A broken heart,
Keeps on beating,
An open cut,
Will stop bleeding,

A lost soul,
Will find its way,
If someone loves you,
They will stay,

Don’t go crazy,
Don’t hurt yourself,
They aren’t worth it,
Their brain needs help,

If they left you,
They’re stupid and dumb,
If they are gone,
Their brain must be numb,

They know nothing,
They arent smart,
If they broke your,
Golden heart.

Prom is just a dance. It is just a dance with fancy dresses waving around the dance floor, everyone acting like they are Cinderella for a night. Well I, my friend, am too a Cinderella. I am a Cinderella without the happily ever after, or the handsome prince. I am the never ending Cinderella story, but don’t feel sorry for me, for I am not the only one. There are plenty of people out there just like me. Well here is my advice to you all; don’t give up, for all you know the next frog you kiss could be that prince.

When green is the grass,
My thoughts turn to spring,
And everything else,
This year will bring,

When summer comes round,
And suns burning hot,
I can’t help but think,
It’s my fault we fought,

And then there is fall,
When we’re back in school,
And every rich person,
Is closing their pool,

Then my thoughts wander,
To winter and ice,
When snow covers the ground,

You love him,
He loves you,
You hate love,
Yet it’s what you do,

I loved him,
And he loved me,
He let me go,
Says that I’m free,

Now you’re heart,
Says goodbye,
And he just sits,
Sits and cries,

He acts it out,
Like it was fake,
And all others think,
Soon you will wake,

Your nightmares not over,
Your dreams not complete,
Don’t wake up yet,

Real Life

By Samantha Rose Newell
Brattleboro Union High School, Grade 10

Now that I think about it,
Everything is real,
From the things you do,
To the things you feel,

Everything you touch,
All the tears you shed,
All the fury in your heart,
Is there until you're dead,

So don’t show your wrath,
Don’t show your fear,
Don’t bother with your enemies,
Just the ones you hold near,

Tears show your weakness,
But don’t conceal your pain,
For bottling up feelings,
Can drive someone insane.

Those eyes,
So big,
So hazel,
So phony,
Untrue to everything they stand for,
To everyone,

Saying it sincere,
But it wasn’t,
She hates me a lot,
Like she never loved,
Not me, not anyone,
But herself,

Selfish and spoiled,
She doesn’t even know,
Like she can’t even love,
Like she’s never been loved,
She hates and expects love,
No giving, just receiving,

My Yard

By Samantha Rose Newell
Brattleboro Union High School, Grade 10

It's where I go,
To run away,
To escape,
This very day,

It's where I talk,
On the phone,
With a friend,
Or all alone,

It's where I go,
To stay sane,
To live a life,
Subtract the pain,

To hear the sound,
Of rain and snow,
To feel the sun,
And watch plants grow.

It may seem strange,

Friends are forever,
And you were no friend,
So stay out of my life,
For our friendship has end.

It hurts to laugh,
With memories made,
Yet now you hate me,
And my heart you betrayed,

It wasn’t you,
It wasn’t me,
It was us,
Why can’t you see?

It takes us two,
To make this mess,
And you say it was me,
Please just confess,

You were there,
You saw it all,

My blood runs thick,
My heart runs pure,
Yet for this disease
There is no cure,

He was my love,
My life, my heart,
He will be the death,
As we depart.

People will run,
People will hide,
And for your life,
People have died.

Just take a look,
At what you will miss,
And what was there,
Please reminisce.

You know it was right,
You know it was true,
Because of a couple,

She looked at me,
With those big,
Beautiful,
Puppy dog eyes,
I taught her that,
And it doesn’t work on me,

She loved me,
Not anymore,
She hates me,
Like she always has,
But she hasn’t,
She loved me once,

She told me I should die,
I won’t,
But I considered it,
That thought quickly went away,
For good,
I love my life,

But I love her,
Like an attraction,

it died,
my heart,
he didnt answer and it hurt a lot,
but thats life,
you move on...
or your saposed to,
i cant,

he has another girl,
and im stuck here crying,
like a lost girl,
with nothing,
waiting for someone to pitty me,
and take me in,

its never going to happen,
ever,
i dont deserve pitty,
i dont deserve respect,
i deserve what im getting,
and thats nothing,

she look in my eyes,
like it was the first time she saw me.
i knew she liked me,
but i just rubbed it her face,
i liked her like i like everyone,
but she was the one i adored,
i looked up to her,
and she looked down apon me,

i dont knonw what to do,
its confuzing,
i loved her and she left me,
like i was gum,
under her shoe,
like i was crap,
stuck to a shovel,
she hates me.

You may think I’m crazy,
I just say insane,
For not liking any sunlight,
But loving all the rain,

I am only me,
Nothing more, nothing less,
And that’s both good and bad,
And it’s a clean kind of mess,

We were not close,
Just pretty good friends,
And hearts are freed from you,
I don’t want it to mend!

Peace

By Samantha Rose Newell

I am only human,
Mistakes are sure to be made,
It’s not like I’m going somewhere,
Or I’m going to fade.

I’m going to live my life,
With people that I love,
And the people that I don’t,
I just won’t think of.

