Alone with only me, 

Who hates what he see's, 

A boy with parents who abandoned him, 

The closest mother I have is Aunt Kim.(Coupled rhyme) 

 

When I am alone I start overthinking,

Thinking about the times you abused me,

You cared more about drinking, 

I will never be happy with myself I guarantee..(Alternate rhyme) 

 

In fort plain I have no friends,

I know it's because I cheated, 

Now everyone hates me, 

Will I ever make amends???(Enclosed rhyme) 

 

My mom kicked me out,

My stepfather hates me with out a doubt, 

My father put drugs up his snout,

I have always gone with out....(Monorhyme, Perfect rhyme) 

 

Without a mom or dad, 

Who could help me grow,

Without someone to teach me good from bad,

Without a parent to teach me things I should know, 

Without someone to tell me I'm going to be a pro,

Without someone to show me how to be a man on my own, 

Who could tell people no,

I have always been alone.....(Ballade) 

 

I hate my life,

I will never have a wife,

I want to cut with a knife......(Triplet, Perfect rhyme) 

 

I can't make any friends,

And I am home alone all the time, 

But no one cares, 

So that's why I make rhymes.......(Chain rhyme)

 

I get dirty looks in school,

I'm such a fool,

Fool for thinking life would get better,

And now I can't forget her,

I messed up........(Limerick) 

 

My cousins are the only friends I talk to,

Everyone else only snaps me,

I'm alone and I don't know what to do.........(Eye rhyme) 

 

Airpods always in but I never win,

Win against depression and I am it's possession,

I want to be dead because it's in my head,

So please pickup the phone because I am alone..........(Internal rhyme, Perfect rhyme) 

 

I hate being alone with myself,

I feel like every day I am dieing,

You were right I can't live without you,

So killing myself will be my undoing...........(Feminine rhyme, Perfect rhyme)

The author's comments:

This piece was hard to write because I had to do research on different rhyme schemes. I don't think I got every single rhyme scheme out there because there is a lot. But I tried to extend my writing skills by learning different rhyme schemes and trying something different. I also wanted to write this so when ever I want to use these rhyme schemes. I will have a example in my journal to look at, I hope you like it because it wasn't easy. If you have any other rhyme schemes I don't know about comment down bellow so I can learn about more rhyme schemes. Thank you!
