WHAT IF


What If 

What if I shall not wait? 
What must I do if I need to get  
Past you ? 
What if I burst the fleshly gate 
And pass, escaped, what would  
You say to make me look your way ? 
What if I file this mortal off me and 
Let you see how much I loved you  
See where it hurts me, 
Would that be enough for you to believe 
You hurt me and I loved you so , 
I want let you see me cry ,  
No you cannot make me show my face , 
My voice I write on paper , 
To let out all my pain , 
Oh hear comes the rain , 
As laughter was like years ago, 
My traveling shows how old I become  
With my heart on the run , 
It was as if I died yesterday! 
And yesterday is already dead and gone . 
And my heart still bleeds on .

Poetic Judy Lilly Emery

To all my readers you may see that their are grammar errors in my old writings, but these writing are from the 90's ,2000's. I truly didn't think anyone was readying my work . so I just started writing out what I felt and made my pains a story and poems . I had re post these poems and stories all over the internet and I keep them also in file so no one can ever say my work is theirs . I have kept my work as they are just for others to see where it was I started my writing at . The pains are so real not even a game ,The life I had lived I would never wish upon no one . I like to say to all who are taking the steps for change in their life congratulations to the new open doors God bless you . You may have seen my photos on the internet and my writings on Poetry.com and poem hunter etc. you may have seen the hate that others have given to me about my work and my beauty of who I am . But as you can see I will never let the haters Stop me from doing what I love . So I say the same to all of you write your own words and let your heart speak to all your readers . I hope you can understand why I haven't made changes in my work at less not the old ones . My old work are left as they are for me to always remember where it all came from . God bless to all who reads . Lilly Emery /Judy Emery
