I was the kid who hated writing about myself
Or telling how good I am at something.
The worst was when I had to describe myself
but really it’s nothing.
I am average
I get okay grades
B e yourself because everyone else is already taken
E nable your ability to see your own beauty
Again,
life has thrown you
into a wave to carry you away
Again,
everything is out of control
nothing is in your grasp
Again,
As the leaves fall,
as will I.
As the seasons change,
I shall too.
As the Earth spins,
I will keep my balance.
At what age does love truly die?
Well if it's pure it doesn't, let me tell you why
My grandfather had a wife named Jackie
She was his best friend and could always make him happy
There is no pace like home
rather I’m there or if I am gone.
I go see my mom and also my dad
I leave without consent and that is my bad.
Detroit is where I reside
It’s still hard for me to understand.
How when you kiss me, my heart drops
And my stomach rises
As the hair behind my neck stands up
And uncontrollable shivers roll down my spine
I sit here with this Boulder at my ankle
It grows and grows
This Boulder at my ankle
I try to break the shackle
I try to break the chain
Of this Boulder at my ankle
Truth sometimes is stranger than fiction,Facts get twisted with lies in contradiction.The truth can no longer hide,Turkey is guilty of our genocide.Ottoman Empire had the genocidal mentality,They destroyed our faith in humanity.1915 was systematic
look on the bright side
what the fuck does that mean
to imagine the cup half full for a second
to put on a grin for everyone
well,
if you want to put on a show,
then break a leg
The morning breeze as the sun rises
The leafs swirling in the wind
The birds humming their morning song
in the first moment that she breathes, she is that of the supernatural
by three, she is all that is the universe
there is space dust in her bones and galaxies in her blood
I'm seriously, sitting silently stationed so close to my sofa in this sobering sunny day in Arizona.
Call me crazy, cuz consequently the curtains closed in my home state with a cascade of dark clouds coloring the sky,
The Sun
She brings us life and joy; despair
Her silent song a covenant of care–
Our faithful servant in the air
A gilded messenger, inasmuch:
It’s the addictive bitter taste sliding down your throat.
The smell of caffeine, and the burn in your fingers
as you hold the paper cup between numb hands.
Your body is awesome
squishy, smooth skin
untaut and full of blemishes
and so is mine.
Let your body blossom
jagged marks running horizontal and vertical
Living life the way I want to
The possibilities are endless.
Sweet life of being able to explore
Life gets better with so many options.
Can't wait till tomorrow
you will survive
emerging into the world like any other baby
small, wrinkly, squinty, and fragile
And I don't care if you tell me that it isn't possible
Because look at me when I say
"Music raised me"
No it can not physically hold me and comfort me
Is it awkward to wrap your arms around yourself
Like a lonely person who can’t get love from anybody else?
To kick up on those endorphin highs
And leave a perpetual crease of a smile stretched so wide,
There is no so such thing as bad.
Only Awesome.
Arguments are awesome,
they make us stand up for what we believe.
Stress is awesome,
In the thick heat of summer two siblings, a boy and a girl, watch a grasshopper hop by
That’s awesome she says
What’s awesome he asks
That she points
Nooooo, what does awesome mean
Huh
My computer turns on and reminds me of debt.
College comes closer and interest follows after.
Babysitting job doesn't pay regularly.
Mother is tired. Bill notices are scattered everywhere.
Having an amazing life
Is all i can think of
Living forever is my wish
And having adventures everyday
Random thoughts are always on my mind
Incapable of controlling them
K is for Kool, E is for Enthusiastic or Energetic
Or E can stand for Exhilarating and Epic
Awesomeness is neither measured materialistically
nor financially.
Because blessings come in all different sizes
and in many different disguises.
What goes up, must come down.
Questions of why we’re always laughing so loud
Or how we continually stick out in the crowd
Never faze us
We just smile and shrug
Or hit a mean mug
We don’t let them unnerve us
Hands,
The color of sweet caramel and once as smooth as porcelain,
Are now gritty, roughened by labor.
Constantly toiling, like bees in a continuous cycle,
These hands fly from task to task.
Hands,
Why only call on him at midnight?
When your mind feels weak not right
Why not call on him throughout the day?
Like before you become overwhelmed and your skies turn gray
Someone asked me to write about how everything is awesome. I couldn't think of anything awesome. What did I figure out the problem was? It was me. I was thinking too much and not feeling enough. I didn't even know what I wanted.
A twinkling night shining down
Songs outside your window announcing the presence of the sun around
Curls occupy the quietest part of my heart,
each tendril wrapped like a vine rooted in my chest,
holding my pulse in the center of each spiral.
My hands itch to rake fingers through every ringlet,
They always say be grateful and don't you ever ask for more,
but how can I do that when there's nothing to be grateful for?
So much has happened and I can't take it anymore,
the storm quietly engulfs the sky,
and leaves the ocean a dark and thick sludge
you and countless others silent and scared
stand atop a tall, jagged cliff that pierces the obsidian liquid
the sky is alive and angry
The first time I talked to you
It was like the waves washed me up onto shore
and I dried out in the sun.
I promised I'd never go back in the waves
and drift away.
You dreamed of the ocean and
Senior Year sucked.Broken spirits and broken exesCutthroat academics and cutthroat schoolmatesMistakenly jealous and mistakenly focused
We forgot how to careI forgot you stood there
She awoke with a crook in her neck
and a frown on her face.
Her hair in a whirl
and life in distress
but,
The thought of the little girl
that lived upstairs;
The chaos is silented.
The pool glistens in the 90 degree sun
as the nature grows louder.
I am listening to the birds sing
and then mock anothers song
as if they are harmonizing.
The owls
Feelings are a matter of perspective.
We can dwell on them, allow the waves to crash over our lives in crescendos of pain, euphoria, anger, and fear.
When I learned how to play the recorder in third grade,
when I realized I was pretty good at it.
When my fourth grade teacher had the class sing Mexican rancheras,
when I heard myself really sing for the first time.
Standing on the edge of a vast Beryl Lagoon,Feet anchored in the blistering sand.Pulling on a rope through Sun and Moon;Connected edges across the blue expand.Hands rugged with a ceaseless grip,
Undiscovered treasures
The diversity of the human persona
Stumbling upon matches
Persons riding a mutual wavelength
Communicating volumes through a single glance
Souls that run parallel
Never clashing
Innocent brown eyes
roam around in her wonderland
reaches for the light that slowly fades
fades way along with her innocence.
Tick, Tock, Tick Tock
time is running
Excuse me miss I lost my heart a while back,
but if you help me find it…it will be yours forever.
See I'm extremely interested in you
There is a serene feeling in being.
Taking time to breath and being thankful for life itself
Life is not about they grey places you come from.
Life is about the brighter places you will go.
Life is full of obstacles and challenges and battlefronts,
Sometimes when I lay my head back,
upon my pillow,
upon the whisper of dreams soon to come,
I feel the anger begin to swell,
rise up within me,
all of my emotions stirred,
What a time to be.
A world full of love and life
A world full of you and I
Given this moment as I pass by
Given that moment lost in time.
Digital data spinning around us
Scared out of my mind.
I begin to lose all of my breath.
As I look to my right and left,
I see a world that is decimated.
Life. Veins pulsing.
We’re human, good at resuscitation.
A personality that’s hard to resist,
The drive that always persists,
Laughter that is so captivating,
With a view that's so motivating,
Determination unlike any kind,
Understanding with an open mind,
Everything is awesome!
From the bad days to the good days
The bad days only teach you how to make them better.
The good days make you appreciate the bad ones.
Everyone is awesome!
Around us is only warmth.
Inside me is only one sound.
We can see colors contrast,Breaking through our windows.Winter has turned to spring,Summer yet to come.
Yesterday, my best friend’s mom died.
She woke up and took a fresh breath
Only to be struck lifeless by that
Nefarious nemesis called death.
Eighteen and twelve.
At one point life had no worries, no responsibilities
But it's not an option to grow
You go to school, you go to work
Then everything begins to flow
You'll always make mistakes
It's an advantage of living
She smiles over her shoulder, her perfect blonde hair falls into her face.
I shake my head and laugh at what she thinks.
She thinks she is nothing, that no one sees her beauty.
But I see the whole picture.
We see Beauty: Understatement.
For even through dark clouds, a single ray of light can escape to unleash color upon the world.
Even the rain brings forth flowers to greet you.
We see Beauty: Underestimate.
Triangles, the strongest shapes, three simple sides.
The power of three applied.
Three awesome "legs" in my life that help me stand.
I have found my soulmate; we laugh, we love, and we believe in each other.
Take away the pain,
The agony inside.
I don't want to feel,
I'm tired of the fight.
Why must I hurt,
Why must I feel.
Why does the World,
Put me through hell.
Most people think that joy is found
In massive thrills, events, and sounds.
But I have found it more often springs,
In little treats and smaller things.
The site would not let me upload my video but here is the link. https://youtu.be/67v4hqP8Z2k
Awesomeness At Its Finest
The first time we meet was breath taken.
It gave me an awesome sensation, leaving my mind blank but my heart awaken.
I named every correlation in the sky after the letters in your name.
He looks down at the bill, anger apparent on his face
You look down at the floor, you know he needs space
After he yells, you know you should run
All of these fights, your life isn’t fun
You sprint out the door
What is your Anthem?
How do you convey it?
To scream and shout at the top of you lungs
Or to quietly sing it to yourself
To rebel against labels
Or to embrace the perks of it
When the lines blur,
When life seems to throw you down
With tosses and turns,
Bumps and bruises,
Sticks and stones.
To what you seek a haven from.
No matter what happens
Your true friends have you
Awesome can be made of very small size,
As in the laughter of a child,
Or an essay revised.
But awesome can also come bigger and wild!
Like a gnarly wave surfed,
And a mural brightly styled.
Words are funny, sometimes.
It used to be that "awesome" and "awful" meant much the same thing.
The kind of thing that, well--
Born like any other
Perfect in my mother and fathers eyes
until my perfection was stained
Coffee was the culprit ,as it flowed on my young four year old body
Screams and shouts filled the room
awesomeness lies in feeling,
to feel so on top of the world
and be left reeling
even the deepest pain which leads to
the most monstrous of cries,
the power of pain is to feel alive.
What is awesome? Many ask.
Is it such a difficult task?
Could it be a tacky trend?
Oh how mistaken they are, my friend!
From the way leaves surf the wind,
to how many cultures greet.
Awesomeness is everywhere
In a string on the floor
In a feather on a bird
On the pavement that forms a road.
Awesomeness is everywhere
In a toad or a hare
In a hippo or a bear.
awesomeness lies in feeling,
to feel so on top of the world
and be left reeling
even the deepest pain which leads to
the most monstrous of cries,
the power of pain is to feel alive.
Little boy wakes up screaming.
No mother there, to coddle him back to dreaming.
Little boy sees mother leaving,
thinking it's his fault.
"Why doesn't she love me?" he thinks,
I must be unworthy.
I think awesomeness can be found in the often overlooked aspects of life, such as a favorite book or a favorite food. For me, it is my room. I make music in my room, and I wrote this song to reflect my thoughts in the poem.
Cracking voice changes
Don't feel bad
Time is passing
It's time to be glad!
Growing up is awesome
In so many ways
It passes too fast
To be counting the days.
It was the dying days of summer
when the brain seems to be dummer,
and he decided to ride his bike.
He could feel fall approaching,
Oh, what a dreadful thought, I am crying,My eyes are not dry but wet with fear,The heart in me wishes to kill itself,
There are things that bring a smile
And brighten one's day
But there are times when a
Bit of doubt
Grief, anger, hopelessness
Fight for attention
Obscuring one's view
When people are in love,
They often cannot explain what it is they love about the person.
They just say,
“It’s something about him,”
Or,
“It’s something about her.”
fingers warm from the pulsing heat from this cigarette
chemicals going in and out
all i can think about is you
every inhale, every exhale
you you you
you burn away
i flick the ash
School’s finally out, and it’s almost time to sup,
But you have to wait outside for your mom to pick you up.
It’s boiling out here, feels like one hundred and three
And you can’t help but think, “Oh why is it me?
There is a world out there.
People will tell you to settle down,
To get comfortable in one single space,
But there are a thousand more spaces for you to fill,
Waiting beyond the horizons of what you already know.
