A girl
Far too young
To be worried about life
Sits writing overdone poetry
That asks too many questions
That won’t ever be answered
Because she’s too afraid
To ask someone real
So she continues
To ask her pen and blank page
To help her find the answers
She longs for
All she feels
All she thinks
Are put into verse
And they never feel quite real
To her
Once a line is written down
She will move on and forget
Because it has left her
For a stanza
That will never be read
By someone who could understand.

A girl
Far too young
To be worried about love
Sits writing empty imagery
That portrays things
She’s never experienced
Because she’s too alone
To love someone real
So she continues
To use her pen and blank page
To create the picture perfect moments
She longs for
All she needs
All she desires
Are put into verse
And they never feel quite real
To her
Once a  line is written down
She will move on and forget
Because it has left her
For a stanza
That will never be read
By someone who could understand.

I love this one because that's basically what I write about with poetry, perfect moments and a perfect relationship,  it flows really well and is so true

Um.

Okay.

Ah...

I only wish I'd been the one to write it. You just told me how I feel. Absolutely incredible...

I really like this! (My Mom enjoyed it, too! )I think this is a very creative idea, the way you used poetry terms. The poem flows very well...and the word usage, in my opinion, is perfect! Nice write! This will definitely be going into my library!
