I see myself in the mirror
I'm young yet full of fear
In my eye is a crusty tear
Of reflecting on my year
Started off in utter pain
And simply ended in vain
I'm left alone and insane
Sitting out alone in the rain
I do not know what to expect
I have new options to select
In all options, there's a defect
But all I can do now is reflect
Reflect on what is now the past
Reflect on what flew by so fast
Twelve bitter months out of grasp
And they sure won't be the last

Everyone is full of immense beauty
It takes someone special to see it
Only that special someone can see
True beauty hidden from the world
You may not seem beautiful to all
You may be pale, skinny and short
Or even a pearly tan skin and tall
Beauty is seen by someone special
You may think you see the beauty
But our eyes can deceive the mind
It's just the outer shell that you see
Inside could be a whole other creature
You must be patient for them to appear
Your eyes must be one with your mind
Maybe even face a newer pesky fear
If your heart and soul agree, go for it
Opportunities flash in the blink of an eye
Beauty is something not seen by us all
You may live life alone until you will die
But you know you didn't have fake love

Even though we rarely talk at school
We talk like best friends away from it
We always mess with each other daily
But it is usually me that's the culprit
Both of us have had a tough year
And now we try to forget the past
We rant to each other very often
We know that it won't be the last
To be honest, I think that you're pretty
I honestly think that you're not rude
I think that you are truly a sweet girl
Unless you're involved in a tight feud
Don't let other get you in the dumps
People do that to bring them back out
Ignore them and you'll be out on your own
And who knows, some guy may come out
He may come and help pull you free
Like superman to take away your heart
And not let it be ruined by anyone else
No matter what, even if it all fell apart
That's all I got to write to you right now
Now go to sleep if you haven't you meanie
Poem 2 of 2 that I sent to my friends to thank them for being there. Stacy and Cassie are the only two that I can trust right now. With Cassie, I mess with her because she thinks she's mean even though I think she's really sweet.

We've known each other for a few years
Since then we've shed quite a few tears
We met awkwardly in the boys restroom
During our band-camp lunch around noon
We then quickly became very close friends
And to this day, it hasn't reached it's end
I've been able to trust you since the start
We shared stories close to our dear heart
You shared to me about horrid past stories
And then I shared to you present difficulties
We've talked and shared numerous accounts
We could write sad books in large amounts
Just with the stories we shared to each other
Even though no stories seemed to tie together
Thank you for being such a great friend to me
And hopefully it'll remain as you'll roam free
Keep Brett close to your heart, no matter what
Even if you feel like punching him in the gut
Poem 1 of 2 that I sent to two good friends of mine just to thank them for being there. I've been enduring some tough times recently so that's the reason for the lack of poems. I'll try to get them more often.

You are definitely right
I have to move on now
I'll go to sleep tonight
With a brand new vow
Not to dwell on the past
Focus on what's to come
She will not be the last
I no longer feel numb
Reinvigorated with life
I see with new visions
New ways through strife
Making better decisions
I'm no longer indecisive
I'm thankful for the life hacks
You have shown me to live
Without dealing with setbacks
Now we must no longer talk
Because we must both forget
Well, just I have to now walk
You're already through all of it
Bye
I just talked my ex for the first time in over 9 months and she just told me I have to quit dwelling on the past and focus on the future. So I'm taking her advice and trying again to move on. I honestly feel like a semi truck was just taken off my shoulders

It was on a Thursday night
I had school the next day
It was during winter break
And I was up late at night
I was playing video games
I still remember everything
I was playing survival mode
On a map called resistance
I was on round seven or so
In the back corner of the map
You sent me numerous texts
Then I had paused my game
We saw it was getting tough
And then you called it quits
It truly was very tough at first
We still talked and it got better
Then one random day it stopped
March 17, you stopped responding
I continued to try to talk to you
But you just never responded
I sent hundreds of messages
With not one since that one day
Not one response since then
Even through all that I had done
I had numerous sleepless nights
Comforting you until you slept
I put your safety before my own
Even after we both broke up
It meant nothing to you though
I'm just a lost cause in the past
Nothing important in your life
To you, forgotten memories
To me, just distant memories
Part 4 of 4 in the "My Distant Memories" series. I decided to write this because I've been thinking about my ex a whole lot lately and I just feel I need to get some stuff out

It was two thirds of a year
It was a great eight months
Although it was very difficult
We pushed on to success
We faced major setbacks
Undesirable amounts of pain
And the last but not least
The fear of you leaving earth
In eight months we faces a lot
More than others in two years
Our relationship was unique
And it sure was special to me
But it seems like you forgot
It is just an evil presence to you
And although it's nothing to you
Our relationship meant a lot to me
