Erica Smith Poems

I used to know a girl named Samantha
She was a good friend of mine
She made it seem as if I wasn't alone
She gave my thoughts reason and rhyme
...

2.

I want to be loved
Caressed, kissed and hugged

I want to feel safe and secure
...

My mind contemplates suicide
Ignoring the urge to die
I continue to live my lonely life
Everyone seeing my face
...

Torrents of sleeplessness rip through my veins
Quests of purpose across grey matter
Why? When? Who? infect my brain
...

Well ****; chalk it up to a case of star struck
Not seeing with sight, not quite enough fight to make eyes right.
What was hoped for hopefully abandoned by the savage that is ME...
Apparently.
...

Writing is and isn't my peace
Because I can't write fast enough
Desire to pour it out on paper
Look at it
...

Do you know I think about you every day?
When I look down at my wrists I feel again
All the sadness I tried to cut away.
...

(I wrote this poem in 2002 about my best friend who committed suicide in Dec 2005)


I miss my soul mate
...

Sometimes its like I slip away
Into this place where everything is dark and cold
Its only here where I can be alone with my thoughts
All alone with what seems to be reality
...

Erica Smith Biography

I am 22 and just figuring out that I am at the start of the end. I am trying to figure out my purpose in life. I had my daughter Paige who is now 5 when I was barely 17 and until recently didn't think of anything in the category of 'purpose' besides her. I am going to school for surgical technology for two reasons.1) Primarily because anatomy and physiology fascinate me and 2) Because its what society says your supposed to do and since I have no acceptable role models I am trying to piece together the remnants of morality and reason from our wicked, havoc-ridden, excuse for an American dream. Jaded yes, cynical perhaps, lost more than anything. I use my poetry as a positive tool to get somewhere in my sea of thoughts. Thanks for reading.)

The Best Poem Of Erica Smith

A Girl Named Samantha

I used to know a girl named Samantha
She was a good friend of mine
She made it seem as if I wasn't alone
She gave my thoughts reason and rhyme

I shared my insecurities and weaknesses with her
I shared stories of many kinds
But little did I know she was going to sneak up on me
And stab me from behind

So i guess I never really knew this girl
I just thought I did
But through this chaos I've reaped another lesson,
Always keep the 'real you' hid
