Notice me forgetting you

Your smile I loved

Your eyes, so blue

Your hair like ice
So blonde
It’s white

I haven’t seen you
In months
And I’m already forgetting

The details
I need them
I want them
All back

You haven’t noticed
You probably
Don’t care
That I am forgetting
Your style
Your stare

Please notice me
Forgetting you
And please help me
because
I don’t want to

 

Watching as you entrance me into a gaze that wont let me look away
The colors of
blue
orange
and yellow
Dazzle my eyes making me sob,
for the dazaling thing is on my house
burning it
down
into
ashes,
so much for beauty because on the inside its a monster

The warmth of my cat

Her whiskers tickle my face

They stir my dreams, like little whisks,

She asks me, are you living

I respond,

lulls me into a deep slumber

and my imagination

into a flight of fancy

the life of your dreams?

I’m in a dream

 

I am the boy
Who is afraid of the dark
When I go to sleep
I am afraid
I am always
Afraid
Not afraid of the
Monster
Living under my bed
But afraid of the monster
Inside of my
Head
The one that will
Leave me
Dead
I am the boy
Who is afraid of the
Dark

 

Can you see it?
A ghost of hope
in a world
where a fake smile
is traded for
ash
This smile is from
a heart
A smile made from
flushed cheeks and
riches that can only be found
in the soul
A smile that smells of
cream and orchids
Made by
a curve of lips
with just a dash of crinkling
from your eyes
A smile so
genuine
it speaks like a
song
Its a smile of birds
and mugs being clinked
A smile for an old brick house
A smile that doesn’t need to be from someone you know
because
a smile
is the freest thing
but can buy
an endless amount of
happiness and love.

 

Let me drop some sense in you about life.

Well, it’s pretty short and sometimes not right.

I guarantee you won’t smile every day.

 

“Friends.” What’s that?!

They smile to your face

Yet are quick to talk behind your back.

Man, what do you call that?

 

Who said life was easy?

Whoever caused you your pain

Aint worth crying for in vain!

Just get through and move on.

 

You cared for them!

Worried for them!

You want the best for them!

But think about it…Are they worth caring for?

 

What hurts me the most is I thought we

were “so close.”

I told my mom about you, but as soon as she

got to know you, she saw the real you!

I’m done playing the “forgive me” game.

I gave you so many chances.

You deserved not one!

 

You gave me all those “sorrys” and “please

forgive mes” and guess what?

My stupid self fell for it!

I was such a good friend to you,

And don’t you deny it

Cause all those times you begged for

forgiveness-I did.

You were never a good friend to me.

I knew it all along.

I just didn’t want to leave you.

You know you needed me-I kept you out of trouble.

Well at least I tried.

Of course there was a point I loved you.

A lot.

 

But now you can forget about it

You’re so gone.

Violence has not personally happened to me but it is going around throughout the world. It seems every day we are hearing about acts of violence on the news or through people we know. Even at school we have lockdown drills to practice in case some dangerous person tried to hurt us or threaten us. We have been having lots of drills because there have been lots of attack this year including on school campuses.

In my opinion, violence usually starts when two people or groups have a disagreement. Some acts of violence have started over stupid things like T-ball games, sneakers, and road rage. When it starts to get violent is when one or more people from a group do or say something to make the other side mad. Things start escalating and then get worse and worse. It will start with yelling, then bad language, next a little pushing then punching and if it’s that bad maybe even killing. Sometimes violence doesn’t end for years like family disputes, gang rivalries and wars between nations.

One way I can try to prevent violence is by not being a bystander. If I feel safe I can try to break up a fight to the best as my ability. I can also stop a serious argument that I know can turn into something bad by offering help or by coming up with a solution. With so much bullying going on in schools another way I can try and prevent violence is by being nice, and using kind words to people even if I don’t know them that well. You never know what kind of a day someone is having. It can take as little as one word at the wrong time to push someone to cause violence to himself or others.

Just the feeling of the water
Sent a rush through me
Every single cell was alive inside me
I could do anything
I was invincible
But now
Something distracts me from that rush
A negative electric charge
Now flows inside me
Thick grey fog seeps into my blood
And a blazing fire behind my eyelids
Blinds me
I surface and gasp for air
The wall fades in and out of focus
I can’t do it
I can’t stand the pain

 

Work
Working makes you better and helps you,
You have to work to get STRONGER but,
No one likes work
To get stronger you have to learn to love work
You go to the gym to get STRONGER
You wanna keep going and you don’t want to give up

Your shoulder angel tells you to keep going,
But the devil says to give up
If you want to get STRONGER when you are running
Then you should never give up
Giving up makes you
Weak
You have to be persistent
persistence

 

She held the light of the sun
she was sweet
she knew the answer to everything
she embraced everyone’s flaws
she is gone

From times I knew her
she was part of my world
part of my soul

Loss
can be a terrible thing
a moment of hatred
though a thing she always knew
was that love never dies
you always have love in the palm of your hand
just buried underneath all the doubts

Loss
can also be a relieving time
a time where grief can be lifted off your shoulders
once you realize the person is in a better place now
where nothing can hurt them

And you feel redemption when you realize
a loss can also be a win
if you let it.
