These are some random poems I wrote in high school…none of them recent. They are copyrighted so no stealing! 
I wrote this in September 2006 about a dad. In high school I cried all the time because I just wanted a daddy, I am again utterly amazed at how this poem written four years ago still describes exactly how I feel to this day! I hate it when I look back on my life and realize how much I haven’t changed. It seems I’ve always just wanted a man to hold me at night.
Desperate I stand
And broken I call
Out for the man who
Loves me after nightfall
After dark he comes
He’s never missed a night
He’s there in my dreams
To make the hard things seem alright
My pain is not more
All my tears disappear
Everything is good
When in my dreams he appears
He holds me on his lap
And he hugs me really tight
He tells me that I’m beautiful
Then he kisses me goodnight
I call him my daddy
And he calls me his girl
He tells me his life’s and oyster
And I am the pearl
He loves to spend time with me
Laughing, eating, and praying
He takes me to the tennis courts
We’ll spend the whole night playing
He takes me out to movies
And buys me popcorn too
He taught me my volleyball serve
Every night it’s something new
He starts to fade away
I know mornings almost here
“Please don’t leave me daddy!”
And I start to shed a tear
As the morning light hits my face
I am reminded of the truth
This man is your dad
And just a figment of my youth

I wrote this in 10th grade (2006) when I was really struggling with some relationships. Changing just a few lines could make it identical to how I feel now…
Memories are dancing
Casting Shadows on the wall
As I lay here on my bed
Reliving them all
I remember the beginning
It started last year
So fun and innocent
Spring was finally here
I remember back to summer
When the sun was shining bright
Flip Flops and movies
Made everything seem alright
Then school time came again
And our friendship kept on growing
But the more lies I heard
The less truth I kept on knowing
I thought I was doing okay
But then a noise caught my ear
I heard chains rattling
And footsteps pounding near
I didn’t have time to turn around
Before the chains grabbed my neck
They wrapped around my body
And threw me off the deck
I couldn’t talk
I couldn’t think
There was no time
I just started to sink
I sank down in the water
Now I’m at the bottom of the ocean
How did I get down here?
What caused this big commotion?
So now I lay here stuck
Just wondering how to get out
All these lies, they ate me
And buried me in doubt
I am living for your approval
I am longing for your touch
I want you to hold me
And tell me you love me much
I am living for your acceptance
Just tell me that you’re proud
And for the whole next week
I’ll be walking on a cloud
I don’t know how I got this way
But I wish that I could see
How I ended up down here
And gave you control over me
I over-analyze and try to change
With every little clue
But all I really want
Is to be good enough for you
I try to be a good girl
I want to do what’s right
But this has come too far
It’s time for me to fight
The only way to win this war
Is to hold on to what’s true
But it seems to me
That might mean letting go of you
So please pray for me
Make me courageous and not a coward
Let me wake up feeling refreshed
And totally empowered

I wrote this in 11th grade. There was a girl in my high school who got dumped by a guy she really really REALLY liked. Since I went to a small school, of course everyone knew. This girl and I weren’t particularly close friends but I knew how much it hurt her. I knew that she would lock herself in the bathroom at school and cry for hours and miss class. I could see it in her eyes – the way there were puffy MONTHS after he left, and the way she never got any sleep, and the way she didn’t small anymore. I wrote this for her
Little girl, little girl
Don’t cry there all alone
Little girl, little girl
Don’t sit there and moan
Little girl, Open up
Let God’s love be shown.
Little girl, little girl
Don’t let your feelings hide
Little girl, we all know
You don’t need him by your side
Little girl, it’s okay to cry
Over a love that died
It’s okay to scream “enough!”
Little girl, little girl
No need to act so tough
Little girl, little girl
Regrets, you must let go
Little girl, God loves you so
Little girl, little girl
I know it hurts but this will help you grow.
