Turning pages
Beneath the oak tree
Reading
The sun burns
The birds chatter
The stream trickles past
A peaceful afternoon
Is all that's needed

My music blared
The people around my apartment complained
They yelled for me to turn it off
It was midnight
My landlord burst in and yelled at me
I couldn't hear a word he said
He turned off the music
"If you ever turn it up that loud again, I'm kicking you out!" He yelled
Babies were screaming and crying
Parents were groaning and becoming angry
Everyone didn't understand, except one
She understood
My downstairs neighbor
She used to be...

 I'm different than other teens, always have been different. I've been called odd and weird, but I think I'm unique. I'm different, and that could be good and bad. I have popular friends, but I'm not afraid to speak up against them. I have friends that are bi, lesbian, and gay. I always wonder, why am I this way? Why do I look like I'm angry all the time? Why do I write? Why am I different? Well, maybe I'm...

Eyes as cold as ice
Dark as night
But yet
They make me feel
Hope
Happiness
Nervousness
They invoke 
fear 
In others
He protects me
He told me he loved me
And never left
He sat down
And said
"You're mine, I'm yours. 
It's as simple as that. 
If you ever doubt
My love
Just look me in my eyes
And you'll see 
That I am in love
With you." 
His cold eyes
Became warm
His dark heart
Opened up...

Clocks ticked
Every glance
Showed that
Time slowed
Even more
Excitement overtook
Time passed

And

They didn't show
Reality set in
Sadness took over
Clouding her vision
She didn't notice
The person behind
Going through same

So
Two dissappointed souls
Spend the weekend
Wallowing in sadness
For they
Were stood up
Once again
 

Home
Some think of a house
Some a person
Some a place
Some a favorite thing

Whether it be
A book
A song
An instrument
Or device

For me
Home is
Many places
A book
The forest
My family

There are many more places
But what's your home
A house?
Your family?
Silence?

Silence is a home of mine
Home is comfort
Silence is my comfort
So is a book
My family

What's your home
Your comfort
Your happy place
