poem: “beautiful people”

Beautiful person, 
sitting on the other side of this screen. 
Beautiful person, 
reading my poem, hopefully it puts you at ease. 

Beautiful people, 
here, there, and everywhere. 
Beautiful people, 
all around me. 

Beautiful person, 
so strong, so brave, so cool. 
Beautiful person, 
so strong, so brave, so you

Beautiful people, 
we’re all unique. 
Beautiful people, 
all with a different speciality. 

Beautiful person, 
sometimes you feel down. 
Beautiful person, 
sometimes you want to drown. 

Beautiful people, 
it’s clear to see. 
Beautiful people, 
you’re a spectacular being! 

Beautiful person, 
please know that you are loved. 
Beautiful person, 
please know that you are adored. 

Beautiful people, 
don’t let the world get you down. 
Beautiful people, 
let me wipe away that frown! 

Beautiful person, 
I know that life is tough. 
Beautiful person, 
I know that it can be rough. 

Beautiful people, 
so smart, so kind, so perfect. 
Beautiful people, 
so smart, so kind, so you

Beautiful person, 
I love you so. 
Beautiful person, 
more than you know.

Beautiful people, 
don’t let them drag you down. 
Beautiful people, 
you’re a spectacular angel. 

Beautiful person, 
let it be known, 
that you are you, 
and that’s the perfect truth! 
Don’t let anyone change you!

poem: “snow day”

Snow day, 
a perfect time to play, 
the fun is underway. 

You and I, 
nobody can deny, 
my love for you is in endless supply. 

Watching the snow storm, 
cuddled together all nice and warm, 
as the realm outside begins to transform. 

Sipping at mugs of hot chocolate and tea, 
we’ll go on a baking spree, 
nobody will disagree with our jubilee. 

We can make an igloo, 
outside with the crew, 
let’s ignore my curfew. 

Listening to a merry tune, 
snuggling with you in a cozy cocoon, 
we can binge-watch our favorite cartoon. 

You’re oh so sweet, 
our love makes me feel complete, 
my heart skips a beat. 

Let it snow, 
your cheeks are aglow, 
and I’ll kiss you under the mistletoe. 

-Minah H. (yours truly) 
dedicated to the love of my life

poem: “summertime”

So-cal sunshine 
and sweet summer treats, 
what a delight, 
I’d love to stay here and greet 
the beautiful world around me, 
so nice and neat. 

Basking in the bright summer sun, 
a romance novel in one hand 
and a glass of pink lemonade in the other, 
suntanning the day away. 

Summertime fun, 
summertime sun. 

Chilling by the pool, 
with you by my side, 
giggling as the water splashes 
and the party never crashes. 

Enjoying the bright summer blooms, 
pink, yellow, green, and blue, 
all shapes and sizes, 
it’s never too soon. 

I want to spend it all with you, 
each second, each minute, each hour, each day, 
I’ll spend it all by your side. 

Summertime fun, 
summertime sun, 
all with you. 

-Minah H. (yours truly)

poem: “share the pain”

I’m floundering, 
I want to help you so, 
but I don’t know how 
or what to do, 
don’t even know what to say to you. 

I want to erase all the pain 
that burdens your mind 
and your heart, my dear. 

My goal in life is
to be there for others, 
to lift them up, 
to make them happy, 
to help them through their troubles. 

But I don’t know 
how to help you. 
But I don’t know, 
how to lift you up. 
But I don’t know, 
how to be there for you. 

Please tell me how 
I can support you, dear, 
it kills me so, 
to see you this low. 

I love you, dear, 
more than you know. 
I love you, dear, 
you’re my own private angel. 

But I need to know, 
how to help you so. 
But I need to know, 
how to uplift you so. 

Oh my dear, 
I’m sorry that you have to hear 
all the thoughts swarming in your head, 
as you lie alone in your bed. 

You can’t fool me, 
I know you’re hurting, 
You can’t fool me, 
I know you’re slowly burning. 

Please let me ease the pain. 
Please let me see your distress. 
Please let me share the pain. 
Please let me soften the burden. 

Let me in, my dear, 
allow me into your world. 
Let me in, my dear, 
allow me to wipe away the tears. 

I love you, oh my darling, 
I adore you, oh my love. 
I want to help you so, 
please let me in, please let me in. 

-Minah H. (yours truly) 
allow me share your burden 

poem: “snow falling down”

Snow falling down, 
melting into the ground, 
I admire from across the room, 
the wintery beauty outside the window. 

How could it not catch my eye? 
It’s snowing, 
snowing, snowing, 
it’s snowing! 

I wanna sprint around outside, 
the cold flurries splashing against my face, 
all bundled up in a warm winter coat. 

It’s supposed to get cold tonight, 
hopefully it’ll stick! 
It’s supposed to get cold tonight, 
hopefully school will be canceled! 

Snow falling down, 
melting into the ground, 
I really cannot believe, 
that the winter season is already here, 
what a wonderful surprise to all, including me! 

-Minah H. (yours truly) 
What a wonderful wintery joy to see! 

poem: “evolving autumn”

Autumn breeze. 
My surroundings start to freeze, 
you just wouldn’t believe
all the things I’ve seen. 

