  Sleepy Monday Eyes

  

  By TubaLady, Athens, MI

  Sleepy Monday eyes rest on tired faces. -Hey, don't say rest! I'm tired. Sleepy Monday eyes lie on tired faces. -Don't say lie, I'm too sleepy. Sleepy Monday eyes painted on tired faces. -Painted, now that's better. Sleepy Monday eyes-- Okay, who are you? -I'm th...

  Mean Girl Gossip

  

  By TubaLady, Athens, MI

  Because of your attitudes You click like ball point pens. As the lunch room grows louder, Your voices lower; Heads encircle the table's center As you spill the news. Your mean girl gossip Does more damage than good, And the only ones left unbroken are you....

  Marching Season [My Favorite Season]

  

  By TubaLady, Athens, MI

  Uniformity Lacked by God's world in his hand Is carried out by the marching band Music Attempted by nature, but annoying so soon Rings from the band as they all play in tune Beauty Nature can hold, but wait, now, just yet As the band marches the field with their high-step Devotion Fal...

  Love The Way

  

  By TubaLady, Athens, MI

  I love the way your eyes are two cool pools of teal. I love the way, the spotlight, your smile steals. I love the way your voice is pure and clear. But why don't you love the way my eyes are green and gold? Why don't you love the way my smiling face cannot get old? Why don't...

  Look [Up] To The Sky

  

  By TubaLady, Athens, MI

  Bright as the sun, You're my only one. You bring my room to life As I'm bathed in your light. Naught a flaw nor spot I see, You're everything I wish to be. Well-liked and never hated; My love, you don't seem jaded. As long as the sea is blue, I will forever love you....

  I Don't Miss You At All

  

  By TubaLady, Athens, MI

  I miss the way it used to be, When it was just the three of us. We would sit and discuss Topics high school girls should talk about. But now you've gone and kicked me out; Stolen laughter that filled the air, Thrown me away without a care. Yet you're the one who'll pay, When ...

  High School Never Ends

  

  By TubaLady, Athens, MI

  It ticks, ticks, ticks away, My life. It goes, goes, goes, Begone. Who knows, knows, knows How long? Emotions are hit, hit, hit In high-school. It never stops, stops, stops; No matter how long, long, long You wait, wait, wait. High school never ends [ends, ends, ends]....

  Deep Down You Love Me

  

  By TubaLady, Athens, MI

  A simple "Yay!" may brighten your day, As your presence brightens mine. I know you know I'm all alone, But you do naught to help. You offer words of simple thought that made me think that you forgot: Too shy, am I, to make an approach. I wish you would take action to help me....

  All We Need To Fall Into

  

  By TubaLady, Athens, MI

  Look at my face and judge my smile, Look in my eyes and you just might realize The pain I keep from you, because Underneath it all, I hide my lonely soul That's been shattered into a million pieces Like your heart. [Hey!] You're not alone, not alone, you're not alone. [Hey!] Yo...

  A Composition of Darkness

  

  By TubaLady, Athens, MI

  She was lost in life, given the cold shoulder. She passed over to the dark side and was accepted. Time after, she wanted to go back. Fruitless attempts to keep her all worked, except for the last. She was granted back, but still, they begged her to stay. She was so torn, so conflicted, her pain and ...

  You Say, But You Can't

  

  By TubaLady, Athens, MI

  You say you understand How I feel. But you don't. You say you know what it's like, That you've been where I have been. But you haven't. You say you'll be right by my side, Guard my heart from the whole wide world. But you won't. You say that others have wa...

  The Only Silence I Can Aquire

  

  By TubaLady, Athens, MI

  True, True, False, True. A, A, C, B, D, C, B. No, wait, that one is False. Maybe it's A, not B. Did I really write the wrong date? At least I spelled my name right. I'm seriously the last one testing? It's so quite. I like it like that. Unicorns and doodles fill the margins. ...

  No, This Is Hell

  

  By TubaLady, Athens, MI

  The diverse Hell passes by, A stream of color before my eyes. Your preps, your populars, Jocks, and goths. Misfits hide within the corner, Discussing Batman at age sixteen. And here i sit, alone, With naught a friend to show. My poetry my only Friend. In the lunchroom, You hear teens chat...

  This Is What I Loved?

  

  By TubaLady, Athens, MI

  There's somrething about the trees Less inviting. Cold and bare. More unapproachable, more rogue. I can't believe I love you, once, You look despicable btween the fall And Michigan's winter. So grotesque, A strange figure. Monstrosity. I walk away, but the thorny bushes Have h...

  Sleepy Words

  

  By TubaLady, Athens, MI

  Writing. Writing My beautiful words. Words within my poetry. The words I worship, The words I mourn. The words I cherish. Words that make my blood run cold. That make me cry a thousand tears. The words of my heart. I lay down my head, The clock says it is late, My eyes shut. Beautiful w...
