I didn’t mind loneliness until I did
Though better said, is “not noticed”
My plan to go to online school
To get ahead and have more fun
If tomorrow never comes
and I’ve still not found a way
to do the things I’d like to do
but failed to day-by-day,
I just want you to know
the dreams that I possessed,
the hopes that kept me going,
Whiny Hermione liked to groan and complain.
She whined when it was sunny.
She whined when it rained,
and Monday through Sunday,
it didn’t matter what day,
Hermione would groan
For so long, I kept trying to defend you,
And I would always try to justify the things that you would do.
Even though I knew it was true, I would always try to deny it,
Last night all of my fears had come true,
Because when I was walking home, I ran into you.
I saw you out of the corner my eye,
I am the worst person in the world because I am ruining life and not living to my potiental.
Everyone says that it will get better.
But i'm starting to get impatient.
"Fly To Sigh"
Fly, fly, fly, away;
This not your lucky day,
Try, try, try, again;
Your pestering days are about to end.
I tried.
I tried.
I tried; I really fucking tried.
You're in my mind all damn day and I can't stop thinking about you.
New year.

She's only in 2 of them with me.
Last year, she was in all of them.
I still see her.

I sneak glances.
We don't talk.
Fireflies glow in the dark.
Lightning always strikes something.
Rain pours down.
Lightning and Rain like to speak to each other a lot.

I write this,
thinking everything will be fine,
but I've learned not to get my hopes up.
Learned not to love too much.
Learned not to speak too much.
I write this,
Meu amor quando você sai
Quando você vai embora
É minha lua indo embora
É meu sol desaparecendo
Eu não como
Picking petals off English daisies
Never felt this lazy
Sitting beneath autumn-colored trees
The view is shady
Watching friends frolic, dogs crashing into piled leaves
My mind is hazy
Mujer, eras tan linda. Eras tan bonita
Fuiste tan educada, tan joven y llena de vida.
Eras tan amable. Eras tan hermosa
looking into a tilted half filled cup in the dark,
with your thumb and the index around the brim
qualifies so much for an eye from hades, I know
it tastes like sting, but something dreadful is staring
Dear Friends!
You constantly be there,
I expected you where.
A friend has a heart filled with affection,
With a strong spirit recharged with passion.
Dreaming is our souls voice from within.Connecting our brain and hearts true feelings.Dreams are the voice, that needs to be heard.Not like just any, but a black n white picture.

I am an old man. I have an old cat. The cat and I talk a great deal about my life, he’s a terrific listener, we speak every day, all damn day sometimes.
Two people, two different hearts, one is yours and the other is mine
These hearts both equally hurt by worldly things
From the highest peak of Everest
to the lowest plain of the tondra forest
I feel the chill of having to see
the beautifying elements of the salty sea
taking adventures on a friendly rest
A boy and girl in a photo, half a century old
Long hair on their heads, truly a sight to behold
Laughing and having fun, from a time now long past
Do they still remember, did their memories last?
All our feet were bare
And still soft against the tar
Our eyes fixed on the tattered ball,
Ears listening for a car
We'd have played all night too
The sun setting only could mar
The scuples of our zeal
I wonder what my old bedroom looks like now
those empty nights where my breathing no longer exists
will the trees notice there isn't a window to push their breeze in
my dog wondering the halls wondering why its silent
Every night my mind plays melodies
From a song I haven’t quite learned yet
Perhaps I never will
But she also weaves thank you letters
Thank you’s for all the people in my life
The ones who left me
Life was coming to see you on weekends
When nights turned into dew drops on your car
When the sun seemed to rise before we had the chance to say goodbye to the moon.
I miss the days of aimless wandering
I've had friends
Invisible, and solid
Some, and then none
One, and only one,
Some who loved to please me
While others dared to deceive me
Those who've looked into my eyes and lied
We are friends
Always have been
Even as we slowly grow apart
We are friends
Together forever
Through thick
Through thin
Through mistakes
Through achievements
Through everything
Despite all the mirrors I've walked past,
I could never see myself
When my finger touched the reflection,
Printless marks left the glass
A fragment of unimportant dust
The loudest whisper you never heard
Seasons by: Luis V
Some people are meant to come and go
Some people stay in your life for a season or more
Some people are meant to stay with you until death
As the brilliant sun plummets gradually into the dark night
The abundance of aspiration is blight
Her reveries infrequent, sporadic, a humdrum,
Her porspect dwindles to some
Falling in love is like blinking an eye
It happens so quick, so suddenly
You don’t realize it’s been done
Your attitude just changes, but it’s like it never did
Friends: Your chosen family;
I still have yet to pick someone worthy.
I have chosen wrong before in the past,
And time is going fast.
Where's the Stitch to my Lilo?
I knew he was special
He was tame unlike the others
He walked apart
Always lost in fantasy
His eyes the color of caterpillars
His shirt wrinkled
you were my true blue soul friend
we had a bond deeper than any I had known before
we laughed and cried
we shared our secrets
i trusted you with the deepest parts of my heart
it feels so easy to let the world slip away.
old friends pass like water
through shriveled fingertips
on aching, time-shorn hands.
the evergreen forest outside brick walls
I have a late night McDonalds crew.
I'm betting you wish you had one too.
We go and we get ice cream and fries.
I'll usually go for two apple pies.
Three girls and a boy, well an honorary female.
You can never really tell when a girl has been through trauma.
And she'll hardly ever bring it up for fear of sounding like a melodrama.
But I believe it's good to share, it could help others with the strain.
I wonder,
sometimes,
if all my friends are forgetting me.
If someday
I will stop seeing them,
stop hearing their voices,
if one day
they will simply
disappear
from my life.
you pace around my mind like you don't know where you're going,
and i don't have a roadmap.
i think i'm even more lost than you are.
feelings,
take an ax to my head
bullet to my heart
knife to my back
how it is,
if you going to say something, Say it
if your going to do something, Do it
It's Funny...
If you show you don't care
people start to beleive it.
they start to hurt you
then they leave you
Then your laying there cold
tears fall down your cheecks
First to speak never counts
Reason always takes the back seat
Important decisions are made together
Entertainment is the bread and butter
Never too much or too little
Doubt is the universal poison
First to speak never counts
Reason always takes the back seat
Important decisions are made together
Entertainment is the bread and butter
Never too much or too little
Doubt is the universal poison
There are hours of the night when time stands still. Most of these hours lead to the gray light of dawn, the sudden realization that a new day has come to wear still more on my patience.
- Stanza 1: Son
Hello?
Who are you?
You are me.
But I'm not.
I mean I'm what their I's want me to be.
I am who they are.
And they are who I am.
But now I look at the I AM,
#Memories
I lost myself in words last night,
It could be a dream as i was high,
Some memories i was passing by,
revising some older highlight.
Everyday, every minute, every second
I feel like I am worthless
Whatever I do is never good
I feel like I am alone
With no friends
A friend is a star that twinkles in the starless night,
It will always be there for you like a fearless knight,
We all look our grandparents and think we'll live forever, that we're invincible. Like we've got time to worry about small things that mean nothing at the end of the day. The things we think are big are actually tiny if you think about it.
How much longer will I be alone
With only my old friends back home
To tie me to life with love
With lines strong and true
But so few, so few.
How much longer will I walk this path
Alone in the darkness
When someone says Fall
What do you think of?
Do you think of how far you'll go?
How fast it takes in order to fall
And when you'll hit the ground?
Smoke billows in the air
Laughter and jokes ringing in your ears
Adults acting like children
Having a good time,
And dancing to loud music
She may have broken
Into a million pieces
But that doesn't mean
She isn't happy with
How it all ended
Her Skies are colored with
You never seemed capable of such change,
never dreamed that you could have forgotten
all those hot summer days we once shared.
You told me how you wanted to cut
Your bronze hair is tied back in a loose bun,
strands falling down to tickle
your pale neck.
Down the side
of a forgotten plastic pint
The trail I walk is
Well-traveled, yet familiar to none.
Clouds can creep in, inviting
Unwelcome storms
From every direction, heard
And felt
Deep inside me.
My life, defined by a roller coaster of trials and tribulationsLike the prisoner, thrown in a lion’s pit, unprotected and vulnerableImbroglio in a maze of hardships and adversityClouded by the “fatal prejudice” of humanity. Dragged and chained by
A hand ruffled through hair,
a kiss on the cheek,
hearing humming sweeping
from the warm kitchen.
A pat on the back,
hand clasped in hand,
a foot against a foot
I was told to tie my laces,
And keep my glasses on.
That I needed to stay their paces,
Or end up mowing lawns.
"Be the best now so you'll be the best then!"
Always seemed to be my anthem.
Her mother, the symbol of absolute perfection
won’t be seen until the resurrection
her father, the symbol of wisdom and power
is gone in his darkest hour
Seems like just yesterday you lit up the world with your smile.
You never really liked your smile but I did.
Maybe it wasn't perfect but it was yours and I liked everything that was yours.
Some stay and some leave. Some take your faith and others make you believe. Some like how you can be used, others like to heal your bruise. Some are like plastic and some are freaking fantastic. Some live close, while others are far away.
spinning spinning round and round
nowhere noone slows it down
hands outstretched tryingtheir best
i grasp and i claw my mind knows no rest
it is like the world is muted
spinning spinning round and round
the room is empty; the wind, stopped.
the room is quiet; the world, silent.
the room is dark, the light has left.
the room is cold, the warmth decided to leave.
Medusa, Queen of Snakes,
but yet a gentle soul,
and all she wanted to do was bake,
so she grabbed the coal
and began to work on making the bread
and all accross the land
they knew her name,
The stars around me, that push me,
Are the ones who burn. Who
Breathe the flames of tongue and language
And laugh to paint skies blue.
Their firy smiles spark
And make me run and leap.
We were once friends too
Until stronger feelings came
We laughed and talked just like you two until we realized
So dont tell me not to be jealous
Bcs we were once just friends too
If you're going to the same party I am,
please don't ask where I'll be.
I'll be wearing my revenge dress, dancing with a boy with blue hair or a girl with a nose ring,
and you don't want to see that.
When I was a child
I had dreams of great feats.
Dreams of big things,
with the ones I would meet.
I stargazed and wondered,
how my life would turn out.
Unsure of my future,
Nolan,
I know this might sound cheesy, but you will make yourself a home someday I just
know it.
That home will be a place where you can escape all of your hardships.
Look at my insecuritiesSave your complimentsI'll never believe them anywayCheck out my problemsWatch them grow asYou point them to to meI'm just a sad boyWhy aren't you tired of me yet?
Never leaving time or space;
Always evolving but never a race.
We see them for their fabled powers,
But inside us their strength flowers.
I'm sitting on your bedroom floor
talking about nothing
but how could I not want more?
you're laying in bed
telling me about your latest fantasy
asking if the same thoughts are running in his head
Do you remember the days, the nights, the adventures we always used to share? Flying away on wings of laughter that were built on mutual care. Five good friends and lots of fun was all I used to need.
A series of fortunate events led me to grow up, to glow up, to dream of living more by the Torah - to give up my childish dreams and rebellious fantasies. Number One - All my “number one”s suddenly seemed immature and annoying.
One day you wake up and something seems different,
You can’t quite figure out what it is that instant.
So many people you were friends with seem immature and kid-like,
Comparing them to you is like night and day light.
I look in the mirror
Reflecting back
I don't like what I see
Group of girls besides me
Looking pretty
Why can't that be me?
They try to reassure me
I see the lies through their teeth
"REBMEMER."
Those are the 8 black letters tatooed on his chest.
The eight letters that are actually "REMEMBER" backwards,
So that every morning, when he wakes up on base,
I went to the hospital to visit my little sister;
a newborn baby near her death bed.
As I said hello but not goodbye
the world seemed to be JUST fine.
That was when I realized;
I am not a toddler.
from helping hands,
and kind hearts,
came a cautious question:
what happened to you?
but how could i explain
the assault on my brain?
dying
eyes stare vacant
Who put the baby in the drivers seat
Beause I promise you I´m like 12
Why are you putting these keys in my hand
Ok I guess this is happnening
I used to have a car seat
It was blue AND pink with little flowers
Pink flowers decorate my room,
but I don't feel pink inside.
My dolls stare into my soul,
not at the cup of invisible tea.
I prefer Adult Swim than Spongebob.
I throw my childhood away.
I want to tell you,
believe me,
I really do.
But I can't bring myself to.
You see, it hurts you when you know.
So I hide it from you,
from everyone.
It's been a year.
A friend has gone
And left the house.
We try and try and try
To earn the friend back,
But they cut their own ears off.
It's been a year and a half,
Puzzle Pieces
The connection here is lost, unruly and static.
Trying desperately to make it work,
like putting puzzle pieces
in the wrong place.
To be forgotten,
Becomes my greatest fear.
My tears keep falling to where they are gotten,
Seeking for anyone near.
A person may leave or stay,
To know the reason, if I may.
A person can always get hurt,
Only if they didn’t make the cut.
I am a garden.
This garden knows unrequited love.
This garden gives unconditional love, nonetheless.
Ripping and tearing bits and pieces out.
A bouquet of smiles and hope.
Timeless
Black coffee drawnone seat at the table.
Mingled soundsmuted distractions.
Lives flowing in our houseintermingled senses.
Passing without pausetimeless dismissals.
I'm Losing them.
What will I do?
midnight trips
laughter by the fire—
all Gone,
faded Memories.
What will I do—
getting drunk on good vibes
all those sleepless nights
What has happened to the days of truth?
When one could trust their neighbor, their family, a friend
Everywhere I look trying to see through the mist, the fog that hides our true intentions
Changing, yesterday, today...
If life, this is the way.
Friends today, they are here and there...
Wow, it s a lot to bare.
Really, I think; do they care?
Work, new people you meet...
A boy in my class told a tale of how he and another made love in the kitchen
How they blended peach and banana into a sultry smoothie
How they knocked everything off the countertops
You wear a brave facade to hide your fear of the dark.
Looking
Looking for another light to follow
because your own light has finally dimmed
A Year Alone
I chose to go,
to somewhere that was quite unknown.
A Year Alone;
A long plane flight.
I cried myself to sleep that night.
A Year Alone,
Strange Family.
When I was small
I would believe
That Fairies surrounded me
And protected me
From the bad
But when I grew
My fairies turned to dew
And formed my tears
And leaked to the ground
I dreamed of home last night
Home
The dream was dark and silent
There was no plot, setting, or characters
It was me
In the dark
All smiles
All happiness
But I don’t know why
Are they making me happy?
I tell myself yes
I think I’m trying to reassure myself
A Light dusting of snow
I know the snow can be frightening
I see your eyes as the snow turns to ice
I see the the frostbite crawl up your walls
crawl up my hand
I don't care
I made the mistake of allowing myself to dip my toes into the water
And letting myself get carried away into the deep end.
I couldn’t find it in me to save myself
Because I never learned how to swim.
I made the mistake of allowing myself to dip my toes into the water
And letting myself get carried away into the deep end.
I couldn’t find it in me to save myself
Because I never learned how to swim.
Familiar sounds, my childhood grounds
But rest is far from me tonight
The voice that hounds, tension abounds
And you are far from me tonight
I try to console my anxious soul
Frivolous, and yet I'm strategic when I play chess,Trying to be honest and I'd be lying if I saidI'm oblivious and wasn't thinking of what happens next,I'm always looking a few moves ahead...
Materialstic things portray valuables and possessions
I went from rags to riches
And learned life's lessons
Get rich or die trying, some said
But that's not factual to me
Got money but want to be dead
not even a brokenheart
just a
forgottenheart
i just felt we
we connected
friendship of course, years of history us
but more
more ?
i thought
just from me though ?
the group chats and the group spats
the meet-ups and the chill-outs
the parties and the sleeping over
stick and poke tattoos and eyebrow slits
this is what makes us friends
this is what makes us feel
Some people remember memories in the form of words, sounds, and images
I remember memories, the smells of the grass, the honeybees
I remember the smell of the dressing room
Your cologne, perfume, the living room
Tan is a state of mind
It's not how your skin looks
how it tightens and glistens
It's how the tan came to be
Through the fun and the games
This feeling is rare
And this time it's really there
This emotion that some feel
Just feels all too real
I can't breathe when I think of you
I hope I mean as much to you
You are all I ever wanted
I been searching for love for quite some time now
I Couldn’t find it with him.
Searching all around, up and down
still couldn’t find “the one”
Went out with my friends
Wanted to be distracted
I want to genuinely smile and have real friends that make me laugh..
Even more than that - I really want to get my life back on track...
But it's hard to have hope for the future - cause I just can't let go of the past....
I won't say I'm in love.
I like your hair,
I won't say I'm in love.
I like how you don't want to catch my eyes,
I won't say I'm in love.
Insecure souls,Walking on their own dead bodies,Emotionless,
coz they don't care, even less,
They say, don’t kiss and tell,
They say, don’t tell after we kiss,
Shaken inside, coz I can’t miss, every taste of the feel.
