Have a nice day
This first one is dedicated to the greatest guy I'll probably ever meet.
I'm Always the Last To Know
Am I truly transparent
Are my thoughts see-through
Why was I the last to know
How I felt about you
As if I were blind now suddenly
I can truly see
And now I finally realize
What you mean to me
I've had a lot of crushes
Much like this one in the past
But somehow, now, I really feel
That this one's meant to last
How strange and new this is to me
But exciting anyway
I'll take it one step at a time
And live from day to day
This may end in a broken heart
But for now, I don't care
I feel alive, somehow, just knowing
That tomorrow I'll see you there.
Dedicated to Andrew Mix. He knows how I feel. *kisses* *giggles*
From here on in, my poetry is in alphabetical order.

A Lifetime
I've known you only
A short amount of time
Yet I feel as if I've
Known you forever
Very little do I know
Of how you bacame who you are
Very little have we talked
Yet I understand you well
Friends are hard to come by
But, this was a simple thing
You're just so easy to talk to
Why can't everything be so simple?
Who'd have thought
I could be 'just friends' with a guy?
Yet, I feel no need for romance
Just simply chatting is enough
It blows my mind to think
That's it's only been a few months
And now I look back and smile
A few months can seem a lifetime

Autumn
Summer is gone
Autumn is here
Think of the things
You did last year
Piles of leaves
A chill in the air
Changing colors
Everywhere
Halloween
Trick-or-treat
Now Christmas time
Don’t miss a beat
Changing seasons
Time, it flies
Thoughts of childhood
Heartfelt sighs
Exact date unknown
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Beans
A sickly sweet smell
Fills the air
You can’t escape
It’s everywhere
Your nose starts running
Your eyes, they burn
That obnoxious odor
No matter where you turn
As your head gets fuzzy
And you’ll pass out, it seems
You shouldn’t have eaten
That can of baked beans

Best Friends
Over the years, although they were few
Our sister-like friendship has grown
What is the meaning of friendship
Without you I might never have known
And today I face the difficult task
Of saying good-bye to you
And it’s tearing me apart from the inside out
Now what in the world can I do
Don’t look back, it makes me cry
But what’s to look forward to?
I’ll never again pass you in the halls
God! How I’m going to miss you.
Good-bye, my God it’s hard to say
How will I get through next year?
My best friend is going to leave me behind
As I smile, wave, and wipe away a tear

I Believe
I believe in that deep understanding
That people so stupidly call love
But I don’t think it’s what they believe
Cuz does love take that much push and shove
I believe in true happiness
But it’s really hard to achieve
It’s not found by sleeping around
Of course, this is only what I believe
I believe that caring, and even friendship
Are better than any relationship could be
Cause relationships eventually end
But friendship can last eternally
I believe that family is a precious resource
And not enough people believe it
Too many families tear apart at the seams
All because of one little fit
I believe in forever, and I believe
There is no end to life
It’s a perpetual cycle
The same as no end to the strife
I believe in my freedom of choices
And I choose to live my way
And I swear that no matter what
I’ll eventually have my day

I Love You
“I love you Mom” “I love you Dad”
I may say it often enough
But do they know I really mean it
Expressing myself is tough
I take their love for granted
Expect it to always be
But I never really tell them
How special they are to me
I guess that I’m afraid
Of what I do not know
I guess I fear that they might laugh
If I let my feelings show
I love them both with all my heart
And I wish I could tell them just that
But I can’t find the courage
I guess I’m just a scaredy-cat
My love for my parents is eternal
And I try to let it show
I want to tell them “I love you”
More than they’ll ever know
06/20/00
Dedicated to Mommy and Daddy

I think I Love You
Is it misplaced love
Or possibly it's true
I can’t help but think
I may be in love with you
Are you the one
I’ve been waiting for
Or perhaps you’re the guy
Meant to leave me wanting more
More time spent together
I don’t care what we do
I’m happy doing nothing
As long as I’m with you
I’m not wishing for anything serious
Be that as it may
I still believe I love you
In my own special way

I'm a Senior
Today I’m officially a Senior
So long have I awaited this day
The closer I got to the end of the year,
The farther I wished it away
Tears of sorrow, tears of joy
Even some tears of pain
Dripped slowly down my face
Cause I can never live the past again
I looked back at the school
And wiped the tears away
And watched the rain come streaming down
Cause I’m a Senior today

In Love
I don’t believe in love
I’ve shared my views with many
But, I honestly don’t believe
In love
I believe in the theory
That love could exist
But too many people mistake lust
For love
I’m only 17, but I’ve known
Too many people who’ve been hurt
All because they thought they were
In love
At many times in my life
I’ve believed I was in love
But then, the feelings faded, and I knew it
Wasn’t love
Torture, sadness, the things I associate
With people who are dumb enough
To believe that they really are
In love
Why fake it? If you can’t
Bear to be with the person you’re with
Why would you pretend to the whole world, that
It’s love
Nothing is worth the humiliation
You put yourself through
When you believe you are
In love
Why force yourself to be someone else
All for the sake of a relationship
That’s only going to end when you realize, it’s
Not love

Innocence Lost
Must be a dream for reality
Could never be so cruel
Hard laughter reigns, celebration’s dead
Fought in a bitter duel
A life is gone
Forever he’s dead
Below the ground
Six feet is his bed
I can’t change what happened
What’s done is done
His life was taken forever
It wasn’t me who fired that gun
His innocence gone and forever lost
Who knows, if given the chance
What he might have become or even
How far he might have advanced
No chance to be more then what he was
To make the most of his life
Someone didn’t think
Of all the heartache and strife
Did they think of the families
And the people who care
Or is it just the anger that caused this
Is nothing else there
It’s sad to think that someone my age
Could have so much anger inside
It’s scary to think that I could be next
Who knows what secrets my classmates hide
Who knows what makes them snap
A violent action, what’s to blame
Could it be that something’s changed
Or that it’s all staying the same?
I only wish that this violence would end
No more moments of silence in school
But I don’t believe anymore that people
Believe in the golden rule
I grieve for all the parents and kids
Who have died, I’m sorry to the core
But I can’t change what’s happened
And I only wish for something I could do more
Than preach to my cousins and family
Teach them it’s wrong to hurt
That nothing can justify why they did this
Even being treated like dirt.
Nothing can solve the problems
Caused by shooting that gun
Because nothing can bring back the lives you take
Remember, what’s done is done
03/14/01
Dedicated to those who have lost their lives due to school shootings, and all the families who have lost a loved one.
