"A PLACE FOR GREATNESS"
Artist: Anon
Eyes blinked countless times to stop a teardrop from falling,
Fear wrapped her being as her courage vanished,
She was scared and alone,
But she knew it was meant to be that way.
Unwanted thoughts came swirling like a tornado,
she kept asking herself why, why,
Why did she took the risk when she knew how big the consequences was.
All she knew was that it was all a mistake, a big mistake.
Every decision she made was a mistake.
Her kind smile was a mistake.
Believing that everything will turn out ok was a mistake.
Believing in a lie is a mistake when reality and pain has been present throughout..
With a single laughter, came a greater consequences to face,
Was it a fault to smile a little bit?
Was it a fault to think that the day will be a rainbow?
The answer was always a yes
Even a tiny though of a smile in her lips
Can create a disaster.
She couldn’t stop it,
How can she when all she knew was that no one will ever help
A nobody.
They wouldn’t understand because they were never in her shoes.
They are coming and she couldn't do anything to stop it,
She sat there waiting to be taken,
Waiting to die.

A Song About Salad
Everyone likes to write about love.
It's either that, or suicide.
I'd like, for once, a poem about ducks -
Not the complexities of humankind.
When every song is a love song
Or another macabre ballad
There's newfound appreciation on every occasion
Someone composes a song about salad.
I understand: love's something special,
And death's contrast is oft well-written,
But I wish to overdose on a rare bit of prose
Filled with nothing but puppies and kittens.

Street light,
Bronze yellow,
Shining dull to create these words
Freezing hands,
write in the cold.
Low sounds rumble past
Bushes cut short in post-winter fashion,
Rocks the same as always
Starry sky,
though morning rise.
Sidewalk pale grey
Under the bronze, yellow street light
Read a poem or two! They're all made from students here at STFHS.

I never really knew you that much
Only that you were a man
Only that you were a strong man
Only that you were my strong man
I never really talked to you that much
Only when we were alone
Only when we fought alone
I never really appreciated you
Only when you bought me stuff
Only when you bought us stuff
Only when you bought everyone stuff
I never knew how amazing you were
Only in photographs
Only in stories
Only in memories
I never thanked you for being there
Only when you held my hand
Only when you made me laugh
Only in a silent prayer
I never told you how much I loved you
Only when I was alone
Only when we were alone
Only when you never came home.
