Poems

I love writing poems! here are a few that I wrote today.

Decisions

Choices.
they fill up your life
nothing else can be thought
what? why? how?
pen and paper, this is my solution
I put my emotions into the lines
of poems
no one knows what its like,
to be facing decisions
about my life and my values
WHY?!?
Why do they not care
about my life and what I believe
I hate them
No.
I hate their actions
I hate their attitude towards my life
HOW?!?
How can I tell them?
About my hatred towards their attitude
towards my life
They're like a prison
that wont let you go
it won't listen
they don't care
But they will listen
to one thing
poems are my answer
it makes them listen more than words ever can
it makes me cry on the inside
but not on the outside
they might say sorry
but they won't change
They won't stop abusing drugs
they won't stop dating and making out
they won't care that the one they "love" is using pot.
But my pen and my paper, this is my dream.
My outlet.


Writing

Even if it's hard
I have to keep going
writing writing writing
its what I love to do
its what i want to do
all the time
never stopping
the possibilities are endless
all claustrophobics are free here
don't be afraid to tell others things
that you don't want to tell them personally
through writing
it's what I do
So you should


Friends

Friends can uplift you
help you
hurt you
Friends can destroy you
and kill you slowly
Friends can disapoint you
let you down
put you down
They can rip your insides out
and use them
as stepping stools
be careful with your friends
choose those that help you
not disapoint or destroy you
don't make my mistake
because if you "show me a man's friends
I will show you the man


These poems are based on my life and they have tons of emotions behind them. Today in Language Arts I read these poems and I almost cried (well I did afterwards) during the first one. I hope you like them!

  1. Did you write these yourself, or try to explain what you were feeling, as you were reading something else? Brayden...these are some deep writings. You are good with your words. Thanks for sharing. You take after your dad.
