41. Life Will Never Wait
- By Elizabeth A Cox
- Published: July 2018
Poem About Make A Life Change

in Inspirational Poems by Teens

I used to be that girl,
The one who hid in the shadows,
The one who hid her face from others,
The one who drowned in her tears.

I used to be that girl,
The one who hid in the shadows,
The one who hid her face from others,
The one who drowned in her tears.

I thought that no one cared.
I watched the other kids as they grouped up.
I was always the outsider, the loner,
But that was my choice.

I chose to be alone.
I chose to cry in the shadows.
I chose to suffer.
It was all me.

I have to realize people aren't going to come to me
They don't have to.
I need to stop rejecting people.
I need to let them into my life.

For one day I will grow old,
And I might need people by my side.
Life may be full of people,
But life isn't going to bring people my way.

I need to get out there and talk to them myself.
Life is not going to wait for me to get out of my shell.
It's my choice to open up while I'm still young and youthful
Or when I'm old and on my death bed.

Time ticks by.
It will never wait.
That's why it's good to make your choice
Before it's too late.

For life is short,
And tomorrow is never promised,
So take that chance to make a friend
Just in case you don't make it to see another day.

42. I Wish I Could Cry
- By Amanda
- Published: June 2012
in Hurting Poems by Teens

I just wish I could break down,
let it all out, finally be found.

I'm tired of hiding from what hurts;

I just wish I could break down,
let it all out, finally be found.

I'm tired of hiding from what hurts;
either way, I still feel like dirt.

I hate the fact that I can't cry.
Day by day I'll sit and try.

But it's all somewhere inside,
refusing to come out, choosing to hide.

If I could only show my true feelings,
my head might stop its constant drilling.

How great it would be to relax,
look forward to the future and forget about the past.

When will it happen? I don't know,
but I'm ready for this moment, let the pain show.

How much is it going to take
for me to finally give in and let my wall break.

One day I'll look up and stare at the sky
and fully break down, finally feel myself cry.

43. Pushed Away
- By Maria
- Published: March 2017
Poem Looking For A Higher Purpose

in Feelings Poems by Teens

I want to be brave.
I want to be smart.
I want to be saved.
I want a new start.

I want to be brave.
I want to be smart.
I want to be saved.
I want a new start.

I'm constantly being pushed,
Pushed to the edge.
Knock me down, now I'm crushed.
I'm falling over the ledge.
People tell me it's going to be all right,
But how much longer do I have to fight?

I know I have a purpose in life,
But how do I reach it when I'm trapped?
Nothing to do but wish into the night.
When I ask, it's never too far from being denied.
Save me or join me; just don't say no.
I promise I won't let you go.

We're not too far behind now.
A little further up is where our future lies.
Change is something I want to allow.
From here on out, all I'll do is rise.
Lord, I need the faith.
I need the strength.

44. Blind
- By Jack Mcifco
- Published: July 2008
I'm Not Like You

in Anger Poems

You are blind.
You can never see
All the anger built up in me.
I hated life,

You are blind.
You can never see
All the anger built up in me.
I hated life,
I wanted out.
You didn't care.
You would just shout.

I felt so alone,
Thought I didn't need anyone.
Turns out I just needed a mum.

The black sheep,
I was never a part,
Furthest away from your heart.
Things have changed.
I'm growing old.
I don't need you;
You still feel cold.

I'm now out of sight,
Out of mind.
I don't need you, I'll do all right.
I don't need your blessing
Or your cash.
Without your help I'll make a splash,
Land on my feet with a crash.

I'm happier than ever.
My life's brand new,
And most of all,
I'm not like you.

Poem Dealing With Painful Feelings On Your Own

in Feelings Poems by Teens

I'm surrounded by people who say they care,
But when I really need them, they suddenly aren't there.

I feel so empty sitting in a dark room all alone.

I'm surrounded by people who say they care,
But when I really need them, they suddenly aren't there.

I feel so empty sitting in a dark room all alone.
I can't even imaging ever calling this place I see a home.

People say they understand, but I know that's a lie,
For if they did, they would know what it's like to emotionally die.

So I deal with this pain every day,
Hoping in the near future everything will turn out okay.

Life is a long-distance journey
With ups and downs,
Twist and turns,
With sad and happy moments.
It begins with a single step.

