  1. 1Ocean
    Deep in the sea
    The creatures are at play
    Being mysterious and cool
    Bubbles
    2Tumble
    Swirl in the wind
    Yellows, greens, and red
    The colors dance around me
    Autumn
    3Broken
    Shattered to bits
    Her heart was like glass shards
    A lost love that left her destroyed
    Broken
    4Orange
    Bright like the sun
    Dark like the citrus fruit
    A mixture of two light colors
    Orange
    5Silver
    It’s second best
    But somehow still cherished
    Its value is great all because of
    Its shine
    6A ring
    The wedding gown
    I cry as I see frowns
    Theres no happiness on this day
    Disgrace
    7I’m cool
    Swag on hundred
    My skinny jeans stay low
    Actually I’m just a bum
    Loser

  2. 1) Morbid
    sadness is felt
    Built up inside a lid
    All emotions seem to melt
    Much pain

    2)Parents
    Love you a lot
    A matter of fact, their
    love is very real so believe
    these words

    3)Xbox
    The best console
    Better than playstation
    If you say playstations are the best
    You're wrong

    4)Pencils
    Lesser than pens
    The mechanical pens
    Are really the same as pencils
    Pens rule!

    5)T-Shirts
    Come in sizes
    large, medium and small
    You can find the shirts at the mall
    Buy some!

    6)My house
    has many rooms
    My favorite room, is
    Really none of your business
    My home

    7)Snowflakes
    In the winter
    Are falling constantly
    When I say this, please believe me
    Winter

    8)Techno
    Is a genre
    Of music, adored by
    Many, the love is plenty
    Music!

    9)Music

    Music can cure all doubt
    It can make people want to shout
    Music!

  4. I feel
    The wet green grass
    It itches my bare feet
    I’m running to edge of water
    Coolness

    Insane
    Lost in a maze
    Going in a circle
    Maybe the maze is inside me
    Confused

    The strings
    criss cross the room
    They’re tangled together
    They are apart of me and you
    Connects

    Pounding
    My heart is pounding
    Sweat beads down my head
    Hands shaking, breath catching, I’m scared
    Horrors

    Shut down
    My mind closes
    It doesn’t want to feel
    The pain that comes with a reality
    Pretend

    I’m yours
    Certain that you’re mine
    We intertwine together
    You keep running around my head
    Our love

    Nightmares
    Too young lovers
    They’re breaking each others hearts
    Destructive fights and a passion
    Unhealthy

    Don’t leave
    I’ll be afraid
    It makes me so anxious
    That somebody else might take my place
    It hurts

    Forgive
    Forgive the past
    I refuse to live there
    But somehow I find myself back
    Memory

    Understand
    Others not just you
    Fall into their worn shoes
    Living from a new perspective
    Be me

  5. 1. The shell
    Color of brown
    With green little faces
    The slow and steady win the race
    Turtles

    2. The lights
    It is Friday
    The uniform is on
    The red, blue, and white is ready
    Game day

    3. I love
    When the cake bakes
    The smell is amazing
    Conecakes make everyone happy
    Baking

    4. Bubbles
    The shiny soap
    Children want to pop them
    Bubbles make everyone smile
    It’s fun

    5. Colors
    Bright and vibrant
    They are all around you
    In the sky and in the houses
    Lovely

    6. You hide
    Count to fifty
    Go into the closet
    Hide underneath the kitchen desk
    I’ll seek

    7. Gorgeous
    Now here she comes
    She is dressed in the gown
    She sparkles as she sees her man
    The bride


    8. Fire
    The orange flames
    Warmth on my face is great
    We make s’mores around the fire
    It burns

    9. Art class
    Ideas are here
    The creativity
    The projects are really special
    Art class

    10. Love them
    The memories
    Their unforgettable
    The laughs are indescribable
    My friends

  6. The time
    Has finally
    Reared its ugly head I was
    Extremely terrified of my
    Future

    Water
    Frequently drips
    From ominous storm clouds
    Splashing down forming puddles of
    Liquid

    Sleep is
    A nocturnal
    Oasis to hide from
    The darkness building up inside
    Humans

    Bloodshot
    Eyes hide it all
    The tears well up almost
    Instantly pouring out pain is
    shallow

    Art is
    Beautiful at
    A glance but if you look
    Closer you will see expressions
    Of life

    Leaves fall
    The time has come
    Brisk Autumn air sweeps through
    Leaving beautiful colors out
    And about

    Snowflakes
    Fall coating the ground
    Below zero you will
    Freeze quicker than you expect its
    Truly crazy


    Money
    Comes and goes but
    It will always rule you
    You can’t live without it though its
    Paper

    Earth spins
    Very Rapid
    We live on a giant
    Spinning top that rapidly spins
    Damn dude

  7. trap house
    chillin with snow white
    whiter than a crayon
    street name is nice, streets cold as ice
    street life

    School day
    the day is long
    eight long hours of class
    bullying everywhere you turn
    fights too

    Homeless
    living alone
    have no one to help you
    trying to stay alive everyday
    hard life

    Springbreak
    alot of fun
    students can’t wait for this
    it’s almost like a vacation
    comes late

    Working
    sweat and many tears
    getting paid by the hour
    help pay bills and feed the family
    All day

    Shopping
    so much to buy
    wishing to buy it all
    everything is so overpriced
    must have

    Iphone
    very high tech
    new features every year
    sales sky rocket on the new phone
    too much


    Summer
    a time for laughs
    everyday seems so nice
    the sun comes out brightening the day
    don’t leave

    Music
    many types of it
    made of beats and lyrics
    speaks to people in many ways
    good vibes

    Xbox
    price 400
    games are 60 dollars
    it never gets boring for me
    gaming

  8. Now you’re
    Adrift in a
    Sea of lives, a foolish
    Villain in an endless chapter.
    The demons.

    Running,
    Behind your eyes.
    A simple shadow, we
    Fight together, I’ll never walk
    Away.

    I met
    This boy last year
    I said “don’t you worry
    If I disappear,” I told him
    “It’s fine.”

    I went
    Away for months,
    Until our paths crossed once
    More, I said “I’m not looking for
    A friend.”

    That heart,
    Is so cold, all
    Over my own, I don’t
    Want to know that, don’t screw with me.
    That heart.

    Better
    Than words, more than
    A feeling, crazy in
    Love, dancing on the ceiling now.
    Baby

    Okay,
    Best I ever
    Had, hips do not lie, yeah
    You make me wanna, say it one
    More time.


    Said if
    It’s the last thing
    That I do, I’ll bring you
    Down, I’ll bleed out for you. So I
    Take it.

    You tell
    me to hold on.
    But innocence is gone.
    But what is right is now wrong, I’ll bleed
    for you.

    Baby,
    You light up my
    World like nobody else.
    The way that you flip your hair gets
    me babe.
