School History
After the day is Done
Why?!?
When times are hard
Running
Where There's A Journey There's Never An End
One day I was walking to school
I'm in love with him.
I only saw those blue eyes.
Under The Rainbow
Suzy likes Jim, but Jim likes Kym
The One You Love
I am 13 and you are 17
Your eyes
Don't mess with me
Spring
I feel the breeze through my hair
My perfect guy
Could It be?
All my life
Subjects
I'm in a wall between good and bad
I Love You!
Love at First Sight
Silver bracelet
Friendship
The pillowed words from her
once there was an old baby named bob.
All the pain inside has risen
I am sitting here
No More How It Used to Be
GIRLS SAY THEY LIKE ME
DO
Is it spring or winter??
I thought you were da one for me
Over
See I'm a Puerto Rican chick
I love a boy who will never love me
Today I stare into your eyes and I see myself
When I look at you I shiver
I Finally Learned
Love
you told me once you told me twice
Angels
Walking Down the Street
Do You Really Love Me?
Love at First sight
Un-named
With You...
Tell Everyone not to Grieve
There's Something About You
Love
Why
Why....
I want..
I know
Hiding
Thank You Mum!
Sexy Blue Eyes
Rain
You told me you loved me
Love
Family of Snowmen
The Heart of the Innocent
If You Were Me
Lips
Girls are like apples on trees
Neglected
What Is?
When I first saw you I knew it was love
You were there, now you are gone
My Heart
She was perfect
The guy I love
Rumors
My family is not a rally
Poem of friendship
We will rise
Wind from the East
Friends
My Voice Shone Through The Rain?
My Sweet.
I Thought We Were Dreaming?
The best of friends
She is so Perfect
Every Tear Falling Out of My Eyes
Passion for Fashion
Hidden
I Love You
Gone in the Dark.
Impression
In my Eyes
Courage
You may run away from fear
I love someone special
Have you Ever.
"Holla"
Everyday I dream about you
My friends are close
I may not be able to see it
Second
What do you do...
I wish
I Love money
I look at you every day
Life & Death
Love always
Why
You said you loved me
~Matt~
What should I say?
You always got the better of me
As the shots rang out
People go all around
Friends
Mistakes~
Love is...
In the hall you give me looks
Why

Ghost
My
"I'm not jealous!"
I said I was sorry
Roses are red
Happy plastic people
I wish I were that girl
Cobble Steps
I won't blame you now
Feeling so Strange
A simple thanks, will it do?
Every time I'm happy?
Where I Want To Be
ME
There's this guy
You are my guardian angel
Sitting in My Room Alone
You said "I love you"
Now look at me
Wasn't Anything
Shy
The Perfect Guy
He loves her, but he doesn't.
I want someone who is nice and sweet, I want someone
I lay here today
I'm in the dark
Here I am
Why
Spring, Spring
I wonder
Hurt
You Hugged Me Every Day
He is me
A heart is not a plaything
The Sky is Setting Me Free.
A Friendship Fallen
Don't Walk Away
You don't know how I feel about you.
I see how far I've fallen
Why is...
Look in the Mirror
The sun has shone for many years past
Lex, oh Lex, you left me hangn' after school.
You look into my eyes and say you love me.
When I saw you, my soul fainted
Love is thy Desire
The only wrong thing
A heart is broken
When you realise you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody
Girls & Boys
Chains
If I had a choice to turn back time
Just don't forget
The smile in your eyes
You Are My Hero
Time is near, life is short, the world is small
Seasons
Kidding Myself
I Used To Think That I Was Fine Enough
Lost.....
In a World
Those Eyes
A dream
Why did you have to leave us?
Love is like life
Take me or Leave me!
I told you I loved you
I
Never Goodbye
What Happened
In the little meadow
Love is what makes my day
Tsunami Horror
If there is a web of lies
I am a girl
Have You Ever
In a day of rain
Does He
East or West
Okay I Know That You Have A Girlfriend
Why I love You
Complete
She's with him now
I was young
I wanna make it happen
It's Your Time
Do you love me for who I am?
I'm Down for Whatever
Untitled
Some friends
I'm a Gangster
I love you my boo, but I'm cheating on you.
Someday You'll Cry for Me
More Lies
I'm Queen so Don't Mess with me
On the shining night
I love you
Salad Fingers, Salad Fingers.
Though rough times may lie ahead
Never Die Alone
People come and go in life
Sun, Sand, Sea.
Dear reader
The Boy I Once Loved
I said I loved you......
I love you!!!
You said you loved me
To who really cares

From the moment
Your eyes are blue
There is a boy I like at school
Dad
I can't take no more
Disappear
Who do you think I am
I moved on

You broke my heart in two
Te amo
Your touch

School History

School History

School is cool
But not for a fool
That doesn't follow rules.
School can be fun like being in the sun
Or like when you run.
You try to read, you try to write
Until you get it right.
When you reach 6th grade
It can be really great
But it also can be hard.
When you reach 8th grade
You graduate from elementary school
Then you go to high school.
After that you go to college to prepare you for what you want to be.
Teachers there can be really strict and mean.
But all of it is worth it if you want to succeed!

