A Book of Poetry for Teenagers




Product Details
Hearts
A pretty little heart.
So perfect in shape and size.
Hoping not to be broken.
 A sad little heart.
Broken too many times.
Hoping soon to heal. 
A happy little heart.
Not afraid to face the world.
Hoping to never be alone.
 A scared little heart.
Curled up in the corner.
Wishing for a way out.
 Age 14

The Stars
 The stars are so bright and beautiful.
They light the darkness of the night sky.
How did they get there I wonder?
Does anyone really know?
 Shooting stars, how they fly by so fast.
How you catch them at night out of the corner of your eye.
Where do they come from?
What are they running from?
 When you are out at night,
And you see a shooting star,
Make a wish from afar,
Share with the sky what lies in your heart.

My Shadow
 When I go outside and it is sunny,
I know I will have a friend by my side.
My shadow is always there,
It follows me everywhere.
My shadow does not mind,
For it does everything I do.
It loves everything I love,
And never argues or runs away.
 My shadow is there to stay,
Right by my side.
Until the day,
Comes to an end.

Age 14
The Rain
 I love the lightning,
The quickness.
How it comes and goes,
Whenever it pleases. 
 I love the thunder,
It sounds some mean.
As if it could really harm something,
When it has no effect.
 I love the rain,
Listening to the sound of it falling.
It sounds so comforting as I lie there.
Like nothing else matters.
 Age 14


I See In You
 
I see the rage in your eyes.
The hurt in your life.
The pain I have caused you.
Yet you hold me so close.
 
I see fear in your eyes.
Fear in your life.
Afraid of losing me.
Yet you continue to hold on.
 I see time in your eyes.
All the time you waited for me.
Hoping I would come back.
I still do not understand why.
 I see need in your eyes.
The need to have someone love you.
For someone to hold you close.
I do not think I am that person.
 I see happiness in your eyes.
Full of excitement to hold someone.
Happy because someone loves you.
Just as you love me.
 I see tears in your eyes.
For all the tears you have brought to mind.
Yet I hold you so close.
And I have not let you go.

Age 15
