Zanna’s Poetry
I write poems all of the time. It is a creative way to express my feelings. Below I am sharing some of my poetry with you. Many times I just get inspired to write, and what comes out just makes sense.
Slowly, I am collecting many poems and my mom says that we will soon organize them all into a book. I hope you enjoy them and my sharing, and be sure to share with young girls you know and leave your comments!
I write a lot when everything is quiet and I have time to myself.
Many of what I write is when I am sad and I wanted to share it on the blog for any other girls who go through these feelings. My mom says that so many people today expect to be happy all of the time and that is not a real view of how life really is. Like breathing goes in and out, our feelings go up and down. It’s natural. The trick is to do something creative when you are in your down time and use it to remind you later, to be grateful for all of the good moments.
P.S i write a lot of poems when I’m sad, quiet or just having time to reflect on things – it’s therapy in the moment, and fuel for all of the good that is coming.
Best Friends
September 8, 2009
giggles and tears,
joys and fears.
when you need a friend
their always here.
late night movies,
games of truth or dare.
painting nails and
doing each others hair.
having sleepovers where
we stay up all night.
when a friend is here
everything’s alright.
sharing secrets and
funny stories.
making scrapbooks
full of memories.
when you need a friend
they’re always there
kind and loving to
show that they care.

WHEN I CRY…..
August 15, 2009
when i cry please
don’t hold me
just let me disappear.
please don’t ask me to
stop my crying
just let me shed my tears.
don’t ask me why I’m crying
just accept the tears i cry.
and believe me when i say
I’m okay although you know
its a lie.
all i ask is that you accept my tears
and let me cry.

ANOTHER….
August 13, 2009
another promise made,
a promise to be broken.
another word unsaid,
another word unspoken.
another second past
without you here with me.
another tear i cry,
a tear no one can see.
another dirty secret
dared to be revealed.
another broken heart
begging to be healed.
another lie told to cover
the truth within.
another fight to lose,
a fight i cannot win.
another sorry said,
just a second too late.
another gasping breath
before i meet my fate.
another tear i shed,
another tear i cry.
another goodbye said
before i slowly die.
a priceless life
that had no cost.
another life lived
another life lost.

GIVE MY BEST
August 9, 2009
i can’t learn the truth
without telling a lie.
i can’t learn to quit
without learning to try.
i can’t learn to regret
without making a mistake.
i cant learn whats real
without learning whats fake.
i can’t learn to remember
without learning to forget.
i can’t learn anything
unless i give my best.

WRITTEN WORDS
July 7, 2009
a pen and a paper
is all i seek
to write the words
i cannot speak
i can’t speak
the words ’cause
they are stuck in
my throat
so instead of
talking, i’ll write
you a note
the note will list
the things i feel
the things that
words cannot reveal
i am so scared
to say them
to your face
if i write them
down i can
always erase
i’m glad i wrote
and didn’t say
the words that
tried to slip away
i can talk
but i think
it is better
not to speak
but to write
you a letter
when i write
my words are
freed
written words are
easy to read

REAL BEAUTY
November 11, 2008
So, what is real beauty?
It’s not a secret ingredient in that long lasting lip gloss…
And you won’t find it hidden in the nail polish isle at the drug store…
It is the knowledge that you like yourself and that you are true to your own heart.
It is having eyes that sparkle with compassion and which see the best in people.
It is having lips that speak strongly when you are pushed around and gently when someone else has been.
The most beautiful trait is confidence!
Figure out what you like BEST about yourself and let that SHINE!
That is when you become the most “BEAUTY-FULL” You!
