<ul class="anf_list">Notes: Hiya. I'm in 9th grade and I made this poem for my portfolio. My friends told me it's good so I decided to post it. Tell me what you think..


Tears roll down my cheeks when I’m alone
As I cry in my bed, facing the world all on my own
I dream of a place of sanity
Where all my pains will be put to an end
Not in a dark and sullen place like this
So I would no longer need to pretend
I hide my emotions under fake ones
As my heart suffers deep inside
The reason of my existence is still unknown
But I hope someday this hell will be overthrown
Sometimes I fear that I would never recover
That I would never wake up from this nightmare
I dream of being a bird so I could fly
But it never happens even when I try
I struggle for love and happiness
Still, all I get are despair and loneliness
I hope someday these eyes of mine will dry
So that finally, for once, I wouldn’t cry</ul>

I love it. I hope you're more positive than this normally, though . It's certainly good enough for your portfolio.

Cheers,

 - Joy.
