blessings. I know it breaks my heart to hear...

My mind still thinking of what to write,
My pen is eager to compose a nice poem,
To the next generation of people on earth,
Who will continue a legacy of living a good life.

I remembered all the things people did at present,
Things that's what they really needed...a...

 free verse with poetic device
                
Having just disembarked from a date with death
on the water, time’s gateway forked for a moment.
Was it the mere dropping of an oar?
or perhaps...

I am a selfish person.
I do not like that trait in myself, 
But I know it is there,
Lying dormant until such a time,
As I may be refused something
My heart may desire.

I cannot correct it, not entirely.
I cannot banish it to some shelf hidden away
From which...

A Mothers Day Gift
By: Sami LaRose

You're he most selfish person I know
You need to take that huge ego of yours 
And throw it out the window;
All you ask for is money and "trust"
But when this request is fulfilled by others it is nothing but a...

Five years ago we were together
In the war cold was the weather
You cared for me but I didn’t bother
It was very dark the enemy getting closer
“Take care of the family run I will cover”
Then a gun fire, a painful cry it was over
You died for...

The only reason for being sad
is holding on what is worthless, 
another reason is selfishness;
joy is empty when one is bored.

Somebody should notice
how strangely you act,
putting your feelings first,
getting all the praise;
and showing no love for me,
you take the sweetness
out of each of each memory
bringing...

Dear Lord,
I know you have business all over the world, so I'll make this very brief
If it's not your will for us to prevail, then my life I pray you keep
It's not that I'm a selfish person, but I live in constant fear
In a place...

Every Person ever born 
will go through the worst moment of their life,
the moment death or tragedy strikes
and though not all alike all will suffer alike

In those worst moments 
all are saved by the people around them
the comfort and support they bring

The worst thing possible...

For once in my life
I got something I
didn't have to give
back
Something I could
most defiantly feel
with no strings
attached
My whole life I've
been waiting for
the "one"
I got him, he's got
me, so for more
there is none
When we are
together I feel no
breaks or tension
As if superman and
his woman were
on a...

Curiosity killed the cat, well that makes sense. I know the guy, practically my best friend. Well, let me tell you how curiosity saved my life. Maybe curiosity taught me how to love. In which I might have never thought to love, but was going...

In a situational disaster 
disintegrating faster 
I need a little chat
with a mate, I got a bastard!

Who can't give his hand,
time is precious on demand,
not a fan of understanding, 
he'll dis you and abandon.

Write it off as senseless,
and somewhat unimportant,
distance himself from involvement
and ignore it.

When...

Paper

When I sit down to write
I can’t help but feel as if
The words that clutter across my
Sad
Blank
Sheet of paper
Are not my own

I write my words
My thoughts
My suffering
But every time I reread my poetry
I can’t help but feel an overbearing sensation
Of plagiarism

My hamartia is is that...
