Young and impressionable,
You once were,
Fearless yet afraid,
Though always pure.

Breaking rules,
But keeping structure,
Unpredictable,
No race on culture.

Raised as a princess,
Forever spoiled,
Peace and love,
Forever loyal.

Don't Lose Hope

Left for secret,
No truth, no sorrow,
The cuts, bled freely,
The lies, still follow.

Deeper, and deeper,
There's no turning back,
Ready to run,
Nothing to pack.

A pocket of sanity,
Going shamelessly nowhere,
All but a cigarette,
Though nobody cares.

Trying, failing,
Wishing to succeed,
Wanting to be somebody,
Dreaming to lead.

Late at night,
Cold to the bone,
Hoping and praying,
For a place to call home.

Drenched in rain,
Standing there,
A shadowed figure,
Don't despair.

There's room for hope,
Approaching close,
Never give up,
Different than most.

They welcomed you in,
Forever with love,
Your prayers, now answered,
Up from above.

Alone

Every one is entirely unaware.
No one understands the pain.
Her screams awaken the night, as a dogs loud rusty bark.
Crying,
Screaming,
But there is no one to hear her,
She is neglected, invisible.

Trying to embrace what she feels is undignified.
Why cant they understand the sorrow,
How her heart bleeds and cry’s for help.

No one will take notice.
She wants to avoid the prudence,
Being laughed at,
Made fun of, invisible,
But its unfortunate of those who lack civility.

Her indignity of self pride.
She questions her purpose,
Claiming she is worthless to ones belief.

Alone at night,
Her body resurfaces from beneath the water,
Diligently,
Quietly,
Softly, invisible.

Reaching for the structure of a hand rail,
She withdrawals herself to the floor,
Bedewed.

She gazes at her reflection.
The mirror signifies her existence.
She is no longer invisible.

She is capable of change.
As a newly blossomed orchid,
Evolving into a beautiful flower.

Embody yourself,
Expand your horizon of possible limits,
And you will embrace yourself.

Just something I wrote in grade 10. I was pretty proud of it at the time, and it was published in a book for young poets. Now, looking back on it, there's lots of room for improvement, but pretty cool to have been published back then! <3

You swept it away,
On purpose, without permission,
Left unnoticed, no sign of loss,
A piece of my heart.

That day,
Before I knew you,
I loved you.

That strong connection we once shared,
Now feels lost within the walls we've built.

Those walls separate our being,
They keep hidden our hearts,
Our feelings we can't deny.

You've held on tight,
You've proved your strength,
But I can't take the pain, the hurt,
Haven't I told you,
Easily fragile.

I want to ..

I want to loose myself within your words,
I need your uplifting spirit,
Whoever you may be,
To guide me through this life.

I want to feel your tender embrace,
The warmth of your body, your hands, your face.

I need your arms,
Wrapped tightly around,
Your promise to never let go.

Whoever you are, wherever you may be,
I'm waiting for you to find my soul,
To find me.

Steady your pace,
No rush, I'm in no hurry,
As long as you promise never to leave.
