eve coleman Poems

The squeak of sneakers
The pounding of feet
The sounds on court
Are just so sweet.
...

Broken, beaten
damaged, scarred.
You don't have to tell these kids
that life is hard.
...

It’s hard being a person
In a world like our own
It’s hard being a person
When nobody knows.
...

The cookies said, “Eat me, ”
The drink said, “Drink me, ”
Alice followed instructions
Quite diligently.
...

Proud to be different
Proud to be unique
Proud to be a loser
Proud to be a freak.
...

I’m finally on the road
The road to
Nowhere.
No pit stops in society
...

The sky is dark
The day is bleak
It’s been this way
For an entire week.
...

Whenever you’re around
It’s so very tense.
Whenever we’re together
There’s nothing but silence.
...

She hides her scars
With long sleeved shirts.
She hides her pain
Despite how much it hurts.
...

I’d love to know why
Why she’s so sad.
I’d love to make her happy
But I’m the reason she’s mad.
...
