My Crazy Life

I was selling some shells while taking a Stroll
when I Found lots of gold
but there was a very, very Sick troll
So I Got a cold

also I was in the state of Oklahoma
with my Mom
When I got my Diploma
So I Told my friend tom

And once I was listening to A song
While I was eating Hot sauce
In the car Like a pig But the song was long
so I put on Lip Gloss

That Was quick
so I will Wack my self with a stick

CHRISTMAS eve

CHRISTMAS eve
CHRISTMAS eve
the hardest night to fall asleep all year
but you must believe
if not SANTA won’t be near

you might try to creep like a mouse
all the way through your DECORATED hall
but don’t move or make a peep in your house
if you do the man might not come at all

SANTA is his name and delivering PRESENTS is his game
he delivers to good girls and boys
and has lots of fame
the man gives tons of TOYS

So DECK THE HALLS WITH HOLLY
and stay nice to this man
he is so JOLLY
your GIFTS for CHRISTMAS are in his hands

My family is like a car…

My family is like a car, not new, not old.
But we aren’t too quiet, and never too bold.
We aren’t too smooth, like a supercar or jet,
But we aren’t too old, like an ugly Chevy or Corvette.

Though my mom is like the wheels, that drive us all,
My dad like the engine, either on or off.
My brother like the air conditioner, likes to keep the flow going,
My sister like the air freshener, which you can do without, but would really enjoy to have.

And me like the seatbelt,
That holds us all in place.

My Harp

I sit here
Hugging my harp
As her silent words fill the room.
Others look
And see a hollow nothingness
Inside her,
But I see
The path where imagination walks.

She may be
Scratched up and dented,
But I can see past
All that
Deep inside
Where music waits
To be played.

As I sit here
Hugging my harp,
I feel cozy
Even though the wood is cold as ice.
The teacher talks,
The students chatter,
But all I hear
Is the beautiful silent words
of my harp.

Shooting Stars

I am covered by darkness
quick flash of light swam across the night
bright bright stars

oh, how beautiful these stars
the stars create a light in the darkness
the stars are like a lamp in the night

when no more light is shown at night
I hope to find shooting stars
a star that will end the darkness

a star that will take over all darkness

Where Im from

I am from TV
From fabuloso and dove hand soap
I am from the small looking house on the corner of a street that smells like fall fell from heaven
I am from the poinsettias in my window
The rose bush in my front yard
Whose sticks I stepped on stabbed my foot
I’m from late nights on christmas eve and “who can hold their breath the longest?”
From Jack and Emily
I’m from biting nails and yelling
And from consequences for talking back
I am from don’t suck your thumb or your teeth will fall out and leave me alone i’m playing my games
And your worth it
I’m from ham on thanksgiving

I’m from Minnesota
And from saying what we are thankful for on thanksgiving
I’m from hey buddha belly and I wanna squeeze you in two pieces
I’m from Emily Ann Parsons

Makeup

Makeup covers up the imperfections

But sometimes that is not enough

Makeup can make you look beautiful ,

But it will never help you find true love

Scars will show
Eyes will stare

Makeup helps but scars always stay there..

Backflip

I’m nervous with my knees bent hearing the crowd of my
friends chanting
“Tayveon , Tayveon.”
I feel my blood rushing through my arms

The wind starts to blow and I get goosebumps.
I had to take off my jacket and my shoes because they were
uncomfortable and i’ve never done a backflip with them on

One of my friends yelled “hurry up.” I do a test to warm up by bending my back. I think to myself that I’m ready. My feet lift off the floor and it was probably the longest
2 seconds of my life

As I flip back I can see the bare tree in this wintertime
Once I landed every person screamed and it kinda hurt my ears

I Did A Backflip

Evil

To many
An unspeakable horror
Taking
Never returning
Dark stealing Light
To some
A get away
A place to go
To be fully, truly free
Finding Light Through Dark
EVIL

I love you

Have you ever felt love? Like you were just so happy to see that one person? When you feel like everything is just so right, but then..one day everything changes. They refuse to speak to you and you are left feeling useless as if everything is your fault and you are so clueless as of what you did wrong. The moment you hear “I gave up on you” your heart stops. You couldn’t believe it you try to win them back but all you can say is “I love you” because in your heart all you can feel is the hurt you see that everyone is happy but you and all you can remember is them telling you “I will never let you go, I love you so much we will be together forever” you sit there and you stare and you cry and cry every tear that comes down is a memory that had you in love. The moment you realize it was never you that lacked in love it was them they failed to say I love you they failed to be by your side and have your back and just know I love you is when you feel it and you mean it. I love you is no just words those words have the power to make you or break you.
