41. Live In The Now
- By Lenora McWhorter
- Published: July 2018
Encouragement To Live In The Moment

in Inspirational Poems

Look not back on yesterday
or what you have left behind.
For only today is yours to claim,
and this moment only is your time.

Look not back on yesterday
or what you have left behind.
For only today is yours to claim,
and this moment only is your time.

Fret not on what has been
or on what has passed you by.
Yesterday is far behind you.
You can't change it if you try.

New opportunities await you.
They come with each new day,
so look ahead with faith and hope,
and blessings will come your way.

Keep faith alive in your heart.
Live full and live well each day.
Do all the good for all you can
to all those who pass your way.

Yesterday is out of your reach
and tomorrow is not yours to claim.
Only this moment belongs to you.
So use it wisely, in Jesus' name.

42. Burning Sensation
- By Eboni Allisha Uneik Church
- Published: February 2008
Letting Feelings Out Poem

in Hurting Poems by Teens

This emotion runs deep,
Deeper than words can speak.
A burning sensation held deep inside her heart.
She knew she had to feel it some day from the start.

This emotion runs deep,
Deeper than words can speak.
A burning sensation held deep inside her heart.
She knew she had to feel it some day from the start.
But now that she felt it, she thinks it will never let go.
Held deep inside her, you never see it; it will never show.
These feelings she held for so long.
Trapping herself in the dark, forgetting right or wrong.
Her heart cries when she thinks of this emotion.
Trying to tell this depression, yet she starts choking.
She's not joking, words unspoken, still...
No emotion...showing.

43. The Ocean

Power And Beauty Of The Ocean

in Ocean Poems

It roars like a lion,
Yet so calm and sincere,
Like a refined diamond.
Much beauty lurks here.

It roars like a lion,
Yet so calm and sincere,
Like a refined diamond.
Much beauty lurks here.

It's in the ocean you find true beauty,
Where worlds hide in the deep.
The ocean is where you find mystery,
Where things live, die, and sleep.

The ocean is where you go to ponder.
It relaxes the mind, body, and soul.
In the ocean I often wander.
It helps me focus on my goal.

44. Pushed Away

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.

45. Portrait Of Fall
- By Alora M. Knight
- Published: September 2017
Poem About The Beauty Of Autumn

in Fall Poems

Looking out my window
In October's golden light,
I see a beauty unsurpassed,
A truly lovely sight.

Looking out my window
In October's golden light,
I see a beauty unsurpassed,
A truly lovely sight.

Leaves are saying soft good-byes
As they come floating down
To make a nature's carpet
Of yellow, red, and brown.

Mountain tops, now turned to white,
Forewarn of winter chills,
While trees, like golden rivers,
Wind their way up through the hills.

Throughout our world's creation
You will ever find it thus,
Kaleidoscopes of color,
In God's hand, the artist's brush.

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.

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

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.

51. 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?

Poem About Starting Anew

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.

53. The Happy Girl

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.

54. O Fear

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.

Poem From Daughter Why Can't You Love Me

Why can't you love me and accept me for who I am?

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?
