“Heartless”
Shari Forman Mar 2013
It was my father who left me,
To discover a place of his own,
Lonely, but dishearten I felt,
For a place called “unknown.”
Baffled was I,
As to why he suddenly left me,
I trembled alone in fear,
Was I a goner soon to be?
Where have my hopes gone?
Withered away to stone,
Leaving nothing but the past,
For a place called, “unknown.”
Why do I feel resentment?
My father had a horrifying tone,
Had left me heartbroken,
For a place called, “unknown.”
My heart beats like thunder,
As I shiver to the bone,
My father ruined me,
For a place called, “unknown.”
Where will I go from here?
Too much my father had shown,
A martyr my father will always be,
For a place called, “unknown.”

“Aberration”
Shari Forman Mar 2013
You were once something believable,
Who had empathy towards many,
Who could sympathize with the less fortunate,
One who taught legendary morals in life.

You were once brilliant,
Who always helped and never hindered,
You were once blessed by sacred God to become desirable,
Until you had excessive desires for illusions.

You were once goal oriented,
Until you become a monster for all the wrong reasons,
You were incapable  of handling peer pressure of tons in need,
And became Psychotic over your own thoughts.

You were once baffled by your own thoughts,
Yet now there is no path to take home,
You’ve entered penalty and death,
There’s not a word to help.

You were once a leader,
Fearless and brave,
Who took a turn in following the path of your gut,
Saying you couldn’t help thee anymore.

You were once a legend of excitement,
Who later should’ve followed your heart,
For you knew all along what was right,
But fooled by mental agony and torture.

"Temptations"
Shari Forman Jun 2013
There's a saying,
"You never know, unless you try,"
Though some things may stand beyond your reach;
Lettin all this time pass you by.
Can you imagine your faults?
Or exceed expectations?
If you're going at it alone,
From overpowering temptations.
Life is a bridge,
Where you either stand or fall,
But never imagined,
So frail and small.

He picked up the glass,
Right up to his lips,
He closed his eyes and clenched his teeth,
As he took consecutive short sips.
He put down the glass,
And sank down in his chair,
As he contemplated his thoughts,
Of every wound, every tear.
He looked through the glass,
And saw his reflection on one side,
But why did he have to see himself this way?
As he put his head down and cried.
He drank his sorrows away,
And emptied the glass soon enough,
He couldn't bear drinking alone,
When the times do get rough.

"A Broken Heart"
Shari Forman Jul 2013
My family depicts a broken heart,
But it is my heart that has shattered,
My heart that fought to become happy,
My heart that truly mattered.
A broken heart can never be fixed; only strengthened,
And I wonder why I have a difficult life,
How I'm always forcing happiness into my heart,
Actual feelings of hard work, pain, and strife.
I make myself cry,
A broken heart not healed,
I ponder my former thoughts,
That have tightly shut and sealed.
But if I died a smart girl,
Causing her own pain every day,
I would have some form of life,
Where I would surely be okay.
I can't control others; only myself,
And I made many mistakes I will forever regret,
But a broken heart remains sealed,
And to never forget.

He ran until he could no more,
Insipid pawprints, on all fours.
He was instantly taken aback,
Thinking they'd attack!
But fooled by him,
His reflectin oh, so grim!
He pranced through the night,
Out of his own hidden fright.
Yet it wasn't until,
He solemnly stood still.
But there had not been a sound,
As he foolishly turned back around.
If he only knew he was not the same,
Would he experiance no shame.
But he walked unwillingly amongst the night,
With not a sound heard, not a sole in sight.

"A Broken Heart"
Shari Forman Mar 2013
A broken heart cannot be fixed,
Sitting on the edge of despair,
Crying out for love and warmth,
Every would implanted, every tear.
Every day it hurts deep inside,
Knowing you're gone tears aggressively at my will,
A major piece of me has magically vanished,
As I gradually become ill.
A broken heart has endless questions,
Bland serentiy embodies me,
I make an effort to form a deformed smile,
I'm permanently heartbroken, you see.

"A dreamy mind"
Shari Forman Mar 2013
When I first look in your eyes,
My heart beats unbelievably fast,
The rush of excitement I feel,
Like every moment was our last.
It hurts to not always have you with me,
For you give me complete strength and love,
I feel extremely comfortable with you,
And not just referring to “above.”
I love you for who you are,
For you just being yourself around me,
I have a lot of appreciation towards you,
I’m thankful, you see.
You are constantly on my mind,
I feel really special and content with you,
You put the biggest smile on my face,
I proudly commend you for all you do.
I feel like a different person around you,
You truly mean more than anything to me,
I love every funny to romantic aspect about you,
I love you, you see.
You bring me suspense,
And you have my heart,
I’m grateful to share my love with you,
And never to part.