L-i-f-e
A four letter word we pretend to comprehend,
an abstract concept, taken for granted
WE DO NOT BEGIN AS POLICE PROPERTY, to be freed or detained based on some guy’s mood or feeling.” he wrote.....
We are not theirs... We are not of their descent.
Their hair.
Their skin...
We are not theirs
I see America jumping.
I see America jumping
For joy for an
Upcoming era of technology.
I see America jumping
With enthusiasm to get back to work
After not having pay
I'm frustrated.
I'm happy.
I'm sad.
88 black and white keys wait for me.
Do re mi fa sol la ti do!
My fingers fly,
Racing up and down the scale!
Concentrate.
Why do birds chirp?
Why is grass green?
Why don’t pigs fly?
Why are people sometimes so mean?
Why is crime happening?
Why are people dying?
Why is money a big deal?
Butterflies flutter as she zips up her dress
Memories flash back to the day she said yes
Family and friends all fill the room
She walks down the isle but wait...where's the groom?
Simple joys make life worth living.
Waking every morning to the smell of coffee,
reminding me that somewhere near,
someones loves me.
The birds chirping make me look to the window.
On the bus we’re put in the back
Where the city’s ceaseless crowd moves
Where the doors are doors of paper
As I stand aloof
In this vast world of lies and hate and greed
The doors close
She walked up to me
A soul distracted by the beauty she never knew
She was beautiful
An innocent joy that could not be further from the truth
Smiled through the pain
And I smiled back
I wake up every moring with a thankful mind set. could have lost my life last night but i am still here. Looking back at the days, thinking about i acted a fool. Thanking my father for not giving up on me.
Is the back of the room where you truly belong?
The shy kid,
That never wants to stand out from the crowd.
The one who is too insecure
To ever branch out
For fear that you're being talked about.
Rejoice! Because you happen to be apart of a special race of people that are awesome.Yes,you, sitting there reading this poem searching for a daily dose of awesomeness.
Smiles bright as the sun,
Laughter loud as a lion's roar,
Memories burned into my brain,
The warmth of their presence,
Intensifyng with every second.
Those smiles are wondrous,
The air is sharp with winter anticipationComets with tails blazing: stage lightsHit upon the crowd, wondrousHis hair is Spanish moss thatHangs heavy from the oaks,festooned in beads and baubles
Maintain blank expressions Immune to pain See oppression?
Turning aggression to joy obsession Transforming deceit into prayer sessions
Mints for foul mouth descendants
Of our forefathers
Divine…The imagery of euphoria sits beyond this window’s pain.For this is what has us running in place in hope it prepares us for an escape.Fear…The singular emotion that drives hopes behind said barrier.
Being a college student can be fun,
Although, you do not see much time in the sun.
Spending all day, every day in study,
Makes me feel like I need a hug from a buddy.
I plan on becoming a nurse,
Golden light it spreads
As it sits upon her head
This woman is not dead
As she lay there in her bed
An Angel has been bred
A divine arrangement of keys.
A vibrant display of sounds.
A world once unbeknownst to me
Became my life renowned.
A philosophy once inquisitve,
Now seemingly concrete.
An imagination so definitive,
~Lumos~
There once was a time when all was dark,
Where all who feared feared his mark.
Those who fought him died,
And those who ran away, cried.
They dare not speak his name,
Wonder.
We are full of wonder.
We wonder how,
We wonder when,
We wonder why.
This sense of wonder
Keeps us alive,
Keeps us curious,
Keeps us asking questions.
Laughter squeezes out of my mother like she’s a lemon, and I watch
As the tissue paper covering her eyes
Fluctuates into a constellation of veins created to give her solace.
A strange person, a new place
Commissioned with a purpose
Embark upon a quest entrusted to you to lead
Be wary of your life force, be not careless
Followed by others who will aid you in battle
The calm before the storm
The rainbow directly after
The way people can come togeter
Followng a disaster
A sunset that marks the end of another day -
Something that should be sad
Venimus, Vidimus, Vicimus.We are the bricks in the wall,and flames spill from the cracks in the mortar. A generation of warriors,We hunger for knowledge.
Awesome Is...
Having your very own bedroom
A paid phone bill
Smiling in the face of danger
A surprise from your sweetie
Dangling on the edge, knowing you have a friend to catch you
I want to live my dream
I want to float around in my mind forever
my mind is awsome
Why be happy?
Do you feel that?
Thats your heart beating.
Those are your lungs breathing.
That's your kidney cleaning.
Those are your eyes reading.
Those are your nerves pulsing.
Even unmasked and bare:
You are you; this can be a bad thing.
Dreading the stress that finds its way into your life
And stressing the dread of walking out onto the BIG stage.
Life, it goes up and down
The future has many possibilities, they are all around
Why don’t you look inside you?
You can do whatever you put your mind to
Eyes.
The pathway to the mind.
The gateway to the soul.
The eyes never lie
When your heart has bullet holes.
Brown, blue, green
Maybe a jumble of all three.
Creation
Salvation
Repentance
Redemption
My God
My God did it all
I could use every adjective to describe him
But they would be just mere words
His thoughts alone created every zone,
I close my eyes.
There is nothing but darkness,
But only for a moment.
For in an instance, I see it.
I see hope,
I reach for hope,
I have hope.
In gloom times,
Should I bury my future with precious attention?
Amid the screams
And the dreams
Of faces unseen
Lost in a sea
Nowhere to be.
Just me
His Sea Package came with a sign that read: Run! Don't walk! Sex, no talk! One night and don't you dare stalk!
But it was cool see....
Johnny came to visit when I was nine
He only had the chance to just that one time
He still smiled as often as he always did
But his smile seemed almost crooked
I asked him why that was and he said:
When he awoke, Avery Man spoke
"It's good to be alive in a town ranked five!"
out of five he meant, for he was born quite ignorant
not dumb or stupid or silly or simple
The bright fire's flames
the cool warm night
everything is awesome
The falling rain
the earth's cyclical life
everything is awesome
The song your laughter makes
I see the way she looks at clothes she can't afford,
The way she looks inside the empty refrigerator.
Every week she prays to the lord,
She says, "maybe I can buy it later."
I can't get a job,
You wanna know something about yourself?
yes you, reading this poem, expecting some la dee dah.
You write your own story
your own choices
your own life
and you know what?
People always want to fit in and be one with the crowd
But I’m not one to bow-down
To what others deem important or proper
My self-expression knows no boundaries
Who I want to be is who I will be
There has never been a world such as this
Filled to the brim with blood and gore,
but over flowing with hope and love.
There are days, and then there are days like this:
Have you ever had one of those
Days that you just wished you could
Wrap up in sparkling paper and send
Back in time to your younger self and
When life hands you lemons,
You make lemonade.
That’s the way
The cards are played.
But if life hands you a pitcher,
Where do you get those lemons?
If life hands you nothing
You’re rather odd, you think.
Not ugly or different or repulsive-
Just an individual one would consider ‘other’
Your hair gives a decisive screw you to gravity,
A breath of crisp, fresh air pushing its way through your lungs after a dive into the depths of the ocean.
A soft breeze caressing your skin after an oppressively hot day.
Feeling alone in the dark,
Seeing nothing but the stars,
Wishing there was a mark,
Looking so far,
Then seeing a hand reach out,
So gentle and soft,
The person giving no doubt,
There are certain moments that make up a person's life;
It's the tiny moments that make up the big one.
It's the longing stares and exasparated glares and the gentle hugs;
Have you ever had those days
Were you feel like your fading away
Maybe need a shove to get a jump start
Feeling so down in the dumps
That you’re walking with a slump
It feels like everything is going wrong
I take a look around
and it seems that all I see are people who are bound;
Memories can change a person
Good ones make them happy
Bad ones make them sad
The more they hold onto the bad memories the more painful their life becomes
That's why the good memories are so powerful
I have seen the bad,
But I have also seen some good,
And I never stay mad,
Because this world is where I stood.
I am happy with my life,
Postivitiy all around,
In search for a wife,
Music is an outlet, it sings and let's go of the things that we see, but don't really know. You don't need eyes to see it, nor ears to hear it, only a soul to feel it.
Everything is awesome
nothing is awesome
Exciting become lifeless
blossoms become common
Boring
Mundane
everything is awful
nothing is awful
average becomes vibrant
Dances with Words
“But there are books, books there are! Rattling words on the page calling my eyes to dance with them.”
A sudden, intense, droning ended the solemn silence in the apartment.
With a grunt of anger and disdain, a man’s hand emerges and silences it.
With a large sigh and dread in his eyes, he fully emerges from the covers;
Limbs splayed among the dandelions
You tell me Earth is spinning
I grip the world by its blades
Of grass, and find I am a static being
In a universe that revolves around us
At life speed
It rains a lot there. Yet the weather makes you feel Lucky. Optimistic. Everything looks like water colors. Paint palettes balance blues and hues of green and As it seems… that place there is an art gallery.
Two thousand seven hundred and sixty-two miles
I think of you and I'm breathless
I never let go your necklace
You're protecting me and these strangers
Never telling me of the dangers
You have all of my heart
Life is an Awesome Thing
Life may not be a walk in the park,
But it’s what you make of it,
Every day you get a new chance to live,
A new day to thrive,
Or a new day to start over,
The heavenly aroma forced me to sigh,so I turned around.. thats when it caught my eye.'Twas a bush of roses. Roses that were so beautifully scattered.Every thorn, every petal; none were tattered.
Astronaut, cowboy, or fireman.
That’s what I used to say when I was a kid.
Over the years the answer changed,
but the enthusiasm stayed the same.
The excitement of life tomorrow
It's that moment;
I know you know the one.
It's when I've owned it;
It's when the game is won.
Every dribble,
Every whistle.
Every second on the clock,
Recovery is hard,
And often sprinkled with days of relapse.
The scorching sun is nothing but a nuisance,
And the alarm blares responsibilities.
The world can seem so heavy
This unpredictable world
slowly
falling
apart,
is changed by those
who always see its charm.
Once upon a time,
the invention of happiness came about.
It washed over my world like a shower
and I discovered I really had no reason to pout.
Welcome to Rebekkah-stan
Although times get rough
We might think we aren't good enough
To find love and hope
Find him who helps you cope
Look upon the lord
For you will be reborn
Life is not a possession.
A possession that can be taken by man.
Nor can be taken by sickness.
Life isn't just a possession.
I only used one-hundred pages.
They were blank anyway.
I didn't think you 'd miss them,
It may be tough to see
You have to let things be
Don't stress, don't worry, pain never lasts
It takes patience to realize change will come fast
Keep your head up, remember to stay strong
It may be tough to see
You have to let things be
Don't stress, don't worry, pain never lasts
It takes patience to realize change will come fast
Keep your head up, remember to stay strong
When a stoop of depression is upon me
and allI can see are the wrinkles in my skin and the bags under my eyes
a friend will remind me
that those wrinkles mean wisdom
and the bags mean hard work
Changelings satisfy their form, but always desire more. It seems that having desire is enough of a ballast to quench their ire.
Life is awesome
Even when you play possum
Hiding from the negativity
You can find serenity.
Your intellectual capabilities
Create possibilities
To harness the power
Of your personal flower
Surrounded by danger and desperation,
surrounded by poverty and frustration,
surrounded by pessimism and sorrow,
surrounded by discrimination and degradation
there is strength.
Amazing poets and paper
Wild monkeys and staples
Essentials needed to write an adventure
Superstitions to carry along in the center
Obstacles for tension
Mothers for protection
The horizon,
So close to me
Yet so far
Away fro my reach
The horizon,
Just like dreams
Just like hopes
Only a mirage
The horizon,
Once reached
Life is not always easy,
There are moments where you feel so down.
It isn't fair,
But there are more reasons to smile than to frown.
Chronic illness fights hard,
I run.
I lace up my shoes,
I think of all I done,
I pray in hopes of an answer,
and I run.
I compose symphonies with my feet,
I think of toxic words,
I dream of Someday,
and I run.
We’re all on the train of life
Struggling to stay on board
Constantly moving
Constantly searching
On the train of life
We’re all striving to one direction
Yet we lose sight of our destination
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
My feet pound, steadily against the Earth.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
My eyes fly to the top of the hill,
My heart accepts the challenge.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Drive. Drive. Drive. Drive.
