Remember When? (A poem about growing up)
Remember when boys had cooties?
Remember when your parents arranged your playdates?
Remember when the biggest fight you ever had with your best friend was over who gets the last Popsicle?
Remember when “we should hang out” was “wanna come over and play?” and you actually followed through?
Remember when you gave your childhood best friend a friendship ring and promised to be “best friends forever?”
Remember those countless Friday nights when you would go out with your friends and party all night long? They were your “crew”, your “buddies”, and you hoped you would all be best friends forever.
Remember when your best friends only lived a block away?
Remember when goodbyes only lasted 12 hours?
Remember when “getting punished” meant going to your room or going to bed early?
Remember when you relied on a security blanket to keep you warm and secure?
Remember when “stupid” was such a bad word?
Remember when the worst pain you ever felt was a skinned knee?
Remember when peer pressure was to go down the huge slide on the playground or the diving board at the pool ?
Remember when getting high was swinging on the swings at the park?
Remember puppy love, when you thought you were “in love” with your first crush?
Remember when heartbreak was spilling your milk?
Now boys are everything and more to us
Now we are in charge of our own social life
Now the biggest fight you’ll ever have with your best friend was over the fact that she slept with your boyfriend
Now “we should hang out” usually isn’t followed through
Now that friendship ring can be be easily regarded and thrown away as “junk” when cleaning out their room and that “best friend” you gave it to you was easily replaced
Your “crew” is no longer your crew. They become your old childhood friends. You have a new “crew”, but your old “crew”always holds a special place in your heart and you would give anything to spend one night with them reliving the great times you used to have
Your old childhood best friends are growing up and moving away, renting apartments with their boyfriends/girlfriends, sometimes thousands of miles away
Now goodbyes last years
Now “getting punished” means “getting grounded” for weeks at a time, usually bound to your room with no computer, phone, friends, or anything
Now we rely on our boyfriends to keep us warm and secure
Now nothing is considered a bad word to us because we hear deragatory, prejudice words just walking down the school hallway and in the music we listen to
A skinned knee is NOTHING compared to a real broken heart
Now peer pressure is the notion that getting drunk and high is cool
Now getting high means smoking and popping pills
Now “real love” is slow suicide
Now “heartbreak” is getting cheated on or dumped by someone you thought you could always trust
Sometimes I wonder why I was ever so excited to grow up
I would go back to the good ol’ days in a heartbeat
Cancer Awareness Poem (Cancer patients and loved ones: STAY STRONG!)
by Carissa Rueanne Demasi on Wednesday, April 13, 2011 at 8:46pm
It’s the disease that everyone fears
And is the cause for all our tears
But we can fight it
We can’t let it beat us
For all those families out there
Stay strong
I give you all my best wishes
Courage, Strength, Luck, Hope
We believe in you
We know you can fight this
Stay strong
Don’t give up
We love you
And we are rooting for you
Like Fire On Ice
I follow you around
I have to see where you’re going
Because you melt my heart like fire on ice
And you’ll never know :)
I see you smile at me
I go weak in the knees
And I start to sweat
Because you melt my heart like fire on ice
and you’ll never know :)
We’re probably completely different
Like fire and ice
Like chocolate and vanilla
You may have a girlfriend
But I can’t give up on you just yet
Because you melt my heart like fire on ice
and you’ll never know :)
Her Tears Tell A Story
She lays in bed
and hugs her pillow to her chest
As she looks out her window
and beyond the life she has left
She cries
She’s a mess
She thinks of the past
Everything she has left behind
Her tears tell a story
One that is unwritten from the world
But a novel in her soul
She dosen’t want to be up all night crying
She wants to be happy
But when she remembers what she lost and what is gone
The tears fall
Her tears tell a story
One that is unwritten from the world
But a novel in her soul
The room she sleeps in
Is starting to feel like a jail cell
Her pillow is too wet from her tears to sleep on
The walls feel like they’re closing in on her
And no matter what shes never comfortable
Her tears tell a story
One that is unwritten from the world
But a novel in her soul
She feels so alone
Even in a room full of people
Nobody can hear her screams
Shes riding this roller coaster
All by herself
In order to see the rainbow you have to go through the storm
She tells herself the rainbow is coming
But she’s been searching for it for months
The storm is flooding the rainbow away
Her tears tell a story
One that is unwritten from the world
But a novel in her soul
Stupid Cupid
Cupid Cupid
The god of love
Do you know what you’re doing?
When you shoot that arrow?
