Should've, Could've, Would've
© Emily Greenlee I should've, could've, would've; Done something about that day, If only I had known it ended this way. I am not proud to tell you How I stood there and watched; He was so big and scary Was all that I thought. I couldn't, wouldn't, shouldn't, get involved at all. I say to myself; It's none of my business; As I turn and walk down the hall. I hear on the news; 'bout this kid who had died It tells of his woe; The day of his suicide They talk about how he locked himself inside of his room All to have shot himself to forget all the pain. Now as I walk through my school I hear the laughter But see the fear In their eyes plainly after And I know what their thought could easily be They think to themselves "what if it was me" I could've done something, I could've told someone, I would've, if I hadn't been so afraid. Now I stand here promising If I ever see, This scary and sad sight again I will change my should've, could've, would've Into have, done, and did.

Behind Her Tears
© Jessica Sanches Behind her tears there is anger Behind a brave face there are lies Behind her smile there is sorrow Behind her lip gloss there is fear Never seems to be accepted She smokes and drinks Thinking all her worries will go away They never do She feels as if ‘loser’ has been tattooed all over her She knows they all talk about her She feels there eyes piercing vicious holes through her body A scar she never can get rid of It breaks her soul to know what lies ahead Sometimes she wishes she would just drop dead She wonders to herself what will they gain To see her go through all this pain Alone, scared afraid Look what we have made A sad heart with only one thing To have a happy face Cutting herself each night She is not ready to fight She wishes could all go away She dreads fight another day Always wondering about her weight She never seems touch her plate Am I to fat? My breasts are too small Why can’t I be just the right tall? All she wants is to be loved Is that too much to ask for? She gets taunted and beaten by her stepfather She gets taunted and beaten by her classmates An outcast to society Finally she wants to give up Finally she is tired of all the abuse Finally she has had enough Finally she has given up She walks the creaky staircase Tears flooding her eyes She goes to her mother’s cabinet She pulls out her mother’s sleeping drugs A flash of thoughts rush to her head She remembers the days of mum’s sweet singing She remembers how she use be love She remembers life before dad died She remembers life before mum lied She swallows the drug that’s it she can never come back Another life abused Another life wasted Another torn heart Another life pasted Read more at http://www.bestteenpoems.com/poem/behind-her-tears#68DTqslV2A0s1swc.99 |
Monster
© Salem You think you know me? You don't know the half of it. You think you scare me? I'm just pushing back the wrath again. I'm a beast inside soon you'll see That you don't know the smallest part of me Pushing against the walls within I'm living in anger And drowning in sin Just one drop of blood is all I need To finally set free, The evil thing inside of me. You pushed me too far Now it's your turn To get pushed around, In hell you'll burn I follow you close, Silent like a mouse I wait till you stop outside your house I do it fast, But deadly as a demon Hold you down And know there's no screaming'' I whisper the words of death in your ear Your muffled cries, That no one will hear I hold your head up till I see your throat I sink my teeth in until you choke Your eyes roll back inside of your head One look at you and I hope you are dead Now you're the victim, And I'm the haunter One look at him And I know I'm a monster.

This Is Me
© Mari Bishop This is me. It's all I know how to be. I won't change for you, This me is brand new. You can call me names, But one day I'm gonna have fame. You can beat me down, But still I will not frown. This is who I am, being me, Being all that I can be. Read more at http://www.bestteenpoems.com/poem/this-is-me-be#UZH7Rxz3u8r8Cugc.99 |
