Photo Response

In this Writing Workshop we were shown a picture and told to write something about it. In this picture there were two people, a man yelling on his cell in the background and in the front was a women in a red dress putting on red lipstick walking away. I wrote on poem and showed my teacher, she liked it and told me to try to make another one for it with the time I had left in class. Here is what I wrote.

Poem #1

Angry words are far behind me
Yelling
Screaming
I'm done with it
I'll become someone
I never was before
I'll put on my red dress
And the lipstick to match
I'll walk away
I wont go back
I go through the front door
And I hear him yell
That it wont be long
Until I return
Maybe that's true
It has happened before
But maybe today is the day
That I leave for sure
I'm tired of this
The arguing
The fighting
I want to be free of it
I want to find a place
That is full of peace
I want to go
Where I have never been before
I want to b somewhere
Where I can be free

Poem #2

Its time for the party
Time to get ready
But there's to much noise
He's yelling at someone on his phone
Probably
From work
He'll probably have to go again
And leave me by myself
Alone
Not that I care
Not like I have anything better to do
Not like I don't love him
Not like I miss him
Not like I cry when he's gone
But...
Maybe I do
But he never needs to know that
I'll let him believe I'm happy
Let him believe I'm fine
Maybe one day he will see everything
And come to hold me
Until the tears go away
But until then
I will pretend
That peace reigns
