Amanda Nelson Poems
My birthday’s today. I’m so glad.
My birthday’s today. Now I’m sad.
My birthday’s today. I gave you tons of clues.
But you couldn’t figure out the big news…
...
This is the first poem - well, technically it was a lyric - that I ever wrote. It was only when I was like eight. I fixed the spelling and grammatical errors but this is it. It really shows how far you've come as you look at your old work. =) I hope you get a kick out of it. It's sort of sweet, in my opinion.
...
You can try to make it out as nothing.
You can go along with your ways...
You can pretend nothing happened.
and ignore anything I try to say.
...
She twirls her hair with her finger.
She rolls her eyes behind your back.
She whispers things to others.
She's a drama queen, it's just a simple fact.
...
You can’t steal my heart
It was yours from the start.
You can’t force me to love you
If I already do.
...
How you sing,
how you smile,
it all makes me stop and stare for a little while
...
Do you know how I feel when you walk away?
When you say that the last time I'll see you, is today?
Do you know how much you mean to me?
That ever since I met you I've been insanely happy?
...
Why can't you forgive me?
You forgive others happily.
But to me you give a cold shoulder.
But, really, how could my life be any colder?
...
I hear their whispers as I walk.
I’m trying to drown out their ridiculous talk.
It’s like this everyday.
I have a few things I’d like to say…
...
I don't know what to say
I used to be happy
I guess I thought you meant something to me.
...
All I have is filled notebooks.
Scribbled out pages.
Written poems,
And unspoken rages.
...
Summer is supposed to be fun.
It's supposed to feel right.
You're supposed to get sun-burn
and stay up all night.
...
Amanda Nelson Biography
I really only got into writing poetry very avidly in the beginning of 2009 (this year.) English has always been one of my favorite subjects and I find it quite easy and enjoy it. I had my first webs.com blog for awhile before I shut it down. Only my best friends read it but they seemed to find it amusing. Then I went on to have several other blogger.com blogs. And I've always daydreamed constantly, chattered on and on, and always had dozens of opinions I was so very eager to voice. And whenever we were required to write little poems, haiku, or anything related to writing mine were always rather good for my age. One summer when my family had moved into a new house, we didn't have the internet hooked up for awhile or the TV. I was bored out of my mind and just swimming all day didn't cut it for my short attention span. I began messing around on Word Document on the computer. I couldn't e-mail, IM, rant, blog, or express myself in anyway other than writing on Word Document. I ended up starting a novel (still unfinished) and writing dutifully for it everyday until we had internet access again. I'd always written little rhyming parts of lyrics in all my notebooks before, but I never thought so much of it. I forgot all about the novel (called Pink=Puke) and only later, next year, did I pull it out again after my teacher had written on both my 1st and 2nd trimester comments about my writing. Things about how I take chances in it and he's eager to see how far I can go. I sent it to one of my best friends and she replied back wanting to know who it was by. I was utterly shocked that she thought it was an actual excerpt from a real published book. I explained that I had written it and she said she'd sent it to some of her other friends and they all thought it was magnificent. Another best friend, who I mainly contact through e-mail since we go to different schools, said she thought I would be a good author just randomly. By then, I'd started writing and had a few poems and unfinished novels. I'd never mentioned my writing to her or showed her any of my work but I wrote tons in our e-mails back and forth about this and that and the most random things. So, I told her that I did write and the next thing I did was gather all my writing, sum it up in one message and forward it to all my besties. They were all impressed and agreed that writing was a talent of mine. Since then, I've written a lot and have gotten much better. I write poetry and have a ton of unfinished novels. =))
The Best Poem Of Amanda Nelson
My Birthday's Today
My birthday’s today. I’m so glad.
My birthday’s today. Now I’m sad.
My birthday’s today. I gave you tons of clues.
But you couldn’t figure out the big news…
I’ve talked about it before today a lot.
It was my birthday today... Daddy, you forgot.
I got no presents from you,
Not like other kids do.
Their fathers always know.
But…so?
You’re still a great daddy, right? ? ?
Yeah, I’m fine… it’s alright...
Just because you drink that nasty beer sometimes,
And you don’t read me nursery rhymes…
That’s perfectly fine.
I’m yours, your mine.
That’s all I need to hear.
I’m not going to let that dreaded tear…
*Fall.*
It fell. I cried.
You asked what’s wrong with me. I 'sounded like I was gonna die.'
Well, daddy, can’t you see?
You forgot about my birthday, you forgot about me.
The day I was born.
Oh, daddy! I’m so torn…
I lied today.
Are you happy?
My teacher asked me what I’m doing for my special day…
I didn’t know what to say…
I told her you were taking me to Disney land
And that we would have a picnic at the beach and play in the sand.
She smiled sweetly and said I must have a very grand dad.
Daddy, I felt so bad.
You don’t even remember,
Dad, just listen! Look at the calendar!
Look at the month; don’t you realize it’s November?
The first,
The day of my birth.
The day I came into the world…
When I was just a little girl…
Daddy, I’m still small, eight isn’t very old...
My birthday’s today. I was so glad.
My birthday’s today. Now I’m sad.
My birthday’s today. I gave you tons of clues.
But you couldn’t figure out the big news…
I’ve talked about it before a lot.
It was my birthday today. Daddy, you forgot.
I’m ashamed of what I told.
I’m sad you don’t remember.
But, most of all,
I’m sad it’s November.
The first.
Well, I guess what losers say really is true...
first is the worst.
