We met at a bonfire
it was cold as Antarctica
though talking to you I didn't get tired
though I felt you weren't listening
you just stood there nodding
but since we became friends
you talk a lot more
you're my best guy friend
that I know for sure
but you give awful hugs

You laugh like I imagine an angel would
Your smile is like seeing the most beautiful sunset in the world
Your hair is perfect way too perfect
but I feel as though its not the outside of you that I love the most
it's that no matter how busy you are you have time to at least say "hi"
You make me smile more than I have in a while
The first time I saw you we had a staring contest across the cafeteria
You started putting your hands behind your head
I tried to do the same thing
But it felt awkward to me
I put them down and so my eyes went
I looked up and smiled and you smiled back
You're honest and sincere
And in my eyes you can do no wrong
All in all
You're amazing and smart
I'm so happy for you
This is how I see you
as you
well the you that I have seen so far

Shasha: Tehe

Bundled under her black and white comforter knowing her alarm will ring any second. Wraps the blanket around herself and rocks herself out of bed. Right as she does the alarm starts to ring. She tells it to shut up as she turns the switch to off. She goes out into the kitchen no one is up yet. Grabs herself a packet of oatmeal (Always strawberries and cream) She likes it thick and lukewarm with a glass of milk. While shes out there her dad comes out makes his coffee then leaves.After she eats her breakfast she slowly makes her way to her bedroom. The night before she lied out an outfit. Skinny Jeans and a purple button down shirt. She looks at herself in the body mirror by her dresser and pinches the fat around her hips and stomach. She takes off her fleece shirt and pants. She puts deodorant on and sprays herself with "Our moment" she put her shirt then her pants on. Goes into the bathroom. And brushes her red hair back into a messy bun. She applies her favorite makeup on her freckled face and her favorite lip balm on her small lips. She brushes her teeth with one of her eight toothbrushes and Colgate toothpaste. She runs into her room and puts her black flats on. Puts on her red jacket with the fur trim and walks out the door.  "Oh ****" she thinks "I forgot my back pack" She runs inside and grabs it. She makes her way to the bus stop. By the time she gets there everyone is there. About five minutes later the bus shows up. The bus is freeeezzzinnggg because the bus driver doesn't heat the bus. She sits in the seat still bundled up. A little later Aaron and Lori get on the bus. Aaron pushes her over and lies on top of her. Soon after the baybridge kids get on and it gets extremely loud. She talks to Brandie Logan Hannah and Aaron until the bus comes to her highschool. She walks off the bus and into the school. She walks to the cafeteria and puts her stuff down. She sees her best friend and walks around the school for what seemed like an hour. She sees her crush by his locker and tries to hide but he sees her and waves. She smiles and waves back shily. Soon after her class starts. Then she has lunch with him. She sits on her friends lap because there are no seats left. She checks her pockets for a dollar for a bagel but has none. One more class left. She finishes her school day and gets on the bus. (Pretty much the same thing but this time They have to pick the Jr high kids up) She gets to the bus stop and gets off of the bus. HOLY CRAP its freezing she thinks as she starts to walk home. Once she gets to her house she opens the door. She throws her stuff down and runs to the bathroom because she really has to go. Once shes done that she watches t.v. for a few hours. While procrastinating doing any homework or chores.  Finally at about 5 she decides to get some **** done... After dinner she washes the dishes and this one day asks to go on facebook. Her dad says yes so she goes on. She continuously sees Jessica's picture on facebook and tries to hold the tears in. After awhile she can't anymore. She asks her dad to take a shower but the real reason she wants to take a shower is so she can sob without people hearing her. Her dad says no though. She goes into her room and tries to find a razor.... nothing. She grabs a rock that for some reason appeared on her night stand.She srapes her arms over and over. She scratches fat into her stomach. she outlines the word Jess into her arm then crosses it out. Jess is gone she thought. She lies on her bed under the covers and silently cries until she falls asleep.

