So...as some of you might know, I had a little brother. He was born when I was three, and he died when he was seventeen days old because of problems with his brain. People say that I can't miss him because I never got to know him, but I saw him and he smiled at me and I have pictures and memories. No-one can tell me that I have no right to feel sad about the death of my brother. So because on the 21st October 2008, he would have been 11, I wrote a poem yesterday.I don't know how I'll get through school tomorrow, but I'm going to try. This is "My Lullaby"

 My Lullaby

Although you’re no longer in my life,
You’re always in my heart,
You’ve always been my little brother,
Right from the very start.

October the twenty first,
Almost eleven years ago,
A little boy came into my life,
Oh brother, I love you so.

And although you left far too soon,
For me to know you well,
I know that I’ve got to look forwards,
And on the past I just can’t dwell.

I’d love to give you a giant hug,
And whisper in your ear,
“You’re my little brother, O,
And I really need you here”.

I send this, on a floating cloud,
Certainly not a goodbye,
May my voice reach you wherever you are,
A big sister’s lullaby.

 

I Want To Be...

 

I want to be a hero,

Brave and strong and true,

I want to be able to do anything,

Like Superman, and Batman too.

 

I want to be a celebrity,

On the cover of every mag,

I want to be rich and famous,

Maybe even be a WAG.

 

I want to be the very best,

(At least, the very best I can be),

One thing I know I’m the best at,

Is being one-hundred per-cent me!

 

I have some friends

Who iv never seen

Although I know them quite well.

 

And although I haven’t hared their voices

there’s one thing I can tell

I really really really do feel,

That I know them very well

 

Their always there to talk too

And they All give good advise

(I know this to be true,

As iv used it once or twice)

 

They make u feel, gr8

Not only that,

Every time I chat 2 them

They always make me laugh

 

We do lots of grate stuff together

And we play really good games,

We’ve had a beach party, a few comps

And our chats are NEVER lame

 

Id really like to thank them

For brightening up my day

There all, a big part in my life now

I feel I have to say!

 

I really do think the lot of them are extremely fab

I don’t think I have said this, no- I don’t think I have ever

I’m saying it now, so remember it

Your all my friends forever

 

You should have guessed who this is by now

And if not, well fancy that!! :O

Its ALL the __YCNet Team

and EVERYONE in the chat

 

 

i saw a fly   

 

i saw a fly , he saw me to ,he flew an flew to see what he could do ,he liked it,i didnt ,he smurked , i didnt so  just pretended  i liked him.

 

the  end

Heyhey!

I have been writing poems about bereavment for a competition and id need your comments on them to make them better.

The first one is called I FAILED

you told me about a party,

Where everyones gunna get stoned,

I tried to stop you going,

But you just looked at me and moaned.

You said I had no social life,

An anti-social Freak,

But I had better things to do,

Especially in that week.

The day came upon us,

And I thought about you lots,

Wondering if u went,

If u were gunna drink those shots.

Then the day turned into night,

And I  thought id give you a text,

Then when no reply came back,

I wondered what would  happen next.

I didn’t get to sleep till 1,

But was awoken by a call,

I heard that a car you were in,

Had crashed into a wall.

I'm  really lonely without you,

My one and only best friend,

All I have now,

Is a funeral to attend.

The next poem is called 200 words my limit.

200 words my limit,

To write down how i feel,

but i only need this stanza

because your death is so surreal.

The next poem is called why?

Why did you have to go?

Why couldn’t you stay?

I would have been your friend forever,

Forever and a day.

 

I’m sorry if I upset you

Or caused you any pain

I’ll always have fond memories

You’re imprinted in my brain.

 

 

We had happy times together,

The ones I can’t forget,

We also had our moments,

The ones I really regret.

 

I shouldn’t be thinking about the bad times

As there were plenty of good times too

Like the day we went to the cinema

And the day we visited the zoo.

 

I sit here looking out the window

Staring in disbelief

How could god take someone so special?

And cause everyone so much grief.

love Shona

An amazing place, with amazing people

When you simply look at me,

Just take a glance and you will see,

A strong young girl with a good willed heart,

I dont let them see I'm falling apart.

 

Outside I am perfect,

I have been for a while,

My troubles locked away,

In an always-growing pile.

 

Until one day,

I found a place,

Where people understand,

Where I'm not the only one,

Who lends a helping hand.

 

The place that helped me so,

And the people who understand,

Where all are welcome, an equal land.

You won't find on any map,

But all you have to do...

Is switch a computer on,

and type in " yc net"

 

The key

I have a key,

a key that you can't touch,

a key that you can't see,

The key fits a lock,

a lock inside my mind,

behind that lock, there is a room,

that you will never find.

in that room, there is a book,

and in the book i write,

things i'll never tell a soul,

if you know me well enough,

a peek might be allowed,

but the book is such a secret,

to keep it i am bound.

It contains my deepest worries,

my thoughts, my secrets too,

now i've told you about my book,

a book can help you too,

just make a room a lock and key,

and most importantly,

dont

forget

a

pen !

Mirror

In the mirror, I can see...

(The pain that my existence brings,
A girl whose heart no longer sings
The battles that my demons make,
A life I can no longer take,
Myself, locked in a cold dark place,
A stranger with my name, my face,
Life without meaning, a little girl; lost,
Carrying on, but at a cost)

...the girl I hoped I'd never be.

 

My Best Friend

My best friend always knows the truth,
Even when I try to fake it.
My best friend always gives advice,
Even though I sometimes fail to take it.

