Pandora's Collective 2009

Youth Scholarship Recipient: Kendra Pacilla

 

Bio:

Hi, my name’s Kendra. I live in Vancouver. I think the most important thing to me is my music, but my friends and books are a pretty close second. I love to read, and write. I like romance and action stories, or anything to do with vampires. I’ve been writing poetry since I was about 10, but I’ve been writing stories for as long as I can remember. A lot of my writing has to do with love, because it’s one of the things that have influenced me. Love between friends, family, and couples. These next few poems are about the latter type of love. I can’t say if they’ll help you in anyway, because they are only from my own, meandering experience. Enjoy!
 
Poems:
 
Angel

Sitting right behind me
As I take my seat
Looking for the little things
Just to let me see
You might feel for me
And I know I feel the same
I love you, little angel
And for that I feel no shame

You walk me to my class
Trying to hold back
All the things you want to say
All you think you lack
You may confide in me
Because we are the same
I love you little angel
And for that I feel no shame

You now leave me alone
I see what you mean
I walk to class by myself
I think I'll go insane
You don't love me anymore
My little angel gone
My little guardian angel
But my heart you know you won.

 

Wish Letter

Missing has to be the worst feeling
A heart-twisting pain that sends me reeling
You said you wanted me but then you didn't
You had your ideal, and I tried to fit it
I needed you just like I needed air
But you preferred to act like you didn't care
I needed you when you were sitting right there
But I don't think you like me, if my assumption is fair
Now you have her, and I still have no one
I just wish you'd loved me, seen me as 'the one'
Missing you is the worst ever feeling
My heart twisting pain, that sends me reeling
 
 
The Door
 
Right foot left foot
Open the door
Right foot left foot
Look at the floor
Right foot left foot
See your face
Right foot left foot
Can't erase
Right foot left foot
See your smile
Right foot left foot
Once in a while
Right foot left foot
This isn't my place
Right foot left foot
Without a face
Right foot left foot
I need a disguise
Right foot left foot
Don’t look in my eyes
Right foot left foot
Look at the floor
Right foot left foot
Walk out the door