My legs burn.
The 4 L's of Lake Life
A path that leads to nowhere can lead anywhere.
A dead end leads to endless possibilities.
A place where the trees whisper summer’s name,
Life descends upon us unawares
living is a beauty so beguiling
As a human subject to her whim
how could you not embrace her smiling?
To awaken with such potential
Life is a warzone
An enemy at every side
No one can deny
That this is life
But in this war I find excitement
It’s wonderful
Yet people think I’m crazy
Do you ever wish you could see the unknown,
Witness a miracle, or sit on a throne?
Do you ever wish to have a longer life,
Have the perfect husband or wife?
I'm here to say that if you do,
The sounds of individual water droplets colliding with a creaking roof
while you lay slumbering in a nest of neatly stitched blankets
The morning when you wake to the filaments of the sun
I cannot say why we wonder
I can only dream my dreams
Imagination leads to creation
Inventions become a need
Wonder allows the mind to wander
While the body is set to work
Everything is AwesomeFrom the little things in day to day lifeThat give us griefTo the moments whereWe can't help but smileEverything that happens in our livesMakes everything else fall into place
From the bend in your nose, to the length of your toes, I love you.
The gap in your teeth, only makes you more unique, I love you.
Especially that scar above your brow, and the lines that form when you frown.
Their love is kind-
but even kindness cannot disguise anger.
A delicate balance only nature can produce.
Their love is translucent to the human eye-
many cannot see it until they cannot silence it.
This romance was oh so strong.
And now it’s completely gone.
A romantic that won’t leave my mind,
A bonded love that is hard to find.
I sit in my room waiting for you.
Pushed Down
In a rut
But Tupac told me
Keep my head up.
Obstacles, hurdles
Twist and turns
Yes, indeed we live to learn.
I may fret, I may cry
Life sucks.
Only if you let it.
I just want to be alone.
When you are done, I'll be here waiting with open arms.
Today is the worst day possible, you wouldn't understand.
If I asked you what the goal of life is
You’d probably say “to be successful”
But what defines your success?
Money, Cars, a nice home, evenings out in expensive bars?
Every Day of our lives,
there is a new journey that arrives.
Enjoying the sunlight on a nice spring day,
You're alive
What are the odds?
That someone on your family tree has death dodged
Fathom it, just try
The simple fact that it's us, here now, is baffling
Yes, you.
No matter
Where you're from,
How you got there,
How old you are,
What ace you are,
You are awesome.
You are you, and that is enough.
You have thoughts, feelings,
Every day we’re reminded again
How wonderful it is to live.
But how do we make the most of it
Without wasting a single second?
When the sun stops shining,
At least there are stars.
Suicidal
It hurts because no matter how passionate, I wasn’t good enough
Miss educated
Because my love was deeper than what I was taught
I love books... Just not the books you wanted me to read
It's funny when you become everything you always swore you wouldn't.
It's funny when you realize you don't stand for anything.
No passions.
No motivation to fulfill any dreams you once had.
I'm the one who sees silver lining.
I'm the one who won't be caught whining.
What good is there for complaining?
With that, you won't be gaining.
The one who works hard is content,
The one who's lazy is not.
Hello little brown girl I see in the mirror.
With your beautiful wide nose,
Skin couldn't be any clearer.
Dipped in chocolate,
Caramel coated molasses,
My beautiful little sisters wearing the glasses.
When I wake up,
Once I brush my teeth,
After getting out,
Before the day ends,
While I giggle and play,
Because I love what I do,
Since I only live once,
I live the life I chose.
I love people because they all have stories to tell, and stories share a truth that intensify the meaning of our existence.
Somewhere out there
A baby has just been born
and the mother and the father both weep
and kiss as they say
look at the miracle that we have created
Somewhere out there
My father and I argue so often
Our blows never soften
Everything he said flares up my anger
I wanted to put up my finger
He wanted me home
take care of things alone
I roar at him ten times in a row
To be awesome is to be human. And to be human is to have opinions. I like my burgers with no onions. You and I get to try new things. I've never written a poem before but I think I can become king.
My heart fills with fear--
constricting-- tightening--
as the deadline draws near.
Time too precious to waste;
stress envelops me
as I work in haste.
No time to play,
no time to talk
Sun-damaged hair bouncing between my tired eyes,
the flapping of my stretched skin with every stride,
See the world how you want to,
Go to sleep happy and you wont be blue,
Who knew when they were young what they could become,
Think and do is true for everyone,
Why does a dream have to stay a dream,
Omg
That car
That song
That dance move
That night club
That book
That phone
That guy
That girl
Is awesome.
“Awesome” is transforming into “love”
Her radiant smile shined just like the sun
Her eyes glimmered just like a crystal sea
Her goofy laugh brought so much joy and fun
Her charachter always influenced me
No one seems to understand
How amazing it is
To turn a word
Into an idea
And an idea
Into a possibility
Thank You
So Please,
Don’t let me be the last person to see your shining smile,
Don’t let me yell on this mountain of hardships alone,
Hope....
4 letters....
The strength of a nation unified.
Hope...the light of the night.
Hope... The friend.
Hope....
4 letters..
Love
Life
Time
All 4 letters.
I sat amongst the weeds and felt
their stalks twist against the wind into
my torso and catch on the invisible hairs
of my arms, a push and pull in time
with the rhythm of the blanket beating
There once was a man from nantucket
He was too poor to piss in a bucket
He went to college and only got poorer
Until scholarship money gave him escape from his horror
As an infant you don’t recognize
The love in a mother’s eyes
She carries you with a gentle touch
You don’t realize she loves you so much
With forgiveness full and plenty
I was born and thrust into a world I was not prepared for.
I learned to swim in a world that kept trying to drown me
but it was not easy.
I ended up in hospitals and rehabs
They call Him "Our Savior".
Lord Jesus! Our Savior!
You, the one who died for all of us.
The one who gladly gave up His own life
for us to be forgiven.
You, a so called "myth" to most people,
So there I sat admiringly,
Neath the fragrant apple tree,
When I, yes I, oh my, oh me,
Felt the sting of a bumble bee,
It hurt so bad, oh gosh, oh gee,
I said to bee, I didn’t hurt thee,
"Good morning",
I get at the sound of a ring.
My phone wakes me up,
To my favorite song that it sings.
Dear me,
The scars show your past mistakes
The lies, the bellowing sobs
With make-up draining off your face
In the mist of your despair
The world is relentless
I"m just gonna write cause that's all I need...to put pen to paper and make the ink bleed.
Looking in the mirror and being satisfied
Smiling at yourself, undoubtedly sincere
Listening to your favorite song
Stormy clouds gather on the horizon,
Growing dark with every minute.
More menacing, more terrifying,
Consuming what remains of clear, blue sky.
Suddenly, a strong wind blows across the clouds,
Raindrop drops,
In elegant grace.
Refreshes the land,
In gentle embrace.
Raindrop drops,
From a foreign place.
But blesses the earth,
Sometimes it's hard
Not to listen to the thoughts
Running rampant in your mind
But instead to listen to the beat of your heart
And how it matches the beating of your feet on the path of life
Running from the past
having to face a mystery involving your identity
although a fan of mysteries,
this one is not wanted or welcome
College on the horizon
who knows what will happen
How can we stand out
if we are clouded by doubt
Confidence must rise
For us to be able to see the blue skies
Positivity needs to take the stand
For us to be able to to gain the upper hand
Please, someone tell me
Is something ever really hot?
To a star, it may be not,
But to a single particle,
there is so little for me to write about because i've set the pain aside and it isn't worth a few poems to pick it back up so instead i will write about the one who took the pain away and folded it neatly with seventeen creases into a brown leath
Oh, grandmother
With your white-white hair
and your pale skin you protected from the sun
Did you have any regrets?
Were you thankful
for the gift you were given?
The gift to pass as white?
It is not the victory; it is the journey.
Evolution comes from failure, not from getting it right.
Resiliency makes the person, not success.
I respect perserverance over flawless attempts.
YOU
You are what counts
You should dedicate all your accomplishments to yourself
No one should be able to own up to what you did for yourself
Everything is awesome when you accomplish it
It was December 1st 2014
My heart was pounding my skin was crawling
Your daddy was crying
Your nani was smiling
Your auntie lauhhing
The doctor storming
The words "push his crowing"
The half mile is a brutal race
Too long to sprint
Too short to breath
And no chance of a second wind
To be human is to go through life wondering how you fit
From the moment we fear that spark of doubt is lit
We turn on the news and 9 times outta 10 it'll make you sad
People blind to truth everyone focused on the bad
Your heart is super black and always alone
I see a fulvous flower that is perfectly grown
Your attitude is persistant with eyes of a prude
Bills are piling high in this empty room
Life is beautiful, I just want to better things in life the small and simple things that bring peace and joy like flying a kite. When I was younger I always wanted to grow up be like Mike but really I have always been the kid who seen the light.
Most things that come across us appear difficult, that we surrender with no fight
I for once decided to take my flight
To see the good
To forget the bad
What do you see in me?
A taunting, bistre tease.
How am I doing?
Needy, crimson and nieve.
Why dont you listen to me?
Cause you're a jealous, amrthyst jerk.
Do what you want to me.
Tummy aches and tears
When we were little, that marked
a bad day.
Aches and tears can be reactions
to uncomfortable and not so awesome
events.
But aches and tears can be reactions
I rub sleep from my eyes
As I roll away from bed
The sunshine kisses
My forehead
Colors come into view
I see it all
The dust in the air
The paint on the walls
Existing is a blessing in which we all possess.
and yes,
to live a life seeking happiness and love is a life we should select
But to attain each and spread Love and happiness is what we should express
Autism is Awesome
Autism brings negativity and ignites your creativity
Autism can bring you down and Autism can lift you up
Autism brings challenges but Autism creates hard work
In sports you play with one ball
in life you're given one soul
life is like baseball three strikes you're out
only in life three strikes you'r in prison
when you're up you're up
Misused, abused and left sitting confused
Disrespected & rejected
Life is a crooked line,
We all have dreams and aspirations to make that line straight;
Sometimes no matter how hard we try, life gets in the way.
But hope is the driving force in our lives.
Early morning, a couple birds fight and fly
Nothing harmful, just some chirps in the sky
A sleeping girl, her slumber interrupted
Her dreaming soul, cannot be corrupted
When people look at me they judge my appearance.
I don't mind it, it's human nature.
It bothers me when these people choose to define me by their preconceived ideas.
They do not understand history behind a first glance.
The world tosses and turns
As if it is a spinning cyclone
Or a wave you are riding up and down
Mountains dividing but hope is lighting
The way, everyday there is something good
My head has risen up,
curiosity is at it's peak
How do I get out of this?
What even is this?
this barrier that's holding me captive..
I want to get out,
But
How?
I know.
It lies within the smalls things
The first step onto a plane
Over the vast plain
By which no man shall pass
Life.
I have it.
You have it.
Is that not amazing?
Inside of us is
A beating heart,
A strong pulse,
A gentle breath,
But what makes life,
Incredibly surreal,
Onward, ever onward,
Through strife and hardship,
Through trials and tribulations,
I will press on,
Because everything is awesome.
Money is devil
Money makes people forget their mother
man even sometimes their father.
Money is powerful. It turns the nicest person to the most greediest person.
Its turns yourbest friend into a foe
With the promise of each day
comes the promise to begin anew.
Like a tree awakening from winter slumber,
I arise each morning and stretch my branches
toward the seemingly infinite sky,
There was a sea of black ink that spanned all of beyond
It was in this darkness that grew only a void
Until the seeds of life exploded in a burning array
The trip that took all day
The trip that made us say
Well we no longer need to walk today
The trip that made our legs give out
The trip that made us take a rest
But now as we look upon the past
Imagine a land
Skies a orange, purple hue
Where not one blade of grass is bland
And the waters are bright azure blue.
Imagine you are walking,
Feeling the land under your feet;
Awesomeness fills us all around, and sips into our hearts
From the openings in our heads
we
Just another Marble
To light yet to dark huh?
