Have you met The girl on the outside
The girl inside of me? is not nearly as perfect

She is honest She is clumsy
And polite And shy
She never picks a fight And forgets half the time

She is loyal She lies
And brave And cheats
Stands tall for what is right And is selfish for a beat

A mask She always longs
She wears To do what is right
Whenever she has fright

But she is never like
The girl on the inside

My poor abstract brain is a mess
With boxes and boxes and piles of stress

A jumble of colors, of numbers, of names
With faces and places all much the same

Equations and times and lists of chores
And silver dust pattern marks on the floors

Someday I shall unbox an eternity
But for now it will stay a war of uncertainty

Come
Come across the roaring waves
And the thirsty desert
All the same

A lantern in the woods
Lights my darkened soul
And your smile of long summer days
Gathers dust in my memory

But the shimmering narrative of hope
Glints in all of the colors of the wind
As you set sail
Into the harbor of my heart

It’s the time of the year when we all gather
How on the day we all hope there is snow
But cold, we’ll run in to sit by the fire

We’ll eat ham and pie and in the background hear the crackling fire
We’ll laugh and open neatly wrapped gifts as we gather
Small pecks on the window as winter says hello using its crisp white snow

Its cold and windy and bells ring and blankets of snow
Fall, fall, fall and melt by the rich warmth of the fire
Songs will be sung, memories will be made, and families will gather

We huddle, gather, protected from the snow, and comforted by the fire.

Flip-Flops going bop bop on the smooth
Sand the tide is rising up
Crab holes in the sand

Building sandcastles with the wet sand
Then BOOM! someone kicks the wet smooth,
Sand the waves come in and goes up

All of a sudden BANG! Someone goes up,
And over the wave then I run through the sand
This is why I love sand that’s smooth.

Football is my life
Play some every day, love it
Hits, scratches and all

I love it so much
Will never put the ball down
Never have and won’t

I love the feeling
Soaring down the field to score
Always have a dance

Just got a touchdown
Celebrating with my team
Jumping up and down

Never had a bro
Football’s always there for me
Football I love you

The white specs of Snow,
Melt from the Heat,
But the outside still Cold.

The house is freezing Cold,
Because of the Snow,
But with the fire for Heat.

I hear the crackle then I feel the Heat,
My heart still Cold,
As I feel the silent whisper of Snow.

Snow, Heat, Cold

Light bright as day brings new stars
The cool Summer of the day
The evening time of stars

The time of night, ready like evening stars
The stars are gone done with playing now sun bright like light
Once 1st now 2nd day

The true time of the day
true and bright like summer stars
The brightest tune of the day bright like light

The bright light, the true time of day, brings Milkyway stars to play

A red flower.
Green thorns climb the spine
with delicate petals..

Soft, grand petals
adorn the head flower
hiding knives, watch YOUR spine

With a smile so bright, but an arched spine
they, a “flower”
disguise using petals

The “flower” with a sharper spine hides behind petals, and they watch you fall…
down
down down

I anxiously packed my bag the night before school
At school on the first day I feel so small
Wondering if I will make new friends makes me very stressed.

When I got my first homework assignment on the first day of school it beamed back at me and made me very stressed
I feel like I will never fit in at school
There were so many rules on the wall that they started to talk to me and were super small.

Everything felt so big because I was so small
Everyone already had friends this made me very stressed
At school some people are comfortable while others are not comfortable at school.

The school feels so big that it makes me feel so small which makes me feel stressed.
