I glance into every mirror every chance that I get I’ll say just about anything to be the center of attention I can’t even count how many friends that I have I’ll only eat things that are gluten free and have less than 100 calories I will always refuse ice cream; it’s the devil’s food to me Books are boring and would be the death of me, if I read I can run for hours without end, I love the out-of-breath feeling Dogs gross me out; their slobber is disgusting and unattractive I watch reality TV in every spare second I have Which, is not a lot of spare time, I’m pretty busy partying I enjoy the loud music and throng of strangers On my weeknights, I don’t work; I hang out with my friends We usually go out until ten and then I don’t even do my homework I don’t put anything above myself, not even my family I am the most important person in my book
Standing at a height of five foot three Hair thick and sweet like the honey of a bee Smart as the dog about to run in the road Slippery with words like the skin of a toad Not like the others or even the rest When it comes to school she is always the best She is always around people never shy Buzzes around school with gossip like a fly Eyes as blue as the sky up high Easily bored and even caught with a sigh When you try to talk to her she gives you a stare Then hardens those eyes that no one could bare Never caught the next day in the same sweater If you didn’t know her it would be for the better The life of a teenage girl named Jarah Or even better known by the universe as Sarah.
Her big brown eyes glistened in the sun. Her hair, as deep a blue as the ocean, Swayed back and forth with each passing wind. She was tall, tan and charming, But what hid behind her smiles no one knew. She was a transgender. Formally known as Jake, Katie hid beneath brand name clothing and make up. She had many friends, but not one of them knew; She had been an exchange student from out of the blue. Katie loved anything basic; Starbucks, Uggs, brand name clothing. She fit the description of a typical white girl, With the exception of one thing, and one thing only; She hated the color pink. She absolutely hated it. She hated bands too. Anything that wasn’t Beyoncé or Drake scared her. AND SHE LOVED PUMPKIN SPICE EVERYTHING *Demon voice* PUMPKINNNNNNN!
Standing tall and perfect, wearing everything popular today. Having the perfect tanned skin, and the perfect hair, smile, and eyes. Hair being perfect everyday and dyed a different color every month Nails done every week with tips and different designs. Having to go tanning every two weeks to make sure her skin doesn't go pale Dressed in all the popular styles, spending millions on her appearance Making sure she has the most expensive shoes, and clothing in her closet Listening to the popular music that is on the radio She drives the most expensive car she can find Having an iPhone that she changes the color of every month She gets everything she wants,and never appreciates it all. She has to have everything in life that's expensive to make the popular list Being friends with everyone in the school that is popular To make sure everyone else loves her in the school. She makes sure everything in life is perfect
She is not caring or loving at all She only thinks of herself and disregards all others Selfish, only does things for her own benefit One would not be able to admire or idolize her The children are left unattended and uncared for She is not there for them and does not set a good example How can a woman be so despicably cruel? She only tends to her own selfish needs And is mainly preoccupied with going out She does not keep the house clean or tidy Does not care about anyone else, not even slightly You would expect a mother to be supportive and compassionate But she is not, she is in fact quite the opposite I am ashamed to even call her my mother And to be honest, I would rather live with my father
Alternate Assigment: She's looking into a tunnel. A tunnel that encloses her from the light that rains down through the swaying branches of trees. The floor is like broken glass, cutting into her bare feet. Blood flows from her onto the floor, leaving a trail of red footprints behind her. She staggers on, for the sweet smell of spring, for warmth from the sun, for the millions of stars that lay outside the walls of the tunnel. She keeps her chin high for she knows that one day this tunnel must end. And one day her life will begin.
Hearts break into pieces Falling deep into the abyss Hands reach out to save them but time is of the essence. And that time has been lost She screams in agony, clawing at her chest. His eyes are blank without feeling. People laugh at such a love. A love that has no bright side. A love that leaves you bare, naked of all passion. A love that is completely hopeless.
I glance into every mirror every chance that I get
ReplyDeleteI’ll say just about anything to be the center of attention
I can’t even count how many friends that I have
I’ll only eat things that are gluten free and have less than 100 calories
I will always refuse ice cream; it’s the devil’s food to me
Books are boring and would be the death of me, if I read
I can run for hours without end, I love the out-of-breath feeling
Dogs gross me out; their slobber is disgusting and unattractive
I watch reality TV in every spare second I have
Which, is not a lot of spare time, I’m pretty busy partying
I enjoy the loud music and throng of strangers
On my weeknights, I don’t work; I hang out with my friends
We usually go out until ten and then I don’t even do my homework
I don’t put anything above myself, not even my family
I am the most important person in my book
Standing at a height of five foot three
ReplyDeleteHair thick and sweet like the honey of a bee
Smart as the dog about to run in the road
Slippery with words like the skin of a toad
Not like the others or even the rest
When it comes to school she is always the best
She is always around people never shy
Buzzes around school with gossip like a fly
Eyes as blue as the sky up high
Easily bored and even caught with a sigh
When you try to talk to her she gives you a stare
Then hardens those eyes that no one could bare
Never caught the next day in the same sweater
If you didn’t know her it would be for the better
The life of a teenage girl named Jarah
Or even better known by the universe as Sarah.
Her big brown eyes glistened in the sun.
ReplyDeleteHer hair, as deep a blue as the ocean,
Swayed back and forth with each passing wind.

So you want to know who I am?
ReplyDeleteWell I guess there really isn’t that much to tell
I’m about five foot nine and have dimples
I’m finally eighteen, I guess that means I can get a car
I live at home with 3 brothers and one sister
A busy house you say, ha you would be surprised
It’s actually really quiet in there, no one really bothers me
We don’t have any pets, but that doesn’t bother me
My allergies wouldn’t tolerate it anyway
I don’t have many friends, I actually have only two
People normally don’t like me, it’s only because I’m better than them
And don’t you dare call me conceited (I don’t really know what it means)
I really hate helping people it doesn’t make my day easier so why bother
Oh also when I get out of highschool I’m not going to college
It’s a total waste of my time when I can just start up a band or be a model
I would make more money anyway, anywho that’s me in a nutshell
I am not a leader, I am a follower
ReplyDeleteI hate dogs but cats are the best pets
I hate video game they are non-productive and a waste of time
I feel that school is the worst thing out there for us
I love to party all night and dance
I do not have any friends but my family
I hate pizza it has no flavor and is unhealthy
I am the type of person who is lost without their phone
I hate the outdoors it is a dirty scary place
I have a sister and I never fight with her she is the best
I hate TV it never has anything on that is good
I never want to go back to one of my old schools because I miss no one
I always fail in school because I do not care about education
I hate water I only like to drink soft drinks
I do not like the type of person I am I want to change
She is not caring or loving at all
ReplyDeleteShe only thinks of herself and disregards all others
Selfish, only does things for her own benefit
One would not be able to admire or idolize her
The children are left unattended and uncared for
She is not there for them and does not set a good example
How can a woman be so despicably cruel?
She only tends to her own selfish needs
And is mainly preoccupied with going out
She does not keep the house clean or tidy
Does not care about anyone else, not even slightly
You would expect a mother to be supportive and compassionate
But she is not, she is in fact quite the opposite
I am ashamed to even call her my mother
And to be honest, I would rather live with my father
