Black and White

Not everything you see is true,
For you only see black white and blue,
When trouble starts to comes your way,
You look back and run away,
Don’t you be scared of it,
You are not a counterfeit,
Be unique and stand proud,
Cause you must say it aloud.
That you are the yellow,
In the darkest black and white,
And it doesn’t give you a fright.
To see a plain world scared to
Shine,
Cause you are unique and going to fly.
Look through what you see outside,
Now look into the inside,
A place with colors everywhere,
And then you blink and it’s not there.

Pot of Gold

Whenever there’s a rainbow,
I try to find the pot of gold.
I can never find it,
Its getting kind of old.

According to legend,
The leprechauns leave one there;
At the end of the rainbow,
They just disappear into thin air!

But one day I found one,
It was very nice,
But then I realized,
It came with a price.

It said that I had to go to my house,
I had to do something,
And that something….
Was to eat…
A louse!

Without the pot of gold,
I then started to run;
I never go looking,
It’s not fun.

I Think of the Past

I think of the past
Realizing what they have told me is true
Time goes by fast, running
What was a year ago seems like yesterday
Blending with today

I think of the times when I had no care at all
The old days of fun and no worries like the world was mine.
But now I know that these things are small
In the scheme of the days I still have to come
And I have many things to become

Thoughts scrambling in my mind
With the things I remember
As I think here I find
Time goes by
Fast.
So I think of the past.

“As the moonlight fades”

as the moonlight fades
and the sky starts to sing
today is the day
the day that will bring you your wings

as the moonlight fades
you should become
Stronger
BIGGER
Braver
than you have ever been

for the new day awaits you
drowns you in reality from within
O P E
T P L S you over and over again

some days we hope not to open our eyes
while others will come as quite a surprise

you are as loud as a lion
wise as an owl
embrace yourself no need to scowl

the moon is beginning to fade
and the sun is starting to climb
Now truly is the time

as the moonlight fades
and the sky starts to sing
say today is the day
the day that will bring you your wings

One Christmas Eve

‘Twas the night before Christmas, the house was quiet,
Nothing, even a mouse, made such a riot.
The only sound in the house was the crackling fire,
Its embers dancing was surely great to admire.

I laid in my bed, tonight I was not a dozer,
For my sick feeling stomach would make me barf over and over.
So it continued, hours into the night,
The feeling if I was good or bad giving me fright.

Finally, I found the spot, and I closed my eyes,
After a couple minutes, I fell asleep that night.
All that night, I had many dreams,
That made me think what my fate would be.

Soon, the room was filled with light,
For through my window, the sun shone bright.
I trampled downstairs, and I came to a shock,
For the tree and the presents opened my happiness lock.

All day, I admired the gifts,
That Santa worked so hard for us to get.

The Ocean

the sound clashes
against the wind
it turns the world
into ashes
walking on the beach
on the silky sand
sinking into the earth
barely on land
the seagulls caw
the fish swim
the wind blows
the waves clash
as they grow
when they fall
the world almost cracks
they stack
and stack
and stack
on top of each other
until they’re so big
they could break a billion twigs
as you leave
the Beautiful place
you hear the Joyful sounds
of Grace
you wish you could store the Happiness
in a case
until later when you need them
to retrace
the path in which
you need to take

LIFE IS LIKE AN ONION

Life is a onion
the onion has multiple layers
so does life
when you peel off a layer
there’s another one to uncover
and each layer is different
like how each moment and emotion is different
and by the time you get to the center
it’s been a long time
and you rise up into the heavens

The finish line

you are starting the race
sweat is already dripping down your face
then you are off
and you are trying to show off

you come upon a rough patch
and then you fall
you need to stand up
you can hear people shouting ¨get up ¨ ¨se lever¨

slowly you get up and think
i am in here for the long haul

then you run
kicking up dust as you run

you are back in the race
catching up with everyone else
then ahead of everyone else
tears fill your eyes
you are so so tired
do not know if you can go any more

pushing yourself to run

the finish line is in sight
you are so close
stumbling you cross the line
everything is over
you hear people celebrating whoah whoah ¨bon travail¨

no more late nights
or stressful days
you are done working till your knees drop

a wave of relief
proudness
happiness
confidence
is washed over you

you have reached your GOAL
so get some rest
because soon there will be a new race you need to beat
