Poets are those who love,--who feel great truths, And tell them.

Pushed Away

by Amanda

I miss walking with you down the hall
And how you were so caring
I miss the way you would help when I would fall
And how you were always so daring

I miss the way you would hug me
When you haven’t seen me in days
I miss our good times together
Why did you walk away?

Just answer my question
What did I do?
I thought we were good friends
Now I am stuck here missing you

When I shut my eyes
All I can see is your face
I bet you did not know
You would make me feel this way

But whatever I do
I cannot cry
Crying is just a point for you
At least in your eyes

I don’t know what I did
To make you act like this
And I am very sorry
For making you so pissed

I am sorry
For making you feel this way
I will always remember you
As the one who pushed me away

I'm Only So Strong

by Raven

As rain hits the roof
Teardrops fall from my eyes
In my mind are thoughts
Thoughts of sorrow, pain, and cries
I've been through alot
And still I tell these lies
I'm fine, I'm strong inside,
But no matter how hard I try
I don't belief myself
Maybe I'm lost,
Maybe I'm confused inside,
Or maybe I lost it all
Or maybe it just feels that way,
No happiness like it used to be
Since that day you went away
I'm strong, though... I think
But if that's so, why am I so weak
I can only be so strong
And I can only go on for so long

Dancing

by Stargirl

Dreams finally realised,
can’t believe it’s happening to me,
just want to get out there,
for everyone to see
Adrenalin rush as I take to the stage,
feeling finally free, broken out of my cage
No stopping me now,
I’m where I belong,
under the spotlight,
even if only for one song
Confidence rising higher and higher,
twirling out of control,
this is my desire
I stumble and fall,
wanting no one to see,
or shine like the star,
that is inside of me
Now its coming to an end, unfortunately,
with the ever nearing, ending curtsey
Glorious applause as I take my final pose,
everything good has to end,
that’s just how it goes.

You Are...Who?

by Chelsea

will you forget or
do you remember
did you love
or were you stuck on like
are you a king or just a joker
did you care or just want to stare
did I mean everything or nothing at all
did you want me or just to own me
were you yourself or somebody else
did you notice or just look twice
did you lie or make a fib
are you a cheater or just a player
are you a commiter or just a heartbreaker..
who are YOU?
and tell me HONESTLY who YOU are...

Dream a Little Dream

by Keely

I used to stand up on my two feet
Trying to picture what my life would be
Seeing all the memories pass before my eyes
Seeing all the good and bad in my life
Wondering what it’s telling me
If I should go after my dreams
Take a chance and leap towards everything
Take a risk for once in your life
Make a change for the better
Dream a little dream
And see what it will be
Don’t be scared to follow your dreams
cuz whereever they may lead you
your heart will tell you where to be

Dead

by Caitlin

Silence..void of all words
This unmistakable darkness that consumes me
People around me seem to hear everything
But not I, for I hear nothing....
So quiet are my days and long, too
I spend most of my time writing...
Though at times it can be rather boring.
Life should be full of sounds to hear
But not in my world, for it is dead to all noise
One day I wish to hear the birds sing
and the wind whistle through the trees...
I will tell you why I will never hear
These wondrous sounds ever again.
It's because...I'm dead
And have been for a very many centuries.
My name no one knows...
Invisible I am not to you, but everyone else.

Alone

by Anonymous

i am alone.
in the dark,
with no awareness of where we are.
tonight was supposed to be good,
supposed to be grand,
but insted you just slapped me,
with the palm of your hand.
i walked away,
with no fear.

to set aside
is only to forget
the things
that we really miss
our feelings are
each our own
but in isolation we feel alone.

Woods

by Anonymous

your eyes deep brown remind me of the woods of home were the tides flow and the trees moan your hair sways in the wind as the elms did but your heart shant be that cold as i say to the land i love you like the woods of home.

Why

by Anonymous

Why do people have to lie?
Why do people have to die?
Why do people feel pain?
Why do people have to steal?
Why do people have to kill?
Why do people live in fear?
Why do people run and hide?
Why do people control our lives?
Why do people break our hearts?
Why do people cry?
Why?

Memories of a Rape

by TeraLie

his fingertips brush her skin as she slowly fades away
fantasies of others never seem to leave, not stay.
the brushing of his hair against her elegant chest
as his lips touch her skin, nervous shivers never rest.
his fingers brush her breast as he slowly makes her numb,
as her legs shiver nervously, cheeks red for fun.
his fingertips never leave, her shivering never stops.
after pleasure she says stop, her tiredness takes over.
he seems to push harder as he rips away her lace.
he rapes away her happiness, as she screams "no and its not fun".
he yells oh so rudely, shut up and your dumb.
he calls her a slut, and she says let me be,
he yells, says she wants it, as she tries to get free.
he quickly strikes her face as she tries to get away,
this is why she remembers, why she remembers that day.
once it is all over her pain never stops,
her virginity he's taken, her virginity she lost.
the memories of a rape never seem to go away.

