Trust

I am blindfolded.

I cannot see.

She leads me through the woods.

Holding my hands and walking backwards.

I smile and laugh, feeling free.

She stops, and so do I.

What is it? I ask her.

Do you trust me? she responds.

With my life, I tell her

I can almost hear her smile as she continues walking.

Careful, she warns. There's a ditch.

With her guidance, I don't fall in.

She stops again, so I do too.

She removes the blindfold.

I bask in the sight of her beautiful face.

We are in a meadow almost as stunning as her.

Flowers blossom all around.

A crystal river flows.

All pales when compared to her.

I love you, I tell her.

I love you.

  • Maybe Someday

    Ya know

    Sometimes I don’t think

    That things will ever get better

    Sometimes I don’t see

    How they really could

    But I’m not always like that

    Sometimes I think

    “Maybe someday”

    “Maybe it will improve”

  • Worry

    Hello

    My name is Jaden

    I am fifteen

    And this is a poem

    About me

    About how I feel

    Being a teenager

    In 2025

     

    Distance

    Rain

    Endless nights

    With no end in sight
