Poems by Elizabeth McCrorie

One does not own beauty.
One creates it.
In their dreams,
They feel they can obtain it.

All alone, in a dark night's
rest.
All their thoughts...
Lifeless.

Cursed by change
Hidden by lies,
Running from the truth.
Beauty now dies.

They don't understand.
They don't really care.
Beauty now burns
Smoke in the air.

Years go by,
And age seeps in.
Beauty's worn out,
Life is giving in.

Death creeps up,
Beauty now cries.
You're all alone
In your beautiful lies!

We were put on this planet
To live and to love.
To cherish the ones in our lives
And never let them get hurt.
Safety is a priority,
But danger is an outcome.
Why is it that we work so very hard
For something that will still happen
In the end?
Should we care about our lives
Or sit and waste it away?
"It doesn't matter, we're all going to
die someday!"
These words fill our heads
With sad confusion. There's no end.
We get lost with the love
We want to have.
There is no conclusion to all
This pain.
But an answer that comes
Just the same.
The negative side seems to win,
But the positive side seems to
Glow.
We are who we choose to be,
So be careful who you choose.
Love everyday like there is no
Tomorrow,
And give to others the joy of life
So no one will hurt.
Love, and love will love you back.
Open your arms to life,
And life will hug you back!
Don't be scared!
Life is still a one time thing!

I'm not scared of anything.
I wish my lie were true.
I don't want help,
I don't need anything from you!

I hate when I cry.
I hate when I'm scared.
My life is going by
I can't feel anything, anywhere.

I'm sad and depressed
I'm weak and abused.
I'm told I'm bad.
I just don't know what to do.

I don't want your help,
But I don't want to cry.
Leave me here.
Just say goodbye!

So you're gone....?
Good riddance, I say!
I guess I'm going to cry for
Just one more day!

I know you see me,
I know you're there,
But in my heart it's not fair.
If I look up I see the sky,
And I know up there
It's hard to hide.
The sky is soft blue,
With white milky clouds,
How can you be in a place
Not found?
In the end,
I fall to my knees,
Close my eyes and think of thee.
If you are who you say to be,
Then please, oh please, take care of me
'Cause I believe!
