Confidence is Locked Up
Cranberry Juice Mar 2015
Alluring courage is complicated
The voices not wanting to circumvent,
And the people who aren't appeased
Makes the pressure even bigger and stronger

I need to burnish my confidence,
But the arboreal confidence is stuck on a vine
The affronts given to me, their expression is what's frightening
The archaic words I receive everytime when I go up, I don't wish for it to repeat
I just wish I was able to avert when I really needed to

I'm Invisible to my Crush
Cranberry Juice Feb 2015
You stand there noticing people other than me,
While I stand there facing my dull eyes toward you
I pass by noticing your warm scent
While I circumvent , you scented nothing
I listen to your deep, appeasing voice trying to capture it
While you stay there , and avoid it
Am I this invisible ?
Too invisible to be noticed by someone who I really tried to be noticed from?
I wonder, wonder about you , wondering if you're thinking about me too...
Realizing there is no chance.. because I really am invisible

I Am
Cranberry Juice Apr 2015
I am a sound of a humming bird's voice, singing peacefully without no distraction
A dark colored maroon for its unique dullness,
A mountain higher than you can ever imagine,
A swan for its belief in it's own beauty,
And a lamp that shines brightly no matter how dim it gets.
I am a sunflower who blooms toward the sun of my color,
An apple tree who bears fruit for the needs,
A lake that goes deep into thoughts and emotions,
A Minecraft game that all people can enjoy,
A cup of water for its purity,
An A for its position in the alphabet and sharpness in mind.
I am an ice-cream that revives people on certain understandable days,
A volleyball that can be pressured up,
And the Divergent book that shows I can always be different.
Written in 6th grade, Mrs.Torrado's class. Published today :)

I am ME

Memory Lane
Cranberry Juice Mar 2015
Going back to memory lane
Holding the picture to see what I experienced, good or not
Dusting away my dusty, rusty memories
Smiling, frowning down that long windy road of mine
Realizing you can't go back to that moment
Realizing that next time. . .
You'll keep it, capture it and treasure it
And you'll realize how much that memory had meant once you go back to memory land once again
a reminder for me

Why Am I Living?
Cranberry Juice Mar 2015
Why am I living?
What should I do?
Why am I here?
What is life all about?
What is the purpose of existence?
Does life even exist at all?

People say I live for God.
People say I'm here to make a difference in the world.
People say I'm here to enjoy life.
People say it's the best gift each and everyone one of us has received.
But you know what?
I feel like I'm living to satisfy others instead of myself.

I'm Hopeless
Cranberry Juice Mar 2015
I miss him.
I wish my wish would come true
that day you told me to make that wish.
We were together,
telling me all the reasons you loved me.
I enjoyed each and every moment,
not caring about what other people think.
And suddenly, my world has collapsed.
Everything has changed.
You've ruined it all, you've ruined me.
All those words you have said,
I believed it all..
And now I'm here, regretting everything I have done with you.
Every word.
Every idea.
Every thought...
It's now faint, because as these words drift towards you,
You'd always try to dodge it, weakening my affection for you.

I'm the Odd One
Cranberry Juice Feb 2015
I'm being drawn by you
I wish you would notice me
With your mysterious life, all I can do is wonder
Wonder why I'm odd around you
You keep that stable face
While I, keep the opposite
I wish you'd understand
I want you know how I feel
I want you to...want...need me
I wish I was your four leaf clover, but you've never tried to search for me,
But I really wish you would

You Spoiled Cat !
Cranberry Juice Feb 2015
Dear child,
Can you start giving me cat food that's piled?
I wish to expand
With luxurious food that's apparently canned.
Please don't treat me like I'm a rock.
And stop watching me like a hawk!
I love all the petting,
But your hand really needs to stop sweating
I want to be treated like a luxurious cat, can you do that?
Oh, and when you come back, capture a rat

