Through the window
Through the window my mom I see
Wearing white garments beautiful and free
I view the sunset and I am sad
When my father visits I feel very glad
Whenever he leaves I am left feeling bad
I feel protected when he comes
I am tired of exploding bombs .
Internally and externally
others can’t see
The tears I hide
That only I feel.
Description
The main point of this poem is to express the sensation of tranquility when my dad comes to visit and the battles I fight inside when he is gone. Both parents are used to represent peaceful places. The window represents the view of the perspective of a child. Exploding bombs is used to express the feelings going off inside that no one can see. Most things here express an emotional battle that neither parent can see. What is left is just an appreciation for what I have and a cry for what no longer is.
This Valentine's
Once upon a time
I went to the store to buy
What is picked out was a tie
All this for a guy
My Valentine.
This valentine's my heart is free.
I don't know how it's going to be.
Things have changed
We have become estranged
This Valentine's,
I may be sleeping or contemplating at school
but..
There is one thing that I fear the most.
To see your face again one day
In the arms of some other girl
You love the most.
Description
The poem is based on a special month, the month of February, which reflects a month of love. The title was given because for Valentine's, things were about to change.
