I have a goal set for summer break! I am asking everybody to try to post at least one poem even if you do not like poetry. If you are really scared people will make fun of you, enter a different name for this one time. Hopefully, we can reach 100 poems by the end of the Summer Break! Think you can do that? The limit of poems per person is 3. Thanks!

Look in the mirror

Smile

You're happy;

Put on a mask

Laugh

You're fine;

Everythings fine;

Lies

Lies

They have no end

But here you are

Standing in front of a mirror

Smiling;

You're fine

What else could you be?

(Yes it's slightly sad, but this is about dealing with body issues and a warped self-perception, while pretending to be okay)

God

God is good,

He loves us,

Despite his mood,

Some people might make a fuss,

But he loves us unconditionally!

Another night turns to day

See the stars and the night fade away

Watch the hope rise

And the darkness falls under disguise

But you one lost boy it stays dark

Watch him with a broken heart

People think his heart's made of coal

Because he puts on this ridiculous show

Hurting everyone

Even the ones he loves most

Everything in his life

Always full of pain and strife

Lost boy, what's in your head?

You can fake it till your dead

It won't change a thing

Open your eyes and see

Your not the only one hurting

Look and see the light life is bringing oh so bright

But you are losing yourself to the night

Lost boy with the heart so broke

It seems your eyes have not yet awoke

Can't you see what's right in front of you?

Cause there's another breaking heart too

One filled with sadness and hate

But she's getting better, even at a slow rate

It doesn't help when you shut her out and make her cry

Making her hate grow to the sky

All it takes is a few of your words unkind

Are you really that blind?

This poem is from my new book "When the Morning Dawns Early":

WHEN THE MORNING DAWNS EARLY

When the morning dawns early everything is green

And everything happens that cannot be seen.

When the morning dawns early gold streaks the sky

And for that reason i do not know why.

When the morning dawns early creatures dwell

And the sun swells.

When the morning dawns early the world begins to wake

And from that moment I shall know my fate.

Here is another:

STOP LIGHT

Trees wait in ques

Waiting after a long snow

For the light to turn green.

Here is the last one:

THE NIGHT 

The night is dark

The night is cold

The night is forever still

With a owl swooping overhead

And a wolf howling

The night is free

For  all the animals that call it home.

My poem is called freinds hope you like it!
 
      If you fall I will fall with you,
      If you cry I will be your shoulder to lean on,
      If you need a freind I will be there for you always,
      For we are freinds.
Hope you like it!
 
P.S. This represents me and my freind

Where I am from poem.

I am from a flower, fully bloomed, from the white house, chaotic, noisy, but fun, I am from Finland, growing up cheerful and happy, it sounded of noisy happiness. I am from trying to jump off a picnic table, trying to fly, failing, but still trying. I am from a flower, wilting down, leaving the Earth.
