Poems
Who am I to Care?
I walked in the rain
My hair getting wet
But who am I to care?
I give muffled cries
And pull my hoodie farther over my eyes
Tears stain my face
My dad is dead
And it's my fault
I cry till I can't cry no more
My dad is gone
And now my life is empty
I walk in the rain
Feeling the precipitation on my skin
But who am I to care?
Windows
I stare out my window
In search of you
I peer through the glass
Waiting for you to appear
But I know for a fact
You're not coming back
I'll never see your shining smile
As you walk up my driveway
I'll always remember your face
As you walked through my door
I stare out the window
Knowing you'll never be there
I'll peer through the glass
My body remaining here
Lost
I'm lost
Where am I?
I need you
But I cannot hear you
I move my way
Along the wall
Then I drop
Unto another endless darkness
I'm lost
Where am I?
I cannot see you
But I know you're here too
Challenges
I stood in front of them
The crowd was silent
I cleared my throat
But no words would come
I opened my mouth to speak
But all I heard was "Uhh..."
I closed my eyes
And thought the best
But the best was at weakness
I prayed to God for help
I opened my mouth
And out came my name.
Remembering
I stood there
Mesmerized by daylight
I closed my eyes
And took a deep breath
I thought back to the dream
I had when I was seven years old
It was flying
I stood there on the rooftop
My arms spread like wings
My eyes still closed
I began to flap
I fell
And fell
And I flew
I was a bird
With no wings
My dream when I was seven
Came true
Invisible
People around me
Asking me questions
Or just having a conversation
I stare at them
And not say a word
I think to myself
I have all the friends I need
Yet, I feel alone
I see them interact with me
But it's like I'm in a different world
They see me
But not the inside of me
They don't get it
And they never will
People around me
Talk to me
Yet I'm still
Invisible.
Love
She starred at her love
A smile upon her face
She looked deeply into his eyes
He looked deeply into her soul
He took a shallow breath
His ribcage broken
A gang had beat him
Even though his figure was horrid
She loved him
He lay there in the rain
His blood being washed away
She let a few tears drop
"Now is your time."
The girl whispered.
He shook his head
"I'll remember you."
She smiled
As the boy took his last breath
A Drop Of Ink
I sit here
A piece of paper
And a pen rest in front of me
I take deep breaths
What to write?
I have no idea
I sit there
And look out my window
I see cars and buses
Passing quickly by
I look again at my paper
And then look at my teacher
I sigh
And look at my paper
Pick up my pen
And write
Fourth of July
I sit on my driveway
And look at the sky
BOOM BOOM
Fills my ears with happiness
I get up
Grab a roman candle
Ignite it
And watch as beauty lights the sky
BOOM BOOM
I smile to myself
And look at my little brother
Playing with sparklers
Writing his name
In never ending light
I smile
And choose up a sparkler
I Light it
And with the bright glow
I write
Firework
Fears
I stare at it
It looks back
I close my eyes
And pray for help
I open my eyes
And the creature is still here
I give a sour face
But the creature goes about its life
I lift my foot
And stomp
The spider
Is dead and gone
Smile
I looked at the grass
The flowers in bloom
I stared at the stars
The constellations a plenty
I smiled at the moon
Not nearly as bright as the sun
I felt aura
It hit me like a bus
I smiled feeling power
I looked at my hands
My body glowing a silvery color
I smiled as I turn into a star
And went up to the heavens
Friends
First day of school
And I'm scared out of my wits
What if I'm the person know one likes?
I bit my lip, my body shaking
I walk through the building
My mom and dad
Holding a hand each
I walk into my classroom
Greet my teacher
And look at my peers faces
One person catches my eye
She has blonde hair like me
And green eyes like me
I smiled and sit right next to her
Her name is Dakota
I smile and tell her my name
Were inseparable
Until one day
She's gone
She moved
Without saying goodbye
I sit in my driveway
Waiting for her to come back
But does she?
No.
