Shannon Monroe Poems

A girl.
I met this girl with a beautiful personality, but had a lot to hide.
A girl with compassion.
A girl with sorrow hidden deep into her heart, that only a key can open it.
...

As I step out of the shower,
I hear peoples voices saying, 'What a beautiful girl.'
And as I look into the mirror,
I don't see what other people see.....
...

I never know where I belong,
tThings are not how I've imagined them to be.
I can't sleep and I can't breathe.
Sometimes I just don't want to eat.
...

My farewell is a long one, I just have a lot to say.
Farewell to all of my teachers, you have taught me well.
You have taught me to grow with the world and with society.
You have taught me everything I know, and I say 'Thank you! '
...

He says that he loves me. He says that he wants to be with me forever. But do I believe it? I don't know the answer to this question, but in time I will.

I say that I love him. I say that I want to be with him forever, but does he believe it? I guess that I will never know the answer to this question, but I may already know.
...

I wanna cry, yet I wanna rejoice.

Everytime I see you, you're the burden that weighs upon my heart and soul.
Yet, it's lifted everytime that I am with you.
...

I heard your teardrops hit the floor as you watched me walk away.
It killed me to know that I was the cause.
I should've turned back.
...

On September 11,2001
Smothering black and gray smoke ascended to
The luminous blue sky
Engulfing it until it turned as black as night.
...

To Whom It May Concern,
Love has destroyed a young girl's soul.
Destroyed her life, her feelings
Her very thoughts are negetive, disconcerting and hateful.
...

This season weakens me.
It scorns and laughs at me.
It tears my heart into thousands and millions of pieces.
I can't stand it anymore,
...
