The bright sun is blazing,
in a sea of blue.
A gentle wind grazing
the tops of trees, too.

Suddenly, blue fades to gray.
The wind picks up; the rain pours down.
Trapped in their houses they will stay,
as destruction occurs throughout the town.

Houses crumble into piles of rubble,
water invading all around.
With storms and floods come great trouble,
trees are blown to the ground.

While some of us stayed safe and dry,
others were affected a great deal more.
Now all there’s left to do is try
to restore the city it was before.

Biscuits are my favorite snack
This is an undeniable fact

Warm with a golden tint
Looking over causes my eyes to squint

At the beauty of the delicious biscuits
I begin to eat all of them, one by one

Until my stomach says no more
And I am done

Biscuits are my favorite snack
This is an undeniable fact

Failure is the penalty,
4 continually getting things wrong.

Success on the other hand is the award,
4 getting things continually right.

Failure puts u down in despair.
Success sends u soaring among the clouds.

Therefore, I look at myself and wonder,
am I a success or a failure
Then maybe I am a bit of both.
Whichever way the hammer falls
only u can decide.

Ballet, Contemporary, Jazz and more
many types of dance out on the floor

Listen to the music and the rhythm
Let your body move and sway

Feel the music, Feel the rhythm
Let your heart dance away

It’s a way to express
It’s a way to entertain

But it’s also a way to let go,
just like dancing in the rain

Bury me in my favorite colors
Tell my sisters and my brothers
I hope you know, you’ll be ok
I’m not going away today
My biggest fear of leaving you
But you’ll leave me too
So please don’t cry
I will try
To be with you when my time is neigh
But you may ask
Why do we live if we are going to die
or
Why do we die and make people die
To that I say
Well, when you live
You can love

It’s now 3087
We’re far into the future,
The world is good.

No wars or fighting.
No more crazy presidents.
We are all at peace.

There are flying cars,
Robots in every household,
New technology.

Nothing can go wrong,
We’re a green community,
And no one can leave.

We have a luxury,
We have clothes, food, and shelter,
What more could we need?

Everything was great,
Until SHE came into our world,
And wrecked it all again.

She was a devil,
Her eyes were as dark as coal,
No one could survive.

And that was the end,
People were fading away,
Then it disappeared.

The world had vanished,
Everything was a nasty grey,
No one seemed to care.

The world had vanished,
Everything was a nasty grey,
No one seemed to care.

The happy times ended,
The world remained dark again,
There is no future.

It’s 3088,
The future has passed away,
No one cares, goodbye.

Me and my favorite person are together,
alone in the dark, quiet night.
No sounds or humanity around us.
Everything around us is asleep except for the stars.
They are sparkling brightly in the pitch black sky.

Just me and him, together, on a hill, under the stars.
We gaze upon city lights.
There’s no people or movement.
It’s abnormal.

Me and him listening to the breeze.
Cold air in our lungs and on our faces.

Stars scattered across pitch black.

Me and my favorite person watch everything.
And because we are together,
We feel safe even though we both feel so small and pathetic against the big, quiet, dark world.
We are together.

And that’s all that matters.

Drip, Drip
Sounds of
Rain. I snip, snip,
The quilt of
Pain. RIP, RIP,
That nightmare’s swain.
Not enough?
My golly me.
A touch of rough?
Why, I see glee.

I’ve tried, I’m tired.
I’ve cried, I’m out.
And once again,
I’ve cried, I’m done.
Thank you for my guide,
Without him I would’ve died.
But now all he was,
Was a dream, a dream that turned.

Bye, Bye,
To that fickle heart.
That one has died,
I now have pride.
Head held high,
Eyes wide open.
A future soon to see.

Flip, flip,
The switch to
light. I grip, grip,
My loving
Knight. Strip, strip,
Them walls of steel.
A new me will be waiting on the other side.

Smog gusts, people scream and animals run,
Wind races, lightning strikes everywhere and it cannot be undone.
No shelter no protection and no aid,
Nowhere is safe and happiness fades.
No clear water and no blue sky,
Trees are dead, fish have a disease and children cry.
People will misgive,
No one will live.
We have no time to waste,
We stop this now, before it’s too late.

Soccer is a game about teammates,
And a game about teamwork.

You always need help to score,
That’s what teammates are for.

Being selfish is always hated,
That’s what makes players overrated.

When your opponent gets a lead,
That’s when your team uses their speed.

Winning a championship is sometimes a dream,
But you could win one with a good team.
