Rollercoaster
Life to me is exactly like a rollercoaster
One day you wake up and all you want
To do is lay down on the couch in your
Light blue sweatshirt and your black sweats
The next day you wake up and you get all
Dressed up in your purple dress and you,
Cover your shoulders with your jean jacket
Life can throw so many lemons at you:
And you have to be ready to catch the
Lemons that are being thrown at you.
Another Day
After Brenda Hillman’s “1951”
As you get older birthdays are not as exciting
As when you are a little kid as you get older
Your birthday just becomes another day
Yes the thought of your number going up
Every time your birthday rolls around can
Feel scary because you can’t stay young forever
All though as you get older there are things
That you are going to end up doing in your life
To look forward to as you are becoming an adult
I have learned that you cannot fear to move into
Your future you just have to keep on praying that
There is a heavy angle trying to lead you into
The right direction and not lead you into the
Wrong direction because some decisions that you
Make you unfortunately cannot walk away from
The Dark Cloud
After Zobo Bunga’s “The Bridge Flows The Water Does Not Flow”
For some of us it takes years to find
what truly makes us content in our lives.
Sometimes when we are having a bad day,
a dark cloud randomly hangs
over our heads. At any moment it can start
to rain, and our clothes get wet.
When you find what truly makes you
happy, you will look up
and the dark cloud that you saw
hovering over your head
will no longer be there.
Now that you are content.
Snow Globe
As me and you were slowly driving in
The car when I looked out of the window
All that I was able to see was the powered
Snow that was starting to fall to the ground
As we were driving back home the end of
Our street reminded me of a snow globe
When I was watching the snow fall onto
The ground I felt nothing but calmness on
The inside because seeing the snow fall
helped me erase all of my bad memories
Live In Dreams Not Reality
Whenever you are dealing with reality
Sometimes it can be a hand full at times,
Whenever I find myself dealing with
Reality constantly I like to do this thing
Where I only live in dreams not reality
When you deal with reality all the time
Sometimes it can feel like reality is the
Only thing that you are juggling in life
I just want people to know that no matter
What at the end everything will be okay.
Miracle
I have been praying for a miracle
To happen to me but then one day
I had realized that you being in my
Life and loving me is a miracle itself
I know that it took me some time to
Notice the importance that you have
Brought into my life but at the end of
The day all that truly matters is that
I did realize the kind of impact that
You had on me as a child growing up
Christmas Time
It is about that time of year when
Your family goes to the Christmas tree
Farm to go pick out the perfect Christmas
Tree to bring home so you can decorate the
Tree right by the cozy fire place in the living
Room and drink a nice warm hot chocolate.
Christmas Time is not only a time for celebration
But Christmas brings people a lot of happiness.
Christmas time is a time to be happy and you
Should absolutely not feel the feeling of stress.
Change His Mind
Even though it has been a decade
Since we last had out huge argument
I have come to conclusion that I,
Unfortunately, cannot make you
Change your mind on how you
Currently feel about me and you.
Even though I would love to be able
To change his mind, I know that I am
Not able to do that; I have to move
Forward and find happiness again.
Make It Count
Even though I know that I have my
Own struggle that I am dealing with,
This is my last year of high school.
I have to make it count because after
Senior year, that is it. I don’t have another
Chance at senior year all over again.
I know that deep down inside I am
Very proud of myself for what I have
Accomplished and that I am going to
Do amazing things when I go to college.
Sweet But Bitter
I know that through all of the times
That me and you have spent together
I noticed that sometimes you can show
Sides to you that you are very sweet
And other times you can show the side
Of bitterness when you are in a mood,
Even though you were sweet but bitter
I knew that you cared about me at the
End of the day and that Is all that mattered
To me because our connection was special.
Love Poem
We were taking a late midnight drive
When I got the courage to ask you if
You could hand me your notepad that
Was in the glovebox so that way I could
Write down our love poem that me and
You have made together as we took our
Late night drive I ripped out a piece of
Paper from the inside of your notepad
So that way I could write down our love
Poem that you and I made together.
Something About You
There is just something about being
In the same room as you always gives
Me a good feeling inside my stomach
I know that there are a lot of people in
My life who makes me feel very happy
But there is just something about you
That makes me feel like I can be myself
Without feeling like you are going to
Judge me I am forever grateful that I am
Able to be a part of your beautiful life
Butterfly
I was causally washing the dishes one
Afternoon when all of the sudden I saw
A beautiful butterfly that flew right by
Our shattered glass window in the kitchen,
Seeing the butterfly made me feel
Safe because I knew that it was you,
Who was watching over me and I
Knew that you that you were flying
Around the backyard because that
Was your way of showing me that you
Are the one who has been protecting
Me this whole entire depressing year
Parrot
As we were wrapping up our phone call
You told me I was acting like a parrot
After you called me a parrot you told me
That you were just trying to make a joke
I know that you you were just trying to
Make a joke but the joke was not funny
I hope one day that we all need to rethink
Before we try to hurt each others feelings
As a society we should try to love each other
Instead of becoming enemies with one another
Life Changing Moments
There are current moments that
Happen in my life that I would love
To forget but I know that I will never
Forget the life changing moments that
Happens to me and I know it happens
For a good reason and not a bad reason,
If there is one thing that I have learned
Is to give yourself a little bit of grace
Because no matter what happens to you
At the end of the day you will be alright.
Plastic Bubble
I get so many ignorant comments
Thrown at me on a regular basis and,
Sometimes it is difficult for me to
Catch all the comments in a glass jar
When I feel insecure I try to picture a
Plastic bubble that is surrounding me
Trying to protect me from the bad part
Of the world that we currently all live in
The one thing that I wish for is for all of
Us to act delicate towards one and another.
