You who is not afraid to speak your mind
and does not care what they think
who is open to anyone and anything
whose sparky attitude gets you along
but you know it's all an act
who knows they way you talk is all for the people
whose social norm stops you from being you
who isn't afraid to stand up for people
who is not afraid to give their opinions
who cares about you though?

their words hurt
never will they know
their actions cause pain
so deep it cuts like a knife
their words stick to me
the way glue sticks on paper
but
their words don’t define me
i raise above their actions
i am me

Dialogue Poem ISO
I am born today.
She is so precious.
I am confused.
Her eyes are so blue.
Why can’t I have a snack.
Dinner is almost done.
Why can’t I have a snack.
Because dinner is almost done.
Please.
Good morning, how are you feeling today
Leave me alone.
What’s wrong.
Get out of my room.
I’m down the hall if you need anything.
I don’t need anything from you.
Happy 15th birthday, do you like your party.
Thank you and yes.
You seem upset.
I wish things were how they used to be.
We all do, you have come too far to give up.
It’s too hard. I trust you to do the right thing.
I didn’t think I could do it.
I always you had it in you, congrats grad.
Thank you for coming.
Wouldn’t miss it for the world.
I love you.
I am so proud of how you have become.
I am moving out today.
We are going to miss seeing you around here.
I’ll visit you guys all the time, don’t forget me.
How could I. Goodbye.
Call me when you land.
I will.

I speak the truth
the words come out
without ease my opinion
is given
and although it
is the truth it comes
only with my
short temper.
Forgiveness is what
i want

Fourteen
Freshman year.
First day of high school.
Sports, new classmates,
new teachers, better friends.
The lost hope of still being a kid.
The present of your new life.
No more worry of strict, pointless rules.
Freedom from the second you
walk into those doors for the first time.
To the day you leave for the journey ahead.
The future of you.
The road in front of you is just starting.
The support is needed now more than ever.
The start of a new beginning, a new life
a new way to start off every morning.
A new desire to be what you choose.
I stood there, fourteen.

THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO SURVIVING HIGH SCHOOL BETTER THAN YOU NORMALLY DO
DON’T BE TOO LOUD
I am not telling you no to be yourself but there is nothing more annoying than walking into school on a test day and all you can hear are the screams of the obnoxious classmates who “can’t wait to get this over”. There is a way that for you to speak your mind without yelling.
LEAVE THAT DRAMA IN MIDDLE SCHOOL.
We were all there once, you know when the littlest thing goes wrong and all you want to do is post about it? Hold back the temptation and just save the attitude for a rainy day. It might seem important now but pretty soon that fight you got into with your best friend won’t matter.
BRING HEADPHONES
I cannot stress this enough, have your headphones with you 25/8. You can listen to music, block out the yelling of the kids that I mentioned earlier or just wear them so people will get the hint that you don’t want to communicate with individuals today.
DON’T BE THE ONE KID THAT RUINS IT ALL.
You know who I am talking about. The one person in your History class that always has to left everyone know the first thing that comes to their head whenever someone says anything. The one kid that doesn’t listen to the teacher and pentalizes the whole class for it. It’s not funny nor cool that you made the whole class take a 3 mins of silence like we are elementary schoolers.
USE YOUR HEAD
Before you ask a question make sure it has not already been answered. For example if your question is about why the x has to be squared, but Schrauben has already been over it the don’t ask unless you don’t actually know, or if you just walked into class.

“The more I think about it the more I realize
that you aren’t the one for me”
-Clisch
Most days I can’t tell what you want.
You say it’s too hard and too much but you
stay, why? It hurts to know that someone
else is getting all your attention. All
the things you give them I crave.
Am I invisible to you?
Most days it’s like I can’t talk to you
without fighting, it never makes sense to
me how much your mood can change in
the matter of three seconds.
You know I try to make you happy.
There isn’t any reason for us to be like this.
Please don’t go, don’t do this to me.
There is no need for us to be fighting
it was a mistake, I don’t know why I
beg for your forgiveness. It just makes no
sense how you can go from loving to hating
in just a few seconds.

Stand out
Out of the crowd
Out of the social norms
Out of whatever it is
Out of the needs of others
--Be willing to speak your mind and say your
opinions, no matter what they say--
Wow
Cool
Sarcastic tones when I try to explain something
consumes my thoughts
Your words made me like this
I listen to the music
I read the books
I can’t help but think that the things they said
were true
I have some problems
with my personality
my facial features
the way I look in the mirror
The only thing I have is my voice
The only thing that makes my mom proud is
my voice
I can’t get up in the morning and not having an
opinion on the littlest things
Why?
Just having a rough few days mom
