Shannon Nicole Poems

Sleeping in a pile of garbage on the streets.
Only eating the fresh food on the ground.
Searching for change in the corners of curbs.
Sitting under a balcony, so the ran don't hit her feet.
...

Swimming in a place,
Can't see, can't breathe.
Pushed deep,
Lying at the bottom.
...

Oh sweet brother of mine,
How I am going to miss thee.
You are about to make a choice,
That will change everything forever.
...

I hate it when my throat starts to burn,
And my eyes start to cloud.
I hate it when my body starts to cramp up,
And my heart begins to race.
...

Sometimes I hold my breath as you tell me who hurt you,
Because I don't want to hurt you anymore with my words.
Sometimes I close my eyes as you cry,
Because I don't want to see your painful memories.
...

Close your eyes,
And dream.
Dream of a life you would like to live.
Deam of a place you would like to go.
...

Why do you have to confuse me?
Why do you have to say you miss me?
Stop lying to me.
You don't miss my smile.
...

She wishes she could lie awake,
And remember every breath she takes.
Sometimes I wonder if she thinks of me,
All the day I think of her, but she don't remember a thing.
...

Don't get caught up in any little, pointless games..
You'll get screwed with and messed up in the end.
Don't trust those you just met,
Even though you feel like they've been there a lifetime.
...

Dear Mommy and Daddy,

Sister said you weren't coming back.
So, I'm writing you this poem.
