Unveil the curtain that hides your inner self.

Let the world see the beauty within you.
...

Jump up like a dolphin out of the water.
Use your fins to go far.

You may feel down and like your sinking down lower,
But just come up for air once in a while.
...

I walk slowly, letting the rain hit my face.

I try to zone out and stay in my own little world to block the coldness out.
...

Heart.
Why can't I fix you?
He sprinkled his blackness all over my heart like rain coming down from the sky.
Where is the tape so I can mend my heart?
...

** This poem is in memory of Allison N. Wyatt, one of the children who died in the Sandy Hook Shooting. Allison's favorite color was green and she loved to garden, cover her family's home with paintings and drawings, and to be outside.
...

She is holding on by a strand.

As her mind slowly starts cutting away at her soul.
...

Red, white, and blue are the colors that represent our flag.

People honor our country by saying the pledge.
...

Paper and pen help me to write and express.
My heart and mind help me to inspire and change.
One day I will inspire and change the world by doing the unthinkable,
But first I must wish and work for it. The hardest things in life are worth it.
...

Don't give up for you have more in store.
Dont give up for you still will blossom more.

Your leaves maybe old and torn but light will come.
For you have gotten through the darkness now new leaves will come and make you shine more.
...

Be brave.
Be adventurous.
For you only live once.

Step out of you shell,
...

You look for the shooting star going across the sky.

You look for that pot of gold maybe at the end of a rainbow.
...

Tick Tock.
Tick Tock.
I hear the noise of the clock.
How long do I have till my time is up?
...

** I have decided to possibly write a poetry book with a poetry dedicated to each victim of the sandy shooting if it possible to do. I would appreciate anyways help in helping me to do so.
...

** This poem is in memory of Chase Kowalski, one of the children who died in the Sandy Hook shooting. He loved his four-wheeler and was a jokester with a great smile.
...

The gates of Heaven open as a beautiful woman enters.
She is holding boxes filled with white doves to go out to the world.

As she walks further into Heaven she sees a line of notes saying:
Thank you and We Love you.
...

** This poem is in memory of Josephine Gay, one of the children who died in the Sandy Hook Shooting. Josephine was autistic and severely apraxic and couldn't speak. She loved giving hugs and loved the color purple.
...

Will I break free from my past?

Or will I let the chains tie me down?
...

It came out slowly and it touched my cold body, while still keeping a deep part of me warm like when his body was wrapped around mine.

I knew our love was over when he decided to let the blood drip down instead of stopping it with his hand.
The hand he first used to slowly touch my face while he began to hold me while he kissed me.
...

You look into each others eyes,

And a new feeling comes over you.
...

Flowers bloom in her presence.
For she is the princess of the flowers.

Madeline's bright flowery dresses give the flowers life and meaning.
Just like how she helped people around her blossum and show their own beauty.
