New Poems for my Classmates

 

Maria

 

Making friends isn’t easy for everyone as anxiety always has a firm, invisible grip, but luckily you are a

Light in the darkness that hangs over the uncertainly of life and in time I found it easier to repay your

Kindness by not regretting my smiles during times when we got to know more about each other with

Jokes and stories about how we ended up where we are in life and where we may hope to one day go.

Imagine looking at life from afar because you’re too afraid of rejection and that there really isn’t much

Hope that someone will find you to reveal that the world isn’t as terrifying of a place and everyone is

Granted a few good friends to create a new path to find and finding new interests with different people

Foster forgotten passions that can be augmented by those who have provided a reason to get up and

Enjoy each day with everything that comes your way and be the who anyone who needs some cheer.

Discovering one’s courage is never easy as there will be too many difficult battles, but with you and a

Classroom that has all kinds of odd guests, things look brighter after the day done and it doesn’t hurt

Basking in the satisfaction that we both improved someone’s day with whatever we learned and gave

Assessments on how to reach those special spots on our client’s body so that they feel like they have

Zero discomforts, if only for a little while, and their smiles prove that we’re on a very promising path.

Youth is precious and we all must do what we can to hold onto what makes us happy and cherish any

Exceptional moments that are still to come so that the warmth of the past will still keep us powerful

Whenever there aren’t many thrills in the present and make us cold to new experiences and not be so

Vexed if someone else has a moment of glory because you never know how long its been since their

Uneasy world has received some glimmer of hope and if they have the power to keep such joy going.

True friends are a rare joy in this world, but I can tell the bond we have will last a long time and with

Struggles still to be overcome, everything will be a little more tolerable as I have found another human

Reservoir full of positive energy that can dispel the darkness we cannot see and keep on with our odd

Quest of self-discovery and hope that we continue to growing with those who have bettered our days.

Please keep a smile for me for whenever I feel sad and I’ll do the same for you in case the powers of

Oppression turns their attention to you as proof that no one is perfect and everyone can have one day

Not as savory, but friends will always be there to spread the joy and misery for all kinds of occasions.

Language is a peculiar subject because there is a need to communicate with others in some way, but

Making small talk can be incredibly difficult as too many words in the dictionary are too flashy and

Never find the lips of commonfolk, so it takes time to get simple phrases out, but people like me are

Open to meeting new people and learning about who they are to see that we have things in common.

Pursuing dreams isn’t the same as when you’re asleep because there are many weird things to learn to

Quell a nervous mind and put such skills into practice to carve out a place in this world so others will

Receive the gift of an amazing person who can do far more with actions and give words a needed rest.

Savor those who have made an impact in your life and some of the stress of strangers will fade into a

Tiny corner of your mind and in time you’ll find your voice to share things with friends about all the

Unknown wonders of life that everyone is meant to find, guided by confidence so that you’ll achieve

Victory with every sentence not affected by nerves and can slowly grow into other wonderful things.

When I felt that I didn’t belong years ago, people encouraged me to write so that I had something to

Explain who I was and get over the concerns of being in a large crowd where anyone can get lost and

Yelling doesn’t help because unless you have something prepared to say to everyone, there are almost

Zero chances that you’ll be able to proudly say I’m here and want to enjoy life like a real person who

Accepts there are limits to what anybody can do, but taking that first step has already been achieved.

Believing in others can be hard at times, however if things are taken one at time and we don’t lose the

Compassion for making friends we can enjoy little moments of life without much of the fear of total

Disapproval before we have a chance to strut our stuff for anyone wanting to make a new friend and

Explore whatever waits for us as the days progress, allowing us to evolve into better people to better

Follow any path towards greatness knowing someone awesome will always have our hearts and backs.

Gaining confidence with anything takes time because we have to endure triumphs and letdowns that

Help us recognize what we’re good at and what might need to go back to the drawing board to keep

Images of the future bright with a version of ourselves that can one day hopefully change the world.

Joy can be found anywhere and in anybody, so whenever you require a friend, I’m here and aspire to

Keep you on a good path so that whatever future comes our way, we don’t have to be so afraid.