They say
I have
no
soul
no
heart
but
that's quite
heartless
don't
you think
making someone
else feel
bad
for
the color
of their
hair
I try to let it
slip my mind
forget it ever happened
but whenever I see them
in my head
I hear them
criticizing my hair
and my freckles
I can not change
I was born this
way
No one can make me different
I gave a homeless man half
of my sandwich
and five dollars
yet
I'm soulless
I gave a soldier I didn't even know
a hug and a thank you
yet I have no heart
Well you know what
I am a proud ***
Ginger

Are you crazy
no I'm not getting up
I'm way too lazy
I'm tired as fudge
I'm going back to bed
pressing snooze
I'll see you at noon

The sun shines on its own
It needs no help to be beautiful
It's aware of its light

The moon can not shine alone
It needs the help of the sun
To make it shine at night
It is not aware of its beauty
It needs help to give us light

No one thanks the sun for making the moon shine
No one thanks the moon for being there at night
Maybe they do not understand what they do
For people like me and you
Without them we would die

Maybe this'll sound cliché
Maybe you'll end up hating this poem
Honestly I don't mind
It wouldn't be the first time
I'll just go get my friends because
I am the moon and they are
My suns

Someday I'll be okay
these dark cloud will go away
I won't have to cry all the days
they'll say I rule
they'll say I'm cool
they won't think I'm invisible
One day I'll be warmed by sunshine
one day I will be fine
but right now
I am not fine
and the sun doesn't shine.
not on me it doesn't
not on me
all I have is this storm cloud
and my invisibility powers

today its my time to say good bye
I feel guilty
don't forget me
promise you won't miss me
I promise you
I'll see you soon
I love you
I truly do
You'll forget me soon
but if you start to miss me remember
I'm always there
I'll see you soon

Honey I'm crushing
Hard as hell
Baby its on you
You know I like you
Oh yes I know you do
But sweetie you're perfect
sweet as sugar
honest as washington
but I guess you want someone
pretty, funny, and smart
im just an old ****
whatever i know you don't want me
im lame as can be
I can't help crushing on you
I mean seriously boy look in a mirror
You'll see how perfect you are
look through my eyes to how i see you
I know I shouldn't like you
I should give up
But if I do give up
I think I will give up with love overall

this is not an easy thing to explain.
but since i was little i knew i wasnt straight
no i am not a lesbian
no i am bot bisexual
i am a thing most people dont know of
it is called pansexual
i do like boys
but i like girls too
and everybody in between
i date for personality
not for looks
but if your cute that is an added bonus
I feel like i trust u all
you don't know anyone that knows me
like seriously who are you going to tell
my friends already know
my parents had known
they just thought i was bi
but im not
im different.

she left when i was four
no explanation or anything more
it cut me straight to the core
you may think i was too young
to understand but my heart tore
my baby sister she was two
she barely could walk without falling
down onto the floor
now I barely see her
she's growing up too fast
she doesn't remember much of that past
she remembers calling me "*****."
And that she loved saying "it's purple."
I remember so much more
The smell of my moms sweet perfume
how she always had these really good cookies
her hugs and her kisses
but that day when she left it hurt me so much
because a girl needs her mother
a mother cannot leave her children
but my mom she was different
she never said "Good bye."
She never taught me to fly
she didn't see Jillian become the beaut she is today
she won't be able to see my sixteenth birthday
or be there for graduation
or my wedding
but whatever at least I have my dad
and my little sister
and family and friends
at least i have you guys/girls
because i know if you were going to leave you would at least say
"Good bye."

That day of rest
is truly the best
but today I feel like a mess
i don't even feel good in a dress
but with you
i feel secure
it wasn't just any
Sunday

No I'm not perfect
not even close
when I made breakfast this morning
I burnt my toast
But no matter what
I will try my best
to at least be somewhat
decent

Wearing mittens
boots all laced up
scarf around my neck
it's so cold
I can see my breath
hell
it's so cold
Jack Frost isn't nipping at my nose
  he's already chewing it

Winter in Maine
well you'd think it'd be grand
there is so much ice here
that there is nowhere to stand
the birds have flown south
in Florida they land

People cover their lips with Chapstick
there is so much snow in Brunswick
seriously whats the deal with it?

