Hi, guys! Today, my blog will be consisting of a couple of poems I wrote for a teacher at my home school. I hope that’s okay! I think some of them are pretty good…
If
If there is one thing on earth I want more,
It is to feel like I am desired.
Romantic desire isn’t something I would ask for.
Because all I want is to feel admired.
I want someone to take an interest in me.
I want a stranger to look in my direction.
If only this happened could I finally be free
From the haunting fear of rejection.
I want to be able to look at myself and not heave a disappointed sigh.
I want to know if I’ll ever serve a purpose.
I only want to know if I’m worth someone’s time.
But, if I’ll ever believe in my beauty, I’m dubious.
Unnerved
I glance behind me, never slowing
I’m running for my life
He’s five feet away from me
Slowly inching closer
And closer
And closer
I pick up the pace to a sprint
I don’t know how long I can keep this up
Already so exhausted
People are surrounding me
But no one is helping
I’m deserted
Everyone deserted me
I’m going to die….
No, I can make it.
I glance behind me again
He isn’t there.
I turn back around, and there he is.
Knife in hand.
Knife inches from my chest.
Knife in my chest.
Knife in my heart.
Heart stops
Eyes stop
Body stops
Black
Love at First Sight
I really wish I knew
When I look into a stranger’s eyes
Green, hazel, brown, gray, or blue?
Can I see them through their disguise?
You were already smiling when I locked eyes with you
You seemed so open, so warm
There wasn’t a doubt that grew
That you’d always help someone through a storm.
I recognized this without a conversation
Because, when I looked at your face, I saw no mask
Realizing this gave me a delightful sensation
You’re honest about everything asked.
My eye contact with you lasted for one second.
A smile made its way onto my lips
And faded when I noticed that you were already taken.
Intertwined hands swinging below your hips
If only I looked somewhere different.
Maybe even just a couple inches above.
If only I wasn’t drawn to his significance.
If only I wasn’t so quick to fall in love.
After the Calm Before the Storm
Gray and black clouds filled the sky
Thunder boomed and lightning struck
Wind howled and houses shook
Leaves whirled in the air
Dogs and children whimpered with fear
To our loved ones: “Tell me when you get there.”
There was a moment of silence.
The whole earth trembled with anticipation
And we were finally graced with the precipitation.
The unforgiving stream of rain unleashed its hell on us.
At least dealing with it was better than not knowing.
We could finally accept the storm not that the rain was showing.
Brother Against Brother
“CHARGE!”
When this distant command was shouted,
My life was forever changed.
The opposing side came rushing over to our side of the field.
“CHARGE!” Our general ordered us in return
We got closer and closer to the rivals.
We yelled as we ran to try to distract us from the fact that…
we all might meet Death very soon.
The two clustered groups started to clash
Blood was splattering everywhere
Ears were ringing from all the noise
An eternity of war already passed
When I finally came face-to-face with someone.
We both paused and my face fell.
We glared at each other for what could have been minutes
Tears stung my eyes as words fell from my lips.
“It’s you.”
My words were muffled
The best he could do was read my lips
But I had no doubt that he knew what I said.
Our reunion was cut short with a sudden realization.
The battle was the priority over family.
We were both fighting for what we believed in.
I looked my twin in the eyes as I took my sword in my hand
Tears blurred my vision as I took swing after swing.
My sword finally met with his body
He fell to the ground…
And he didn’t get back up.
