Breanna Verkon Poems

High school friendships rarely last
Eventually school becomes a blurry past
As we get caught up in our lives
Forget to be good husbands and wives
...

Who do you think you are?
You think you’re a shooting star,
You think you’re going to go far,
You think you cant scar,
...

At the grocery store my mom and me
I tell her when Im seventeen Im free
She tells me its a mistake
And her heart breaks
...

My biggest fan respects my personality
He always thanks, congratulates, and praises me
My biggest fan is the greatest man
Knowledgeable and thoughtful he always has a plan
...

Bottled hydration in the bag
Eye lids start to sag
Hair in face
Mind in space
...

I have happiness in me
Soon I will be free
You will no longer restrict me
You will no longer control me
...

Other than the times you have hit me
Other than making me feel like a nuisance
Other than calling me countless names
Other than treating me like a know nothing
...

If you see them say that I am sorry.
If you see them say that I regret any harm I've caused,
That I truly care about them,
And that a part of me will always miss a part of them.
...

Freewrite on these buildings walls
Spray paint like Niagra's water falls
This is our city, our land, our town
Let our freedom of sharing be unbound
...

Day one without eating
My body has taken a beating
My stomach is on fire
Food is my only desire
...
