What Is Love? (Age: 13)

Love is filled with happiness
But in that, there's also hate.
It could be one thing or the other
Depending on your fate.

Love is a new beginning.
The blooming of a rose.
But the rose will die eventually,
That's just the way love goes.

Love is like a roller coaster
With both it's ups and downs.
You'll understand the feeling
Without hearing a sound.

And in a way it's like a ghost,
Haunting you every single day.
It could disappear when it's most needed
Or appear in a magical way.

Some consider love serious.
Some just think it's fun.
Someday you'll understand love.
Someday you'll find the one.

Extra Player (Age: 13)

You never told me you loved me.
You never told me you cared.
You never gave me anything.
You were simply never there.
You said a family gives love and warmth
And helps each other through bad times.
But you didn't do that for me.
You didn't help me through mine.
I was always all alone.
At least that's what it seemed.
I felt as if I was an extra player,
Looking in on a perfect team.
