Inspired by the Poem Challenges - Write a poem where the title is 'Distance'
I'd run a distance, I'd run a mile
Just to see, once, to see you smile
For you, anything. I'd run a distance
Because, for you, I've got no resistance
I'd do anything for you, whether that distance a walk or sprint
Would you do the same? Do I need to take the hint?
I don't know if it's obvious you like me
From a distance, could others see?
Do you really, would you run a distance?
For me, if you cared, with no resistance?-
Twenty is more than a number, bigger than you think
Like having twenty errands or twenty things to overthink
What if you wrote twenty poems, or even twenty-five
About one girl, like I did, who makes me feel alive
This girl's got twenty sparks in her soul, and a heart of gold
And I'll still love her in twenty years until we're both old
This girl's got twenty features I can list that I admire
And when I'm with her I feel twenty times hotter than a fire
This girl has twenty things I can list about her that I adore
But I bet now and always that I'll love her twenty times more-
Please make me a promise, and never leave me
Because out of all I have, you're the friend I need
Please keep that promise, and best friends we'll stay
Because I don't want to have it any other way
Please make me a promise, and don't lie to me
If something happens, tell me, if I didn't see
Please keep that promise, and I'll be honest too
Because I don't and never want to lose you
Please make me a promise, not to be mad at me
At least not without explanation, please say definitely
Please keep that promise, and I'll always forgive you as well
Because even if I was mad I'd sit with you and tell
Please make me a promise, no one else will make us fight
And we'll talk before we find out what's wrong or right
Please keep that promise, and don't always believe
Because others could just be trying to deceive-
You're my favourite and you always have been, so what am I to you?
Am I just another one of your friends, or do I mean more to you?
Do you like me more or like me the same too?
Am I just nothing, just someone who'll do
Anything you ask because I'm scared you'll leave
And of course I trust you but sometimes you're hard to believe
How do I know I'm your best friend, not someone you'll deceive
Because you're the bestest friend I've ever received-
We used to be a pair like guitar chords and a strum
We used to be as close as the sticks with a drum
The guitars echo as every strum with the pick
But then it all blew like a candle and a wick
We stopped talking for what? Half a year?
Just like the perfect music student I volunteer
I'll do whatever it takes to play that game again
Play your heart like a harp like you did, then
But really, I wouldn't do that, I'm as lovely as a xylophones bars
Because even if I'm mad, I'm not going to fight or start wars
I may seem dull like a D drone, but when you know me, it's a D’ (D sharp)
And even if I'm mad like you once were, I'll not play your heart like a harp-
I find it so nice seeing her frown turn into a smile
Because I can make her hate and love me within a while
She pretends to be mad just to hear me beg
Something about her, she's worth an arm and leg
I love watching her face from anger to laughter
And seeing her pretend to be mad again after
I know she likes me, she thinks I'm funny
Without her, I'm dull and not half as sunny
I love being with her because she makes me smile a lot
There's hardly a minute I'm with her where I'm really not
I always hang out with her and tell her everything
Because she makes me feel like I can tell her anything
I never tell her how much I appreciate her even when she's torturing me
Because she makes me laugh and smile, something everyone can see-
I know I shouldn't but I still do
Why do I care so much I'm just a fool
But it's everything about her that I can't reject
On me, she just has this charming effect
Her eyes, her voice, her laugh and her smile
For her I'd run breathlessly mile after mile
All the times we spent together, especially alone
When I lay on her shoulder and she scrolled on her phone
I'll never forget, it was more than two years ago
But her and that moment are just things I won't let go
Her eyes are so hypnotising that I just say yes
If she knew she had control over me I'd be a mess
She'd use it to her advantage that my vulnerability
Is easy access to her and I'm just her necessity
There if she needs me but she doesn't really care
But just a year ago we made an inseparable pair
I miss that still and why? I just say, “but her eyes,”
They're the one thing to always have me mesmerised.

I wonder what it's like to be a row of trees
You're not judged, just something a person sees
But why can't I be a row of trees?
Because I hate being judged.. please please please
I don't like being me because I'm not a row of trees
And no matter what I do I can always get teased
Because nothings as simple as being a row of trees
But I feel like winter when I'm losing all my leaves
I wish I was just someone, not important just someone sees
And they don't even think twice or want to maybe tease
Because I don't like it, I don't like being me
Maybe I'd be better off if I was just a tree-
The sunrise is so beautiful, watching all the colours blend
If only I'd someone to watch it with to give my heart a mend,
The faded yellow deepens into an orangey pink
The yellow, blue, and pink fades, disappearing in a blink,
Before the sun rises, the pink and blue mix
It's the like the sky is experimental playing colour tricks,
They blend then fade away, as the sun makes its way out
Blindingly but still beautiful, the sun shines without a doubt,
It illuminates onto trees and hedgerows surrounding grassy land
Why don't you watch the sunrise with me? Come and take my hand,
It shines and gives shadows to trees facing away
The sun shines everywhere it has its own way-
School is stressful, and I'm meant to be smart
But what if I end up failing?
Only then will I have to listen
To everyone wailing.
They think I know everything, and I should get 100
Every. Single. Time.
But really, at this point, I just want to pass,
I don't care if they'll whine.-