Maybe I’m crazy,
Maybe I’m lazy,
Our church is going on a campout...
Tents with sand tracked in
and river-soaked clothes tossed
over sleeping bags.
A trail of trampled brush
leading to a brilliant fire
The silver cord of friendship
Runs all throughout one's life
And strings together people:
Their souls with all their strife
-
It weaves a precious fabric
So delicate, unseen
And as it's underlayment
Beside Me
I need to slow down; I think that she’s that she’s behind me,
If he’d looked around he would
Have said,
‘I didn’t see you beside me!’
Defend your heart the one who holds
the answers to many mysteries untold,
to love the one who lets you grow old
and endure the path of brick and stone
To capture the hearts of others is gruesome
Thank you.
It’s never said enough,
But when it is said,
It’s said with much appreciation.
But who do I thank?
I thank my parents,
I am not perfect
Though I have tried to be
Sometimes
I still try to be
There is something about being flawless that
Mutes my inner voice as it pauses to bathe
In steamy ecstasy
That very high
I am a leader I embody the traits of those before me I am Sean’s unwavering voice motivating the team I am Catherine’s unbending kindness to even those that are hard to love I am Emily’s hospitality towards all that cross her path I am CSM Gadra’
Started out,
Observation of 2 other entrepreneurs,
Watching them make money,
Started to burn my head.
Knowing I had the ability,
Match them head on instead,
Asking friends to join me,
I'm thankful for the little things,
No matter how small they may be.
But what I'm thankful for most of all,
Is the friendship of you and me.
I met this girl who did not like talking.
I felt so bad I wanted to start crying.
I tryed talking to her to get a understanding.
That's when we started chatting.
Turns out we both liked anime.
It’s gone now, isn’t it?
What they said would last forever?
All our friendship, all our ‘family’,
Beside me ever perilous
Stands a figure clear
The wake of every morning
Is outshadowed by him near
He talks of nothing personal
I remember the day you left
The moving van pulling out of the drive
Leaving me by myself
Leaving me to fight for myself
For so long it had been ma and you against the world
I don't care if your here I dont care if you're not
I don't care if your a woman I don't care if you're a man
I don't care if you're young I don't care if you're old
My mama told me that friends come in all shapes and sizes.
The people closest to you are variations of you;
People who have qualities that you want to see in yourself.
New friends and beautiful Allegheny sunshine
gave the impression things would get better.
Momma and I needed to do some healing and
wemade sure to make lots of new acquaintances
so we'd have "love" and "support".
"I feel like I don't really know much about you,"
Spoken by three friends I have known for over two hundred days.
Only a little over half a year is really no time at all though.
the gold and crimson spilled over the grass
flowers bloom through the
snow
the sunset was one of the few beautiful things there
a rural area
It started slow and subtle this friendship strong
Quiet hellos went two years long
Yet connection was there between the heart
It's weird what brings people together,
like a shitty job at a discount store
or love of a smelly green plant
or art or one university class that is honestly worthless
but you made friends, right?
Dirty blonde hair that was always greasy because
your family had one bathroom
with six
seven
eight people
and you always came last to every single one.
Sisters' boyfriends and strange neighbors
I hope your husband treats you better
than your mom's boyfriend treated her.
I'm sorry I mentioned their violence when we fought-
a bad time to bring it up
but I guess I knew we were through.
Adolescent girls held each other when movies got scary
and spied on their neighbors during weekly feuds.
Conversations about homework and boys
danced around them like a protective halo.
You and I haven't said a word to each other in ages
the last time I heard your voice was seven years ago.
So how come I still remember the story you told me
about the night your dad left,
“I’m alone and I don’t even care anymore.”
Is what I have convinced myself.
When can I stop pretending?
The smoke and the screen gives the dark room
a milky blue haze
and even though you're not home right now,
you're all right,
because you love your people here.
The kush has calmed your anxiety
Twelve years old with a huge fabric binder,
a new pair of shoes,
and the exact same wardrobe as the year before.
The shoes were maroon and grey
and "only cost fifteen dollars!" my mom said.
Like warfare and religion go hand in hand,
you and I could bring out the best
or the worst
in each other.
Passion and righteousness clouding all judgement
but we were just wanting to do the right thing.
Aren't best friends supposed to be with you till the end?
I thought that to myself as I watched them turn their back.
Deceiving is what it's called. Maturity is what they lack.
I gave so many, so many chances
Yet,
How do you love one person so much
That the world just stops
That instead of a person
They're just an idea
A passion
They rule your thoughts
Your stories
I love you!
And I don’t know how to tell you that I love you
Is the problem that we’re having here
The thing is you don’t even realize
How much I love you
And you won’t unless I make you realize
Drink, drank, drunk...
Kerplunk.
A woman across the bar has been eye fucking you for a while now
but you were too far gone to notice and that ship has sailed and sunk.
Felines vs. the K9s.
In a last minute tribute to you, sir,
I write this poem.
Hopefully, then I'll be able to go on.
It started when I first laid eyes on you.
It was a Wednesday evening,
you
are hurting my mind
hurt me to think about
hurt me to be without
i thought about you today
and i felt the pain in my chest
where you were not leaning
Oh look how the rose withers.
Oh look how the petals fall.
With time it begins to shrivel,
Till time fine’ly makes its call.
Scarlet red
and dandelion yellow,
the two colors of my right brain.
In my temple of youth,
swirling and inspiring,
are the remnants of pain.
The first time you asked for a hug I flinched.
It was because of you.
But it was not.
It was all about me.
My head was playing a horror movie.
When I told my friend that I liked a boy she was ecstatic. She gushed. She squealed. She urged me forward.
When I told my friend he asked me out she screamed. She laughed. She yelled. She asked me when we were going out.
But with a sweet forgetting
The distance between us…
The clouds that are cool for all their setting
Pure as rose-lipped shell
One day I picked a daisy
Full of life and flower dreams
Some may say I’m crazy
But I'm telling you it sings
Tonight it hums a playful tune
I could get lost in the beatuy of your eyes
Compare the, to the beatuy of nature
Crystal blue lakes, perciuos gems
I could say they remind me of home
Of feeling safe
Call your eyes bright as the stars
Is it over?
This war that we have
Is it over?
Doesn't matter because you took my heart and threw it into a bulldozer
I don’t think I’ve ever been more sad
It was the beginning of school, and I was having an extremely boring day,
when I made a change, without thinking what may of happen to me
Come in, sweet friend!
Speak to me in calm whispers as I study the kindness in your heart.
Your brown eyes fade from my memory as you slip the knife into my back.
I learn there is none.
The razor no longer slides through my wrist,
But I'm bleeding through the falling tears.
I have it all. I have the friends.
I have the love. I have the family.
“The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine.” -Cherry Wine, Hozier
The wine-red honey
courses through her elastic veins
as it had for years and years,
Would you care?
Would you care
If I disappeared
Out of sight
Out of mind
It wouldn't be any different
I'm like a toy to you
One day you say
Dear [former] Best Friend,
I hope you've not forgotten memories
of childhood fun and fantasies. Dear heart,
do you remember we were sisters too?
Who once shared hurts, laughter, secrets? It seems
It's something special
Between what you and I have.
The bond that enlightens me
And I know you see it, too.
Funny how you and I were once strangers
In the garden of life
There were four flowers
Unlikely to be seen growing together
Yet they all stood out amongst the weeds
A letter to the Universe
The first bell, it rang at 8:05
The first day when he stepped his feet on the Holy ground
United States, the land of opportunity
Do you think about me the way I do about you?
Do you reminisce about the past we once shared?
I await the day when I can hold your hand again and smile because of our love
Do you think about me, too?
GRADUATION POEM
By: Eric Fraley
Here today
Here we sit
Class of 2017
Amongst our friends
Our fellow classmates
The time we spent
memories we Made
Faithful friendship
hearts have made
Forever apart
Nothing between us
Always there
when One of us need us
I’m quiet and go unseen
It’s truly the best way to really see.
I see the face behind the mask, the one who frowns behind the laugh.
I see the need behind the smile, the one that lies to please the crowd.
Wake up at night
all I can see is your face
ten years and still not right
I wake up and think about
if someday in the void of bright white light
My sad eternal tears keep coming back . . .
And once again I must shed my tears to go and cry . . .
Despair is all I got to hold my back. . .
My sad eternal tears keep coming back . . .
And once again I must shed my tears to go and cry . . .
Despair is all I got to hold my back. . .
Sweet, sweet girl, don’t lose that heart
Even though sometimes, things will fall apart.
Value your daddy and all the sacrifices he will make
You don’t yet understand all he’ll end up doing for your sake.
Dear Life,
Why must you bore me?
Why must I fill myself with blasts of RGB from a screen just to have purpose?
Why can't you satisfy me?
Why must I let you make me such a mess?
Dear twenty-seventeen
there's a lot of things you showed me
like how time can move so slowly
then get faster than you'd like
there's a lot of things that happened
like my highschool days at home
are they really my friends or are they just friends when they wanna be
isn't it all in my head because i mean who wants to be friends with me
it's all a lie
they can't love me if I can't even love myself
Dear Future Self,
Do you remember the beat
The thumping of feet
Up and down the halls
In and out of classrooms
You know how in college being rejected is emotionally easier than being waitlisted. Being waitlisted toys with your heart— you were good, but just not good enough. Wait and see if you finally make the final cut.
dear elizabeth,
how are you? i hope you're doing well
i, however, am ready to raise hell
i'll spare you the details, but i think you should know
that things are really fucked up
and its starting to show
Dear friend,
I love seeing you every morning.
Your presence makes me shutter.
I enjoy our small talk. It's nice.
Sometimes there's silence. It's nice.
I love you
Yes, I love you immensely but
the inevitable
is inevitable
Everyone gets bored.
People like you and me,
get bored so easily.
The most exciting people to me
A competition you created—
anticipating the moment you tell me everything.
The way he touched your skin,
like a painter gliding his brush along a canvas.
Dear The People I Once Knew,
I remember the first day I saw you,
getting off a bus on the last day of sixth grade
You were ectatic
but I was...
Dear Loneliness,
I remember how you came into my life at the age of nine
When all my friends stood together at the front of the lunch line
Your ray of sunshine hath died. <br>Perhaps the things I thought true Were nothing but deafening lies, A façade. You were like a sister to me Always a shoulder to cry on. The room no longer glows a golden hue as you enter a room, But a mee
Letter Poem- Dear Best Friends
Hey! How have you guys been?
I’m sorry we all couldn’t keep in touch.
You were a stranger.
A soul far off.
I did not know you.
I did not know your thoughts,
You were but a mystery
like all the souls I don't know.
But unlike most of them
Yours has touched me so.
Before I frolicked with the seniors, a
Seemed they all so tall and kind. b
They held a certain calm demeanor, a
The cacaphony of the tape tearing.
A moment ago it was there,
the next it wasn't.
I floated away.
Craving one last moment.
One last memory.
The ammount of love that I offer is uncomparable to anything you might think.Because, the truth is, that I give my heart to many.And everytime, I surprise myself by finding,There is always more to give.
I remember that day
I had heard it many times that day,
Someone else had lost time.
Who? I wondered.
As if it was a broken record, frantically reaching for an answer in my mind.
Who could it be?
In the darkness of my mind,
In the fog throughout my world,
In the grey rain of my life
You are there
Like light piercing through the soul,
Like whispers of clarity,
Like a refuge from the storm
Dear Seniors,
Sometimes instead of putting down your stupid small town
That nobody has ever heard about
In the depths of Ohio,
You should appreciate it.
Dear Seniors,
Sometimes instead of putting down your stupid small town
That nobody has ever heard about
In the depths of Ohio,
You should appreciate it.
Dear best friend,
I already love you.
I'm in love with the way you smile when you look into the sky.
I adore the little wrinkles your nose makes when you laugh.
I love the melody of your voice.
The earth sits, bare.
How it wishes for there to be
One to bring water to the deserted field.
Let the seeds of the beautiful flowers and trees
Grow and grow until the bareness
can no longer be seen.
Are we broken?
Are we nothing?
Nothing to you even though we were glue.
Attached the joints.
I guess glue falls apart at some point.
As easily as put together we are we fell over at the slightest
breeze.
Another new place;
Another new road.
Another new school;
Another new home.
Each move just the last.
Pack up your clothes;
Pack up your shoes.
Pack up your books;
Let me tell you a story
Of her heavy mind that cried
Every night to the moonlight
As she always questioned why.
Let me tell you a
You cannot cry for them,
They don’t care.
They don’t,
And it’s that simple.
She excludes you on purpose,
Pushes you away.
You thought she was your friend,
But I guess you thought wrong.
Dear first friend
The moon has orbited the earth about 6 times
Since you’ve been gone
I know this because every night I like to think that were walking across the moon
As we talked about when we were young
Autumn air cools a townhouse
on one mediocre Friday evening.
Christmas lights have been -s-t-r-u-n-g- around the
ceiling's perimeter,
giving the atmosphere an orange glow.
Three friends talk
laugh
I love you with all that I am
And sometime’s that’s scary
But you say you love me too
Even though I’m fucking crazy
You are my all
I hope you know this simple fact,
And if you don’t by now,
I’m gonna say I’m sorry for you,
Because all I can say is…
Wow.
I sort of hate your face,
And your kind-of crooked smile,
The memories that we make, I hold dear to me.
They are stories, I like to believe
That I will read when I ache for normality.
They are tales of my home,
A place that is filled with heart-warming smiles
When I saw you I didn't know who you could beWhen I met you I didn't know who you would beWhen I spoke to youI didn't know who you wereWhen you heard meI didn't know you were listening When you made me laughI didn't know I was gaining my best frie

Whenever you're down, my best friend,
When you feel as though the world is against you,
I'll be right there next to you.
And when you feel as though nothing matters,
Or that your burdens are too heavy,
I talk
When you
Don’t have the words,
Because I love you.
I listen
When you
Have news to share,
Because I love you.
I smile
When you
Lack the strength to,
Love isn't always easy,
Challenges may come your way.
But as long as you hold hand in hand,
You will live to see another day.
Everything is up to you,
You have your pen to write.
Because I love you….
I will allow you into my heart,
I will share my secrets with you,
Because I know they are safe with you.
I will cry in front of you..
And with you..
You won’t even grow.
You’ve always got tabs,
You’re trying to sell but your funds are so low.
You’re high when you’re in class,
You might not even pass,
We pull eachother close
Myself sober, yourself a drunkard
comforting me after a recent breakup
you hiccup, i smile
i feel you breathe, the smell of fireball on your lips
Because I love you I will look out for you I will take care of you I will not hurt you Because I love you We may argue sometimes We might get angry, but We will always say, “I’m sorry”. Because I love you You will never be alone You will never
Love you yet I feel I missed my shot
I told you again and again you laugh
But still I can't get you out of my thought
Heart restless searching for its other half
I told you again but then you walked out
I had waited.
For.
The rain to stop.
But.
The sky stayed open.
And.
It did not seem.
Like
You would arrive
Sadly.
Then I found out.
That.
I
Know
You
Saw
Me.
My
Body
And
Mind
Were
Weak
And
Fragile
My
Heart

Louder
Harder
Than

She took a look at the cold body,
Broken,
Bruised,
Beaten,
Left for dead,
With very little warmth left in her.
A small touch sent heat flooding all over Her body,
I dare not hope 'cause
I know it can't happen
Dreams aspired,
Broken, shattered.
I want to go back home
where we loved each other
Sure, money was tight
but we did all right
As I stand there amazed
Awe-Struck, and stargazed
Sitting and Staring I get lost in those eyes
She's so beautiful, words can't explain, she is my prize
In every moment I think of her
You do not deserve to be mocked.
You are worth more than that.
People do not get to take your success from you.
You earned that.
Friends
By: William Pia
School, we mostly see it as making friends,
Spending time with them daily in classes.
Every thirty minutes of lunch extends,
Our Love was like that of paper.
In the beginning it was
Weak and susceptible to tear.
But as our bond grew stronger,
Our paper folded,
Still vulnerable but unbreakable.
The light in the dark that surrounds me
To look at my flaws and love me anyways
My friends, my family, those forever beside me
I love you because...
Love is the conjoining force that adorns the souls,
Love is the pendulum swing of reciprocity.
It is the balancing act of Harmony that follows an “ I do”.
It is the laughter lunging from the mouths of best friends.
Family isn’t confined to 6 lettersIt’s all encompassingPieced together with blood and timeAnd I findThat the one’s who want to stayWill.
In this life, we are taught to feel as though
we need to be filled to continue to flow.
The words of our loved ones can
encourage our growth,
but what happens when that
isn't necessarily so?
Remember
When we first met
Darkness like a cloud
Suffocating me with a chain.
A prisoner
With an unknown sentence.
You stepped in then,
12:19 // smile.
You said "Hello"
A friend just asked me If I like anybodyAnd that one question Brought back memories of another time when That question ha
No two strangers
as strange as they be
will ever as strange,
as you, or as me.
We may walk different ways
with distance between what we believe,
but we might never quite grasp
Because I love you
Means asking how your day was
Or what you want to eat.
