Ashleigh Stephenson Poems

People around you
Posers and fakes
Will they please be themselves
For the love of Pete's sake
...

'Hail to the Victors'
Is the Michigan fight song
Whenever you hear it at a game
It's sure to bring a mighty throng
...

I see you sitting there
Staying close to yourself
Not wanting anyone to come around you
When they do, you stare them down
...

Love is wonderful
Love is dangerous
Love is beautiful
Love is ugly
...

Angels sent from God above
To watch over his children
His little doves
...

In the stillness of the night,
A storm did blow in.
It knocked out all the lights
And lashed upon the windows.
...

i'm a simple girl.
i'm very complex.
i'm easy to get along with.
i'm stubborn.
...

I was born in Madagascar during WW5
I was crowned the princess of Finland the day I turned 2
At age 3, I was shipped to Lithuania in a wooden crate
And murdered my best friend when I was 4
...

i am going to take control
no more fighting with myself
i'm going to be who i was meant to be all along
with or without anyone by my side
...

I realized something last night
I don't have to be afraid to like someone anymore
I know I'm going to get hurt again
But I can't let that stop me
...
