July Fourth
July fourth is always fun
Spending time in the sun
Celebrating with food and games
Cheesy burgers leaving greasy stains
Fireworks exploding in the sky
Looking beautiful as they fly
Celebrating children cheer
July fourth is here

When your merely standing,
time passes, kingdoms fall,
The world changes with every step you take, and each one you don’t.

It adjusts to every vast or even miniscule
force, physical and psychological,
that may come its way.

What lies there, wrapped in an enigma,
hiding in plain sight is the force that you or anyone
can put upon this cocoon of mystery we live on.

I used to but now..

I use to want to go to the movies,
Now I want to BE in the movies

I used to do gymnastics,
Now I do soccer

I used to be lazy,
Now I want to do everything

I used to be in Pre-k
Now I’m in 6th grade

I used to watch people play music
Now I play music

I used to play with toys
Now I play with friends

Soccer

The beautiful game is known as soccer
We play in the day where it gets hotter and hotter
We kick the ball with our feet
We laugh and play, even with defeat
We argue with the ref when we hear a tweet
And when we score
Our feet are sore
This is the beautiful game known as soccer

 

I let
Out your
Hamster whoops
Im very sorry

You got
It the
Day before

Please forgive
Me it was
So soft
And sweet
Please ?

My family is a clock

My mom are the numbers
keeping us on track and time

My brother are the hands
always in motion

My dad is the glass
holding us together

I am the rim bold and outstanding
My family is a clock

I am from flipping on sweaty gymnastics mats
From tarte shimmery makeup palettes and crowded couches.
I am from watching tv, dad not being around, and dog slobber.

I am from orchids and from long grass.
From waking up early on Christmas day and from funny, obnoxious jokes.
From Emily and Wayne.
I am from biting nails and from snapchat, from don’t talk back and give me your phone.
I’m from missing Dad’s and family.

I’m from family in East Texas, from chili and burgers.
From kayaking with friends and laughter.
I am from Minnetonka, Minnesota.

Gorzycki Middle School

I come here every day.
I hardly get to play.
Sitting in my chair listening to you.
While you criticize what I like to do.

You always compare one thing to another.
It really makes me wonder,
Is this what I want to do when I get older?
My dreams keep getting colder.

If I quit, will I find a solution?
This place is full of noise pollution.
Rock and Roll is my passion.
In this place I don’t get much satisfaction.

“I am the walrus,’’ isn’t that a Beatle line?
I just sit here while wasting my time.
Coming to this place is so hard.
All I want to do is rock my guitar.

My pencil slips out of my grip
It clinks against the desk
It rolls and strolls across the room before coming to a rest
But my teacher is still talking and I feel I cannot move
I watch it as it sits there until it’s broken by a shoe