Grounded

by Scott

I am sitting in my room
Thinking of what to do
I remember that night
Going out of the house without a fright
It wasn't worth the trouble
And my punishment was double
I let peer pressure come in
And let it take with what was within

A Lie

by Brittni

I’m sorry I lied.
I’m sorry I lied about lying.
I’m always sorry and I’m sorry about that.
I don’t want anyone to hurt anyone,
Yet I want to hurt you.
Your crude remarks and actions only hurt me more.
The internal bleeding is left for me to feel
and you to see through my tears.
You do not see it.
You only continue to stab inhumanely with your words.
I’ll tell you the truth,
I’m sorry you are too oblivious to notice your failures,
You are better than that.
And once more,
That
Was
A lie.

My Best Friend

by Madeline

What happened to my best friend?
I can’t seem to figure it out
She seems like a different person
Don’t know what it’s all about
We used to be so close together
Nothing could tear us apart
She really was a part of me
Had a special place in my heart
We would wait for each other after class
Every single day
Hey best buddy, where ya been?
Is what she used to say
We would hate the mean preps
(Not all of them used to be)
Neither of us had big reps
Everyone would agree
The following year in 7th grade
She was still my best friend
But she wasn’t old Sam anymore
All that really did end
She lost the glasses,
Straightened her hair
And dressed different too
Prep was her style now
Who she was, I didn’t know who
Hollister, American eagle, Abercrombie and Fitch
I didnt have anything against all that
But she became such a bitch!
She made comments on my clothes and hair
I had a different style too
Not one so prepish
Not Goth or emo too
Our 8th period classes were far apart
I would wait for her after school
At the bottom of the stair case
Looking like a fool
I was so excided to talk to her
So when she got to the last stair
I said hey Sam, what’s up?
But she passed me as if I wasn’t there
She walked alone to the bus
No one by her side
As I walked with other friends
My feelings I would hide
She’s not always like this
But most of the times she is
Ditching me for other people
Other prepish kids
Although I had other friends
(At the moment better than she)
I felt like such an outcast
As if the problem was just me
But some times she acts like old Sam
Full of intelligence and light
But only would she do this
If no prep was in sight
I wonder if it’s all worth it
To still be her best friend
Maybe shell change her ways
And all will come to an end
I haven’t told her yet
Can’t think of a nice way to say
Last time I tried to tell her something
She ignored me all day
I really miss Samantha
It’s hard for her to see
But it’s not her I truly miss
It’s the person she used to be

Stereotype

by Jahmila

This poem is for all.
I want to shove people against the wall.
All they ever do is think about themselves
They don't think of anyone else.
People say just cause someone's a prep
Means that they never get depressed.
They say goths are total geeks,
Thy think they're bat head biting freaks
I'm sick of people!! THAT IS IT.
Please, please stop it! You make me sick.
Not all preps have no feelings,
not all goths are freaks.
Not all emos cut
and just cause because you like school
doesn't make you a geek.
No one cares.. Get out of each others hair.
Stop the sterotyping, stop now I say;
You're just hurting each other
and pushing people away!
Maybe people wouldn't be so sad,
Maybe they wouldn't be mean
If you would stop calling them names
And thinking that they're freaks.
Not all people act just the way you think.
Stop being jerks, just stop being mean!!!

Numb and Tired

by Stargirl

Now my emotions feel so old,
and I’m beginning to feel cold,
Unwanted and left here on the floor,
wondering why I still feel raw,
My time’s not up I don’t think so,
Only thing is I feel so low,
Broken in pieces like a jigsaw,
but now that I’ve changed
they don’t fit anymore,

Trials and tribulations conspiracy,
why is all of this happening to me,
It’s not new to me to feel alone,
seems whatever I do I’m on my own,
Remembering times when I was naïve,
It’s that feeling I want to retrieve,
Exhausted here shall I run away,
I wonder if I will one day,
Dangerous cuz I’m on the brink,
of giving up, what do you think?

Couldn't It Wait?

by Ashley

all of the words left unspoken
have left my heart broken

i wish it was all in my head
that you werent really dead

no one knows how i feel
this is all just so real

i sit by the phone
waiting to hear your tone

if i had a choice
all i want is to hear your voice

i want to see you smile
if only for a while

i wish we could talk
and go for a walk

while i cry
youre in the sky

youre smiling down
while i frown

if you sent me a letter
i would feel so much better

ill miss the stamping
and all the camping <3

i will never be the same
ill cry when i hear your name

this poem is for you
to show you its true

i know this was fate
but why couldnt it wait?

