Anyway, yes, I have written hundreds of
poems from since I was 12 years old.
I will be posting one poem every day here.
I hope you enjoy reading them.

These poems will progress from the
beginning to the present day.
I shall also note the age, year,
and reason for each poem.

"All I Wanted" (C) Marissa Faries

For years I have always cried myself to sleep,
But that started after those bullies' words
Began to creep into my mind,
My optimism and happiness had become blind.
Making me think that I was always alone.

I seen how I was bratty and seemed to be happy,
But inside, my inner sadness resides.
The tears that I cried were all about me wanting or needing
Someone to be by my side.
Every night I wished for a less lonelier life.

Nobody could come over or sleep over sometimes
And I would be doing nothing,
Except for thinking
About my life's meaning.
A close friend was all I've been asking for.

Someone who would talk to me everyday,
Even when the sky's grey.
Someone who would listen to me carefully
And comfort me later on in the day.
All I wanted was a true friend.

I wrote this when I was 12 years old (2006).
I was a rather lonely child,
having been an only child for eleven years.
