your vision, your voice
I hate celery a lot
Because
It’s gross
It tastes like rotten trash
It tastes like a garbage can and raw fish
It’s that bad
I get grossed out when people eat it
Because it is so terribly bad
I don’t understand how you could enjoy it
It’s really bad.

Life is like a ball
It goes
Up
And
Down
And back again
You just have to get a grip on the ball and hold it
S

But, if you drop the ball again
It will go
Up
And
Down
And that will make it harder to get a grip on it again
And you struggle and struggle until
You
Catch
It
And that’s just like life
You
D
R
O
P
It and pick it
U
P
So know that your life is balanced
You wait
Until you drop the ball once more.

School is like a basketball game
Your player scores on you,
Like when you fail a test
You miss easy shots,
When you miss your bus
You get blocked,
Like when you don’t have anyone to sit with at lunch
WHEN YOU LOOSE,
When you fail the 6 weeks test.
BUT you get up and play another game

Watching as the trees below me get smaller
the snow falls swiftly to the ground

higher and higher
as the cold ice hits my face
sharp blades against my cheeks.
watching as everyone slides gracefully down the mountain.
with poles in their hands.
And the trees dance with the cold winter wind.
I inhale the cool, crisp air
and watch.
then realize,
winter is all i need.

Warm wind whistles and whirles
Ocean waves twinkle and twirl
Oh how calm and pretty,
I never want to leave this city
Hot sand burning my feet
And the coconuts, oh so sweet
For this is the picture that rests on my head
As I lay silently, in my bed
Wishing I could be there
In a striped beach chair
But I’m here in he freezing cold
“Don’t forget your jacket!” My mom scolds
I grab some hot cocoa, and make the best
I mean, at least I don’t have a school test!

My baby,
Sweet, loyal, adventurous,
You’ll always be my leading lady.
And, will be for the next century.
You know you are the best,
Even when you are sad,
To have you, I am blessed.
Though you may sometimes be bad,
I love you.
From your sharp claws that sometimes scratch me,
That don’t need any shoes,
To your wet, little nose, which wants more turkey
Don’t you ever say goodbye,
Because I will love you till the day i die.

The walls are dull, like w o r n o u t knives.
Some lights are br
ok en.
You’re coopedup in a small room
For what seems like h o u r s at a time.
You’re bored to
d.e.a.t.h…
But when you think about lunch you
BURST out of your cell
Faster than lightning.
The warm, golden food looks SO good…
Until you realize,
It’s not supposed to be warm,
And it’s not so golden after all.
You don’t like it, but you ask for more.
But soon you find yourself right
back
Where you started, where
The walls are dull, like w o r n o u t knives.
Some lights are br
ok en.
And you’re thinking about lunch.

There is no better test of will then when you’re heart consumed in flames
When you’re body and mind go to war, until something gives out
You’re body screams and begs you to stop the pain
it tells you that it’s worn-out
it tells you all this suffering is in vain
You’re mind tells you that you can not bailout
it tells you that you should not complain
it tells you that there can be no time-outs
You want to believe you’re brain
You want to believe that you can finish this workout
But the one who decides that is you.

I will always LOVE my little brother
that’s how I feel
no matter how much he annoys me.
He will always LOVE me
he knows he will always be my brother
that’s how he feels.
LOVE is a great feeling
that everyone feels especially me
together forever, me and my brother.
Feelings are like air-everywhere
me and my little brother
like milk and cookies.
We go perfectly together!

Like a graceful song, the river would wave
Happy that they found some new friends to talk
As they perched themselves up on this rock
They played a soft melody as the water started to cave
This caught me off guard as the water rose from it’s depths
It swiveled and turned to the tune of the song
I looked at them wondering if this is my wrong
They shook their head and continued to play with no ounce of regret
The song was pushed to a sudden stop as they slipped from their rock
The water crashing and splashing as it entered my lungs
A scream for help as they helped no one
My vision went blurry as all I saw was them, who shook their head and began to walk
Now I will forever regret this song of the river
