Sunshine
When the darkness covers the world
At night, my tears make an appearance.
When I am around you, my forever Sunshine,
you bring the light to this world.
When I am sad, you are the brightness
That guides me through my bad days.
Hopefully, when the right time comes,
And I pray hard enough, my Sunshine
Will return – I will be happy again.
I will no longer be an unhappy girl.
Letter In An Envelope
I was distraught these past four months
when I did not receive a letter.
From you, after you swore to me you
Would write as soon as you could.
That evening after I cried my eyes out,
I went outside to check my mailbox again,
To see if I received any mail that day.
I opened up the mailbox and inside …
Was a letter in an envelope — with your
Name on; it I opened it so fast.
I wept because it meant the world.
You had written me back.
New Beginning
I feel like the negativity just continues
To creep up on me at random times.
Is it so wrong for me to feel like my
Feelings are trapped inside, meddling.
Locked up in a cage? Always too worried
about other people and …
What the world has to think about me.
Maybe it is finally time to start anew.
Beginnings, and moving forward with life,
You just have to be the kindest person.
Tell A Story
I have been dealing with much pain
From past memories, past experiences.
In my life I know I need to move
Forward and try to forget all of them.
Others will not physically, emotionally understand
What I have been through if they have not yet
Experienced it. My past is like ripping off
A Band-Aid fast while still feeling the sting.
That is why I try to tell a story through
My poetry … to send a message to others.
Everbodyś Opion
As we were walking down the street
Heading into the town where we live
I unexpectedly kept on running into
You – not knowing what to expect
When I knew you in the past, everybody
Had an opinion about me in your friend group
It felt like it was Everybody’s Opinion
even though it was not many people.
One day you will realize to keep your opinion
To yourself – because it can really affect people

2024-25 Selections
Can´t Blame Me
You have countless times made me
Doubt myself – ever since I have known you!
Every time I look into the shattered mirror,
I always pick out a feature that I want to change.
This is all because of you.
You cannot blame me for wanting to leave
It felt like there was force pushing against
Our love even though you did not love me
When you meet that special girl I just hope
You do not treat her how you treated me.

You do not treat her how you treated me.
2024-25 School Year
Glass Slipper
Why is it always her and never me?
I feel like I’m a glass house trapped.
I was the one who got to know you.
She only wanted you for popularity.
I knew what kind of music you liked.
I knew what kind of sports you played.
The door was always shut in my face.
There was never room for me, for you.
You wanted to talk to me about this.
I decided that I can’t open a window.
I may not be the perfect girl for you,
but I do know I am the Glass Slipper.
Hurricane
Since I have known you I feel like
You belong in the middle of the eye
Of the hurricane when your lips start
Moving your words flow out of your
Mouth just like when the wind will
Start to blow into a huge storm that
Will never stop storming until you
Have figured out what you have
Said you make me feel like I’m a
Horrible person with your cruel
Mean remarks I have to learn how to
Block out the noise for me to be glad.
Black Dress
It was the evening of the big night
I was getting ready and I was about
To put on my black dress to go out and
Meet you at our beautiful meeting spot,
I arrived and there was no sight of you
I got the message instantly when you
Did not show up like you said you would
It felt like fire was turning into flames inside
Of me I did not know how to react to you
Not showing up. It will be okay at the end
Because you have shown your true colors
And now I know not to contact you again
Tell A Story
I have been dealing with a lot of pain
From past memories that have happened
In my life that I know I need to move
Forward and try to forget all of them
No one will physically understand what
I have been through if you have not yet
Experience it my past is like ripping off
A band-aid really fast while it is stinging
That is why I try to tell a story through
My poetry to send a message to others.
When Am I Good Enough
No matter how short I am not going
To be good enough for anyone ever
No matter how big I am not going to
Be good enough for anyone in my life
No matter how small I am not going
To be perfect for anyone to be happy,
I always seem to ask this question to
Everyone, when am I good enough?
You can’t please everyone in your life
I do know I am good enough for me.
Clean
It has been three years since our last
Contact that we’ve had together
My life has not been peaceful in
A long time that I have been feeling
Greif and I have been moving on with
My life and I have been doing better
Than I have ever before sometimes
All you need is to cut negative girls
Out of your life in order to be happy
And not cry yourself to sleep at night.
Maybe it was worth it being clean I
Earned peace in life and now I can
Say that I have been content with life.
You should never let people hurt you.
Dramatic
We pulled up to a red blinking light,
You and I started to argue again.
I was trying to calmly let you know
How I felt about our arguing.
You told me I was being dramatic
by just letting you know how I felt.
There is one thing in life that I have
Learned is that you should not argue.
Especially with your loved ones because
You should always cherish loved ones.
Unlikely To Happen
After all of these years have gone by
You have never once thought to text me
You have made a huge promise to
Me that you would never hurt me
Every promise you have made to me
Has been a lie that has followed me.
I know that our friendship is unlikely
To happen because of all of the lies
It will take time to earn my trust back
But until then do not make any lies.
Too Sensitive For A Joke
I was walking into school nervously
I had glanced over my right shoulder,
You came racing up to me wanting to
Have a small conversation together
All you have said to me were insults you
Never ever once gave me a compliment
I explained to you that your joke were
Not humorous you had told me that I am
Too sensitive for a joke even though I
Explained to you how I felt about it,
It will be alright because all of these
Memories will fade away into dust.
The Worst Night
You and he were taking photos I
Had asked if I could be in the picture,
You said no she has more followers
I ran up the winding staircase and
I slammed the bathroom door shut
You found me sobbing in the corner
I asked you why does everything
Have to always be about popularity
You hugged me tightly to your chest
I told you this is the worst night ever
