I was born in Silver Spring, MD and raised in Hyattsville, MD for the majority of my life. I am the middle child I have two sisters--one of whom I am extremely close to, she's my everything. I have always enjoyed writing, it was always the easiest way for me to express myself. I remember when I really started writing a lot, it was when my Grandma died at age 11, and I had absolutely no clue as to how I was feeling, no clue as to how or when to express myself. I am twenty-six now and it is still and always will be my source of self explanation as well as self exploration. Salute, Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Weeping Willow

by ElyseNicole

I know why you weep,

it's because when you were me,

you loved unconditionally--to deep.

But the day you died,

love was why you cried,

He took everything u had inside,

You took everything in stride and pushed all his BS to the side,

you put aside your pride, every time he lied,

bared you soul and then died, an ultimate death,

one of suicide.

Weeping Willow I am here for you,

I see all of you,

everyday I cried it was for you,

seeing that weeping willow got me through

it got me over you.

Weeping willow

I have some words just for you,

because I don't want others to grow how you grew.

never let anyone take all of you

never let their lear's and jeers

bring out your fears.

Those lies they chose to tell you

were never equivalent to your tears.

Priceless you are

Smile through all the trials.

Weeping Willow

I am going to be your light,

to help give others sight,

with every weep,

we will leap.

No longer will your hope

be taken as a joke,

No more guns, knives, nor ropes.

Your going to give us all hope.

Dedicated to those who have committed suicide our weeping willows and those who think of it please rethink it, you are priceless just give yourself a chance tomorrow will never come if you don't let it.

Looking back at me

Looking at you and all I see
is me looking back at me
lost and scattered,
battered reflection of me
but damn it is still me
confused and can not see
exactly how I should be.

My reflection isn't the me
I thought I'd see
one in which I've never seen
I am not who I thought I'd be
lost, dying inside
but outside fierce as can be
reflections of a broken me
with an off track destiny.

How do I make it through?
Damn is this really what I brew.
How do I let go?
live and learn and move through
if only I never knew
you
the real you
I would have never lost sight
that urge to fight
now I got that bad instinct of flight.

Bogus as can be
but still I can't see
why it wasn't me
Elyse
who I chose to be
true to
and love above all else
because I knew too
I'd be, looking back at me.



Transition

Moving from point A to B
and I see that same old mess
Running to stay away from the test

Physical, Mental, Emotional triumph
if I can only make it past this hump
to get that umph
and take these fucked up lumps
in stride
keep my pride aside
and sit there through this bogus ride
I already let that old me die.

Transition is my only mission
to make it all the way to Z
is where I got to be.
I have released all the tension
all the stress
and put my soul and heart to rest
Lies and deception
lead me to this position
I got to refrain and obtain
all my goals
no matter what the tolls
no more flipping out
It's time to turn this mickeyflicka
out!

So I'm in transition
a work in progress
destined for success
