Seasons Inside Me

I am FULL of seasons
Too much to hold in
The sun smiles down on me
The sun beating me
Once was fun, now replaced with none

As the leaves f , I lose brain cells
a
l
l
The time I have dreaded has been called upon
“Did I read my summer book?”,”I forgot my supplies!”
The leaves bunchup
I can’t hold on
The rake grasps on
But it is too late
The wind b l o w s
As I let go

From green to brown
Stress to laziness
Joyful to dull
Autumn has passed…

…Sorrow and melancholy
Hanging from the dead trees with frigid grips
Confusion swirls and mixes with the icy wind
Hide the sun
Unexpected

s
n
o
w
Carried unexpected tests and projects
The bird awaits
For a new year

Flowers sway and trees dance
My heartbeat pumps, boom-boom boom-boom
The sun lifts happiness
Green springs up
Like excitement
The advent of birds with their sweet chirps
The voice inside provokes my reality
Blankets of mosquito bites
The itch is always nagging
Waiting for the STAAR tests

Once these seasons are over
Appreciation takes control
But they may cycle,
cycle, cycle,
cycle,

I am full of seasons.

Hairdresser

“Hi, how are you today?”
“Don’t talk to me”
“Excuse Me?”
The hairdresser was
As mad as a bear.

The hairdresser sat
The customer down.
“What would you like today?”
“Just bleach my hair Idiot”.
“HEY, DON’T EVER TALK TO ME LIKE THAT”.

The customer rolls her eyes and says,
“ Your wearing a hat and sunglasses,
“What are you gonna do?”
The hairdresser takes off the hat and sunglasses.
The customer realizes, “OMG YOU WERE MY SCIENCE TEACHER,
MR. KAGAN”.
“And I thought I taught you well”.

Fight on the Field!

We line up at the line of scrimmage staring into the other opposing wall’s eyes like lasers
HIKE yells the qb
we take off in an instant shooting past the line
find the rb
go in for the kill
boom a block from the back
a foul!
An attack!
But I get back up
find the target
finding the weak spot then boom!
He falls to the ground
play’s over then starts another round.
I am a beast that cannot be tamed
when I’m on fire i’m never the same,
a fake to the left
a fake to the right
but it doesn’t matter because he’s in my sight
like a 747
I take him down.
The field my motivation
fueling me like a station
4th down
end of the round.
Then see my parents smiling from the crowd!

I feel uneasy.

I almost never HEAR THEM anymore,
No MORE CREAKING and shaking
No more slamming of my door,
Only vents shaking and my house quaking.
I never hear anymore “SHHHHH”,
I never hear THEY’RE BREATHING.
I never have the delusion of light streaming through my windows.
No more slowly closing the door and turning on the lights
Honestly….
I’m not sure if it’s really over,
Last night I felt very uneasy, sweat flowing down my spine.
Eyes darting back and forth, to the door, no the window, is HE there, IS he HERE?
Seeing lights not there but not here nor there, But always beckoning for me to OPEN THE WINDOW
I’m not sure if THE SCUTTLING UNDER MY BED IS REAL or not,
THEY ARE nowhere family is EVERYWHERE.
THEY AREN’T REAL at all,
IF I STOP BELIEVING IN THEM THEY CAN’t GET ME.
I’M not IN DANGER….
I’m not sure if the therapist believes me,
THEY ARE only INSIDE my house-imagination,
I’m sure They’re not breaking My door-mind,
All I’m sure of Is I’m Not-Safe,
No bad thoughts I’m only feeling uneasy.

Performance

The room is cold.
My head aches
From the slicked back bun.
But i’ve been ready for my whole life
To perform.

We walk onto stage,
Me and my team,
Into the pitch black darkness.
My bare feet against the smooth black floor.
I find my starting position.

My headache and goosebumps
Are soon replaced
With a rush of adrenaline
As I hear the song
And do the dance
I know so well.

My eyes burn
From the glow of the stage lights.
The music loudly beats
In my head.

As the song comes to an end
I hold my body still.
Hearing nothing but my own breath.
Then the crowd applauds
And the lights go out.

My soft foot steps
Carry me off the stage.
I run through backstage

And I hear the next song begin.

Life in the ocean

I love going to the ocean.
So much the sand feels so hot because of the sun
Splash I jump into the waves.

While I was getting up I got pushed down by the waves
It felt like somebody pushed me down I got up and I saw a jelly fish in the ocean.
I went to sit down in front of the sun.

I was sitting down for so long it felt like the sun
was on my back. I got up and ran into the waves.
Splash the water is so cold in the ocean.

Splash I here in the ocean because of the waves I can see the sunlight from the sun on the top of the salty water.

Oak Tree

You look at your watch
thinking its too late
and sprint to the hospital
hoping for a clean slate

You walk into room 93
it seems you didn’t run fast enough

because what you see
is your grandfather has past
The monitor is flat

Now all thats left is only a seed
that will grow up to be
A strong and beautiful
Oak tree

my dog

My little tiny white dog when we
got he she looked like a rat,

My puppy was running,jumping,
peeing everywhere she is so energetic,

My puppy is now one she is softer than a pillow
She is so fluffy.

My puppy’s eyes are 2 clean diamonds staring at you,
She is fluffy as a soft blanket,

One time outside she was skittering in a bush and,
we thought she was a rat,

Her fur is like a bowl of milk, with 2 drops of energy
Drink because she is so energetic.

My dog just runs,gets dirty so we wash her,blow dry her fur
So she becomes so fluffy,

My dog is energetic,
so when we try to wash her she shakes,wiggles,

When my dog turns 2 my mom said “she will not call her a rat anymore”.

School

Most people hate,
But I Love
As much as they
Love breaks!

I like to read,and do
math , they like to sit on their
Phones all day long
When I sit and work they sit
And talk for hours and hours
You can hear the clock
Going Tick,Tock

School is my happy place
Where I study hard, and be with
My friends
