your vision, your voice
For once my rope is untied.
Splash! This water filled with freedom
Runs over my sleek black coat,
Trickling into the master of my beautiful boat.
Set sail on these dark rocky waters.
Make way for my reckless hull.
Let my mast bow to this midnight forest,
And sink for this twilight dust.
Moonlit leafy clouds run, away
With my frisky sail.
The damp, quick, starlight breeze
Snaps at my bemused figure head.
This is where I long to be.
The water rushes off the cliff witch makes a beautiful waterfall
The water is crystal clear with a pretty hint of blue
At the bottom there lay a long white oval that looks like a crystal ball
As the water hits the bottom it seems to say “boo!”
I jump into the water as my brother screens “Cannonball”
I look harder and the fish grew and grew
I look up and I notice the trees, I notice them all and how tall
But I imagine the things that are beyond the green & blue
The waterfall is so tall
I glide across the water, I feel like I flew
So many things to see, like at the mall
Everything here is beautiful, so true
here comes amazon
here comes amazon
here comes amazon
right down my drive way
jeffery bezos
and all his drivers
speeding down the lanes
doors bells ringing
dogs are barking
that alexa is alright
so say your prayers
that you get your wares
before the porch pirates come tonight
i remember the first time we met
i knew i never had a chance with you
i remember looking into your eyes
they were blue like the atlantic ocean
i remember waking up each day thinking i got to see you
i knew there was something special about you
i remember when we first started talking
i never wanted to stop
i was chained to you
i knew i never had a chance with you
i always liked you
but you never liked me back
The Hospital
I stayed laying down watching the time tik by
A one night thing turned into a 120 hour stay
Feeling like me and my body weren’t on the same page
Laying in the hospital wishing someone could save me from silence
Saying goodbye to friends that visited hurt more than a needle in my arm
Knowing it was only a matter of time before I got to go home
An MRI like a big white machine with a tube that was

Finally packing up the gift and flowers and saying goodbye to the window I looked out of everyday hoping never to see it again
Knowing I was one of the lucky ones even though I didn’t feel like it
Nervous of all the school work I would have to make up but I was happy to leave
As I walked out the hospital doors like a free bird ready to fly back home
Why am I so surprised?
Acting like it was blocks away
Surprises have happened this year
But…
What am I missing?
That you went to someone so quickly?
You didn’t tell me
Or give me subtle clues
I just wish I knew…
When we’d walk through hallways
Brought out like an endless lovely void
When we’d smile to each other
Made me feel like a bright light was in front of me
When we’d look at each other
It felt like I was looking at your good soul
Even though that meant nothing to you
What am I missing?
That you went to someone so quickly
I just wish I knew…
It would’ve saved me on tears
For something that’s worth crying
It would’ve saved me on sadness
For something that’s worth people to ask if I’m okay
Worth something to give up on
What am I missing?
That you went to someone so quickly
I just wish you knew…
How my heart felt when it realized it had to forget about you
How many tears dripped down to my phone screen
How heartbroken I felt as I was wiping my tears
How hard it is for me to hide my sadness from my family
How worthless I feel
I can’t help but wonder
What am I missing?
Bob Ross walks in,
And the fun is about to begin,
His afro bigger than ever,
He pulls a lever,
Showing off his kit,
I think people are even staring at it,
He pulls out a dresser,
And people are being a pester,
He is as tall as a giant
And he has a client
He pulls out some clips,
And he is real hip,
He cuts some hair,
And everyone gave him a stare,
Everyones amazed,
And they glazed,
It was almost as if he was born for this,
He even gave a kiss,
You suddenly see him over there,
With his afro saying hello over there,
But as the day ends,
He brings some friends,
Equality
This word is like a
LION
LASHING
Out at you to some people
but to others it is just common sense
Sometimes you might think wow that girl is weird,
she has bright blue hair !
But why do you think these things?
Is there really a reason?
NO, no there is not .
So instead of judging someone who you might think is
different,
Embrace that wonderful , perfectful person
For who they are !
Me and my friend called an uber.
He came in seconds.
He was driving a white sedan with a broken left blinker
There were scratches all over his car
Showing the grey metal hidden underneath the paint.
“Are you John?’’ we asked
He didn’t respond.
He had dark tinted windows covering his face.
His car had a limo-type front window,
blocking us from seeing him
“Are you John?” we repeated
No response.
“Excuse me sir,” said my friend
He reached through the small window to grab his shoulder
Nobody was there
“Who was driving?” I asked my friend in a panic
“Oh, I get it” said my friend
“You can’t see me,” said John
And then I got it, he was
JOHN CENA!
But I still aint cena thing to this day
As I steal the ball from the point guard I know I am going to score
The crowd roars like lions
I go up hard but them
Slam
Boom
Crash
I am lying on the slippery floor
I make the choice that I need to get up
Freethrow 1, FreeThrow 2
As the other team takes the ball back
Stolen again by me
I race to the basket but then
BOOM
Again I am Shoved down
This time I fly
Very very high
Then
C
R
A
S
H
This time I feel my wrist
It feels numb and its shivering
But I get up again
The ball stolen by me again
I go up for the layup
Then
boom
I get hit harder then ever and then
C
R
A
