Life Poem by Courtney Redmond

Sitting by and watching
Life drifts on
Through dirt and stone
As life breaths its hollow end
We dream of silence and noises

During the time I live on this earth
I wish to change so much yet
I am one person you might say
what could you change

I can teach you some thing new, about your self that you never knew
Or preach to you, till im blue in the face
I can let you cry on my shoulder, when your having a bad day
Or give you that bear hug, that you need
I can walk a road with you as you find life
Or let you go on your own, but I cant walk it for you

I cant tell you how to be
Nor can I save you from your problems
Cause ive got my problems too.
You may say how do you have problems for you walk so proud,
I” ll say watch me enter this door when somebody I loved walked out
Scars have formed on my body from years of pain, but I lived to see another day.
My eyes have cried so many tears, that my bed should be an ocean from each drop.
I might be rich on the outside but that doesn’t mean I like to spend some green
Let me tell you
Im as cheap as you get
If a person could take a dime out of a quarter
then id be takeing a penny out of a dime.
I swear I feel like preachin now.
Christian beliefs make me strong
God saved me from that day when the world walked out on me
So many people have died and, alked to the cars and left,
but the man upstairs hasn’t left my side
My soul lives on as it hurts from each
obstacle the devils put in front of me
But I overpass them and laugh in his face as thought I got I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard. As Mrs. Angelou says

I cant help it I want to live, problems or no problems that how im made
Im not meant to be perfect.
Im a women who says I have to be.
All im trying to do is find a way to make it
With issues of many
Yes I’m a thick chick
that lives in a world where
skinny is in, but I don’t want to thin
im happy with my size, so please make my kfc plate Ill be there o eat it in three

As the song says if your happy and you know it clap your hands… Clap Clap
But im going to clap for figuring out who
I am and not needing someone to tell me how to
I like being single,
Ive come to embrace it
Im not saying that it suits my style
for I would like someone by my side
To give me some attention

But to me this life is just great
