    in Death Poems by Teens

    You said you would always be here for me
    But you left as soon as God came calling
    You said you would be there the day I graduate
    And that I would hear you scream my name as I went by

    My mother left me when I was 13. It broke my heart. She was the guiding factor in my life and then...she was gone. I still mourn her, and it had been 16 years.

    in Fear Poems

    Trees, trees, trees
    Branches, sticks, leaves
    Whipping, gashing, slashing at my arms
    I can't get away, no matter how fast I run

    Glittering eyes, full of smiles
    Happy and proud all the way around

    in Hurting Poems

    I want to write about how you make me feel,
    How every time I see your face I know that you're real.

    in Flower Poems

    No matter where you see a Red Rose
    Whether it's in a store or wild and free
