Misery loves me

So... This is the beginning of college life. I wonder...

Anyway.. I'm posting 2 poems. One of my friend's and the other is mine.

(Untitled) by Nicole A.

out in the streets
a 10 year old tries to survive
she knocks on car doors
hoping a life will giver her some change
trusts who she meets
but no one cares for her being
when the sun falls
the streets will serve as her stage

mother
why did you leave me so soon
i'm in the darkness of youth
couldn't you have betrayed me
later in life
so why'd you leave me alone

out in the streets
a 10 year old hides for cover
he hugs his knees
pretends he's eaten something better
out in the cold
he wishes he had protecton
he stops and stares
they're looking at me
looking at me

answer me!
i'm not strong enough
answer me!
could you be more cruel

It's good.. it really is. I love it. anyway... i havent finished my "song" yet.. so whatever.

P.S. by Ysa
Who are you really?
Can I really call you my own?
Please don't let me use my heart as a weapon to get to you
Aid me, before I plead guilty

You know how your words get to me
But that's all we'll ever have
Your words and my misery
Because you're not here with me

It's until the break of dawn that I stop seeing you
It's then I open my eyes
Stand up and face reality once more
Place my feet on the cold shore
