Teens Poems
I heard
by Tenna Linnet
Oh, I heard you
I know you didn’t pick up the phone
And I was just listening all alone
But it said more than a thousand of your words
Made more noise than a glass when it bursts
The glass was empty but my mind was clear
Never again would I shed a tear
So there I sat with no time to think
Before I went and threw up in the sink
Broken Young Minds
by Ashlesha Nandankar
Life full of grievances and prejudice,
He was young, broken, and fragile.
Crying under the sheets every night,
Who was he going to blame this time?
Life had been miserable once every while.
He was begging and grovelling for someone to reach out this time,
Anyone would be just fine!
There was no one to stay by his side,

my new favourite number

I don’t like rhyming.
I shouldn't so much explain the why but how 26 letters can translate this torment I'm enduring.
Like the words anger, sadness,rage all equal to 16 letters that cling to my skin like mosquitoes but with every suck a piece of my soul rips out of this sorrowed body.

Like every morning I wake up with a pit in my stomach that I fill with calculated ideas of me getting better that i'll try for the next day that I'll know will be different
and every night I go to sleep with the same pit of distress that this is the reality I own.
But i am special
The next day I wake up and use the new profound idea from the night before.
but this time i'm rotting

The world is in love with me!
by Reem Khalaf
They say when someone loves you
Or is attracted to you they tend to ignore you
oh how beautiful it is to have the whole world love you.
Sonnet 07: Dance Through Time
by Christen Kuikoua
Upon life's stage where shadows weave their play,
A fleeting waltz where mortals find their way.
In heedless youth, with innocence bedight,
The heart's true freedom, by time, is put to slight.
Oh, valor lost, in age's solemn gaze,
As years' cares, like chains, their toll displays.
Yet in the echoes of a child's sweet strain,
Lingers a melody, free from life's disdain.