Far more than delicate like us but not strong enough…
These are the lyrics to my life’s song
This is the box that was bestowed upon, me
Everything Is Awesome, Indeed
From the flowers and the trees,
to the humming of the bees,
everything is awesome indeed
From the way you stay a while,
Books, pens, and knowledge galor
so much opportunity is knockng at your door.
Friends, classes and new experiences await
make sure you're on time for that hot date!
Hi, ho, my homie, my bro, how're you doing today?
Feeling kind of blue after the day's been through and stunk a bunch too?
Wonder how lost others are because it's like you're walking in the dark?
Awesome, a word I frequent.
But it’s so appropriate.
THIS IS AWESOME!
Best chant ever.
Wrestling gives my depression the Sweet Chin Music.
My happiness soars higher than Rey Mysterio
Laughter
Independence
Friendships
Expression
Imagination
Smiling
Adventure
Wondering
Endurance
Sincerity
Optimism
The essence of your light is of a dying breed
In a world full of fake facades and grotesque greed
You made passion, care, and joy supersede
The stench of burning cigarettes and greasy pizza perfumes the city air.
A block away and it can be heard blaring from the shop's doorway,
Shattering the sound of car horns with thick, sultry basses and high, sharp guitars.
Movement is bliss
By exchanging a touch between you and the floor
You have experienced a connection
A connection between you and the world
A connection between you and your desires
Before the wars had started
There was no need for peace
In the saftey of homes we lived in
My sister says to me,
"I got that internship",
I say "Awesome!".
My best friend says to me,
"My boss promoted me, today",
I say, "Awesome!".
My counselor says to me,
We the queens spilled out into the French countryside
with lemons in our hair and lavender cigarettes on our lips
The crashing waves remind us of our collapsing upcoming
so we stay away from the salty seashore sidewalks
Like a tree that has weathered a ferocious storm,
Lost its leaves and its branches,
Beseeching the sun to shine again.
Like a bird with an injured wing,
Unable to return to the nest.
The future is far
The destination is there
But the waiting is long
For a future with despair
But hope will shine
In the present, today
As I smile with friends
When I go out to play
We live in a story, we are all just playing pretend waiting on our happy ending and a white picket fence.
Lets continue the story if you dont love me pretend, we spend our whole lives trying to achieve what fiction cant.
I lie upon the grass,
And rhapsodize what has come to pass,
And I ask of thee so pleasantly,
Is it that warm and fuzzy feeling that starts inside,
bubbling and rising,
overflowing our systems,
twistng and turning,
until there is nothing but melodious laughter,
or,
is it the satisfaction,
The exuberant rat scurried right past;
The clock pointers exchange numerations;
What is the use, the tea has steeped.
Sometimes, we forget.
We forget that life is good
And we are loved
And wanted
And important.
We forget that we deserve
And we can desire
And we can want
And we can need.
My life isn't bad
I don't wake up at 4 in the morning
I don't harvest crops 10 hours a day
I don't eat less that what makes me full
I don't worry about paying my bills
but at the same time
An apple never falls far from a tree
As time passes by it has fallen
This is not what he meant when he wished to be free
He yells back into the dark but no one has callen
The want to be anything but YOU happens to be inevitable
Basic is how you feel, not "pretty enough" is what you are told
And you want to be, but what does it mean "To Be"?
LOVE IS AWSOME
Life is love, people are love, we are meant to Love, we are here because of Love.
Love is awesome.
Another day, wake up and perform.
Sun rays and brain waves.
The memory of sweet Earth, dim.
The feeling of rough sand, barely grating.
Caress this moment like the bitter end, no one knows it is.
I am a young Chicana
Destined for failure
I am a young Chicana
Who has one parent
I am a young Chicana
Who lives in a bad neighborhood
I am a strong Chicana
That helps financially
Know what's awesom?
How every situation
has a positve aspect.
No matter how upsetting
or stressful.There's always some way to take
that experienceand use it to grow and learn.
There's water in the sink
Food in the fridge
A mind to think
A roof over my head
A loving heart
A dog that doesn't shed
Eyes that can see
Lungs to help me breathe
For all that is bad, there's some good that will come
With the heaviest of rain, you'll appreciate the sun
I love to pet dogs,
With their hairy paws,
Stick bone or ball,
They love in their jaws.
Have been at our side,
For thousand of years,
Accompanying tears,
I've always been known as the girl who is always smiling, always walking with a pep in her step, and always laughing all the time
I'm also the girl who has received tons of hatred from many people who don't understand my happiness
Sad music;
bright eyes welling up with tears.
Tender, passing moments
knowing my friends love me
and I love them.
Movies with the family;
Saturday mornings as a child.
Forgiveness.
The cat's claws clack
On the hard floor
As it quickly changes tack-
Watch out for the door!
Everything has its own touch,
Depending on your view...
My pencil just ran out of lead. How convenient!
The new puppy whizzed on the floor. Just beautiful!
Beauty and brains is what makes me amazing. I'm like a kid in a colorful and vibrant candy store. When you all the children and smiling with joy.
I struggle to pay for my college education and it hurts so much to just think about the heart ache. And the pain and all that has to do with money for college. I would like to be able to pay for the rest of my education.
There are many things in life one cannot choose.
Parents, family, or even who they lose.
But how you feel when you wake up and how you live your life
Can be simpler than choosing to be man and wife.
When days feel hopeless,
When stress threatens sanity,
Focus on the little joys of life.
A child's laugh
The scent of spring flowers
Warm coffee on a cold day
A book with worn covers on a rainy night
Social Media is a game controling our life.
Loging on to Facebook
Recieving "Likes"
Logging on to Twitter
Receiving "Favorites"
Logging on to Vine
Receiving "Revines"
I wake up
To the biggest smile,
The sweetest eyes
I have ever seen.
They belong to
My husband.
My Sam.
He takes care of me.
He supports me.
He loves me.
My Sam.
I once was lost; I was dead to the world.
My sins were dark; Time stood still.
I left my God; He almost hurled.
But then He gave me a choice, called free will.
Now I am found, my transgressions are thrown.
Seeing the sky
Clouds fly by
Wind brushes your skin
And rain sprinkles the air
Isn't it wonderful
Hearing the sounds of the world
Even if you don't know
I smell a small, sweet, rose.
it's petals are dry. Her stem is hard. .
But her core is gold.
Each month has something that makes it special
September has Labor day
October Halloween
November is Thanksgiven
and December has from Hannuka,Kwanza, and Christmas
January has New years
Football
is a brotherhood
tested time and again
we stand tall
get hit
and hurt
but we gather around
listen to the sounds
of our friends
our family
our fans
Take a minute to relive your day.
Did the sound of a coffee grinder wake you up a little too early?
After you walked downstairs to shower,
did you trip on the last step?
Did you lose an arm?
How about a leg?
Are you reading this now?
Then you can do it again.
Never give up.
I have the essentials, that many people cannot rely on
food
shelter
water
air
Filled with pride, covered in cocoa,
she stands tall, despite her height.
She makes being a black woman look so effortless
so chic, so exclusive.
She makes herself look so effortless,
so chic, so exclusive.
Sitting on the cold tile of our high school floor
My Best friend said to me
For such a good person "Karma" sure doesn't like you
You see a series of things had seemed to go wrong
Who are you to me,but a man lost in his own misery.
Who are you to me,How can we trust you with your recent history?
Who are you to me,when honest words from your mouth are a rarity.
In this world of hatred, I choose to stick with love.
Rather than giving in to darkness, I will rise above.
In this world of hatred, I choose to find joy,
Because my determination cannot be destroyed.
I wake up two minutes before my alarm goes off, and I lay in the darkness
In that time I wait. Just wait. Because in two minutes my alarm will go off.
Use to live life on the bare minium
now I'm going and choosing and getting some
I had to find it in me
couldn't see clearly
thought i would never be successful until i saw the beauty in a day
in another way
Everything is awesome
And so I smile big
The summer blues won't get me down
No, I won't be afraid.
Everything is awesome
They keep telling me that's true
The weather's great, just hang with friends
There is a fine line between believing the world is goodand lying to yourself to lull you into a peaceful sleep.
When the sun shines bright,
And your loved one holds you tight,
Everything feels right.
Awesome; a word that communicates awe.
Awe; an expression that encompasses
a vast spectrum of emotions.
Will; the name of my love,
who constantly fills me with awe.
The man who inspires my hopes
What is 'AWESOME?'
Another day that
We see God's glory and
Eternal presence?
Safety from the dark
Awesome awesome
it doesnt take much
to awe some
different people
remember something
we are equal
remember something
we are sequals
of the past
all the wrong
Gran always told me do not discourage
Life is a pro at knocking you down,
But you have to dig deep to find the courage
To fight your way to the surface rather than drown.
I sing not of the lavish or mighty or grand.
Nor do I sing of religion or a promised land.
I sing not of what science cannot yet explain;
My song is of things rather more plain.
Our world is pretty neat
Listen outside to the little birds tweet.
Sometimes things like the news, people around you, and stress
get you down
But this is a day that the Lord hath made so spin around that frown.
I hope you look in the mirror one day
and stand tall and proud
with your wonderful face
and beautiful eyes.
I hope you look at yourself with so much love
that the world around you can feel it radiating
Wake up and think to myself,
Damn, I still wanna sleep.
Wake up and thank God that I'm alive.
Get up and do my daily routine.
I got school and work,
that's what I see.
I do the same shit every day.
In which there is a debate between an optimist and a pessimist.
If you don't know what either means, don't be embarrassed.
An optimist always thinks that the world is full of hope.
Flying straight through the pier,With my arms raised to my sides,A sensation offered only,In California,
Many are confused, in a way,
by the manner of which I start each day.
I spout,
"Everything is awesome, wouldn't you say?"
They query, " If I may...
Why is today such a great day?"
When people ask me "what is the good in life?",
I tell them it's easy, effortless to say,
But to see, you must look past the anger ran rife,
When I walked past the mirror
I saw this thing looking at me
It was brown
Brown hair
Brown eyes
Brown skin
Brown mind
Brown which represents the soil with which I will plant my seeds
They might give odd advice.
They might give slightly sexist or slightly inapporiate advice.
But advice is advice.
If they gave me advice, that means they pay attention to me.
Words are my favorite
They flutter on the pages
Of crisp papers
Handcrafted letters
One seven letter word possesses the capabilities to completely transform the world.
Let’s start from the very beginning
You don’t exactly start off winning
But you never really lose
Starting out with four years of high school,
using your mind as your ultimate tool.
Completing your assignments and finding time for friends,
the list of memories never ends.
How does one know when all is well?
Don't worry, there's an aswer to the question,
There's no wrong answer, but seek the answer in the lesson
It was as simple as the words that you see me typing,
Life is awesome, I say, why you may ask
Life works in mysterious ways
It gives people gratitude
It gives people hope
I love you more than yesterday.
No one thought I was ready;
They said I was too young.
I would ruin my future-
when it was all said and done.
Some called it crazy, but
You, my friend, can be an everyday hero.
You may not know this, but you have powers.
Well not like a the ones you see in the comics and movies,
But you still have powers that really matter.
"Butterflies are a sign from God," she said,
with no devotion to a diety of her own.
"It means things are or will be okay,"
her grandfather used to say.
I saw a butterfly today.
It fluttered past and around,
Just because they are family.
Just because they are your origin.
It doesn't mean you are their toy.
You aren't a faceless being that moves to their tunes.
They saying that you are less than you are
Earth is a planet that is considered one of a kind,
It’s the only place that has nature of every kind.
A place where people are allowed to speak their own mind,
Awesome.
What is awesome in this world?
Freedom of religion, freedom to love whomever you please.
Aid to study further, cures for disease.
Clean water and transportation for the elderly.
There are many awesome things to write about.
Like the new 3-D printer, or the sequel to National Lampoon's Vacation.
But what about feelings?
Life Is Awesome
What is a tossum?
I don’t know because life is awesome
One does not need to know the squares and roots of algebra
To see the stripes of a zebra
You're awesome, people tend to forget how awesome they are.
Some look at themselves and see a half empty jar
I'm here to remind you, remind you by far
Of just how awesome, you all really are!
Sometimes things in life get hard.
sometimes things go smoothly.
Life might go smooth if you have a black card.
I wish life was like how it is in those movies.
