Poems!

Hey guys!

My cousin has inspired me to start writing poetry. So I wrote some poems in the past 2 or 3 days. I only wrote 3, but I thought that I would post them on here... These are 2 of them...

The 3rd one is on the other computer so I can't get to it right now but it's about BarlowGirl...

So here they are...

“Me”

By Amy Yarick

I saw all the pictures,
The movies, the shows
All the people with
A perfect body and nose
The I stare in the mirror
And look at me
I hate who I am
I hate what I see
Why can’t I be perfect
Why don’t I look right
I tried so hard
With all of my might
Then one day
I changed my thinking
And looked somewhere different
For my defining
I looked to my savior, my maker,
My lover
Who showed me I’m pretty
Without my cover
Now when I look in the mirror
I change my view
I smile at myself
And see something new
God thinks I’m beautiful
Just for being me
And that’s exactly who
He created me to be.

“Under those lies”
by Amy Yarick

I walked through the doors
Dressed up so nice
Looked around me
Everything was so precise
Then I take my seat
In the very last row
Trying to blend in
Maybe no one will know
They start to sing songs
And I try to sing along
But it’s so hard to do
When the lyrics aren’t true
Now those around me
Stand and shake hands
Then they begin to discuss
Their lunch plans
I try very hard
To wear my fake smile
But no one around me
Knows my denial
Now the man is done speaking
But I heard nothing he said
My appearance is bright
But my inside is dead
How could I not see
This place was a lie
I had no guts
I was just too shy
Maybe now I can open my eyes
To the person inside me
Under those lies