After the day is Done

After the day is done,
All the games and sports have been won.
Schoolwork and homework have been packed up for the day.
Everyone's done with the running and play.
The TV is off. All the books are closed.
The sun has gone down.
All the pictures have been posed.
Almost everything is silent. Almost all the lights are off. Except for the streets where the cars go and stop.
It is then that one soul creeps out of bed.
I go to the window and lay down my head.
Staring out at the bright starry night.
It is a truly remarkable sight.
I see the full moon and hear the rustling of the trees from the breeze.
What would people do to always see sights like these? The dark trees silouhetted across the pale blue sky. Every once in a while a bird goes by. Waiting all day just to see this and to feel the cool breeze in my hair like this, is absolutely worth while, worth the wait in every way.

Why?!?

Why! Why did you treat me like this? I am so ashamed what did I ever do to you? Was I a free ride? Are you really feeling me? Do you want me? Was I just there at that time? Is it because I am 13 and you are 17? Do you know me!? Do you want to know me, why are you trying to pass me around am I a hoe? Tell me please please please!

DAJAHNEA, 13

When times are hard

When times are hard and there's nowhere to go
I give you my hand,
When you feel like giving up
I give you my hand,
When you feel like hope is gone
I give you my hand,
When you need someone to love I give you my hand
I give you my hand I give you my hand
When you need a hug I give you my hand.
I will be there for you until the end.

Running

Running

That one night when you were on top of me
I felt special as can be
You said I love you, but they were just words
I gave you my everything
And you just took it like nothing
And now I'm alone in this room
Still think like it was yesterday
But really I was 8 years old
Dark, cold and scared
Man, what was I thinking?

Where There's A Journey There's Never An End

Where There's A Journey There's Never An End

The wind began to howl
That night was filled with thunder and showers
The loneliness of her nightmare dream
Slowing keeping her from moving forward

The branches outside swung to and fro
Into the darkness causing shadows
Like ghosts and ghouls not disappearing their act
From the graveside

Her nightmare dream was of her flying to a mysterious place
That was unfamiliar and strange
So how was she flying, could she die from flying?
But then she awoke from her dream

To the sound of birds singing
And the sunshine shining through
Her mum had sat by her on her bed
Slowly stroking her hair and she smiled,

Everything is going to be fine,
There's a good new journey ahead
You make your journey how you want it
Dream big because it will never end.

One day I was walking to school

One day I was walking to school and I had a lot of books in my hand. So when I walked out I saw Christian coming out of his house. He lives three houses away from me so when I was walking all my books fell all over the floor but I thought that I had picked up all the books. I was so embarrassed that I just left really fast. Then Christian, the hottest boy, and his hot cousin Eddie came up to me and asked me if the math book was mine and I said yes. Then they both asked me at the same time if I wanted to go out with them. I didn't know who to pick so I just picked Christian because he was hotter. But anyways I went out with Eddie about two months after that. They walked me to and back from school everyday. When they would walk me home Eddie would give me a kiss on the cheek and Christian would give me a kiss on the lips. So just because of my books I had the two hottest boys in the whole world liking me...

I'm in love with him.

I'm in love with him. I love his scent even when he is full of lent. I love his smile it takes me that extra mile that I need to go. And we all know I love him. No his name is not Tim, it is Shawn and I am in love with him from dusk till dawn.

kiara, 13

I only saw those blue eyes.

I only saw those blue eyes. I couldn't see the rain. You were just so sweet. I didn't play the game. Soon I would hear rumors. Soon I would see the clouds move away! You were just another guy. But first I didn't see the black sky. You were a player, but I beat you to the chase! I broke up with you... Now you feel the pain. And I will dry those tears, of the girls you pained. And I will make you see that I won the game!!!

Under The Rainbow

Under The Rainbow

The tears stop falling
The cuts stop hurting
The friends stop fighting
The love starts growing
The hearts beat hard
The wind stops
The sun hides
The clouds go away
The sky is clear
Nothing is near
No one is there
Colors shine like broken glass across the blue
In an arched doorway
Opening itself up for you
You walk through
You enter a realm like no other
Where fairies live and you can smell the dragon's breath
Where the Fairy Godmothers cast wishes
And pumpkins turn into gleaming carriages
Where little people dressed in green skip about
Where there is no hate
And there is no sadness
All under the rainbow waiting for you

Suzy likes Jim, but Jim likes Kym

Suzy likes Jim, but Jim likes Kym
Kym likes Trey, but Trey likes Ken
Ken likes Hill, but Hill like Phill
Phill like Jessy, but Jessy likes Dill
Dill likes Penny, but Penny likes Ronny
When will anyone ever like me?

The One You Love

The One You Love

Why is it that when a guy comes along someone prettier gets them? You're left in the dust alone with no one to hold, no one to comfort you. He talks to you but not the way he talks to her. He looks at you as though you're not even real, but when he looks at her she's all he can see. You try to convince yourself that you hate him, but it just doesn't work. I sometimes think that maybe it wasn't meant to be. Or maybe, just maybe you might end up together. Sometimes you just got to let go. But when you really think you love someone it's hard to. He might not think the same way about you, but that never stops you. One look into his eyes and you know it was meant to be.

Passionate Poet, 13

I am 13 and you are 17

I am 13 and you are 17. What do you see in me? What do I see in you? Is it just one thing? Is it? Is it that you're bad, you're cool, you're older or is it your personality? What could it be? I am so curious and confused. Tell me, tell me!!! Why am I scared? Do I know why I am scared? Tell me please! Do you like me or am I just for benefits? Why do you call me only on the day you come over? Why am I so confused?

