Sister poems by teens
Young, wild and free
- by Arianna Stockwell 59
She ran through the fieldsYoung, wild and free
That cheeky smile she wore made my heart rejoice with glee.
I never thought a spirit like hers would ever fall down,
But it's what we don't expect that has the greatest effect on everything around.
Her heart was pure and loving,
Her eyes as fierce as a crow,
Her voice as sweet as the humming, of the birds down in the hollow.
Everything she knew was happy,
Away in a world to far for us to know.
As she fell asleep in a bed of roses,
She left all troubles and sorrow.
Never did she grow old or see the pains of this world.
Her innocence contained until she can awaken from this Winter blow.
So hush baby girl, go to sleep.
Away from the real world,
To keep you unique.
Perfection
- by Sophia 58
I look at you and see perfectionI look in the mirror and see the opposite.
I see what you do and know you will succeed
I know what I do and I will fail forever
I watch how they look at you and I see pride
They look at me and I get disappointment.
I hear how they talk to us
Lectures for me, praise for you.
You were always better at everything
I could never hate you, but jealous? I am.
I know that I burden everybody I know
Everybody loves you
They all hate me.
You say you aren't perfection
But I know those words have no meaning
