Hey guys i wrote this for english class..we had to follow a format of another poem and put in our own personal feelings and stuff...so here it is i hope you like it...its nothing like i usually write so its a nice change i think  

There are secrets hiding in my room
With the stories of my past
Stories and tears kept away in walls
On Soft whispers
Stories of happiness and mourning
Tears and giggles vibrate the walls
Drops of Tears
There are memories hidden in my room
Poems and Diaries
The laughter of friends
There are pictures in my room
There is a little girl in my room
There is darkness in my room
There are a thousand flashbacks hidden in my mind
There is deceit in my secrets
There are a million sobs vibrating my ceiling
All kept away in my walls
There are cold nights in my room
There is heartbreak
There is the excitement of new love
There is the innocence of puppies in my room
There are echoes and screams
And wishes never to come true
There are tomorrows and yesterdays
And an old blanket for safety in my room
There are cries for help
There is no compassion
There is a tired and lost little girl in my room
A girl who has been through too much for her age
There are secrets hidden in my room
With stories of my past
Stories and tears kept away in walls
On soft whispers

Ooo this is really good! Walls often do hide things and you've described the walls and what they do hold well.

"There are pictures in my room
There is a little girl in my room
There is darkness in my room"
I liked the way you went from it being light with photos to dark with actual darkness. It's a simple progression that actually does a lot for the piece in three lines.

You've written a killer piece. It's going to the library. Hey, would you be able to tell me what the original poem was pretty please? I'd love to know.

"Kelly's my Hero!" "No, Kelly's your heroine." "Kelly has heroin??" "What?"

Really good, I've never written so good, at least not for english anyway!  I read your web page also, I must say both that and this poem are like echos of my own thoughts.  I sense you are like me and tend to kling to things for too long...  Well anyway (It was getting too deep for my currend mood), this poem is going in my library, and yea, what WAS the other poem?

Love will come and love will go, but friends are forever (usually).

Wow! I really liked this poem! "There is a tired and lost little girl in my room
A girl who has been through too much for her age
There are secrets hidden in my room
With stories of my past
Stories and tears kept away in walls
On soft whispers"
I liked that part the best...I can relate to it. ~Jess
