Two tiny turtles placed in a plastic shoe box at the corner of a cabinet
Their quality of life is equal to their cheapness of the quality box
All I wanted was okay
as a child, a teen, and an adult
All I want is okay
to smile, to laugh, and to live
And to be okay
No struggle, no strife, and no pain

Money
There's so much of it in the world
but why don't I have any of it?
Why does my family struggle so much
when others have money coming out of their ears?
I'm stuck trying to figure out
I just can't find the right one.
What am I doing wrong?
They say go with the money.
I say I want to go where ever my heart desires.
But I have had a personal struggle with having too little.
Life is like a shadow by Aymin ShataraWe chase it,it runsWe stop,it comesSun up , we goSun down, we comeNever stop, we want it bad
I wake up every morning
Innocent and vulnerable
Happy and carefree
I remember where I am
A beautiful campus
Friends all around
Spring flowers and warm air begin to appear
Hey Johnnie
Give me your lunch money
Hey Johnnie
Give me change for the bus
Hey Johnnie
Your locker rent is due
Hey Johnnie
There's a toll to get to class
Hey Johnnie
Can you hear me from where you are?
Im feeling alone where I am
I can't help but wonder if I'll go far
I miss your helping hand
I was accepted to my dream college did you see that? Are you proud?
I must say that I expected more from high school,
I thought that after high school I could to everything by myself,
well,
I learned the hard way that I was wrong.
I even took a class called "Financial Literacy"
What would the world be like if there was no such thing as money?
Would it be a better, simpler life?
With no greed; no killing or fighting to be rich?
How would it affect everyday people?
My uncle once told me
never to smell money;
for liking the smell of money
is selfish, I suppose,
greedy,
as if the green scent is blood
in an ocean infested with sharks
Why is it that
Those of us that can’t afford
A college education
Are punished for trying?
Why is the world saying
Screw you
For trying to get out
And do more than our parents
Grandparents
Poems are hard but writting is easy.
So this all might sound a little bit cheesy.
That doesn't mean that this is funny.
I can write a poem when it comes to money.
My pockets are empty, My loans get declined
My pen on paper, my mind running about
it’t to hard to keep trying,
“Get an education, go to school!” all this they shout.
but my dream are growing further, and my goals are dying.
I strive because I write.I strive because I don't run.I strive because I'm different.I strive because I'm someone.It's not a competition,And if it is, it's against me.I look into the mirror,
The first time I admitted it was over text
I knew I was about to make my life a mess
"It gets better" was the chant I held on to
the only way I could face that girl in school
Change, A word I hate to bear
When it pounces on my life
And runs me to despair
Relocation, An identity of mine
An overbearing type of life
When we won’t make up our mind
We can’t come to a conclusion