DAJAHNEA, 13

Your eyes

Your eyes
Your eyes caught the attention
The attention of a person.
The type of person who looks on the inside,
And not just the out.
And when that person talked to you
They realized how sweet you are
That person would be me.
And I like you for who you are.

Don't mess with me

Don't mess with me
I am pretty
I am smart
A fight you don't wanna start
I got sass
And pizzazz
Don't you see
You might wanna be friends with me

Spring

Spring

The fresh warm air
And whistling breeze
Baby animals and lambs being born
Out into Spring
It's a time when Winter disappears
For awhile and we don't have to wear
Our big fat coats but just thin jackets
The sun sets everyday
And the stars sparkling brightly
It's a time that I can look forward to my birthday

Katie, 16

I feel the breeze through my hair

I feel the breeze through my hair,
Love is in the air,
Happy and Sweet,
I just listen to the beat,
Of his heart,
First it thumps slowly,
But then it beats faster,
It is a hot summer day,
In May,
We just look at the clouds,
Without a care in the world,
Except for each other,
He loves me,
And I love him,
I don't want this summer to end,
But I know that it will end,
In a couple of months,
We will say good-bye,
Without a care in the world,
Because we are with each other.

My perfect guy

My perfect guy

Your face reminds me of that day
When you stole my heart away
It was Monday, the first time I saw you
Everything was changed

I'll never forget you in my whole life
You're my perfect guy
That I'll never find
You're the kind of guy
I've been waiting for all my life

Watching you every day in a year
Isn't enough
Because it's like a flip of a page
If I can hear you singing a million miles away
Then that'll fill my heart for the whole day

I thought of writing a letter to you
Just trying to explain
But couldn't find the words to say
'Cause you're so far away

pwincess_amz, 14

Could It be?

Could It be?

I felt anger and sadness,
relief and rejoice.
None can make up to
the sound of your voice.
Could it be,
that I'm no longer mad?
For the pain and suffering,
you never had?
And could it be,
that I've forgiven you?
That I can move on,
with my heart on hand too?
I don't know how it happened,
but I can't hold this grudge.
Is that pathetic? Is it great?
That I can't be the judge?
The judge of my life?
That spindles through and out,
Watching and stopping the blood spilling knife?
So, could it be,
that the world won't slow down,
to pick me up hitch-hiking,
along life's long road?
Crying at drivers, that just don't see,
the poor girl that's crying,
deep inside of me?
Could it be,
that it isn't their fault?
That it's I who is blind?
Who just can't see the invisible?
Could it be,
That one day they'll notice,
just so I can be burned,
hurt and kicked and dissed.
And could it be,
that I have it good.
That I have a family.
That I have a life.
That I have steady money.
One friend that loves me.
Could it be,
that it's all in my head.
Every drop of misery,
all of it dead.
So even though the judge,
may not be me.
I can still live on.
Most possibly happily.

All my life

All my life I've been stumbling in circles till you came along and every thing is all right. When you smile at me you make me stop and think will I ever be with you. You make my heart sing and my spirit fly. You're everything I've always wanted. You're more beautiful than a wild horse galloping across the grassy plains. So know that I've come to this special place and everything is alright. I love you with all my heart. For always and forever, and that's a fact. So the only thing you have to do to be with me is to find the key to my heart.

Subjects

I hate social studies because the teacher picks our buddies. I hate math because when I take a test it has the last laugh. I have no knowledge so I won't go to college. People tell me I'm not smart but at least I'm good in language arts. As far as you know I'm failing in spelling.

I'm in a wall between good and bad

I am in a wall between good and bad.
Good stays together and bad stays together.
I don't know were to go good or bad.
I guess I'll stay in the middle not good or bad.

I Love You!

I Love You!

I never really knew you,
You were just another friend.
But when I got to know you,
I let my heart unbend.

I couldn't help past memories
That would only make me cry.
I had to forget my first love
And give love another try.

So I've fallen in love with you
And I'll never let you go.
I love you more than anyone
I just had to let you know.

If you ever wonder why
I don't know what I'll say,
But I'll never stop loving you
Each and every day.
My feelings for you will never change,
Just know my feelings are true and remember one thing.
I Love You!

Love at First Sight

Love at First Sight

I saw him
Walking down the hallway.
Love at first sight.

I sat next to him
In class.
My heart jumped.
Love at first sight.

We became friends;
Known throughout the school
To be as close as ever possible
Love at first sight.

But then you told me
How you felt.
I didn't answer you;
I walked away.
Love at first sight.

Here is my answer,
I will love you always.
Hold me, kiss me.
Love at first sight.

Silver bracelet

Silver bracelet

She left
And her last words were,
"Be happy, we will meet again.
When do you want me read this book?"
And then she went.

I read the book,
It was her Journal
Full of funny memories.

And a mystery of a
Silver bracelet.

I looked around
Her house.
The house
Was not there.

I looked into
My heart,
And there
I found it.

The memory of a
Silver bracelet.
Her,
Gone forever.

