Shelby Marie Peters Poems

Not a day goes by
That I don't think
About what I've done...
What he did...
...

I cry
You lie
I hide
You wonder why
...

My hopes
My dreams
My dumb
Self esteem
...

I wanna restart
give me a new heart
one that's pure
not split apart
...

Star light star bright,
first star I see tonight,
wish I may
wish I might
...

Why does the past repeat itself
the world may never know
I wish my past would stop right now
I have no where left to go, the last place that I could turn
...

I ramble cause i dont know what to say,
i stumble cause I wonder if youll stay
i hide my feelings
push them away
...

I understand that I was right
i understand that you dont care
i understand that it was just a night
what I dont understand is why youre here
...

You try not to cry
but you just cant laugh
you dont wanna try
cause it never really lasts
...

I knew I would get hurt
... but I did it anyways
now this whole is in my heart and I fear its here to stay
...

Nightmares tell me it's coming soon
My daydreams tell me it's all non-sense.
...

A man on his knees Prays to God:
'Hear me now, Lord for I am struggling with
the loss of a loved one. Why them? Why
them and not me? '
...

I want to fall for you...
But I'm scared of the jump.
I want to be with you...
But Im scared to be near you.
...

Angels all around me
wathcing over me
...

He gives me eyes when I cannot see
And shows me the one I'm meant to be.
He carries me when I cannot walk,
And listens to me when I need to talk.
...

What happens now...
If I wasn't me,
who would be?
If I wasn't here
...

Life is confusing
I am losing
What to do
What to do
...

why do you torture me,
like you aint got no other place to be,
just messin with my mind,
giving me a hard time...
...

The Best Poem Of Shelby Marie Peters

Trigger

Not a day goes by
That I don't think
About what I've done...
What he did...
What they did to me...

Not a second goes by
That I dont struggle
With wanting to pull that trigger...
To give up...
To say 'I quit..'

Sometimes I think it's my own fault
I tell myself 'Why didn't you say no!
Why didn't you make them quit? ! '
But the answer doesn't come
At least not just yet...

With the Gentleness of the wind
Yet the swiftness of innocence lost..
I remember I was 5...
6..
7/8...
each time it happened
and each time... I cry..

But does age really matter../
Could it still be my fault?

The question never ends
The struggle never stops...

Once again I struggle
I gently lift this gun
Should I pull the trigger
Or should I dropp it and run...

Should I wait and see what waits in the
Wings/grips of tomorrow
Maybe it will get brighter...
Most likely even darker...

But then again
Nothing compares to this...

Not another day goes by
'Til they finally find her there
This time she chose to die...
And the gun's still in her hair...
(her pain etched in the air)
