  Life is Like a Snow Globe

  

  By Alyssa95, Lodi, WI

  Life is like a snow globe. There are moments of beauty and calm happiness, yet every now and again, things get rather shaken up. It feels like your world is tilting and falling all around you. Yet it always finds its way back to a calmer level. We all long for those moments in our lives and wish tha...

  Destroying Earth

  

  By Alyssa95, Lodi, WI

  Throwing that garbage out the window, Careless and ignorant As the world changes around us. Garbage chokes out the ground's fertile life, Man-made structures and creations murder nature, As we sit around and wonder Why is our world falling apart?...

  Hold On

  

  By Alyssa95, Lodi, WI

  Closer we became until Suddenly maybe we were too close. We drifted, Talked less and shared fewer thoughts We have gotten so close Yet oh, so far From what both of us so long to have. More than best friends, Less than that, though, too. Our emotions are jumbled, Falling into a mess We try...

  Bullying Destroys

  

  By Alyssa95, Lodi, WI

  My body has met many surfaces; It has been thrown against the wall, Pushed to the floor, Smashed into the lockers. My mind has met many attacks; It has been sculpted to believe I am worthless, Pushed around and made to self-loath, Smashed into fragmented pieces of what it once was. Bullying ...

  Bullied to Bully

  

  By Alyssa95, Lodi, WI

  As I am shoved to the wall, Thrown to the floor. Shoved into a locker, Mocked and teased, Hurt both physically and mentally, I stand back up and shake it off. A bully gets no greater joy Than seeing the bullied down. As a victim of bullying, I say stand back up, Stand against the hurt, Ge...

  My Memories With You

  

  By Alyssa95, Lodi, WI

  The moments I've forgotten Are gone for a reason, The memories I can't forget I hope will be here to stay. Yet memories often fail me As time wears them away, No one stays the same for long And then before I know it they're gone. So when I take these photos Or write down how ...

  My Key

  

  By Alyssa95, Lodi, WI

  The feelings I thought were lost Are now again remembered As you open locked doors That never had a key. Sometimes I sit and wonder What you've done to me. Then I decide to just go with it, I don't want to loose my key....

  My World

  

  By Alyssa95, Lodi, WI

  While countless others are sitting near Someone they cannot bear to loose, I sit here wishing I wasn't about to loose The one I cannot bear to loose. Often feeling different and somehow not correct, I seem outside of other teen life And my world seems like Another world, Unlike their...

  Everything

  

  By Alyssa95, Lodi, WI

  Finally figuring it out, I'm not at all a loser like they said, They were wrong and I am not ugly, My voice should be heard and not hidden, Popularity in high school doesn't actually mean Everything. Maybe now they will figure it out, They will see that I am actually a fun person, ...

  When the time refuses to move away When the time of day stands the same When the clock of life is held at bay The past will catch up to us The present will meet the gloom The Darkness will catch up And the clock will move forward once more...

  Smile or Cry?

  

  By Alyssa95, Lodi, WI

  Pain engulfs my every being, Yet still I cannot show the world: How it feels to be me. Outside everyone sees me smile- I laugh because it helps me cope. My happiness you see is a false image, Something I wish I would feel inside. Through the deaths, neglect, and depression- I smile and laugh...

  I Build Up Another Wall

  

  By Alyssa95, Lodi, WI

  When I feel scared or alone. I build up a wall. When I am hurting and cannot continue. I build another wall. When no one is there and I weep through the pain. I build up a wall. Then I am better. I build another wall. All I know is protecting myself, I know not how to let my walls down. ...
