your vision, your voice
Splat! Splat! The clouds began to cry
The thunder clapped loudly across the sky
The street lights flickered, the lighting struck
The pizza delivery man quickly took off on his bike
The wind whistled loudly through the trees
The waves grew stronger in the sea
The clouds grew dark
The kids played in the rain at the park
Slowly, the storm calmed down
The sun came up, lighted up the town
There wasn’t a single cloud in sight
Now the town can live peacefully without being frighten
I start in a dark space
Look to the left
Then to the right
I wonder where I am
Just as I opened my mouth to speak
Stars appear above me
5 stars
15 stars
50 stars
100 stars
1000 stars
Soon they fill all of the darkness
Even when i look down
I seem to be floating
There are stars everywhere
The next thing that I know
The stars begin to produce a bright light
I blink one and I and in a forest
Full of many different greens
From flowers
To trees
To thousands of different animals
Crowding around me
I go to pet one
My hand making its way towards the little deer
Just when my hand lightly touched the deer’s head
CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP
The innocent deer turned into a monster
I looked around as all of the other animals turned too
Like a magic spell being casted upon them
Faces melting
Teeth growing
Like in a horror movie
They all stood there
Staring as their eyes all fell
They lunged forward
Trapping me underneath
I start to suffocate
Lions eating its prey
That’s what they are
Just as they were about to start another wave
I jolt up in a cold sweat
Breathing heavily
Like it would be my last
I look over at the lighted lilac alarm clock
Laying just beside my bed
4:37 it read
I sigh
Rolling over back onto my side
Not wanting to go back inside my mind
Just a dream i thought
It was all just a dream
Enclosed in these walls
Thinking all day,
Sometimes chiseling away
And being funny can get you taken away.
Still enclosed in these walls
Having to learn all day,
Can make you feel like your in…
Another place
A place to contemplate
Whether to flee or stay.
Having these thoughts all day
making it feel like
life is more than just one day.
While still thinking
is it worth it to stay?
Or should I just run,
from the guards, you run
miles away to a place…
a place far away.
Then it turns out its just a dream,
and having to walk to school
for another long day.
While scratching your head and
thinking away.
Life
hasn’t
been easy,
I say from
good moments to bad
I have always been up
And down I say, no stopping
now, so I tell you keep on climbing
I say, don’t let that valley get you down
keep strong, don’t let life keep you down, I’ve
been there and that valley of yours can’t keep you
there forever so I just tell you
never
MOUNTAIN
ever a
like
give is
Life
up.
I take one step outside.
Cars honking and chatters flood my ears.
A breeze of crisp air brushes against my hair.
Some pigeons in the air appear.
I walk down the steep hill.
I hear my shoes click on the ground as I walk.
I open a door to hear a bell.
I can barely hear myself thinking while everyone talks.
The smell of fresh coffee beans fill my lungs.
I order “May I have a sweetened iced coffee please?”
The coffee’s bittersweet flavor wakes me up.
I look around me some people are eating scones and drinking tea.
I sit at my table while doodling and drinking my coffee.
With my headphones plugged in, my ears only hearing pop.
I forget about all the bad things.
Because I’m in my little coffee shop.
Bella is like a big cozy blanket.
Fluffy, loving Blanket is laying over me and sleeping. When Blanket wakes up, the furry
creature suddenly lays on my face and want to play hide and seek.
Bella is like a big cozy blanket.
Big, friendly Blanket laying
on the floor in the kitchen eating its food.
Suddenly the heavy creature lays over me and licking
And licking.
Bella is like a big cozy blanket.
The furry warm Blanket is laying
in the bathtub and are getting scratched behind the ears. Suddenly Blanket stands up and shaking the water off. Woof!
Then Blanket jumps out of the bathtub and walks to Blanket’s bed.
I followed.
Blanket is sleeping.
When I was little I always kept stumbling on words.
Then one day I had to take a special test,
And It felt like it took 10 HOURS.
But then one day parents came up to me and said I had dyslexia.
And that changed everything for me.
So from there on I had to take this class once a day with other students like me.
It was fun,
but embarrassing. I was the only one in my class that went.
So when I got up to leave everyone would stare at me like I had a third eye.
Then as I got older I had to take a slightly different test then everyone else.
That got on my nerves so much…everyone would just stare and stare and STARE!
But as I got older I didn’t really care what people thought of me.
Because I was just me.
Then I realized we all have difficulty with something in life.
So no matter what others think…you should
Always
Be
YOU!
I was flying,
In a plane above japan
Shooting down other planes,
Then suddenly
There he was,
Somehow riding on a plane
I looked into the pilot area
I saw no one there,
He was shooting down planes
I was in shock!
Using his claws slashing through planes like a pizza cutter cutting a pepperoni pizza
Has a spiky tail like knives slicing through the planes
Then he looked at me,
And gave me a thumbs up
I gave him one too right back at him
Then he flew off
Who knew Godzilla could fly a plane.
THE DRAIN is a memory,
I am ready to pitch the baseball,
I aim right for the glove,
I come set.
My mom says, “right down the middle Bran,”
I lift my leg and throw the ball,
I release too early,
the ball goes flying way over my mom’s head,
the ball hops and jumps down the street,
It “bangs” off the curb and keeps rolling,
We yell, “no!”
The ball rolls into THE DRAIN,
my mom looks at me and sighs, “go get another one,”
and we do it all over again.
A hope and a wish,
the dying desire,
of just a
Vision,
Just a flurry
Of a view
Of our screwed up
Made up
Fake of real currency
Fat, tall stacks from floor to ceiling.
Spit out across the hall, the drawers, across the walls.
And whatever happened to gold and silver?
Not this fraudulent trash you lay out in front of me.
Real worth, hard work, and yet fake value,
It’s just paper, paper, and ink
Controls our lives, yeah thanks government.
For messing up
This country we live in
What the heck is life for
If our worth is determined
By numbers.
Yeah, it all comes down to numbers
And facing the facts,
Yeah, facts.
Those are kinda important.
Forget about facts, hmm world we live in?
Forget about the lives that you’re destroying?
The people, the ones that you pretend to invest in?
The victims.
The worth of ones
that you,
the leeches,
decide to suck up?
How does that play out?
And in our FAVOR?!
Yeah no,
I think not.
Who do you think you’re kidding?
You may be fooling them
The others
the ones without a sense of your doing,
But we, the people,
(the smart ones at least)
who choose to resist
To take a risk
To raise our voices,
Say
“Let’s end this madness. This stupid system,
that we’re forced through, yes violently forced. And we, the people, who are supposed to decide what this country is doing? But how, with all these empty promises, empty words? This human, this idiotic human is put above the rest of us who never got a chance? And just how is that fair, hmm? Yeah, I didn’t think so.”
You say it’s a democracy, but not for me.
You say we’re all even but that will never come to be.
No, we’ll never be even,
Just look at the facts.
The numbers and the stats everyone pretends to forget
The life that we’re leading
Never meant anything.
How can it if the numbers are all that you see?
Not the person,
but the value put upon them.
And by who you may be wondering,
Just ask the numbers.
