The Someone Poem by Isabella Francis

The Someone

Rating: 4.1


Rushing through my cheeks like a waterfall,
Beware of the night when tears fall.

Beware, for they won't let me sleep,
All through the night I'll have to weep.

Cry silently, try to wake no one up,
Who cares? because I'm the only one up,

To fight for all and lose for none,
In tormenting me life has great fun.

In an attempt to make others' life glitter,
I dive for pearls and for life splutter.

But behind the scenes there is someone who is waiting for a cue,
And she, is sure to come to my rescue.

Even when I'm utterly scared,
She comes to make sure that I am spared.

Even if she is sad her cheerful chatter knows no end,
Yes, she was, is and will be my bestest friend.

To fight for all and lose for none, In tormenting me life has great fun. A very lovely poem Isabella. I like the rhyming and the message you impart. Sadly you lose the metered flow in the last three stanzas, which is a shame (too many syllables) . You are a very talented young lady. Congratulations on being chosen for poem of the day.

how lovely Isabella writes, her mind of a philosophic...... In an attempt to make others' life glitter, I dive for pearls and for life splutter. But behind the scenes there is someone who is waiting for a cue, And she, is sure to come to my rescue.
