My Morals Define Me
- Published: August 2008
Empowering Poem About Self-Acceptance

in Inspirational Poems

I have never done drugs and never will.
I don't give into peer pressure.
I believe that drugs are lame.
Drugs cause you to make irresponsible decisions.

I have never done drugs and never will.
I don't give into peer pressure.
I believe that drugs are lame.
Drugs cause you to make irresponsible decisions.
I'd rather be high on life than high on drugs.
I choose not to harm my body with illegal substances.
I do what I want and if this makes me a loser, then so be it.

I am proud to be a virgin.
I'm not ditzy or dumb.
I don't believe everything I am told.
Abstinence is the key, so I believe.
I am not ready for a child nor disgusting diseases.
My virginity is my sanctuary.
If this makes me a loser, then so be it.

Violence is never the answer.
Physical disputes are pointless and solve nothing.
It is unnecessary and a waste of time.
I shall never stoop down to that level of immaturity.
I'd rather walk away and be the bigger person.
If this makes me a loser, then so be it.

Being a party girl is not who I am.
Partying is not what life is all about.
Life does not revolve around alcohol, drugs, and music.
There are more important things in life than parties.
I have the rest of my life to party;
For now I choose to focus on my future and career.
If this makes me a loser, then so be it.

I don't need to dress like a hoochie to get attention.
I am classy not trashy.
I'd rather be noticed for my intelligence than my looks.
I choose to have dignity and respect for my body.
I'd rather be liked for who I am than for what I look like.
If this makes me a loser, then so be it.

I am not a follower.
I control my own mind and make my own decisions.
I stand up for what I believe in and defend my opinions.
I'd rather be hated for being myself than liked for someone I am not.
If this makes me a loser, then so be it.

I am unique and one of a kind.
I am who I am
And will never change for anyone.
I will always be me, now and forever.
If this makes me a loser, then maybe I am.

I Needed You

Not Getting Love From Mother

in Anger Poems

When I was sad and depressed,
I needed you to be cheer me up.
Instead, I drank till I was numb enough not to feel anything.

When I was sad and depressed,
I needed you to be cheer me up.
Instead, I drank till I was numb enough not to feel anything.

When everyone was attacking me and putting me down, making me feel so low,
I needed you to be the one to defend me and be on my side.
Instead, I endured all the cruel words and criticism the world threw at me.

When I lost all my friends and had no one,
I needed you to be that only friend I had left.
Instead, I experienced what the word "friendless" really meant.

When I was scared and frightened,
I needed you to be my security blanket.
Instead, I had to live in fear.

When I was angry and full of rage,
I needed you to calm me down.
Instead, I kept it all bottled up inside.

When I felt so lonely and needed someone to care,
I needed you to hold me tight and never let me go.
Instead, I grew up alone with no one to turn to.

When I was hurt and in pain,
I needed you to come running with you healing ways.
Instead, I remained scarred and bruised.

When I would inflict self-torture, wanting to die,
I needed you to stop me and tell me how important I was.
Instead, I hid my scars and became oblivious to everyone.

When I would cry myself to sleep at night,
I needed you to wipe the tears away.
Instead, I held my pillow tight while never-ending tears streamed down my face.

When my world was crashing down on me,
I needed you to be the one I ran to.
Instead, I locked myself in my room in complete despair.

When I felt unloved,
I needed you to tell me how much you loved me.
Instead, I learned the words "I love you" are meaningless.

Poems About Being Unique And Special

in Inspirational Poems by Teens

Just because I have never done drugs, doesn't mean I'm not cool.
Just because I am a virgin, doesn't make me lame.
Just because I'm not a fighter, doesn't mean I'm weak.
Just because I am not a party girl, doesn't mean I can't hang.

Just because I have never done drugs, doesn't mean I'm not cool.
Just because I am a virgin, doesn't make me lame.
Just because I'm not a fighter, doesn't mean I'm weak.
Just because I am not a party girl, doesn't mean I can't hang.
Just because I get good grades, doesn't mean I'm a nerd.
Just because teachers like me, doesn't mean I am a teacher's pet.
Just because I am not a rebel, doesn't mean I'm scared.
Just because I am quiet, doesn't mean I don't speak up for what I believe in.
Just because I have morals, doesn't make me a goody two shoes.
Just because I walk away from trouble, doesn't make me a pushover.
Just because I think before I act, doesn't make me a loser.

I am who I am, and this is who I shall forever be.
I do not care what others think of me.
Like me or not, that is your choice.
Accept me for who I am.

It's a really cool poem, kudos to you. Anytime, I think about composing one, I cry buckets instead. Being a teen is really difficult.

Poem On The Absence Of A Mother

in Anger Poems

Why did you do the things you did?
Why did you say the things you said?
Why did you change who you are?
Why did you choose a man over your own daughter?

Why did you do the things you did?
Why did you say the things you said?
Why did you change who you are?
Why did you choose a man over your own daughter?
Why did you hurt me?
Why did you break my heart?
Why did you betray me?
Why did you break your promises?
Why did you have to break up our once "happy family" apart?
Why are you so evil?
Why weren't you there for me?
Why!?

Where were you when I needed you?
Where were you when I was sick?
Where were you when I cried?
Where were you when I was sad?
Where were you when I needed help?
Where were you when I was scared?
Where were you when I was troubled?
Where were you when I had no one?
Where were you when I needed a mother?
Where were you!?

What happened to my mother?
What is wrong with you?
What do you think of?
What are you doing?
What is more important than me?

When are you going to go back to being the mother I once had?
When will you realize what you've done?
When will you take off that blindfold you have?
When will you care?
When!?

Who was there for me when I needed someone...not you!
Who did I go to when I needed help...not you!
Who always encouraged me to do better...not you!
Who was there to wipe my tears away...not you!
Who taught me right from wrong...not you!
Who helped me overcome my fears...not you!
Who showed me the love I needed...not you!

Because of you, it's hard for me to love another person.
Because of you, it's hard for me to have faith in people.
Because of you, it's hard for me trust a soul.
Because of you, I must remain a motherless daughter.
Because of you, it's hard for me to open my heart to others.
Because of you, it's hard for me to believe someone when they say, "I love you."
All because of you!

See what you've done to me!