My best friend sees behind my smile,
Through to the tears I hide.
My best friend sees through the mask I wear,
To the broken girl inside.

My best friend takes the *** I give,
But never gives it back. 
My best friend is honest, loyal and true,
And doesn't mind all that I lack.

Right by the side of my best friend,
Is where I always want to be.
And I always know that my best friend,

Is always there for me. 

hiya these all are really good poems that everyone has posted i like them all. here are a couple that i have wrote.

 Hope
Hope is a bright shining light
Which keeps darkness away
Its that gentle cold breeze
On a hot summers day
It helps us remain positive
When things get tough
Hope is dreaming of tomorrow
And forgetting all the sorrow
Hope is the little sparkles
In the tears in our eyes
Hope is a beautiful thing
That never dies
Hope keeps us together
And hope lasts forever
Hope guides us through
It makes things come true
It keeps us happy and smiling
When all we're thinking of is crying
Staying with us forever
Even until we're dying
Hope is the best thing in life
It helps us live and survive.

My Guardian Angel
My angel's right beside me
Wherever I may go
Keeping close watch over me
As I'll always know
You will always be there
No matter when I call
You will be the one
Who helps me through it all
I know you will protect me
From harm along the way
When I'm far away from home
Or maybe hard at play
Your beautiful and shiny face
I see not, though your near
The sweetness of your lovely voice
I cannot really hear
You warn me of danger
And encourage me to do what's right
You always guard and guide me
Throughout the day and night
You're always watching over me
I can feel your presence near
You're always here to listen
And guide me through my fear
You're a very special angel
One chosen just for me
You were once here on earth
But that wasn't long to be
My angel walks beside me
I feel it every day
It helps me through lifes ups and downs
And whatever comes my way
Thins angel walks beside me
I feel blessed every day
That the presence of my angel
Will never go away

The Pain I Feel
Pain surrounds me day to day
Nothing helps it go away
Pain that comes and pain that goes
Pain like no one else knows
Its moving slowly through my brain
This horrible thing that's called pain
It makes me feel this way
And stops me sleeping, turning night to day
Pain I feel but cant touch
Pain that hurts me so much
Pain I go through, people can't see
But people can see, what it's doing to me
The tears that fall, won't go away
And are with me everyday
Everytime I see the light
I am pushed back by the blight
The pain that's inside of me
Hurts me loads you have to see
Why did you have to cause me pain?
My life now, just aint the same

these poems have been written recently since i started doing a lot with my mum as these helped me in calming down and realising how i feel about things

Thanks Laura

 

Cherish

 

I’d counted every day,

Every sunrise, every moon,

Ever since Mum told me,

“You’ll have a brother soon”.

 

I was only three years old,

But a brother sounded cool,

Maybe one day I’d show him off,

To all the kids at school.

 

I’d teach him lots and lots of things,

Like how to play games right,

And if he had a nightmare I would,

Hold him close all night.

 

He’d be my little brother,

For always and evermore,

I’d laugh with him when he was happy,

Hug him when he was sore.

 

I’d never shout or yell at him,

We’d always have some fun,

But the fun times were to be over,

Before they’d even begun.

 

You see, I never held my little brother,

Although I saw him quite a lot,

But it’s because he died that I know I have to,

Hold on to all I’ve got.

 

So listen to this poem,

Even though you and I might have never met,

Cherish everything in life,

Because it’s all you might ever get.

 

Who Am I?

 

To some people, I’m a classmate,

To some people, I’m a friend,

To some people, I’m an enemy,

To some people, I’m a trend.

 

To some people, I’m a student,

To some people, I’m a mate,

To some people, I’m a best friend,

To some people, I’m a date.

 

To some people, I’m annoying,

To some people, I’m just fab,

To some people, I’m exciting,

To some people, I’m just plain drab.

 

To some people, I’m an accquaintance,

To some people, I’m a peer,

To some people, I am over there,

To some, I’m over here.

 

But who am I deep down inside,

And in the future, who will I be?

Who am I to my own heart,

Who am I to me?

 

Glimmer

 

Every cloud has a silver lining,

But mine’s still full of rain.

Every day is a winding road,

My mind is going insane.

 

For every candle that blows out,

Another one gets a flame.

Every jumper that falls apart,

Someone can make one, just the same.

 

But if for everything in the distance,

There’s a long-enough telescope,

When my life is dark and cloudy,

Where’s my glimmer of hope?

 

 

 

And then this one's a bit happier :D it's called "Toast"

 

Toast

 

Toasting bread is really fun,

And really really nice,

But it’s only worth its while,

If the bread is in a slice.

 

Don’t buy your wholesome unsliced loaf,

That isn’t any fun!

Sliced bread is where it’s at,

Sliced bread is number one!

 

And anyone who doesn’t like it,

Needs an examination of their head,

Because nothing in the world could be,

The best thing since sliced bread!

 

Midnight

It's midnight in the country,
And every valley, lake and hill,
Is illuminated by the moon,
Calm and white and still. 

It's midnight in the city,
But most people are up and about,
The streets are full of cars,
And people, ready to shout. 

It's midnight in the towns,
People gathered in their local bar,
For the celebrations,
People come from near and far.

It's midnight in the villages,
The houses, spaced apart,
People having small parties,
Waiting for the countdown to start. 

People popping open bottles,
And shouting full of cheer.
It's midnight somewhere in the world,
At the start of a New Year.

You KNOW I think they're awesome, Shona ;-D Better than mine, anyway.
