Tashira Rodriguez Poems

I'm here sitting in class,
Listening to music, waiting for time to pass.
Looking around, to see other people,
From first glance, they think I'm simple.
...

Long distance relationships. Yes, they're hard and not the most convient. You have to be able to commit to someone you may
have not even met in person, or might not see very frequently. They're hard. But, in a way, it's better. You don't fall for
...

The past is such an unusual place.
Which holds memories we want to escape.
But it's already done, it cannot be changed.
It's set in stone, held together by our life's chains.
...

I remember it as if it were yesterday,
The day I was left speechless with nothing to say.
Arriving home, looking forward to seeing you,
Seeing your face was all I wanted to do.
...

Everything was normal,
Maybe a bit too formal.
Not a cloud in the sky,
Like our day-to-day life.
...

Love is something that amazes me,
You don't know how it feels from what you read and see.
It has to be felt to understand,
And know how much real love can truly withstand.
...

Life, it's such a simple word,
Only one four letter word, and our insides are stirred.
And it has a deeper meaning than it leads on,
If you get stripped from it, you'd be vanished, gone.
...

I'm usually happy and fine.
It's when I'm alone that I somehow find.
Something to make me angry and sad,
And to make me think thoughts I shouldn't have had.
...

The mask I put on isn't too hard to discover.
You just have to become a friend and the truth you'll uncover.
The story of my past which forever changed me,
And opened my eyes so the world I could see.
...

Closure, it was just what we needed.
Finally, some of the wounds have been treated.
It felt good to talk to someone in you past,
And to know that your memory will forever last.
...
