I know it’s been awhile since we spoke,
though I don’t mean to prod or poke.
Last spring I chatted you up,
where you replied "hey sup?"
We began to grow close as friends,
intertwining like broken stitched mends.
I told you I’d be home for summer,
knowing it wouldn’t be a b...
I wrote this poem to let you know,
I think your a backstabbing cup of Joe.
Hoping you read this and think:
"This is how low she sinks".
I wrote this poem to make you learn,
that this is how blushing truly burns.
All that trash about me you spoke,
Karma will come back and make you ch...
Rivers flow like life:
rushing down the great current,
we face obstacles.
Causing questions to be asked,
we search for answers,
but we often find despair.
Water pounding us,
causing our fears to take hold,
we strive to gasp air.
Though not forever;
Dreams can come true if we fight,
and be...
I walk onto the fresh cut grass,
It’s like stain colored glass.
It’s our champion game,
and decides our fame.
We stretch and do our jog,
there’s a light mist and early morning fog.
We pass the ball and do some drills,
knowing that losing is what truly kills.
I hold my head high,
playi...
Fear: an emotion that makes life so unclear,
It makes us worry for time,
and can turn you bitter like a lime,
It takes away the light,
which causes things to go bump in the night,
It sends shivers down our spins,
and strangles us like thorned vines,
We all live in Fear,
since it can take tho...
For so long I have been frozen in limbo,
It started even before you began dating that bimbo.
I couldn’t be there with you,
Having to move made me sad and blue.
But now it’s time for me to thaw,
No longer am I going to fold or withdraw.
I look at the world with strength and power,
Hoping t...
I sit here in class,
seeing mindless bodies of mass.
Math always makes me bitter,
but so does this season of winter.
I can't wait 'til the summer,
frankly because school is such a bummer.
I close my eyes and see it all,
planning my escape from these locker filled halls.
I want to b...
Free to be me,
to wear what i want,
to speak how i feel,
to walk with power,
to taste the world,
to be a friend,
to fall in love,
to be unique,
to stand taller,
to feel safer,
to have no fear,
to be an equal,
to believe in truth,
to have no cares,
to fly above the skies,
to live in th...
Love was given to us by Mischief Cupid,
but i am just incredibly stupid.
I decided to tempt Fate,
not realizing what we had was great.
I thought i wanted to be free,
but needing you is what i now see.
Your back with The Tease,
that annoying walking disease.
I will win you back,
even if it m...
I awake to the aroma of fresh apple pie, which makes me rise from my nightly lie.
I walk out into the autumn air, the wind blowing into my curly hair.
The outside world smells of pumpkin spice, and the faint coolness of winter ice.
The colored leaves are bright, filling the trees in a whirlwind ...
Calmed by a River,
a rushing slither.
Blue and fresh,
the current moving against my flesh.
The fish swimming down stream,
I feel the bright sun beam.
I feel a tingle in my liver,
calmed by a river....
I like you,
but I wish it wasn't true.
I see your blue eyes,
which make me cry.
You stand so tall,
while i simply fall.
I give my hugs to you,
but you don't know what to do.
You look at me as a friend,
and i don't think my heart will mend.
I move away,
our friendship sway...
