Now she’s the no one talks to anymore.
She’s by herself now,
She knows it too.
But that’s the reason she still stands.
The world, it’s something that changes you in many ways.
The only person that can see the change is you,
Or is it?

“The Sky”
The sky is like a blank canvas
Paint it whatever color you want
It still looks like a sky
Blue, black, grey maybe even green
The sky can become any color it decides to be
And the prettiest colors of all,
Are the the colors the sky turns when the sun sets
Pink, red, yellow, orange
No matter what color it may be
It still looks like a sky to me
On a rainy day,
On a sunny day,
On a sad day,
On a happy day,
A sky is still a sky no matter the appearance,
or what other people might say.

“Morning”
The morning isn’t quite hell
Suffering, pain, a daily struggle
But quite definitely not hot!
An eerie, steady chilling breath
Constantly stuck to the back of my neck
It is a daily labor
I am submitted to it
Unconditional punishment
Looming menacingly over me
Is the fact that this will continue
For the remainder of my life
Hard, physical work
To yank the ropes and pull out a wall
It is moving mountains
To yank myself out of bed
Away from the seductive venom drug of sleep
But then it is a mental challenge
My eyelids scream to me to be shut them
A desperate attempt to block light’s reality
Marching through my house
I justgot up... dontbother me
Yes
homework is done...
I can’t think about that now
I can’t even speak
Victory day! I savor her sweet venom
Saturday! I suck sweet sleep
Delight my mind, seemingly eternal calm

The sun rose not even thinking,
just like a blue whale searching for a feeding ground,
when the whale reaches it, it’s ecstatic,
like the man who won the lottery,
What do you do after you have succeeded?
You’re done with life, but some human instinct wants you to go,
to look further, to get more out of life,
Humans have been moving for thousands of years,
discovering new frontiers,
even to this day, as we explore space,
we are expanding boundaries,
What happens when we reach the end of the world?
When we have explored all the frontiers and colonized all the planets?
We will keep pushing on without even knowing,
like the sun rising instinctively,
the whale will push on to feed her baby,
through the pain the mother will fight,
she’ll rise to the occasion and explore for the benefit of her baby,
when the light recedes and the mother is shrouded in sand,
the world stops and sheds a tear,
when the sun sets the man in the hotel gazes out,
the whale, just another life fallen to the world we love is forgotten,
many will never be revived to see the humans pushing on.

Hair the color of lions fur
Eyes green like a grape
Freckles like stars on a flag
Only three of a trillion things that make you beautiful
Your obsession for pinkberry
Working out with biggest loser
And getting mad when I hug you at school
Things that confuse me but make me laugh
Thank you for laughing at my weird jokes
Dealing with my "difficult" friends
And for dealing with my imperfections
I know there's a lot
I hope that I don't annoy you to much
I hope we go to pinkberry more
And I hope I relieve you from stress
But most of all
I hope you always stay mine

A castle that stands high in clouds.
On a mountain
where birds fly high
and the winds blow free,
sending big gust on your face.
The clouds float gently over your head
and over the mountain.
The kids in the valley below feed the fish in
the gigantic lake.
The barn and the bottom of the valley
stands filled with people
looking at the horses.
The other horses that are not in the barn
run freely in the grass,
some have people on their back,
others just wandering.
The final part is mansion
that sits on the peak of the mountain,
it stands there like a crown on top of a head,
it stands there lonely
while the clouds floating gently over it.

A girl of courage is all I see,
Her strength is the power that she needs,
The pain she feels won't bring her down,
'Cause I know she will succeed;
A girl of strength is all I see,
Her superhero helps her breathe,
The fear she feels will soon decrease,
'Cause I know she will succeed;
A girl of confidence is all I see,
Her stage fright takes the fall,
The shame she feels has disappeared,
'Cause I know she will succeed;
A girl of power is all I see,
Her chances will soon be here,
The tears she feels have gone away,
'Cause I know she will succeed;
A girl of bravery is all I see,
Her butterfly will never die,
The name keeps her alive,
'Cause I know she will succeed.

School is a jail,
But we didn't do
Anything bad
To get in it.
It's more by force.
The food is some trash,
Teachers are the police guards,
Students are the prisoners,
And classes are our jail cells,
Lunch is our "free time".
When it's over
We're released,
and tomorrow
We're brought back.
We're free
After we finish 12th grade,
And start to get
Locked up in pre-K.
We all hate it
But we have to come.
That's why school
Is like jail.

I remember the day of moonlight
That was brought upon us
Which brought us closer
That read deeply into our souls
You said you'd be here with me
Always and forever.
I left for a second
And know you're nowhere to be found
So i'm here without you baby.
You came back to me
A million years later
Where i spent most of my days crying
Like an aba
ndoned butterfly without wings
Not being able to fly away
And not being able to be free.
My love for you was big
Bigger than this universe,
But now my love for you despicable
I thought you were the one,
But I guess not.
I'm falling Apart
And my tears run down
Like razor blades.
I've learned the hard way
That you're not Worth my time ,
And one day i'll prevail
To rise and shine
Until then you're an unknown factor in my life.

