Michelle Cook Poems

the eyes
these eyes of mine
on the outside
looking in
...

no one to hug
no one to hold
no one that i
can call my own
...

i smile
to hide the pain
i work hard
to hide the shame
...

take a step back
take a deep breath
look at the world
through the eyes of me
...

life really is
beautiful
depends on how
you view it though
...

i must admit
my heart he hit
with his smooth moves
and charming coos
...

we had to write a poem from the point of view of Fredrick Douglass:

i have the potential
to be intelligent
...

when you look at me
what do you see
do you just take a quick glance
and assume everything's fine, i'm alright
...

people see
a girl's smile
they assume
we're happy, we're fine
...

my love is pure
my love is true
with my heart
i see through you
...