Eyes

by Anonymous

I look deep into your eyes.
And that is my mistake.
For if i look one more time.
My heart will surely break.
You know your power.
And that is fine.
Just know that when i made the move.
The choice was mine all mine.
I looked into your deep blue eyes.
And hoped you'de hold my gaze.
But alas you glanced away from me.
Since im not the one you crave.

Dear AniR

by Paul

Hey baby girl sorry to here what studs did in the past
Got your heart broken in half sitting in a fitted cast
I know you thought everything was ok, but in the end you got hurt
You thought he was the man to stick around, and wear matching shirts
Of course there’s a problem, but this one ended your life
When he told you its over, it felt like you were stabbed by a knife
I know your wondering how a stranger knows so much
Cuz I felt this vibe since the 1st time we touched
You get tummy aches by all the dead butterflies floating around
You’re more then a princess, you’re a queen waiting to be crowned
Most guys won’t tell you the truth, hide it behind your back
You don’t deserve someone that’s going to treat you wrong that’s a fact
I found out through everything a relationship is effort
You describe yourself as a dirty shirt
aniR it’s not your fault he missed out on a perfect girl
I’m not going to lie, the way you got me in a whirl
You make me smile just by the way you hug me close
My job would be to talk about you, brag, and boast
Shocked? I know baby girl give me a chance
Taking care of you forever in a slow dance
I know he’ll always be on your mind
It’s also time for new starts, so put him behind
ainR I never noticed I felt this way
But if you want someone real, call me someday.

I Lost It

by Morgan

I lost something
Looking for it
is making me insane
I want to cry
because I was forced
with independence
Im not really ready
to handle myself
I was forced
to hear everyone yell everyday
I got lost
and lies swallowed me whole
I lost something
I cant find it
Its divided now
and with malicious trust it keep us apart

Don't Belong

by Ami

Sometimes I feel as if I don’t belong
in the place I truly do belong.
Sometimes it feels as if my friends are sick of me
and don’t want me around.
It’s like they hate me,
and can’t accept who I am or the choices I make.
I know all of this is wrong,
but they don’t know me as well as they think.
I bruise easily, and it takes a while for them to fade.
No one understand this,
some say it’s because I won’t share.
I tried to share once, and it only hurt more.
So I find to hide works better.
Sometimes I even hide from myself,
but that’s when things really get bad,
I know how to deal with it all,
and that’s by myself!

Baby I Love You

by Ami

Baby I love you, don’t ever doubt that,
I just need time, time to find me
and time to figure myself out.
No matter what you believe, there was no other guy,
and it’s not because I don’t love you.
It’s because I need to worry about me,
I don’t mean to be selfish,
but sometimes it’s the only way to survive.
I want to be with you,
but really I can’t do it right now.
I am very sorry.
I love you and I hope you understand.

I Wish

by Ami

I don’t understand, why all this is happening
I don’t understand why I feel this way again.
I can’t stand it and I need to get out,
but I have nowhere to go.
I’m stuck here in this unreal town,
and these unreal people.
I hate always feeling like I don’t belong.
I hate that I can’t just be happy,
I hate that people don’t understand me,
I hate that I don’t understand me.
I hate that I let my friends control my life
and yet I feel I need them so much.
I have secluded myself
into this world that I can no longer stand,
but I have no choice but to stay
until it all comes crashing down,
at least then I will be happy!
Maybe someday my life will be my own again.

She Thought She Knew

by Olivia

she thought she knew
but really she was the one who was confused
in my 411 and thought she had the news
but really she was the one being used
what comes around goes around
because shes the one being abused
constantly telling her to stop but still she refused
stubborn people always think theyre winners
but at the end they always lose
while they are the ones who look like fools
we're the ones they chose not to choose
if you start acting like you, maybe love will come to you!

Only a Bag and a Broken Heart

by Rebecca

She stood there at the cliff's edge,
Counting waves crashing against the shore,
She did not want to witness this world,
Not for her now, not anymore.

She looked out at the ocean blue,
As if into a lovers eyes,
We were all born just like the sun,
To set and so to rise.

As blue now as the sky before,
It opened the world like a glistening door,
Waiting for the time to pass,
Leaving her unsure.

She tried so hard to remember,
Golden hair,
In sweet September,
As she lay in her mothers loving arms.

That was before,
Before it all fell apart,
She has nothing now to save her here,
Just a bag and a broken heart.

She walked once more,
To the cliffs close edge,
The ocean floor,
Ever closer now.....

Always the Same!

by Ami

It seems my poems never change.
They all say the same thing.
About how some guy broke my heart
and how I am stuck between love and lust.
The same thing is written over and over again.
I am always confused and always depressed,
I am always hurt and always strong.
I don’t even care,
I cant even write I am so stressed out
and all I want to do is cry,
I want to isolate myself in my room and never come out,
but I know that isn’t an option.
What am I to do when nothing seems right?
What I am to do when the evil repeat never gets better,
no matter how hard I try,
no matter what I do, it never gets better.
I could sit around and waste away and nothing changes.
I could fall so far I almost die and nothing changes,
I could get up and try and nothing changes.
I could get up and succeed and still nothing changes.

