The Climb

Climbing up this mountain

Gripping trying not to fall

I put aside all my fear

I will not be overwhelmed by it all

The sun radiates down

And the wind whips across my back

I feel my heart beat faster

And then my body starts to react

My grip gets much tighter

My feet lock in place too

I am like a little spider

Trying to climb out of a glass of juice

But yet I cannot give up

And I will not give up now

I reach up ahead of me

And I never look back down

I keep going til I am almost there

And then my fingers bleed

But this is just one trouble

I will have to suck up indeed

Hand, Foot

Hand, Hand, Foot

Seems to be the pattern of the climb

And then I feel a blade of grass

And I know the win is mines

Life is full of challenges

Some are mountains indeed

But just have faith in yourself

And always believe

Believe that you are capable

Believe that you can accomplish all

Because you will be surprised at the things you can accomplish

Even though they are so tall

They always said I couldn't do it

They said it was too much for me

But I have climbed a mountain every day

And the mountain is the one who faced defeat

Life is full of challenges. Some are big and some are small. Sometimes we complain about hills in life, and fear the mountains because they are so tall. But every goal can be accomplished, and it all starts within you. For you can complete any climb, if to yourself you are always true!!  -Monica Renata

The Last Kiss

A kiss
Something that can mean so little
Yet also mean the most
I sit down and I wonder
I ponder what it would be like
For they are the object of my desire
Yet, I am afraid
I am afraid to make a move because I am doubtful
But I wonder
Could this be it.....
Could this be the first kiss that turns into the last kiss of my life
Could this person be the one to open my eyes to a new world I have yet to encounter
Hmmmm....

I never encountered a love like this

You are the my first and my last kiss

Emotion so raw and yet so true

All of my emotions that I have for you

Two souls connecting 

Dancing lightly in air

I can feel it in my heart

Because in my heart you are there

So unbelievable 

I never thought it to be true

Two souls intertwined 

As lovers do

Flesh touches flesh

And bodies unite

You grab me softly

I don't want to leave from your sight

Kiss me so passionately 

Like true loves do

My first

My last

Will always be you

Grandpa Said

Grandpa told me  many things

I still remember what he said

He said treat others with kindness

And don't let success go to your head

He said appreciate the little things

Because those are the things that matter the most

Don't ever forget where you came from

Because it will help you get to where you plan to go

Oh I still remember

All the things that grandpa said

So I live life according to this

And I must admit life is going swell

Who knew that those few words

Could fit exactly into life

Grandpa told me many things

And grandpa was very right

Can't Bring Me Down

I can't give up

I can't let disappointments get the best of me

Sometimes I may fall.... 

But I have to get back up

I must get back up!!!

I can't let the world break me. 

I can't let them break me down

They can't

And they won't!!

I will rise up

stronger than before

stronger than I have ever been

Today opens up a new chapter

I am changing the end of my own book of life

Sometimes it is great to go astray

And that is what I shall do 

No more holding my head down

No more feeling ashamed

No more being untrue to myself

I have to make it 

I want to make it

And I will not let anyone bring me down this time

Keep

Keep in mind those feelings
Keep in mind the words you say
Keep in mind your actions
For these affect others each day

Keep in mind your tone of voice
Keep in mind the way you slant your eyes
For they can make others feel as though they shouldn't speak to you at times

Keep in mind the ones you care about
Keep in mind how you don't want them to go away
Fix your problems within your world
Don't let your problems drive others away

Keep in mind those feelings
Keep in mind the words you say..
Because sometimes when you act recklessly
You make others walk away

Don't let the stresses of the world push away people who actually care about you. Learn how to not exert the anger from other faucets of your life upon those who love you....for if you don't...they might walk away. Don't throw away something you always thought you would keep. -Monica Renata

Life is Beautiful

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

But what is there to hold

For life changes everyday

It will continue to change until we grow old

But what is the point of loving something

Exactly as it is now

For when time moves forward each second

Things seem to change somehow

The Little Girl Who Believed

I can do this!

I can do this!

All I have to do is try!

You could look into this little girls’ eyes

And tell she wanted a prize

Can you see this?

I can do this!

All I have to do is try!

She was really passionate about her work

And no one could deny

Give me the chance!

And I will prove that I can!

Just give me one chance please!

Yet every time she begged for it

She would never get the chance

Please Please Please!

Let me try!

Just Give me one chance!

She always seemed to be adamant about her views

She only wanted a chance

Give me a chance

That is all I wanted

I wanted someone to see

That if given the opportunity

I could be all that I could be

Everything I have ever earned

I had to work two times five times

Because even the ones who believed in me

Always had to deny

Deny my willpower

Deny my energy

They said I was wasting my time

They questioned why I was trying to be

Someone who I was not

But the funny thing is

If I was given the chance

I could work towards a better me

And then I could prove to them

I could be who I wanted to be

I could have developed as a person early on

And not put down on the spot

I would have been better at speaking

I would have had experience doing what I love

I would have experienced a lot

Instead they didn’t believe in me

And I moving on

I can’t fault them for what they have done

Because now I am strong

I have grown up to realize

That I could be anyone I want to be

And if I am never given the opportunity

I can open the door myself for me

I will find my true calling

I will rise over the word NO

Because I know that I can prosper

And I can do things on my own

That little girl who believed

Still resides in me

But now instead of believing

She can now fully see

She opened up her eyes

She helps all in need

Because she believes that one day

There will be people who help those who too believe
