  People-Watching

  

  By emilyann624, Norwood Young America, MN

  I feel so strange watching you, as if I'm guilty of some crime. I'm surprised you haven't noticed yet, I've been staring for quite some time. You act as though you own the world, as if you know everything. I don't think you do; you're young, but in your world, yo...

  A Girl in an Empty Room

  

  By emilyann624, Norwood Young America, MN

  Who is this girl that sits alone in an empty room? She mumbles something to herself expecting no one to hear. What is her name, I wonder so? Does she know I am watching? Does she see me standing here in these darkened shadows? I wonder what those tears are for and what is on her mind. Who ...

  Where I Was Born

  

  By emilyann624, Norwood Young America, MN

  This is the place where I was born, This house is older than I, These walls have watched me as I've grown, They've heard my laughs and cries. These floors are where I learned to walk, The hall is where I fell And broke my nose against the clock, and it began to swell. Don't ...

  The Evolution of a Backyard

  A world at war People dying not only on the battlefield But in their homes In prisons Children crying Their hands are covering their eyes To hide away the tears Hide away the hate A world at war...

  Henry

  

  By emilyann624, Norwood Young America, MN

  I can't get you out of my head, the way you looked at me under the stars, the song you wrote only for me to hear, the time you told me everything about you, the last glimpse that I ever got of you, I want to see you again, I want to hear you sing, I want to see you smile, I don't c...

  Change

  

  By emilyann624, Norwood Young America, MN

  When I am instructed to dissect and discuss Change, I am intrigued. “Hmmm”, I think as billions of ideas start to burst open in my brain. There are so many directions that you can run in with the topic of “Change”. It is always happening. Government, jobs, friendships, family; I could write ...