Nothing in life is guaranteed and that it why we often struggle to find our way, however keeping an

Open mind, we can take in whatever our days bestow us and resolve what we should hold onto and

Protect ourselves from dark temptations that we don’t need so we can focus on current challenges to

Quiet the storm of the universe and see where are true destinies wait for us hidden amongst the stars.

Reaching new heights takes a while because most people are on a very slow incline instead of a large

Slope or stairs that have some easier to see destinations to measure what progress has been made in

Traversing every strange little path reality lays down for anyone to possibly find happiness, but going

Under its too simple for most people and they get lost and not realize that there is in fact a way back.

Valuable lessons can be learned anywhere, but schools exist to help find paths to salvation with very

Wild classmates and teachers to prove that everyone is special and has the power to change using the

Extraordinary means that were never far away because that slow incline prevented you from far from

Yesterday’s problems and with the friends we make today, the odd future becomes more interesting.

Zapped by a pandemic, most people would be afraid of physical contact with strangers, yet a miracle

Amazingly befell a few lucky souls who made the commitment to help others by getting close to new

Bodies and everything beneath the hood that most either don’t wan to know or have the stomach for

Controlling the urge to run away at all the odd structures that go into making a human, however such

Discoveries have to be made by someone and you can proudly say that everything was very inspiring.

Every day much be taken in careful stride and anything acquired in class helps us develop and maybe

Forget the pain of the past when we all felt like life was passing us by from not knowing where such

Grey souls belong in a world full of many brilliant colors that have chosen may great people with the

Hank for a brighter future and fortunately, some of those people have become the teachers of today.

Imagine yourself a few years from now and if what you see isn’t so great, know that you have time to

Jump out of the way of despair using the best of today mixed with the despair of the past to find the

Kindled joy able to return the color to your world that is meant to be gratefully shared with everyone.

Listen to your heart and keep every smile from strangers there and in time you might find the strange

Magic that keeps life together and makes the climb towards greatness that much more glorious.

Almost at the end of another year and you have a lot to be proud of with what you’ve learned among

Zones of confusion and sickness that seem to be getting worse, yet you and others have found a big

Yearning to provide relief to others for whenever all the fear has finally lifted with those who became

Exceptional when so many things have lost their luster and there is little telling when it might return.

With the future lying beyond the horizon, it’s best to make the present something special with those

Vying for a life that has purpose and want to share their fun journeys with their strange new friends

Until they reach wherever they need to go for peace to be achieved using the skills obtained from the

Trade that awaits in the future, down a road laced with many facts that will make the climb towards a

Summit of great knowledge so much sweeter once at the top and you can finally take a big breath of

Relief when you look back at your old life and the past is a memory to be replaced with brighter ones.

Quick lessons in life are everyone, but when you enter a classroom for a higher learning, one needs a

Patient mind to take everything that the teacher has to bestow onto their pupils so that the astounding

Opportunities that were once out of reach amongst great people aren’t fantasies and after class ends,

Nothing will seem impossible for very long if the effort is put into achieving your wildest of dreams.

Many people can still have trouble finding their way even with so many chances for greatness because

Life is a game with some people having better odds than others and often wonder if all their learning

Kept being an illusion of hope as others flaunted greatness and rarely offered to help, but the cruelest

Jokes seem to have avoided you with friends who are in the same boat and don’t want to be so alone

Inside of a society where fortune seems to be unfairly given and not earned by those needing it most.

Hope may fade, but it’s never truly gone if you keep on trying with good people in your corner while

Gaining knowledge of who you really want to be with your trade and how can you help the lost ones

Find their way into the light of a day that doesn’t seem so frightening from not being on a level that

Eludes many because everyone is unique can’t be sad copies of others to manage the troubles of the

Dying world where variety is often shunned, but I know that you can do great things if you always try.

Consider me a good friend and there will always be a light in the darkness to follow and in time, you’ll

Bask in the rainbow meant to heal all those who remember all the colors that make up friendship.

