The Scars I Bare...
The beauty you see is real My appearance is flawless to the sight
My stride is to be desired, for it represents my walk of life
Oh yes, I carry my head up high, hell, why not
I deserve to see the light
The words I speak are factual and intellectual
For vocabulary is kin
And with all these things that I possess,
There are still those scars I bare
The emotional scars that I bare That have disfigured my heart,
When, where, how... Over time and through the struggles of life
Scars that have mended and reopened,
You know, that vicious circle that haunts us all,
But as you see, its inner deformity has become my evolution
Into the beauty that stands before all to envy
Bare witness to my smile, my eyes, Down to my confident stride
For I am beautiful, even with the scars I bare
Distant Lovers
Distant lovers are exceptional liars
Not honest, because they don't have to be
Convincing you that they love you
While they caress, love and hold another
Distant lovers are like spare tires
Taken out of the trunk when times are flat or
When they are upset with their everyday lover
They call or write you
So you can tell them what they want to hear, but then
The phone call ends, the letter is read then shred
When it's all said and done,
You are put back in the trunk distant lover
Your once love is back with their other
Making love to them, making plans with them,
Spending a lifetime with them
Distant lover you will never face the reality
Of true and unconditional love
A distant lover retains no love at all,
Just exceptional lies…

About the Author
Carmelita Moore-Nix was born, in
The transformation took place through others experiences, bad breakups, crushes on a cute guy or daydreams of what she would become when she grew up. Sometimes the poems made no sense to her when she read them back to herself, to others the poems were crystal clear. She enjoyed writing when she was in her pre-teens more than anything; it took her away from her day-to-day issues, which allowed her to feel so carefree. It allowed her for the moment to live outside the bounders of a teenage girl growing pain. She always focused on being the best in every thing to include home, church and school.
Graduating from Van Horn Engineering & Technology High School in 1991. She thought high school was the most amazing 4 years of my life. She made tons of friends, which of whom are still friends today. She was lucky to have had the best teachers who truly wanted to see her succeed. They pushed along with her mom, which made it impossible for her to fail. Education was a priority all through childhood for her; she thrived on the desire to succeed. Carmelita wanted to travel and get more education; the United States Air Force supplied both for her. She still felt joining the military is and will be the best decision she ever made in her life. Now a truly devoted woman to her family, she could not ask for much more.
