Poems By A Teen

Cold

I act cold.
I act so cold that I told you I didn't like hugs
When in actual fact
I really love them.
To be given a hug or kiss off guard
Is a really beautiful and special thing.
I pretend that being cheesy is annoying
But it's not.
I'd love for someone to be cheesy to me.
I do all this
Because I want to protect myself.
I'm actually a very emotional person.
I cry when a character dies in books
I laugh loudly
Because I want others to laugh with me.
I fall in love
With places
And with people
Too fast.
I believe that
Loyalty and trust
Are very delicate things
And if you break them
Then we shouldn't be friends
But
I give people too many chances
More than they deserve
So I get hurt
Time and time again.
So I lie
And tell you
That I don't like hugs
I don't like cheesy phrases
I don't like closeness
Or have an interest in being with someone.
