Heey. My name.. obviously.. is Lana. I love poetry and writing lyrics for some bands of friends, or just to keep for myself and sing (: Poetry is a way i express myself, opinions, emotions, and most are about real life situations. Some you might recognize from nursery rhymes or whatever, but the lyrics are very different.
You might see my poems somewhere else on TeenPhrase; but thats because i was new to this site and i didnt know how to start a thread. >.< I tried to edit most before I post.
I'm not a proffesional or anything.. and im only 14 but i want to improve my writing in general and see what others think. Please give comments, suggestions, and/or advice, they are totally welcome.
These are from months ago and the ones almost done are a lot more advance. They're sad but.. mehh.
This is long but thanks for taking your time in reading this and enjoy.


Love Is…

The sun that awakes you, early every morning
Even on a cloudy, rainy day

When you are cold and in need of someone to hold onto,
it is a cup of hot chocolate
warming you, comforting you with its sweetness

The dove that comes to you out of nowhere
that can fly away at any moment
But stays when it should

A 1000 piece puzzle, messing with you
Making you constantly decide, if the pieces fit
And if they do not, it will not create a beautiful picture

The glowing diamond; so precious
That it might just last forever

When you are out of nightmares
But its still hard to sleep at night
Because reality is better than any dream

The fuzzy protection, wrapping you with safety
something you cannot let go of
Without it, it leaves you shivering

The burning red flame of a candle;
Melting it away
Until you are left with only uselessness

The Perennial you can’t get rid of
blooming, over and over.
Just when you think its dead
before you know it, it shows up again.

The gentle touches that gives you tingly feelings
forcing a smile to appear
showing your true happiness inside

The sharp needle
sewing your broken heart back together
repairing memories that happened in the past

Looking up at bright skies,
leaving behind the trails of pictured clouds

My Father
I saw my father drinking
Drinking at some club
But he had come back
And told me he needs love

Then I refused and walked away
But he grabbed me at my waist
It’s definitely not the first
Begins with a scene I just hate

His force leads me to a bed
Which left me scared and bare
Mommy never believes me
This life became so unfair

Nobody understands
What I go through everyday
Being raped is not a joke
But to father it’s okay.

Oh Dear, Mother
Oh dear, mother
Now say goodbye
When you read this
Please do not cry
I had to runaway
Daddy wouldn’t stop
He’s drinking and sniffing
Couldn’t tell cops

Oh dear, mother
Enough was enough
Daddy’s raping
Life is now tough
Sadness fills my eyes
Dad made them that way
You wouldn’t believe
What he did each day

Oh dear, mother
He’s non-stop high
Don’t bother, mother
Daddy will lie
This letter is yours
Please take care
Oh dear, mother
Find me somewhere


She Has Cancer ( Dialogue )

I’ll have my surgery
In a couple of hours,
Ok, best of luck
and here are flowers

Are you going to be okay?
Not sure, they said I have to stay
For a while until my cancer my healed
I wish I could change the pain the feel

I always cant wait for you to dial
You make everyday worthwhile
For you, I don’t need the stars above
All we need is our true love

Tears roll down again
My eyes are blurred
I miss what I heard
and your beautiful words

The world is empty without you
And when you’re not there
I’m in tears, and a day
Seems like millions of years

It’s hell without you
By my side
I want you to say
It’ll be alright

But she has cancer,
She has cancer

Don’t rise to heaven
Please don’t go
I love and miss you
Don’t you know?

You will always be
Right here in my heart
So if you leave
I’d only fall apart

I’m here far away, waiting
For your beautiful touch
For your perfect smile
Always truthful enough

Like this, I cant go on
Please don’t die, stay strong
Don’t lose grip, hold on

She Has Cancer
She Has Cancer

It’s hard breathing through each day
Knowing I cant see you at the end
I wish I could just hear your voice
Friendship is too great to pretend

I’d wait for you forever
Stay with me please
But I want to be
With you now endlessly

She Has Cancer
Cancer

The time has come
My best friend passed away
These thoughts are painful
Was this her only way?

Back to the constant cries
Why did she have to die

I’m trapped alone
By the quiet, dreadful darkness
Without the lullaby of her heart
Or the laughs of happiness

She Had Cancer
HAD Cancer


That Night (Recipe Poem)
To start, sneak out to a party late at night
Quickly add countless beers and problems to fight

Only do this when you're desperate to fit with the cool
Even if it takes, being suspended from high school

Melt away your carefulness, responsibilities and trust
Almost like thinking, this is worth risking, is a must.

Put in thoughts of how home is filled with drama
Then blend in a cup of the solution, marijuana

Now, notice how your heart rate will rise
After, pour in dizziness and red, bloodshot eyes

On top of that, add some sniffs of cocaine
The amount of lost controls and falls will gain

Next, set the temperature on extremely high
Until hopefully, you’ll notice you’re close to goodbye

Sprinkle on a hint of distorting perception
Mixed with a perilous, tempting addiction

Don’t forget the keys to the car
Try not to go too fast, too far

To Finish, hope you had fun
But you’re soon to be part of the past
Go on and increase the speed
Eyes Wide, Next thing.. CRASH.

Old Thoughts :/
You don’t see anything in me like I’m invisible
These days our mistakes are unforgivable

No one pays attention to me anymore
You’re right, I’m not worth living for

I’ve been waiting here for far too long
I’m losing hope thinking happiness will never come

I see the dark clouds coming up again
Life is still a nightmare I’m forced to attend

The rain is falling hard on my window now
Reminds me how this heart beats a hollow sound

I long for a happy life where mistakes are easy to forgive
Unlike now where I believe the fact there’s no reason to live

As I wake up, with lack of sleep every morning
I find the raindrops from my eyes continue pouring

Its like every sound that comes out of my mouth leads to a fight
I cant sleep anymore with the hours going by longer every night

if life was so smooth
I wouldn’t be here with a blade thinking
this is only what I can do
