hannah-thacker - Hello Poetry

Don't ask - If that was there in the 1950's... Chances are, it was. Don't ask - Where the Jabberwock is... It is currently whiffling through the Tulgey wood. Don't ask - What normal is... We don't give a Tumtum tree. Don't ask - What a Bandersnatch is... We've been arguing about that since the 1950's. Don't ask - About our Gallbladders... It's one thing we have in common. Don't ask - How to get Raymond started on European history... He'll do it himself. Don't ask - How to say thank you... Just flick the cat off you tongue and get it over with.

Just Don't Ask (Juncosa Family House Rules)

Don't ask - If that was there in the 1950's... Chances are, it was. Don't ask - Where the Jabberwock is... It is currently whiffling through the Tulgey wood. Don't ask - What normal is... We don't give a Tumtum tree. Don't ask - What a Bandersnatch is... We've been arguing about that since the 1950's. Don't ask - About our Gallbladders... It's one thing we have in common.

At the End of My World, I see you walking away. At the End of My World, I see my light leaving me At the End of My World, I see nothing Without You You walked away, saying I couldn't see. You told me I see what I want; You told me I was blinded, that I couldn't see past my longing; You told me my love covered the signs; You explained it was too late, and your mind was made. At the End of My World, I see you walking away. At the End of My World, I see my light leaving me At the End of My World, I see nothing Without You I begged you not to go, I knew how this goes. I knew I couldn't live without you; I knew I would be an empty shell, you didn't believe; I knew I would be ruined by my unrequited love for you; I tried to explain, but it all was in vain. At the End of My World, I see you walking away. At the End of My World, I see my light leaving me At the End of My World, I see nothing Without You Now that you understand it, you regret it. It's too late to save the empty shell; It's too late to help, to repair the damage you caused; It's too late to take it back; Now that it's too late, you rue the day you denied fate. At the End of My World, I see you walking away. At the End of My World, I see my light leaving me At the End of My World, I see nothing Without You At the End of My World; All is clear.

End of My World (Without You)

Remember Remember The days that are lost Remember Remember The lives that are taken Remember Remember The memories, lest they be cast away Remember Remember The ones who feel forgotten Remember Remember When all others choose to forget Remember Remember The choice is yours Remember Remember Don't let the world drown you out.

An empty chair Stares back at me An empty chair Where my friend should be An empty chair Replaces her life An empty chair Symbolizes how she took her life An empty chair Fills my view An empty chair Is now blurred by my tears An empty chair Is being occupied by the teacher An empty chair Is being filled by ignorance An empty chair Its occupants ask the obvious An empty chair They ask "are you ok?" An empty chair Knows the answer An empty chair Knows the reason An empty chair Wishes to be filled again.

An Empty Chair

An empty chair Stares back at me An empty chair Where my friend should be An empty chair Replaces her life An empty chair Symbolizes how she took her life An empty chair Fills my view An empty chair Is now blurred by my tears An empty chair Is being occupied by the teacher An empty chair Is being filled by ignorance An empty chair Its occupants ask the obvious An empty chair They ask "are you ok?" An empty chair Knows the answer An empty chair Knows the reason An empty chair Wishes to be filled again.

In the dark of the night We are forgotten Gone and never to return We are forgotten No soul bothers to hear our pleas We are forgotten Just because we are not as tall We are forgotten Or don't have perfect skin We are forgotten Maybe it's because we don't have pretty hair We are forgotten Or even because we eat on a regular basis We are forgotten We are the few who see through this superficial society Yet we are forgotten Once we are gone, who will remember We are forgotten All that we have worked for through this short life We are forgotten As our names gradually fade into oblivion, We will fight for memory every step of the way.

We are Forgotten

In the dark of the night We are forgotten Gone and never to return We are forgotten No soul bothers to hear our pleas We are forgotten Just because we are not as tall We are forgotten Or don't have perfect skin We are forgotten Maybe it's because we don't have pretty hair We are forgotten Or even because we eat on a regular basis We are forgotten We are the few who see through this superficial society Yet we are forgotten Once we are gone, who will remember We are forgotten All that we have worked for through this short life We are forgotten As our names gradually fade into oblivion, We will fight for memory every step of the way.

I want life to stay Just the way it is I want life to stay Just as simple as it has ever been I want life to stay Frozen in my memories I want life to stay And preserve all the precious moments I want life to stay Forever young I need life to stay Just the way it was I need life to stay Just as simple as it used to be I need life to stay The way I remember I need life to stay Simple as a child's game I need life to stay Forever young I wish life would stay The way it was before I wish life would stay Preserve every moment I wish life would stay The way it is seen through a child's eyes I wish life would stay As innocent as it used to be I wish life would stay Forever young

I am from climbing the rocks by the beach with the dim morning light of the rising sun filtering through the morning fog of summertime. I am from lying in my warm bed, giving into my dreams while listening to my mom sing “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” I am from the foggy mornings in Monterey Bay watching the sun burn through the marine layer every day. The sun always won its morning battle, but while it struggled I would watch the rainbows come dancing through the fog. I am from sitting in Mr. ***** coffee shop, sipping hot chocolate with piles of whipped cream and a smile on my face on cold Friday nights, listening to my dad play Paco Bell Cannon on violin while Hannah Beckham plays on the cello. I am from playing in the waves on warm summer days; catching the sand ***** and throwing them back into the ocean. Finding seashells and putting them in my dad’s pocket so I didn’t have to carry them. I am from walking down Soquel Creek, finding big rocks, falling in the water, riding on my dad’s shoulder on the way back because I got tired, and playing on the swing set that was at the end of it. I am from hiking through Nicene Marks Redwood forest with my dad and whoever wanted to come. Watching the leaves fall down off the trees, ever so slowly, like angels falling from heaven. I am from the night I moved from all I ever knew, watching my child hood home fading in the distance. I watched while my friends waved at me as they faded away in both my vision and my memory. I never saw them again. Goodbye, I whispered, as every thing I ever knew faded away. Goodbye.

The world goes rushing past Bright colors flash But all I see is black Alone Blinded Forever fighting I see the world dying Lives lost forever Because nobody cares Alone Blinded Forever fighting Humans are easily blinded Hatred, love, and war Make us forget what we are really fighting for Alone Blinded Forever fighting

I look at the pale silver mirror I see destruction Chaos reined I walk through the silver ripples that was once the mirror I walk through our burnt, ****** past I see the ruins we have left behind I turn around and face the mirror that is my lifeline to the present And I see the future Shining bright with hope Hope still lives We just need to believe Work at it until it becomes reality Not just an empty reflection of our dreams

I feel as if I am on another world No one hears me I am silenced I know I am never heard No one hears me I am silenced Nobody knows my true self No one hears me I am silenced My pleas are swept away No one hears me I am silenced I am swept away in the wind No one will ever hear me No matter how hard I scream I am forever silenced