Never become a coward in life;
Face the problems with strong determination,
With a smile on your lips.
Be brave and courageous in life.
Set your aim with a strong mindset.
Hope for the best and reach your goal.

Be an optimist and see the positive side of life.
Keep smiling.
Do not miss any opportunity.
Grab all those you get and move on the path of success,
As life is a long race that begins with a single step.

silence, full of sound

I have known a million people
But never like you
Many of my friends are special
But I still don't have a clue
How you got to be so wonderful
The worlds most perfect friend
You've always loved me and helped me
Even when I was wrong
I'm sorry that I've hurt you
I'm sorry I made you cry
I will do my very best to make you proud
I promise I will try
Everyone sees hardship
And everyone feels pain
And if anyone knows it's you and me
The sun will shine through rain
You've given me so much
That words enough
To say how much I love you
I'm trying and it's tough
With out you I'd be nowhere
You believed in me no matter what
My arms are always open
I promise they will never shut
I have more respect for you
Than anyone alive
And my shoulder is always here
If you ever need to cry
Everything will turn out fine
Because I love you
Until the day I die

Enjoying The Beautiful Autumn Season

in Fall Poems

Misty mornings, frosted lawns
The wind is blowing a winter's song.

Changing colors of the leaves,

Misty mornings, frosted lawns
The wind is blowing a winter's song.

Changing colors of the leaves,
Slowly falling from the trees.

Soon the trees will all be bare,
Offering no shelter taken there.

So gather up the summer's harvest,
For darker days are now upon us!

Poem From Daughter Why Can't You Love Me

Why can't you love me and accept me for who I am?
I always try my hardest; I do the best I can.
Can't you see how sad I've been?
The way you treated me must have been a sin.

Why can't you love me and accept me for who I am?
I always try my hardest; I do the best I can.
Can't you see how sad I've been?
The way you treated me must have been a sin.
For a long time, I've tried to make you proud.
But instead of encouraging words, I get put down.
Stop trying to live my life for me.
I'm not a kid anymore, damn it, just let me be.
You don't like my friends, boyfriend, or anything I do.
Tell me, what the hell did I ever do to you?
You married a jerk who disrespects me.
You always take his side and turn against me.
I've moved in with my dad and Joan.
They welcomed me with open arms; this is my new home.
They treat me with respect, and they love me for me.
No matter what, I'm here for them, and they're here for me.
I've never felt this happy before; happiness for me was rare.
Now that I'm happy in this new life of mine, do you even care?

As the day ends to rest
The sunset does its best

As the day ends to rest
The sunset does its best
Setting on fire the lively waves

The burning sun who's going to leave.

Devouring that magic light:
we are still suspended in a great delight.

Poem About An Album Of Memories

Memories in my life fade away

Memories in my life fade away
As I replace them with others.
They are forgotten and stored away.
Although the memories are pushed to the side,
They are safe so I may remember them in the future.
Our mind is like a book;
It writes down important things and keeps them between the pages forever.
Maybe our whole album of memories:
Our first steps, first love, first grief, and others
Were meant to be there for us to never forget.

I am someone who wears her heart on her sleeve.
I am someone who gets taken advantage of.
I am someone who has never had a kiss on New Year's Eve.
I am someone who is ready to fall in love.

I am someone who believes in honesty and trust.
I am someone who loves what she does.
I am someone who believes self-happiness and love are a must.
I am someone who tries to be fair and just.

I am someone who can be your grand slam.

This is who I am.

Where were you when the tears fell?

Where were you when I was scared?
When all my skies were gray

Where were you when the tears fell?
When the blood began to flow?
Where were you when I was scared?
When all my skies were gray
And I lost all hope?
Where were you through all the years?
When it all began?
Where were you when I was hurt and bleeding, when I needed you?
Where were you when I was sad and in jail?
When there was no strength left,
And where the hell are you now?

When it all came down and the walls were crashing in,
All was lost and gone, and when I fought?

Where were you when I stayed up and cried myself to sleep each night
And I tossed and turned?
And where are you now?
That I'm stuck and there's nowhere to turn?
So I ask you this, where will you be
When the walls come down again?
Where will you turn when the tables turn
And there is no where to hide or no one to blame?
