Up alone at night
Wandering through my mind
Scenarios are there to find
I run with them while I can
Then it hits with a bam
Realty will never equal worlds of imagination
Nothing will give me that incredible sensation

Pops the drug that helps me rest
Every night, a desperate quest
Begging for my mind to go quiet
Waiting for the world to be silent
Voices are muffled and dronin’

To teens, sleep is a divine treasure
A good night's rest is a rare pleasure
Often robbed and taken away We stay up all night till we reach the day
Grumbling and groaning as time moves on
We try our best to suppress our yawns
We’re told to rest... – by Adelyn McPeters | 73 Views added 1 year ago

I am the moon
Under me, you swoon
You ignore the cracks and craters
Anyone who prefers the sun, you call a hater
You want me to be only yours
To keep each other safe, not let me soar
Alas, I am no one’s, not even my own
I am broken to the... – by Adelyn McPeters | 6 Views added 1 year ago

They step over me like I’m worthless
They don’t bother to look beneath the surface
The half-truths I've told and the lies I’ve spun
They can’t seem to see I’ve already won
I’m deep in their hearts and I’ve stolen their minds
When I burn their... – by Adelyn McPeters | 3 Views added 1 year ago

Extra credit for this class
The only one I have a B in
Watching letters shine through the glass
Thinking “where to begin”
Perfect for the break I took
When I found poems less exciting
Tucked away in a little nook
Writing and rewriting

Hide it, hide it, not too hidden
Hide it, hide it, in the kitchen
They’ll open the cabinet and see the doll
They’ll open the cabinet and lose it all
Charlie’s waiting, Charlie’s there
He’s waiting for you, so best prepare

My brain has hit a block
Listening to the ticking of the clock
I feel brain dead
There’s nothing in my head
My usual creativity has been drained
No thoughts can be sustained
No full idea obtained
I’m not sure it can be explained
The way I... – by Adelyn McPeters | 7 Views added 1 year ago

Tired and drained
The words etched in my brain
The simple explanation
For my lack of motivation
My little energy is stolen in school
Following every insignificant rule
Day by day I rot
Stressed about tiny things I forgot
What will this get... – by Adelyn McPeters | 5 Views added 1 year ago

Hot chocolate is steaming
Lights are gleaming
There is no doubt
Christmas time has come about
Children are screaming for toys
Teens are blocking out the noise
Parents rush to get their shopping done
And couples shower each other in love

Rushing
Rushing
Rushing to get done
Piles of work that weigh a ton
I feel I’ll never get finished
My grades will slowly diminish
Left scrambling for success
I can never make true progress
I finish an assignment and another one appears

Everyone judges her
Tells her to go away
She is never heard
Ignored everyday
They call her weird
Stuck in her mind
They don’t see the inside
She might have intrusive thoughts
But she’ll make sure you never feel lost
She’ll give you hugs... – by Adelyn McPeters | 6 Views added 1 year ago

I can’t find a book
Nothing around
In the classroom nook
I think I might drown
My boredom is suffocating
Eyes wishing to close
But I can’t sleep in school
And nobody knows
my mind goes blank too often
And makes unnecessary scenarios

This poem is something
I'm not quite sure what
I let my mind run
When I’m stuck in a rut
The wheels turn
As I learn
New rhymes and words
Sometimes it takes a while
To write a new piece
Other times it's a simple release
Poetry is an escape

Writing, writing, what is there to say
To create happiness and spawn dismay
To raise kingdoms, countries, cities
To burn them to the ground with no pity
To create love and break hearts
To form alliances and tear them apart

I feel the urge to leave
For no particular reason
The feeling crept up on me
And follows me season to season
I want to drop everyone
Be by myself
To simply bask in the sun
And read books off my shelf
I don't want burdens and societal... – by Adelyn McPeters | 8 Views added 1 year ago

People think they’re like the stars
That their mess is only beautiful from afar
Or perhaps the moon cracked, cratered, and bruised
They wish to become the sun and disappear in the night
They keep the true them out of sight
But their mess is... – by Adelyn McPeters | 6 Views added 1 year ago

What makes a villain,
Is it dark clothes
And a crooked nose
Is it the want to be alone
To be free to roam
Perhaps its the lack of talking
Or the joy they find in mocking
But surely the hero isn’t all rainbows
They just don’t let their pain... – by Adelyn McPeters | 13 Views added 1 year ago