There is a thing that we all must go through, A thing called Life that takes every individual on a different cruise Of course ups and downs play a major part in this cycle, But it is only through the bad times that we truly learn the value of th
I am a Queen, a supreme human being
I bleed gold and my words are bold
I am a Black Queen, though it may not be easy being green
Being black can be just as bad, sometimes even sad
But as a Queen, I take pride
Golden skies whisper “breathe easy”
as my car rolls along the gravel road
and I’m finally on my way home
sitting in the middle of a crowded room
hanging on tightly to an unmarked tomb
what is this face that keeps haunting me
could this be the face of death i see
memories fantasies visions in my head
Awesome.
She is awesome.
He is awesome.
Young is awesome.
Old is awesome.
Poor is awesome.
Rich is awesome.
White is awesome.
Black is awesome.
Fat is awesome.
Good grades
Good school
Good job
Good husband
Good life
But what if,
We can't pay
We make the grades
We made the school
But what is stopping us?
I feel so awesome
From the time I wake up back to the time I go to sleep
When I look in the mirror to see my melanin skin I become the happiest human being in the world
Life is so sweet,
Everywhere we go people stop and see,
Radiance and positivity reflecting off of me.
Making grey skies blue,
How you choose to see the world is all up to you.
Course oatmeal-colored fabric lays idly by, snipped from it a two yard segment stretched across the carpet, its corners tugged to sharp angles.
Since May ninety-seven she's stood by my side,
As she smiled and kissed and hugged me tight,
And year following year she's been my guide;
BEEP! BEEP! Covers over my head and burrow into that cool pillow.
Too early. Too late last night. Too much work, too much think about.
Then, I remember. I remember her. Her smile, her smell, her limbs like a willow
Have you felt like life was screaming back at you?
Ever felt like you are alone?
The nights you spent soaking pillows,
with salty tears of mourn?
Remember days where you feel like you're worthless,
The pelican can't hide his beakTo win "The Best Bird of the Week"With dingy plumage and odd physiqueThe gangly pelican't.
She wakes up with a hunger in her eyes
All around her she sees the good
Everything around her is so understood
Others see the calories, she just sees the pies
Expect troubles in your future
Very small, and very large.
Expect hard times for you to endure
rest afterwards, time to recharge.
You feel emotions you want to deploy
the air is fine
and i must say
with the pass of ticks of time
i make my way so
with my style
i live
i smile
i learn to play.
From building worlds
You’re leaving me.
After sixteen years of constant contact,
Secret confidences,
You’ll be gone.
The memories I have of you
Are already blurring,
Obscured by time or tears into a single entity,
Money is the root of all evil.
There has never been a more true statement.
Trying to make it this day and age,
without a penny to your name-
you aren't entitled to fame and fortune.
On a sunny warm day
On the seashore bay,
Sat two little kids
Squinting through the sun's ray.
They build their little castle
with sand and clay
only to see that
the water waves swept it away
This world is a wonderful place,
For everyone to embrace,
It might not be fair always,
But will console with ever grace.
During times of despair,
You won't find time to spare,
Surely there's a reason there
Somewhere in gossamer wind
For all the darkly depressions
That hold so tight my friend
Boston has been around since 1630
A place surrounded by water that’s dirty
Although the water is not pristine
The hearts of the people sure are clean
My family is awesome, they are my world. They may be different, but they sure are gifted. They are loving, caring, and seems to me like they are always there. During the most difficult times they are sure to be by my side, close and near.
Behind every rough patch yes,
there is a silver lining
Behind every broken window
The light still shines through.
Light.
What a wonderful word.
Light.
Media,
Media shapes what is awesome and what is lame in our society
Fear,
Fear stops us from loving ourselves and embracing our inner-awesome because we are afraid that society will look down upon our hair,
Everything is awesome.
You might ask “why?”
Finding reasons is simple
For one as awesome as I.
I have a roof over my head
And some shoes on my feet.
I have coats for the winter
I look up and see joy in your blue and green piercing eyes
You make me whole, Your the best young individual in my life, your apart of me, and I'd do anything for you.
You keep me positive everyday during the struggle.
I woke up from a bad dream, where I found that everything was wrong.
The water was frozen and the air was warm.
The birds were running and the fish were flying
And I really really felt like dying.
"We're moving" they told me.
Too young to protest, I packed up the memories I'd acquired.
Fat, Ugly, Black, and Dumb,
Words that often make me numb.
My body is nothing of your concern,
Body positivity is what I have learned because
I Am Awesome
Rolls that jiggle,
Hips that wiggle,
I find it disgusting that people are so ignorant
I find it startling that women are not equal to men
I find it appalling that some children are deprived of nutrients
When I was little I was so innocent that I could be,
I didn't know the world had more to see.
Waking up for school so young and shy,
Getting on the bus with guys so sly.
Ice cream came around recess time,
It rains quite a bit in my neck of the woods, but when the rain stops and the sky clears up, I enjoy the hell
As the runner comes closer and closer to the finish line, barely behind the opponent, the soon-to-be winner, he thinks, “I don’t want to lose this race!”
Gratitute towards life overwhelms me
I go about my day in optimism and curiousity
Productivity is the fuel
it is funny to think that out of thousands of days
lived by the hour, the minute, the second
we only keep a few moments
and it is funny to think that in a world going a mile a minute
Life is like an awesome waterfall.
Beyond all seen is light felt through song.
A beautiful melody and soulful rythum.
Past all thought is all.
While substance grandiose sent is greater than nothing unfinnished.
Walking through life's thought,
how much does it take to hurt the worse,
pain of my childhood rushing by "ouch",
so many sigh, just thinking about which time is the best time to cry,
Why look at the bad
Just because the good's standing behind?
Why take time to be mad,
When happiness is what you want to find?
Why fold to stress
When patience will mold you a better way?
Hello! Attached is a video I made for my poem, if you could watch that as well. Let it load a little if it doesn't work right away. Thank You, Enjoy and Share the Poem with others!
College is like a concert.You get there, you park and move yourself in to stay for a while.
I get to see the sun shine and that bright blue sky
All the cars on my street passing me by
I don’t know what the driver is feeling
Your lungs are collpsing from the feeling of despair,
That feeling inside seems to be too much to bear,
But slowly you breathe,
And time begins to cease,
And you realize just how much worse that it could be,
I used to think it was the end,
That I was all alone
Without even a friend.
I wondered how some people sat on a throne,
While I went about
With my head down,
Wanting to shout
My dear friend you can rest assured
Love will heal the damage caused by war
Don't you worry about the rain
You won't know joy without some pain
Don't stop to think how long it will take
The Awesome Powers of Positivity
A gloomy day clouds surround the bright light of life,
A simple smile could do away away with any struggle,
Everythng Is AWESOME!
It's a New Day!
A Time to Refres and Be a Greater You!
Yes, meaning that GREAT is Already in YOU!
Everything is AWESOME!
Me - Him - Her - YOU!
I wither my life on a deserted island,
Accursed to spend eternity awaiting a stray hero[1] !
A hero who will use me, and a man who will abuse me
“Bow down!”
says the enemy;
“Bow down before me!”
We will not kneel, however;
We will not yield to animosity
even as his banner waves up high—
placard of antipathy
in the country of equality.
Striving to find myself
It is difficult
There are many forks
And not enough guidance
I want to choose
but my mind grows blank
Decisions decide your life
May it be bad or good
you decide
I have not one favorite color
I see them all the same
but the three that wave proudly
break rank and have names
the red flows freely
like blood from the heart
it stands for something gruesome
I'm not inspired by earth's lovely things
the birds, the trees, the autumn breeze.
What makes this world awesome
Could it be the air we all breathe
Or did you fight and defeated something that didn’t come with ease
Is it the lushness of the trees
A 5 year sentence of bad luck
I didnt know my life could run such a muck
from my cancer to the loss of my father
i started to wonder... Should I even bother.
I tried to stay positive for I knew better
I didn't choose the life I have
I didn't set my place
People have hurt me
abused and cursed me
And I've been stitching myself together
So I may not be perfect
Everything I see,
Everything in reach,
From the biggest sea
To the ripest peach,
Is a living legacy.
You see, Everything is Awsome,
From the blooming lossom
To the sneaky possum.
I remember once when I was conversating,
and I was waiting,
for the person's ignorance to wear out
Because I realized,
with new found real eyes,
that even wisemen have their doubts
The pitter patter of your footsteps upstairs.
Optimus Prime and Thomas the Train.
The way you view the world
With a pure, childish innocence.
For years, I asked and pleaded
All I knew is that when she spoke to me, softly.
It was so loud.
“How come I am three times too big, and the room is three times too small?”
I could see her fading into the wallpaper.
I didn’t understand how a Ruby could question that.
She was...
Sometimes I think about who I really am.
Too often I am confused.
Everybody tried to categorize me but these
Poeple have no clue.
Holes left in the judgements that people try to make
Everything about you is awesome
You don't just awe some, you awe everyone
From the way you say “good morning”
To the way you cut your sandwiches
You are a product of awesome
I was born … Only to be blamed for human’s existence on earth
My essence, inside and out, blends into the definition of pure evil
The love that is shared is brighter than any sunrise
It's the kind of love in romance novels
Truly understood by the old and wise
Creeping up and infecting you with its venom
Dancing in your veins
The feeling of closing my eyes
as sleep puts me under its' drug,
amazing and relaxing.
Dreaming of all the goals I could accomplish
that seems impossible to achieve,
hopeful but not reassuring.
What good can come of death?
Life
Of a Problem?
A solution
Of an explosion?
The universe
Life has it's ups and downs,
but you can't bounce if you never fall
Your dreams and desires is what make you
But when its about you it breaks you
You change someone everyday
But you wouldn't know
Because it's only about you
You wanna be the person of your dreams
Plato believed that we’d never understand anything around us
because everything around us is the palest of illusions
veiling their true definitions.
In which case, I’m screwed
December 13, 2013
591 days have passed since
A Queen released her self-titled album
Everything is awesome
When you live in a bubble with saran wrap and the packaging tissues to make a perfect bow
Everything is awesome when you can stick to the dictating ideals that society has placed
The media,
The blooming and fading of flowers makes me tired but never resentful,
The rain and snow over the four seasons makes me fascinated but never tired.
Don't think twice
Sacrifice!
The ones you love will fade away
The ones who care are always there
To keep them close to your heart
One must offer as a start
Sacrifice!
Don't be shy
at one moment I didn't have hope
I thought school was a joke
i played around
joked
thinking my grades would still be passing
To whom do I owe this grim despair?
Myself for things that seem foretold
If love gives life hath I no air
A yielding heart and blood run cold
Some nights I lie awake and dream
You may not think it
But everything is awesome.
That cloud that looks like a dog,
It's awesome.
That gymnast doing all those flips,
She's awesome.
Getting a few hours to relax,
They're that friend that's always there.
Their laugh, that smile, it resignates everywhere.
For some strange reason their warmth always invades your own
and it's amazing.
Blue skies, a sunrise, a new day has started.
Take a walk, see everything you love, then you say you heart it.
This shows your love; your love and appreciation.
Don't let the small things bring you down,
They're only here for a short while,
It's easy not to drown,
All you have to do is smile.
It seems like everyone easily forgets,
Everything is AWESOME!
First of all, there's flight.
How can anything stay up in spite
Of gravity and human thoughts?
Initially, we all thought the world was flat.
Now we know that idea is old hat.
She does not wear a mask,
not for her protection but instead
she leaves her mark on everyone,
with the subtle smile that never disappears.
Not everyone can see the small bit of grace about her,
in the cracks on a sidewalkunder a [pigeon’s] eggin the middle of a bustling highwayon a church pewin the eye’s of a [pretender]in-between the [worms] in the groundsailing in the clouds
I wake up every morning
Only to live another day,
To block away the world
as I continue
All around you
Wonder and delight
Ensure that this world isn't a
Shithole.
Only, people choose not to notice!
Memories plagued by dispair. Open your
Eyes.
“Glass Half Full”
I look around the room
And what do I see?
Nothing but beautiful people smiling at me
So many awesome things to do that I don’t want to sleep
But even to sleep is to dream which is awesome
So many awesome dreams to dream that I don’t want to wake
From the wrinkles in a dress to a hot summer day
To the clouds up above and galaxies far away.
Life offers many awesome things that we should love.
