Katelyn Jane. A name poem.

Katelyn means pure beautyJane means a woman

So together Katelyn Jane means a pure, beautiful woman.

Is this true?Will I ever fulfill my name?Or will I just wear it out.

Brokenness: I am poemI am broken yet complete with you.

I wonder, everyday, if we will ever be together.I hear you tell me that you love me, andI can see that you do.I want to be with you for the rest of forever.I am broken yet complete with you.I pretend to be happy by always smiling, yetI feel as if I'm slowly fading away.I wish that I can hold you in my arms forever so I can be whole once more.I worry that things will soon be no more.I cry myself to sleep at night thinking those thoughts.I am broken yet complete with you.I understand how you want the same things I do,,I say what's meant to be isn't soon to be.I dream of us, growing old together.I try everyday to be happy.I hope one day you can see me walk down the isle.I am Katelyn Jane Henning.

Memories. I am from poem.

I am from shot glasses in the cabinet, picture frames

overflowing the house, and the little key holder in the

front room. I am from dog bones buried in the backyard to be waited on

till later, empty patches of grass where the grass forgot

to grow, and trees with leaves that dance

effortlessly in the wind.I am from playing Uno and Banana Grams all day long with Mawmaw and Pawpaw

and swimming with Alex and Brandon.

I am from “You lie like a rug” and “You’ve made up that bed, now you have to lie in

it” and “Go clean your room.”

I am from Grandmas Sweet Potato Casserole and 4-layer Simplicity Dessert. I am from

Mawmaw’s Fried Okra and Aunt Wendy’s Banana

Pudding.I am from the endless diaries

filling my bookshelf, completely full notebooks hidden in my drawers, and the many, many pictures overflowing my house.

Just let me shine. Extended Metaphor Poem

I am a bright sunshine.You will never be able to completely extinguish my light.

I will come back each and every day.Whether you like it or not.

You may not realize it, but you need me.And you can’t live without me.

Falling for you. A

Song Title Poem.

I want you to know that I’d do anything for you,

Love is a lie; let’s not let that be true.Let’s be alone together,

We can be victims of love forever.Please don’t go too far away from me,

I need you to stay as close as you can be.I want to be with you for a thousand years,

I hope that’s how its going to be.I can only imagine our lives together.

I’ve got just a feeling,I feel stronger with you.

You bring me to life.I'm hanging by a moment here with you,.

To me, your arms feel like home.So if I fall for you, its going to be a good

thing.P.S. I Love You.

I’ve been ignoring this big lump in my throatI shouldn’t be crying, tears were for the

weakThe days I’m stronger, now what, so I say

But something’s missing

Whatever it is, it feels likeIt’s laughing at me through the glass of a

two sided mirror Whatever it is, it’s just laughing at me

And I just want to scream

What now? I just cant figure it outWhat now? I guess I’ll just wait it out (wait it

out)What now? Whoa, what now?

I found the one, he changed my lifeBut was it me that changed

And he just happened to come at the right time

I’m supposed to be in loveBut I’m numb again

Whatever it is, it feels likeIt’s laughing at me through the glass of a

two sided mirrorWhatever it is, it’s just sitting there

laughing at meAnd I just wanna scream

What now? I just cant figure it outWhat now? I guess I’ll just wait it out.

What now? Please tell meWhat now?

There’s no one to call cause I’m playing games with them all

The more I swear I’m happy, the more that I’m feeling alone

Cause I spent every hour just going through the motions

I can’t even get the emotions to come outDry as a bone, but I just wanna shout

What now? I just can’t figure it outWhat now? I guess I’ll just wait it out (wait it

out)What now? Somebody tell me

What now?

I don’t know where to goI don’t know what to feelI don’t know how to cryI don’t know oh oh why

I don’t know where to go I don’t know what to feelI don’t know how to cryI don’t know oh oh why

I don’t know where to goI don’t know what to feelI don’t know how to cryI don’t know oh oh why

So what now?

What Now? By Rihanna My Favorite Song with analysis.

This is one of my favorite songs because when I

first heard it on the radio, I was

basically going through the same

situation that she's describing in this

song and it just had that special

connection to me.

A Thousand Years. By Christina Perri. A Love Song with analysis.

