Ok I thought it would be cool if we had a thread with our favorite poems so here are some of mine
HAVE YOU EVER
Have you ever lived my life
spent one minute in my shoes
if you havent then tell me why
you judge me as you do
have you ever woken up in the morning
wondering if this was your last day on earth
have you ever left your house
un sure id you'd return
have you ever seen your friend get shot
outside his favorite store
have you ever seen a friend die
from drugs he'd never used before
have you ever seen your mom get beat up
by your stepdad messed up on booze
have you ever had an unwanted pregnancy
forcing you to choose
have you ever sat beneath the stars
hoping god will hear
have you ever seen your friend drive away
after way too many beers
have you ever had a friend
experiment with weed
have you ever tried to hide yourself
behind the things you say
have you ever wanted to protect
your friends and everyone in sight
have you ever felt suh pain
that you cried yourself to sleep at night
have you ever lived my life
spent one minute in my shoes
if you havent then tell me why
you judge me as you do
by Tiffany Blevins

ANOTHER STATISTIC
i dont want to be another statistic
some suicidal teen
who makes a choice to kill herself
when the world just seems to mean
she cant go on with life
or so to her it seems
reality has fallen short
and so have her dreams
i dont want to be another statistic
some pregnant little girl
who met this great guy
and then gave sex a whirl
she was only fifteen
but it felt so right
she thought they'd be together
for more then just one night
i dont want to be another statistic
some kid strung out on crack
who started at a party
and now he cant turn back
first cigarettes and alcohol
now meth crak and cocain
hes been smoking it so long
that now hes gone insane
i dont want to another statistic
some girl left in the rain
who was walking home from school
then raped and left in pain
she cant tell her parents
and it hurts to tell her friends
she doesnt know what she'll do
to make this nightmare end
i dont want to be another statistic
some kid ou of school
who dropped out really early
and was acting like a fool
he thought that it was boring
he thought that it was dumb
he doesnt have an education
but lives on the streets like a bum
i dont want to be another statistic
some steretypical teen
im gonna make a difference
ill finish with my dream
i wont end up pregnant
on drugs or even dead
i wont drop out of school
because ill use my head
i dont want to be another statistic
to fit into some mold
of what society thinks of kids today
because its getting kinda old
not all of us are bad
in fact most of us are good
when will the world see us
and give us the credit they should

TEENAGERS
they wear clothes too tight
they wear their clothes too big
they have funky hair styles
i think they need a wig
they're allowed to stay out
they're aloud to make out
they're aloud to wear clothes
that let it all hang out
they're aloud to have boyfriends
they're aloud to have girlfriends
they cant mind their business
they're way far into trends
they're snotty and conceited
they think they're all that
they make me want to puke
next year...
will i be like that

  those are really great poems, sad  topics but I'm sure many other teens can relate.  I'm not a teen myself but I am a poetry writer as well and I don't think I could write something on those topics with such clarity and depth, most of mine are love poems and a few about grandparents. I've shared some before and will again; I've just recently started coming back to this board.

PRACTICAL APPLICATION
hes teaching her arthmetic
he said it was his mission
he kissed her once and kissed her twice and said
now that addition
and as he added smack by smack
in silent satisfaction
she sweetly gave the kisses back and said
now thats subtraction
then he kissed her she kissed him
with out explanation
and both together smiled and said
that multiplication
then dad appearded on the scene and
made a quick decision
he kicked that kid three blocks away
and said thats long divison

THE FRIEND THAT YOU'VE OUT GROWN
Heres to the friend that you've outgrown
the one whose name is left unknown
the one who wiped away your tears
and sough to hold your hand
when others turned the other way
no beginning just an end
She's the one you turned to
the one that you called friend
She laughed with, she cried with you
and felt it was her duty
to remind you of your worth
and all your inner beauty
when others eyes could only dwell
upon your exposed shell
they saw a fat girl steeped in braces
not seeing you they turned their faces
but she was there to whisper
when others didn't care
She held your secrets in her heart
that friends like you could chare
you never had to be alone
but now she is cause youve out grown
her for those others whose laughs you share
As you run carefree through the air
time has eased your form and face
but she's the one who knew your grace
when those who you now call your friends
saw no beginning... just an end

SOME TIMES WE DREAM
Some times I dream of Lesley
Sitting painfully
Corruption concealed behind eyes of happiness and silk
Her plastic smile hides the affliction of the heart
Deep inside there is a vengeance that
Seeps into her vains
She cries out but no one hears
Some one will interrupt a nightmare
Some one will help lesley stand against Vanity
Some times I dream of Marcia
Her vibrant eyes hidden beneath a dark dark hood
Her soul is in cigarette buds and old needles
Thrown away
some times she literally sells herself short
when her fingers reach she graps at only broken edges
she cries out but no one hears
some one with interrupt a nightmare
some one will help Marcia fight addiction
some times I dream of Jonathan
his eyes run with out destanation
away from his culture away from himself
a glass shell forms around his heart filling it with shame
as scissors ship his long dark hair
shards of soul fall at his feet
colorless pieces
he cries out but no one hears him
someone will interrupt a nightmare
some one with help Jonathan kill prejudice
Some times I dream of Caitlyn
her eyes are fatigued from the fight
its hard to be liked she says
when you have those things others want
her riches have the power to
destruct, deceive, demolish
the power to make others covet rather then celebrate
she crys out but no one hears
some one will interrupt a nightmare
some one will help Caitlyn combat envy
Some times I dream of Juan
with eyes black beaten and bruised
no one notices when that single solitary tears trickles down his cheek
he sits in the darkest shawdow of the darkest corner
dreading the afternoon bell
he blames himself thought
its hardly his fault
soem one will interrupt a nightmare
someone will help juan brave domestic violence
Sometimes i dream of Kimberly
her eyes down cast
she tries to make friends
but to hope any more is to be let down
she walks through the halls
trying to pass by unnoticed
she cannot help her clothes her weight her trembling chin
she runs from the comments
that shatter herdreams and build a wall around her heart
she cries out but no one hears
some one will interrupt a nightmare
someone will help kimberly battle bullying
as social issues start to shout
have no fear at standing out
there is a difference to be made
In harmony nightmares will surelyfade
I can interrupt a nightmare
i can help society conquer all
Maybe the some one is me
