Poems I wrote in the 9th Grade:

Timid Tears

Sometimes I start off the day
with timid tears in my eyes
Not wanting to let go of the surroundings
Just not letting go
sometimes I end the day
with timid tears in my eyes
Only coming out when I do not look
Only coming out when I do not know
The timid tears
with the wonder that is built in
From my temper of glass
and my feelings so thin
the timid tears come
from deep within
they glisten down my cheeks
make me hurt deep down
I try to hold them in
But they come and they do not go
Only when I am not looking
Only when I do not know.