Harsh Mouths
Cranberry Juice Mar 2015
Why can't people treat each other equally ?
They're way of judging moves so rapidly
The first thing you judge about a person is their face
We should all just be glad, we have a life to embrace

Once I hear a comparison between two people, it makes me delirious,
And their victory makes them feel luxurious
They should think before they say
Or else someone might die today

They probably experienced a moment like this in the past,
But we should finally end it, at last
The words, "you're ugly, you stink, you're dumb"
May just crush that person into a crumb

She's Unforgettable
Cranberry Juice Feb 2015
The moment I lose whom I care about
It seems my life drifts away
I can't understand how I feel
It makes me sad in a way

I feel like everything is gone
When I loose my loved one
There's no more I could talk to
And there's nothing I can do

I regret I didn't say goodbye to her
And these words I wish to utter
Saying "I love you" makes her happy
Because I know she's with me today
This poem was made by my grandma and I in 2014

Depression's Outcome
Cranberry Juice Mar 2015
I cry so much, but I'm still not able to drown myself.
I cut deeply, but the blade never gets in contact with a vein.
I rage so much, but I never explode.
I lie, but people never seem to notice the sorrow in my eyes.
Why is that?

I waste so much energy,
I hope too much,
and I try to drive myself to the end.

I try even harder this time,
overdosing, cutting, exploding, fainting,
but none of them seem to work.

But just when my trashed life sorts itself,
my heart fails, I fail.
I'm regretting everything I have done to make this thought of death come to reality.
Everything will be okay, mother.

Rise Even Higher
Cranberry Juice Feb 2015
What does it feel like to be controlled by just anybody who feels the power to?
Do you feel like paper controlled by the wind?
They are able to overtake you for what they knew.
Everyone wishes it wouldn't be so emotional.

No matter what, keep your head clear.
Be able to conquer your caged feelings.
You must know there will always be a happy ending
to that cherished life of yours.

Face the cruelty with confidence and kindness towards other people.
For what I know, they'll soon fade away.
They never finished the "complete life" finish line.
I am a strong, independent person, and that's all you have to say.

Capture the Beauty of Hair
Cranberry Juice Feb 2015
Staring out in the starry night sky
Makes all the people want to drop by
The cold wind brings out your beauty
And the smell... so fruity
Every strand is perfection
Brings all the boys beg down in sections
140,000 of you makes me pull a smile
How many days does it take all of you to walk through that aisle ?
You can be complicated at times,
But none of the cops would think you've done a crime
Smoother than everything
Why are you so tempting ?

My Wish
Cranberry Juice Feb 2015
I stare at my candle in despair
Wondering why he wouldn't be fair
Knowing you wouldn't be here,
delivers me to fear

I eat alone at a table for two
As the lonely bird flew
This tragedy may conquer me now,
But I have lots of cats who meow

A stranger passes by
Handing me a slice of pie
I thank him as the sun starts to dim,
She can feel her life wearing thin

I'm sober when I arrived so I took the slice
As I wonder, was my love for him just rolled by a dice ?
I took a but of the bitter pie,
I can feel my life getting dry
I fall onto the floor below,
And I realize my candle has been blown.

The Betrayal
Cranberry Juice Mar 2015
I once thought about my best friend
I was thinking of our friendship, was it going to end?
I don't know what a true friendship is now
I'm just sure it means more than a queen's bow
I thought I just had one kept safely in my hand,
but I what i didn't know was that it could also break as easily as a generic rubber band.
You know what? I'm done.
because this friendship is no longer fun.
She didn't stay by my side
so I cried and cried.
She never defended me,
but still, I let my anger set free.
She repeatedly stabbed my back.
I ask myself, "What is the skill in a relationship I lack?"
She was a pretender
So I never knew if she meant to really surrender.
She was careless,
and couldn't be anymore reckless.
She was once my friend.
"I'm sorry," I say to her. 'This relationship can no longer extend.'
just for those 3 friends of mine

— The End —
