Poems

I wrote a piece and I think many can relate to it; so I'm going to share it. __Lights__ by Mel Sycamore 9-23-11 When the lights are turned on, it diminishes your glow. Fluorescent lights will ruin your halo. Dulls the sheen on your disheveled brown hair. Even patches up the tattered jeans you wear. Changes your t-shirt from black to white. All of your teeth don't shine as bright. You lose your sense of humor, how to laugh. Forgot how to pick fights when you're laughed at. You're not the same when others are around. You begin to smile instead of frown. Your intense blue eyes are happy instead of sad. You control your anger, you're not as mad. With new pride you straighten your back, not slouch. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">You're up and about instead of slumping on the couch. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Your bittersweet personality has changed. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Turn the lights off because I want you the same. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I don't want you to change from mysterious to nice. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Change is good, but for you it's not right. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Where's the secluded you, who didn't care about anyone else? <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Who never talked to anyone, who talked to yourself? <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Swore under your breath, nervous around others. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Stuttered when you talked, angry when talking to another. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Annoyed when interrupted, silent most times. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Loving to me, silent when fine. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Your hypocritical ego has got me confused. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Where's the old you because I hate the new. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">You change as fast as a flick of the switch. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">You're changing quickly, I don't know what you did. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Stay yourself, be yourself, don't ever change. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">This new you is so foreign, so strange. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">You used to be caring in a nonchalant way. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">You made me melt with the simple words you said. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Comforted me with a tight grip on my shoulder. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Said compliments with a face as hard as a boulder. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Gave stiffened hugs, a quick kiss. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Where's the old you, the one I miss? <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Is it just a trick of the light, when they're on? <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Flick them on and your bitterness is gone. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Turn them off, you look better with them off. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Your hidden love was all I needed, it was enough. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">When it's just us, I know how you feel about me. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">You don't have to change because simply <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The way you were before was you, no one else. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Nobody was like you, except for yourself. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Nobody told you to change, so why? <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I know I never told you, if you thought so, that's a lie. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I love you just the way you are. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The thing I love most is your heart. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">So turn that light off and come stand by me. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Either that or just stare around blankly. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">No matter what, I'll recognize you, whatever you do. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Even with the lights on, I'll always love you.

10-11-11 I don't know if this haiku will count, but I'll write it on my page. The path ahead us, Won't be something to forget, And dreams will come true.

<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace;">10-15-11 <span style="background-color: #9fff00; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here's a poem for all to enjoy... maybe. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">__ Pictures of You __ <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I walk around the school, <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Taking pictures of you. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">When you laugh and when you smile, <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Sometimes I stop and look at you for awhile. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I never talk to you <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">because I don't have the guts to. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I'm not like all the others. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I'm one who doesn't even bother, <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">To attempt to talk to you. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Don't get me wrong, I try to. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">When you cry, I want to comfort you. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I never come because I don't know how to. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">You never really notice me <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Or the fact that I take pictures of you like some creep. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I hide in the shadows where no one can see, <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">especially you because I don't want you to find me <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">taking pictures of you. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I leave some of them around for you. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">You never look happy nor sad. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">You don't think I'm a stalker either, which makes me glad. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">So I continue leaving pictures according to where you go. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">For some odd reason, I think you already know <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">That it's me. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Because I find pictures of myself near my favorite tree. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I leave pictures of you everyday <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">And someone did that to me in the same way. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I asked you if you left the pictures, but you denied it. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I tried to mask my disappointment, but I knew I couldn't hide it. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">For days I've tried to narrow it down, but I keep leading back to you. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">No matter how much you denied it, I knew what was true. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I left a picture of you near my favorite tree. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I got a picture of you right next to me. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I was confused and I gave up my premonition of it being you. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">But I still kept leaving pictures of you. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The pictures continued coming to me. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I stopped giving you pictures eventually. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Someone gave me a picture of me in a corner with the words "What's wrong?" <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I smiled bleakly and a thought occurred to me that stuck in my mind all along. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I continued giving pictures to you. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Now I was one hundred percent sure that it was you. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I gave you a picture of you near my favorite tree again. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I wrote on it "Meet me here at 2:10 p.m." <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">You gave me a picture of me smiling with a message "Sure" <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I gave a picture of you with the light behind you, making you look so pure. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I stood next to the tree, expecting you to come. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I stood there for a long time, watching the sun. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I had my camera in my hand and stood there. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I couldn't find you anywhere. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I checked my watch and turned around to leave. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I should've known you wouldn't come to see me. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">A flash went off on my back. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I stopped in my tracks. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">"Got cha" a voice said. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I slowly turned my head. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">With a camera, stood you. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I smiled at the thought of this being true. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I said, "I knew it. I just did." <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">She just nodded. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">"How'd you know it was me?" <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">"Who else would take pictures of me near your tree?" <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">"That means nothing. How'd you know I was taking pictures of you?" <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">"It was a typical thing for you to do." <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I muttered, "But you barely notice me." <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">She shook her head. "You're the only one I see." <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I stared at her. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I stopped and began to wonder. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">She continued. "You're the one that doesn't notice me." <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">"But why did you deny me?" <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">"I wanted to keep taking pictures of you." <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">"I love taking pictures of you too." <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">She held her camera and clicked. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I took my camera and clicked. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I pulled a pen out and wrote on my most recent picture of you, "I love you, do you love me too?" <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">She retrieved a recent picture also and wrote, "Not only do I love you, but I love taking pictures of you."

