Forgiveness

Author's Note: I guess for one of my goals, I had to write something about forgiving people, so here it is.

I know I can't trust you

Our fights won't be forgotten

It's simple to say, "I forgive you"

But it's also easy to say, "I hate you"

One syllable's difference

The one I would be willing to speak for you

I forgive you

Coming Home

Author's Note: Mrs. Reagles told me I had to write something positive, so I wrote about somebody coming home from a war.

She had been awaiting his arrival

Would he come home?

Nobody could tell her

If he didn't get off this flight

     She knew he wouldn't be coming home

She pondered her thoughts

     Picked them one by one

She gazed up

He was there

     Walking towards her

They fell into each other's arms

They just held on

     She had him

      He had her

Nothing could be better

Click

Author's Note: To be honest, I don't really know what I was thinking while I was writing this. 

There is a click

Constantly in the back of your mind

It just keeps going

       And going

        And going

You wonder what it is

You can't ask anyone because they can't hear it

They can't feel it

They'll probably think you've gone mad

But what if I told you...

You're not crazy at all

It was them all along

Hurt

Author's Note: I was watching a movie a few weekends ago and this kid's dad was really horrible to him, and it gave me inspiration for a piece. 

Slapped and hit and pinched

Shriveled into nothingness

Bumped and bruised and kicked

Pushed into a corner

That's how it feels

When nobody cares

"You're just a living thing. You ain't important anyways."

His father told him

Everyday

Author's Note: This piece is what it sort of feels like to be invisible. 

Everyday

I hear the same words

Nobody likes you.

Everyday

I see the same faces

Only to deliver nasty looks

Everyday

I feel as though I'm invisible

Pushed into lockers as I walk down the hall

You're not the head of this school

Nobody will bow down to you

Nobody likes you

I. Am. Not. Invisible.

Black Streaks

Author's Note: This piece was just a random thing that I wrote.

Her eyeliner

Ran down her face

Black streaks of tears

Flowing

Like a waterfall

There was no reason, really

She just had had enough

X

Author's Note: I wrote this, because as I see it, there are two ways that you can be loved, but it can show that through the same object.

Heart with an X that is marked through it

Symbolizing that it does not only deliver love

It delivers a kiss, too

Simply, to know you are loved more

Than what you originally thought

It forever holds that love

                   ***

It can also mean you've been hurt

Bandages cover your heart

To make sure you don't fall apart again 

Don't let other break your heart

You deserve better 

Break

Author's Note: This is a piece that I wrote in math class because as usual, I got bored.

You are impenetrable

A solid sheet of steel

You should be breakable

Everyone is

Shed a tear

Take a look

You've build a wall

Someone has to knock it down

Nobody can come in

It's just you

Alone

In your world

Someday, you will shatter

I may not be there

But it will still be you

Alone...No one will come running

Because you've pushed everything away 

In this world that is good

When are you going to realize you've made a huge mistake?

Rude

Author's Note: This is how I feel towards people when they treat people meanly. People need to take into account, if you don't respect me, I won't respect you; simple as that.

I laugh at your pity

        Your sadness

You look at me like I'm some sick animal

        Festering wounds and all

You don't know what to do without me

       No where to turn

You brought it on yourself

       You asked for it

I'm delivering everything back

       So be ready for it

Because when it hits you

       It's going to hit

Hard.

Thank You

Author's Note: This piece was inspired by an event that took place over the weekend.

Though I never met you

You will always inspire me

You've done great things

You deserve to be remembered 

You are, and should be remembered, a role model

It is horrible that you had to go the way you did

You did something to help somebody else

It was beyond courageous

Knowing you had such a short time to do something

You did it

And nobody can ever forget you

Thank you for serving our country, thank you

Over

Author's Note: Change is a big word, and can be used in many definitions. Some change for the good, some for the bad. In this case, they have changed for the worse.

They follow you around

You're your own cult

You all think that everyone likes you

Even I've tricked you into that

But why did I ever bother wasting my time

I haven't liked you for a few years now

It's all just a show

That is how you operate

You pull people in and spit them out because they've changed

You know what?

YOU'RE the one that changed

Karma

Author's Note: Being that people are horrible, I wrote this piece. If anybody EVER treats you less that you deserve to be treated, let them go. Somebody will get them eventually.

You are a horrible person

You always have been

You always will be

You won't change because it's not possible

People that turn out like you this early on

Have no chance to change

The comments you make

The judgement you leave on people

Scars them for life

You make the pettiest comments about people

But really

You're judging yourself too

You'd better watch what you say because someday

It will come back

To haunt you

No More Pain

Author's Note: This piece is a battle that I have been overcoming lately and I'm proud. 

When the days are perfect

When there is no more rain

When you can look outside your window

Without feeling pain

Your blood runs still

It can't be real 

How could you be living 

Because you thought you could not heal

It's impossible

It's tricking me, though

It has to be real

It says it itself

I'm possible

I did make it through

Tears

Sitting on their bed

Minding their business

Reading a book

Thinking, just thinking

How could this have happened to me?

They hear the school bus pass

They get up to see if they are back, really

Or are they just dreaming

They close their eyes

And sit on the floor and cry

Just cry

And no one is there to say it will be okay

Because it won't

It never will

They lost their pride and joy

They lost what makes them smile when they are sad

And they can never have it back

Ghost

Author's Note: This piece was inspired by a ghost, but a ghost with no face. Maybe just a figment of somebodies imagination. 

I see a shadow

A glimpse in the light

A puff of white

No particular shape

A blur

Confusion

It's moving now

Close to me

I'm not scared

But am I crazy?

Can you reach me?

Author's Note: This piece is about having great success and not letting negativity bring you down.                                                                                   

                                                 

                                                  H

I am floating                       C

      High                           A

                                      E

So        you will never R  me

My success is great

But it can’t go to my head

But still, I shall not let those who bring me D

                                                                          O

Take away what I have going                        W

                                                        N

Tougher

Author's Note: This is a piece about two people fighting and it became a mental battle after a while because they stopped talking.

You try your hardest to destroy me

You try your hardest to make me feel like nothing

You try your hardest to give me pain

You try your hardest to get inside my head

You try your hardest to ignore me

But honey,

There is no way to make me go away

I am tougher than your brain leads me up to be

Weak, Or Not?

Part 1

Author's Note: This piece, Part 1 and Part 2 are combined pieces. Interpret what you will of them, however, it does have a story. If I say it, it will give it away. 

The doctors say, "You have don't have a disease"

That is what they call you

The doctors say, "You seem healthy"

They try their hardest to hurt you on the outside

The doctors say, "There's nothing wrong"

They find everything imaginable that's wrong

The doctors say, "An apple a day, that will keep me away"

I think to myself, briefly

I've eaten my apples

Why aren't they gone?

Part 2

You're a sickening disease

It runs through their blood

You torture them inside

Simply, by being better

Stronger

A shield that will not wither

Sturdy, firm

Plainly, so

They never thought you would be the one

To stay so..
