Poems from August Forster
My name is august Forster. I am 16 years of age, and i live in Ruidoso, New Mexico. At the age of 13, I started writing short stories. 3 years ago I was diagnosed with an extreme case of depression. I self- harmed for over 2 years.During this time I fell in love with poetry.I started writing about my feelings and my thoughts, soon i put them into poems. I have written over 45 poems in the last 7 months. Poetry was a medicine that wasn't prescribed to me, and one of the only ones that worked.I put power into my poems, make them mean something,and they all connect to me.I feel like some of my poems could change the way someone is to see another for the good.I am currently looking for scholarships and money for college. I hope that you enjoy my poems!- August Forster
My Poem
My poem for today has flown,
From my mind far away.
I don’t know what to write,
I can’t write about anything in sight.
Everything...
What you make
You make me happy,
You make me cry.
You make me laugh so much,
I could die.
You make me smile,
You make me thankful,
And I...
I am a lightning bolt
I am a lightning bolt,
I will strike you down,
You tell me that’s not possible,
But don’t you see my crown?
Go ahead...
Reaching to you
The smile that I see reaching out to you,
Makes me think that you’ll let me through.
Our hands almost touch,
Voices to be...
Abuse
You make me cry the way you talk to me.
It’s like I am crying a storm.
You hit me,
And yell in my face.
I don’t think you know what...