I love you means
"I've got you,"
I'll never let you fall to your feet.
It means something deeper
Ty is the name of a boy
who is my friend
that takes me on the occasional adventure.
I'll never stop writing about those adventures.
He used to live in Springfield, right of Centennial.
I did what you said because you said, "I love you"
I didn't hesitate because I believed every word that spilled out of your mouth
Yet when I didn't like what you said or did I kept it to myself
Because I love you,
You should never fear what life has in store for you.
You shouldn’t fear failure,
Because in my eyes you’ll always be number one.
for Sofia
Last night you came over
Slept over
On a school night
The next morning
We walked in hand in hand
And I got looks from my friends
I love you,
With this Life.
You will be my Wife
I will continually try,
Please, do not cry.
I will always Love you,
& This is True
Even after I die
We are joined at the hip
Just like siamese twins.
Inseperable, but I don't mind a bit.
You'll always be my go to,
Because I love you.
Why have me condemned?
At times disdained.
They is no joy in loneliness
especially without holiness.
In my quest for comfort
I always get hurt
shedding nothing but tears,
im sitting in my room
my back against the wall
tears slide down my face
thought i gave it my all
i had a friend
or so i thought she was
my family tried to reassure me
A couch and a loveseat
Watching two friends pass a bong,
and (finally) extending your hand.
She holds the bong for you on her leg,
her other hand on the bowl.
"All you have to do is breathe."
A humble woe am I
With many compassions
But no motion for emotion
For there is no commotion
In this non-amorous notion
A lad,
Seeking nothing but the joyfulness
In everyday animation.
So I love you
But you already knew that
I loved you with all of your insecurities and flaws
I loved you when you were given praises, the most high
I will still continue to love you after we get through this mess
She was waiting
For that one wish
With faded memories
Her mind exploded
Nostalgia; the only feeling
With, she was dealing
Many wishes, but
Not that person to say
To have a friend
Is all you need
To talk to others
In order to succeed
I never had that choice
To be loved by my peer
Simply cause of my voice
Others were filled with fear
You always had a smile
full of knowledge and life
Different from others at school
yet, they treated you like a fool
In the last days of summer
the school days were a bummer
Those we love don't go away
They walk beside us each and everyday.
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
So loved, so missed, so very dear.
Your life was a blessing Your memory a treasure,
Once upon a time
A wolf was abandoned by his mother.
With no sisters nor brothers,
He became a family of one.
Days of roaming alone became weeks.
Then months.
Then years.
Where am I going?
Where have I been?
Where am I headed?
Where have I stayed?
Where have I grown?
Where have I diminished?
Hickory dickory dock,
Cinderella said "screw the clock".
She stayed at the ball,
She danced with them all,
the women, the men, the short, and the tall.
Her gown went from fab,
To totally drab,

She should’ve chosen me.
Instead, I watch closely to the boy, the wasn’t me.
I wish I could be a He.
I wish she would like a She.
"Grounded, you can't go out!"
I heard, he didn't have to shout.
"You can't go to the prom!"
I think, he should take that up with mom.
Dad slammed the door shut, off to work
I’ve been lost, wandering around in the dark
Silently begging for someone to come
Find me.
To lead me out of the dark woods
Shine a light to show me the path out
With a strong hand to keep me from stumbling.
I saw our treehouse yesterday.
It was strange seeing it in a state like this.
The wood is crumbling, the glass broken, water leaking.
I remember when we were young
As the paint-soaked brush lightly glossed the enamel of my nails, I felt the cool purple color brighten up my mood. Until, my mother said, “You’re painting your nails pink?!
Back when we were all friends Back when nobody used to judge each other – Because of popularity Or current trends.
A night in the city
T'was when the story began,
After a young girl sought
To buy her mother a fan.
The night was shining,
Though with limited light,
And could still clearly see
Will they ever know how much they mean to me?
How even on the hardest days they could make me smile?
When I was at my worst
when I had no reason to go on,
when I was done with the world,
Spoken Intro:
“All of a sudden, it’s like you’ve become aware of your own existence, how unwhole you are.
And you’re constantly being reborn...
Again...
And again...
And again...
And again.
I was once a spoiled child.
Taking everything for granted, I hardly stopped to notice my way of thinking.
Forever complaining,
Hardly thanking.
She is always there for me when I need her the most,
She always gives me what I need, and to her I toast.
What you did to me, ya she already knows,
So be prepared for the show.
How long will it take you to realize you are fake?
Don't you see, people are leaving you alone, doesn't your heart ache?
I thought we were friends, but you are just a nasty snake.
I wonder if you think of me
During the time in between
When I saw you then
And I see you again.
Do I linger in your consciousness
Like you have settled into mine.
smoking a cigarette
is like feeling like you're getting away with something.

spoke so softly,
Friends are supposed to be forever
Or as they say "BFF'S"
But that’s not true at all
I lost a friend or two along the way
All because of a little fight
You show up
Blowing smoke rings
And making light in the dark
Like my all-knowing caterpillar,
Full
Of intelligent euphemisms
Cleverly
Boom boom
Boom boom
She runs a race
She can not win
Love out love in love out
Again and again
A pointless feat
Yet she pushes, again
Too much the pain
It is knowing you did everything
with what you had while still questioning
what more you could've done,
why you didn't try more,
how you could've done better,
when exactly you said or did the wrong thing.
In a world full of noise, you are my music.When I was dropped by the wayside, you gave me hope.In a dark world, you are my light.When I was cold, you warmed me up.Even though I go against your word, you still wish me luck.While I was falling down,
I wore my lies
like a second skin
could'nt cover my eyes
as i burned from within
i was never really wise
an cowardess wasn't really my thing
i could never stop the sighs
I can see the grass grow higher
-Oh how must this life come easy
To grow as the wind blows
-If only it was as swift to rest in peace
I chose team B.
I know you won't believe me.
But I had a choice of who I could be
And I made the right one, as far as I see.
Team A has a captain who's handsome and tall

Where I'm From by Ryan G.
The ground is where I'm from, born out if the dust and dirt.
I am from my family, and their laughter and love.
A year ago today I was in a shell I did not know what to say because I felt like Hell. Broken, hurt, and very sad I looked upon my life I didn't have to be this bad I didn't need this strife. Over days, and weeks, and months I began to see the l
Only yesterday feeling eight or three,
But here I am, turning seventeen.
So many changes have happened in the past year,
This year was harder than the rest
Had trouble with some classes, but I tried my best.
I will never forget the friends I made,
Grades will be forgotten, but the memories will never fade.
I found my real friends
Marketed an iPad app
And stressed for college.
(What's new?)
Nothing could break us apart.
We'd been friends for ten years.
I never knew a friendship could hurt,
but it did, more than anything.
Your words twisted in my head
I think that
I never understood how much
I could care, why
I love you so much, you frightened me
because I couldn't tell
where the line was
between friends and lovers
If I died, I’d cry
But if I didn’t, then I’d never be alive
I think I’m sad sometimes
But other times I think that I’m just lying
I like to sing out loud about death
And feeling bad, and never being their yet
when i first walked into the doors that led to the
next chapter of my life (high school by the way)
i was a fresh new me who thought i would make
the best grades possible and go to harvard but
the weatherman always lies.
Friends were supposed to bring the sun
but took it to another part of town
I couldn’t tell you what I thought at the beginning of this year
Every word people said were just words that…
Bounced off my ear
I graduated high school with a 4.0
Easy for me, everyone expected me to
I once was found with many of them,
many friends that were fun to be around, fun to talk to, and fun to hang out with.
None of them were close though.
I couldn't turn to them when sad, hurt, or alone.
Tight, close, that's what we were.
In our youth, we were always so sure.
We laughed and we cried, but we always stayed together.
We promised we would be forever.
The future follows behind me with a stern look and a jagged plea
As competition constantly stares back at me.
In the past year I battled the fists of friend crusades
Because of the stabs of pending test grades.
We were texting like we always did.
He joked around with me like a kid.
We were very close friends,
The grassy hillside beckons to me
I curl up in it’s inviting arms,
Only to be awoken by the one’s who pester and pry.
January cold crept into the air like a thief in the night,
But who knew what turning 18 could do?
Perhaps it might be met with either fright or delight,
Or could it be something completely new?
Best friends
we spend hours upon hours
listening
talking
laughing.
You and me it'll always be.
Always.
Such a loose term.
One day changed it all
Best friends
we spend hours upon hours
listening
talking
laughing.
You and me it'll always be.
Always.
Such a loose term.
One day changed it all
Do you know what a friend is?
One who is there for you and cares
One who no matter what is there for you
How can you call yourself a friend with the way you act?
You scream and shout
Dear world, I wanted you to know
That I wasn’t the same like 5 years ago
I was a nerd that everyone bullied on
There was no one there to tell me to be strong
One day I decided to be everyone else
Loud and fast times with friends.
Earned the name "The Usual Suspects"
Fires burned bright inside and out.
This year there are only physical scars and awesome stories to tell
Holding onto
A storm is impossible
When lightning stings,
Drops falls, Clouds roll,
And it hurts to hold on
To the rain storm.
She's from the hometown of astronauts
and I'm just the neighbor of a launch pad
her eye color should have its own name
because they're more beautiful than anything I've ever seen
the screen between you and me
No Thank You.
I don’t want the stress.
Senior year, college too
No Thank You.
I can’t deal with it.
Not all of the work.
She was an artist,
She was a beautiful, lost soul,
Everyone knew she would change the world,
Except for her,
She did not know what she would do,
She did not know her potential,
It isn't often that we sit down and think of the good,
The bad is always so pertinent.
It would be lovely, if everyone could,
Sit down and and think of what's important.
Im thankful for my family, and my friends.
I should never have written poetry for you.
I respect that you care for yourself,
But I hate that you never learned how to care for others.
I just needed a friend
Dark and dim in the closet
No room to breathe
I was suffocating
No one was able to see
January started strange
Touching, kissing, brand new games
Led to silence too loud to hear
What a welcome to the New Year
Next, February found
Losing a friend but gaining all around
For me it was gold
But for them its dirt
The way they treat
The way they speak
But whatever it is
I doesnt really fit
They came along
That wasnt too long
Both singing a song
I spend my days longing and striving for a perfection,I know I can never reach.I spend my nights planning for the day to come,Making goals I'll never meet.I feel I am accepting of others and their beliefs,Given they respect my own.I'm not very wel
You once had so much faith in me,a flower you said you wouldn’t let wilt

and trimmed my thorns

Expression: showing emotions through colour --
Music -- words -- creation.
You give other people insight
Into your feelings, because
Humans Are Social Creatures.
When you're healthy and young,
One doesn't have to know
for one to understand
They just have to listen
and be there to hold your hand
It's not too complicated
to show them that you care
Treat them with respect
Pounds of steel weigh heavy with each disappointment
It seems so hard to pick up and keep going in this reality
Sun rises and falls leaving the sky lonely and wounded
we stare at the television screen like fire as the five
eyed monster eats the rat girl in one loud crunch.
to my right he laughs, face stretched, eyes shut. to
my left she flinches like she can feel the teeth, like
I want to smile.
I want to be happy all the time.
I want to have fun with my friends.
That does not always happen.
Life gets in the way.
Ty and Me.Instantly connected.No matter how scary life may have been,We stick through to the end.Just Ty and Me.
I lounge around, frowning and pouting fretting about the past's improbable effects on the future.
I look back into the past as I walk forward, stumbling down on obsticals I could of manuvered.
We have
no need to go to the movies
Why take time to eat?
Let’s not laugh,
chortle,
or even talk.
All I want
I love the way your weight feels when you lean on me;
And when you twitch,
And when you cry,
I'll hold you close,
And stay awake,
To kiss your head & protect you from your monsters.
Old priviliged friend introduced to medicinal,
He loses touch then on his hip are mini missiles,
He said school was boring so he found a new way to have fun,
Rollin with new guys that all have guns,
You despise me,
yet I
desire you.
It's comical,
they say,
the way we
banter.
We smiled then.
I don't smile
now.
You left me behind
for bigger things;
Several souls around me -- some lost and some broken.
Drowing in thin air.
Their shirts drenched with the liquid courage that falls from their eyes.
Moving through the motions, blindly stumbling through time.
Several souls around me -- some lost and some broken.
Drowing in thin air.
Their shirts drenched with the liquid courage that falls from their eyes.
Moving through the motions, blindly stumbling through time.
If I am lost in a storm of doubts or a cloud of fear, call Lindsey.
If I cannot find the will to go on, get Maggie.
If I am in need of light or laughter, text Isabelle or Michelle.
We sit around the table
While the fire dances in the air
Silence filled the room like a swimming pool filled with water
Eyes connecting
Hands grip tightly on one another waiting for something to be spoken
Long drives with my friends
Seems like the fun will never end
No, we don't have a destination
Nor do we have any motivation
We just want to be together
Have some fun and live forever
Have I
Ever told you
What makes me
Smile?
It's not sunny days
Or pretty poetry
Or even my favorite stories.
A good friend
To just hang with and
Watch TV shows
I rise not for the sole purpose of
Having some place to be- which I do,
But rather, because I want to.
In times of uncertainty,
in times of great urgency,
Call a friend and tell him "Got an hour or two?"
Ignorance is bliss, but company is bliss to.
Grab a bite, or take a hike; whatever you choose
The other side of my own door,
All with the rain's own sad downpour,
Standing are two with both feet sore,
Paitently wait forevermore.
The two remind me of a time,
When the sunshine was so sublime,
Sitting in the grass as the fall breeze flows around me
The sun going down behind the pasture where our horses graze
Learning a song on my guitar that I just heard on the radio
This is my happy place
You will wish to have called just once more
To have heard their voice once more
To have held their hand when it wasn’t cold
To have hugged them tighter the last time you saw them
I’ve found my tribe
Finally, finally, finally
After years of girls with
Perfect hair, endless happiness
Look at them go, look at them
there go my girls
they're arm in arm
palm tree girls that
keep me warm
bring on the sunset
my summer stars
boardwalk fairs and
stealing hearts
Life can be rough
When emotionally, you are not that tough.
I try to keep my head up by enjoying the little things,
like coffee in my cup.
But life isn't all that bad, I have ways to keep myself from feeling sad.
There are days when I feel alone
Not knowing how to atone
For the reason why I am feeling
Like I should be concealing.
A text message grabs my attention
Filling me with apprehension.
When I'm feeling down
t turn to my friends, who are clowns,
and they help me turn back around
I love my little home.
But I don’t get paid for loving it.
I take care of it everyday, how come no one visits me?
Is this little house only for me?
I love my friends, all of them.
First time
I meet you
You meet me
And we become friends,
With no vested interest ,
We never knew each other before.
When you're here it's never for long enough.
I always forget the little things
Like how amazing you are, how much you mean to me, and how you make me feel
But also,
How you're always late.
I want to say I will never forget you
The truth is
I probably won't
I want to say I will never stop loving you
The truth is
I probably won't
I want to say you will always mean the world to me
Punk music blasting through the speakers. Warm summer air blowing through every strand of my hair.
stone walls I build around me
though my smile falters none
it's as if my will is caving
and i wish that i could run
run from the problems
run from the promises
I was elated and the whole throng,
Girls were clamourning a cheers song.
We frabjously watching the cricket match,
One after one enjoyed the defenders catch..
My team won the target,
Every dayIt's like they're embarrassed and ashamed.Like they don't want anyone to knowAbout my existence, and that takes a toll.
I never thought this day will come,
It never crossed my mind to say it.
But at long last it did, and it was worth to remember.
They always come and go, but you will stay forever,
Friend you left me alone today.
Heaven your mind will depart to.
Body stays to decompose down.
You are now part of Earth's soul.
Friend you left me days ago now.
Let me tell you where I'm at
Here at night supposedly alone,
Listening to songs that make me feel whole.
However there is Disappointment,
Self hate and his sister Anxiety,
All of them sleeping over.
Smokey room filled with chills,
Empty bottles, and pills.
Today's fears are tomorrows tears.
She feels Euronymous creep in,
As he shatters every seam.
Today she is seen but tomorrow dreamed.
"Stand up," they say,"Stand up and fight.You don't know what,It's like to brawl,If you haven't fought for your dying days.So stand up, stand up and fight." "But I try," you protest," I really do.They can't defeat me if I never lose." "You have l
I have an illness.
I have an illness you cannot see.
I have an illness you cannot see that is terminal.
I forgive.
I forgive you when you warn me.
I should have been more grateful.
So many people going away. So many people going separate ways. Long friends, having to make amends. Great memories; Now having to say goodbye. Trying to stay strong and not cry.
Have you ever wondered
If anybody's heart would tear
Draw your last breath but would they even care
Or would they shed a few tears for show
Sunflower of my withering heart,Oh how you bring me warmth,Like mountains your foundationsform around my worries,your voice soothes all woes. Smile and I'll smile,
Sunflower of my withering heart,Oh how you bring me warmth,Like mountains your foundationsform around my worries,your voice soothes all woes. Smile and I'll smile,
When I look at my friends,
Do you know what I see?
