Poems in Progress
Poem #1 – secret stash =
Seeing You
Today is the day.
The day I will be seeing you.
It’s going to be the first time we have ever met.
I flew on a plane just to look at you.
We arrive.
I found a map to see where you were
I found you, you’re right there.
I’m walking towards you now.
We lock eyes
My eyes water ever so slightly,
Like the drips of water after a morning rain.
I’m looking at you
You are looking at me.
I start to walk towards you.
I reach out for you but my hand just misses.
I take my phone out and snap the first picture.
Then my mom snaps a picture of us together.
I will remember this day forever.
And I will always be able to say,
That was the day I got to see you.
Poem #2 – everyday =
Oh my wonderful plain cheerios,
I love you.
I could eat you everyday,
Heck I practically do.
You are my plain cheerios.
No one likes you as much as I do.
You are my favorite thing out of each day.
It’s super easy to eat you.
The first thing you do is get your favorite bowl.
Next add whatever milk you’d like.
Grab a spoon,
And ddd any fruit of your choice.
Don’t forget to take your lactaid pill!
And enjoy.
Poem #3 – Film =
They have always cared about each other,
But only in a friendship way.
One was in trouble and the other came running.
They got married and became a family.
With all the ups and downs they shared together,
They never lost their friendship.
All the lawyers and courts became too much,
But they never stopped fighting for one another.
This marriage showed them that no matter who you love,
Just love them with everything you have.
Who cares what people think!
Poem #4 – drafty draft poem =
The Way You Made Me Feel
STANZA #1 – You made me feel so alive,
Like I could do anything.
You touched me and I got a million goose bumps.
I felt on top of the world.
You said all the right things.
I was so happy.
STANZA #2 – Until one day you didn’t.
You hurt me and I shattered,
Into a tiny million pieces,
That can’t get put back together.
You made me feel endless,
Yet so broken at the same time.
STANZA #3 – I think about what I could have done better.
But I soon realized that I did nothing wrong.
You were the one that messed up,
Not me.
I am done, I am finally done.
Feeling you was great,
But leaving you feels so much better.
Poem #5 – living in a metaphor =
While you write be creative
I am creative
Writing is art
I am art
You can say whatever the hell you want
I do whatever the hell I want
Open your mind to magical things
I am magical things
Enjoy writing
I enjoy writing
Poem #6 – pandemic =
Isolation
Being locked up
With nothing to do
No one to talk to
That is isolation
Then one day being able to leave
See the people you love
Finally being able to enter the world again
But wait
Don’t forget your mask
You are still trapped
Not able to breathe
That is isolation
Poem #7 – Free Poem =
It’s hard to dream without color.
I can see my dreams,
But they are black and white.
Missing all the beautiful colors,
This world has.
Yellows, blues, greens.
Everything is dull,
Nothing is bright.
It makes me sad.
I miss the wonderful colors.
Reds, purples, pinks.
Please come back to my dreams,
So I can see the pretty colors again.
Poem #8 – Free Poem #2 =
STANZA #1 – I want to be pretty like nature.
Pretty like flowers and butterflies.
Like tall trees and short cut grass.
The way it makes people so happy.
STANZA #2 – Pretty like flowers and butterflies.
All the wonderful colors and more.
The way it makes people so happy
Is the way I want to feel.
STANZA #3 – All the wonderful colors and more,
Makes everyone feel so alive,
Is the way I want to feel
And so much fucking more.
STANZA #4 – I want to be pretty like nature.
With the birds singing songs.
Like tall trees and short cut grass.
I want everyone who looks at me to smile.
Poem #9 – acrostic =
STANZA #1 – I can’t help but think about him
Memories flood through my head
STANZA #2 – Stop that I tell myself
Over and over again
STANZA #3 – Over and over again
Very upset at myself
Every time I think of him I want to scream
Ready to be done
STANZA #4 – But can’t figure out how to let go
Engulfed with rage
I’m so over being used
Nothing can help me
Gone is what I want him to be
STANZA #5 – Useless piece of shit
Sadness takes over me
Everything is coming to an end
Dreading the part where I think of him again
Poem #10 – Free poem #3 =
I tell myself I’m alright,
But in all honesty I’m not.
The feeling of you on my body still lingers.
I don’t want to feel you touching me.
I want you to vanish into the air,
And never come back.
I don’t want you here anymore,
Can’t you see that?
You hurt me,
And I tell myself I’m alright,
But I’m really not.
Poem #10 – Dream Poem =
Dreams
Someone asked if I had dream last night
I lied and said no
But in all honesty I dreamt about you
About us
I didn’t want them to know
Know that I still think about you
We were happy like old times
Laughing with one another
I miss you
I miss us
The only time I see you is in my dreams
And I will forever hold on to those
Poem #11 – Free Poem #4 =
Risking it all
STANZA #1 – I wish I meant more to you
I found out you never even liked me
You just used me for your own enjoyment
I was healing
But now I’m back to where I started
STANZA #2 – You broke me again
For the third time
You have hurt me in ways I can’t even express
I wish you could feel the pain I’m feeling
I wish I meant more to you
STANZA #3 – Like the way you meant to me
Because I was there for you when others weren’t
But you were there for me at your own time
And I risked that
Knowing you may not feel the same way about me
STANZA #4 – But I loved you
With every ounce I could give
And you threw me away like I was nothing
You meant everything to me
While I meant nothing to you
STANZA #5 – I ask myself how you could do this
Do this to the one that’s been there threw it all
I love you
I probably always will
And I hate that
