Some Old Poems

Hello, humans. I found a few poems that I wrote when I was in eighth grade for an assignment and I wanted to share them with you. Hope you like them.

*****

January Day

The wind moves the trees

Its leaves like a thousand butterflies

Flying for the first time

The green grass grows

Too slowly to be seen

Waiting to be cut again

The azure sky looks calm

Like the sea in a summer day

No waves, no ships, no movement

The clouds cry a thousand little tears

That fall down to give life to the trees

The grass thanks the sky for its rain

*****

Bliss

I open my eyes and see the sky

I stand up and start walking

Realization grows in me and confusion leaves

I remember this place

My heart leaps where it sits

My feet want to run as fast as they can

Happy tears fill my eyes

This feeling, it’s stronger than before

I’m no longer who I used to be

I let go of what I had and what I was

I now know I can’t feel bad or sad

For I am finally where I’ve always wanted to be

*****

25 and a day

25 and a day

Day of the great fail

I haven’t been here since May

And then the bake sale

Hair bouncing up and down

A high jump and a score

I feel I’m going to drown

October one plus twenty-four

Nobody said it was easy

Always there in my mind

Always feeling this uneasy

With nothing new for me to find

Three years have gone by

And still here I lie

I’m sorry because I haven’t posted anything in a while. I’ve been extremely busy (and kind of still am). The work ain’t gonna do itself haha. Also, I don’t like posting most of the things that I write (yikes). However, I’ve got many ideas and I’m thinking about maybe posting a poem. Let’s see if I’m bold enough.

Love,

Nan.
