Shannon Atherton Poems

Racism is just so wrong
It makes people feel they don't belong.
It doesn't matter, the colour of your skin;
What's important is what lies within.
...

When you were put upon this earth
My mum felt she was blessed
But when she lost you she found her heart
Was ripped out from her chest
...

If I could be somebody else
Other than just me
I'd be the one that's popular
With friends from A - Z

It follows you everywhere.
It won't go away,
It'll just have to stay,
...

Christmas is the time of year
for celebration and good cheer.
A time to laugh and shout and sing,
and be thankful for everything.
...

Feeling alone, friends stay away
You spent time on your own today
The sky is blue and shows how you feel
Not even sure if this is real
...

I love my mum to bits;

But there's a little secret that
to no-one I can tell.

what do I see?
A beautiful princess?

...

A father is someone who cares
for their child. He is
caring, loving, and a good person.
A dad is always there, standing by his children -
...

My favourite teacher, Mr. C -
He was as funny as one can be.
Maths lessons were really fun;
in every challenge, I always won.
