These are some poems that i really like and i hope you'll like them too!
P.S. These poems were not written by me unless otherwise stated.
Confusion
So many questions
So little time
Sometimes I ask
Am I losing my mind?
So many decisions
I know I can't make
So much critisism
I simply can't take
I can't please everyone
Though I will always try
Sometimes I get discouraged
But I don't know why
I hate all the pressures
That are brought upon me
Too many decisions
Than I'd rather there be
I just can't stand it
Don't know what to do
To feel what I feel
If only you knew
I'm not looking for sympathy
I just wish it would end
But I feel it's a battle
That I'll never win.
My Best Friend Today I found a friend, She understood my wonders, Not once did she interupt me, I reached out to this friend I went to hold her hand
Who knew everything I felt.
She knew my every weakness,
And the problems I've been dealt.
And listened to my dreams.
She listened to how I felt about life and love,
And knew what it all means.
Or tell me I was wrong.
She understood what I was going through,
And promised she'd stay long
To show her that i care
To pull her close and let her know
How much I need her there
To pull her a bit nearer
And realized that this perfect friend I found
Was nothing but my mirror.
Please don't judge me by my face
By my friends or what you hear.
Please don't laugh at what I wear
Or how I look or do my hair.
Please look deep inside of me.
And although you may not see it
I have a lot to hide.
Behind my clothes, the secrets lie
Behind my smile, I softly cry.
Please look deep inside,
And maybe you will find
The lonely girl that lives in me.
Please listen carefully to her
She'll show that she is insecure.
Please try to be a friend to her
And maybe you will see,
That if you just look deep enough
You'll find the real me.
Seasons Of Changes
Why am I so different?
What did I ever do?
To deserve the kind of treatment
that I receive from you.
You were my friend
when times were blue.
You stood by my side,
through and through.
But now you have changed,
you are acting quite different,
I want your old self,
to come out from inside.
I want our friendship back
I want you to change.
Is it asking too much
for you to be my friend once again?
Paintbrush
I keep my paintbrush with me,
Wherever I may go,
In case I need to cover up,
So the real me doesn't show.
I'm so afraid to show me to you,
Afraid of what you'll do,
That you might laugh or say mean things,
I'm afraid I might lose you.
I'd like to remove all of my paint coats,
To show you the real, true me,
But I want you to try and understand,
I need you to accept what you see.
Now my coats are all stripped off,
I feel naked, bare and cold,
And if you still love me with all that you see,
You're my friend pure as gold.
I need to keep my paintbrush with me,
And hold it in my hand.
I want to keep it handy,
In case somebody doesn't understand.
So please protect me, my dear friend
And thanks for loving me true.
But I need to keep my paintbrush with me,
Until I love me too.
Without You
By Melanie Smith (Me)
Dedicated to Heidi and Kelli
I often remember the many times we've shared,
Not a day goes by when the thought of you doesn't cross my mind,
When you left, my heart was left impaired,
A truer friendship than ours, I cannot hope to find.
My friends, without you I am incomplete,
My heart, it aches, when you are not around,
I'm yearning for the next time when we meet,
When I hear you're coming to visit, my feet lift off the ground.
My friends, I miss you dearly,
There's nothing I long for more,
Than the visit that comes yearly,
And when you're knocking at my door.
My Friend
Melanie Smith (Me)
(Dedicated to Bethany Rich)
Let me explain the difference
Between you and me
For you have never experienced
What I was forced to see.
It happened on a Sunday
Just five years ago.
I certainly didn’t expect it
But how was I to know?
That during church that day
I would realize
You don’t really understand things
Till you’ve seen them with your eyes.
For I saw my friend’s affliction
On that dreadful day.
I guess I never understood
The price she has to pay.
Born mentally disabled
You’d think she’d be naïve,
But with her seizure disorder
You wouldn’t even believe
The knowledge she must have
Due to such a trial.
It makes me wonder how
She can continue to smile.
For I saw the terror
That was etched into her face
As tears rolled down her cheeks
And I was pulled in an embrace.
I could feel her start to tremble
Which caused my heart to sink.
I knew what was going to happen
And before I could even blink
I released my hold on her
And her arms rose into the air
Wriggling without her consent
Till she was lifted from her chair.
Our teacher laid her down
Moving stuff out of the way
And I couldn’t help but watch
As she quivered where she lay.
Her mom was soon brought in
And she stroked my friend’s blonde hair
Whispering soothing words
And all I could do was stare.
Her mother took her home
As I sat in shock
Until church was over
And it was two o’clock.
When I met my mother’s eyes
After I left my class
I finally broke down
Shattering like glass.
I sobbed in her embrace
Finally having release
From those overwhelming emotions
That took a while to cease.
Although it was frightening
To see my friend like that
And feeling rather helpless
As I watched and sat
I’m really rather grateful
That I was there to see it
For it has strengthened me
If only a little bit.
I am also grateful
For it has made me see
How amazing she really is
And how much she means to me.