Monica, 12

Friendship

Friendship

Friendship is something that is tight like a knot.
Talking about someone behind there back is what friendship is not.
Friendship is saying hello or how you are you doing.
Friendship is not shoving and pushing.
Friendship has friends running over a rainbow.
Friendship is not when people get you down and low.
No matter boy or girl,
Friendship is important all around the world.

Tresavoya, 11

The pillowed words from her

The pillowed words from her
Mouth
Hit like knives.
I know.
The class knows.
The world knows.
And I am cut to the bone?
To the soul?
The rain hits the ground
Like knives in her eyes
Which hide under the ring of
Fish-eyed glassiness.

Innocence.
Tears to hit the ground
Hide in my deep brown
Eyes.
The color of hurt.
The color of sadness.
Showing through my
Eyes.
My soul cries,
My eyes don't.
The rain is crying for me.

The rain has stopped.
Winter rain,
Cold rain
Rain from my eyes.
Tears upon the ground.
Tears the sky shed
For me.
I see the eyes.
The fish-eyes,
The glassy eyes,
The knife-eyes.

But look,
The rain has stopped
But it falls in
Those eyes.
My eyes,
Bright with tears,
That fell in rain.

My eyes.
The hurt eyes.
The sad eyes.
The brown eyes.
My eyes shine
But they have tears.

But look,
The tears are falling.
Raining.
The rain is not cold
In those eyes.
My eyes.

Look.
It is raining.
Spring rain,
Summer rain,
Warm rain,
Forgiving rain
Falls in
My eyes.
Brown eyes.
The color of my tears on the ground.
Warm brown.
Against the grass.
Green grass.
Green like the
Fish eyes.

once there was an old baby named bob.

Once there was an old baby named bob.
He used a fork to eat soup
and used a fork to eat corn on the cob.
He wore his shirt on his legs and underwear on his head,
and he did the hokey pokey when it was time to go to bed.
But as the sun arose with glowing sunbeams, he stood in his bathroom and cooked his fried ice cream.

myesha, 11

All the pain inside has risen

All the pain inside has risen
to find another place to hide inside of you
and it makes me want to cry.
All that was cherished and all the happiness has vanished.
All the love you had for that someone is gone.
That person is always in your heart to keep for a later future.
We will always have love for that special someone.

In Memory of Greg

I am sitting here

I am sitting here
with a frozen smile
though you're my dear
I haven't talked to you in awhile
I know it's my fear
but it's supposed to be
like this and it will never be the same
like it was
when we were friends
and you laughed
and I smiled
and I could secretly love you
from here
my dear

No More How It Used to Be

No More How It Used to Be:

It used to be that I'd always be tired,
I'd lie in bed and cry.
I never thought about the good,
Because I didn't want to try.
But something has just come over me,
I don't know what it is, but I feel so good.
I know that I have friends and people who care,
And I act how I know I should.
I've never felt so energized in all my life
I can't believe how happy I am.
I see all my traits as beautiful,
And I don't care if I see him again.
I know my life is going great, I'm glad as can be
And I really mean it when I say:
No more how it used to be!

GIRLS SAY THEY LIKE ME

Girls say they like me
Then they don't like me
My name little Q

To act cool, if you want to do something
Then its going to be, don't mess with me cause my name is queen Q!!!

QUA, 11

DO

DO

The sky burns.

Its blood red.

The ocean cries.

Its tears are coming at full force.

The turtles fly.

Going to a place no one knows.

The imagination grows.

The love blooms.

The hate looms.

The keys tap on the keyboard.

Everything stops.

Times holding itself for her.

What does she do?

She lets the love bloom.

She lets the hate loom.

She lets the turtles fly.

She lets the ocean cry.

She lets the sky bleed.

She lets her imagination lead.

She lets the keys tap.

I thought you were da one for me

I thought you were da one for me
A dream when I wasn't sleepin
A wish upon a star dat's comin true
But everybody knows dat
I confuse my feelings with the truth
Why didn't you just tell me
Why did you have to go and lie
I may not have showed you, but you
Hurt me. You hurt me really bad.
You cheated on me and now I'm sad.
I know you may not even care, but deep down inside I know the person who I thought was there.
Da person I thought was there was you but after you changed I don't see you as you.

Over

I know we're over, but see there's something I forgot to tell
I still have feelings
I know you see me with other boys, but there's nothing there
After you told me you don't think about me
I thought I could move on
But really I can't
See I still love you
I know I never told you, but the truth is I do
I really do love you
I wish I had the nerve 2 tell you this but really I can't
I want 2 so bad, don't get me wrong, but I'm afraid of what will go wrong.

See I'm a Puerto Rican chick

Ever since I came to this school
Girls been given me that face like they rule
But see these b****** don't even know me
But they be haten on me

See looking at someone right in the eye

See I want these b****** to know I respect them
But if they disrespect me
Well I guess I'm going to have to get mean
Alright I know I'm calling them b****** but see
It's because they talk about me
But see they can't say it to my face and that's why I call them B******

I love a boy who will never love me

I love a boy who will never love me, not even if I look pretty. His name is Shawn, and he's hot from dusk to dawn. I am in 6th grade, he's in 7th, oh God I wish I was in heaven with him liking me twenty four/seven. He's cute and loves to laugh. I wish I were his girlfriend, so we can hang out together, and live a happy life forever. If only he'd like me I'd be way happier than a tree.

