Soaring over a gray, neglected ocean
Not a fish or strand of seaweed in sight
All my brothers and sisters, gone in a flash
I’m left to wander through the night

The only creature left on my planet
A tired, but majestic gull
All I can do now is sit and wonder
Where did my precious Earth go?

For humans have gone extinct
All fish and ocean dwellers, too
All of my kind, the creatures of the sky
There is only me, no more you

As the hunger slowly takes away my life
And my patchy wings are flapping weak
I settle down for one last breath
This world is not for the meek

Now not a lonely bird, but a lonely world
No longer a place of miracles
But need not fear, life will emerge again
Hopefully, they won’t be as pitiful
I did a school project on ocean pollution at the end of the year, and this is one of the poems I wrote for the end product. I printed this poem onto nice paper and stuck it to a magnetic frame. I sold about 15 of these to parents!

Acknowledge that hurting moment inside,
That hate for yourself that you can’t deny.
And know,
It will be over soon.
You will march into the light,
A graceful butterfly,
Emerging from your dark cocoon.
Into a future that is only brightened,
By each new day.

I want you to tell me
All your darkest secrets
So I can tell you mine,
But I need you to really want it, my dear
I’d hate for you to waste our time

I fight with the voices in my head
They keep throwing stones
They keep calling me weak
               "All your poems about love!"
And you are  still alone
            That I don't deserve love
" it's not for the weak!"
I know there are a thousand things to write poetry about but i'm drawn to love. I love to write about love. Does that make me weak?

Your heart is still beating strong when you feel at your weakest
Remember that
