    I want someone to hold me,
    But I'm the only one here.
    I want someone to listen to me,
    But I'm the only ear.

    in Hurting Poems by Teens

    I've lied way too many times today.
    I've lied again and again directly to your face.
    I never thought I'd be this way.
    I thought I'd always be okay.

    How am I supposed to trust You
    When You feel so far away?
    How can I grow closer to You
    When it is here I am forced to stay?

    I know this feeling well. I have been there a few times. In a way, I feel like that now. For me, when I was so, so lost I picked a church in my town and went one Sunday and sat in the back...

    in Poems about Spirituality

    What a pathetic girl, staring back into the mirror.
    What a timid girl, overcome by fear.
    What a shell of a girl, locked up inside.
    What a forgotten girl, pushed off to the side.

    in Hurting Poems by Teens

    The rain is pouring down again,
    And for that she thanks God.
    Maybe it will wash away the burning stain
    That's hurting her heart tonight.

    A life that is broken,
    A life that doesn't make sense,
    A life that can be forgotten
    With only a paper and a pen.

  • The Walking Dead

    This poem was written during a long and hard season of depression. It expresses the deadness and emptiness that accompany depression. When I was in this phase, I felt like everyone was blind to the pain and despair going on inside of me. No one checked on me or asked how I was doing, because to the outside world, I had my life together. I was a 4.0 student and an all around good teen. I did not need help, so people usually left me to fend for myself. As a result, I was deeply lonely.

    "How are you?" ask the blinded eyes
    "I'm doing good." comes the cheerful reply
    Across my face a smile is painted
    One that looks perfect and untainted
