Tearin' Up My Heart

Marissa Galin

P.3 2/6/09

After only seventeen years short years, Marissa Galin has completely a short novel, several short stories and poems. She is lately exploring the art and style of lyricism. Creative and well-read; Marissa enjoys using allusion to her favorite songs, TV shows and movies. She also enjoys art, music, but most of all—theatre. The theatre has shaped Marissa into who she truly is; the skill of acting and the value of trust between actors and peers has helped her in countless ways in her life. She has suffered through hardships that also have matured her and inspired her help others later in life by teaching her passions and sharing her insight. In response to some rough, “teen-angsty” experiences in her early high school years, she was inspired to write this poem.

Tearin’ Up My Heart

My soul burns in the fiery depths of despair

You have shred every bit of joy from my life

You said you once loved me without hesitation

But now you stab me in my heart with a knife!

I am so depressed

My life is over

I can’t live without you

You left me to

DIE

In this cold harsh world…

I

C

L

V

Y

O

U

!

Please come back to me.

I’m too pretty to die.


(I have a feeling blogger will butcher my formatting. But its really cool in the original. This poem was written to be a mockingly funny poem based on all of the ridiculous teen-angsty poems/novels that are all the rage these days.)
