I miss you already

I miss you already

I miss you already
And you aren't even gone.
I don't want to think
About being alone.
Although that last statement
Is honestly not true,
Because deep in my heart
I will always have you.

Summer break is almost here.  A lot of my friends will be graduating and moving away.  My boyfriend is going to go off to law school.  People are going home during the summer vacation and will be gone for several months.  This makes me sad.  :-(  I'm going to miss everybody.  My roommate and I will most likely crumble into a spiraling depression together and curl up into a ball of sadness doing nothing but watching sad chick flicks and eating ice cream to comfort ourselves.  That makes us sound really pathetic.  Well, we will definitely miss our friends who are graduating and moving on to other things in their lives.  We will miss those who will be gone for the summer break, but won't see until August.  It's just one of those things that is a part of being a college kid and having to deal with the school year coming to an end.  It's hard to deal with, but the friendships that we have and share are what will keep us strong and together even though we may be hundreds of miles away.  Thank goodness for email, texts, facetime, skype, facebook, snapchat, snail mail, and all other ways that we can keep in contact with each other.  I've just gotta remember to keep myself occupied to distract myself from missing everyone and to remember to stay in touch with everyone who is important to me.  I have many great friends that I have made over the last 4 years.  And I will try my hardest to keep them going because they all matter.

unconditionally

unconditionally

why choose me
i'm not perfect
i have flaws
i make mistakes
i'm not impressive
why love me
why am i special
surely there
is someone better
someone smarter
someone who could
give you more
why choose this broken
substandard being
with countless imperfections
but to you
those things don't matter
your focus is different
you see past my flaws
my imperfections
my rough spots
instead
you see my strengths
and all of my beauty
you see more
you see my heart
you see me for who i am
you see me for what i am
and for what i want to be
you see me for what matters most
as the one
you love
unconditionally

Here's a poem about love that's unconditional.  Why ask all the questions of the reasons why someone loves you when you have all these faults?  They know you have them, yet to them it does not matter.  Why I bet that they probably have some of their own.  And you probably are the same way.  But even with those faults of yours, a person who truly and unconditionally loves you will see past those imperfections and love you for all that you have to offer and all that you are.

I'm deciding to post this poem too just because I'M SO BEHIND WITH POSTS FOR THIS MONTH!  Maybe December will be better.  :-)

It Is You

It Is You

What’s wrong with me?

Am I obsessed?

My heart keeps pounding

Inside my chest.

What did I do

For something like this?

I must be in heaven

Everything is bliss.

I can’t get enough

I need more each day

No one can change it

I must get my way

It’s hard to say

What’s inside my head

But without those feelings

I’d rather be dead.

What can make

Me feel so alive?

It is you babe

That makes my heart thrive

I know that it has been a while since I've written anything.  Here's an old poem I wrote when I was in high school.  November may be a slow month.  School is getting busy and soon Thanksgiving break will be coming up.  Hopefully sometime I can catch back up and be posting on a more regular basis.  

The Ghost

The Ghost

There was a ghost
Who was the most
Frightening of them all.
He would scare
Here and there
On Halloween in fall.

Howling at night

Giving a fright

Using all his scaring smarts.

He would rattle some chains
And his ghostly remains
To put fear in others hearts.

Here's a little poem that I quickly (and poorly) wrote in the spirit of Halloween.  I know I've been behind with posts and I've been having some trouble with my creativity when attempting writing.  I hope with my fall break coming up I will be able to get back to that and maybe get ahead a little bit.  Share, comment, and let me know what you think.  Maybe take a peek at some of my other poems.