"My Sweet Love"
Shari Forman Apr 2013
There is no other boy like you,
Such brilliance and warmth you hold,
There is no other human,
I'd rather unfold.
My heart cries out for your love,
From so close, yet so far away,
I imagine you and I connected as one,
Loving you deeper and more, every day.
I sit and ponder about your ways,
How fortunate I am to have met you,
How assiduous and affectionate you truly are,
How my every wish miraculously came true.
I stand atop a hill with you,
Embracing you with loving arms,
I have so much gratitude for a boy like you,
With such unique quality and many charms.
Your great sense of humor,
Never ceases to amaze me,
Laughing so hard and for so long,
Always expressing freely.
We've had some inside jokes,
For which I'd rather not name names,
But all were quite interesting,
New and cute little games.
I can never forget the time we first met,
You smashed that tennis ball right at my behind,
And a note that asked, "Will you go out with me?"
I would never decline.
I've always loved your personality,
And so much more,
The endless days that hurt inside,
Are the best days we've yet to explore.
I've wanted to tell you for so long,
That I honestly love you so much,
And when we're apart,
We will always keep in touch.
You help my heart to keep on beating,
I've found true love; there's no doubt,
For you are the only boy,
I constantly dream about.
So I now stand atop a hill with the one I love,
With sparkling eyes and a luminous smile,
I'll always have you with me,
And make every day worth while.

"Horrors of Anxiety"
Shari Forman May 2013
What the heck am I going to do this summer?
I've always had something planned out,
But when I was told I had mono,
My summer plans changed.
I cannot do lifeguarding now,
And I've called several places,
I'm supposed to be studying for two tests tomorrow,
So I didn't goto track today.
I'm dealing with acne on my face,
I'm extremely tired,
I'm always under stress.
If I'm not under stress,
I  feel as if I have nothing to do,
And I'll get depressed.
I still have the regents,
And finals,
And tests,
And homework.
I recently got my license,
But I have yet to drive.
I'm tired,
I'm tired...
I constantly worry.
When I try to take a day off,
And let myself relax,
I feel like nothing,
Like I have absolutely nothing to do.
Why am I writing a poem,
When I'm supposed to be studying?
I had an idea of where I'd like to go to college,
But now I'm clueless.
I need someone to tell me everything will be fine,
That I'll have plently to do,
That I'm a sweet, special girl.
I hope I play tennis again in the summer.
I hope I get the volunteer job.
But I haven't handed the form in yet...
Could it be too late?
How can I calm down?
Can can I ever calm down?
Life is too hard for me,
I wish I cold do more than I can,
And I push myself more than I can.
I sometimes feel dead,
Brainfired,
Tired.
Just tired.
Why am I itching my face?
Because it's all red,
From the sun beating down on it each day at track.
I have it all,
But I feel as if I have nothing.
I'm not depressed,
I'm not suicidal,
I'm not even sad...
I feel empty suddenly,
And constantly tired.

Because of something unexpected;

What I have to go through again,
Just to become a lifeguard.

"Speech Poem"
Shari Forman Jul 2013
What is truthful

Don't ever give up your life,
For the one you care very much about,
Because the others are left with everything but *you
,
Feelings of sorrow, rage, and doubt.
Why did you abandon our family?
Why did you neglect every one of us?
Now only you can tell us why,
There's decreased love, and abandoned trust.
Don't ever let him make you feel inferior,
Losing grip of your dreams,
Because you are nothing but youself,
Or so it seems.
Don't force love into your heart,
It gives love a great shove,
But if you comfort each other,
That's true love.
You cannot change him,
Only he, himself, is able to,
So do what your heart desires,
Pursuing what you want, and what you choose.
Love is omnipotent,
And can only be felt by you;
In only a matter of time,
Will your love appear true.

To get to where I am now...
Shari Forman Jun 2013
As the golden sun sets,
My eyes tear and sparkle with joy,
The burning torture of the day; gone,
And now the white light to enjoy.
I sit at the stroke of midnight,
Eyeing beautiful lights up in the night sky,
Thousands; millions enraptured my acceptance,
Watching is a privilege, yet not to fly.
There is more to be seen,
For tiny stars are resting above me,
They call on me as to do a favor,
I am to count these stars,
Every one I see.
Yet the beauty gets more intense,
Of newer, bigger stars forming,
Yet my ears follow another sound,
There becomes grayness for storming!
Stars faded one by one,
Some vanished in a row,
For this was no joke,
Nor any show!
The most widely know star,
Burned the cloud,
For whatever tiny stars were left cheered,
The night seemed so proud.