Autumn mist. 
I need to sift, 
through all of the risk, 
before I end up with a fist. 

Autumn hue. 
Anything else just won’t do, 
I want to start anew, 
but I owe too much to you. 

Autumn thanks. 
I want to move up the ranks, 
but some around can be fakes, 
and thus, my progress tanks. 

Autumn heat. 
But then you and I meet, 
and your smile is such a treat
that my sudden job becomes tough to beat. 

Autumn care. 
Can you blame me if I stare? 
Without company, life is quite bare. 
But with you in the picture, things are more than fair. 

Autumn fears. 
They all disappear, 
and I’m suddenly able to steer, 
and bid adieu to all my past tears. 

-Minah H. (yours truly)
I came up with this on a work shift, and I was trying so hard not to make this a love poem, but… It turned into a love poem. 

poem: “dear love of my life”

Dear love of my life, 
you are the light in my eyes 
the stars of my galaxy.

My love revolves around you
it is for you
and only you.

The love of my life
is the boy laying in my bed, 
looking at memes on his phone. 

The love of my life 
is the one who takes me out to dinner,
doesn’t mind when I sit beside him.

The love of my life 
is the individual whom my universe revolves around
even though when others say
it really, really shouldn’t.

Dear love of my life,
i’m so in love with you, 
from the scent of your cologne
to the cute voices you can make.

Dear love of my life, 
please never change
you are perfect in all ways 
and my love, you are 
my sun, 
my moon, 
my stars, 
my universe,
and more.

-Minah H. (yours truly)
yes, i am a cheesy, lovesick teenager & please don’t freak out, i’m mostly exaggerating as exaggeration is very, very fun

poem: “rushing through”

Rushing, 
writing, 
back and forth,
again and again. 

Rushing, 
reading,
up and down, 
around and around. 

There’s always something new
that I’m scurrying through. 
A new hobby here and there,
it can be quite a lot to bear. 

So much on my mind,
I keep attempting to find 
something bright and bold,
but I’m beginning to fold,
under the pressure and weight. 
Is this my fate? 

I’m rushing, 
writing, 
back and forth,
again and again. 

I’m rushing, 
reading, 
up and down, 
around and around. 

I want to experience a ton,
and yes, it’s quite fun. 
I’ll continue to do
and continue to bloom. 

-Minah H. (yours truly)
rushing and writing, through and through

poem: “mother, i’m in love”

Mother,
I’m in love. 

And I don’t know what to do,
don’t know what to say. 

But I know, 
I know,
I want to spend
the rest of my life, 
with my love. 

Mother,
I’m in love. 

I’m sorry for the past, 
I’m sorry for what cards I’ve been dealt. 

But I can see my fairytale ending, 
my happy ending. 

It’s so close!
It’s so near! 

Mother, 
I’m in love. 

I will not be a repeat of your marriage,
we will be better, 
that sure is a fact. 

I know I’m a little crazy, 
but I’m crazy for him

So please don’t try to stop me. 

I let the words flow out of me. 

I don’t know where all this inspiration comes from! 

Oh. 
Wait. 
No. 
Yes. 
Maybe?

Yes, I know. 

I’m inspired by him
I keep moving forward, 
all because of him,
and I know I’m in love. 

Mother, 
I’m in love. 

I’ve been in countless relationships. 
And yes, I use that as a joke. 
At parties, I’ll playfully laugh 
and count on both my hands and all my toes. 

But, Mother, 
I’m in love. 

Why can’t you see? 
He’s meant for me.
I’m meant for him

And I don’t know where this will lead me. 
But I don’t care. 
Let me be,
a crazy, lovesick teenager,
oh, it’s meant to be.

He could lead me anywhere, 
and I would follow. 

We’re two of a kind, 
we’re both too nice, 
too loyal, 
too generous, 
maybe a little too in love. 

But, Mother, 
I’m in love. 

And I will follow him to the ends of the earth. 

He is my sun, 
my moon, 
my stars, 
and my universe. 

Mother, 
I’m in love. 

And I’ll be leaving soon, 
for college, oh dear. 

But he’ll be by my side, 
he’s always lovingly by my side. 

I’m a little crazy, 
but all for him, 
yes, it’s true. 

Mother, 
I’m in love. 

I’m in love with him
and I’ll always hold him dear, 
in my heart, 
my mind, 
my body, 
and my soul. 

Mother, yes, 
I’m in love. 

-Minah H. (yours truly) 
dedicated to my love, you know who you are

poem: “i am sorry”

I’m sorry
for doing you wrong. 

I’m sorry 
for all that went sour. 

I’m sorry
for putting you out of your comfort zone. 

I’m sorry
for all that I did. 

I’m sorry
for being a bitch. 

I’m sorry
for always doing wrong. 

What did I do wrong? 
I always ask, 
I always wonder, 
but I never know. 

I’m sorry 
for all this shit. 

I’m sorry 
for trying to be,
more than I thought I could be. 

I’m sorry that I never know. 
I’m sorry that I’m a mess. 
I’m sorry that I couldn’t be my best. 

I’m sorry 
for inviting you. 

