Poems from hstewart2002
I am a teenage girl who lives in a small town in Louisiana, the place where I was born and raised at. I love reading and writing poems and stories. My oldest and youngest brothers have autism. I like saying y'all instead of you guys and my favorite food is crawfish. I have never been farther up south than Tennessee. I have three siblings, two older brother and a little brother, making me kinda in the middle and the only girl, which kinda sucks. I want to be either a college professor, a writer, or a teacher when I get older. I have severe OCD to the point where when I write down something I will erase the letters/words that don't look perfect to me and rewrite them again.
Boy, I seen the way that you stare at me
With that big dopey smile and those awestruck eyes
You try to get my attention many ways
Boy, you...
My friends try to set me up many boys
And when they do I feel torn inside
Wishing desperatly that they knew the truth
I don't like boys,...
Walls around my heart,
Chains around my body
Keeping me stiff and without emotion
Keeping me from letting anyone in
These walls I built...
Southern thunderstorms, raw oysters, and sweet ice tea
Not many would understand the hold that Louisiana has on me
It was where I grew up...
I often wondered why my parents never realized
That I felt pain everytime they argued and fought
The resentment I felt when I had to...
