your vision, your voice
I wish somebody sat me down and told me,
Listen people will drag you down and laugh at your pain,
Just smile and walk away.
People will call you names to see you cry
Just roll your eyes and walk away.
People might not accept you for who you are
Just say ok and walk away.
People will make your life hard and try to better you
Just pull through and you will make it
I wish somebody told me that

I look up into the starry night
To see the quarter I dropped
Showering me in the silver light it shines.
The clouds cover the spotlight for the next scene
Where the wolf howls and the clock strikes thirteen.
I pick up the coin and watch the world swirl.
As the orb of night plunges to the horizon
The sunflower blooms,
shining the golden rays that seep into everyone’s room.
The hawk spreads its wings
To swim in its golden wave.
The gold doubloon’s blazing light
is like a bonfire burning bright.
But when I pluck the flower from the dirt mound
The whole world shifts around.
When the cold coin rolls over the flare,
The whole world goes dark.

A sword sharp as night
As quick as the light
It shines in the dark
The clang of metal makes your fingers disembark
It falls with a clatter
The steel begins to shatter
You pick it up
And look at it closeup
A single crack
And with just a wack
The blade could snap
With just a single tap
You take it for a repair
But to your despair
It cannot be mended
So you buy a new one

The light,
A tree shining bright,
The joy,
With lots of toys.
The sweets,
And the cold streets.
Family, and friends,
The love never ends.
There is a lot of glee,
To see presents under the tree.
A tree shining bright,
A bunch of light.
A bunch of toys,
With a bunch of joy.
The cold streets,
And bunches of treats.
The love never ends,
Not with family and friends.
To see bunches of presents under the tree,
There is a bunches of glee.
A tree shining bright,
Must be Christmas night.

Life is like a sunset
every day when you wake up you see the sunrise
and every time you go to sleep you see the sunset
Sometimes you reach a hard point in your life and
Sometimes the sun goes behind the clouds but the
Sun never stops rising and setting and your life never
Stops going forward
Some sunsets are beautiful and they shine bright and
Some go unnoticed just like some people make a
Difference and some don’t

I lay on the car’s sidewalk,
cold and hard.
I gaze up towards the mustard yellow sky.
I see the Golden ball,
It looks towards me,
and waves me a hello.
His golden light signals to me,
enjoy life,
enjoy its moments,
and be calm.
And the leaves on the tree
Flutter
All
The
Way
Down
To the ground
Reminding me of life’s ups and downs.

Tick Tock! Tick Tock! says the clock
Bong! Bong! Bong! It chants
counting down the time you have left
before you leave. How much time is left?
Hurry! Hurry! bongs the clock.
Don’t linger too long, it chants
Why do we need the clocks that chant?
Who cares how much time you have left?
Get rid of it! Get rid of the clock!
Trash the clock! You chant. Who cares how much time is left?

What love means to me,
is what love is meant to be.
Oxytocin’s what you get from hugs,
that comfort you when there are bugs,
and you’re afraid so you get lots of attention.
“It wasn’t on purpose, you won’t get in detention.”
If someone accidentally kicked me that’s what I’d say,
I’d hug them and tell them, “It’s okay.”
Comfort is what you get from a kiss,
that you give to someone who you’ll miss,
when they leave home and you will cry.
“It wasn’t on purpose, I’m not gonna die.”
If someone accidentally hit me that’s what I’d say,
I’d kiss them and tell them, “It’s okay.”

Colorful sparks fly from clouds
Jumping and leaping as joy and hope
Dark days come and wash the world with dread, then the wind blows down trees
Until a simple POP of color symbolises it is over, and all the colors represent a meaning
Of it’s own
Red is the burning hope and joy,
Orange is the happiness of family and friends,
Yellow is the confidence and energy to move along,
Green is the balance and growth of nature,
Blue is the Wisdom and loyalty,
And
Purple is the creativity and wealth of you even if you don’t know it
Together they make a rainbow, to say there is a new beginning now the world is
washed Free and purified from the harsh rain before it