I may get ******* hypothermia
walking to my bus stop

Thank heavens I wore my wool socks

Theres a fire burning
down the road
smoke fills the air
feel your stomach
Turning turning turning
But the fire keeps burning
There is one small thing
no one truly
truly does know
that this isn't a real fire
this isn't something you see
it's that burning in your
heart the feeling of a broken heart
its the girl in the bathroom
thirty sleeping pills
the girl in her closet
rope around her neck
the girl in her bedroom
gun to her head
the girl in the bathtub
razor blade to wrist
it's that girl
don't call her stupid
no do not call her dumb
she may look it
but she really is not
this is her life this is her pain
do you ever feel that fire
she wants to leave
not because of you
no not because of me
because the fire
it's burning her heart
there isn't much left
she needs help
she needs love
please don't just stand there
she needs you yes you
someone somewhere
they need you to be there for them
in their time of need
take them by the hand
hold them close
tell them you love them
because if you don't
they might be gone
before you know it

I'm pretty sure you're going to say " no"
but I thought I would ask just so I know
so that thing coming up in March
whats it called again?
Oh that's right the semi-formal.
So you see all of my best friends are either
iar or too cool for dances.
and you well you're pretty cute
and super sweet I know this is a stupid question
and I'm going to get a "no"
but I feel as though I should ask this just to be positive...
will you go with me?
or at least save me one dance?

So this girl
her name is
LINDSEY
She is
obsessed with
my boyfriend
she cried
when we
started to
date and
won't shut up
about him
she is just
so ****
dramatic
she wants
me to
feel bad for her
but I
really cannot
she thinks
her life
is terrible
but I
bet it's
really not
she just
wants the
attention
of everyone
she talks
of him
non-stop
it gets
quite annoying
I mean come on
stop obsessing
you are
losing him
by saying
crap to
me about
our relationship
please just
go away
before you
end up
getting hurt
I don't
want to
sound rude
or mean
but seriously
if you're
going to
talk to
me about
my boyfriend
please do
not make
me cry
like you
have done
multiple times
in the
past
I really
do like
him more
than anyone
or anything
thank you

Hello... I just want to let you know
that they shouldn't matter
whatever they say.
I don't know where you are
or what you're doing
if your married
or if you have any kids
if you're even out of school yet
but I wanted to let you know
you do matter
to so many great wonderful people
the people that matter will stay in your life
if they want to leave they don't matter
follow your heart
and everything else will follow quickly behind
keep doing what you love even if you ****
be smart
stay beautiful
love people who love you
it does get better remember that
it may be a little bad now
but it will get better
I love you

They made us wear these yellow stars on our coats
they took our treasures then our homes
they came to get us on a humid summer day
my feet burned
my children cried for water
They shoved us into a cattle car
eighty in each
we would relieve ourselves in the corner
we couldn't lay down
we took turns sleeping
why did we think we would be okay?
My  second youngest she was 2 tugged on my coat
"Momma, what is happening?" She asked
I didn't know what to tell her
I held all of them close
Marie, she was 6
Grace, she was 4
Lacey, she was 2
None of us even knew.
My husband
sat staring into space
My poor son only 13 didn't look dazed at all
the train pulls to a stop
they hit us with rocks and whips, club, sticks
My Grace pulled my sleeve
She pointed
A pit
A pit of fire
Then the factory
It smelled of death here
There were words only eight of them
"Woman to the left. Men to the right."
I picked Lacey up in one arm
Grace in the other
Marie held on to my coat
We all left
my husband and my son held hands
That was the last time I saw them in the physical world.
The SS made us take our clothes off
And told us to run
Then one by one they asked us questions
Our age
"45" I said
"6" said Marie
My little girls stayed quiet
Not because they didn't want to say
Because they were not asked.
They pointed for The little ones and I to go to the right
Pointed for Marie to go left.
Marie grabbed me.
She wanted to go with us
So she did
Why, right?
We went
we were told we were getting a shower
They shoved thousands of us into a cold room.
All of the sudden gas filled the room
We suffocated
until
we
all
died
I rose from my body and stared around.
Why such cruelty? I wondered
My girls rose from their bodies too
We stared around looking for answers
Answers that will never be answered.
A light appeared and we followed
to Heaven
seven months later my husband appeared
nine months later it was my son
Never forget
Always remember
6 million numbers