Shari Forman Jun 2013
He left me deserted in a field of endless fog,
Turned the car around and left me,
All because I whispered, "I hate you,"
And so desperately yearned to rome free.
So I walk through the unknown,
With only the clothes on my back,
But where was I going?
For I hadn't kept track.
I looked of the colors green, blue and purple,
Of endless bruises everywhere,
My back, face, neck, and heart,
And desperate love, in the air
Why should I cry my misery away?
Too exhausted from all the pain,
I'm too hurt for love,
That marked its permanent stain.
Haven't cracked a smile in years,
Since my father exploited me,
Feelings that I was worthless controlled me,
I am heartbroken, you see.
Who am I anymore?
Isolated in the midst of despair,
Hurt on the outside and inside,
Every wound inplanted, ever tear.
I walked through a path of misery,
Comtemplating a life I never had,
A life that shrouded my mind,
From an ashamed, cold-hearted dad

Shari Forman May 2013
I have absolutely nothing to do this summer,
I feel like dying because my mom is driving me up the wall,
My boyfriend never texts me anymore,
I have many insecurities I can't handle,
Mono ruined my whole **** summer,
Now it's impossible to find a job apparently,
I haven't played tennis in over six months,
Though I enjoy track because I have a few friends,
I HATE my ****,
I break everything,
I shy and I don't even realize it,
I fake a smile every day,
I'm going to fail my impossible US History and Government regents,
Not being melodramatic because it's so difficult,
Nothing ever works out for me,
Maybe if I **** myself,
My boyfriend will realize how much pain I'm in,
And how much I need him,
Maybe then,
I can finally get him to open up to me.
This is the first summer I have NOTHING to do,
After a stressful year,
I feel I'm not good enough for my boyfriend,
And I'm all alone when I need to express my feelings.

Pursuing such unique careers,
Cost a fortune; not a penny.

Filled of laughter set by younger ones,
The memorable days of homework,
Yes, there were tons!
Life tells of a novel,
In which humanity grows,
Successful or not,
God Always knows.
Being able to succeed in a future life,
Is no folly, yet a gift,
Taking chances and risking pure life,
Would be a great shift.

It will try its best

As we wander through the open doors.
Jogging endlessly on the golden sand,
Exploring happily, across the land.
Gazing into each other’s eyes,
Feeling our love increase in size.
Holding each other tightly,
Whispering slightly.
Our lips attached,
The perfect match.
Chemistry building up,
Like a playful, little pup.
The deepest emotions two share,
In which nothing can compare.
I’m blessed to have found love,
From paradise, up above.
So sacred to treasure,
Endless pleasure.
Desirable qualities in each of us,
Never a complain, nor a fuss.
A heart lifted as high as the sun,
Laughing, socializing, and having fun.

Such unique quality, it does bring.
Nothing will ever surpass the beauty of love,

As clear as the sea,
As visible as light,

You help me to see,
That we are a whole,
That I’m not broken,
That we’re in control.

Where our fate lies ahead,
I’m bound to fall hard for you,
I might tell it to you instead.
Our love exceeds a thousand miles,
Romantic as a glass of wine,
As we learn and laugh endlessly,
Is when I see us shine.
Sweet o’ valentine,
I love you ever more,
Sweet o’ valentine,
Look at us soar.
Beyond the barbed wire and gate,
I see a shadow of only two,
Inseparable and complete,
For Zach, I truly love you.
I can tell you just how I feel,
Not only from a work of art,
Not just through words,
But through my beating heart.

"Home"
Shari Forman Jun 2013
Nothing more disgusts me,
Than living with my brother and father,
And an inadequate mother.

"The reality of my life"
Shari Forman Apr 2013
I saw an irish wolf hound,
It was my teacher.
I landed of the yellow sand,
It was my pillow.
I ate an apple,
It was a chocolate chip cookie.
I ran into my x,
It was only a movie.
I took a stroll with my boyfriend,
It was more of the "exciting" times.
I studied for hours,
It was just a huge bump on the head.
I looked down at the floor,
It was really knives being thrown to my chest.
I lied for the first time,
It was complete anxiety.
I said the words,"I love you,"
And my fortune magically came true.
