Someday

Someday,
I will be Valedictorian,
I will be the smartest person in high school.

Someday,
I will be an ophthalmologist,
I will perform surgeries in the eye.

Someday,
I will be a new Albert Einstein,
I will create new theories.

Someday,
I will be a soccer player,
I will score a goal for the USA national team.

Someday,
I will find a repeat or end in Pi.
I know experts have searched a trillion digits with no end in sight.
Don’t give up.
Be hungry for more !

For All The Grief

For all the grief
An empty doorway
For love
Leaning grasses
And two lights
Above the sea

A poem should not mean
Just you and me
So why can’t you see
Why don’t you love me
As much as i
Love you
Want you
Your hate
Your love
Your disappointment

You jump into the sea
And try to pull me free
You made me this way
Drowning in my own hate
It used to hurt
I used to scream
But now i give in
I let the salt
Fill my lungs
It doesn’t hurt
Anymore

For that
For teaching me
I should thank you
Giving in to the pain
The suffering
Because in the end
I am salt
Inside and out.

Football

The leathery pigskin ball,
made for thanksgiving day.
The laces fit perfect in my left hand!
A sport that’s-
hardworking and grueling,
painful and tiring.

You give it your all or,
go back home.

The crack of the pads,
Crack, pop, Crack, pop.
The whistle of the ball,
calls me home.

Players running round the field like,
a bee zipping through the sky.

FOOTBALL is one of the,
best games to ever be,
made.

The Forest

In the dark scary night
The trees rocked back and forth
Like they were dancing
The leaves flew away like a kite

The wind howled
Like a werewolf
The birds were silent
As silent as a mouse

The river was flowing fast
Saying hi then bye
but at the same time

There were monsters
Hunting for kids

The forest was mute
But there were children
They were playing in the forest
They saw the monster
It was standing tall
Almost as big as Big Foot

You could see the fear in their faces
They RAN and RAN
They SCREAMED and SCREAMED
They shouted “AHHH!!”
But then the Forest went silent again

The Perfect Pet

“Are we there yet, are we there yet?”
the excitement ringing in my ear.
we arrived at the pet store.
buying my first pet like my first present.
trying to find something fuzzy,
or scaley.
i can’t find the right one.
i looked through all the aisles.
“Did we check the back?”
there it was…
spikly, spotted, smooth.
i found perfect pet.
i look down at the name tag…
it said…
Godzilla.

Independent

You’re telling me in HEB
That I can’t buy soda with my own money
Even though it’s buy one get one free!
You’re like an Xbox controller, except
instead of controlling a character,
you’re controlling me

You see, I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place
If I go one way I’m being micromanaged
and my independence is taken away…
If I go the other way I’ll have my independence
But I’ll get punished for ignoring the crappy controller
controlling me

Even though I sometimes disagree,
I know that you’re looking out for my safety
and you want me to be happy
and healthy
And when I finally turn 18
I know that independence will come to me

You see I’m glad you’re looking out for me
But the truth is…
I don’t like being told what to do
How to do it
When to do it
But do you know what I do like?
I like constructive criticism…

I only want that controller out when I need help
I’m capable of figuring things out myself
So only bring that controller out
When I start to scream and shout
And when I’m the to beg for help
Now hopefully you’ve figured out
That I don’t always need you to help me out

I’m independent,
meaning
I try my best to depend on myself

The Uber Driver

Fast and furious,
Zooming through
the streets.
People Stare,
but she doesn’t care.

“Destination?”, she asks.
“Oh um Time Square.”, replies the passenger.
Flying Car? Super Powers?
Strong, beautiful, smart driver.

She wore a red
and blue steel dress.
An incredible head band
and best of all the
fanciest boots ever.

“I appreciate the ride”, thanked the passenger.
“Of course, no need to thank me.
Next time you need a ride request me.”, proudly announced
WONDER WOMEN.

Pep rallies

The bell goes D
I
N
G, and we all go crazy,
we get this vibe, this sensation, this feeling
that twists and turns in your body so freely and wild.

You get to the gym and it is like a wild
world full of different emotions. You are also feeling
different drum beats inside your heart and it’s so crazy!

When it comes to an end, you get relieved that feeling
is gone in a dash, just like The Flash! Suddenly wild
cheers begin to appear that drive us all crazy!

Even though there is such a crazy, wild, feeling, you get a break from class and get to play around.

Moving away

My tears dripped from my eyes,
Like rain that falls from the sky
Like the water that dripped when I was baptized
Those tears fell in the middle of July.
Why did she leave me-
Going so far away,
This is no time for your Yippies-
Why does it have to be today?

Even though she’s leaving it will be okay,
She’s just moving away-
We can meet halfway-
Now it is time for hooray!
I can still see her and she can still see me-
Yippie!
