A little late...

I know this is a little late, but I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I know I did! Sorry if I haven't posted any more poems. When my break started, I guess I took a break from my blog too. But no need to fear, coming up is a new poem!

Explain

Today was the last day of finals and I can honestly say that I did pretty well! I thought I was going to fail my Geometry, but I passed with a 95 counting the 15 point curve!

Here is the poem I said I would post. It's one of the 3 poems I was working on. This poem is not based on me, thankfully! The unlucky ones have gone through this mess that the poem is about. I hopefully won't get to experience this.

Told myself
To forget you
Yet here I am 
Facing you

Trying to rid you
Off my mind
The way you act
And be so blind

Don't want anything
To do with you
Didn't like the way
You didn't stay true

You were there
While I was here
You promised me
I had nothing to fear

Everything was a lie
From beginning to end
The day we met
And you began to pretend

I know the truth
Now explain to me
Why you lied
How can it be

Finals

I haven't really been posting because I have finals this week. Fortunately, the last one is tomorrow. After that, it'll be Christmas break! I'll post a poem tomorrow.

In Our Hearts

I'm sorry I didn't post yesterday. Did you hear about the Connecticut shooting? I can't believe someone had the nerve to kill poor, innocent children. I hope that guy got what he deserved. Because  of him, those kids won't get to get to have a chance at life. I can't imagine what those parents are feeling right now.

This poem I wrote a while back is about losing someone we love dearly. I hope this is a comfort to the people who lost loved ones in the shooting.

Death separates us
From people we love
Friends or families
They're up above

It takes away
A piece of our hearts
An illness or accident
It tears us apart

We grieve
And we cry
Until our eyes
Are dry

We feel an emptiness
A void that can't be filled
No matter what we do
No matter what we build

We miss them
With all our hearts
But we know
They'll never  part

Their memories 
We treasure
Never forgotten
Always a pleasure

Their knowledge
They impart
Forever they live
In our hearts

Nemo

Here is the Nemo poem:

Unique little fish

Looking for an adventure

Felt strong and confident

He went to find treasure

Disobeyed his dad

And touched the boat

When he turned around 

There was a diver afloat

Captured by the diver

Separated from his dad

He was put in a tank

Which made him sad

Strangers all around

Being helpful and kind

But it was his dad

That he wanted to find

Strangers became friends

They helped him escape

From the man who was

A look-a-like ape

He found his dad

Along with a new friend

They made their way back

And that's how it ends

Idea

Yesterday, a friend of mine told me to write a poem about Nemo. You know, the cute little fish who gets taken away from his dad?! Well, I wrote it and I will post it on here later on. 

14 Years

This poem is pretty much like the "Why" one. They're both about the same person.

14 years of wasted time
14 years of time has gone
14 years of second chances
14 years of missed dances

14 years he never tried
Never came
Never cried

14 years I've waited
14 years of disappointment
He's not here
And he's not near

Tired of waiting
For 14 years
Seeing if he'll come
After all these years

14 years taken for granted
Left alone and ignored
4 more years to go
Until I finally get bored

Quotes

I'm not posting a poem today since I am still working on my lost poems. Here's some quotes instead that are true and funny.

Gone

Remember the three poems I said I was working on? Well, they're gone. My brother dropped the device that had the poems and now it's not working. I can try writing the things I remember in the poems, but I have no guarantee that it'll be the same. Sorry guys, but you have to wait a couple more days or weeks to read it.

Christmas is Here

I wrote this poem a month before December. That's how much I love Christmas!

Christmas is here
The happiest holiday
That comes once a year

Santa Claus is the talk
Of every girls and boys
He's jolly and nice
And brings everyone toys

Christmas music
In the air
Smells of spices
Here and there

The roasting of nuts
near the fireplace
Cozy and warm
During the holidays

Christmas lights
And Christmas trees
Displayed for everyone
For all to please

Snow all around
White everywhere
Frosty the Snowman
For all to share

The time to give
And be together
To witness the miracles
No matter the weather

Christmas Present

Because I posted 2 poems yesterday, I'm not going to post one today. Instead, I'll post one tomorrow. 

