I've written a few poems over this summer and below are two of the ones I liked more: 

Good girl 
Good girl
 Where art thou? 
Impeded existence 
Sprouts into shouts. 
Defiance is executed 
 As thy blood is shocked
 Losing the illusion 
Of their baby girl. 

 Fifteen years in 
And thy brain is now whirring 
Decisions are influenced
 By a new found learning.
 No longer the ‘good girl’ 
Thy image hath been tarnished. 
 Thy crimes cannot be 
Examined and varnished. 

 But this is what thou wanted, nay? 
To break free through sin. 
Expectations hath faltered 
Disbelief from thy kin. 

 Good girl 
Thou art gone 
Banished from this place 
Thou hath failed to stay strong 
And art losing face. 

 She who was thou
 Hath taken away 
 The perfection thine kin 
 Believe thou maintain. 
In losing her charm 
 And her girlish grace 
 Thou hath grown 
And may now
 Seize the day.




I call myself to attention
Stand up stout and straight.
Assuming control of this inferno,
I promote myself to Colonel.
Wary of my choices
Heeding words of caution
I realize that to prosper
Power must be tangible.

Separated from the actions
Of those in command.
Free to create my own army
Free to take a stand.
I’ve been given a role of authority,
Instrumental in my fate.
No longer physically tied
To the barracks
In which I was reared.
Through with complacency,
I’ll no longer shed such tears.

Fighting, fighting, fighting.
I bear these battle scars,
Assuring my existence.
Cleansing me of the tar,
That tarnished my mediocre life
And impeded any movement.
The road has now been paved,
They’re calling this my ‘moment’.

The war is over.
The battle’s been won.
I’ve not been defeated,
It’s time to become someone.
