Here are poems written by two of the girls at Gardner House, featured in this month's article The Power of Sharing:When does the clock stop ticking?
Will time ever erase itself?
Back to when my family was still a family?
Back when tears fell for joy.
And the air was full of peach and beauty.
But now my world comes down on me.
The time continues to tick again.
My unrealistic dreams are washed away by the songs of my cruel reality.
As I come back from my childhood fantasies,
I wonder - Will life ever be the same again?
by Rebekah R.
She sings a soft song to heal her misery
She denies ever being sad and lonely
She covers her emotions with a fake broken smile
No one can see through it, the fog is just too thick
She never cries, she just holds it in
No one seems to notice, everybody is too wrapped up in their own lives
She is all alone in the world
No one hears her, no one cares
by Shannon H.
