The Beast

 THE BEAST
~Lily
Its glowing ember eyes burned with fire                     
Vicious was its heart desire                                                                 
                                                                                                    
Stalking prey amongst the grass                                                         
Watching, waiting until the blast                                                          

It jabs the flesh of the food
Making a deep wound.

This is the beast

The Real Truth

~ Lily
 
I hate the way I don’t hate you
I can’t stand to see you with the other girl
I despise every part of her
But I guess that’s up to you.

I can’t stop thinking about you
I can’t stand to see you leave.
I miss your bright smile to me,
But even more I wish I wasn’t losing you.

I know that I am in way over my head
But I just want to you to believe in me
I have so much I didn’t say
But now I know the real truth

I let you go before your time
I never deserved your care
You showed me how to be free
And now I know that I love you

I said Sorry.

I said I was sorry.
Are you gonna leave me like this?
I love you and
I just don't think I'll make it.
I said I was sorry

I said I was sorry
You are and were my hero.
Do you still have to go?
I'm gonna miss you where ever you go.
I said I was sorry.

I said I was sorry.
I'm left here to despair.
You seem like my other half.
Will you help me through this?
I said I was sorry.


*** I wrote this for my brother. We get in fights often, but they're not major. He's going to go to the Naval Academy and I feel like he shouldn't leave me. So here's to him. I love you more than anything in the world. You're my hero, don't forget it. Goodbye.

I missed you
~ Lily

When we were little I used to love you
You left me.
Even though it wasn’t your fault
You left me.

I fell so hard for those two years.
You broke me.
I found another but it was no use.
You broke me.

When I saw your face again I realized
I missed you.
I cried my self to sleep that night.
I missed you.

Now you are back in my heart.
I love you.
You came back after being apart.
I love you.

When you left me I was broken.
I missed and I loved you.
It is that way once again.
My love for you is forever.

Eventually

~Lily
I know
I’m not a prom queen
And I know
I’m never gonna be

Cuz some things
just aren’t meant for me
And some things
are never gonna be

I am
perfect the way I am
And I am
not changing that

So bring it on
I'll be prepared.
And I will
never fear.

Cuz eventually
Everything will fall
right into place
for me

 

Nothing Girl

by Christelle Duvenage

Maybe I wear baggies
and white socks with flip-flops,
maybe I don't like listening to rave
and I'm not on the social mountaintops,
maybe I don't care about the things
that make your worlds twirl,
maybe you look at me and think:
Gee, what a nothing girl.

Maybe I like giving smiles
which seems to be a sin today,
and maybe I allow my imagination
to sometimes run away,
maybe you don't understand this
and that's why you cannot see,
if this make me a nothing girl,
hey, that's ok with me!

The world makes you believe
your personality mustn't be detected,
your face must be picture perfect
and wear clothes just the best, to be accepted.
Maybe I look at you
and feel sorry that you're blind,
robots you have become,
yourself you'll never find.

God made you, as well as me,
this means I am something,
the world is a liar
and if I must be a nothing
for you to see it,
then so be it!

From the inspired poem ' If ' - by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream and not make dreams your master;
If you can think and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools
*All things will be yours.

*The last line in this poem was made up by me because I couldn't find the rest of the poem.

Littlekidbirthday

By Nora E. Atkinson

I want milkncookies
And I want to believe in the toothfairy
Because I feel old now
And I've lost the tingle of youth

Because when you're my age,
You don't hear, You're it! often enough
And you don't see the faces in the clouds
And kooties have become AIDS.

And no matter how many bubbles I blow
The world isn't new anymore
And when I walk, one foot on the curb and one on the street,
Updownupdownup,
They look at me funny.

And I don't feel littlekidbirthday anymore
And I don't feel santasbringintoys.

They've all grown old, married, gone away
They've lost their boyish grins,
But I want to play hide-and-go-seek again.
I want to chase the icecream man.

And I don't fear the monsters under my bed anymore
Because the real world scares me now
I used to be able to hug my teddybear
And everything would be ok,
Or mom would kiss the tears away...
But not anymore.

Whirling in the grass till we fell down laughing
Playing dress up in mom's clothes
Days when I didn’t know how to read a clock,
Walking barefoot in the grass.
Those days are gone now.

And I'll never feel littlekidbirthday again
And I don't feel santasbringintoys.
I feel old and grown up now.
I feel old.