Today I stare into your eyes and I see myself

Today I stare into your eyes and I see myself in you. You light up my life and I don't know what I would do without you. Everyday I think about you. And when you are not here I cry because I miss you so much..You are my world you are my everything...And that is what I love about you...

kati, 14

When I look at you I shiver

When I look at you I shiver, when we touch I quiver, When you hold me I feel weak, I feel useless when we don't speak, what makes me love you so? Your eyes, your lips? I want to know. I want you to hold me tight all day and night and never let go. You're my king and I'm your queen, baby, you mean everything to me.

I Finally Learned

I Finally Learned

I feel sad , I feel mad
And I don't know why
I try but I still cry
And that's not right
For my life
I feel like if I'm different from everyone
Like I'm not anyone
I want to scream
But I only dream that I'll be someone else
Someplace , Someday , Somewhere .
But today is differentt because now I know
That no matter what I'll always glow
I used to think I wasn't worth anything
But now I'm not afraid of everything .
Because I learned to love myself
Without the opinions of everyone else ,
Finally I learned to love myself !!!

Love

Love

Love lasts forever. It's a never-ending feeling that never fades. (in cases of real love) I just wish one day you'll see that we should (hopefully) be more than just friends. One day I'll tell you of these feelings that I have kept in my heart for you. One day. They say love is when one person finds the pure happiness of another person. Adults are always telling me that I'm too young to understand true love, but I think I can tell when I'm truly happy. Can't I? One day I hope that you'll find true happiness, to fall in Love. Even if it's not me. Love forever, love fully.

Angels

She sits with the angels now
She's no longer here
I want to say goodbye but I can't now
At the memory of you I shed a tear

Take care up there
And go through heaven's door
But the pain right now I can't bear
Because you're here no more

I love you now and always will
Take care nanna and night night

Walking Down the Street

Walking down the street, at a very fast pace
Walking down the street, this is like a race
Footprints padding, shouting, screaming
Bang bang, bang bang
Almost shot me down
Got to duck, got to duck
Don't want to end up like my mum or dad
Dead in my house
I'm scamping like a mouse
Running, running, can't stop now
Slower, and slower...
Till a stand still
Bang bang, bang bang...
THUMP

Beth, 12

Do You Really Love Me?

Do you really love me?
Yes, I really want to know
Are you being up front with me
Or should I now just let you go

I've had my heart broken once
For twice I promised myself never again
I will never love anyone like my first
I promised this time we'd start off as friends

I know you like me
For I can see it in your eyes
But because of my trust issues
All of your word can so easily become lies

I want to trust you... really I do
But how can I
When I don't even believe it
When you say I love you

Erin, 19

Love at First sight

You caught my eye and I couldn't stop staring
The way you smiled, the shininess of your hair
Then I caught your eye, don't know how
But all I could think about is the deepness of your eyes
I smiled over, you waved your hand
I walked over, so did you
I do not know you and I am already hugging you, holding you tightly
I feel like I could laugh, so happy I have found you
I feel like I could cry, just in case I lose you
We hug for hours, frozen like statues
Then you pull apart, and you wipe the tears from my face,
"What is your name?" I ask you, but you just shake your hand, kiss my hand and break apart
And I have lost you forever

Ash, 12

Un-named

This is never really said
To anyone in my life
Anyone like you.
This is real hard
To tell you how I really feel about you
I don't want it to come between us
Or I don't want you to leave
I don't want you to go and not speak to me again
Well here I go...
I love you with all my heart
Please don't leave me
Or leave me without you there
You don't have to tell me
How you feel about me.
Please stay by my side
And help me through these things
That I need to get through.
Then once you know
How you feel about me
You can tell me
But until then
You can keep it in.

With You...

With you...

Being with you is
Like a teardrop on a rose
Planted in a sugarfield
Guarded by black crows

And whwn the sun shines
My love grows for you
And when we're apart my world turns so blue

I'm only happy being with you
Your my best friend
And I'm so in love with you

Being with you is like
Having heaven on earth
I think our guardian angels
Chose us for each other at birth

I'll never leave you
For any kind of way
You are my moon, my wind
My everything, my today

You make me smile when
I'm angry and upset
You're braver than anyone I know
And for that baby I'll never let you go

We have our disagreements as most couples do
But through all our differences
We know that our love for each other is true

Being with you has been the best thing that's happened to me in my entire life
And that's why I know that one day
You'll be calling me your wife

Erin, 19

Tell Everyone not to Grieve

Tell everyone not to grieve
As you are not about to leave
All the bad thoughts in your mind
Erase them and put them behind
You will be fine for you are too kind
I've never met anyone like you
You always know what to do
Right now things are rough
So we all have to remain tough
Before long things will get better
I pray every night
For God to help make things right
With God on our side
You'll get through this rocky ride
Only a couple of months untill the day
I graduate the 11th of May
As I walk across the stage
I'm going to look up at you
And smile for a while
Knowing you helped me get here
Making my priorties clear

Tera, 17

There's Something About You

There's someting about you
That keeps you on my mind

There's something abou you
That makes me think of you all the time

There's something about you
That makes me kiss you the minute I see you

There's something about you
That makes my heart skip a beat when we're together

There's something about you
That makes me feel I could call on you whenever

There's something about you
That makes me feel the way I do

There's something about you
And thats why I... love you

Pool of purity
Young and old

Katie, 11

Why

Why

When I first met you I thought you were the one
But I guess I was wrong
You made my heart fele like it was ripped out and thrown away
You said you would love me, you said you cared,
But that was all lies. Why would you even go there?
I gave you my all. I thought we would end up like the people on "Love and Basketball".
I guess I was wrong and you were right
I'm a regular girl so here's a tip:
I really did love you and I thought you cared,
But you just played with my emotions
Walked over them like you walk up and down stairs.
I wish you would see how much you destroyed me
I wish what you did to me happens to you
Dedicated to: Maurice

tabitha, 15

Why....

