Velvet-Darkness• Show poetry

Hmmmm...What to say about myself. Well, to put it simply, I am a rather complex individual.

I have had other accounts on this site before but I truly feel that I am now ready to accept who I am and share that with those of you who care to get to know me.

I love poetry. It is my one true passion in this life. Poetry is the one outlet in my life where I feel I can bare my soul and share my deepest thoughts and emotions.

I truly hope that those of you who read my work will be
touched in one way or another. Whether you hate it or love it, as long as it sparks some kind of emotion in you than I feel my poetry has done it's job.

Most of my older work is dark and very painful but I will be reposting it on this account because I truly feel that every word I write has a piece of my soul in it and I want the world to know me. Not just the new me, but also the person I was when I went through some of the worst times of my life.

There are a few people on this site who have touched me in such meaningful ways and when I can find the words to express how much they mean to me I will be writing about them on this page. They have helped me become who I am today and for that I am truly grateful.

I don't know what else to say right now but if you really want to get to know me, please read my work for in my writing my heart and soul are revealed.




The Rose That Grew From Concrete---by: Tupac Shakur

Did u hear about the rose that grew from a crack
in the concrete
Proving nature's laws wrong it learned 2 walk
without having feet
Funny it seems but by keeping its dreams
it learned 2 breathe fresh air
Long live the rose that grew from concrete
when no one else even cared!



In The Depths Of Solitude---by: Tupac Shakur

I exist in the depths of solitude
pondering my true goal
Trying 2 find peace of mind
and still perserve my soul
Constantly yearning 2 be accepted
and from all receive respect
Never compromising but sometimes risky
and that is my only regret
A young heart with an old soul
how can there be peace
How can I be in the depths of solitude
when there r 2 inside of me
This duo within me causes
the perfect opportunity
2 learn and live twice as fast
as those who accept simplicity



Sometimes I Cry---by: Tupac Shakur

Sometimes when I'm alone
I cry because I'm on my own
The tears I cry r bitter and warm
They flow with life but take no form
I cry because my heart is torn
and I find it difficult 2 carry on
If I had an ear 2 confide in
I would cry among my treasured friends
But who do you know who stops that long
to help another carry on
The world moves fast and it would rather pass u by
than 2 stop and c what makes you cry
It's painful and sad and sometimes I cry
and no one cares about why



The Fear In The Heart Of A Man---by: Tupac Shakur

against an attacker I will boldly take my stand
because my heart will show fear 4 no man
but 4 a broken heart I run with fright
scared 2 be blind in a vulnerable night
I believe this fear is in every man
some will acknowledge it others will fail to understand
there is no fear in a shallow heart
because shallow hearts don't fall apart
but feeling hearts that truly care
are fragile 2 the flow of air
and if I am 2 be true then I must give
my fragile heart
I may receive great joy or u may return it
ripped apart



Untrampled Footsteps---by: Jim Morrison

Untrampled footsteps
Borderline dreams
Occasion for sinners
alive if it seems
given to wander
alone at the shore
wanton to whisper
I am no more
Am as my heart beats
live as I can
wanton to whisper
faraway sands
