To my dear friend Christina. I should have done this along time ago. you are a very magical and beautiful person. Thank you for sharing your time with me, making me a better person and for allowing the world to see a small piece of the strength you have inside. We are better people because of souls such as yours. Someday far too soon, when we put an end to our story. . because of your friendship, I will still feel the same that day as I do today, blessed.

This is a beautiful poem. There are so many tribulations encountered when growing up. Be strong and be yourself and you'll be okay.

When I clicked on the teen poetry i just thought that it was going to be all these cute rhyming poems but after i read a couple of them, i connected really close to this one. Especially about the childhood dreams part, i so related to that. All of my life i've had my mind set straight on one career. Just a year, i totally abandoned that idea and went in the opposite direction. So, i thought this poem was very well written

sinay

Chris

It's a good, strong poem with a meaning that rings all too true along with being easy to relate to.
