Whether it was for fun or as a profession, during middle school and all througout high school I knew I wanted to write. Now I'm 20 years old trying to improve my skills after taking a couple years hiatus. The stories I write are aimed towards young adults, but I hope they're fun for everyone!
Oleander
Oleander
Your words speak truth
A poison in my veins
Slowly flowing throughout
However, I refuse to weaken
Pay me no attention
As you think I lay dying
Know not in your mind
Just continue your journey
The path you take is burning
Into my heart you pulse
Sweet poison fills the body
Now deceased in your eyes
Notice not my petals seeking
Your rays desperate for attention
Refuse to believe I firmly stand
Please have faith in my strength
Water me down to help me grow
With that sweet poison
To which I’m now immune
Turning instead into a fatal nectar
I’ve grown accustomed to
The poison in my veins
However, I refuse to weaken
Transforming to an Oleander

Summary: A poem about adapting to a lifestyle to be with someone.
A good friend of mine, Noah, has rewritten this poem with my permission in his own words. Read his version of Oleander here. It’s actually a lot better, lol.
