Arielle Perkins Poems

I started on my homework
but my pen ran out of ink.
My hamster ate my homework.
My computer's on the blink.
...

I have in my hands two boxes,
Which God gave me to hold.
He said, 'Put all your sorrows in the black box,
And all your joys in the gold.'
...

A suicide note is the hardest to wright
looking around to see if there is any one in sight
you know you have planed this, now for many days
because of the pain, real in so many ways.
...

Love means starring at that special person
because to you there is no one else around.
it means telling them exactly how you feel with your eyes
and them knowing even though you haven't made a sound.
...

While reading these poems my heart wanted to cry
as the words and the meanings brought a tear to my eye
remembering the innocence of childhood
which I as a teen greatly misunderstood.
...

You're throwing it away, you're wasting your life.
Listen to me, calm down and act nice

You're too young to know what decisions to make.
...

Its amazing the things guys try to make us believe
Really, do we look that naive?

How many hours they spend during the weeks
...

You are so beautiful that it pains me to see you cry.
I know you want to do what is right but find it so hard to try.
I see though your hardened protective exterior
To the weak and scared child found interior.
...

Standing on the beach
Sand between my toes,
What lies of the future?
Who will come and go?
...

Four o'clock in the morning
Afraid to open my eyes, to a day so boring
Another day of grief,
A day of fear, I silently grind my teeth.
...
