Teenage

When people see you they see
Your accomplishment,
Your looks and style.

They might not be the same,
But they are just different,
People don’t need to be hostile.

You are capable,
No matter what they say,
No matter what they think.

You are you,
So try as they may,
You don’t need to get in sync.

You are remarkably different,
You are perfect the way you are,
So get out and be the great you.

Don’t let others make you change,
Just be the shining star,
The wild dreams are yours to pursue.

And remember,
Different doesn’t mean Incapable,
You can do what you put your mind to.

The time of your life,
when you get married and have a wife,
or husband or whatever, nobody cares,
for all you could imagine
is the story of Goldilocks and The Three Bears.

Everyone has a different type of path to guide their way,
Worshipping God everyday,
They feel like this is the way to Heaven.
Their lucky numbers are probably eleven.
But this is their life, we don’t need any stupid laws.

We know what is wrong,
So please do not make the same choice twice.
We know what is right,
And they are not going to give up their fight.

I draw my lines in silver,
Each dancing around the other,
The floor gets busy, and they begin to glide into one another.
My silver seeps, into every inch,
my silver covers, every intrusive place,
my silver embeds itself, layer upon layer.

Silver weaves in and out,
A warming flowing river,
The current is mesmerising,
Pulled in, it drowns you,
Head under, can’t breathe,
Nobody can find you here.

It holds my hand,
A friend.
My beautiful hidden friend,
The longer we are apart the more I miss you
I yearn for your cold touch.

You touch places that nobody else will see,
Just you and me.
Can it always be, you and me?
Nobody else is there for me like you,
My crutch, my dependable.

people around me
yet I’m so alone
voices shouting
but not my own
crying my heart out
trapped in this room
with no escape
I’m begging for you

Reading is a door to the imagination,
where you’re transported to any place you can think of.
Reading is a door to other universes,
whether they exist or not is up to you.
Reading is a door to dystopian lands,
tragic and lonely with no way out.
Reading is a door to fiction,
as soon as you stop, reality crashes down on you.
Reading is a door to so many other worlds,
it would take a lifetime to count them all.
Reading is a door to islands,
some could be amazing to stay at, others you’d only ever want to leave.

I am learning that I don’t always have to make noise to be seen,
that even my silence has a spine, a rumble
and says, I’m here – in its native tongue

Thank you for all your care
Even more just for always being there
And for seeing all that we have in us
And for helping us reach all that we can be.
For seeing how much we are capable
And for the creativity that is unscalable!
You are truly inspirational
As all your ideas are sensational!

One day I woke up
to see a bright sun
that looked so pretty,
just like my mum.
She smiled at me
and told me its gonna
be okay, she hugged and
kissed me then said,
goodbye and have
a nice day.
I went to school and
I was very shy because
it was my first day there.
I thought I would not
make any friends
but I was wrong.
A girl asked me to be her friend,
her name was Jasmine.
She is so pretty and
she has always been there
for me and she makes me
the happiest when I’m sad,
she says it’s fine and
and takes me back to my dad’s.

I’m amazing at soccer,
I’m the best in my class,
better than Olivia, Sarah and Leah,
I’m great at soccer,
better than Maria, Ava and Mia,
My best ever skill I have to tell,
all the coaches say I do it so well,
it’s nothing.

New Beginnings come from any region,
any town,
any country
any crowded city waiting to be found.

In Winter,
Everyday is a soft, chilly breeze.
Most animals hibernate so they don’t freeze,
Collecting their food when the time is just right,
A space so small, so tiny but possibly cosy and tight.

In Spring,
Flowers start sprouting and saying their hellos,
Possibly even loud enough you could hear their bellows,
Rain, sun, wind, or fog,
Please remind me to take my daily jog!

In Summer,
We have heat waves that are too hot to cope,
Having cold showers with soap,
Sleeping with Blankets off,
We all need a layoff.

In Autumn,
Leaves fall from big trees,
Orange, red, brown, name all of them, so much to see!
Having hot meals for every meal,
Maybe your favourite colour is teal?

New Beginnings is what we all find difficult and different,
Just please know, this isn’t deliberate.
It’s time to tell yourself “I can be independent!”
Because one day you could have your dream job of a flight attendant.

Remember every new beginning will mean something to you,
Maybe the same as your friends who stick together like glue,
It’s okay to be worried, scared or shy,
Everyone’s different and that’s a wise guy.
