I wrote these for my 8th grade poem unit. I was depressed during this time which is why they're all kind of similar sweatdrop

Anger

Anger is red like pouring blood. It sounds like people screaming their hearts out. Anger looks like my burning heart. It feels like violence all around the world. Anger smells like something burning. It runs through my veins like air through my brain. (the last part got some laughs biggrin )

A Break Up

You whispered harshly, "You're nothing without me. You'll be miserable like I was when my dad died."

I screamed back with fury, "Take your lies and drown in them," as I ran home crying.

As the days passed, my sobbing turned into bawling. My emotions were let out until I took a stand and shouted proudly, "Sad I shall be no more!"

When I saw the light of day, nothing was ever the same.

Inside These Tears

Inside these tears
are feelings we can't say
unspoken
unsaid
they're falling
making your sight blurry
trying to stay back
but helpless
running down as fast as a waterfall
they won't go away
each tear that falls
has little pieces of salt
you can't see them but you can taste them
you never know when they'll appear
you never know when they'll leave
it's hard to say what tears feel
but they know what you feel
tears are different shapes
and come in many sizes
no matter what you look like
no matter who you are
there will always be tears
inside you
to guide you
when you know
that you will
need them

When Darkness Falls

You know my heart is true and that I can never lie to you. I'm an idiot walking on a tight rope of love for you. I'm weak without you. You have to look to what's up ahead and leave what's left behind. I know it's hard. You can run from all your worries but you can never hide from the shadow that's creeping up behind you. I'm always watching over you so you won't have to worry. I've kept these feelings inside and if I ask you not to cry, don't cry because I'll wait for you forever.

Sadness

Sadness is what no one wants to be. It tastes like salty tears pouring down your cheeks. Sadness looks like a rainy day. It sounds like crying yourself to sleep. Sadness is blue like an ocean of tears. It's the most lonely feeling in the world.

I wrote these in study hall my freshman year because I had nothing better to do xd

Not in the End

You told me you loved me and I believed every word.
I shouldn't of believed the lies that you told.
Now I'm standing here, crying in the dark.
Looking out the window, trying to forget.
It was all a joke, planned ahead.
I wish I had stayed away from that trap.
I've fallen deeper into your lies by the way you looked into my eyes.
It's driving me crazy, being around you.
I can't control myself, I want to go after you.
I'm stopping myself, that's not the person I am.
It's not who I want to be, not in the end.

Darkness

What would you do if you were in a pitch black room?
No one around to hear as you scream.
Would you cry?
Would you kick the door?
Or would you be happy and thankful you're there?
I would think about my friends and family.
How my life is, how I wish it would be.
I would daydream
About having everything I've always wanted, or how I would get it.
I would plan
How to become famous, how to meet my heroes, how to spend my fortune.
But it wouldn't matter,
The only thing I'll ever see is the darkness of this room because this is where I'll always be.

Rain

I like walking in the rain, it hides my pain.
No one can tell I'm crying.
No one can call me insane.
I can walk for miles, all alone.
No one next to me, no one around.
The rain calms me.
It feels my sadness.
The rain lets me cry, without leaving my side.
One day, I'll be rain.
I'll be the one that helps someone.
I'll be there for them, whether they know it or feel it.
I'll stick around until they stop crying.
I won't let them down.
