they come from the depth
where no one has been
they say they are tenth
but that was a lie
we all know what they are
and we all know why
everyone who goes down there doesn’t survive
they will chop both your hands off
they will eat you alive
they are very very mean
but if you go down there
good luck to you
while they may be mean
sometimes they are forgiving

call the janitor squad
there’s a big mess in the 600 hall
you can hear them coming
from a mile away
and when you hear them
don’t be scared
the bats nor the TRASHcans will do harm
they will always know what you call next
because the TRASHtros cheat
they know it all
so just know
if there are loud bangs in your hallway
BANG BANG BANG
it’s the TRASHtros
the trashcan is where they belong

8:00 am
They drugged me
Until i was fake smiling.
Then all of my thoughts
Just kept on piling.

10:00 am
I told them “I need help”
They didn’t listen.
All of my dark thoughts
Started to glisten .

12:00 pm
Food comes out on trays
Looks all fancy.
The chance of us getting sick
Is unchancy.

2:00 pm
Group therapy begins
A kid starts to act up.
Staff puts on their gloves
What they do next is messed up.

4:00pm
Time to go outside
Get some fresh air.
“Look, a squirrel!’
Seeing one is quite rare.

6:00pm
Time to take a shower
And swallow more meds
Time to snack
Before heading to bed

8:00pm
“Lights Out” they say
Time to start dreaming.
For 8 more days this schedule
Would be repeating.

A girl who wanted to find her inner purpose
Asked her father
What is does it mean to look within myself?
And how will I find truth and guidance?
Listen my child, says the father
If you want to know your true value,
Let it go
Let go of the life where you were chasing a mirage
Let go of everything you think you are
Let go of your old self
And replace it with your new one
Let your new life help you become
of what you were meant to be
Listen to the inner voice
Relay on your own guidance
Follow your heart
This, the father says, is how you’ll look within yourself

A tasty magical world
Where the mountains are curled
To look like ice-cream
It may feel like a dream
But what’s a tasty magical world without tasty treats?
Have you seen the streets?
They’re made of licorice!
But try not to be lickerish
And share some with others
There are no trees, just lollipops that vary in colors
The clouds are made of cotton candy
And the ground is made of taffy
The buildings are made of thick gingerbread
And the flowers are made of gum that looks cherry red
Oh, what a tasty magical world!

Who am I?
I am a girl with a dream,
a dream to achieve.
A girl who always beams,
because she always believes.
Who am I?
I am a girl with a big heart,
a heart full of love.
A girl whose kindness never departs,
because she is as sweet as a dove.
Who am I?
I am a girl with creativity,
creativity with my imagination.
A girl who shows no negativity,
just the spark of creation.

The nervous rabbit
has a little habit
where he checks his pocket watch,
pulls out his butterscotch,
nibbles it worriedly,
and wonders if he needs therapy
He goes to his doctor for advice
and in return gets a breathing device
But sadly, it didn’t help him,
which made him feel very grim
So, he decides to drink some chamomile tea
And then finally he was free
From his nervous strain
and it had helped his brain

Hope is the feeling that comes when you know you can do it
If you work hard to follow your dreams, then you have grit
Don’t give up
Choose a goal you want to start-up
Follow and achieve that goal
As you do it, follow your role
Your role to help others to not fail
Make not only your confidence but other’s confidence unveil

It’s hard to be brave
Of things you fear
Like darkness in a cave
And the strange sounds you’d hear
Like the face of a crazy clown
And it’s laughter
Like being alone in a spooky ghost town
And knowing it’s you a ghost is going after
Like fearing drowning or heights
Or losing something you love
You will get nightmares during nights
But it is the fear you must get rid of
It takes time
To face your nightmares
But soon you’ll forget about it anytime
And as you face it, your eyes won’t be filled with tears
It will be filled with confidence
Because you know that you can fight

Fairytale land
Where the stories from books come true
It is an island
That is like a zoo
With witches, leprechauns, and fairies
With talking animals, princesses, and more
Everyone on the island is quite merry
And there is never the feeling of bore
But be careful of the potions you take
They might be poison like Snow White’s apple
Be wise of the choices you make
Or you’ll end up in a mess like the evil witch for example