Secret Crush

by Tyesha

When i first saw you i knew you were the one for me,
only problem was we never got a chance to meet.
I'd see you and my heart would beat faster,
you would say hi sometimes and i'd reply with laughter.
We never really met though i felt a vibe between us,
we'd look at each other with hearts in our eyes; it must be lust.
I'd start to daydream about how it would be,
if only you knew i liked you and if you liked me.
I'd snap out of my daydream and there you were again,
i got up my courage to speak and made a new friend.
Although i wanted more for the moment, i was pleased with this,
I would daydream all the time about how it would be when we first kissed.
I'd snap out of my daydream and quickly restore myself,
'cause for two whole minutes it was us and no one else.
i started to like you more
and although i didn't think you felt the same way,
i felt a vibe between us ever since the first day.
The first day i saw you i liked you instantly,
only problem was i was unsure if you liked me.
But one thing i hope will never change
is that we could always be friends,
or at least until i restore myself and find courage once again.
Courage to tell you how i feel and hope you feel the same way,
but until that day comes FRIENDS IS WHAT WE'LL STAY

"Love Is Nothing But Pain"

by Tyesha

How could you hurt me
I was so young.
I did a lot of bad things in my life,
but nothing worse than what you have done.
I don't understand; I was so young
I deserved to get punished at times,
but not like this one.
You hurt me and raped me,
then walked and acted as if nothing happened
you abused me and now every time I look at a man
my mind start collapsing.
I was so young but you didn’t care
you told me you loved me, then forced me up the stairs.
You said just relax, soon it would end
I begged you to stop
and you replied with a grin.
You were my mother's man, not mine
how could you be so sick to rape a child.
You said if I ever told you'd kill me
and then you turned around and said you loved me.
You said love is nothing but pain
so get used to it cause it's all the same.
I was only 10 and you took my life from me
and as if it wasn't bad enough,
when I tried to tell the only person I thought
I could trust, they thought it was funny.
They thought I was making it up
and didn't believe anything I said
I was so messed up in the head
I couldn't go anywhere near another bed.
My mother would ask me what was wrong
and I couldn't tell her
because I thought she would think I was lying
so instead I went to bed every night crying.
I thought God hated me
because of something I had done
and that’s because Richard told me I was bad
and deserved to be punished
he said God didn't love me
because I never liked to have fun
that’s when he told me God loves no one.
You put me through this pain
from when I was 5 till I was 10
and now it'll never happen again
because I have learned that God does love me
even though my pain I thought he couldn't see
he helped me and now I'm with him again
where I will never get hurt by another man.
The pain I went through built up inside
till my secret I could no longer hide.
I told my mother what was going on
and like I suspected she didn't believe me
or at least not until that Saturday
when she didn't see me.
He had found out I snitched
so he raped me once more
and through my body in a ditch.
My mother saw me on the news
and all she could do was cry
she asked herself over and over
why I didn’t believe that lie.
But the good news is Richard is in jail
and my mother says he's going to burn
for an eternity in hell.
And as for me I'm in a better place
were no one could hurt me
because I’m protected by God's grace.

I Love Him

by Ami

I love him so much,
I know some may never understand why,
But that’s okay;
it’s not them who love him.
He makes me happy,
I know he hurt me before,
But things are different now.
He loves me and he knows he wants to be with me.
We are perfect for each other and we know it!

I can’t wait until I can call
that beautiful man my husband!
I can’t wait to have his kids,
I can’t wait to raise a family with him!

Things will be great!
We’ll take it slow in the beginning,
And we’ll be together when we’re old.
No one may understand this,
But I do.

I'm the Girl

by Amber

im the one you NEVER see on tv
im the girl who is always singing
i scream
i shout
i am without a doubt
the craziest girl about
but i hurt
and i cry
and most of the time,
im awfully shy.
i hate what you think you see.
i hate how i never seem to be me.
i hate my past
im scared of my so called future
but im content with the now
i look down with fear
because every time youre near
i realize the awful truth
you have me in this hold
and no matter what i do or say
you can be the one to make me or break me
and i cant stand that
no one should have that power over me
yet i melt everytime you say those three words
ive longed for so long to hear
so i turn to friends
but i turn in vain
for they see what i see
a perfect image
but alas it is an image for disaster
for fairy tales dont exist
and im doomed for a heartbreak that is fatal
but i dont know what else to do
so i sit and i wait
and i fall deeper into this hole
maybe its meant to be
maybe we can be happy
