41. O Fear
- By Anisha Joseph
- Published: February 2019
Believe In Yourself

in Fear Poems

You made me run away
from those who loved me anyway.
You pushed me down into the vanity,
blindfolded me from every reality.

You made me run away
from those who loved me anyway.
You pushed me down into the vanity,
blindfolded me from every reality.

I thought I wasn't good enough.
You made my existence so tough.
O fear, now I realize, it was all a bluff,
and you have already played enough.

I lost many opportunities,
and now that I am sure of my priorities,
I believe I will break through
as life always gives a next chance to you.

Remember to rise up, and it's okay to fall.
This world around you can't define you at all.
Be courageous, have an ambition.
Be ready to go beyond every limitation.

Building a wall of fear
will keep you in the dark forever,
keeping you unaware of
what you are capable of.

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.

43. All Because Of You

Poem About Starting Anew

in Change Poems

My life is changing.
The life that I've had,
It's changing forever,
But no need to be sad.

My life is changing.
The life that I've had,
It's changing forever,
But no need to be sad.

It's time to move on,
Time to start anew.
I jumped from the nest.
With some trouble, I flew.

I might hit a few bumps,
Maybe made a wrong turn,
But all of those troubles
Are lessons I'll learn.

So as my life changes,
I hope that you'll see
It's you who I'll credit
For the life that I lead.

44. 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.

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.

46. The Calling

Poem Describing Being At The Ocean

in Ocean Poems

The waves whisper to me, calling me to the soft sand.
The water sweeps over my feet, surrounding where I stand.

The breeze caresses my face, whips my hair.

The waves whisper to me, calling me to the soft sand.
The water sweeps over my feet, surrounding where I stand.

The breeze caresses my face, whips my hair.
The wind encloses my body, acknowledging I'm there.

The clouds clotting out the sun, turning gray with anger.
The sky no longer blue, a clear warning of danger.

The rain pelting my skin, as cold as ice.
The water seeping in my bones, undeniably concise.

The world calling to me, pulling me out.
The atmosphere thicker, it's my sorrow no doubt.

The waves grew higher, crashed over my head.
The breath blown away, unmistakably dead.

School Bully

in Bullying Poems

I am like everyone else
I wonder why no one understands me
I hear the whispers
I hear 'em laugh

I am like everyone else
I wonder why no one understands me
I hear the whispers
I hear 'em laugh
I can see the cruel jokes as I pass by
I pretend not to hear

I am like everyone else
I feel all alone
Will they ever see

I touch lives of everyone around me
I dream of happier times

I am like everyone else
I understand that people are different
I hope everyone else will see
I try to be the best I can be
I am like everyone else

Poem About The Beauty Of The Sea

in Ocean Poems

ever changing, constant
rhythmic and random
silence, full of sound
like cold water

ever changing, constant
rhythmic and random
silence, full of sound
like cold water
soothes my soul

gull cry awakens
saline cleanses
and vastness dwarfs
as I sit and breathe
the hearty air

sometimes I talk
and the waves listen
but mostly the waves talk
while I sit still

Poem About A Miserable Life

in Anger Poems

Standing in self-hatred,
drowning in my tears.
Looking back on my life,
what I've been through the past 18 years.

Standing in self-hatred,
drowning in my tears.
Looking back on my life,
what I've been through the past 18 years.
Living in my brother's shadow,
everything I do and say,
wishing somehow things would change,
praying for a way.
Same old crap just another day,
living this evil life that was created just for me.
Starving for love, affection, and attention,
I know none of this is how it's really supposed to be.
I try to be strong,
even though I feel so weak.
Feel like just giving up,
but I won't accept that level of defeat.
Pretend like I'm always happy,
although I'm never really okay.
Waiting for this pain to end,
that I feel every stupid day.
It's hard to say what's wrong,
when nothing's going right.
Hard to keep myself going,
when I've been blinded by sight.
This pain is never ending,
it just goes on and on and on.
It's all so unbelievably real,
I just wish it all was gone.
Trying to pick myself up,
when I've fallen so far and hard.
But I don't know where I'm going,
It's all so very dark.
My heart is weak, my emotions sore,
I do my best to never let it show.
But deep down inside I feel like,
I'm dying and nobody knows.
A lot of messed up thoughts
run through my head constantly.
I just wish I didn't live
this life of MISERY!

50. Can You Hear Me?
- By Nichole Kay Milgate
- Published: February 2009
in Anger Poems

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

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?

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!

52. Life Will Never Wait

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.

Poem About Horrible Depression

in Depression Poems by Teens

She is happy and friendly,
People say every day.
Shy but happy,
And loving, they say.

She is happy and friendly,
People say every day.
Shy but happy,
And loving, they say.

But if they looked closer,
Into her eyes,
They would see all the pain,
The pain she lives through and hides.

Why can't they see into
The poor girl's soul?
The girl who suffers bullying
But no one is told.

She hides it well,
Never tells anyone.
But when no one is there,
She lets the tears run.

She cries and screams,
All day and all night.
But if someone is there,
She hides it in fright.

No one knows the pain,
Because of her mask.
She lives through each day,
Impossible tasks.

She hopes that soon
She will be OK.

Many of my friends are special

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
