My name is LaShawanda N. Ivey.I was born in Charlotte, N.C. I FELL IN LOVE with poetry when I was 7 years of age.The person that inspired me the most was my Grandmother Maggie Pittman. But I found poetry as my way to express myself. I hope you enjoy reading my poems. My Favorites are Egar Allen Poe, William Shakespere, Maya Angelou and the list goes on and on. I am trying to write my second book. ALL THESE POEMS MEAN A LOT TO ME.
Thank you for listening to me
For all the times I wanted to talk
When I need you most
You made the stars shine so brightly just for me to see
...
I'm trying to figure out, Should I believe the things you say
Because all I've been getting are broken promises
and shattered dreams that fades away into the sky
Everytime your mouth babbles all I HEAR ARE LIES.
...
I remember the day I came into the world
You was so happy that I came into the world
I remember as a child, You told me thayou would give me the world.I remember
the dollar bills on the Christmas tree

L -O-V- E the word that's being passed around like a wet noodle that is limber and weak.
People always say this word but don't mean it at all.
I beleive this word should be used if you geniuely mean it.
Love sometimes hurt especially when you are loving
