I did a semester of poetry in English at my high school. I had to right 4, and this one is my favourite. It's a narrative poem.
Wind catches the sand,
Throwing it at me
Stinging my ankles like angry bees,
Like vicious teeth
A gust blows the grains to my face,
Making me splutter and spit
Eager to escape,
I run to the crashing ocean
The waves are ferocious,
Pulling me under
The suns heat blocked out
Warmth stolen from my skin
Trapped in a current,
Legs thrashing,
Water tugging at me from every direction,
I slip beneath
Wind catches the sand,
Throwing it at me
Stinging my ankles like angry bees,
Like vicious teeth
A gust blows the grains to my face,
Making me splutter and spit
Eager to escape,
I run to the crashing ocean
The waves are ferocious,
Pulling me under
The suns heat blocked out
Warmth stolen from my skin
Trapped in a current,
Legs thrashing,
Water tugging at me from every direction,
I slip beneath
David and Molly
The pain in my moyo is to strong,
As it is for wewe that i long,
wewe came to me suddenly,
I fell inlove with wewe almost instantly
wewe aliiba my heart, but ran away,
Leaving me in sorrow, and in wonder of why wewe came,
Was it in the intention of this heartbreak;
au was it to achieve all the sorrow wewe could create?
In your eyes, i was easy to lure,
wewe alisema wewe were sick, and that i was the cure,
I feel like such a fool,
I cant believe i fell for you,
My upendo for wewe has become like rain,
As my moyo bleeds in pain,
The memories now being to play,
I only wish wewe stayed.
My mind keeps displaying,
picha of us talking and laughing,
I couldent see the bad,
wewe seemed like a decent man,
But i guess i was wrong,
This is just another fairytale gone wrong

"Monica" I heard my mom say "we are going to be late." So I looked up at the white clock my mom had hanging in the hallway and yelled "i'm coming." Nick my yonger brother was yelling "come on sis I don't wanna be late again Mrs.Wilson already alisema if i am late again I get to go see Mrs.Hall the principle." So I sreamed back "maybe a trip to the principles office will do wewe some good." And I ran down the steps into the white and yellow jikoni and told my mom "come on lets go"

when wewe feel like giving up like no one cares like no one feels the way wewe do theres a reson for that every ones difrent no ones the same poeple feel difrent about things so never give up never let you'rself die never cry just because wewe can't go on go on anyway never be afride of whats around the coner because when wewe give up wewe let yourself die and you'll never see whats around the coner if wewe give up you'll never win if wewe giveup why not die and save yourself from all the weakness of giving up when wewe feel like giving up DON'T!!!
I ask myself if what i'm feeling is real I ask if there is a word for this pain and anger and hate I ask myself is there a word for all the upendo and hope and faith I ask and I wonder I guess and I long for the anser I ask my self would it be easyer to stay away from the pain au would it be easyer to feel the holes with all the upendo and I hope that my anser one siku will come I look and tafuta untell I can not anymore and that is when I give up and I found my anser not to try that when that anser is ready to come it will and that no one may force it to so I ask myself to be willing to wait.
My chest feels so tight, i think i'm going to burst. I don't think I've ever been this angry in mt life. UHHHHHH! I just hate how I start to cry when I'm mad.
How come I can't just let it out?
I don't need an answer, I already know! I'm so afraid of people not liking me, even when I don't like tham, that I just can't be me!
I HATE myself!!
NO, I know I shouldn't hate myself; I should hate my mother, I just can't be what she wants. And I can't tell her she doesn't hear me, even when I try. But I really cant stand her. She has no idea who I am an she never will.
But after everything I've been through, I know that I don't upendo my mother it's the farthist from it!
It's hate!
I Know hate is such a strong word but It's true and I can't ever forgiv her for what shes done to me!
I just want her gone!!!!

Distant Hearts <3
I knew this upendo wouldn't last,
Even with our bright past,
We still had that distance between us,
For our mistakes; Are broken hearts,
Our hands were joined but our hearts fell apart,
As we were cursed with distant hearts,
And now, We part,
As the clock re-winds,
I picture our hands entwined,
As i go back in time,
I remember how your upendo was so kind,
and made me feel so alive,
Tears roll down my painted eyes,
As i wish for my demise,
Without you, Life is a suicide,
Your face reflects in the mirror,
Your expression becomes dim,
And in your eyes,
Sparkles of sadness shimmer,
Between us is there still love?
Is there zaidi that we are yet to discover?
Will wewe still be my lover?
Will we get to be together?
True upendo is what we were,
But the distance was our curse,
As i sing this verse,
I wonder if you'll be back...
and.. If.. You'll Reverse..This..Curse!