I see him
I want him
Stupid Cupid you shot your arrow and let it fly
It hit her and I’ll never know why
Why must you have such terrible aim
I saw him, I wanted him
But now he sees her
And he wants her
Stupid Cupid you shot your arrow and let it fly
It hit her and I’ll never know why
They huddle together from the cold
Their breath forming in the cold humid air
That girl should be me
But it’s not
All because of Stupid Cupid
You shot your arrow and let it fly
It hit her and I’ll never know why
Take Me Away From This Place
She lives in a small town
And nothing ever changes
Every day is the same
No fortune, no fame
The walls start to feel like they’re closing in on her
The streets feel like old friends
She sits in her room and looks out her window
Thinking
“Take me away from this place”
She feels like everyone’s against her
Liars, cheaters, fake friends
They all surround her and make her claustrophobic
While she thinks
“Take me away from this place”
Everyone knows everyone
It’s a speck of dust on the entire United States
She just looks all around her
and thinks
“Take me away from this place”
Broken Wings
I’m taking a walk
Admiring the beauty around me
Singing songs all off key
The trees are lush and green
Everything that is never seen
Is all around me
Suddenly I see
On the ground in front of me
A bird
A bird with broken wings
I pick the little birdie up
And pet it gently
I bet it could fly away
Over the trees
Over the hills
If only it didn’t have broken wings
I know exactly how this little bird feels
My heart had wings too
But they broke
My heart could fly away too
To a happy place
If only it didn’t have broken wings
This bird and me
We both have a secret
So I take it home with me
I lay in bed holding the baby bird in my arms
And stare at its broken wings
I know it dreams everyday of flying away to a happy place
If only he didn’t have broken wings
If I could nurse this baby bird
Nurse it
It would make me so happy
And he will be a happy pappy
So it can fly way to a better place
I can’t save myself, can’t nurse myself
So the next best thing is to nurse this baby bird
And its broken wings back to life
But it’s time to face reality
I can’t nurse this baby bird any more than I can nurse myself
So we can both lay here and dream of flying away to a happy place
If only we didn’t have broken wings
Black Heart
He told her he loved her
She believed him
But he turns around and hurts her
Tells her she’s a slut and no one will ever like her
Makes her cry
As she lays in bed sobbing
His black heart beats on and on
He’s full of evil
Acting like he loves her
Then telling her he dosen’t care about her
While she suffers in silent agony
His black heart beats on and on
I’m Sorry (All about fighting with friends)
Best friends forever
Or so we said
Is that a promise
Or did we let it all go to our head
I’m sorry
I never should have done that
I hope you’ll forgive me
It would fill me with glee
We both said things we didnt mean
We both acted on our anger
Our friendship means too much to me
To let one fight end it
I’m sorry
I never should have done that
I hope you’ll forgive me
It would fill me with glee
The phone went dead
Your face went away
I said something and got you all fed
I’m sorry
I never should have done that
I hope you’ll forgive me
It would fill me with glee
I wish we never got into this
Because I love you
And I know you love me
Friends forever
Its a promise
I’m sorry
I never should have done that
I hope you’ll forgive me
It would fill me with glee
Christmas Time!
Presents presents galore
Wreaths and hollys at the door
The mistletoe hangs from the arch above
Waiting for you to kiss your love
Ornaments hang from the tree very tall
The Nativity Scene brightens up the hall
The Nutcracker starts singing a Christmas tune
As you dance to the light of the moon
The snow falls cold and icy
My mother’s perfume smells spicy
It’s Christmastime
So Merry Christmas to you and your kin!
What’s Going Through Your Mind?
Walking down the halls of my school
Swimming in the swimming pool
Hand in hand
What’s going through your mind?
Are you thinking about me or do you want to leave?
I want to know
I want you to go
And tell me what’s on your mind
Entangled, strangled, cuddled, huggled on the bed
My brain is half dead
Im so tired
But I still wanna know as i’m in your arms
What’s going through your mind?
Are you thinking about me or do you want to leave?
I want to know
I want you to go
And tell me what’s on your mind
Kissing and kissing, letting ourselves go
Kissing and kissing into our own world
What’s going through your mind?
Are you thinking about me or do you want to leave?
I want to know
I want you to go
And tell me what’s on your mind
Staying up all night talking on the phone
Laughing, joking, talking
You tell me you’re thinking about me
And I tell you I’m thinking about you
But I know what both of us are thinking
What’s going through your mind?
Are you thinking about me or do you want to leave?
I want to know
I want you to go
And tell me what’s on your mind
What If I Told You?
What if I told you the sun would stop shining?
What if I told you the world would stop spinning?
What if I told you the stars would stop shining?
What if I told you heaven exists?
What if I told you I love you?