Why...

I'm scared of being hurt
I'm terrified of feeling the pain
I just can't keep doing this
Or forever I'll go insane
I can't cry anymore
For the tears have dried and gone
But for some crazy reason, I still feel so alone
I try my best to hide it from everyone
I promised myself I wouldn't let anyone ever see
I sometimes just wish that everyone would just let me be
I smile and I laugh just as everyone else does
But my laughter is bitter, so false and hallow
My days blend in together..I never see the tomorrows
I'm just so tired of feeling like this
Just what the hell did he do to me?
Is this what love is supposed to be?
To feel chained inside yourself like a prison
To never ever truly feel set free
What did I do that was so wrong?
Why am I the one who still wants to cry?
Am I the only one who wants to break down and cry out "why?"
This just isn't fair, I didn't ask for this you know
Why is it that I'm the one who just can't seem to let go?
Why...Why...Why? Someone please let me know
Just what is it that I have to do to let this hurt inside me go?

erin, 19

I want..

I want..

I want you.. but know I will not give in
I won't let you take my body and turn and leave again.
I can't do it and I refuse to let you have your way
Not now, not here, not this girl, nope, not today
You have to respect me mind, body, and soul
I don't do one night stands or booty calls
If you want me.. you have to take it all
I know you want me, and as I said earlier, I want you too.
But you have to know that I will not give in to you
I need a friend who listens
A person who cares
I need a man who lets me know that he'll always be there
If you can't follow my words
then maybe you should go find someone else
because I know I deserve all of this and more
and if this person isn't you, well then, you know how to exit out the door.

Erin, 19

erin, 19

I know

I know

I know it's hard for you to really get to know me
But please believe when I say I'm glad you try
For I could never truly let you know
Why sometimes at night I breakdown and cry
I've had my heartbroken as most girls do
But this guy took me to hell and back through and through
I do hope you don't give up on me.. I do hope and pray
Give me a chance to prove to you that I care
I don't know how long it's going to take
Or if I'll ever be able to mend my broken heart
But I do know that I want to be with you
I've known that from the very start
You're my smile...My laughter... All the good that you have made in my life ...
I am hoping and praying with all of my might that you believe me when I say that baby forever
I'll be loving you.

Hiding

Hiding

Hiding underneath your soft quilt
Into the darkness
Slowing crying and whining
Hiding underneath that fake happy smile

To make yourself feel better
You imagine what wish you had
And not realizing of what you did have
Your real friends ask you stuff and expect you
To be faithful and honest
And you make up things
You keep on lying to them
And lying to yourself

Think for a moment that it is not right
Look up at the dark blanket night sky
With the stars shining bright
Make a clean start
Be yourself
From better to worse
Be you like you deserve
Be happy in yourself

In your mood and school times
Remember I'll never leave you
I'll always be there no matter what happens
I'll be on your side
And your guarding angel in the skies
So please don't hide.

By Katie 16.
Dedicated to all the SmartGirls out there who just need a boost in their confidence.
Remember that I have you and you have me.

Katie, 16

Thank You Mum!

Thank You Mum!

Katie 16: Dedicated to my mum on Mother's Day.

Thank You Mum!

For always giving me your time
And when times at school have been a real fight
Thanks for making things right
You were there for me

When I thought that no one would like me
But now thanks to you
Slowly my confidence in friendships is rising
All the tears that I may have cried
You always made me smile again and held me tight

Birthdays and Christmases
You always know what to get for us
With your own personal plans
And you're a super Nan

There is nothing more special than a mum
If I could have picked you, the rose from a bed of flowers
All of the roses were mums
Out of a million,
Your individual scent and colour
Standing out of the red would be you the sunshine yellow
I would always pick you

My love for you is a garden of flowers
Anything for you
You're special Mum,
Thank you, I love you always.

Katie, 16

Sexy Blue Eyes

Your sexy blue eyes glisten so bright,
It makes me feel so out of sight,
My heart's beating faster than ever before,
Daily, this feeling increases more,
Every time I hear or think of you, I smile
Every day just seeing you is always worth my while,
I'm thankful you came into my life,
Anything for you, I'd sacrifice,
I wish I was your girl and you were my man,
We could get together and form a clan

Rain

Rain is the channel no one wants to turn to
A series of bad signals that no one wants to belong to
Yet it purifies and brings purpose for the next sunny day
As my tears reach the edge of my nose they fall to meet the rains reflection from the ground
In that same breath Cupid shot me down so fast
I wonder how you can not see through the storm which life has stored for you, but in order to see the sun there would have to be rain in the beginning
I Love You Aunt Mary Lou

Peaches, 17

You told me you loved me

You told me before that you loved me
And that you were always thinking of me
You would even call me back when I hung up on you.
Now who would have ever thought that it soon would be us,
Always fighting.
But when it all comes down to it I believe it is because our love is dying.
Was it because of the many people who got in the way?
The people who are still here to bug us in every way
Jealousy is not an option
But if you swear you love me...
There's no stopping
No stopping our hearts from going crazy when one comes near.
I will love you always and forever
And always let it be us forever.
Know that you'll always be in my heart
Juust like before, in the very beginning
When it's real it's for ever
Never forgetting the love we have towards each other
Like two hearts, beating and becoming one
So is our love over?
Or has it just begun...