I thought that we could have some fun. 
But that’s not how it worked out. 

I’m ranting now. 
I’m freaking out now.
I’m crying now.

And once again, 
here I am, 
left to doubt myself, 
once again. 

-Minah H. (yours truly) 
i’m sorry for who I am

poem: “summer and me”

Summer breeze, 
I start to freeze, 
I only displease,
resulting in this summer tease.

Summer cloud, 
it starts to get loud, 
I can’t stand the crowd, 
my parents, oh they’re not proud. 

Summer view, 
I wish I knew, 
I’m not brand new, 
it’s all untrue. 

Summer sun, 
after all I’ve done, 
it’s only just begun, 
and it certainly hasn’t been fun. 

-Minah H. (yours truly)
i don’t like the summertime

poem: “ink pen stains”

Ink pen stains,
smudging the page. 

Ink pen stains,
staining the page. 

Ink pen stains,
I’ve lost the meaning. 

Ink pen stains, 
I start to worry. 

Ink pen stains, 
it’s getting blurry. 

Ink pen stains, 
it’s quite the flurry. 

Ink pen stains, 
I put down my pen,
while I worry, 
again and again. 

-Minah H. (yours truly) 
ink pen stains are a blemish on a sheet of purity. 

poem: “spoiled gals”

They’re over the top,
they never stop.

Gossiping left and right,
they don’t seem too bright.

Complaining about their life,
bringing up new strife.

Their every want is gifted,
their every need is lifted.

Attempting to block them out,
but they continue to shout,
how they deserve more and more,
to be honest, it’s getting quite sore.

High school is hell,
yet they’re catered to with a ring of a bell.

They claim that their life is tough,
but in reality, there are ones more rough.

I wish that they would hush,
and stop with their neverending rush.

They’ll never listen to my insight,
carelessly doing what they think is right.

My eyes roll,
they leave such a toll,
on my mind and sanity,
these girls overflowing with vanity.

Life is not easy-peasy,
they’re gonna grow up to be sleazy.

I’m tired of this shit,
they don’t listen one bit.

Karma is a bitch,
and she sure won’t miss,
these basic white bitches,
will one day hope that she misses.

-Minah H. (yours truly)
admittedly inspired by my little sister (I love you, Ava).

poem: “caged rage”

I can’t identify, 
only one reason why 
I am forced to turn a blind eye. 

I’m confined to my chain, 
I start to strain, 
my anger swirls like a hurricane. 

I can’t get free, 
she’s stinging like a bee, 
I’m withering away into a nobody. 

She wants to control, 
I’m as helpless as a tadpole, 
wanting to hide away in a hole. 

Despite all my rage, 
I am still just a rat in a cage. 
I want to disengage, 
but she keeps going on a rampage. 

Not a child anymore, 
but definitely not an adult, 
it’s getting quite sore. 

I’m sick of all this shit, 
she’s such a bitch. 
I can’t wait to escape, 
while she watches with a gape. 

-Minah H. 
despite all my rage, I’m still just a rat in a cage (inspired by “Bullet with Butterfly Wings” by The Smashing Pumpkins)

poem: “to be creative”

To be creative 
can mean 
so many things. 

To be creative 
means to create a world 
that you call your own. 

To be creative 
means to paint a scene 
with just your words. 

To be creative 
means to let your imagination 
roam free. 

To be creative 
means to share a story 
in a gentle way. 

To be creative 
means to open one’s eyes 
to the beauty around them. 

To be creative 
means to see the world 
in a different light. 

To be creative 
means everything to me, 
it is my solace, my saving light. 

-Minah H. (yours truly)
what does it mean to be creative?

poem: “my angel”

You’re an angel.
My angel. 
Sent from above. 

I haven’t felt blessed in years. 
I felt lost,
I felt lonely. 
Everything slipping away. 

You found me, 
you saved me.
From the darkness of myself. 

I love you, 
I love you. 
Oh, oh, 
I love you. 

You’re an angel, 
my angel, 
sent from above. 

-Minah H. (yours truly)
i love you more than you know

poem: “dragged out of bed”

I was dragged out of bed,
at 3 AM, 
with an anger that 
no unsuspecting teenager
should ever face
from their lover’s guardian. 

I was dragged out of bed,
at 3 AM, 
yanked from my slumber,
and dragged by my arm,
up to see him 
staring down at me. 

I was dragged out of bed, 
at 3 AM, 
with a deep fear,
boiling in my belly, 
and sent home 
in haste, 
and in fear, 
I obeyed. 

I was dragged out of bed, 
at 3 AM, 
and with a now deeply set fear, 
I drove home alone, 
in the dark, 
barely awake, 
away from my love, 
away from the one I hold dear. 

-Minah H. (yours truly)
it wasn’t a happy night

poem: “scent of home”

Scent of home, 
warm and cozy, 
keeps me safe, 
from those around me. 

Scent of home, 
bundled up in your jacket, 
I feel love for you,
more than you know. 

Scent of home,
the smell of your cologne,
brings me comfort,
in the cold. 

Scent of home, 
I love you so,
more than you know, 
please don’t leave me,
my scent of home.