Here’s a few more that I can think of:
Desperation kicks in, fear and anxiety an anchor to fall
Breathe,
Peace is evident, hope is powerful
The sea is thick, the water too heavy an anchor to drown
Breathe,
Isn't it awesome that
Everyday is a fresh start
Everyday a chance has been given make change if you are unhappy
Everyday we grow older and wiser
Everyday we learn something new
1. LIGHT
In the light,
Sight is inevitable.
You can feel your feet stable on the concrete.
You can anticipate crossing those cracks in the sidewalk just a few yards ahead,
Everything is awesome?
While others may claim such, I must disagree.
I'll tell you what's not:
Waking up in the morning to find out that you're alive,
That's awesome.
Seeing those people laugh uncontrollably for no reason,
That's awesome.
Being able to breathe in fresh air or see the world grow,
Even now, as you sit at my slippered feet
Your youthful eyes so full of hope, so
Unhardened by the terrors of the world,
Look up at the sky
Millions of stars as far as the eye can see
Each one a small miracle
That seems far beyond our reach
Seems like we wait
For that miracle, something grand
This headache I got, this stress I'm in....
The finish line is so far away in order for me to win, but I just wanna finish.
I start up my mornings with a nice early shower.
That’s how I start my day. You may start that way too.
Perhaps you prefer evenings for taking showers,
But does that make me more awesome than you?
Oh, what ground we stand on.
Oh, this terrace of collision and space.
Where is it that we call anew?
Where do we turn?
Facing old is unnatural and unseemly.
None is precedent for novel.
her feet knocks the ground over and over again on a quick thud and her heartbeat is in her ears
she feels it catching up on her with a shrieking cry and
I am walking through my own thoughts
My mind is foggy with distractions
I have only one goal in mind
that's to catch the light at the end of the tunnel
I have went through so many obstacles to get to where i am now
Everything around me,
The sounds that astound me,
The cerebral sensations stay,
Through the glowing light of each day.
This taste of life as it passes by,
It amazes me, drives me,
How awesome it is; life
The sun rises
birds sing their melodeous tune-
earth's alarm clock some might say
Tea kettles alarm
Coffee brews
Yawns plague
Dreamland fades
Life is like the sky.
Somedays it's bright,
when life has reached it's high.
Other times it's night,
when life has taken a turn
for the worse.
Fear not, for the tides will return.
even with all this time
you've been on my mind
mama
some nights I fall asleep
drenched in sweat from
this vicious nightmare
a daughters weep
waking up with tears as I lay
My eyes have seen many wonders of this world
The streches of the Amazon River
thats water leaks from my soul
The ashen color of the Great Wall
which inspires my feet to continue on their journey in this life
Oh dismal day,
our loving mother has passed away.
Disease struck her and became too strong,
we soon knew death would come along.
She did not deserve a painful end,
Hope
Changes you.
You can see it
In faces and demeanors.
It makes you taller, brighter, healthier
It is a light
When you are traveling through pitch black
Hope is all around us.
Get up. Open my eyes. Today begins.
The reality that it must begin is what scares me.
It waits like a resolute samurai at the threshold – Here is your sword, we must begin the battle before we are overcome.
Everything; that's awesome.
You need only to believe it.
But everything ain't what I've got.
So let me tell you why I'm screaming.
In the city people act as though their lives are worth a dime
Pretty Awesome
What it is it that makes me “Pretty Awesome”?
Pretty, adjective, pleasing or attractive to the eye, as by delicacy or full of grace
Sometimes life is hard.
No one tells you the work it takes.
Sometimes, there are rough things
Things that tear you down inside.
I've heard it takes breaking down to get back up,
It's almost time
The time where I really work to pave that pathway
That path that'll become the prime
I try to reach my utmost potential
But only to witness that I can't hold that title
As I took my first glance at the world,
You cried
As I took my first step,
Love was once
A ring sunk
Through my tongue;
It was a promise.
One of dedication
In its most beautiful form
Of danger and pain...
That ring,
It once bled me -
Someone who listens when you have something to say.
Someone who cries with you every step of the way.
She knows what you like without even asking.
She knows how to dance when it's time for basking.
Each step taken is another place moved.
Each word spoken is another breath breathed.
Each speech given is another passion found.
Each song played is another love created.
Yes everything may be awesome
but what strikes me most
is the light filtering throught the trees
and the pen gliding across
starch
white
paper
see everything is there to be seen
Our minds
Live with us
From our first gasp
For air
Until our final
Dying breath.
Our minds
Know us better
Than any other person
I see self in the mirror
I see strength in my bones
i see wealth in my wizdom
i see no harm in my home
I see God in my life
I see love in my family
i see direction in my mistakes
The rain’s falling down
Across the waves
Which bring me closer to you.
The sun’s shining down
She is soft, like the slow kiss of a crisp autumn night, yet strong, like the determined root of a beautiful cherry tree
Dark Skinned, Light Skinned, No color should be ashamed
No matter what our complexion is, it all feels the same.
Oh, the yeses and no’s, chocolates, vanillas,
Blues and yellows, fuchsias, manilas –
I’m afraid I can be quite undecided.
Down-to-earth, yes, but so indecisive.
For me, choosing favorites is never easy . . .
Awesome, a word that is used quite a bit
Whether going to the gym and trying to get fit
Or eating everything you want. Stay happy
Some days are hard and some seem crappy
Into the world I peer
Of passion and worldly desires
Running after the things we want
For dreams and passions burn as bright as forest fires.
I see the world’s magnitude and spectrum
Just a girl.
Bittersweet, just the right combination.
They sold her lies...
But she constantly believed them.
What can I say?
She didn't know any better.
Just a girl.
16, about to be a mother.
I want you to close your eyes,
And picture clear skies.
Imagine pretty places,
Smiles on familiar faces.
Soft kisses in the rain,
Bandages for the pain.
See boys and girls alike,
Voice low
Words flow
Emotions grow.
Fleeting, flying, flashing
A song is everlasting.
Every note a tiny fire
Dancing on a wire.
Soul engraved in stone
This soldier goes unknown.
You said I was your flower,
but I’m a garden.
Marigolds watered with my tears are wilting in the shade.
Pale peonies suffocate the withered daisies.
Muted magenta basil blossoms swallow the bloodied roses.
Dear Past
You labored children
You will never see
And still had the
Courage to strive to be free
You took a stand
And stood so tall
For those you would
A-W-E-S-O-M-E it can be used for everything
Look at the sky
How about the birds that fly
Or maybe the fish in the sea
Or simply one bee
Dogs and cats may fight
But things will be alright right
What do I like about you best?
Hmm...I think I like your eyes the best?
The way they peer at me with interest
As they stay stuck on me
Or maybe it's your ears
They tell me more than your lips do
you both promised
i thought your words were gold
now i know why they call it a knife in the back
my heart feels like you've wrenched it out
the two that were once the closest
have never felt so far
With a single touch of her hand,
I am overwhelmed with a sensation that floods my entire body.
What a strange sensation this is…
It's 3 PM and my jammies are still on, I've scored a free Saturday I haven’t had one of these in so long!
Why do I cry?
Why do I mourn?
Why can't I see all that is good around me?
Everything is in gray
Nothing matters
I refuse to let anything change the mood I have decided I deserve
For the colors that are there but we walk through them
For the sounds of nature we hear but don't listen to
For the people that surround us but we ignore
The world brings us down, it pushes us around.
They say we’re not smart enough, they say we can’t win,
They say we are spiraling down, spiraling and then…
She is 1959 miles away
27 hours driving with no traffic
Or 4 hours and 10 minutes on a nonstop flight
That costs $409
To earn $409
At $10 an hour
Is 40 hours and 54 minutes of work
She ran with shoes in hand. Her silk stockings padded against the gold flecked floor. This place was too beautiful for her. Too full of life for a dead girl.
Butterflies. Could they exist without it?
What about flowers? What about days and nights? What about sunsets? Sunrises? Rainbows? Stories? Songs? You?
What about you?
Could you exist without it?
You Want Awesome
I'll give you two words
My Daddy
If you were ever wondering how exactly he was so awesome
I am here to tell you
Exactly who he is
You may have seen him at Suntrust
As I sit and watch
The wonders that I thought
Would take place before I leave
However as I see
You smiling there at me
The memories of adventures flood back to me
Yellow dough rolled around spiced fish,
Orange-tinted, soft, buttery kisses in every bite,
Bringing me back to times
When I was loved by so much.
The pre-school teacher's smile as bright
It's the last day, the final score
I fought my battles hard and I won my war
But I'm not done (3x)
And although I'm not done
I don't give up hope
Searching in the dark
For just one rope (3x)
Oh yes, I am so humble
The entire world can see
that my awesomeness stems
from my profound humility.
Every day I see the signs
of a person just and kind.
Oh yes, I am so humble.
Everybody's different,
And that's fascinating
Everyone's story
Can be captivating.
The tales of their victories,
Their triumphs, their deeds,
The tales of their failures and
Nature
Nature is one of the most powerful forces on the planet:
By its hand, we live
And we die.
When I see your face I know I can make it through today.
When I hear your voice I know yesterday’s pain doesn’t matter.
When I feel your touch I know that the world is full of possibilities.
Our minds ae going insane.
Viewing screens and pushing buttons so much robots are in our veins.
So hard to remain focused. Attention is all we want.
Guns in hands and drugs make friends. Everything is becoming blunt.
You can't catch me, I'm black AND proud
They say I'm a target, just because I'm brown
But i dont ever front, 'cause they'll catch their round
I pick myself up when they knock me down
Maybe,
we'll go down in a blaze of glory,
or in the silence of time.
Maybe,
there won't be another one,
just a mountainous climb.
Maybe,
I'm tired,
or just disillusioned.
Maybe,
To say I was in awe at the sightOf my young sister slipping through the fetid hands of a devilWould be putting it lightlyA fetus twisted and kicked inside me
Sometimes she imagined a boy on the road
He’d stand below the window
Just out of sight, in the shadows
While she dressed or undressed
Crying or dancing
Or navigating the bed
It was exciting
Among the air we breathe,
and the flowers which wreathe,
come the elements of nature.
Mockingbirds that sing,
birds using their wings,
are the sounds of nature.
The wind blowing,
Beep. Beep. Beep.
Every. Single. Day.
Wake up. Get Ready. Go to school. Go to work. Sleep. Repeat.
People to greet, deadlines to meet, tests to take, party too late, Ugh!
There is NO time!
Look out, what do you see?
A Child? A Bird? A Cat? A Tree?
I see a world, one of possibilities.
You see the dirt. The grass. The seeds.
I see life sprouting through me.
The walls of hospitals have heard more prayers than churches.Murders, now-a-day, are framed as “rescue and searches.”Corruption has led to civilian insurgents.But not everything is bad.
My life is barren
And don't you ever think
That joy is boundless
For I know for a fact
Sorrow waits around the corner
And I don't care that
Life has its days
I've known from the beginning
From a young age I am taught the way this world works.
My shorts can't be too short and my bra strap can never show.
Yet your pants can sag to the point where I can see your boxers?
Life as I know it is really nothing but awesome
We live each day how we desire
And we each, as humans, learn to grow and blossom
As we watch others and silently admire
Everything is awesome,
As we all know.
The sun, the moon the stars,
The flowers and the snow.
But I, myself am awesome.
To myself. To me.
The way my lungs fill with air;
Life.
The word awesome is itself awesome
I feel awesome when I hear the word “Awesome!”
It is awesome when I reach my sibling to the sky
And hear her happiest laughter every day,
It is awesome to make a mistake
Remember that time I was at home, sick, miserable and hopeless as ever?Hearing your voice made me feel better again. Remember that time I failed a math test and couldnt stop crying?
You sometimes tuck yourself into bed to hide from society.
You sometimes ask yourself why everything seems so hard.
You sometimes write, complain, and cry into your diary.
Her words were never heard
they were never spoken.
She created her own language
through her eyes, her vibrant sapphire eyes.
We grew up together, her and I...
and yet she never really grew up,
Been making so many mistakes, Regrets keep me up late. Swimming in waterfalls, Drowning in "what if’s". All of this pressure got me feeling like Mayweather with his hope of winning every fight that’s why I’m giving it my all in every round.
A million paths, all lead to one.
