Another Poem :)

I haven't been on in a long time so I decided to get on and put something on :) This is a poem I wrote awhile ago about someone I know who was going through a hard time... but I changed the name just for certain purposes...

Katie's Poem
(a story of beauty)

Sometimes life gets us down,

makes us sad makes us frown.

Keep your chin up, keep a smile on your face.

Take your time life isn’t a race.

It’s not meant to go so fast,

memories and friends make them last.

Don’t settle or sell yourself short,

because you deserve so much more.

Worth far more then a diamond ring,

worth the right, worth everything.

Although you look your eyes are closed,

blind to what the mirror shows.

You’re beautiful the way you are

The way you shine makes you a star

The glow for within shows through,

of happiness love and all things true.

Caring, friendly, funny, and sweet,

a person people want to meet.

How you look what brands you wear,

it doesn’t matter I don’t care.

It’s not worth it to change yourself,

when its for somebody else.

You’re unique that’s why you’re cool,

all this makes you beautiful.

You probably can’t tell right now,

you will someday, I’ll tell you how.

Look for the positive and the good,

have faith in yourself just like you should.

Although it may seem worse and worse,

it’s only one trial on your course.

The strength you have will be the key,

too make it through just wait and see.

Keep on fighting push your way,

It will be a lot better someday.

So don’t give up, don’t give in

because in the end you will win

Happy and positive you’ll go far,

you’ll be the girl I know you are.

This is all I have to say,

you might not believe it anyway.

Deep down inside just know it’s true,

and I will always be here for you.

I hope you realize, I hope you know,

you will never be alone.

All in a minute
(a teen story)

I walk down the hall and see your face,
automatically my heart starts to race.
My body goes into overload and I don't know what to do,
everything goes out the window, I no longer know what I thought I knew.
I can't think yet I used to be smart.
My stomach flips and the butterflies start.
My senses work faster though,
I take it all in as I go.
Do I look at you and take a chance?
Or should I just skip the small glance?
If I look at your eyes I'll get weak in the knees
What has this boy done to me?
Does he even know my name?
Does he look at me the same?
Does he like me just as much?
Or is this all a stupid crush...
I'm young and it shouldn't be this way,
but it is something I just can't change.
It's subconscious beyond my control
I wish I could bury it all in a hole.
I know I am falling way to fast
without a safe landing in my grasp.
And even though it's my heart he's stealing,
I don't mind the roller coaster feeling.
I smile when I think of it
and I don't want to stop but I need to quit.
You have me smiling all day long,
almost like my own little song.
I want to sing all the time.
I just can't get you off my mind.
Nothing can match or come above
this feeling I have, could it be love?

A new poem I wrote.

This poem is really different from the rest of mine but I really like it. Also this particular poem is told from a young boy's point of view.

Playing Pretend
(A child's story)

My journey on a pirate ship was great.
Everyone said words like "argh" and "Hey mate!"
I was supposed to mop the decks
and also spot all the shipwrecks.
There it is the buried treasure!
Gold coins, jewels, things beyond measure.
As I dreamed,
I heard them scream.
Oh no! Watch out!
I heard them shout.
The captain was coming and I had better watch out.
With his long beard and leg made of wood.
I had to be sure I was doing what I should.
He was mean and ruthless,
he also was a bit toothless.
Thats how things are on the open sea,
no problems, no cares, your worry free!
People dirty everywhere
and only one bathroom for us to share.
You don't have to brush the pearly whites,
you spit and yell and get in fights.
No one makes you brush your hair
or take a bath, no one cares.
Some people might think ewww,
but I loved it with the crew.
No land or girls in sight.
So for me it was the perfect life.
Until my mom came out and said,
"Honey, you need to go to bed!"
I had to leave I had to go,
but someday I would come back I know...

(By the way almost all my titles have a subtitle, I like to put it because it tells what the poem is about or what it relates to.)

Welcome

I started this blog because my friend gave me the idea and I want someone to read my words that I write. I love writing poems. So I will post them at different times or when I come up with a new one. I hope whoever reads this will like them just as much as I do. Anyone who wants to is also welcome to post their own poems. I would LOVE to read them!