People that have meant the world to me.
That was what I thought,
And even still slightly feel,
But how much of it is real?
Outlandish tasks
Scribbled passionately
One: To meet the infamous
Ms. Oprah Winfrey.
As a puppy waits for Owner to return,
I suppose I would like You to know that I am sorry.
That’s how all apologies and the like are supposed to begin,
With that admission of guilt or regret or something that tastes like bile
Only so many times a heart can tear
So why did it?
None of you were there
Hard to think that
You'd believe all their lies
It left me tongue tied
So I cried
Have you ever felt alone?Like there's all these people around you at work or schoolSmiling and laughingWith their friendsAnd theirBest friends.
The beginning…
Their was not 1… not 2… not 3 or 4… but 5.
Vacant vessels, all scattered and lost.
All of which were bound to be together.
Empty, but with a craving for peace… love… serenity
The day I saw you
I thought the angel has come
The day I met you
I saw true love
Today was an off day for me
At my party/ movie day there were no "wees"
The get together was a bust
To no one, it was a "must"
Since no one attended,
No one comprehended
That they should have come
STEAL ME! Oh Turquoise Soleil,
Stuff me in your sack of toys to play.
OH just take me away in that Santa Clause bag.
Strip away my loneliness,
Give me to a friend.
STEAL ME! Oh Turquoise Soleil,
Stuff me in your sack of toys to play.
OH just take me away in that Santa Clause bag.
Strip away my loneliness,
Give me to a friend.
A spark
It connects
Not like love
But something
Just as special
Strings slowly
Reach out
And start
To tie
Into knots
Lots and lots
Until soon
All you see
The men march on ceaselessly into battle;Rifles strapped,Boots cleaned meticulously,Trained for the unknown war.
I always knew there was something about you
But never had the courage to really know
I would see you here and there
But never would speak to you
A hi and bye
From the first coherent sentence,
there have been ink-stained hands
leaving prints on select souls and few regrets
using points and keys to paint the walls with the colors of joy and anguish
Maybe I am ill,
Perhaps I am not,
But the issues many of us face
Remain unseen.
So I ask that people read along.
Look into my head,
And into what I have seen.
This is why I write my poetry.
My identity is mixed and matched
from the roles I play.
I learn something new from each and every one
About them and myself and
The perception of the world
from the stage.
I'm not just a
We met the other day,
All was fine one could say.
Let's face the truth: it was not.
We were strangers to one another,
Different from what we thought.
It was awkward,
Was it not?
Oh, the lovely corner,
a home and friend of mine.
Oh, the lovely corner,
your comfort is divine.
Oh, the lovely corner,
Read between the lines they said
Sit next to her when she’s lonely they said
Split the cash
But make sure she gets none they said
You're broken.
I see your hurt.
I wanna help, but you push away.
You tell me you wanna leave.
You said you're taking away your pain today.
But what good will that do darling?
The water puts out the fire,
love cleanses the pain.
The light glows out the dark,
the sun shines before the moon.
No matter what path you walk into,
when ever your feeling happy or sad,
I was blank.
A colorless existence with nothing more than a mere outline to hold my soul steady,
An outline child only a mother could love.
I was the grey cloud that floated behind every rainbow,
One by one
Count as they go
There they go
You are still here
Look at them leave.
Now by two by two,
Somehow you are still here.
Three by three
Next, they start to go.
You wake up one day, with your normal routine,
Get dressed, brush teeth, it’s a regular scene.
But this day isn’t just a regular day,
Something is missing, something I won’t say.
Were I trapped and far away
On a land out in the sea
The most important thing to have
Would be a book, a friend indeed
Though its sentences will never change
Words never will it speak
She's beautiful by natureRaindrops on rosesI thank her for lifefor being by my sideYesterday, today, tomorrowI feel down?She knowsMy hidden frownBroken by her hugs and smile
Friends are God’s gifts
When darkness swallows you
And you can’t get up
They light a candle
And join you in your struggle.
Friends don’t leave and wait for you to follow.
My friend, my friend
I'm glad we've met
My days are brighter
My nights are warmer
My friend, my friend
When I am in need
You are always there
To lend me a helping hand
My Life Line
The memories we make are unforgettable
Even when some mistakes are unforgivable
We stand side by side and make it better
Knowing that we always have each other
I heard a prayer today
By Father Pedro Arrupe
About love
Part of it read:
“Fall in Love, stay in love,
and it will decide everything.”
My life is a series of tasks,
Some are for me and some are for them.
Every once in a while someone asks,
"Don't you ever get tired every now and again?
Having to do these things for others
The time is fast approaching, and I am not ready.
The time is almost heare, and I feel dizzy headed,
I have been working towards this all my life, and now that it's near,
I don't want it to come.
I am not solitary.
I require the love of others, as do we all
to be happy.
I need occasional attention;
I need encouragement;
I need to be reassured, and hugged,
and appreciated.
Although to many, they are just a guy
To me, they're the reason I give my all.
They are gifts that you cannot go and buy,
But they pick you up when you trip and fall.
My Mother's Day gift was Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
They say it was the chemotherapy and radiation treatment that saved my life.
But they're wrong.
It was the meals that were brought to my shocked family
As the sun bets down on my face, i think, i strive to reach the inner machinations of my fevered mind.
They aren't both wooden, that's for sure.
You are always by my side,
Clutched tightly in my right hand.
I must only simply slide,
To reach your radiant land.
You answer every question,
If I was stranded on a island
The one thing I simply couldn't live without is
My family
God, friends, and my girlfriend are all considered my family
I can't bear the fact that people around the world are;
I see the faces of my friends
and they see mine.
At least, it looks like me,
but when they look into my eyes
they can't see the tears streaming
underneath the mask of my busy chewing,
What do I need?
What do I want?
What is a need?
Something important?
Something vital?
Something?
I need food
I need shelter
I need...
Friends?
What do I need?
What do I want?
What is a need?
Something important?
Something vital?
Something?
I need food
I need shelter
I need...
Friends?
He touched my hand and it felt like fire-
Burning, hot, sweet desire,
He meant the world.
He meant the world when he said he
If you have ever
Walked down a street,
You are sure to remember
That many people you meet.
Not faces, per se,
But people still.
"Only some will do important things," they say,
I could live all by myself,
Yet never be alone.
Two covers and a spine,
Can make a charming home.
Wallpaper of rustling pages,
Songbirds warbling in verse,
I am not afraid of dying,
but instead of living without love.
I am not afraid of falling,
but instead of watching from above.
I am not afraid of crying,
but instead of laughing on my own.
Forget the people who praise you,when you are shining and glorious.
Were I traped with no escape,
And the odds were stacked against,
My solice would come within.
A heart of gold can hold
All the warmth you need.
And the heart inside my loved ones
Four hundred twenty-six ambassadors
Kids who want to change the world, one by one
To the world we are simply amateurs
But our futures shine bright like the sun
No one perceives the impact that HOBY has
If there is one person whom I know I cannot live without
It is my best friend, Chynna,
That is without a doubt.
She was the first person who loved me
Including all of my flaws,
And how my heart did feel that day
When all alliance beat upon the crush'd
All hope of victory was deftly flush'd
By blood and for low price was I betrayed
But all in secrecy was soft relayed
She sits in the room full with her friends.
They all laugh and talk.
But why cant she seem to smile?
She tries but their all fakes.
She had plenty of reasons to be happy.
She had her friends.
Quiet and nothing around
Drove with sadness, madness
The Solidarity
Wherever this place was
Happiness was not found
Mentality filled with negativity
Run through the long corridors
Music plays in the backgroundFamiliar faces gathered aroundThe smack of the cue ballEchoes through the hallsSmiles and laughter with bad jokesSomeone spews their drink and almost chokes
My dear sweet friend I love you so
With you there was nothing to fear
We have been through hell
Even though we both wanted to yell
You keep your cool never wanting me to shed a tear
I need them.
I yearn for them.
I, at times, ache for them.
Them, being my memories.
At times, I start to think I've forgotten.
That I've lost them.
How are you my dear?
They always ask, don’t they?
Day after day the strangers inquire,
Though not a single one aspires
To actually shun
There once was a Tobear,
who had fur hair,
and brightened this one girl's days.
She loved him so much,
it was such a rush,
she wished he would never go away.
If she were to leave,
They say
That two is company, and three's a crowd
I don't quite feel the same.
No matter the amount, good friends are priceless,
Whether wild or tame.
My lifelines are my friends and family.
Oh, how we drank in the moon,
Giddy,
Because we had a car full of gas,
And music,
And an endless night in front of us,
Eternal,
(In memory of Farrah)
Every day I hear the thunder clap.
1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi, 3 Mississippi, 4 Mississippi,
I count the seconds until the lightning flashes.
I hear the pit-pat-pat on the rooftops,
I fell at the first moment of battle
But I didn’t get up until the end,
As I scavenged for food I found a foe
But we quickly became friends,
Friends are so specialNo one can replace themThe best relationship in the worldNever try to break themBecause you will get nothing but RegretThey make you laughThey make you cryThey make you stupid
All I need is the love of my God
For He will keep me safe and secure
From the hands of the arrogant
That thrive from the devil’s hand
His kindness will keep me warm
My rats are sweet
but they usually face defeat.
When people judge their faces
after previous disgraces.
They did not ask to be rats.
My rats are playful
but seen as shameful.
Shivers, up and down your back
Such a gaze makes your mind go slack
The bitter cold of catching that one's eye
Worse than an outright lie
It's just the wind
It's not like you have sinned
Oh Happy Day
Has come again
For you
Cleaning day
What's on the list of excess?
Oh!
A Worn Rug
Destroyed by your claws
This poor old Mat
What is there to say when the world's gone astray?
What's there to fight when the government leans right?
What reason to cry when all rivers run dry?
What's worth the pain once I've gone insane?
It's worth the love
If I am not beautiful,
Will you care to see
What lies far inside of me?
If my skin is not tan,
Will you care for my mind?
Speak up young student!
Are you creatively blind?
You never noticed
That you never saw him eat
In all the months you've known him.
You had no idea
Whether she shaved her legs
Because you never saw her in anything but sweats -
When you say that you are fine,
It leaves me lost to where your heart lies;
What to make of such a quandary
With diction so abstract in nature -
I am granted the privilege akin to a diety:
I'm being so selfish, I'm not the only one with problems not the only one going thru it, not the only one whose depressed, &' they tell me not to drink but somehow I still just want to do it, some people I knew died last year, and even though
I am shell, shadow,left to leave a lakeof my own tears and ask that you woulddrown in them,be brave,soon,and drown in them.Meet me on the other side.
Along
time
we
go.
To
where?
I
do
not
know.
But
swift
is
our
motion,
commotion,
and conversation
about
timeless
On that day I thought I knew
Who I was and what to do
It wasn't until she passed me by
Then I learned that was a lie
Had I known that day
How much meaning I'd put into May
when I think of happiness I think of us
stuffed inside a car, talking all at once, singing along at the top of our lungs
with the windows rolled down.
I'll always have these memories
from when times were better
no arguments...
or awkward silence
One by one
with each approaching year
I become abandoned
slowly, as time passes
It was 8th grade when I first met you.
I was alone.
Cuts on your arms and demons in my head.
Our worlds collided
And somehow, us two, who were destined to self-destruct, were saved.
Adulthood snuck up on me, deceived me
Oh, she’s a sly one
She flirted with me for a time, dangling her alluring maturity and ravishing freedom before my eyes
Many summer days don’t start off like this
You’re out from school, listening to music, and on the phone
“Double date? To the movies?” sounds like bliss
Say the words you know will burn a fire within me
Say the ones that you think will push me
Say them.
Please say them.
Becuase I promise then,
I won't feel bad walking away.
A scratch in a casket is not something you would expect.With the meaning attached, you think someone would have checkedBut with you I expected nothing else.A public flaw presented beautifully.You did just the same.Wore your flaws beautiful and pro
Warm Fire, Dark atmosphere, Cold Wind
Bright Flames. Amber Logs, Cold Wind
Flickering Blaze, Inviting Company, Cold Wind
Warm Smiles. Dark Faces, Cold Wind
I'm scared to let people in
to let them know that I have a problem
to see if they can help
depression is a taboo subject
especially in a christian home
because its not a sickness
Friends are forever
This is not so
People tend to come and go
On to better things
Always after the new fad
And when that fad doesn't include you
You become obsolete
You've served your purpose
How to be best friends with your Ex boyfriends mother.
I'm thankful because Jehovah God is the most important part of my life.I'm thankful to have two new friends, Jason Laster and Stephanie, his wife.I'm also thankful to have my other friends and my brother.
Pretty face, heart not yet stone; run the world but feel alone. Heartless friends are what I know; if they care it doesn’t show. Always giving all my heart, always loyal from the start. Change my looks change my ways anything to make them stay.
My hands are often cold,
like ice, like the Arctic.
I dont know why.
I must tuck them into my lap,
just to warm them.
But when I'm with you,
they get hotter,
like the heat of a fireplace,
Hard to hate when he’s liked:
A million reasons to keep fighting but he justs sits.
Thoughts that scream in his mind but stay mute to the one he claims he loves.
Why does he do this?
I do not eat my friends
You eat my friends
I can see their ends
Sometimes... people stab my friends
they feed my friends to their friends
I can see their ends
I remember my first day of school, backpack and all.
I remember moving across the country.
I remember seeing a new place and not knowing a soul there.
I remember meeting her, we're still friends today.
Full of laughs and jokes,
We make fun and we play.
Friends come together in 'Hellos' and "Hey!'
We poke and laugh and explore.
We play and draw and say things clever.
Friends learn, laugh, love together
He called me a hopeless romantic.
He said that I was naïve for wanting someone to love me like the sun loves the moon,
And he turned up his nose when I said that I wanted kisses like the stars because they are
I lay down in bed thinking about what could be going on through your head
Where are your thoughts
Who is in them
How are you feelings
I ask these questions repeatedly as I want to know everything about you
If you ever feel as if the walls in your house are closing in on you.
I will freely come get you, and we will drive, with no given direction.
I run at my own pace
Boys
Virgin Lips and Untouched Hips
Not even ready for first base
Flirt with me and that is enough
I run at my own pace
Friends
Slumber party at my house
6 close friends,
brought together on accident,
they've got a bond that can't be broken.
when we have no one else we've all got eachother,
the friends that turned into family.
we yell and scream and cry
I never know what's right and wrong
Why should I venture there?
Where mystery has full control
Where pain begins its stare
My parents think I’m still fucked up cuz you’re dead
My parents ask why I don’t talk to my friends about you
We are all still fucked up cuz you’re dead
We don’t talk about it
We drink about it
Cry about it
If we travel back to a time of simple tag and “you can’t catch me”
You’ll also go back to a time of when it was you and me
Of taking turns on the last swing
I told myself I'd stop caring, but it hurts even more when I pretend that I don't.
I'm angry that it got to be her, and not me.
She got the first crack, and that crack became the rift that broke your heart, I think.
I need to say I'm sorry to my friends
for lying to your faces again and again
yeah i still drink yeah i still smoke
but you still loved me regardless of this stuff that you know
't u dare blow me a kiss and call me loser.
I'm trying to be mad at u but now I'm smiling at a text.
U say, 'u can't be mad at me'
And I say, 'why's that?'
Me :noun
a. family member: 1. a loving sister who talks too much, 2. a devoted daughter who is full of questions;
Eyes made of ice,
And a heart made of stone.
Everybody hates her,
She knows she's alone.
All she wishes for,
Is a single friend who cares.
One who comforts her,
Soon I return
To that time I dread.
It's not so much the place I hate,
Rather, the people that
Don't understand a thing about me.
They cheat, they lie,
All to get where they want to go.
Sometimes I think,
we are just on the brink
of discovery.
Friends and faces
screaming names
wispered silences
broken frames.
Crying tears, and laughing faces
We met again in the dark last night,
But before I let you go I left my mark.
And for a while I'll haunt your reflection.
Every time you see it, you'll also see me.
I feel alone
Don’t wanna go home
No one answers their phone
All my friends seem pretend
This is the end
Awesome Is...
Having your very own bedroom
A paid phone bill
Smiling in the face of danger
A surprise from your sweetie
Dangling on the edge, knowing you have a friend to catch you
he hands of Time seem at rest,
but with a simple, steady beat they move
toward an eternity unknown
to the world.
When skies grow gray
And smiles fade away,
I know they will be there.
As tears stream down
Enough for me to drown,
They will give me their care
Friends create smiles
There once was a group of friends,
The rules… yeah, they would bends;
Awkward and silly,
They’d laugh wily nilly,
But that is not where this poem ends…
The first is a girl named Hannah;
To my dearest best friend,
People don't expect a guy and a girl to "just" be friends.
When it comes to us, the rule bends.
We understand eachother like a well-known riddle.
From the outside, to the middle.
Her ship is sinking, it's now 20 feet below.
It's already submerged with only one place to go.