Heart beats fastColors and promises

How to be brave?How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?

But watching you stand alone,All of my doubt suddenly goes away

somehow.One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for youDarling, don't be afraid I have loved you

For a thousand yearsI'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands stillBeauty in all she is

I will be braveI will not let anything take awayWhat's standing in front of me

Every breathEvery hour has come to this

One step closerI have died everyday waiting for you

Darling, don't be afraid I have loved youFor a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand moreAnd all along I believed I would find you

Time has brought your heart to meI have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand moreOne step closerOne step closer

I have died everyday waiting for youDarling don't be afraid I have loved you

For a thousand yearsI'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find youTime has brought your heart to me

I have loved you for a thousand yearsI'll love you for a thousand more

This is one of my favorite songs because I have that emotion

towards it as if I can put myself

into the song. As if it was written

for me. This song brought tears to my eyes when I

first heard it because its just that beautiful.

I love you. A free poem.

What I love about youIn which words can’t

describeYou just appeal to meWith that special vibe.

Oh, your eyes I can get lost in

So big, beautiful, and brownWhen I look at you

I cant help but not to frown.

I love the way that you love me

I love to know you're always there

You make me feel so specialBy showing that you care.

And when you say ‘I love you’

It sends chills down my spineBecause now I know

You will always be mine.

Rainfall. A free poem.

Let the rainWash awayAll the pain

Of yesterdayFor the rain

To wash awayAll of my pain

Its going to takeMore than a rain storm

Even if theEntire ocean

Rose to the heavensTo fall back to Earth

It still wouldn’t be enough

Me Without You. A free poem.

Me without you is likeA shoe without laces

A nerd without bracesAnd

asentencewithoutspaces.

Me without you is likeA flower trying to bloom

without rainA depressed one with

excessive painAnd a life without sustain.

Me without you is likeA teenager without a cell

phoneA ruler without a throne

And a dog without a bone.

Me without you is likeA person without a hand

A guitarist without a bandAnd a beach without the

sand.

Her Beauty. A haiku

She has long, blonde hairThat encloses her beautySimply setting free.

Beautiful brown eyesHave so much hidden behindJust dying inside.

There’s so much brokenShe is together with youWith words unspoken.

She is pretty smallShe’s perfectly worth it allPlease don’t let her fall

His Words. A pantoumBy words left unspoken

If you love her let her knowHearts are often broken

If not let her go.If you love her let her knowShe's sitting there falling

apartIf not let her go

With her love you chose to depart

She's sitting there falling apart

Inside and out

With her love you chose to depart

You were gone, without a doubt

Inside and out She was lying on the floorYou were gone without a

doubtWhen you ran out the doorShe was lying on the floorHearts are often broken

When you ran out the doorBy words left unspoken.

Bliss. A nature poem.

The leaves dance in the windOnly then to fall to their deathOn the stone hard ground, as if

they’ve sinnedWithout taking a last breath.

Trees grow high in the skyAs if they’re attempting to mock

skyscrapersThen once winter comes, they

say their final goodbyeTo the arrival of the bone

chilling vapor.

Flowers climb to get closer the sunBecoming big and beautiful

But become sad when they're the last one

Since this is no longer blissful

Water flows from place to placeMaking everything plentiful

Which is not a disgraceKnowing that’s its wonderful.

You’re Mine. A sonnet

Since the day we met my life has changed

You’ve made me happy with everything said

My love and emotions rearranged

My life and future I used to just dread.

I spend most of my time thinking of you

And the love and joy you have brought to me

Our love became so strong it became true

With you in my life I feel so complete

The day I first saw you it felt so right

I knew in my heart that you were my life

My heart skips a beat when you come in sight

I hope to become your future wife

I will love you always whatsoever

Now lets live life together forever.

I'm crazy.A found poem

I get along with the voices in my head

Even though you think I’m crazy

And that I just wanted to receive attention

But I'm actually weirder than you think

It was confusingI'm beginning to lose sleep

When someone told me

To seize the momentCause it could be over

tomorrowIts not wonder I’m losing my

mindThe very thing I loves killing

me and I cant conquer itMaybe I need a straight

jacketI am nuts, but I’m okay with

thatI need you to save me from

myself
