Miranda Perez
My name is Miranda Perez Trejo, I am a senior at SJVA and this school year and I found a love for poetry. Writing poetry gave me an outlet to express my feelings and past experiences without saying much. Everyone who comes across your work will interpret it differently or have a different takeaway, that’s the beauty of it. Poetry quickly became something I gravitate towards, I felt I could freely express myself without feeling judged.
Without You
Your absence taught me how to eat without you
How to breathe without you
How to live without you
Time taught me peace
How to love me without you
I Loved You
I love you, more than I ever loved me
I lost myself trying to find you
Trying to save us
Now we're both gone
I lost myself, I don't know who I am
But I know who I want to be
Good Morning
It happened, he was gone
It happened, he's not here anymore
The feeling of opening your eyes
And remembering you're gone
I never thought the darkness would be my peace
For a split second, I was okay
Then the sun came out
Good morning
Hobby
You refuse to meet my parents
No dates when the sun was out
You weren't ready
You left without saying goodby
But you were ready for her?
I was something for you to do
I was your hobby
I kept you entertained while you waited for her
I was only ever your hobb
First Sight
I saw you standing there
My eyes were drawn to you
The moment I saw you I knew
You had to be mine
I saw you standing there
My eyes were drawn to you
The moment I saw you I knew
You had to be mine
Falling in Love
You are my favorite first
My favorite love at first sight
First person to make me feel loved
First to take me on a date
First to make me fall in love
First to break my heart
After
I knew you before
I never thought there would be an After
An after you, ill miss you forever
First Place
He let the silence win
Once it wins, it's over
Sun
His colors are stunning
Pink, Blue, Orange, and Yellow
The beautiful blend
He has always been beautiful
Let Go
What once caused you to love, causes you tears
Hurt lasts a lifetime
Once it starts being painful
Let it go
Alone
Even though he was there
He was never truly there
There was always an emptiness in her heart
I'm Sorry
You were always hurting me
For some reason
I was always apologizing
You cheated but I'm sorry
I'm sorry for not giving you attention
Away
Forever
Funny isn't it
High School
It comes to an end
Noises
Words
Everything comes to an end
Oblivious
How did I get here
In a blink, it's all gone
It cant be
I'm not done
Pretty
The moment the cloth touches my face
To the second it's off
Everything is different
Why can't I see myself in the mirror
And think
I look pretty
College
I took my Senior graduation pictures
I'm going to college
I got my second car
I got a new job
I'm looking at apartments
I'm finally growing up
And you?
You will never grow up
You will always be thirteen
Close
I will never let anyone get close enough
What if they leave
Just like you did
It's safer to keep them away
I miss you every day
