You bark, you play
you sit by the hay
you leave our ear drums ringing
while you keep on singing
You’ll eat and sleep and play once more
before we go on you must not know
that you aren’t a human though.

It’s dinner time I run downstairs,
I saw some yummy-looking pears
The sound they make inside your mouth
It makes me feel like I’m down south.
I finished dinner and started homework;
My dad looked at me and smirked
He said, “it’s time for bed sweetie.”
I said, “Oh your so cheeky.”
I grab my ice cream and plop on the couch,
Watching youtube put me down
I was so tired I barely awoke.
Walked into the bedroom and brushed my teeth
I grabbed the lotion from under beneath
Ran up the stairs and to my room,
Jumped into bed and kaboom
I layed in bed and drifted off;
Luckily I didn’t know that I had to cough.

After a busy night, he feels tight;
Because it’s best in his bed,
He can’t stop until twilight.
Hugging his Heddy Ted,
He is becoming lighter.
He just, maybe, might
doze off into oblivion;
In the weird world of
subconsciousness.
His mind tears in
the dreams.
Away from
the mess
of today.
Without
a care
in the
earth.

Near the T.V,
under the hearth,
with the warm fire,
Wilma sleeps,
she curls her tail
around carefully,
as if,
it protects her,
while she rests.

She finds her spot
licks her paws
stares at the walls
meows and yawns
lies down
finds her peace
goes to sleep

I was feeling full
With a bad stomach ache.
Of course my dad
It made me eat more dessert
Usually, he hates it
When I have dessert.
My stomach went into an even and deeper
Pain than it already was.

I went to the bathroom and
I was in so much pain, I even
Tried to throw up.
Nothing was seeming
To even come close to working.
After, we got up
I threw up instantly
Dark chocolate.

My stomach instantly felt
Relief but I saw super
slick slimy layers of chocolate
Shaded from light to
Dark brown.

It smelled like a dry
Desert but it looked
Like a volcano of chocolate.
Embarrassment showed as I
I hoped everyone wasn’t watching I realized my
Mom’s best friend was there.
She was my favorite at the time.
I hope I don’t cry.
I thought to myself.
Luckily I didn’t but I ended
Up exiting with a bad taste
In my mouth.

You shut down,
my ideas,
me
overthink everything
doubt all
but no
this time you won’t shut me up
I’ll fight and fight
then I notice my place
down in your vase
Helplessly lost
I
am
quiet
Cause you can’t talk
when no one cares
when no one is there to listen.
Cause when you drown in sorrow…
there is no tomorrow.

When you lie helplessly
Your
d
r
o
w
n
I
n
g
Deeper and deeper
Corruption
For it corrupts you
till all is l o s t
Fight it
take out the pain
and fight back
then go back to reality
and learn
you
can’t
win.

There
There I sit
His smooth skin, and dark brown hair a mile away
A mile
Walk
Inch closer with every little lie
And farther with every truth…
“I don’t have a dad, it’s really hard.”
Till
It
Went
To
Far
Only an inch away
His warm breath against mine
Walk after walk
Talk after talk
Until I couldnt take it
His smooth baby skin near mine
I push
And drown
Deeper
Deeper
deeper
The ones I have wronged
Have lost faith…
The ones I left behind
Hurt the most…
The nicest ones
Have bruises
No
I am not t h i s p e r s o n
And I risk it
I let it all go all the lies

How the flower are so bright
They can always catch my sight
The smell make dream
The flowers always gleam

The weather sky make them fly
With wind making say bye
They fly deep far away from me
So that doesn’t make me happy