Mornings are fascinating because gentle colors stretch along the horizon with the stars gone and the

Night is over for a lot people rising to meet their new day that often features overcoming the difficult

Obstacles left from the last day and dealing with the new challenges that lurk around every corner to

Pounce when least expected to continue the strange game that unfortunately makes up humanity that

Quickly can defeat the innocent, however if you stand with your friends, it’s harder for anyone to fall.

Remembering failures with triumphs is a key part in improving yourself because the drive for another

Successful day can keep alert to anything that can bring chaos into the mix and even if there are a few

Troubled times that are impossible to avoid, having friends can be what keeps on track and hopefully

Unlock your true potential by learning to trust those who have made you happy and kept far from the

Verge of despair from sharing all the exciting and gloomy moments that brought you to the present.

Welcome your days regardless of what may happen so that you’re not caught off guard by some rare

Experience of everything going right and use that energy to chase away the gloom of the past to feel

Youthful throughout every fiber of your body to remember the joy of before adulthood put you into

Zones where certain emotions can be cruelly suppressed in order to deal with people who love being

Atrocious for no real reasons and have forgotten what it was like to be positive because it feels right.

Being different isn’t something to be ashamed of, most of the time, as the differences people have do

Create a superior flavor of life for repelling the moments too sweet, sour, bitter or bland that leaves a

Dryness in the soul for enjoying the delights of bringing a smile to someone having a bad day and the

Elation of a friendly gesture is a powerful magic that can defeat the evils and cleanse intense sorrow.

Finding your voice in a loud world isn’t completely impossible because once someone hears someone

Gaining the confidence to speak louder, even about nothing, other words will find their ways out to

Help create something greater that quickly draws in a lot of very eager listeners who want to hear the

Incredible symphony of your soul put onto paper or maybe into song to help heal those in the dark.

Join your friends in small endeavors and find the power to overcome greater obstacles a please be

Kind to those who may have difficulties contributing to the group due to a lot of past rejection, yet

Listen closely and you’ll find that everyone’s poor heart beat with the same gentle and noble flame.

Mist rises from the mountains to conceal their mysteries that are only solved when the sunlight finds

Leaves of green to create an ocean that stretches for miles and merits a long walk with friends to the

Kingdom full of wonder to see what resides among the large hills that may be passed during the small

Journey down the road for simple things that often need something nice to provide a little distraction.

Inside one’s mind can be an amazing place where anything can happen for whenever you need ample

Help in coping with the fact that reality isn’t always so glorious and we create a few better worlds for

Great exploration of who may often not be seen in public because some ideas are too crazy for such

Fragile bodies to display anywhere outside the realms of fantasy, but it can still be really therapeutic.

Enjoying the company of others is something that has struggled in recent times where fear has sadly

Divided many people from gatherings full of joy and a lack of communication has put a many black

Clouds in the gentle skies that makes those trapped in isolation wonder when they will see those who

Brought relief to someone who already felt like an outsider at the best of times, but this year has been

Agreeable for finding quality over quantity due to the limits of school, yet I’m to have you as a friend.

Zoos used to be a way I described society because it was crowded with all kinds of insane animals all

Yammering for attention, but this past year has been a little quieter and those I’ve met have made the

Experience easier to take as they are hoping to get into the business of making stressed people happy.

Whether we see our friends often or not is a tender subject, yet if we still think of them then the odd

Valley of uncertainty isn’t so deep because friendship is a bridge that unite a lot of people and places

Ultimately in need of a reunion in trying times as the signs of people getting better haven’t improved

Terrifically and the limited interactions with friends have to be done with technology for an attempted

Soothing of exhausted nerves when physical contact is prohibited outside of some medical programs.

Receiving kind thoughts can do wonders for everyone, especially this lovely season, but don’t be so

Quiet in some places as a few nice words and a smile isn’t hard to give to those who unhappily have

Practically nothing in some areas of their lives and this act could be the first step on the road to joy.

Open your heart and you’d be astonished at how much brighter regular life becomes and as we draw

Nearer to the end of the year, I can say that my meeting new friends were some of the best parts.