Down in the murky depths where the light doesn't show. Her passion is gone, now stagnant, as the water ceases to flow.
Life becomes rather monochromatic
when you become very melodramatic,
because your friends aren't really estatic
to talk to the self fanatic,
and social interation becomes problematic,
This is an image of my past as you can see.
I'm not the entire focus.
I'm one of many people.
Taken years ago,
you look upon it and it appears to be taken on a regular summer day.
Isn't it strange how we can have so many friends, yet feel so alone?
Isn't it strange how someone we know can become someone we knew?
A cumbersome, catatonic existence can burn at my handsand I'll keep the torch with me, an old friend caught between young palms,ash and emotion make me stand:
She's a tomboy with blonde hair and blue eyes,
Who's quite all about the country guys.
Before her braces she used to wear glasses,
But now she wears contacts.
The scars are all over.
I think about all of the pain.
But also about how much I've gained.
Listening to hate, People getting raped.
Aiming to succeed, Passing up my problems with a gigantic lead.
What is it about yourself, a friend, or life in general that you find awesome?
My life is usually such a bore.
School doesn't interest me,
but my friends make it a mandatory chore.
What would I do without my “Mack”
An essay, or poem-probably her fave
It’s just her thing, she’s got a knack
Darkness.
That is all I used to see in this world we live in.
Darkness,
The total absence of life,
Of joy,
Of love
Of awesomeness.
Then I met someone,
I put all of my feelings about you
In jars of glass,
Transparent to everyone
But you.
I've hung out with your friends
Multiple times
And I'm certain they'll be questioning
Family and friends.
They help you through the hard times.
They make life awesome
We stand by each other
Though the distances are wide
We stand by each other
Yeah, side by side.
We stand by each other
Cause we can't hide.
We stand by each other
Carried with the tide.
Please tell me it was I who made you leave
I do not want to believe that you meant to walk away
I want to blame myself
This will not be another poem about how my heart is so broken, how lost I feel, the pathetic string of hope I'm secretly holding on to, or how I've been numbing myself just so I won't have to feel the emptiness.
At the edge of my bed,
A close friend creeps,
His gibbers and gabbers fill my head,
The way he speaks is quite bleak,
I'd not mind it if he wasn't two years dead.
So what's a family? Is the representation of it exaggerated on T.v.? I thought family was supposed have each other backs, but then why do I not feel your hands up against my back?
One noon, my friends pranked you,
Pretending like they always do.
They texted that I want us to meet,
Even if I don't want to greet.
I want you in my life
Read between the lines
Behind this words I hide
The truth I keep inside
Mother
Says she cares
That she'd have stopped it
"If I would have just told her when it was happening"
(I was five)
But then says
the first time in my life i ever smelled a stick of incense was at my friend lindseyswe were in the fifth grade and she was my very very very best friendshe watched all the cools eighties movies
A love day filled with joy and laughter.
Went to the cinema after.
A breeze of beauty passed me by.
Acknowledgement and denial,
My normal self but still a cosmic pawn.
Choices are given, options limited.
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"
Beauty however sees only its flaws
Beauty doesn't know they're beautiful flaws
Beauty is a rose
Eyes torn, eyes bright; reaching
Hands clasped, outstretched; speaking. They tell my story, they lived my days: of teary-eyed nights but persistent days,
spent studying, searching, for the ones who helped me see,
They say, "keep your friends close
But your enemies closer."
I ask, then, how do you know?
Who is your friend
And who is your foe?
One moment it's sunshine
And happiness and laughter.
Free
From everything I used to be
Re-writing my history
Picture by picture I’m finding me
I’m alright
My hair plain brown, my face aged with time
When I look at you I don’t just see some sad, lost girl,
I see someone beautiful, who makes my world melt when she smiles,
I see someone whose laugh just makes me want to laugh right along with you.
Dangling of a cliff,
Fifty feet in the air
Holding on to your rope-
You can’t make me let go
Who am I behind the camera lens?
I constantly take pictures with my friends.
Everyone that looks at my Instagram
thinks I'm going ham.
Ever have the feeling of being all alone?
Like you have to hash out your problems all by yourself?
Well, I feel you.
These past few months, I've been feeling like no one has my back anymore.
I am a girl, that's how I was born.
I am an athlete, a girl ATHLETE that is me.
I work hard everyday training and studying starting in the morn.
We cannot become what we want to be
remaing who we are today
We wonder why as girls we bring down other girls
because we all know how hard being a girl is
Expensive makeup is everywhere
I once knew a kidHe was joyous, excited, and niceHe was not at all timidPositive emotions, he could entice
Hey again.
It's just me.
I got nothing to say
No games to play
No place to lay
It's only me.
Im here by myself.
As a kid I danced on the livingroom carpet. The beat filled me inside and made me feel alive. The frenzy growing and hungry and ready to explode in a rhythmic symphony of movement.
I am a person, a true human with flaws and weaknesses.
There are times when I fall to pieces.
But I get up. I move on.
There are bigger issues going on.
She doesnt know she poor, Even when life tells her in many ways Her refrigerator becomes empty. Whenever she is hungry she can't even find a whole meal. Her family barley has enough food to last them until they can get more.
i love when no love is given back
i speak truth and everyone tells me its wack
i dont understand
how are we supposed to be family when you dont understand me
its always 3on1 because i believe in what i stand for
As I stare outside the window today,
I see little children with a ball they play
Happily on the street together today.
As I stare outside the window,
I remember our time back then,
Where are we now?
I hear the lies that seep through your lips
I prepare my ears for your false words
I prepare my feelings for your pitiful efforts to spare them
Do you lie to hide your mistakes?
Thoughts of nothing
In times of despair
I see you strutting
Like you don't see me here
I wished to fly like a choir on high
To live like a new being awoken
To be sheet thin and soar the sky
<3
You could see it in their eyes.
They weren't quite friends anymore.
The way she smiled for him,
friends don't smile like that.
The way he puts his hands on her back,
I was made like this;
created by a higher power, who took much of her or his time
to make sure she or he got all of this right.
You're the mac to my cheese, the bread to my butter
You're the seaweed to my sushi, there'll never be another
We're the burger with fixings, ice cream with all the toppins
I am from a small house with many people,
The sound of birds and smell of food.
Toys all around and bikes scattered on the ground.
Sitting at a full table and dreaming of a new life.
Cold plastic is what I see
It’s all you will ever be
Whispers and actions
Divides our “family” into factions
Rumors and back-stabbing
Anger from her blabbing
“Second family” yeah right
A tear, a whisper
A shout, a cry
No one seems to hear
No one is by your side.
Everyone is oblivious until it's too late,
Another angel has been sent back too soon.
We're together,
Till the end.
We giggle and laugh,
We are friends.
There starts to be jokes,
We can no longer take.
Our unbreakable bond,
starts to break.
We no longer look,
I’m not one who has an alter ego,a lie people create when they’re feeling shallow,an ideal to covet and try to uphold,when in reality they are much less bold.
Universal infinite, as strung upon the stars
Collapsing voids, swirling masses of rock and gas, slowly losing solid grasp
Drifting into worlds where the unknown dominates a presence of oxygen
I am a visionary and I envisioned a future with you.
An infinite one.
A happy one.
A lovely one.
You created a vision I have never seen before, not even in my dreams.
A: School is for fool!
Let's go to the pool!
Kick the stool,
And grab the tools!
We can make our rules,
And make the girls drools.
Do you want to be cool?
Sitting under the Christmas tree,
Watching reindeer grazing in shade,
Red fruit and green leaves glowing from far,
Waiting for Santa clause,
Come and fetch give to kids,
I am the boy named Koid
The boy who loves the world around him
the tv he watches,
the video games he plays,
the family he loves,
the boy goes online a lot, he finds a whole universe.
No rhythm
No rhyme
Just me
And myself
Dark hands
Bright face
WIth a dim glow in the eyes
Worn out
By the challenge
Of living each day with a smile
Inside
Everything you feel, it's all in your mind
Overwelming thoughts leads one to be blind
The danger is real, but fear is a choice
Save yourself from all of that noise
we fall in love in those in-between moments, like when the sun is buried right at the brink of that fine line and if you want to know the truth,the boy i sit next to in physics drew the horizon.
So some of my friends recently asked me, want to go swimming today?
And I gave them a foul, foul look, and stated without delay
No.
I clearly don’t want to swim in the pool so you can go play
Gems and Dimonds
and most of the lot
are smeared and bruised
by life's dirty plots
so thus we gems
so thus we diamonds
work from dust
to bring new light
we are not perfect
My name is Isobel and I know its quite simple at best but I must confess it suites me well.
You don't have long to live
So why end it now
Stress can go so far but
obtaining the power of decision
can save your lives
I wake up to a sea of white.
Is this what society is preparing me for?
Being marginalized as "that black girl".
I expected more.
Perhaps my standards were too high,
Flawless doesn't mean perfect,
We let celebrities and athletes define it for us.
Flawless means that you have accepted your flaws,
You've learned to love them and use them to inspire others.
Beauty is skin deep
For some that may be true
For others its not how they look
Stop! Don't think,Just breathe,It's over,He's gone,He can't see you cry, Deep BreathStop: the tears,The lies,The pain,The regret,The blame, Deep Breath
Im sometimes wrong, but I'm always right
sometimes I win, when I refuse to fight
Im not perfect , but who is?
I'm gonna change the world with my words of encouragement
see, look at me.
short bubbly and kind
Expressing how I feel
sometimes confuse me a great deal
Can I understand myself?
Or better yet can you?
I dont always say what I feel
But when I do I keep it real
Anywhere any place
I may be short, but oh, do these legs make me stand tall.
These legs, yes, MY legs give me the strength to do as I choose.
And how I appreciate these wonderful creations God has given me
A knife through your heart, they tell you how you feel.
A smile on your face, they tell you what to say.
One more dish on the counter, you better do what you’re told.
One more load in the washer, you better get a job.
A knife through your heart, they tell you how you feel.
A smile on your face, they tell you what to say.
One more dish on the counter, you better do what you’re told.
One more load in the washer, you better get a job.
Why follow a crowd?
Never have fit in with a pack.
I've always taken the " small leap of faith" so they say.
Natural hair? Psh I've dyed my hair so many colors natural isn't even an option anymore!
Get speed dressed, eat quickly, rush to school. . .
Get good grades, get compliments, feel awkward. . .
Get sister, get home, get sleep. . .
Wake up and do it all over again.
Girls.
Overpriced makeup. It
Differentiates those who want to be from those who... Are?
Yes I am flawless, from the color of my skin to the brown glow in my eyes. I am a soaring bird, who always flies. Obstacles stand hand to hand waiting for a perfection to come on their land.
Reasons why I am flawless:
I am not. I have a dead rose garden buried in my body and a barbed wire fence around my heart.
French vanilla is what they see of me
and has always viewed me as
lack of sun is what they may say
but African American is me all the way
the background of my family is what I would
Behind the hazel, she's just a lonely little one. Behind the hazel, she wants to the world to be gone. Behind the hazel, she's fighting everyday. Behind the hazel, she's scared in every way. Behind the hazel, she's slightly shattered.
Your feet are too big
Your feet are too small
Your legs are too thick
Your legs are too thin
Your butt is big
Your butt is small
Be who I am
Your tummy is so flat
You (Flawless)
She wakes up and starts her day
Gets in the car and goes to school
Everyone she walks by, she says, “Hey”
It's true no one is perfect.
But everyone can become Flawless.
I'm flawless in my own way.
I am Fanatical.
I am Loyal.
I am Accepting.
I am Whimsical.
I am Lovable.
I am Enthusiastic.
Living is wanting more,always more;
Wishing, not for appetite,but for illusion.
Oh illusion, this is the signal of life;
Love,that is life.
Loving till you can give yourself for what you love.
To those who look
nothing seems extraordinary
a standard face, two eyes
a nose, high cheek-bones
they look at her with big bright eyes
little do they know she rages inside
they look at her like she's an angel sent from above
little do they know she's far from being jesus white dove
Flawed; simply those who stand with imperfections, and have mental or physical blemishes.
I believe you are what you think you are...
Self-fulfilling prophecy
I wake up in the morning and look in the mirror,
To see who I am and wonder if I need to change.
The media shows us that we are inferior,
That without being slim and muscular we are strange.
i do not want to be the girl that makes you forgetyour nights filled with loathing and apathyor that pushes the thoughtof suicide from your cluttered closet of a mindi want to be the girl that makes you remember
It’s 6 AM, but I’ve been awake since 4.
For the past four days, a nagging feeling of nostalgia, regret, and longing has crept intro the crevice of my heart reserved for sentimentality.
Verse 1:
Why do I fall when I stand
why do I sink when I swim
and why when I try these things never go as planned
when I'm around you everything I try to do seems to fail
I want to be strong.
I want to be pretty.
I want to be heard.
Someone will always have what we want,
but cherishing what we have is the best thing to own.
I always thought,
and thought.
A beautiful face is that all you see , desighner on her back , matched with the gucci shoes and using common phrases such as ...."I sip my tea ".
My portfolio
Is my best friend.
My portfolio
Is my worst enemy.
My portfolio
Will help me pass Financial Lit. class.
He is the world to me,
Yet he is so much more to me
No one could imagine such a lovely face
He's just so beautiful in so many ways
"There's nobody like you girl"
I'm just so glad that he came into my world
When in life,
In times of strife,
One must be a leader.
Whether it sounds its command in a roar or a squeak,
Whether it executes with the hand of the strong or the mind of the weak,
She rides the bus every day to school,
and people tell her she is uncool.
Every day she eats lunch with the teacher,
“Free me”, she screams in his face.“No more.No more a moore.I am a river.I flow.I live and give
Delicate as a flower,
precious as gold.
Pure in heart,
blossoming white as snow.
A mother's first born is a flawless love.
To have and to hold,
to fly away like a dove.
Family by fate,
Nostalgia hit me like a wave of nausea
And it ain't goin' away
So I thought I'd call just to remind ya
Of the good old days
Don't you miss 'em, oh I really miss 'em
I really miss you, too
I've always told myslef to be strong
But what do I do on those days
when the tears total to a tsunami;
overflowing and chaotic, unable to control
People will hate on other people
They will put them down and make them feel like nothing
Just because they don't look a certain way or dress a certain way
I hate these ballet shoes
Everyday marks another bruise
And as I dance with the pain, my brain is in flames, going insane
Working double time over what should be considered a war-crime
When the sky is clear and the sun is out
Your eyes are bright and bluer than blue.
And when the sky is dark and grey
So are your eyes
And so is your mood
And that's just how it is with you.
Circumstances may neglect you
No matter how people
Bring you down to feeble
And let your self-esteem low and blue
Only fools burn bridges
Of one’s failures and foes
Behind the curtain
What I keep hidden
From your eyes and mind
Is strictly forbidden
Under the mask
What a clever disguise
Depressed-depressed and purged from joy
I stand in the absence of men.
Fears of course are not lacking
And regrets I continue stacking.
Yet how generous is your hatred’s provider
There is a girl.
A girl with beautiful eyes
And a stunning personality
The room lights up
I roll with my crew and I talk with my family/ life's too short to let relationships damage/ so I write this to you feeling fragile ceramic/ cuz back when you had moved I couldn't
I feel your presence, when the grass shakes a shiver
That’s when everyone hides and everyone covers
You paint sinister lines over clouds of silver
My sore feet walk over the cobblestone and all
I can see my dream ahead as I take one step at a time.
London's bridge came falling down.
While others drowned, over the edge I climbed.
We let life pull us down by our ankles into the shadowy depths of uncertainty
While we pull ourselves up by our bootstraps
Trying to stay afloat
Trying to get better
The raft to which we cling is broken
falling through, walking around
time on my hands
the long days and night ' im still confused on my daily days
make it worth while, sleeping peacefully im wasting my time
time on my hands
What is a friend?
If you are unsure, I can tell you more?
Friends are not selfish
This I can say for certain
My Friends are not the normal type
They are loud, proud, black and bright
There we were, on the last day
I knew leaving them was my only crime
But I told them, “Until next time!”
Even so, the fact remained: I was going away
The memories rush back to me
Imagine finding that friend who can create a song from your thoughts
and make you shed a tear in shear amazement,
To be grateful that someone like that understands your existence
What uplifts me?
Such a simple question
But difficult to answer
What does it mean?
"What inspires me?
I am lusting after the red melon green lights
making amber on your skin
Time keeps moving forward
Nothing's slowing it down.
Friends will disappear from every corner
Even the ones who promised to stick around
If only my time with them was as long as the classes
Your eyes used to be so bright
They looked straight forward
Unnerving but more alive than all those around you,
They used to look so colorful and awake
What changed you?
Was it the people?
Where were you,
When I needed you most?
Did you run when you heard my cry?
Did you look me in the eye and tell me it'll be alright?
Did you hold my hand when I couldn't take it anymore?
I want to scream,
I want to shout,
So turn up the music,
Let’s jam it out!
Let’s go to the concert!
Let’s sing all the words!
Let’s show all of the people
We are the nerds!
