Belated Love - DEDICATED TO MY GRANDPA & GRANDMA LA (Age: 15)

I never cared about you before.
But ever since you left me
I've been missing you.
My heart aches for the times we've had.
Both the good times and the bad.

I've always taken you for granted.
I thought you'd always be here.
But I turned my back and now you're gone,
Leaving me crying for you.

Sometimes I forget
And feel like running to you.
To tell you things
To make you proud.
But then I remember,
You're not here anymore.

Memories are all I have left
And I treasure them in my heart.
So when I'm feeling lonely or scared
I'd think of you
Looking at me from up above
And I'd smile.
I hope you can hear me.
Because there's something I forgot to tell you
... ... I love you... ...

Mysterious Anger (Age: 15)

There's an anger inside of me
Threatening to explode.
I feel bloated.
Always trying to keep it down.
Trying to keep it from erupting,
Blowing up at the wrong times.
It's like it has a life of it's own.
It won't let me control it.
I feel like it's controlling me.
It captured my soul.
Forcing me to obey it
To let it do what it wants to do.
The anger is overwhelming
But I don't know where it's coming from.
This mysterious anger,
It's taking over my life.