Love is like a glass,
Handle it with care,
because once it's broken,
it's hard to repair!*

Family of Snowmen

A family of snowmen sit on snow,
At night they awake, at night they go,
Even though it's night,
Their day has just begun,
And it will be full of fun,
It is such a silly sight,
A snow angel,
A snowball fight,
It is a wonder,
That you can't even see in space,
And when they're done,
With all their fun,
They melt at the fireplace.

Magenta, 11

The Heart of the Innocent

The heart of the innocent I try to protect,
but alas I'm not there yet.
Too far away from purity.
I was born into sin, don't you see?

As rain falls on the rocks in the sea.
Please don't rob me of my purity.
I see this world, but I just want to leave it behind.
So much evil, and so many are blind.
I- with just one eye closed will never understand why I think what I think.
Every day as I'm pushed to the brink.
Like the tide I return, with one foot off and one on.
As I get caught in the waves, I turn and I turn. Beginning to think I shouldn't listen,
beginning to think I should keep my distance,
and perhaps my little bit of innocence.

sarai, 17

If You Were Me

If You Were Me

Do you ever wish
That you could be
Somebody else, besides
Yourself?

If you spent
But, five minutes
In my shoes,
Maybe you'd know
Now how I feel.

Before you judge
Me. Maybe thinking,
"She's happy!" "She's
Always smiling."

You haven't gotten
To know me.
You don't feel
Like I feel
Inside.

You haven't been
Hurt as much
As I have.
Regretted so
Many things
That I've done
And wish that
I didn't do.

To see my
Reflection in
The window and
Wonder why..

That longing in
My eyes. Maybe
For love, or maybe
For someone to
Care for me.

After you spend
These five minutes
In my shoes
Maybe then you'll
See how I am.
See how I feel.

Haley, 14

Lips

I can't wait for that one moment when his lips touch mine and mine touch his . It's that moment, right there, that's the most perfect moment ever. All of a sudden you get this funny feeling that's good like when you look at fireworks, or the stars. But what's even better about it is that you will always remember it.

Girls are like apples on trees

Girls are like apples on trees,
The best ones are on top of the tree.
The boys don't want to reach for the good ones,
Because they're afraid of falling and getting hurt.
Instead they just get the rotten ones that are on the ground,
They are not as good, but easy to get.
So the apples on top think there is something wrong with them,
When in reality, they're amazing.
That is why they have just got to be a little patient and the right boy,
The one who takes a chance to find the good,
Right apple,
Will come someday...

Neglected

Neglected
Some people say that I am ugly, fat, and dumb.
They don't know what they are talking about,
Because they are all just plain wrong.
So I am ugly, I am fat, don't care about that.
I am not dumb, I'm just having fun and
People are hating me because I am the one
that is neglected.
I don't have any say, just walking in this day, with other people dissing me like crazy. Calling me names, playing secret games, man,
this life isn't free.
I feel neglected, pushed away, playing games.
Don't know what to do, don't know what to do.
Boy, this thing is not cool, everyone doesn't understand me, don't want to be neglected. Pushed away, don't have a say, neglected.

Gina, 10

What Is?

What Is?
What is the meaning of love and compassion?
What is the meaning for us?
What is the spark that lights out of the sky,
All for the deep trust?
Do you really care that I'm not a supermodel?
Do you think that I am okay?
Do you know if you would never cheat and go away?
Do you know if we will be together forever?

Gina, 10

When I first saw you I knew it was love

When I first saw you I knew it was love at first sight. Because when I look into your eyes I see what makes me happy and I know that I will be safe with you. I know that you will take care of me. I know know that you love me and you didn't have to say it because I can tell by the way you look at me. I haven't had anyone else look at me the way you do and that is how I know it was love at first sight.

Kati, 14

You were there, now you are gone

You were there, now you are gone. When we heard the news you passed away the whole world was silence. If you dropped pen you could hear it drop. So quiet, so quiet when you are not here.

My Heart

She was perfect

She was perfect
Her eyes shone like stars
She is so popular
And tan
I am so pale and geeky
She has all her
Popular friends
And her cute boyfriend
Flirty, Cute, and just plain
Popular
I have my dorky friends
And a crush who
Barely knows I exist
Should I follow her? A
Girl who has always
Been rude and
Put me down? And
Become
Flirty?
And Cute?
And just plain
Popular?

The guy I love

The guy I love

The guy I love
He turned me down
He insulted me
He broke my heart
I keep saying to myself 'move on, you don't need him' and yet I can't stop thinking about him
I don't know why, why do I cry every night thinking about him?
Why do I still love him?
Can you tell me why, why do I still love him when he crushed me?
I don't know why either.
Since I've been in love the one thing I learned is that I will never understand guys.

