Meredith B.

Just before the first snow comes,
The lake nearby is overcome
An icy shield is spread around,
Those underneath are safe and sound.
...

I'm not controlling it.
It's the voice in my head
You told me I was good enough
But I listened to the voice instead
...

I don't want to talk about it.
I don't want you to see,
I'll explain in a minute
but for now
...

The words don't flow the same
Right now they're hard to tame
No longer floating around in my brain,
I thought hard but nothing came.
...

She runs breathing hard
Branches draw blood as she tears them apart
Tears dancing in her face
Eyes gleaming with the light of the moon
...

The world is quiet but
Not my mind
It races with
questions?
...

Do you ever think
That winter might feel left out
With nothing to grow
...

Sky as dark as a deep black sea
The moon is a beautiful thing shining on me.
The stars compared to this brilliant light
Trying to shine with all of their might.
...

America is said to be
Home of the brave
Land of the free
But what about this tree?
...

I'm not good at math
that's just a fact
the numbers mix and spin
my brain goes off like a siren
...

I'm walking down a quiet street -
I don't think so
Noise is all I see
To escape I have nowhere to go
...

In all the world
There was not such joy-filled girl
As this one.
...

We're being robbed of everything right
Nobody has courage to stand and to fight.
There are words being lost, life comes at a cost
But now we need to stand with might
...

I'm in the dark, all by myself
Above my bed I see the shelf
Here Lost loved ones' memories lie
Here is where I start to cry
...

Coming home from school one day
Oh, how I longed for someone to play.
I had no sisters, only brothers
But they were too young anyway.
