Emily Vallee Poems

Twists and turns, ups and downs
Different choices, paths to pick
Over hills and down flat land, rocks and tar
I chose mine, now you choose yours.
...

When you cry you make me fall from your eyes,
While I fall from your eyes I think of you.
From all of the pain and all of the lies,
You wish you could go back to being two.
...

I'm a little Boston Terrier dog,
You don't understand what you do to me
I often get lost in the bloody fog
Can't you let me be who I want to be?
...

Today I picked a penny up off of the ground
I just had to turn right around
I went through the woods
And went as fast as I could
...

My heart beats strong,
But never strong enough
To get through all this pain.
I need help
...

Being in this cage makes me feel alone,
My brother and my sisters don't like me
So now I am left here all on my own.
How come you people can't just leave me be?
...

I had a task,
To fight a beast.
Right in the middle
Of a forest.
...

Put that knife down
It does you no good.
Causes you more pain,
Causes you to lose your mind.
...

Little drops falling from the sky
Never want to harm a fly.
They fall on me, they fall on you
They even fall on things that go moo.
...

I pray, pray to God.
Pray for things to turn right.
I feel ashamed,
But know I know,
...