Rumors

Rumors

Rumors hurt,
Rumors burn,
Rumors sting,
They make you scream,
I wish it was a dream,
That I could just wake up and it would be over.
It still hurts,
I still cry,
But I will come through to be with you.
I know I make you sad,
And sometimes mad
But when I see your face
It puts me in my place,
I am happy again!

Poem of friendship

You are my best friend,
Our friendship shall never end.
Let's have some fun,
By playing in the sun.

But if you're afraid of the sun,
I will give you a bun.
If buns are your fear,
You are my best friend, dear!

Wind from the East

A clam wind in the East and she was gone
The sands of time had no warning as to where she had gone to or where she was.
Just the trickle of rain and there they stand
and wait for her on the path of tears.

Friends

Friends,

Friends are loving,
Friends are kind,
They are forgiving most of the time,
But when they don't forgive it's hard to live,
But I will come through
Because my friend, I will always love you.

My Voice Shone Through The Rain?

My Voice Shone Through The Rain?

I can't hear myself think
Hearing people's feet walking
Click clock
Along the slippery wet pavement

Won't anybody here my voice
My voice, my song
I know what I want
People see me
But they're not seeing the real me

I'm soaked right through
I feel wet and confused
My clothes are wrecked
Look behind these brown eyes

Here I am
Don't ignore me, I have something to say
Look at me, I'm not invisible
From head to toe, I'm me
And if it kills you to look on the inside
I'm still me and you won't get to see what's behind me
I'm me, yes, it's me so please don't deny it!!!

Katie, 16

My Sweet.

My Sweet.

Whenever you feel down
And you cry in the middle of the night
You try to forget about everything
Let's get one thing right
I'm your friend
Despite everything that's happened in sight
I know what's true
You have everything to live for in this world
Let's turn everything around tonight
You have nothing to lose
Problems always turning from roller coaster-
To coaster
Reach out for the new beginning
The new key, the new door
Don't turn back,
Don't look back
Because I've already gone right through
The door and I'm waiting for you
You've done it before.

Katie, 16

I Thought We Were Dreaming?

I Thought We Were Dreaming?

The sun shone through my bedroom window
The summer was here
I went outside into the fresh air
The summer breeze blew through my hair
Theress no chance there's going to be a change of wind
Through the clear lake near the meadows
There was a girl, yes it was my reflection,
But then there was him
Surrounding me, peaceful surroundings
His soft hands made me glow to his faithful touch
He gently stroked my hand
And took my hand
And kissed me
What a beautiful moment
And I thought we were dreaming?

Katie, 16

The best of friends

The best of friends,
Can change a frown,
Into a smile,
When you feel down.

The best of friends,
Will understand,
Your little trials,
And lend a hand.

The best of friends,
Will always share,
Your secret dreams,
Because they care.

The best of friends,
Worth more than gold,
Give all the love,
A heart can hold.

She is so Perfect

She is so perfect
With her perfect friends
And perfect hair
And perfect clothes and
Her perfect boyfriend

I am not perfect
My friends seem so geeky and
My hair is always a mess
And my clothes totally suck
Never had a boyfriend in my life

Should I be like her?
Is she really so perfect?
Someone who rules the school because
She is mean to others and
Gets terrible grades? And she
Is always showing off her body like
Some kind of stripper...

What will it be?

Sullygirl, 14

Every Tear Falling Out of My Eyes

Every tear falling out of my eyes

Every tear falling out of my eyes are another
Sin shedding darkness. I cry and run away.
Do not think I am the baby in disguise,
Because I have feelings. My eyes all red and puffy from what has happened. Shan't happen again.

Passion for Fashion

With the passion for fashion
And the flair to do hair
She's a hottie with a body
Who doesn't care
What people thinks about her
And what they will say
Cause she knows she'll be better
Than them one day
People call her conceited or even vain
She's just being herself, a big fat pain
So stop being a hater
And just move on
This girl is too hot so see why'all later
She's smart, lovable and a beauty
And this hot girl is known as Cutie

Trapped in a dark room
Waiting to see
Who might be the one
To notice me

Begging for help
Trying to be
Someone I'm not
Inside of me

I really do
Why don't you love me?
Is it because
The last time I saw you
Was 3 days ago?

Gone in the Dark.

Gone in the Dark.

I thought you loved us,
But like theives in the night you ran
You left in the truck,
And we were abandoned.
You were gone in the dark.

I thought you loved us,
But so many lies told to all four.
You ran from the large and small,
And we were left all alone.
You were gone in the dark.

I thought you loved us,
"One day before I leave we will bond" you said.
And then, you were gone.
We never got the day.
You were gone in the dark.

And now we are alone in the dark.

Impression

Impression

I'm caught in an impression
Of what I want to be
Tangled in a web
Of mystery
Wanna feel the sunlight
Wanna feel the breeze
But it's not gonna happen
Until I stop painting
An impression of me.

In my Eyes

In my eyes

My eyes are windows to the depth of my soul,
My body is so young,
Yet my heart's so old.

I've been through a lot but I will not cry,
You'll never see tears in the windows of my eye,
You may try to hurt me but you'll never succeed,
There's no feelings to make my heart bleed.
