Alexandra Yeboah Poems

Here's my poem:
...

I hate to see you hurting,
lowered eyes,
slumped shoulders,
tears crawling down your face,
...

I was always that girl
you passed by in the halls.
As I struggled to pile my books
into my locker,
...

Don't think of this place.
In this place you lie awake all night,
nightmares dancing around in your dreams,
fear causing you to break out in sweat.
...

She was alone,
All alone.
Feelings of loneliness
and sorrow gave way to
...

Ribbons of salt water,
Emerge from deep within
Two eye cubicles,
And flow,
...

He hurts you.
Like a raging lion
he pounces on you,
sinks his teeth into your flesh.
...

I walk across the stage,
the whole school looks on.
the teachers are smiling,
the students are cheering.
...

They stand face-to-face with evil everyday.
To them, Evil has a name, a voice, a spirit.
He draws them close, caresses their bodies,
kisses the napes of their necks.
...

Hair that gleams like golden light,
Skin the colour of alabaster.
Eyes that dance and twinkle bright,
Your lips, a curtain that draws back to crack a smile.
...