Well, I think I just found out what I want for Christmas. Is anyone willing to give me $200 for a Kindle Fire HD? I love reading and a Kindle would just be perfect!

Reality

Since I am in a good mood, I've decided to post another poem. I started this poem a few days ago and just finished today. This poem is kind of depressing (no surprise there). Here it is:

What's the point of living
If everything is planned
Where fate is unchangeable
And fun is banned

Reality is cruel and hard
It's never fair
It tries to put you down
Without a care

You have to follow the path
That was made for you
Everything you face
Comes with it too

Can't escape destiny
That you must meet
Can't dodge it
It can't be beat

Life is predictable
There is birth
With every death
And there is love 
With every breath

A Rose Garden

I wrote this poem last night. It's a free verse (not rhyming). This poem is basically about someone that you loved and was once in your life, but is not anymore. I guess I got the inspiration from the book that I was reading last night. A friend told me that it reminded him of the book The Lorax. What do you think?

A rose garden
Once beautiful 
And once filled the land
With its aroma

Its beautiful colors
Brightened the surroundings
Red and yellow here
Pink and white over there

Then everything changed
Rain poured down
Gray skies replaced
The blinding sun

Leaves were scattered
Petals were carried away
To a faraway place
By the storm
That swept the land

Brown grass 
And dead rose bushes
Took place of the 
Once beautiful scenery

It's aroma 
Fills the land no more
Dust and dirt where
The rose garden
Once stood

Next Time

I have no poems that I really want to put on here tonight. I do, though, am working on 3 different poems. I have no exact date of when they'll be finished, but they will be on here. I'll have a poem up here tomorrow.

Here's a poem substitution:

Pageviews

Thanks to everyone who reads this blog! My page views are 350 plus already! Considering I just started in October, that's pretty good (to me)! Notice the punctuation marks are all exclamation? That's because I'm happy. I'm happy about the page views and something else! That something else is a little nerdy and lame. That something else is chess! I just beat the computer for the first time ever in chess (the setting was set to really easy)! It was really cool! Again, it's a little nerdy, I know.

Invisible, but Here

This poem was not written by me. It was written by the same person who wrote "I Wonder." This poem is about a person liking someone, but that someone doesn't know.

As I have previously said in my earlier poems, she is an amazing poet, but too lazy to write them. She wrote this poem last year. By the time you finish reading this poem, you'll see that she is a much better poet than me.

Do you know?
Even care?
Try to show
What's never there

Say it's so
It's really not
I say no
Yet, never stop

I try so hard
To be just friends
That's all we'll ever be
Until the end

If I could say
Just how I feel
Would you react?
Or is this real?

I'm content
But not for long
I need the chance
What's going on

You know what I mean
We match perfectly
Because I am for you
And you are for me

Why

This poem is a bit personal. I wrote it a while back along with other poems just like this one. Guess who it's talking about!

Why doesn't he care enough
To come and find me
To try and make things up
Why won't he

Why doesn't he find the time
To search for me
To do what's right
And come see me

Why didn't he say 
I love you
Why doesn't he say
I miss you

Why did he run away
Why did he choose 
Not to stay

Was it the responsibility
Or the everlasting fear
That tore him apart
When the time came near

In the mirror 
What does he see
A free man, a father
Which will it be

In the mirror, what I see
Is a forgotten daughter
Who looks like me

Time

This year has gone by so fast. I can't believe it's almost Christmas. I wrote this poem when I realized that time is so valuable and irreplaceable. You can't buy time, you can only enjoy it.

Where has the time gone
Blink your eye 
And before you know it
It's time to die

Time flies by
Without us knowing
It goes so fast 
Without it showing

Don't waste time
Enjoy little moments
Don't take it for granted
And be absent

No one knows 
How long we  have
Here in this place
We're all just guessing
The amount of days

Make each and everyday count
Live like there's no tomorrow
Like your heart isn't breaking
An filled with sorrow
