Winter Poetry Edition


"Music"
By Paige Glenn


Soothing to ears

Calming of the mind

Transforms your heart

Cleanses the soul

Stimulates creativity

Creates a new sound

"Relationships"


By Monica Segeren

What happens when you find that special someone?
You finally fall in love and feel appreciated.
They don't care what you look like,
Respecting all of the morals you have,
Making sure you're both happy no matter what.

What happens when you and that special someone break up?
Heartache will swell in your heart
Suffocating every breath you take;
Looking back on distant memories
Realizing all the feelings you had were all a lie.

What happens when you still want them back?
Even though they've hurt you beyond you can handle,
Hoping that just maybe this time will be different
Getting lost in the world of nostalgia
Pretending like nothing has changed
That it's still all the same...

What happens when you're the one that's wanted back?
Do they think the same way you do?
Is it worth getting trapped all over again
Battling the monster of depression-
Will things ever be the same again..?



"The Ones in Our Lives"

By Monica Segeren
Family
Is always there

Even when life isn't fair

Friends
Are there for you until the end
They fix the hearts that need to mend

Lovers
You don't have to be undercover
Some might have the same comfort as your mother

You
The one person you know the best
The one that can get you through the rest.


"Taken for Granted"

By Monica Segeren
We tend to take things for granted, we always swear we'll never lose those things.
When they all disappear- the things and people we once loved; you're stuck there:
Wondering what really happened you skim by the fact that you never appreciated them.
Why would you do that? Why would you rather wish loneliness over loyalty and tranquility?
Would you rather have all the money in the world, or the most expensive gem of all time: your soulmate.

Somewhere you know that taking things for granted will never be satisfying-
Someone out there loves you to the moon and back, but you're just too blind to see.
Sometimes you just have to open your heart and mind, and just give into reality- to love in return
Such things like this aren't going to be here forever, you need to appreciate them and
 never take them for granted. See what I mean?
You have everything you could ever need right in front of you,
 but you choose to be blind and ignore the truth.

Open your eyes and you'll see
Open your heart and you'll love
Open your mind and you'll realize
Open your hands and someone will take it with theirs
Open yourself up- you'll see what has always been there for you.


 

“Life”
By Mike Porch


Men throughout the centuries have battled with the age old question, "Will I be remembered?”
Men are remembered for great deeds, whether it be of valor or of passion.
Fear is the obstacle you have to overcome to be remembered.
Fear cripples men and women from truly living.
The greats of the world have overcome that fear and we love them for it. 
Fear only has the power you give to it.
Courage is not being fearless, but to see the fear and to overcome it.
These men overcame it, can you?
