    since the day that I was born

  3. 22. Suffocating

    I wrote this poem when it seemed like my whole life was closing in around me and everything that could possibly go wrong was happening to me. I was losing my family, my friends, everyone who I cared about. And I couldn't seem to see the bright side to any of it. Things are starting to get better now though. It will never be the same again though. Nothing could ever erase all the things that happened...and that will never change.

    The clouds are rolling in
    And I can't see the sun
    The raindrops seem to shatter
    Any good that has become

  5. 23. Darkness Befalls

    This is about when life is at its darkest moment and waiting for the light to shine through.

    Gliding deep into the forest
    Darkness covers me like a blanket
    And the mist surrounding me
    I feel like there's no way to flee

  6. 24. Hope Behind The Shadows Of Pain

    Some people hurt us in many ways. They leave us alone to suffer from a miserable life. But no matter what pain we are in, we still have faith, and we hope that our lives will be lightened in a way that we'll be free from the shadows of loneliness and pain. Yes, there is always hope for every darkness in our lives. We just need to have hope and believe we can be free from such pain.

    In some people's pretty eyes
    There's a great painful disguise,
    Disguise that dressed their lonely heart
    With devastating cuts that ever hurt.

  7. 25. Reality

    This poem was written for my best friend Tiauna. The meaning of it was for her to relate. Whenever she writes poems, it touches me in a way that my own poems don't. And the same thing goes for when I write poems.

    Your crimson tears stay flowing,
    But your singing voice stays calm,
    It's like you're catching raindrops,
    They keep their shape while resting in your palms.

  9. 27. Aerialist

    Sylvia Plath lived in both the United States and England during her life. Most of the poems written by Plath were crafted in the last months of her life. This poem was written on her 30th birthday, just a few months before her death in 1963.

    Each night, this adroit young lady
    Lies among sheets
    Shredded fine as snowflakes
    Until dream takes her body

  10. 28. Underwater

    I had written this two years ago. I was sitting with my friends, and we were laughing about something, but I remember how hollow I felt on the inside. I remember feeling lost and sad - feelings I'm sure many of us go through. They may sound clichéd, but that doesn't make them any less real or any less of a suffering.

    I wrote this to put words to those feelings. I hope that anyone out there having similar experiences knows that they're not alone, that they're understood, and that it gets better.

    I can't hear the noises around me
    Over the silent voices inside my head.
    I don't feel the ache that should come
    When I laugh with my friends.