I Dare You
I dare you to see me
I dare you to smile at me
I dare you to talk to me
I dare you to get to know me
I dare you to kiss me
I dare you to ask me out
Or you can chicken out
And walk right out that door
Will you take the dare?
Trick or Treat
Trick Or Treat
It’s Halloween night, if you look outside it’s quite a sight.
See everyone with their costumes and masks,
While I’m stuck in the house doing chores and tasks.
The doorbell rings,
Dong dings,
The trick or treaters at the door, oh look! Here comes more!
I reach into the candy bowl,
and serve first to a guy dressed up as a mean old soul
So there are all the people with masks,
While I’m stuck in here doing chores and tasks.
I could be out trick or treating,
And see all the funny people I will be meeting,
But no,
While everyone is admiring each other’s masks,
I’m stuck here doing chores and tasks.
My friends come to the door, ouch! My back is sore!
They ask if I can come out and play,
And some glare at me with their masks.
No! I say, I have to stay here and do chores and tasks.
Oh, that stinks! My friends say,
I know, I say, I could be out there playing Hijinks.
Yah! I’m finally done with my chores and tasks,
Now I can go outside and be part of the masks!
Oh wait! I have homework to do! And a science project too!
Time’s running out, oh boy do I want to pout!
But if I do pout, more time will run out.
So I’ll sit here and do my stuff, even if my shoes scuff.
What’s 12x8?
Oh no, I forgot to write my name and date!
So what is this poem trying to tell you?
Before you tie your Halloween shoe,
Make sure you’re all finished with the house,
Or you will get a big douse.
Instead of celebrating with the masks,
You’ll be stuck at home doing chores and tasks.
HAVE A HAPPY
HALLOWEEN!
Love
there is no perfect way to define love
Its like a white dove
flying over hilltops
and rooftops
as it flies out of a bride’s dress
love is nothing less
than bueaty
love is warm and comforting better than any hug or kiss in the world
love is something words cannot describe
even this poem cannot describe love
but it will give u the general idea
love is a forever hug
u cant bottle love up in a jug
u gotta let it out
love is too special to keep hangin
love is beyond words
love is wonderful
love is comforting
love is….
the most bueatiful thing in the world
You’ll always be in my heart
I think about you everyday
i wish i may
i wish i might
i wish on a shining star tonight
that somewhere out there ur thinking about me
u’ll always be in my heart
i feel so happy
life feels so dandy
every time u pop in my head
as i lay in bed
ull always be in my heart
i never feel so alone anymore
life is no longer a bore
cause i have u in my heart forever
this poem may not be clever
and it may not be perfect
but its spiritual
but whatever u do just remember………..
u’ll always be in my heart!!!!
Rainy Day
I stare out my window on a winter afternoon
I will be going outside soon
Because it is a rainy day!
Splish Splash Splish Splash
The rain falls from the sky
I love rainy days
They make me feel refreshed
Splish Splash Splish Splash
I run outside
I don’t worry about an umbrella or a hood
Even though i should
Watch me catch a raindrop on my tongue!
Splish Splahs Splish Splash
The rain falls forever
On a rainy day
Squeak Squeak Squeak
Listen to my shoes
Squeak Squeek SQUUUUEEEEEKKK!
I have such musical shoes
On a rainy day
The rain slishes and splashes
My shoes squeak squeak squeak
Forever on A Rainy Day!
Show The World
I’m taking a walk
Having a talk
With my friend or family member
When i see a root beer bottle
A Sprite Can
A Ziploc Bag
An empty Doritos Bag
And much more
And galore
All over the sidewalks and street
Under our feet
We need to stop littering
And Show the world what we can do
Show the world what we can be
Show the world a different side of me
And everyone else
Look at all the problems we are now facing
Economy, teacher cuts, unemployment, etc.
Don’t you wish you could do something about it?
Show the world what we can do
Show the world a different side of me
And everyone else
I’m at the beach
Chillin on a blanket
Watching the beautiful ocean waves
When i see another Dorito bag
A water bottle
A toy brand new
or two
Show the world what we can do
Show the world what we can be
Show the world a different side of me
And everyone else
I’m sure if we put our heads together
and work as one
we can
Show the world what we can do
Show the world what we can be
Show the world a different side of me
And everyone else
A Chair
Note: This is a total joke! So it’s supposed to be a badly done poem :P
It is red
It is hard
It can support butts
It has a personality
It is my best friend
The legs are cold
It is tough like steel
It has a backing
My wonderful body can support this wonderful chair in all its glory
A chair is useful
You can sit it in when you are too tired to walk
I love my chair
It is a chair