Someone may ask
What uplifts you
You may say something obvious
Summer, friends, food, family, your significant other
But rarely will a person ever answer, life
Red, Blue, Green and PinkV- necks, halters, tanks and spagetti strapsBootcuts, skinnies, jeggings, and skirtsFabrics and different shades one after another,
It seems so easy to say that you are happy
To smile and be filled with glee
But me, I wonder how we can make it last forever.
That is a mystery.
My mind it thinks the keys to life
There are too many things in this world that uplift me.
So many things that make me happy.
If I had to truly choose one.
I would think to myself it simply can't be done.
Come on down to Red Heads Resort
Drink the incredible wine. Hear the rumblings of music
All at Red Head’s Resort
There you can find
Many people from the world
Full of culture and stories
The ones who uplift me
Those are the ones I truly care for
The ones who make me feel better about myself
Those are the ones I truly care for
The ones who write sincere words to me
I stand alone
amoungst my friends
we have our differences
I belive in one God
they belive in society
we have our differences
they all hate
they mock
they laugh
EMBRACE LIFE
Everything Happens for a reason
You can go through bad things or Good things
If you go through bad things
Just Embrace it
If you go through Good things
Though your pain, can last a while
Sometimes, you just fake a smile.
Doing things you shouldn’t,
And you originally wouldn’t.
When I was four I loved my brother and he broke his arm
he screamed and fell and I didn't know what to do
so I gave him marshmallows
When I was seven I loved a doll and I cut its hair
I dream of a place
One distant, yet close
I dream of a face
With blue eyes and a sweet nose.
I dream of friends,
Friends I met long ago.
I dream this chapter ends
And I find a new home.
Her smile is the beauty of nature at its best, when leaves are ripe and the trees are at rest. Grin perl white and shines with glee, like a deep night sky it's a must on what you see. Waves with ponder that's brown
Oh, If they only knew....
It's never who they think it is
Those who would suspect
that you long for someone
My home is a feeling, not a place
The feeling I get when I see the face
of my dear and trusted family
The one's with no blood shared
yet bonds we see.
O how I yean and yearn for ye
On tuesdays,
We went to the movies.
And I wouldn't trade a dime,
To have worked those nights,
Instead of eating popcorn.
In June,
We went to the beach.
And the heat of the sand,
We all have our preferences
You and I, he and she
From our individual tastes
In food, friends, music, coffee
Friends may say or speak
In ways that influence us
Though, the result be bleak
I am empty. No feelings, no thoughts, no memories. There is nothing there, because everything that which was, seems to have escaped me.
Playing rugby is a blast,
I'm sure our team will never be last.
I'm so proud to be member,
Of a team I'm sure to remember.
Playing on the team lifts me up,
Especially since we're sure to win a trophy cup.
They were a loving family says the photos covering every inch of the wall,
a small dog sleeps down in the living room while a growing boy slept upstairs,
What do I leave for myself when the world has rung me dry.
What have you left me with when you've picked me clean.
Call me a broken down shelf, a tired little thing.
A thoughtless grove is what i strole upon exsuse me if my words are'nt making any sence im just to far gone, im tryna think of the right things to sa
You used to see the real me.
You used to know how it felt to be considered different.
You claim you haven’t changed, but I know you have.
You tried to convert me too, but I refused.
You always say “fake it ‘till you make it”
i wish i didn’t have to fake it
i work every day to please others
Tea on a Sunday
evening
Two young girls
hide behind their words
their illustrations
small talk eludes
dark realities
too afraid to address
the monster
in the closet
Just a young black male in this world of sin
Man versus man
I'm fighting from within
Got to stay strong, can't break nor bend
My whole life changed when my brother got locked up in the pen
I Am Not Who I Am.
By: Reid Davis
The day is full of masked faces and fake smiles
Being decepted for miles and miles
But when the light dissapears
And we're safe in our beds
Fuck this shit I'm winningExcuse me Pardon my beginning So ecstatic About the erratic Accomplishments god has given And the time and will I have put in while living
My head, thickset with smoke, emotion's run,
Arid hills ring augmented, fragile child
Twists, and vanishes to midnight blue sun,
Perception, understanding beguiled.
Everyday I get to spend time with friends, family, or my love makes me happy because I enjoy the time i get because i never know when will be my last day. The day I g

Get up now don't let the door hit you. Ay pick your head up and start living.
Life doesn't wait for you. Not now, not ever. So get moving, it's jiggy time.
Friends forever, friends for now
Friends will always let you down.
If they love you, they will vow
To never try and make you frown.
It may happen no matter how,
But friends will always let you down.
You made me believe it was possible to trust another human being.
Of course the only reason why I've become so cynical of trust,
is simply because i've been broken by constant sorrow,
People walk into your life
And then vanish instantly
But they don’t see the price
Which happens consistently
They touch someone in a way
And become part of them
But then they just walk away
I must be a ghost.
Oh, how they walk through me.
It's like I'm invisible,
And no one hears my screams.
It's a lifetime story,
But I hate those shows.
There's things in the world,
I guess I was wrong about you,
I'm sorry I wasted your time.
Kill my hope, my heart, my dreams, my soul, and mind.
It's time for you to destroy me,
What's left of me anyways.
How is this fair?
I offer nothing, yet they give me their swords.
I speak with harsh truths, yet they thank me for my kindness.
I stand humbled by their greatness, and yet they look to me.
I have a past, we all do
Some of it is lies, other things are true
My grandma said I lied about rape
My aunt said I was fake
My church said I was a mistake
My friends said they needed a break
Brave, loyal friends having one another's backs
A loving sensei* always encouraging him
Blistered ego, aching self,scared girl in lion's mane.Teeth bared, upturnedto keep sanity. I don't wantto inconvenience, I
There are those who cherish their family.
There are those who cherish their friends.
But for some, like me, they are one.
My friends are my sky full of stars.
I got your back all the time,without a doubt you got mine,to you hurt,to see you cry,makes me wanna weep and wanna die,and if you agree to never fight,you know you'll have a friend for life,it wouldn't matter who's wrong or right,cause i wouldn't
A gleaming demeanor hid a dark interior.
No one dared to question my painted smile or the pain in my eyes.
No one asked, so I didn't tell.
Falsified statements." I am fine." "I am happy." I am not dying inside.
What is a friend
That says one thing and does another
Who apologizes with sincerity
For something they don't remember
What is a lover
That takes your heart and doesn't love back
I used to care too much, now I do not care at all,
I have been up with my "friends", but they all watched me fall.
My trust was so giving, I thought I was content,
I take care of 7 kids
but I don't have a child of my own.
At age 18, I am a mother.
I supply a heart and a home.
I never thought I'd hate something as much as you
You take away the good people from the world
You make them want you more then anything or anyone else
Those with hard enough lives you make worse
Sunset settles on the east
As the sky darkens
Stars twinkle
While tine slows downs
Owls awaken
Yet, birds fly south
Heart beats
And I stay still
waiting
waiting
waiting
They’re telling me it’s beautiful. I believe them, but will I ever know the world behind my wall?
She looks in the mirror and paints her face because a painted smile is easier than a plastic one and makeup is cheaper than a surgeon. She’s beautiful and she’s the only one who doesn’t know it. She’s lost in the dark. Running. Searching.
I was lost. I was so lost. I was lost in the dark and very far away from home. But I was lost with you. You and your lips and your blonde and your red and your heelies and your tattoos and your music and your books. We were so lost.
Raise our bottles to the purple nightWe'll bend these floorboards weighed down with our voices.Shout the doors wide openfling the windows up erupt into the
Past closed up pizza jointsPast laundromats, through the dying noisethe nights tick on like clockworkwatch the calendar as my steps unwind
You cannot see the beguiling manner of those people
You, an amiable person
Them, a people of many faces
You run past the boisterous crowds
Only aiming to please
Behind the false perfection,
Pampered kisses, the urgency to feel the lay out of their skin
Drunk to begin, sober at the end
When I speak of love I aim my voiceto my parents who brought me hereand taught me how to deal with the cruelties of the world,my freshman year english teacher who cared even after I left
I sing of manipulation of old friends, for the replacment of new acquaintances. When you're taken for granted, when you're friendship has become a chore, a burden even.
The sun sheds a tear for the moon,
and the moon for the sun.
For only a glimpse of the others is caught
before each must run.
The first thing I ever learned from her is that when she says she doesn't care, she's really lying through her teeth.
They tap tap tap on my windows, my door
"Come out, join us"
Just the girls, like the old days
Back-stabbing petulant little beings
long legged, jealous, pain driven monsters
Forever trusting no one,
and maybe you were right.
They came around to change that.
The cause of every fight.
Fighting in waves crashing on the shore.
The ones we pace across endlessly.
My 87 grandmother has been through a lot.
She’s had five different cancers,
Multiple tumors, intestine troubles, and a stroke.
She lost all control of her body, time after time.
But she never gave up.
My friends don't want me
Life is getting hard
I'm feeling so lost
And it's tearing me apart
There is no one to turn to
Nobody cares
It's making me retreat
Stitch-1 she should have thought before she did!
Stitch-10 she should have thought before she said what she did!
Stitch-20 she should have thought before she turned them all!
I know why you do it.
I know that the numbness
and dull moans inside your skull
is near
all consuming.
Some days pain is the only
voice that is shrill enough
to break through
Listen carefully as the sand stirs still
in a barren land of thoughts and dreams.
How quietly the wind does sing;
how distant beingness seems.
And there, but one, stand you alone,
When I told her I didn't want to be friends anymore-That I was done with it (and her)-She cried.She begged.She asked why.And I tried to explain…But my founded reasoning fell onto deaf,
Not all scars show, and not all wounds heal
Sometimes you can't see the pain that others feel
Not all lies are false and not all truths are real
Sometimes lies are necessary to help you deal
Like a dancer,
She skips, twirls, leaps
A ribbon of happiness
Trailing from her toes
As they brush the pavement
Stream of consciousness.
A fill of void and mess.
Generalizing my distress
in a field in which I won't digress.
Yes,
we are all in this world together.
She's got rock star style with that beauty queen flare.
She has my full attention with just the flip of her hair.
She's got a lot of class, I can't even deny.
I’m afraid of myself
I’m afraid that I will never succeed
I’m afraid that my parents will be disappointed in my decisions
I’m afraid that the world will not accept me for who I am
Listen!
Can you hear me?
I am screaming for help
I am welling up
With the pain inside,
With the thoughts that haunt me
Listen!
Can you hear me?
I am holding your hand
Look above me and you will find
An unfinished song forgotten over time
The notes are perfect in my heart they will collide
I know your fears,
And sense you tears,
I know your dreams,
And sense your smile gleam.
Although you share with me
What others will not see,
I am silenced by your brushing hand,
I know your fears,
I sense your tears,
I know your dreams,
And sense your smile gleam.
Although you share with me
What others will not see,
I am silenced by your brushing hand,
I'm falling out of an airplane.
Not a parachute to spare.
I'm calm though
Because I'm unaware.
Unaware that I'm falling? No
I'm probably unaware that I'm in any danger.
Friends
meaning of friend
has it changed over time
has it lost its value
look at your friends
are they what you would call a friend
the old english meaning is to love
I'm only there for your sorrowThings different when you happy and I have to swallow .... My emotionsThe devotion I give to youHow can I tell if you're trueDamn I know you got a booBut.....What about me?
I write this to my father
I hope I make you proud
Across the widest canyons
Can you hear me now?
Hannah was late coming home this evening.
Traffic was slow and she had trouble leaving.
Work was hard and she hadn't any time
When I was a young child
I was abused.
I won't say which way,
how or even why I think it happened to me,
but it did.
My mother would tell me how
beautiful she was and how
The ocean waves touch my feet
As I walk along the lonely beach
Hands in my pocket, my head held high
Tears streaming down my face
You tell me to
state my mind
when I am quiet.
You force me to
share my thoughts
on the daily things.
But when it comes time
to voice what I believe
what are friends
are they lovable or are
they like a sneaky vampire
in the night and gonna bite you
when you are not lookin? well i say it depends on
the person you become friends with
There are lions in jungles that roar with pride.
There are snakes in the grass, they're sly, they hide.
There are sheep led by pastors, so fluffy and round.
The wolves are just hungry, they wander around.
Last year held challenges,
Some that terrified me, some that didn’t.
All were conquerable
With the right mindset.
I made my plans, I planted my heart
Firmly, steadfastly into them.
Through the trees shone
A burnt orange light
The sun sinking low
As the moon took its post.
Friends huddled around
A fading orange glow
The last of the coals
As the cold held us close.
I remember a time
Seems like yesterday
When things were different,
Less complicated.
Barbie dolls strew across a yellow quilt
Fairytales played to life in the backyard
Picnic lunches
ignoring all communication.
i am so tired of hearing the woe is me bullshit.
it is my fucking heart, that has decided not to work.
my lungs don't want to be lungs anymore
when i tell you my heart is breaking and my wrists are shattering under the fists of a mental illness.
just.
listen.
“i pressed my face to the space between your neck and kissed you softly with chapped lips. (you were laughing and texting and trying to take my mind out of the dark)
i dragged my fingernails lightly across your tattooed arm.
We all have those days.
Those days we feel like nothing.
We just want to sleep forever.
Maybe you haven’t felt that yet.
I have.
You just stare at the wall.
You think about everything.
You may have lost yourself,
But not me.
I'll always have you in my memories.
But now, you have family and friends there for you.
Even though they'll get mad at you from time to time,
But don't care.
What was it like to be 17?
It was never feeling good enough.
It was laughing for hours until my sides hurt
It was being terrified about my future
A good friend of mine once told me
"Close friends? You don't have them.
They're all over there, away from you,
Because you, yourself, are making a schism."
This struck me as odd, and I stopped.
TO FISH OR NOT TO FISH?
That is the question…
Every redneck as himself on Saturday morning when its not,
I repeat;
Because this is important.
It cannot be hunting season.
That will trump everything.
"Here you go"
They said.
"Here is your little bundle of joy"
Like all, I had paused and reflected on my past.
At that moment, I didn't mean to drown in drunken thoughts.
I couldnt help it.
Not many know me
Nor do they know my past
Naive describes those who know only my top layer
But when one comes truely
When one comes with respect
They will come to love me as I will to them
Just like the stars, we'll dissolve into a thousand ashes
Pieces staying behind for all eternity
Just like the stars, we hold the light
The light for which only shines to seem like a mere second
That light is ours
The heart beats like a thousand drums
When in the face of inquiry to another
A yearning soul heard over melodious hums
I saw the way you looked at me, with need in your eyes
Desperate for me to come towards you, and to feel your flesh against mine
Every day that's what I've done, and what I had plan to do
I have a guard
Obedient and spry.
Whether I want him or not,
Is stuck at my side.
Alert and on point,
Eyes peeled to the brow.
The wind is against me,
And he defends anyhow.
When my seventh grade self,
Riled up over the excitement of having a girlfriend,
Came out to my mom I said,
Chance and chance again,
I call upon a question where I knew a friend,
Before the trials and tribulations began,
We had no end,
You were there through thick and thin,
High and low,
This girl, she lives a normal life everyday, she wakes up, gets ready and goes to school. She is physically there but not mentally or emotionally.
Time time
What happened to the
Time time
What happened to it
Do you remember the time back in '98
We were young and naive but it was okay
All our friends had our class and the same school
Happy Anniversary 10 YRS TODAY FACEBOOK 4.2.2004----------- 4.2.2014
If my life was a story,
I suppose,
every thought I think,
every word I say,
every action I do,
would be written down
for generations to see
the lies you give me.
When I first met you, I was cliched
With tropes and trie beliefs
Which were only platitudes
Of the firends who gave me grief
About being happy.
But with you I feel free unlike the
Whenever I drive by the the third stop sign on my way home,
I think of the fear that lived in my fingers
As I flicked my cigarette bud out the window,
wondering if my mom would recognize it was mine
Giving the world a better place to live,
Imagining the people living in peace,
Viewing the world through each other's eyes,
Enemies no longer exist have hate to give.
My mind rolls back to that day.
Down in the south,
Where the air was warm
And when a breeze came,
It was like heaven on earth.
My thoughts echo words,
the first time i met youi didnt knowhow marks cascade down your arms in a pink-white array of battle scars
the first time i met youi didnt knowhow tears fall from your eyes before you finally sucumb to sleep
Huddle with me oh lost broken soul.Huddle with your broken brethren.Warm yourself with what I haveand take from me what it is that you need.I will give all that I can.
Why are you lonely?You are beautiful and niceI will be your friendI am here for youWhen you feel like gray clouds andWhen you need sunshine
A hello here,
A handshake there,
A hug here,
A greeting all around
I float amongst my piers,
Socializing from clique to clique to satisfy
But I am never truly satisfied
If you have love in your life,
Then sir you have achieved what most men cannot.
More than, any sailor dares to conceive in his
Rash and unreasonable mind. But ay
We are just men.
