Maya Reid Poems
You know
We’ve been through a lot together
We’re so young
And we haven’t really been close for that long
...
When all our friends and family have settled down,
and even your not-a-baby-anymore sister has turned to look at me, expectantly,
I’ll stand, smooth out the wrinkles in my just-classy-enough-to-not-be-skanky dress, and
clear my throat, preparing to ignore them all and speak directly to you.
...
You know, in my day
I’ve met some mighty strange folks
People you just might call crazy
But sometimes I get to thinkin’
...
The supreme architect
I created my own little world
For the you and I
In my head
...
You called me a bit past five yesterday
And asked if you could dropp by, visit me
“I haven’t seen you in a while, ” you said
I didn’t buy it, but said, “Come over.”
...
Today marks three years and still I don’t quite know
whether to tell you I’m sorry, I should have let you grow,
Or if this choice, all mine, was the best—because you see,
...
Together we fall into bed at night
There he remains when I rise in the morn
Our eyes flutter open in perfect sync
Feet touch the floor as we begin our day
...
For a while I was searching
On a quest
For answers or
Reasons or
...
We’ve been through it all
Ups and downs
Highs and lows
It’s been a long year
...
It’s easy to get lost
Inside the maze
Inside yourself
To lose yourself
...
Wow...look at you – fifteen
It seems like we’ve been together through it all
Through the good, the bad, and the in-between
Always lending a hand to prevent one another’s fall
...
We ended.
It was over.
This relationship,
This strange and unexpected love,
...
Firstly, get that idea that you’re old out of your head:
it’s funny, but as I get older, you seem to age
backwards. Sometimes you’re the youngest woman I know, a mother
who both teaches and learns, bounces back from her falls, makes me think of music.
...
My stepdad used to find himself friggin hilarious
And one of his favorite jokes was to say,
When someone had hurt themselves in some small way,
“Well how about I stomp on your foot?
...
The other day I “borrowed” your sweatshirt
You eventually stole it back again
I said I wanted it
Because it was so warm
...
I overslept
I missed the bus
I was late to school
I failed a test
...
As humans, we never really fall out of love
We move on with the world because we have to
But you fill the empty spaces of my heart
And not even you can keep me from loving you
...
If you were living my life
It’d always be your fault
The apocalypse could come
The sky could come crashing down
...
Maya Reid Biography
I'm a freshman at Princeton University, and I can't wait to take advantage of the amazing Creative Writing faculty we have here. I was first really exposed to poetry in the 5th grade, and I owe that teacher my very soul for bestowing me with this gift. Writing poetry is my passion, and I have yet to figure out what I'll do to pay the bills and support my habit of scribbling words on paper and hoping you all hear echoes of yourselves in my voice. http: //www.poetry.net/topsites/rankem.cgi? id=MayaReid)
The Best Poem Of Maya Reid
Through It All
You know
We’ve been through a lot together
We’re so young
And we haven’t really been close for that long
But even so
We’ve been to hell and back
Together
And the one thing everything has in common
From the pillow fights
To all the actual arguments
From the occasional days when I couldn’t stand to be near you
To the more frequent ones when that’s all I wanted to do
From the wars we waged against ourselves and took out on one another
To the love we showed as we stayed and did our best to stop the other’s fight
From inside jokes and shared smiles
To crying our eyes out and shared fears
From having been so alone
To feeling like we were at home with one another
From friendship to love and back again
From days we spent every moment together
To days when we’re together but we’re not
To days when we’ve been far apart for far too long
To days when we’re back and all’s well
Everything has one thing in common:
Every hurdle and every flat stretch
We faced them all together
“Us”
You and me
We’re real
Even though that took so long for you to say
And even longer for me to see
We’re real
And “us” is something even we can’t break
So
Through it all
Ups and downs
Twists and turns
Elated plateaus and unexpected pitfalls
We made it through it all
And even one quick glance at us now
Proves that yes, the destination was more than worth the journey
But wouldn’t have been nearly as satisfying without it
One quick glance at us now
If you know all the places we’ve been
Tells you that “us”
We ain’t goin’ nowhere
Together
We can get through anything
So the next time we trip over something we didn’t see coming
Or have to go without one another for too long
Remember that it, too, shall pass
And, in passing, shall bring us even closer
Absence makes the heart grow fonder…
There’s a point I’m trying to make here
I’m not sure you really get what I’m trying to say
So I’m gonna give it to ya straight:
After everything that we’ve been through
I just wanted to tell ya that I…
No, not yet
Let me make this crystal clear
I wanted to tell you that I forgive you
And I hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive me
There aren’t words to express how much you changed me, my heart, my life
So instead of stumbling around trying to find them
I just want to thank you
I want you to know that I’m better because of you
So what I wanted to tell you
Is that through it all, I’ve loved you all along
After everything that we’ve been through,
No matter where I go, how long I stay, or what I say
I still love you
I’ve loved you all along
And I always will.
