everyone reflects
Arabella Nov 23
everyone reflects at things
it’s human nature
we all do it
we all think about our thoughts
and we all reflect on our actions
big or small
everyday
after an average day
when you get home
or immediately after
the situation to reflect on
has happened
it’s another perk of our brain
our consciousness

the feeling of reflection
is positive or negative
black or white to us
but truthfully
it’s usually grey
celebrate the positive
learn from the negative
and don’t overthink
move on

Lory it’s okay
Arabella Nov 25
Lory, my dear friend,
I hope you’re okay,
Because sometimes,
It doesn’t feel that way.

Lory, you’re loud,
You’re expressive,
A magnet to many,
And your aura is massive.

Lory, you’re buzzing,
You’re outstanding,
At mostly everything,
They all see perfection.

Lory, what is this act,
Is it worth the Oscar,
This facade you keep up,
Have you always mustered?

Lory, the mask you wear,
Is burned into your face,
No removal now,
This facade is your fate.
I’ve written this about my friend who is struggling silently. She enjoys being the best at everything, therefore struggles when she’s not. I think this has come from problems at home, a broken family and things and she’s been affected. Thanks for reading my poem!

You haven’t failed
Arabella Dec 7
You didn’t fail
when you were born with a bigger nose

you didn’t fail
when your hair lay flat

you didn’t lose
when your teeth became crowded

you didn’t lose
when you got acne

you didn’t fail
when you gained weight

you haven’t lost
because your hair hasn’t grown on your temples

you haven’t lost
because your ***** are smaller

you haven’t failed
because your tall

you haven’t failed
because your short

you haven’t failed
you haven’t lost
because of your appearance
nor will you ever.
justtt something about insecurities and the pressures of beauty standards on women. how a person appears physically doesn’t determine their worth, people should not be praised nor put down for their physical features. beauty is not external, it is the soul inside a person’s heart.

Life is beautiful
Arabella Nov 23
We are so small
we are on a floating thing called a planet
it was named earth
the sun is many times bigger than us
we are people
we are humans
we are a species
out of many others
we are made up of tiny things
these things were named cells
inside cells is made up of more tiny things
these tiny things are made up of other tiny things
things and things and things
there are objects
lifeless things
they are made up of tiny things
these things were named atoms
atoms are made up of other tiny things
things and things and things
there are big things and small things
there are planets
there are solar systems
there are stars
like the one in the centre of our solar system
this star was named the sun
the sun is very big
bigger than all other planets in our solar system
there are other solar systems
many many more
many many more
and many more
more than we can think of
more than we can imagine
we ask ourselves if there is something else out there
although we don’t think about it much
we have school
we have work
we have exams
we need money
we need to survive
we have emotions
we have love
we have hope
we have fear
we are feared
we are sensitive
we are embarrassed
we are caring
we are sad
we work hard
we are greedy
we are distracted
we are manipulated
we are brainwashed
we are controlled
we are the same
our minds are the same
we are nothing but we believe we are something

we live
we earn
we love
we die
we forget

we don’t question it
we are just here
and we will never know what happens outside
and we won’t think about it

everything is meaningless
we give everything a meaning
which is why we are still here

love everyone
because we are all the same
we created love
we created hatred
what’s the point in hate
we are all a family

even if we are meaningless
does it matter?
Life is beautiful.