Strangers, begining to speak to one another
Acquaintances, talking regularly
Buddies, begining to hang out together
Friends, telling each other secrets
Best Friends, doing everything together
Tick, tick tockthe bell rings, startling meStep, step, tapmy shoes moving swiftly through the hallwaysNotebooks, pencils, paperOn every students desk
I slowly reveal myself-
The thick molasses starts to thin-
I look to them-
I expect Judgment.
They just look at me with listening eyes-
And that's when I know.
I am Free.
Feburary 27, 2012 a Facebook message notification
It read "HBD". She didn't know who it was so she just replied with a thank you and went away.
Little did she know that was her first encounter with her first love.
Do you remember
The first day we met?
Complete strangers, but you always smiled at me.
Do you remember
How close we became on the first week?
You always told me jokes and made me laugh.
I am on the edge
holding to my...
breath.
My movements are slow...
scattered...broken, smashed
pain throbs---
My mind is thumping...
blood, bled through me.
My body is hurt.
Waking up to the same ringing,
Going to the same place,
Five days a week,
Ten months, learning and forgetting.
Distractions and butterlies,
Taking chances, locking eyes,
What gets me inspired? Damn, I don't really know
guess this prompt has been really eye-opening though.
I'm just sitting here with some writer's block,
if I can make this poem creative I'll be in shock.
Two people need to grow to be in a healthy relationship
I've grown up with you all my life
The New Girl
In class she sits, making snide remarks,
Her words bitter and pungent;
This façade she maintains, meant to keep us at bay,
To hide in its shadow her sorrows, her pains.
Saying goodbye is never easyIt always comes sooner than we intendThey make our insides uneasyBecause we don't know when the missing will stop and decend
Here I sit on this white chair,
Watching my friends just be themselves;
Wondering when I'll see them again;
Aching when seperated,That, by each other abated;Love and laughter flowing;Together, always growing:Friends.
They stare as she walks in the room She trembles, afraid, wondering, Will they hate? Will they judge? Do they care? Why the stares?
We’re losing light by seconds and sounds
With it dimming are the stars, the sunlight, the fluorescent street lamps lining the streets
With each blast of darkness
A part of me passes
In those quiet moments
when you are left alone,
your mind ever wandering,
in the barren cold.
If I died today
My spirit would pass away.
My bones would turn to dust
Before tomorrow turns to dusk
The moon would still light the night sky
My corpse unnoticed by passersby
My Door
My door keeps people in or out when I
Want to be alone. I do not understand
Why others do not comprehend this fact.
My door represents privacy at home –
These are the ones who are present when no ones else can be
The ones you trust outside of family
Some days there are people and moments that you just really miss. My indententation for my poems don't work so you'll just have to read it in paragraph style. What is it that you really miss?
Brokenness is crumbling, cracked blue
It sounds like pottery carelessly shattered on tiled floors.
It smells like a dry, humid summer day.
I can't begin to understand
Your depression,
Isolation.
But I can understand
How life leaves you raw,
Unable to feel,
Numb.
You want nothing more than to feel
Something,
Anything,
A friend can feel all your pain
Unlike seasons, friends never change
A friend is with you thick and thin
A friend will stand by you until the end
There is nothing more beautiful in this world than love.But I do not believe in fantasy.Though I wish it more than anything to be true,I cannot honestly say that this is the answer.
Descriptive Poem.
When I gazed at her beautiful eyes
It was as if the things around me stopped. Goodbye.
The way she laughed, unique in awe
From this distance,
The outline of her is only visible.
Time has made a small impact,
But her coldness has caused the gap
I call her name,
Only to see her respond to another.
Even though we change,
And we're finding our place in the world.
We all know that when tears fall,
Best friends understand when you say forget it,
Wait forever when you say just a minute,
Stay by your side when you say leave me alone,
7th grade, in the middle of middle school, friends come and go, thought i wouldn't be able to make it, thought about hurting myself, Mybe being out of the picture would have been better, 7th grade, a year when my ride cam crashing down on me, nobo
I see the bruises on your arm
I see the townsfolk has caused you harm
I see those chains bound to your ankles and wrists
This windowless dungeon I wonder who could think of this?
Hey,
because many people may not know,
how much one hey
could really do to a person.
So say hey,
because you may never know
how much one hey
could really do to a person.
I thought we could be friends
But I was foolish
You betrayed me and shed no tears
You betrayed me
And shed no tears
Talk behind my back
Please make my day
I know your game
Walking the halls
Is harder than you think
Losing friends
Can happen in a blink
Having stress
And feeling depressed
Are all the things
I'm trying to express
Trust is like a currency or a golden ticket.
Giving it to that special someone,
So they will stay and be your friend.
Trust is something will live for and strive from.
Be my friend. Help me to my feet when life knocks me down. Hold me when the world makes me cry. Laugh at me when i trip over air. Be my friend. Be the one person that makes a difference in my life. Be the shoulder that I can cry on.
When I first met you
I was determined to be your friend
Everyday I'd come over
Just to see you again.
I'd do the sneakiest shit
To see if you would smile
It's the most fun I've had
We will never be just friends.
We will never be just friends because I’m in love with you...like how my vessel of life loves the intake of gracious breeze embracing my body.
Cold like an icicle, melting stories from your brainYou don't know where to go, it's hard and you feel so much pain.
Standing still was not an option
You wanted to keep climbing, so we kept climbing.
You knew that I had your back
And we were in love so we both knew that.
But why didn’t you call?
Always attentive and never doubtful of meThey stand loyal by my sideBehind me to protect from unseen foesIn front of me to shield me from unwanted dangerMy friends, my sisters
A love I once honed
Is now a memory long forgotten;
With how quick I lost it,
Or even rid of it-
Was it lust instead?
Cradled in my plams
Had been a lingering hope
That the past would reverse
Together closer than ever before
Finally someone I can tell hidden things to
Someone who could finally understand what I was feeling after so long
After getting hurt so many times over and over again
With freinds like this who needs enemies?
Big, Huge smiles and grins,
But Ignorant to the feeling that lied deep within,
Not knowing that it was all just pretend,
Jealousy, Lies, Envy, Deceit,
Summer stars and fireworks
And watermelon rinds
It was on those sky-blue days
We had the best of times
Beauty screams as is blesses your face,
Seeing you sad
With the mascara smudged down your face,
Breaks my heart.
Listen to me,
The ways your eyes glisten,
Glowing green in the sun,
She's broken inside
with nowhere to hide,
yet she has everything in the world.
She's got family and friends
and the spoiling never ends.
But what she wants
is just a connection.
Where is he?
This is another story that I often think about:
the story of the team
after the car crash that ended the life of one of their own
fleeing to the dark library and grieving over a death far too early;
1) I love you. I love you like a sister, like a crazy aunt, and sometimes even like you’re my lesbian lover, when you’re in the mood to piss off your grandmother. I love you…. But…
Fire and Water
Air and Earth
Older than all is Spirit
Fire and Water were first to meet
Fire so fierce
Water so tempering
Can't always get along
But both are needed to keep Chaos at bay
Everyday I see you
and everyday you look at me
Everyday we talk
we argue and laugh together
Everyday i bump you
and everyday you bump me
Yet it feels at though you have never seen me
Spring had sprung,
I was on the run.
Looking for something,
Searching for someone.
Your eyes met mine,
Like the freeze of time.
In that defining moment,
I decided you'd be mine.
You make me laugh,
You make me cry,
You make me want to hate good bye.
You make me love,
You make me free,
But most of all you make me me.
Rules.
Are meant to be broken.
Promises.
Are meant to be kept.
Secrets.
Are meant to be told.
Friendships.
Are meant for you to hold.
Relationships.
Aren't always perfect.
I'm just a girl,
A girl in love,
A girl that knows what she wants,
Is just out of reach.
I'm just a girl.
A girl that is smart.
A girl that knows what she knows,
Is just not enough.
I'm sorry I made you fall for me,
though neither is at fault.
If I could help you get over me,
I would, but that's impossible.
Whatever you like about me,
you'd see more of it.
SNAP. my head flies back
How did I get so far off track
It must be apologized, must be fixed
Her mind must be spinning with all my tricks
A jerk? no I've been an ass
An apology in bulk and mass
He was special,
He was my first kiss,
He was my best friend,
I wish I could see him again.
Remember the joy,
And remember the fun,
All of the days we had in room 161.
How we laughed and joked together,
And broke many of the rules,
But how we couldn't have helped it
As if it weren't enough, to choke up all my trust
friends are foe, boys come and go,
the clothes I wear lack lust.
Come to school and "look a fool"
go home then start again.
She speaks in similes.
Using her devil tongue.
The way she utters
A complexity of evil words
Constructed to fit perfectly
Into the shape of a heart that beats directly into her palm.
My friends call me mom.
Jokingly, not in bad content.
I keep my friends out of trouble:
"go to work instead of going to that party",
"Have you done your homework yet?"
Dark, cold, alone.
Sitting here, waiting.
Waiting for what? Not sure myself.
The sun rises, and gives me hope.
Hope for a better day. A new beginning.
But that hope is empty. Meaningless.
I have a dream,
Similar to Martin Luther King,
I want us all to succeed.
The words, "We have finally made it" to be uttered through our hearts,
Shared by
Our differences,
Always thought
it would be
you and me
against the world.
thought we'd be
unstopable
and we could
do anything.
it's not
you and me
against the world
la la la
Is this it? I have to find my purpose. I can't sit. I think about what God wants me to do. Why things happen, and what I been through. I know there's more. While men and women are at war. I'm alone fighting myself.
how stupid am i to believe
EVEN FOR A SECOND
that I could possibly
NOT TRUST
my sister
my own sister
I'M SORRY
(June 5, 2010)
Now I could just leave you out of the listthat I madeof princessesOr decide to giveyour princess to youas an ironic thinglike saying,here ‘princess’you self-righteous brat
There are things that breakI have 4% left on my computerand shaking my head to Book of Jamesby We Are Augustines.It was a privilege to know youTo hold you in my thoughtsmy prayers
“For Lexi Brain”because you are something specialand I see it in your eyesespeciallybut not restricted tothe time on FridayI thinkOr Thursday
I struggled against my restraints
I was forced here,
into a cage
I wasn't meant to be locked away
I have things to do,
Places to see,
People to meet
Brother and Sister;
So close in heart
And dear in soul.
Only a moment
Took one from the other
With no villain to hunt.
One glance
Two
Three
Stop
A quick touch
One flick of the wrist
To a hand that's always been open
But never accepted
Avoid his eyes
Ignore his emotions
Razor Blade
Dealing with depression—it’s a hard thing that I wouldn’t even wish on my worst enemy. Seriously.
Wanting to not be alive, to disappear, and to not be seen. It’s too hard to deal with.
People stand behind me
Supporting me
Cheering me on
They're my closest friends
In front of me
Are my enemies
I know they hate me
Their faces filled with disgust
"Since when do you wear your hair like that?""Since when do you listen to RAP music? Oh! My! GOODNESS! Those lyrics are ridiculous. You never listened to that before.""Since when do you think you can come home this late?""Since when do you burp?
Nothing lasts forever.
Things change,
people change.
You change,
tthey change.
Even when we know this,
we refuse to believe it.
We make bonds,
build relationships,
Sweet like soda pop,
Bubbly like champagne,
You make everyone around you laugh and smile.
The misty sky
That makes rainbows appear,
A kaleidoscope
Beautiful like gems in the sun,
I never thought that I could feel this way
I never really searched for this feeling
- None worthy to share it with anyway
But I stumbled on it, now I’m tingling
Treatment
Bleed it out
Like a snake bite,
The venom that roils and riles
In my blood
That rages and boils
Bleed it out,
Run 'till my feet
Tickle with flames.
Search for strength,
They are with you when needed.
Soulful angels in our crises.
They wear wings – wings of love.
What would we do if they were not there?
Civilization would cease.
The world would be so cruel.
Grab my jacket, grab my keysSneak down the stairs, a step creaks: Freeze!Listen for shuffling, all is clearResume my tiptoe, the door is nearGrab the knob, turn it to the sideOpen it slightly and see my ride
Your favorite color is blueAnd all small things matter to you
From the beauty withinThat rank a high ten
To the smile outsideThat you should never hide
It’s music note coming at you
Throwing these facts down so you’ll understand where I’m coming from
I mean the point of me stating these facts
We blame others for what they can't be
But we cover ourselves in false identities
With our selective perception
We ignore those we can't see
But hide in lies and obscurity
It may be hard to believe
This day was coming
We saw it from the horizon
And how akward it is
Now that we can hold it in our hands
But It'll pass us by
This is just a new beginning
Because we know somewhere deep down
With tears unshed, and eyes open wide Days of class and work and normal blur by, But now I think I’m safe with eyes dried, Yet why do I always feel about to cry? This world is cruel, not one I trust as a friend That has not hurt my heart or mind,
I convinced myself that the world hated me.
I saw there's no good I could be.
In reality I was the only real bully.
I beat myself up and called myself ugly.
I saw that I all I ever brought was pain.
You see what you want me to see,
but yet you do not see what you're supposed to see.
I went home both days and nights,
sitting there, fighting my own fights.
No teacher, no staff, no parents; no one
For better or for worse,
Lovers pass.
In sickness and in health,
Lovers pass.
The seasons seem to change with the people,
Not the other way around.
We’re all just floating along in this mistaken world,
Why do I feel so worthless? I am lost in the high seas of people I have known for years. Yet, I am found in a group of complete strangers.
Loving a convict is hard they say
staying withen here is a price to pay
its loving her with no one to hold
while being young and seeing old
its letting her write her love for you
you write her back
when i was little, i was lonelyi looked for people like me -i found you, and you were greatfor a while at least.
When the blood of kings is shed
and the world grows silent, waiting
then a single spark of dread
breaks the silence of the fighting
When the blood of kings is shed
I shatter mirrors relentlessly thinking ''what more bad luck is there in the world,
than the bad luck I serve every day.'' Bad luck is my parasite, It consumes my little bit
She had a twin sister of whom no one knew.
She impersonated her through and through.
She went to school and lived her life,
Bullying everyone, and being bullied with strife.
I used to steal everything
All my jewelry and perfume
But you can’t steal from a coffee shop
So that’s where all my money went
I knew a girl who took fire to her arms
You know that moment
you feel wounded and broken?
You say something easy and fine
and they look at you with a blank line.
Are you in my family?
I know it's a silly question but answer please.
My family helps me and I help them.
I know I would help you, but would you help me?
My family cares about me and I care about them.
Life is a perpetual cold.
It is said to cure it
"Do what you're told.
Don't stray from the norm,
or life will suck."
But I am not a sitting duck.
The status quo is getting old,
Brace all of those that you meet. This life is not certain, it is not steady…But the power to control it is within yourself.
Believe in the best in others, but be wary of the misfortune they may bring.
I hate those eyes,
That filled the empty void,
I hate their soft glow,
that promised me everything.
I hate those eyes,
that let me into your heart,
and welcomed me so warmly,
told me I am home.
Making friends is easy,we're all friends on the playground
We all share the same toys,in tag no one is left out
Time to go to a new school,it's very exciting
The time is approaching, Summer breeze in the air
Clocks are ticking, Yet we seem to not care
Friends and parties are on our mind
Unfortunately, not realizing, were running out of time
I am born surrounded by people
I grew up surrounded by people
Regardless of being surrounded by people
My choices are mine alone...
Through the good and bad times
Dear God,
Where were you?
Sincerely,
Daughter of an alcoholic narcissist.
Dear Father,
Where were you?
Sincerely,
Daughter of an alcoholic narcissist
Dear Mother,
I don't like to be ignored.
Actually I HATE to be ignored.
And fuck those of you who immediately think that I am an attention whore.
I'm not, I just don't like to be ignored.
I smile
I laugh
I joyously shout
I hug
I cry for them
And they cry for me
I help as best I can
I pry for those who need the prying
I hide for those who want the hiding
The first love poem
Inscribed on a clay tablet
By Sumerians
Does not speak of
Candy hearts or kisses or
Perfumed nothings
That make your heart beat and your
Cheeks flush hotly red.
Days pass by
and yet I can't stop
continuous contemplation.
Financial Crisis
College problems
combined these cause
pain and distress
continuous contemplation.
I choose this road
He looked so sad in photographs;
He looked so scared, so lost, confused,
and yet he laughed.
That tentative half-smile, those distant eyes,
portray a struggle, wounds, and damage.
He feels so isolated
My problem is that a love a lotI love an abundant amount of peopleFrom family to friendsTo strangers I met just onceSo I suppose I say I love you too muchBut I believe love comes in many forms and levels
Why is it things can never stay the same?Everything constantly changing,I need a timeout in this gameBefore I yell out, screaming, raging.When things finally seem like they're going as planned;
Day breaks at dawn,
Falls at dusk,
Leaving me alone.
Taking away the magic,
That once was.
Mind racing to remember,
Only to find pages of white.
The painting that used to be,
Just waking up on a summer day
Maybe it's noon or later okay
You stretch for your phone just to see
Message Received "Hey it's me(:"
Groaning and complaining you reply
My private thoughts are my worst enemy
Things that shouldn’t roam my mind, do.
