I have Three Poems I'd like to post that I wrote. I was brushing my teeth and on the verge of going to bed, but then I got an idea and ran to my computer to type them. Enjoy heart
The Divorced Life
The yelling the screaming the fights
They go on each night.
I can’t breathe I can’t see
But these tears that hide my fears.
‘They’ll be together forever I say’
I wish it could really happen.
But it doesn’t
For fourteen long years I’ve known that
I’ve had to premature
And had to grow up
I couldn’t be a little five year old
I had to toughen up.
I lost many friends along the way
But the tears were not allowed.
I was the odd one out in all my schools
But I was never in the “in crowd”
And still it continues though they’re lives don’t meet
And still I live in fear
The yelling the screaming everything
Is still ringing in my ears
The neglecting of a child
Who’s only fewer than ten
She can’t take care of herself
She doesn’t know when.
So now I suffer with issues
Greater than I should have
I yell I scream I fight
For all the pain I couldn’t say
Now I need to know that people care
The neglecting can’t happen for her
She need’s to have someone notice her there.
So I’ve grown up,
I gotten tougher skin
But there’s one thing you need to know
Is that I‘ll never let you in.
Issues
I have a lot of issues
Most certain don’t involve tissues.
I don’t have an eating disorder or anything like that
I try not to judge my appearance as skinny or fat.
But I am a very violent child
And when I’m hyper I get kind of wild.
I have a high temper something you don’t want to mess with
Although it helps if you’re my friend for at times I’ll try to protect you with this.
I’m trying to stop the anger madness
I really don’t know if I’ll be successful at this.
Maybe someday I’ll find someone like me
But I truly don’t think that can be.
A person who goes from flaming mad to utterly depressed
I guess it’d be a miracle to find someone with this.
Although when I happy I have a nice humor
It’s certainly better than having a brain tumor.
Although at times I wish I was in a coma so I could sleep forever
And at times I think that no one will care, not now or ever.
So as you stare and wonder about this girl
With blonde straight hair, not a single curl.
With hazil eyes that sometimes go green
And a creative mind if you know what I mean.
So as you stare and wonder at me
You’ll never know if I’ll truly be
Happy.
Rebound Girl
Rejection, rejection
Oh what could it be?
She doesn’t like you
So you go for me.
I feel real special
I feel real great
I feel like I am
An amazing date.
But it turns out
She does like you
My poor little heart
Has been torn in two.
I hope I wish
To ease the sorrow
I hate the awful though
Of tomorrow.