I am a girl
six inches over five feet tall
I am bulimic
and sometimes depressed
I can't stand blood so i don't cut
I'm afraid of ***** and so much more
I'm not psychotic maybe a little weird
I love music and poetry
I love people if they love me back
I love my sister she's thirteen
I am me
and this
is
Who I am

Jessica we'll miss you
oh that my darling is true
you are now up in heaven
flying with the angels
baby you were to young
why'd you have to go
couldn't you see that
we loved you
really we did
I just hope you're better now
Good bye Beautiful
Rest in Paradise.

Leave her alone
she is obvi annoyed
shut the **** up
go play with yourself
like u probs do
shes my best friend
don't call her names
she may be cute
but shes scary as ****
mess with her
you mess with me
mess with me
you're dead meat
don't call her names
don't say shes fat
shes not ugly
shes just fine
she always makes me laugh
leave her alone
she doesn't need your *******
you ******* ******* seriously
GO TO HELL

Mimi her name was
roams the halls
ever since she took that fall
eating lunch with her friends
talking about the latest trends
her cheer leading skirt was stuck
she fell to her death that very day
she now haunts the place where she died
at least we now know she couldn't fly
it was quite some time ago she passed
people say she was quite a pest
she is still searching for her future
to get out of that place
she was in high school
but they tore it away
now its an elementary school
i don't think she knew
she now has to stay there not be able
to move on
how are you supposed to graduate
from high school
if it isn't that
poor Mimi
poor girl

I am not graceful
I am a total klutz
the only time I am
is when I dance
when I spin and twirl
I feel at peace
My leotard pink
my tights are white
well at least they used to be
ballet shoes pink stained with grey
my red hair in a bun
leaping high
Dancing
Dancing
Dancing

I am sitting in a meadow
lush and green with now trees
the wind is quiet
I break down in tear and the wind
it started whispering to me
"Please don't cry. I know it's hard
darling don't you worry."
I wiped my tears away slowly
The wind turned in a breeze and blew past me
I picked a flower as the wind whispered
"Be happy."

Hi my name is Emily
I am fifteen
nothing special
my mom left
I was 4
I only see my sister
once a year
my family and friends
deserve so much more
I'm just a burden on
everything
everybody
I hate myself
the bullies made me hurt myself
I cant hate myself forever
I might as well not
be
here

Dear you, yes I'm speaking to you.
Did you know you're special
talented, pretty,smart,
and superb. You're everything
I wish I could be yet you don't
want to be you.
You're funny and witty.
Someone who will let me
cry on their shoulder.
You're strong and courageous.
The light at the end of the darkest tunnel.
I love you I promise till the end of time.
I'll be here to wipe away your tears and say.
Baby, you're beautiful way too much to cry I love you
princess chin up buttercup :

You come to me in your time of need
then tell me I'm doing it wrong
I don't know what you want from me
I'm done with the drama
I'm done with the crap
Apparently I made you cry
Yet I didn't
neither did she
so stop saying crap
like how we are making you cry
how we aren't good friends
because sweetie you have it wrong
I try to help you
but i don't know what you need from me
I was trying to be a good
friend but YOU

I'm done with you

Verse I: I am nothing  absolutely worthless
You are everything absolutely perfect
I am the dark no one wants
you are the light we all need

