Sydne Morris

Take the flower and put it in your hair
show the world your startling beauty
the beauty I once loved
unfortunaley we were forbidden lovers
...

War smells like…..
Wet paint on a new car
Rotting flesh on mended bones
Dripping cold blood
...

If I Were In Charge of the World

If I were in charge of the world I’d cancel
Rap, R&B, and hip hop music,
...

I have faced humilation
walked in crowds
people laughing and pointing
at me
...

Wack!
Something wet is on my back
I peel it off
realizing it is a pickle
...

1am poetic and complicated
I wonder when life will turn my way
I hear the words of lost people
I see the fake smiles on my peers
...

'Yes Mom! '
'No Mom! '
'ok I'll do that.'
...

The halls are crowded with people yelling
Teachers falling over their bags fulled with useless infomation
you would think that it is better than home
but you would rather sit in your domain
...

My friend Kessa’ and I
Always loved writing
Poetry was our favorite
Everyday on the old yellow school bus
...

Love is a Battlefield


Boom! Slam! Whoosh!
...

I never do what you say
but in the end
the scars are my pay
I thought you were my friend
...

Time you get
Your head out of dreamland
...

I am a summer girl
flip flops
tank tops
and short shorts
...

You would think we are just friends
but your hands keep touching mine
when will this confusion stop
while we still smile those fake expressions
...

I cry in my sleep
because I feel so alone
having cerebral palsy is my curse
I mean I have friends who support me
...

He was human
trying to love
a girl who
didn't deserve
...

I miss your laugh ‘
I miss your corny jokes
I miss your baggy clothes
And your hugs full of old spice
...

In the old hallways
you and I use to walk together
holding hands and listen to music
ignoring the gawking stares
...

There is a place
where trees grow freely
by this small narrow path
of a never-dead river
...

My 9th grade year
is rushing past me
leaving me dizzy and confused
but I don't give a damn
...
