I am....

2008-02-16T00:15:01Z

I am a dreamer, a dancer.
Who believes that everyone is given a second chance.

I am a poet, a musician.
Who uses sounds and words so that I can be heard.

I am an artist, a reader.
I use a brush to paint my story.

I am an achiever, an individual.
I put forth effort in everything I do and remain true to myself even when that is the hardest thing to do.

I am Me.

Black Valentine

2008-02-07T20:17:56Z

To the one that would never love me,

Do you remeber me?
I loved more than anything, But I wasn’t ever given as much as a friendly stare.
You tore my heart until it bled and threw me to the side.
You stood there forever and laughed until I cried.
Now thanks to you I may never trust again.
Thank you my dear black Valentine, I’ll hate you until the end…

Cause and Effect

2008-02-07T20:11:36Z

To be laughed at like you’re their entertainment makes you feel ashamed.

To be talked about like you can’t hear creates a heavy heart.

To be pointed at and labeled makes you think you don’t belong.

And when everyone pretends its okay to call you names makes your heart ache until there’s nothing left.

So next time reach out to someone. Take their hand, at least then they’ll know their not alone….

Alone

2008-02-07T01:17:13Z

Everyone has days where they feel alone, even if their in a crowded room.

The feeling becomes overwhelming and lets face it, No one wants to end up alone.

There are times when no one is there to comfort you, yes thats true.

There are times when you have no one to sit at lunch.

And there will be times when your by yourself.

But when you think about it your never really alone....

Because as long as you have your friends, you never are.

(*inspired by my friend Cheyenne. Because your there for me when I feel alone as well :))

20 minutes

2008-01-19T04:04:50Z

1, 2, 3 I count my steps as rush from the bus stop to my house.

4, 5, 6 The white peice of paper you passed me in math held firmly in my hand.

7, 8, 9 One block down one to go. Why does the time seem to pass my so slow?

10, 11, 12 I hurridly grab my key from my book bag, and turn the door knob.

13, 14, 15 I grab the phone and dial the numbers scrawled on the peice of notebook paper.

16, 17, 18 It rings and someone picks up on the other line.

19, 20 “Hello Dr. Evans’ Dental office how may we help you today?” my face turns red when I realized I dialed the last three numbers incorrectly. “Sorry, wrong number.” click.

’ Those were the longest 20 minutes of my life and I called a dental office?!’

Oh where, oh where did Janie go?

2008-01-08T23:47:43Z

Oh where, oh where did Janie go?

Oh where, oh where did Janie go?
She’s out behind the school.
With her new group of friends, she thinks she’s really cool.

Oh where, oh where did Janie go?
With her yellow smile and smoky clothes,
Please bring back the Janie I know.

Oh where, oh where did Janie go?
She told me to meet her by the tree.
She smiles and says encouraging words
As she lights that cancer stick and gives it to me.

Oh where, oh where did Janie go?
I told her no and pushed her hand away.
She’s mad, but seeing her like this really makes me sad.

Oh where, oh where did Janie go?
She’s at the Hospital, gone away.
The doctors sighed, “Her nicotine consumption was much too high.”
Her heart began to go to fast, causing her to have a heart attack.

Oh where, oh where did Janie go?

Phone call

2008-01-08T20:50:46Z

My hands shake as I pick up the phone.

Quickly, my slippery fingers dial your number.

It rings; Three times exactly.

I wait in scilence to hear your voice, something I think I may be afraid to hear…

“Hello?” your voice is distance on the other end of the phone, but still your there.

“Hey, this is Megan, from school.” my voice breaks at the last word; I can feel myself trembling.

I could’ve sworn I heard the smile in your voice as you said, “Hey, whats up?”

I smile too, suddenly I feel calm.

‘Because your happy I called.‘

Till tomorrow

2008-01-08T20:43:52Z

When you have no one who cares, you slowly fall through the cracks.

With no voice to speak out, no one will lend a hand.

When no one cares you wait until its over, instead of looking forward.

And thats the end. You no longer care what happens, just that soon the day will be over; till tomorrow….

Remember?

2008-01-08T20:35:13Z

Remember when I’d blush each time he looked my way?
I’m over it.

Remember whenever he’d smile I’d grow weak at the knees?
Not anymore.

And when he bumped me in the hallway?
Well I’ve burned the shirt.

Because loving him only made me hurt…

Will you?

2008-01-08T20:31:34Z

Will you you still love me when I’m less than perfect?

Will you reach for my hand when I need you the most?

Will you wipe away my tears when I feel they’ll never stop?

Will you help me stand when I’ve been knocked down?

Will you love me for me?

Not jealousy, bitterness, or even hate...

2008-01-03T21:59:53Z

A new school year; one where we shall never see each other, except for those quick moments in the hall.

We sat in a circle, holding hands with a red candle illuminating our faces in the darkness. I don’t know how long we sat there but it seemed like time its self had stopped.

‘What are we going to do without each other this year?‘

She seemed to know what I was thinking and broke the circle to hug me. “One person, cannot keep us apart. Our bond is stronger than any other force. Not jealousy, bitterness, or even hate of those around us can break it.”

I smiled watching the shadows from the flame dance on my friend’s faces. ‘Because love concurs all.‘

A friend is...

2008-01-03T01:32:47Z

A friend is someone you laugh until you cry with, but when you need them they’re there to lend an ear and listen even to the things you didn’t say.

Someone who loves you even when everything goes wrong. Who stands with open arms, saying “I’m here for you.”.

A Friend stays with you through thick and thin, who makes you smile when you’ve had a bad day.

Love will walk in and out of your life, but all the while your friends will be there with a hug or two to spare, saying “I love you.” when thats all you need to hear.

Notice Me

2007-12-30T20:44:30Z

As I walk silently through the halls, just by your locker I stop. Are you ever gonna notice me? You turn around and my hopes rise to see your face smiling back at me. Are you gonna finally notice me? But I guess I’m just another face to pass because there you go. You looked right through me as if I’m not even here. Are you ever gonna notice me?

Its times like these I cry, silent tears. Because obviously I’m not worth your time. If thats the way its gonna be I guess I’d better stop loving, you before I’m pulled in too deep. But I was foolish and held on awhile longer, only to be dissapointed in the end.

Well you won. Here I sit on the cold hard floor writing this poem, as the silent darkness begins to intoxicate my thoughts. You never cared and never will, I realize that now.

This go out to you with all the bitterness I can gather from the bottom of my heart, and I send my love to all my friends for being there for me, even though I know I’m less than perfect.