Eventually it becomes too much
So I open my mouth
And when I do, all my thoughts flow out
tears of eyes are
valuable
speech of lips are
powerful
heart with love
is beautiful
life with friends
is most wonderful
~thoughts of pain,self inflicted
~so weak and tired
~barely having the will to lift my head
~i almost give in,
~i almost cave
~i wanted to curl up and die
~but i dont
~i cry myself to sleep
The scent of
the juice of
apples on her breath
mixes (by 10pm) with the café cigarettes &
coffee in her hair
And she told us that when she dreams, she goes to every country on Earth,
As he lied, she continued to beat
Those watching could only sigh,
The ordeal consumed him, he could no longer eat
His body, his will, appeared to be weak,
MY dearest friendTell me that things happen for a reason and I’ll tell you that you’re here on this earth for a reason. Together we’ll never fall short :)
I’m succumbing
Giving into the urge.
I want to stop.
Pause.
Why do I breathe,
When every gasp burns my throat?
I can’t find myself
And I’ve already lost you.
Have I lived so long, as I have lived today?
For it seems to me,
That as the hour swings near,
Journey's End, comes to a close.
It was on this day that I reflected,
Once on my youth,
I have two friends, Money and Knowledge.
I met Knowledge as a child and I met Money as a teen.
Both supported me but the difference was Money was harsh and Knowledge was kind.
Paper wisps
right of my forehead, the sun
the left, love – the unconditional kind
I feel that gold
Still hot when we’re done
And embraces are given.
This invisible leap our youth takes
what happened to our worldwhat happened to ours boys and ours girlswhat made them look down at the people in their phonesinstead of the ones the ones in their homes
Her eyes sparkle like diamonds,
A smile plays across her lips,
Her hair blows gently in the whispering wind.
No one knew the secrets behind her eyes.
I once met a man who’s very presence sent my mind into a frenzy;his words calmed the storms that raged within my heart,and his laughter was the flame that lit a fire in my soul.
What might be okay today
won't be okay tomorrow.
When your mind allows impulses to take over,
it's like you're giving up,
you gave up your strength.
Strength is usually what helps me through,
Meeting someone new is great
they make you realize you can kick all the bad ones out
getting to know the new, better peopleis just
indescribable feeling
hearing their stories
learning their ways
When you feel the need to cry, open up and yell to the sky. Share your many sorrows with the nesting sparrows and scream your agony to the clouds.
It seems like I've known you forever
But we just met this past year
Our friendship will last 'til the end
Trust me I have no fears
You smile when I say something nice
It hurts me, more than it hurts you
Seeing the pain in your eyes makes me want to die
I will never understand it, but I’ll do my best and try
But I guess if nothing was said, I really didn’t know you at all
It's been awhile since we talked,
It's just that talking has become hard,
Things have changed more than I thought.
Oh, how your friendship cannot be undone.Your presence does not fail to amaze meWhich proves your worth. The hugging sun is funTo feel as we revel in youthful daze.
At first is exciting then its a blur,
pretending to be popular as if you were,
making new friends that you'll have till the end
laughing and joking until you bump heads
although its a journey a clear road lies ahead
To you,
Nothing more than a simple brown
And then hidden behind those black rims you despise,
Yet those are the only eyes that keep me on the ground.
You hate going outside,
And though I've abide to this,
A friend is a friend that is reliable and caring
Very fun to be around and very understanding.
A friend is a friend that is loyal and true
Kind and trusting and will always be there beside you
Friends grant charming wishes,
Friends enchant you with joy,
Friends let you absorb their affection,
Superficially matters if's a girl or a boy.
Just give those favorable buddies a ring,
i hear your laugh dailyi picture your smile ofteni contemplate about the night they took my friendtrying to block it out but it plays again
the family sat around a table
filling every chair
every chair but one
there was one empty chair
he sat by the phone
wanting to talk
but the phone didn't ring
it wouldn't ring
Remember our finger painting years
You and me, You and I
Friends...
Sharing snacks and having slumbers
PJ's and blankets
Talking and sharing stories
Remember that?
I'm never stable cause I'm always replaced.
Friends are never friends,its a never ending race.
I won't stay here forever,and plus you wouldn't care.
As I walk away with nothing,just the wind blowing my hair
So I want to make it work,
Which means you got to work,
And make sure it’s worth, our time.
I'm letting the pass go
Instead of letting you go
Cause I would never
Pass up the chance
Hello, goodbye
My, time sure will fly
Many people come, many people go
Either in large, wide groups or on on their own, solo
Feeling very ecstatic, feeling unfortunate and sad
Church a place, where you
Draw close to the creator.
Church a place where you go to get you too eternal.
Church a place where you hear the sound of the beautiful drums.
Those spares,
That piano,
My friends aren't really friends,
they're siblings,
they quietly jump my house's fence
and call me by the window,
we haven't necessarily told us the world,
but when we do,
Since the beginning,
You and I friends from the start.
It was amazing,
How nothing broke us apart.
Cause time moved on and we held strong.
I love the way the pages crinkle
Crackle when I flip them over.
The thin feel of oinion skin (are they really?)
So smooth I sometimes run the pads of my fingers
Down the page.
When I say no,
I mean it.
When I say yes,
It seems to fit.
When I cry,
It’s for a reason.
When I smile,
I’m having fun.
When I frown,
It’s ‘cause I’m happy.
When I yell,
What has changed them?
We were always the same,
Yet somehow we were parted,
And for some reason, I take the blame.
When you see me you would think,
There goes a strong young man.
Never close to breaking him,
He feels as much as a tin can.
And if you asked me now,
this is what I'd tell.
I've never shed a tear
They say to drop the past;
that it is not important.
How can one forget someone like you?
Forget the memories of our joined lives?
How close we were
when we played "Store"
and "Newspaper."
"Is she always like this?"
I'm asked time and time again
The crowd always follows
Even when they know nothing
They're curious about her
As only the physical is obvious to them
The end of the road is coming near
Get back on my own two feet
And walk away from fear
Fear that I wont ever make it to the top of the world
And put my worries aside
And climb that mountain
Little Little People they come right in
they come right underneath my chinny chin chin
the view from the top always see their heads spin
never in their lifetime they'll see my head spin
Friends walk into our lives,
and walk out as easily.
It makes me question their strives,
Isn't that terribly?
crumbling walls in a deteriorated village
the sentiment builds by the minute
and every minute
a new tower fumbles.
All it would take for the ending of this destruction
is one hand to grab another
I feel the beat
Rushing through my veins
Shaking my bones.
It pulses
Living and strong.
I feel myself open up
A weight lifted off my chest
Like a beautifully decorated circus elephant
Inevitable.
My fate is inevitable.
That last sweet goodbye will cling to my mind like moss to a tree for the rest of my life.
Sometimes that moss is so beautiful.
The tree's greatest quality.
How close can you go without saying to someone,
All the things you keep bottled up inside,
Your true thoughts,
How you really feel,
How close can you go without saying it?
Regret is something you feel from experience
It burns through my core from thoughts of the war
I cant take the memories that shatter my dreams anymore
It grips my mind till my body falls to the floor
I remember that time we met
You stood on that stage and did your thing
I was so amazed by your raw talent
You smiled at me
I smiled back
At times when things are hopeless;
Ones you love are far away;
Remember the cheer and laughter
From a long-gone day.
Life comes, life goes, this and more we know.
But do we see, why it goes?
Friends stay, friends leave, if only by who’s heave?
True friends they do never leave.
Family is, family was, is there ever a because?
He constantly corrects me.
He knows how to corrupt me.
He never lets me sleep.
While he's up all night talking to me.
(poems go here) Laying on your chest,
Playing in your hair.
With you I am at my best.
But I would never dare speak—I would never dare say,
The three words that keep—Reoccurring in my head.
The gift of light from the morning sun gives hope anew for what's to come
Friends of plenty and worries few are side effects of flowers dew.
But as the light begins to fade I see my friends will do the same.
He was lonely, sad, and depressed
Yet still looked lovely
Everything he did was accomplished so gracefully
He was an outsider that everyone noticed
Many thought he was weird
Maybe you do not understand that the past is in the past, yet I am still chained to it.
Maybe you do not understand that every time someone mentions that theme I cringe.
The moral of the story is, the only way to learn to game is, to take a turn. I don't want to bore you with the names of all the rules, but you will learn. I just won't allow myself to pay for all the fools, sitting on the shelf.
From friends from before, to friends I’ve never met…
Like playing cards they are, when the deck is shuffled
Same cards, different cards,
Or a mix of both.
I was serious. I'm not writing a poem today. I just feel like ranting, because I can't think of a way to write a narrative poem that could say everything on my mind. Heh, no epics today my friends.
Remember
I was shattered, broken
With only myself to put back together
The warped and scattered pieces of me
Friends hid, few stood by
As I found myself after the storm
A girl who longs for more
friends, f is for friends r is for real i is for invintaions E is for endless N is for no where D is for doing S is so sorry
I'll hold you still, even still
So trust me and this bridge we've built
Made of wood and stones we haven't thrown
I won't cast against you why you have grown
I hear yelling. People getting put down. I'm getting put down. I see my friends in the hallway. They don't know what is going on. They laugh, tell jokes, have fun. But I feel alone. They feel like something is going on with me. But I hide it.
I'll start walkin' your way,
You start walkin' mine.
Best friends forever,
No matter how far away.
We'll find the means
To stay that way.
I'll start walkin' your way,
You start walkin' mine.
Late fall.
So late that the scent of fall had to be searched for in the wintry air.
But it was there
and she breathed it in as she strolled through the park.
Leaves covered the grass,
What happened to our friendship? Why did you leave?
We were so young, we were so naïve.
We didn’t know what a terrible plight
And now we are stuck in this miserable spite.
Maybe we can survive,
Every soldier knows his name,
Every soldier plays his game.
He walks with them every day,
But he's been know to wink they say.
He is the soldiers constant friend,
Who stands with them until the end.
I was strong when I was questioned about my gender.
I was strong when people made fun of the way I looked.
I was strong when my "friends" turned the class on me.
I was strong when I had no one to turn to...to call friend
I’m faking a smile.
Is it all worthwhile?
Seeing my friends,
My happiness bends.
I fear it shall end.
The stress, it still builds,
Though I wish life would gild.
With a force greater than gravity
I'd fight for you,
Because this life won't mean a thing
if you're not sheltered beneath my wing,
With a depth deeper than the darkest abyss
I can relate to you,
best friends are the ones who will be there for you even when you do wrong
they will pick you up when you have fallen
they will be there when you need a shoulder to cry on
what should I do
which side to pick
in this battle
in my mind
that’s killing me inside
my heart chooses one
society chooses one
and I pick one
and I pick wrong
and I know it’s wrong
BOOM
It broke like a bomb, explosions sound and the only thing I can hear is a heartbeat.
Is that mine?
Am I still:
Beating?
Breathing?
Being?
As exposed to the perils of the world
Thus, we begin our journey.
I love this part of the journey:
Of nodded heads and friendly shoulder pats
Of friends met by dawn
And normally a friend ill-met by moonlight
Twilight falls across my heart as darkness creeps like spiders crawl and love is lost to waters fall but when the day was bright and new sun was light and love was true.
Every Morning,
I wake up to my father telling me to get ready for another day in the chamber.
I strap on my clothing with a jumbled mind.
I try to think of what I need but I quit and go straight to my bag.
You say that we can work things out
But yet we never speak
There lays this hurt and doubt
That the love that was there is now weak
I still try my hardest to do whats right
Friends turn fake, to trust is a mistake
Someone can swear to secrecy, but its not rare for it to break
So watch the friends that you make, before its too late
Life f*cks you over but you keep yourself from getting raped
It's funny,
when people ask you if you're sad
and you just smile,
and say "no",
and they walk away, satisfied,
Thinking that they were mistaken
That they misread the moment
of pain,
depression,
I'm tired of listening
But I'm willing to listen
About the two guys
Both vying for you
You know I don't
Want to hear about it all
And get mad when I tell you what I feel
About the boys
Love shouldn't hurt, shouldn't make you cry
Love should be there when your tears need dried
Love doesn't bruise or cause you pain
Love should keep you from blame
Love is romance, Love is fun
Never harsh
Or to demanding
Always kind
And understanding
Never there
But always here
Never close
But always near
A true friend
Is always dear
Quietly listening
New faces bring new thunderstorms
The smell of fresh rain on pavement shows change in the air
The lightning flashes a bright sky for a split second
The moment rips away as thunder claps the same old darkness back
Beauty in Darkness
Can you find beauty
When its cold
When its down
Can you find beauty
When your alone
When its dark and scary
When all your friends and family leave you to fend for yourself
The two of us are so not alike,
But side by side we are partners in crime
Anything that sparkles, glitters, or shines,
Will grab my attention, but your more for spikes.
Constellation street is where the broken people go,
the ones looking for humbled heroes and forgotten dream.
It's where lost ones go when they want to be found
(because everyone needs to be found sometime).
~bestfriends
I call you bestfriend and you know what i mean
I tell you i love you
and it’s exactly what it seems
we never crossed the lines
only in our dreams
you’re always by my side
True friends are very rare
But luckily I've got you.
No one can Compare
With the friendship that we grew.
Our friendship is like a moon
It will never fade
Even if it's the afternoon
Some Mornings I wake up
Drowning in sensations
Unique to past moments
And I am buried in a stuffy area
At the top of my mind
Musty with nostalgia
And I relive these moments:
Imagine, playing a gameof cards all relaxed
When all of a sudden someone yells "rats"
We started arguing about hwo won.
We did not notice what had begun.
Your smile is my sun,
your eyes- my entire world.
I could only stand back and watch,
as everything unfurled.
my happiness,
though riddled with holes i must admit
(aren’t they all)
is warm and full and is all there
because of you
you you you
i am happy because
All I ever wanted was to be beautiful.
Like new mothers,
like flickering candles in dark rooms
like flowers pressed into books
like new shoes...
I am from pool parties and barbecues
Summer nights skipping rocks at the river.
I am from fireworks and sparklers,
Scrapes knees and bug bites.
I am from sunshine and smiles,
Ice cream and water fights.
Just another flower dancing in the wind,
enjoying the break in the weather.
Friends gathering to celebrate summer getting closer.
Friends are supposed to pick me up when I fall...right?
So why when I am crying in the corner you never ask me what's wrong
How come when I tell you my aunt has cancer you just shrug your shoulders
(A poem based on telling my past self four years ago)-Does contain suggestive language
Dear freshman me:
Hey!- you yes you there blond- hair tip moron
-sighs-
I have many great friends
Who care about where I end
And enjoy being around me
Who make me smile
And laugh
And cry
Clash the Tones,
Dial your Life.
Make the Call,
Pay the Price.
Get the Message,
Forward the Tones.
Spread the Word,
Redial your Friends.
Tell the News,
Stay on Hold.
This is Life,
I see you everyday-
Then I see you every month-
I see you less and less.
How can we still be-
Acting like it was middle school?
How can I still be trying to get your attention-
What if all my friends changed?
Would I still be friends with them?
What if they were judgmental?
Would I be looked at in a bad way?
What if they all turn against me?
Would I resolve the problem?
I’m the person you run to when you need a friend.
When you need a shoulder to cry on, to complain.
When you need someone to confide in, I’m always there.
True friends are hard to find,
Ones that are true and kind.
That's what I found in you,
Something I have only found in so few.
Dear Lord,
I've always come to church,
Always believed.
Yet somewhere, somehow,everything went wrong.
All my friends are left behind,
The school I once knew is gone,
Turn your eyes from me
I don’t need your pity
I’m not some helpless puppy
Your generosity is anything but kind
Leading me astray; playing tricks on my mind
The sun rolls down the crested hill,
The light, it follows after.
The clouds drift by as sandy dunes,
The sky, it echoes laughter
Of days well spent and friends well made,
Of quests before and yon.
Yellow is the sun
Shining bright and true.
Yellow is the color
That makes up a palette brew.
Yellow can be hot
Like the sun shining bright.
Yellow can be cool
Like the lights I see at night.
Well I know what I need.
And that need is to sleep.
And just as I begin to drift my thoughts began to creep.
That's when I lose it.
The hurtfull things they say bother me more than I'd like to admit.
Friends are always leaving me, that's what friends are for
All these windows keep on closing as they're walking out the door
Freshman year in high school, had two friends, to my chagrin
She is unwanted; someone everyone looks over
She wonders why you make her suffer
She hears your cruel words playing in her head like a broken record
Every day she prays to her Lord
How are you?
It's awful I don't know.
Where have you been?
Not in my life; that's for sure
Why did you leave?
I can't seem to find you.
Why am I still here?
You left me behind you.
Interrupted Solace in a Winter's Evening
Every once and awhile I like to be alone
I burrow in the confines of my memory
And dart from conversations like a fish from glass
Possibly destroying my own future
But I can't bear to see those faces.
If running from the people
Who are supposed to always be there for me
Helps me feel free
Then run I shall.
