POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Pennies
To my future daughter
I never met you
I do not know if I ever will
I know absolutely nothing about motherhood
I am just your average young college girl
But I want to talk to you about happiness
Please
Be your own beautiful person
Follow your passion and speak your dreams
When negativity enters your life, use it as motivation
Wear your favorite color everyday
Do crazy things with your hair if it makes you happy
Play with makeup
Watch movies and read books of all different genres
Eat fruits and vegetables
Value your body
You...

Silent Garden
Vivacious reds, purples, oranges and blues
So pulsating and overwhelming
Chocolate brown eyes burn and melt by the feeling of energetic colors
Endless fields of the rainbow brush my legs
I follow the long and lazy green path
Until everything is black
Jet black
I feel little ghosts kissing the back of my neck and twirling my dark hair
They giggle and play all over me
Goose bumps rising on my pale skin
I fall
Deeper into Earth
I cannot keep up with Earths pace
Everything around me is now frozen
And dying
So pulsating and overwhelming
Chocolate brown eyes burn and melt by the feeling of energetic colors
Endless fields of the rainbow brush my legs
I follow the long and lazy green path
Until everything is black
Jet black
I feel little ghosts kissing the back of my neck and twirling my dark hair
They giggle and play all over me
Goose bumps rising on my pale skin
I fall
Deeper into Earth
I cannot keep up with Earths pace
Everything around me is now frozen
And dying

Teenage Girl Hell
13 years old
Experiencing puberty and hormonal changes
Braces, acne and child-like clothes
I was new to this cruel society
I loved me before I started living
Suddenly
I became self-conscious
Aware of pretty girls
Actresses, models, singers
I wanted to look like them
A new peculiar discovery I had made
Makeup
Some foreign tan liquid in a small bottle
Covers up flaws on my face and makes my skin tan?
Brilliant!
A little wand dipped in a dark mysterious black liquid
Makes my eyelashes long and...

Anxiety Attack
My mind is cloudy
Heart is heavy
I am dizzy and sweating profusely
The air is hot and thick
I am falling deeper and deeper
Into a black hole
Spiraling, twisting and turning
I am trapped in my own thoughts
Over thinking and irrational worries
All of my demons are choking me
I cannot be saved
Heart is heavy
I am dizzy and sweating profusely
The air is hot and thick
I am falling deeper and deeper
Into a black hole
Spiraling, twisting and turning
I am trapped in my own thoughts
Over thinking and irrational worries
All of my demons are choking me
I cannot be saved

My Devil and Angel
I am dangerous
But the sweetest
Most genuine person
I am hated
I spark vicious jealousy
But I am terrified of others
No one is better than me
I am the best
But I am afraid to be me
But the sweetest
Most genuine person
I am hated
I spark vicious jealousy
But I am terrified of others
No one is better than me
I am the best
But I am afraid to be me

Bliss
Wakening in the simplicity of fresh white sheets
The aroma of warm, gooey cinnamon buns fresh from the bakery
Sizzling gold sunbeams dancing on my tan skin
Salty warm air filling my sensitive lungs
Bay side breeze twirling my caramel brown hair
Hiking down a few blocks on 86th street
Passing the colorful boardwalk
Over the sand dunes
Into the cool, clear, and refreshing body of water
Floating, dreaming, wishing
I am a part of this beautiful world
The aroma of warm, gooey cinnamon buns fresh from the bakery
Sizzling gold sunbeams dancing on my tan skin
Salty warm air filling my sensitive lungs
Bay side breeze twirling my caramel brown hair
Hiking down a few blocks on 86th street
Passing the colorful boardwalk
Over the sand dunes
Into the cool, clear, and refreshing body of water
Floating, dreaming, wishing
I am a part of this beautiful world

Used
She is not a doormat
She is not “just another girl”
Mind games and liars got the best of her
In her eyes she had no value
“Oh well”, “On to the next”, “It means nothing”
It means something
Love yourself, or nobody else will be able to
Treasure yourself
You are more important than any other girl
Respect yourself
Know your limits
You are not a doormat
You are not “just another girl.”
She is not “just another girl”
Mind games and liars got the best of her
In her eyes she had no value
“Oh well”, “On to the next”, “It means nothing”

Love yourself, or nobody else will be able to
Treasure yourself
You are more important than any other girl
Respect yourself
Know your limits
You are not a doormat
You are not “just another girl.”
