Emily Straka Poems

You are my inspiration.
You are my shining star.
My best friend through it all,
the one I'll remember forever.
...

A choice to make,
a heart to break.
A lie to tell.
A dream that fell
...

Snobs and backstabbers, that's what we are.
One day we're your best friend,
the next we can't stand you.
We think we have to be ditzy and mean,
...

I have a secret desire of which no one needs to know.
This unmentionable want that has me aching so.
An unfathomable need for silence,
no matter how deffening.
...

Examining the world around me,
Making it through the day how I want.
In the eyes of others I may be a mistake,
Like I really care.
...

Laughter rises like bile.
It's consuming, like fire,
tortouring and unforgiving.
It's unloving and untrustworthy.
...

A passing glance is all people ever see.
We don't look deep enough,
dig far enough,
reach out enough,
...

A little girl once told me,
Cute as can be, this girl,
I know how to see the future.
'Cause seeing is believing and
...

I wish you could know what I can't bear to tell you,
I wish you could understand the truth of my side.
I wish you could know all my nightmares, so frightening,
I wish you could see the sin that I caused.
...

It was a terrible dream,
No part of the bigger scheme.
When you woke up you were weeping.
You didn’t realize that you were sleeping.
...