My heart is set for love,
And my mind is set for life,
No need for weapons,

If your heart gets broken,
You will stay alive,
And if your pride gets destroyed,
I know you will survive,

Love is an idea,
And a broken hearts a thought,
So think the best of it,
Don’t cry or get caught,

If you “love” somebody,
I’m sure they will come back,
If they don’t that’s fine,
Just keep your life on track.

I can’t believe you hurt me
What did I do that was so bad?
That made it so you hated me
That made you so mad

I always will love you
And your love is all I need
No one will ever take your place
No ones mind ill ever read

I loved the way you looked at me
When our eyes first met
The first phone call you made to me
I thought our love was set

I guess I thought wrong

Heaven have mercy,
God take my hand,
All I need is a boy,
To call my man,

He can hug and kiss me,
In the rain,
And tell me I’m the one,
To keep me sane,

I will believe him,
And if it’s a lie,
I’ll be hurt,
But I won’t cry,

All is well,
And all is good,
Because good things end,
Just like they should,

It’s not like I’ll hate him,
Our love will be true,

I never miss a day
With my head on your chest
My heart was really beating fast
And I only did my best

I was hurt by the devil
You knew I was in pain
But I only had to think of you
In sunshine and in rain

Indeed you cleared the darkest clouds
And also cleared my mind
Of all the evil running around
To me you were so kind

Know now that I am over you

There once was a girl who lived in a world
A world full of family and friends
But who would of thought that when a friend and her fought
That very world would come to an end

Family was little, friends in the middle
Boys ran away for good
Apart we shall stay, unless there's a way
But we did all that we could

They have to pick sides, but through my eyes
Nobody wants to be with me

Haven’t you had thoughts of us?
Thoughts of me and you,
What might have come of us?
If our love was indeed true

People hugging and kissing
Doing what needs to be done
But really who needs love
When I’ve got friends for fun

This game you’re playing with me
You will never let me beat
You’re supposed to be a gentleman
Others I don’t want to meet

It’s all a trick you’re playing on me
Ill never fall for it again
I’ve made that mistake once before
I don’t want to remember when

The good old days when we were together
Hand in hand we stood
Living the life others wanted
Being who we could

Falling,
Waiting to hit the ground
Nothing
Not even the slightest sound
Peaceful
Searching for the ground below
Just waiting
For the sight of the ground to show

Life
Ending before my eyes
Friends
Remembering all the lies
A boy
The reason for all these tears
One person
The cause of all my fears

One heart
And the reason that it’s broken
One soul

He is everywhere and nowhere,
He neither loves nor hates,
And for your arrival,
You know this man, he waits.

If he sees you around,
You will know it in a flash,
For with a rusty machete,
Your ears he will slash,

He will take your life slowly,
And you will suffer soon,
Only one eyeball,
He will gouge with a spoon.

You will look funny,
With one eye and no ears,

It will kill off your family,
Your friends and your pets,
You brought it to life,
And that you’ll regret,

It will haunt you forever,
You’ll wish you were dead,
But you can’t seem to die,
It will tear you to shreds,

The one thing not known,
What could it be?
That haunts you forever,
And lives next to me,

People don’t know it,
But it works by my side,

You hear a yell,
You follow the sounds,
The closer you get,
The more your heart pounds,

You come to a door,
You know it’s not right,
But you open the door,
And your face goes all white,

You hate what you see,
But you know that it’s true,
Your best friend is dead,
And the murder… is you!!

She will hunt you down,
Tear you limb from limb,
Watch you scramble,
With a smile that’s grim.

She will start with your nails,
And work to your hands,
And then cut your kneecaps off,
So then you can’t stand.

She will shave off your hair,
And scratch at your face,
And cut off your toes,
And take out the mace.

This girl is insane,
Who is she you ask?

Love is but an idea,
That you think is with your heart,
From beginning to the end,
And then back to the start.

Boys that love girls,
Will leave them in a snap,
And then lure in another one,
Into his deadly trap.

Love is just a game,
With everything to lose,
And then they will find someone else,
And you will make them choose.

They will choose the other one,

I don’t know were your coming from,
I don’t know what to do,
I don’t know how you’re doing,
Or wish the worse for you,

Yet you know were I’m coming from
You hate everything I do,
But everything I’ve ever done,
Was because of you,

You tell me that I’m stupid,
And I’m dumber than a rock,
And every time I tell you stuff,
You tell me not to talk,

What is it with a broken heart?
That makes me wish to cry,
A heart that loved you very much,
Yet you wish for it to die,

I don’t deserve your hatred,
Or your simple tears,
All I want is your love,
That I had for all those years.

Now you left me in the dark,
Without a simple light,
I’m lost in this strange new land,
Were its always night.

I tried to talk you out of this,

Open your eyes,
please look at me,
i miss you so much,
but listen and see,

i miss the way,
you looked in my eyes,
and when we got dumped,
we watched carebears and cryed,

i miss the way,
you loved my hair,
and when you came out to me,
i was always there,

i dont know what you are going through,
but i know it must be tough
i love you, dont forget it,