You either lived life to the fullest or wait till it’s done.
I’m ecstatic, I am scared.
Doing what I love to do with the thrill of the unknowing.
Random acts of kindness to the strangers we don’t know.
Anonymously letting our secret personality show.
We are humans that have universes living within.
"What is awesome?" a teenage boy asked me today
"Far too many things seem to get in the way..."
"What is awesome about being an adult? There's far too much that seems to be at fault"
I stand here; stranded in the fierce light of creation.
It will be shy, like the expression upon my face;
It gets attention, like the empire state building I see out
I think it's awesome but
sometimes I tend to complain about it.
But, my family,
It's an aspect of life.
I couldn't live without it.
Yes, it has it ups and downs.
As I lay here my mind drifts off
the beauty of the sky seems a deeper blue than usual
the trees hold many surprises
as their golden leaves drift across a field of green grass
The sun is bright with few clouds in sight as it is early and far from being night. As I cast into the wind and a deep breath as I begin the wait for another bite.
A cumbersome, catatonic existence can burn at my handsand I'll keep the torch with me, an old friend caught between young palms,ash and emotion make me stand:
To my brothers and sisters with that beautiful melanin flowing through their veins:
I know you’re tired. I feel it. I turn on the news and I am exasperated.
Could I write a Poem
I’ve written one before
In my head for that cute girl,
Written down to read allowed
A poem, always seemed to me
More work than it ought to be
Filled with fear and wonder,
At the foot of the throne
Knowing every fault and blunder
I had made on my own.
I fell to my knees
Hoping He could not see
The deadly disease
Thoughts & Words of Advice From a High School Senior
Were you awesome in high school?
2400 SAT
Who made you as phenomenal as you are?
God above had to pick out the perfect cambus to embace all your beauty.
Life is awesome.
Life is beautiful.
We wake up every day blessed to be alive.
Blessed to be a part of this world and experience it for what it is.
i'd be a liar if i said that i was not afraid
every day of my life, i'd be a liar if i said
i was confident in everything i do- but i would
also be a liar if i said i wasn't in love with
When I was a little girl
I was taught God made the world
In seven days
Just as it is now,
And at the end of each new day,
He’d look at his work and say
Of all of his creation,
“It is good”
I’m breaking.
Snapping in two like a pencil gripped two hard
Scarred, like I stepped on a piece of glass
Thinner than a blade of grass
Trapped inside my fingertip
Then I slip
Everything that makes us different
Makes us extraordinary
Be it the color of our skin,
The music we listen to,
The clothes we wear.
Differences make us unique,
Awesome.
When I think about life
sometimes tears come to my eyes.
The lack of money I have
at times causes me strife.
But then I remember my goals
and what’s to unfold.
Then I remember my blessings
A book can be diminutive or tall.
The print can be massively large or small.
Never judge a book by its cover,
She is awesome. She reminds of the sun rising
I want to explore her crevasses and visit her horizon
I want to feel the heat from her solar flares
And it"s awesome how one is blinded by her beauty if they start to stare
Although I may not live in a two- story house,
One with a game room and a leather couch,
I may not have a 20 acre yard
Where I could run and play with a pedigreed St. Bernard,
My small island may seem like a small speck on the map
But many do not know the journeys one can unwrap
A land tiny in size but massive in heart
My culture and I are never apart
Most underestimate the power we hold
Bring him a tissue, news is hard to bear,
O the poor young man! One lost family friend.
Heaven took an angel and left a snail,
Lovely vocals he sang, and produced more than
The slug whose songs haven't yet a name.
Everything is awesome?Surely not
Then, nothing is awesome?Surely not
That which is, arguably, is notAnd that which is not, arguably, is
Then, nothing is?Surely not
Waking up in the morning is Awesome.
Living life is Awesome.
Walking and Talking is Awesome.
Your life is Awesome.
You may Strggle
But getting pass it is what make you Awesome.
You may face fear
Appling for collage is not fun
And if I could I would be done.
Even now up to this day
You and I remain the same
I'm pretty sure you'll finish first
You'll write and write and write away.
Have you ever stopped to wonder
Why everything is awesome?
Maybe it’s the lightening and the thunder
Or the flowers that blossom.
Suppose it could be the air we breathe
You open your eyes to a slither of sunlight peeking through the curtains in your bedroom,while some never wake from their sleep.You walk outside to feel the warmth of the sun kiss your skin,
All is not lost
Even if the world is trembling down..
Hold on to your ground
For the havoc is just passing by
My Friend Katie
This friend gives confidence with every smile
She make you want to stay awhile
Laughter floats down the halls
We wake up,
we arise and we breathe.
we can feel, we can see.
we can sense the energy of everything around us.
we have emotion,
we get excited,
we get sad.
People tell me I need to act like an adult
But only when
I am moody
I am pessimistic
I am stressed
I am ungrateful
I am annoying
I am childish
People tell me I’m only a child
The power is within you
choose anything to do
to learn
to dream
to live
It's all up to you
Maybe you wish to travel the world
meeting people, experiencing the unimaginable.
Music has an important natural element, its called potency. When I listen to music I feel an uplift in me.
Music has an abundance of awesomeness, which is amazing. I have a fetish for music it keeps me craving.
Everything is not "awesome"
not everything is cool
its okay not to be a team
some dreams aren't lived
you have to find your awesome
and find a dream to live
There I was only nine years old
Learning what's right and what's wrong, but doing nothing that I am told
The smell of green, freshly cut grass,
A firey, orange sunset bringing joy
Getting an A in that difficult class,
Being asked to the prom by that one boy
Listening to your favorite song
When people say "the real world"
What they mean is:
Taxes,
Unfulfilling marriages,
Bitchy soccer moms,
Desk jobs.
I don't want their "real world."
I'll make my world.
Being in love is like blood and fear. All that's left of him is one last year. I imagine us dancing in a burning room, but in reality he is nowhere near. This must be a dream but I see the crowd and team of doctors and family.
It was astonishing when I found out that you would be in my life,
It was thrilling the moment I told your dad we were expecting you.
The quill slides over
and into the inkwell
the battle 'gainst evil begins
then promptly the clash
of the two sided sword
rings louder with the side that wins.
a story, a plotline
I have these scars, they mark my body
A window into my past
They’re discolored and harsh and raised above
Just like a sailing ships’ mast
I can see in the wandering eyes of some
Behind the picture perfect family,
There were seven precious creations.
All human, all broken, all loving.
Let's say two were married,
Two strong sons, and three dear daughters
Pull up your britches and go chase your ambitions.
Dreaming is for people who can't do.
Making believe they will pull through.
Make the big decision to make life your muse.
So, let's say you're feeling down,and your face has made a frown.
Well don't feel that way, life is great!Here's how to get in a happy state!Step 1: Go find things you like to do!
A boy on my right and a boy on my left,
I was sandwiched in between as the only girl, no less
Then when I was three and my brothers two and four
My mother announced we were getting one more
Life has it's ups and downs
I know it may be hard
Just remeber that there's someone who cares
It can be
Someone you may know
Or
Someone you don't know
Its so awesome to be alive
To grow, expand, to suceed and to thrive
Its just so awesome to be alive
Its so awesome to be free
To mix what we hear and interpret what we see
We are awesome,
Us as people are awesome,
We can create peace,
We as humans are awesome,
We all see things differently,
We all can change the world,
Just with the help of each other,
Dear Awesome Elizabeth,
I can't imagine my childhood without you.
Because of all your sacrifices, it will be so much that I am able to do.
Thank God, for our special memories.
There is nothing awesome about family secrets
or liars
or bullies
There is nothing awesome about disabilities
how it makes you look on the dark side
how it makes you live on the dark side
It's raining outside
From a sky colored charcoal grey
The tranqulizer to a stressful day
The early bird that sings
interrupting my dreams
Sparks irritation for a split second
Then I realize
Music.
The one thing we can't get away from.
From Punk Rock to Metal,
From Pop to Classical,
From Show Tunes to Techno,
Music is everywhere.
They tell us stories,
My life is awesome.
So is yours.
look around what do you see.
I see life.
I see trees.
I see nature humming with bees.
My life is awesome because im here.
breathing in the fresh cool air.
The grass is soft beneath my toes, plush and green, as it grows,
The natural beauty wont cease to show, the fearless blades before the mow.
I search the sky and ask for answers, the meadow sways, a million dancers.
Bought some books today
And I like to get lost in their pages,
Their pages made of paper;
Except this paper isn't green.
It can't pay my bills or buy food to fill me up.
I've grown up doing some bad things
Disobeyed alot of orders
The wrong game I was playing
Where pennies, nickels and dimes are nothing; I wanted quaters
Trapped in a maze of wrongs
Its petals fall a yellow bright
A naked stem is left by night
But in the morn’ a newfound sight
Of precious seeds ready for flight
The buds of birth, beginning life
I have a life, that's awesome
I have food to eat, that's awesome
I have a place to sleep, that's awesome
I love being free!
I love being outside!
I love being able to express myself!
I love being able to chase my dreams!
Sometimes things are sad,
But then things get happy again!
Look at yourself
Are you broken yet
Are you crying today
Are you lonely right now
Are you sure everything is okay
What I want you to do is look into a mirror and say this to yourself
'I am me
In my head, once again lost in a song
From the rhythm. To the songs compelling melody
When you touch me the wind carries my breath to the outter corners of Earth
it floats with wanderlust through ancient villages and enchanted waters
for your spirit is entertwined in my own
The tears in your eyes
speak the volumes of sorrow,
you have survived.
The lies you have told
to protect your inner self, crumbles,
as the truth, that is not free,
begins to unfold.
It starts when you wake up in the early morning.Your eyes crack open through the crusted tears and your body begins to de-numb itself from the countless hours of sleep.
Everything is awesome,
except for when it's ordinary.
Everything is beautiful,
except for when it's ugly.
But isn't that all just an opinion,
just a matter of what each person thinks?
Pre-Poem: You know, I've recently
Grasped the Power of my Presence,
the power of the love that I have for myself.
There is a beautiful sky that is shouting at me in its peculiar color.The glowing fuchsia demands of my attention,
"Everything is awesome. Waking up in the morning is awesome. Living your life to the full extent is awesome. Knowing you have freedom of rights to voice your opinion is awesome. Having wonderful loving parents is awesome.
Being black is amazing
Hair waving, body banging, and never aging.
Everybody wants to be you, until it's time to be you
Who knew?
Have you ever desired something you never had?
You thought was never an option
Never a taste, but the thought of it made you glad?
Something that became forbidden only to you
My family is awesome. Family is one thing that you cannot buy, you are born into your family. They are your roots, they are what you are made of. I am thankful for the love that family members give.
Sometimes the best people are taken from us, but we don’t know why.
Through our grieving, through our pain, we must remember that this is not goodbye.
I know I’m stronger,
because I persevere longer
than anyone else.
I’m by myself,
but that doesn’t mean
my goals will
wither away on a shelf.
I know I’ll be
the best chef
Every time we open our mouths
And thoughts begin to just pour out,
IDEAS are traded and brought to light
I think it's the roses.
Because I stopped to smell them and the path disappeared. Packed its bags and moved on to the next soul ready to embark on an unimaginable adventure.
When your daily routine
is mundane and repetitve
It can be hard to find
the awesome things in life
When nothing seems awesome
because everything seems the same
It can be hard to find
A ball of lint.
You need to squint
your eyes really tight
To see the glint
In her two eyes
which is what ties
The darkness to the light.
The molasses embraces
and takes you places
With hardship comes ease.
Nothing is 100% awful,
Because there is always a pillar,
A sturdy, reliable pillar,
That's always there to support you.
Look now, do you see?
It's by your side,
This poem is dedicated to you,
And to you alone.
Be proud of who you are.
Be proud of what you've accomplished.
Be proud of you.
(In Contemplation)
Freedom
That is what I seek
Transcending the everyday norms we know
Living untethered
Boundless to everything but God and my will
It doesn't matter if you fall or break
You are alive and that's all it takes
Get back up and wipe off the dirt
Stand up tall and fix your shirt
It doesn't matter if you're tall and thin
A silly little monster
A harmless game
Child's play, really
Until it's turned around
And instead of having the upper-hand
You're stuck on the outside
Looking in.
