"So mature, yet so dependent When will I find my way? I want to grow up so soon, Yet run around and play   I want to be a child again, Yet know whom I&amp;#039;m to marry I still have dreams to fulfill And growing old seems so scary   I need an answer To guide me through this madness I&amp;#039;ve seen that the road to finding out who you are Can occasionally result in sadness   I feel so old beyond my years Yet sometimes I can be a baby All this confusion Is really making me go crazy   I know eventually I&amp;#039;ll find my way I need to stay true to me Meanwhile I&amp;#039;ll keep my head held high Until I feel completely free He lights the candle and stares at it with his sunken eyes. As the heat gets higher, the flame will rise and rise. Behind him is a chair made of leather and sits in it he does like the drop of a feather. Candle and man, uneasiness between the two is erased and their trust is like a bond This bond not breaking and their souls not shaking. Fears limited to very few. For the candle well knows, with a breath it will die And the man well knows with burnt skin he will cry. So there they stay, this unusual pair united, Night after night, day after day. And so they will stay. And have continued to stay. As they have for infinite years.  &amp;quot;One Special Guy&amp;quot; To: David Konitzer By: Halli Koeppe Dedicated to David for being a great friend and being sick with on kidney, he still is living well. As I look into the sky, I see a beautiful blue, as well as fluffy white clouds. But when the sun shines down, I see, bright blue eyes, and a highlighted head of blonde hair, The sun shines down on you, as you are, as special as it gets, from your niceness, to your greatness You know what your here for, and that is, to be everyone&amp;#039;s friend. But yet, the heavens look down on you, and their saying, your one special guy put on this earth And that is true, your loved by lots, as you love them back. I will always remember you. DADDY   As I look into the sky I often wonder why you do certain things you do if we are the reason why of if you have just fallen out of love do you ever stop and think why we as a family are not as close what made is start to sink of do you just forget about us you do those things yet you don&amp;#039;t realize how much they hurt us you make it so evident so I&amp;#039;m asking you now Do You Care About Us if you don&amp;#039;t Do us a favor get out of our lives   ~ Lauren, New Mexico I wrote this poem about my dad because he does many bad things that hurt my mother, my sister, and mostly me. So many things to say, but not enough time you accuse me of a horrible but not a wrong crime how many times will you let it happen and step aside why cant you just let go, swallow your foolish pride Now its over, you never gave it a chance you seemed finish without a second glance and yes, sometimes you need to forgive and forget but things aren&amp;#039;t going to change just yet I thought we had something good, why would you let this interfere I know what I need to do, a simple conversation with you, to make things clear. But in reality, its all my fault, I kissed him but he kissed me too I don&amp;#039;t understand what I did because all I want is you But things are changed there not coming back I guess there is something in me that I lack I wont let you drag me down you won&amp;#039;t make me drown I still love you and that&amp;#039;s understandable things are not going to be manageable but I have to stop being angry and trust that this is the way it is supposed to be. People&amp;#039;s families have gone to war Who knows when they&amp;#039;ll be back at that front door Some will be gone forever and others just until this is over Little children will look for a four-leaf clover Just to bring back their father or brother Never have I seen such a distraught mother What horror this war brings Can&amp;#039;t we just think of happy things Think of happy times you haven&amp;#039;t admitted Not of crimes being committed Why won&amp;#039;t this war just end So many hearts left to mend Even as the years pass bye All the people will do is cry As the last day comes Too many people won&amp;#039;t hear the drums For they will be lost in the skies With no one to hear their cries This will be a day for Remembrance Of all those heroic soldiers who lost their lives   Jaclyn Mustard, 13 The Spontaneous Kiss   He looked at me so intensely Revealing his seductive, sea-green eyes I met his stare with excitement and anticipation We moved towards each other Still holding the stare And he could see into my soul I suddenly felt naked and fearful Like a child stripped of innocence My inner secrets exposed And I was sharing this shame with another being I almost couldn&amp;#039;t bear it Yet, I longed so greatly to express myself to someone Unexplainable thoughts and emotions They&amp;#039;ve been trapped inside of me so long There is a hot volcano within me Threatening to burst and break out of my body An amazing passion screaming to be set free So, in clear spite, there&amp;#039;s an eruption And I grab him in my arms and plant a long, vibrant kiss on his lips I am overflowing with emotion Electricity rushing through my veins, connecting our bodies and our spirits He is responding with equal eagerness We are melting into each other I feel so powerful and joyous Until our lips release I don&amp;#039;t know what to say, what to do The enchanting wonder of lustful love is still in the air So thick I can hardly breathe He turns to me and gives me a smile I smile back, look him in the eyes once more, and walk away. ~ Kristin Margrave, IL , 16 The day goes by way too fast.. but it still feels like yesterday.. I still want you to remember me.. But it looks like its too late.. Yesterday burns into my mind.. I never got to tell you.. I&amp;#039;ve been wishing you were mine.. ever since the day I met you.. But it doesn&amp;#039;t matter now.. &amp;#039;cause I&amp;#039;ve lost my one true love.. I wish that I can just tell you.. that you were my angel from above.. I try to speak to you.. the words I&amp;#039;ve never said.. but you can&amp;#039;t even hear me.. &amp;#039;cause it&amp;#039;s too late now, you&amp;#039;re dead.. Why did they take you back? I need you here with me.. Why did they take my angel? Please come back to me.. I never got to tell you.. I need another chance to say.. that one day we&amp;#039;ll be together.. and you&amp;#039;ll be here to stay.. Just come back to me, my angel.. come back and help me fly.. I need you here with me.. Come back, and I&amp;#039;ll tell you why.. I have a secret but cannot tell. It haunts my mind, like a cursed spell. It is about me, It is about you. It&amp;#039;s about a time when we both knew what life was meant to be. I should have known right from the start you wouldn&amp;#039;t give a penny for my broken heart. The timing is perfect the wounds are deep. But still my secret I must keep. For even if it haunts.... and burns, and taunts. It is best to keep secret; What lies beneath. For you For a severed smile for a withered while for a one and only that&amp;#039;ll walk 5 miles for a sweet surrender for a sixties twist for some grey september morning bliss for a guitar string for a song you&amp;#039;d sing for that I&amp;#039;d give up anything "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