10-26-11 I have another poem for you guys to enjoy <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">__ Crazy About You __ <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">My footsteps resonate throughout the room. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I finally spot you. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">You see me too, but you look away. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">We lock eyes for a few seconds, but you seem afraid. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I find you multiple times, but you seem to avoid me. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">You walk around and trying to look busy. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Talk to your friends, going to the bathroom, starting to dance. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I want to tell you everything, but you just don't give me the chance. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I walk around, in my suit, smiling at others. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Hoping to catch you, so we can talk to one another. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">That night I never saw you again. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">It's like you disappeared because I caught you now and then. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">You know you're on my mind everyday. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">You know that you're perfect every which way. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">It's not rocket science that I'm crazy for you. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I've never stopped loving you since we were two. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">It seems a bit absurd, but that's how long I've been waiting. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I'm on the edge of my seat, anticipating, <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Praying that you feel the same way too. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Even if it's not to the same extent as I do. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The next day, I wait at the entrance of school. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">You ignore me because you think it's a ploy to act all cool. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I never cared for my status, I only care about you. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Sometimes I go ballistic because you're obviously with the wrong guy. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I never spoke up because I am too shy. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">If that's the fact, then I have no right to object. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">But my job is to protect. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">To protect you from harm. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Even if you won't be that happy and jump into my arms. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I'm not expecting you to fall in love with me in a minute, <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">But at least give me a chance, maybe you'll realize it. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">That night I thought about you. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">About your face, your eyes that are the shade of midnight blue. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Your wavy auburn hair and perfect white smile. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">That one smile that could let me run for miles. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">You're in my thoughts and in my dreams. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">You're everything and mean the world to me. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">You usually ignore me, but I don't care. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">As long as I get to see you there, <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Here and everywhere I go. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I'm crazy for you, just so you know. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Nothing can stop me from that, nothing. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Until you say you don't love me or something. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">You've never said that yet, so I still have time. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I still have time to change your mind. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Another week has gone by and you still treat me the same. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">In your eyes you hold nothing but shame. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Shame that you didn't tell me earlier that you have no affections for me. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Yet that still doesn't affect me. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I'll still love you, I don't care how many times you turn me down. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">That still won't alter my love somehow. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">You can throw every insult at me and I won't fall. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">As a matter of fact, I'll enjoy it all. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Go ahead, push me, knock me down, crumple each love note in your locker. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">That's just a sign for me to try harder. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Every time you try to give me the signal of mutual or hatred affections, I interpret it as you like me. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">You may think I'm mental to conjure up some crazy reason such as that, but I'm just crazy about you. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">You think one day I'll give up? <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I've learned to never stop. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">But one day I did cry. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I saw you with another guy. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">That crushed me, sort of. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">That was incentive for me to wake up. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Wake up and realize this is never going to happen. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">My eyes welled up and my heart saddened. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I never accepted it, you know. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I never let you go. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">You are the prettiest girl I ever knew. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Just so you remember, I was, and still am, crazy for you.

<span style="background-color: #9fff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Jeffrey Madison inspired me to write this poem. I hope this pleases you and everyone else! <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">10-29-11 __<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Not Really __ <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I'm talking with my friends, when you catch my eye. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">And I look away, but not because I'm shy. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I walk around the room, trying to avoid you. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I began hyperventilating, I didn't know what to do. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I tried to look busy and never get you alone. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I wish I wasn't here right now, I wish I was at home. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I don't want to talk to you, if I haven't made that clear. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I'm not going to yell that to you in this happy atmosphere. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I couldn't take it anymore, so I left. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">When I got in my bedroom, I wept. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Stop liking me, stop loving me. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I can't take the pain that may come with you loving me. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">You're a great guy, don't get me wrong. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">But you shouldn't love me, we won't get along. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">We tried, don't you remember? <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">You're the one that broke up with //me// <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">last December. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">You're hallucinating when you say I broke your heart. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">You're the one that tore mine apart. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Why do you twist the facts?
