poems by me

junior year

It's junior year

And it's no wonder

How my image has come from my peers

It's destroying my thunder.

I hate my life

My face

My strife

My body as we pace.

That old side of me

Comes up to see,

That destroys my every movement

That shows me my provement.

It destroys my laugh

It destroys my smile

It throws my thinning patience in half

It makes me want to break down in the middle of an aisle.

It destroys my self confidence

It shows me a depressed side of me

It shows me my unconfidence

It's as annoying as a flea.

I hate my every self

I hate my jaw

I want to throw my bookshelf

This is the last straw.

But what's this?

A golden strand

A golden strand standing amiss

A beautiful hair in a hair so... bland.

It's all over my head

Goes down my back

Almost underneath me on my bed

It doesn't make me thwack

That head of mine,

It's red

It's almost like a shrine

In me it has spread.

My heart is full of happiness

Of that head full of ginger hair of mine

It's what's made all these people full of sappiness

Of that i think is a crime.

To have self love is not a sin

For those that can deny

Throw all your hatred in to the bin

Because all the world is a spy.

Finding one thing on your body that you love

Is such a beacon to your heart

Because without this one love I would be without a glove

My hair is a thing that people can say that they cannot me apart.

*hey guys, sorry I haven't been posting! I've been in lots of stress and stuff especially considering I'm half way through junior year. but yeah, here's the poem I literally JUST wrote because I was bored and wasn't able to write in Uncovering a Secret (yes, I am currently trying to write in it as much as I can.) so I was like "hey Cait, I have an Idea for a poem" and I just started writing. and I don't normally write poems like this unless I have to for school. hoped you enjoyed!!! <3 Cait*