Chorus: I'm nothing special
I'm nothing good
You're my only please stay that way
Never leave me I promise I won't
Break your heart


You're my everything
together or apart

Verse II:  I am just another girl
You're the most amazing guy
I am just so stupid
I bet you know how to fly
because you're amazing
you are beyond compare

chorus x2

Think about it
do you love yourself
do you know what love is
is love something you can define
do you love anybody
I know some people you must
but is love definable
or is it just a word
I realize its a feeling
we say I love you
quite a lot but do we know
what it means
is it strong liking of something
but couldn't we say
"I strongly like you"
what is love
why do we say it
how do we know if we mean it
what is love

Since I was six I suffered with depression
From the age of seven
they told me "You are not worth it"
since I was eleven
I've believed every word the bullies tell me
Never believing that I was in fact special
Since I was twelve
My life has nearly ended
over twenty times
I've been hospitilized over and over
for things i did to myself
because selfish people in my grade
treat me like im nothing
hate me for no reason
and bully me to the point i want it all to end
I tell them i don't care what they think of me
but in my mind all i see
is my life finally ending
I'm not smart
and im not that pretty
Well at least thats what I've believed
after 10 years of being bullied
But you know
I'll be better

This isn't what i wanted
I didn't want you to leave
to hate me nor love me
i wanted to be there for you
when you need me
I just need you to
know I will not forget you
How could this be
me without you
is like peanut butter without jelly
life without death
could this be
please tell me I'm having a nightmare
don't leave me
please don't hate me
how could this be
that you don't even
care enough to say good bye to me
well fine be that way
I don't care what you say
just leave me alone I guess
I'm done
See you
next
year

Before I was even born
my dad got a dog
A bull mastiff
He was the sweetest
he wasn't supposed to
live past
8 weeks
but he prevailed
he was my brother
he was my best friend
I put my trust into him
He laid his head on me
I was too young
to understand
why he had to leave
now its been six years
and I still miss him
could you blame me
He sits on my Dad's night
stand
in a gold tin
he lies on my dad's shoulder
in permanent ink
he stands near me
in a picture
actually quite a few
he holds a place
a huge one
in my heart
his name was Dozer
and this is for him

Hey pretty girl yes you
I've known you since 1st grade
you're amazing yes you
you are beautiful don't deny it
you are smart yes you
You are stronger than an ox
princess yes you
do not give up
you're perfect yes you
Mandie baby I love you
I need you to stay here with me
till we die
Please

Hello Dearest, here is a letter just for you. You have been
by my side since sixth grade. You're so smart even though you act stupid.
You're hilarious and pretty. You know my worst side and my best. You love
me for me.  You're welcome by the way for getting you to ask Dakota out.
You two are the cutest :*. I see you :)
I love you.
Sincerely, Em

Seriously? You're so immature.
Really? We're going to be stupid?
Seriously? We're in the tenth grade.
Really? I think it's time to grow up.
Seriously? This isn't funny.
Really? Now your calling me a lesbian?
Seriously? Cause I hugged my best friend?
Really? Now your calling me names?
Oh what joy.
stupid boys

I want to be beautiful
I want to be smart
I want to be strong
I want to be kind
I want to be talented
I want to be brave
I'm scared of the person I may become
I want to be someone else
I want to love myself
No stop
I am beautiful
and I'm not fake
I am smart
smarter than I think
I am strong
strong as an ox
I am kind
gentle and fair
I am talented
arts and music are where its at
I am brave
I've gone through so much yet I'm still here
I like the person I have become
I want to be myself
not anyone else
I love myself
and everything I am
yes I may be different
a little crazy I might add
But I'm happy with who I am
You don't have to like me
but please don't take
as long as I did to realize
all those good qualities
love yourself
because of you
not because of what others make you out to be

I promised
I swore
I would not
try it again
but I've tried seven times since
shush don't tell
but I need to try again
promise you'll
forgive me?

I have a secret
Please keep it
I have never had ***
It isn't a big surprise
Although most of my friends
