The Friendship Dance
By Michele Meleen
Best friends for life, that's what we said.
Somehow now, that friendship's dead.
A new best friend, the same agreement made.
But, that too began to fade.
The friendship dance goes round and round eventually though, true friendship is found.
Dear Mom, It's Still Me
By Michele Meleen
Dear Mom,
It's still me you see.
I may look different, sound older, do more on my own.
But, I'm still me because of you,
I've just become the best version of myself yet.
A Hesitant Hand
By Michele Meleen
A hesitant hand moves closer to yours today.
Will we or won't we?
The Me in the Mirror
By Michele Meleen
Who is this person I see in the mirror?
What does he stand for?
What will he become?
The me in the mirror looks familiar, yet strange.
How can I match the me I used to be with the one I now see?
Loving is Losing
By Michele Meleen
Loving you means losing a part of me in you.
Lost in your eyes, at home in your heart, loving is losing the battle between head and heart.
Until Then
By Michele Meleen
Planning, prepping, hoping, wishing, the future hangs in the air.
Imagine and dream, until then
When future becomes now.
Poem About Becoming a Teenager
By Michele Meleen
Like a flower I blossom.
From seed to stem to bud.
The teenage years open wide as the flower allowing light and dark to influence my life.
Whatever, As If
By Michele Meleen
Whatever,
As if,
OMG!
That's all you think we say.
With brains of mush and selfish desire
The world dismisses our way.
Teening is Tough
By Michele Meleen
Adults say adulting is hard as can be.
But, it's nothing compared to teening as far as I can see.
Independence stifled, always met with a pause, never able to act like a rebel without a cause.
Teening is tough, good luck to us all.
Adulting will be there as comfort after the fall.
Free to Be Me
By Michele Meleen
No worries of work mortgages and kids.
No Joneses to keep up with.
No life dress code.
As a teen,
I'm free to be me discovering who I am and will forever be.
