The Reason Why



This poem was written as part of a Power Writers Workshop in my Mediastorm Class.  The program was highlighted in the film To Be Heard.

The reason why I make sure that every night I go to sleep thinking about you
the reason why I have to leave my house on the weekends
the reason why I go to school, even when my eyes are half way open
the reason why I scream,fight and put up a show
I scream FUCK YOU, you scream DO YOU
The reason why we break up then make up
The Reason I Look Into your eyes and I can tell a story
The reason why I stay up on the phone until 530am to wake up at 7am
Sometimes I look up at the stars and think about how long it's going to last
but, the reason why is because i'm afraid
Afraid to loss the point of all the reasons why I LOVE YOU .

  1. This has to be an amazing poem. I love how it flows together, you talk about this one kid that you do good in school, even though you fight. you guys end up back together. It amazes me that through anything you two can stay together.

  2. I love this, It reminded me of my past relationship. I can picture you looking up at the sky and being in school with half closed eyes. Although It's short your able to convey the feeling of love really well which is the best part.