Why do people think that life's so great
All you do work, sleep, eat,
And some things I can’t say.
Maybe its the memory that everyone loves?
Or maybe it’s when they find that special someone,
Hahahaha sorry not everyone can find that;
The only things they would have are 72 cats named fluffy
What about the adventure people have?
No, can’t be that they’ll only see it in a second. I don’t know why
People don’t notice this but in life every second counts
People wait till the last minute or do something
While they're young but in a second there gone in a flash before
You’re eyes. Don’t ruin your life because in a second it can be
all gone.

Water thank you for taking my thirst away
Only your refreshing taste can save my life
You appear in most exotic places
Hydrogen and oxygen are your parents
Thanks to you we don't have to worry about sunny days
My taste buds love your extravagant taste
My stomach screams for joy to get you
My body feels energized when you are here
Dirt feels joy when it turns to mud
Flowers bloom when they taste water
Alien’s cry because they can't drink water
Water, thank you for being here to refresh me,
Without you my world would be tasteless, like poor aliens.

Soccer is what I play
I would make it my job if I could
Hunting for the trophies
Crushing your opponents
And laughing at them
make you happy.
As I stand on a muddy field
I hear a cheering crowd
But the only thing I notice
Is the voice of an annoying coach
Who yells at me during our game.
So the ball is at my feet
But the clock yells:
"You need to hurry"
I challenge my opponent
I have to be quick
I dribble up the side of the field
Cut the ball in, cross
And Goooaall!
I made my coach so proud.

“A Morning”
I wake up in the morning
With the sun
Shining on my face.
I hear the birds
Chirping
Their tunes
as they wait to be fed.
Then I open my window
To feel the sharp wind
Of January.
I see everyone walking
With their coats
And sweaters.
Everyone is busy
With their lives.
Adults with jobs
And kids with school.
The cars all line up
On the streets
Creating everyone’s
First problem
Of the day
Traffic.
Even after
The first problem
Many more
Are sure to come.
But today
I am free
From all these problems.
I am free
To just enjoy
The time.
Because today
I am just going to stay at home.

“Dreams”
As the sun shines in my face
I am dying under the moonlight
which is burning my soul.
If I open my eyes I will be in heaven,
if I keep them closed I can dream.
Heaven might be perfect
but I won't be able to dream.
In my dreams anything is possible.
I am in control,
I will make it perfect.
I can see green fields
filled with apple blossoms
far as the eye can see.
Hearing the laughter of children in the air,
Being able to hear the waterfall
out in the distance;
as it starts to rain
making the rainbow disappear.
I am glad I choose dream.
this is my world,
I am in control,
it is perfect.

“The Almighty Queen”
She does what she wants without restrictions.
She creates and destroys, nothing in her way.
Tornadoes, the vacuums she uses to clean up our mess.
Volcanoes, the science experiments she makes.
Earthquakes whenever she slams a door.
Hurricanes, her breathing exercises.
Thunderstorms when she cries.
She is just like we are.
All her emotions,
Expressed in a variety.
All the bad ones,
Thrown straight at us,
And we can’t move anywhere else.
She has a never-ending reign.
Nothing can stop her,
Nothing gets in her way.
She always gets what she wants,
No matter what it takes.
She is the everlasting queen of this world.
And her name is, Mother Nature

Everywhere in the world clocks tick
From Big Ben to the one on your mantel
Humans are constantly looking at the time
Always rushing, never waiting
Worrying about where you have to be and when
Why is it so important?
The dog laying in front of the fire
Does not care
At what time of day he is fed
Just as long as he is
The fish in the bowl
Spend its days swimming
In a circle
Forgetting things every three seconds
Why is it that humans are
The only ones who care
What time of day it is
We are the only ones afraid of time running out
Fighting the end of our days
Until our last breath
What if you had the chance to live forever
Would you take it?
Would you be able to stare eternity in the face
Knowing that
You're all you have left
Could you watch everyone
you love
Grow up, grow old
Watch them live
And not be able to participate yourself
To forever be a bystander
The moment when time
Is trivial
You are lost
To me
Death is preferable to
Forever

The sun, warm and majestic.
Your hair tingles and shivers as you look at the spectacular star.
T
hen suddenly, one drop of sweat slowly flows through your bright red cheeks.
You love this feeling.
The rays shine hard on your brown curly hair.
But then a Nuclear bomb blocks out the sun.
The sun's orange rays disappear.
The back of your hair coil up.
The warmth quickly turns to a cold, bitter, and nipping weather.
The one drop of sweat freezes.
The feeling has disappeared right from your gasp.
You miss this feeling.
The feeling misses you.