Two Roads diverged by a yellow wood,
one froze my heart, and there I stood,
the other promised freedoms from my stife,
word was true, i got a better life.
Admiration for things big and smal
I’ve been staring at that stupid cup for
Hours now, ticking by like the tiny legs of spiders
As they crawl across the crack in the pavement.
There goes one more, and still the cup is
Empty.
What makes life worth living?
What makes life divine?
Is it the first fall of snow,
or the summer sun's shine?
Could it be the smell of fresh cookies,
the taste of good food?
The people of this earth
Have the power in their hand
To shape the ground they live on,
And dictate where they stand
The morning sun rises bringing with it heat and warmth for me to soak in as the day goes on. I am filled with anticipation as everything around me bursts into life. The birds chirp with eagerness and the grass smells of freshly fallen rain.
Everything is awesome thats what they say
to live, to breathe and wake up each day
For me awesome is my twin and my cousin
All the methods of the transportation
Where do we go
A journey home or to find ourselves
We can only find the answer with traveling
The experience of this adventue offers us great things
Austim is Awesome.
The mind, the body, how it all tries to work together.
The preception, the behaviors, my sister.
She feels, she loves, she cares.
Just like you.
She is awesome, Autism is Awesome.
Isn't home where you find yourself you belong the most?
Home is where you are the happiest
Home is when you are excited the most
Home is where you feel loved
Life is hard.
Sadness, frustration, anger, and stress
These emotions are what I know best.
Doing what needed to be done Yesterday, will always solve Today’s problems.
Today is when we make our Tomorrow, so Tomorrow can be our Yesterday.
The news emphasizes on the bad
It desensitizes us to think this is the only way to get attention
Do something bad and everyone will know your name
But all you will live with is shame
So why not try a different fate
An aunt can be described in so many adjectives, in so many ways
She’s a counselor when going through tough times, a teacher there to help, and guide you in the right way.
Awesomeness life, this is so nice
To see the trees, and run from the honey bees
To smell the fresh air, and be relaxed without a care
Even just for a second, because life can be so hectic
In the middle of the night
I finally sleep so comfy without light
Deeply I dream
Of the wondrous thoughts that’ll never seem
To ever come true
Wake me up and you will rue
There is always an upside to a downside, whether you see it or not.
I’m in the business of choosing my attitude,
If someone asks something of me I say yes before I say no.Why?
I love the depths of my creativity -
My abyss of imagination
That lives with the creatures in my head.
The way paintbrushes can be weapons
To all of the worry in the world
A mom who cares is a mom with good intentions, had a life planned ahead but kids weren't in that vision , father walked away so there wasn't much of a decision, but to pray and ask God for a little more wisdom, now statistically men walk out on a
I loved you.
I lost you.
I was hurt and tears were flowing
And somehow I found greatness in a tragedy
I learned that when you love someone you begin to see who you are
Or who they made you become
Your eyes open as you wake up
Awesome
You are able to see a whole new day
Awesome
You are able to get out of bed and move with your own two feet
Awesome
You have a roof over you head
Awesome
"Prepare yourself," they tell you as you walk blindly into the dark,
"These will be the greatest years of your life."
The memories, the friends, all it takes is a single step forward into your future...
Whenever I see blue or black or red or grey
Or feel yellow and orange and pink, I say
"TURN UP THE TUNES!"
So I can dance and twirl and embrace the sounds
Of soothing vibrations
Burn bright does the flame upon this candle stick
The darker the room becomes the brighter it burns
So dynamic a flame, yet so stagnant its home
To remove the ignorance, the fear bestowed upon the wax
I’m trying to write, trying to be poetic
Sarcastic, romantic, funny, inspiring
All things I’m not but can be
I’m just me and when I write that’s who I want to be
What Does It Mean?
“Life”. What does it mean?
You can Google it, search it
And what do you find?
Merriam-Webster
When the time limts up the memories still last.
An upbeat, a slow beat or even a tune.
Recollecting your past.
Moods switch like the sun and the moon.
Makes you want to get up and dance like a fool.
Some wanted to be old
While others wanted to be young
But he just wanted to be bold
She insulted him, with her sharp tongue
He was shy and wanted to cry
I had always wondered what is was like to be in love,
Such a strange concept.
How could someone ever feel that for me?
Why would anyone want to stick around?
The only concept of love I had was the cliche movies,
Within yourself are the values of life,
Where sometimes you reign or may go through the struggle and strife.
The power within you, you must fight every day,
Keep your head up and avoid disarray.
Life isn’t easy.
You were born bald and ugly
Your birthday parties sucked
everyone made fun of you.
You are 13 years old
You are still ugly, but now you are fat too
i’m always looking around on the street
waiting to see the people i’d meet –
A businessman in a rush, getting something to eat
A couple so old, can barely walk on their feet.
Go out for a walk,
Feeling good, don’t mind the clock.
Frosty air, it’s getting dark,
Pick the pace up through the park.
Look ahead, it’s hard to see,
Although you know where you will be.
To be awesome is to inspire awe.
I am awed by her
as her heart is inspired by the flowers
It's everywhere.In every singleMovie,Media Source,and Book.There's always so much pressureto be in love and to love.If you don't then,
I don't know when we stoopped beingn on
the same team,
But we have to remember that we're not alone
On this earth.
Somtimes i forget that.
But these are things I learned my senior year of highschool:
Happy Birthday, Mom!
I hope everyone can see,
What a great Mom you’ve always been,
And how much you mean to me.
I always think about you,
In times both good and bad,
There is something we can all learn
From a little lego man
No matter how your day has turned
You still do stand a chance
There is hope for little Emmet
He sees the light where there is dark
Laugh laugh laugh,
I hear nothing wrong.
I'll tell you about laughter,
And it won't be too long.
Laughter means much,
Happiness, joy, love.
It sets your soul free,
As free as a dove.
I love the way I love you
I love the way you shine
I love the way you make me smile
I love the way I call you mine.
Life is a friend, a partner, a mate
And it'll always be your perfect date.
It'll take you to the park where you can run and play
So carefree and nice, it'll make those simple days.
Breaking bad habits
is difficult,
it’s irritating.
You wince every time
You bite your nails
again
Procrastinate
again
Sleep in
again
And every time
Awesome.
It’s an overused word.
But in this case, it fits perfectly.
Blonde hair, crazy smile.
Good friend that goes the extra mile.
Smart, fun, wild.
A hippie that brings light to a room.
we are all different, and nobody can stay the same forever
my brother is
especially different
cause he's the greatest guy on earth that's why
but he doesn't live on the same planet as we do
"Uncharted Territory"
by Patrick Dougherty
'Everything is awesome' they said to me,
Just one,
I'm a few,
No family too,
Who am I?
I don't know
I am a single mom
I am a married mom
I am also a Scientist
That will find a cure
I am also a cop
Where everything there’s not
There’s everything that is
I’m not a math expert
Or Straight “A” wiz
I’m awesome
She is the living definition of what we all once were
Of what we truly are inside.
Her smiling face with a missing tooth
Tugs at the rusted chains you ever so carefully tied long ago.
An aroma of feelings
Everyday I walk through my town,
seeing the sights,
but I never truly look around,
Until I see the tourists' delight.
They look up at the mountains standing above,
You can put me down with the insults
Like the words are thrown by a catapult
There will be days that you make me sad
And I’ll be in my room sitting there mad
But then I realize that I am awesome
You know that moment
When things just fade away
You are in a place
Thinking, " why can't i be more? "
Energy is something you exude, make it positive.
eVeryone always tells me how they "don't believe in that", but no belief necessary.
With a swift stroke of my key
I can be anything - anyone - I want to be
With an awesome, original thought
I can create wars that need to be fought
There is one united states of america and two faces on a politician,
three branches control the government of a rigged election,
four hundred thousand dollars ensures america's next president,
Before I met you
I thought that the feeling
of some one else's fingers on my skin
was always going to burn.
I thought that the guilt and disgust
that filled every vein
There is one multiuniverse and two faces on a politician,
three branches control the government of a rigged election,
four million dollars buys a president
writer's block sucks
because writers, we care
we care so incredibly much
frustrated to see our pages bare
writer's block sucks
but writers do not

No matter what year, fear or tear life may bring; remember that there is always cheer that springs.
Let freedom ring!
From wall to wall,
Who would have thought the confederate flag would fall?
The stars shine as the plane takes off
Children are put to bed by a loving hand
He climbs higher until he sees over the clouds
Counting sheep as the minutes go by
Finally sees what he's aiming for
They call you over and sit you down,
“We’re moving again.”
“Again?” “Again.”
Where to this time?
Detroit? Boston? New York?
It doesn’t seem to matter,
The different cities all start to blur.
Sometimes I cry at night,
Thinking about the future and what it holds.
Someday everything I love will be gone,
And I myself will disappear.
Isn't it sad? I ask myself,
The news feels like the continuous obituary
Reports, rumors, twisted facts, douse our feelings of merry—
Mentions of news we go “oh no” and feel wary
Waking up thinking...
Life is unfair
Things never work my way
Striving to be pretty or popular
Moderato and allegro
Undulating notes
Sounds and words that
Insinuate and entwine
Crescendos that explode
words falling from the sky,
wrapping around my heart,
ripping my voice out,
feeding my soul.
never thought anything
could make me feel this way,
but here I am,
Lean back, relax—
as the breeze breathes in
and exhales fog above the ocean's edge.
Let the breeze take you in
along the sweet summer grass
as the waves pull in,
A warm summer day did I known
That you will come to show
From your blonde hair to your small tender lips
These are the things that I'll miss
My heart hammers each time you came
Everything is calm,
The salt on my lips reminds me
Of my childhood not so long ago,
The waves crashing into me show
Signs of sure hope.
Everything is calm
Everything is exciting,
Every now and then, you find yourself in day dream thinking about the days to come
At any moment life could start, in contrast it could all be done
Days passing like a freight train carrying time you can never get back
A cry, the first sign of a new life
Awesome
Going from painting on the walls; to writing on paper
Awesome
Some days I'm trapped,
Inside of my head,
Wishing to scream out,
All the words left unsaid.
Because I said so many to you,
And now we hardly talk at all.
Those feelings that quickly grew,
Music fills the soul
Sounding just right
It can make you feel whole.
As the magic behind the sound begins to take toll
I feel myself becoming light
It can make you feel whole
It was as if I was drowning
with waves of addiction crashing over my body.
My soul longed for fresh air,
but current constantly held me under.
The darkness surrounded me
and clothed me in its image.
Our lives blow on past us like a brisk breeze,
Sometimes gentle and subtle,
Others a stormy tease,
But in the end we find reasons to chuckle.
Our lives lead us to many paths,
Sometimes wondrous,
Let's see, me trying to write this sonnet.
Nope, not going to happen, not at all,
Looking for inspiration on the wall.
I have written three lines! Nope, forget it.
This is going to make me throw a fit.
In the game of life
One takes risks
and challenges
you may regret some choices
you may look forward to the future
sometimes it's hard
sometimes you have to work harder
This plane you find yourself in
is just one glimpse of one dimension, among many others
Look out,
organic nature surges from the soil
synthetic somethings jut out from this scene.
The silver moonlight shines
On the hills powdered with white.
Its glow casts
A brilliant sparkle,
And the flakes of purity
Dance in the wind.
The silver moonlight shines
The crystalizing tainting wonder
becomes a fantasy of one another
to plunder among the lives
of majestical thunder
roaring through the sky high
CRASHING down with lights a sight bright
Continue to pierce my soul with your love
My love will forever reciprocate
My heart endlessly burns and like a dove
It flutters therefore I know this is fate
You broke into my soul at a young age
Awesome is never tiresome
You can walk or run
without knowing where do you belong
and still be awesome.
Me in a trip of hope
Around the globe
With a musical note
Riding a boat
Do you ever stop to ask yourself: are you really satisfied?
Are you happy with the way that you live this fleeting life?
Or maybe, you're like me, and you've come to realize
You wake up
Another day
Another struggle
You force yourself to exercise
You force yourself not to eat
You feel in control of something
Finally
As if being skinny
Equals being happy
Have you ever sat and allowed yourself to feel everything?
Have you ever opened yourself up to your fears?
Have you ever taken a breath of air so clean that your lungs gain life?
Have you ever thought about the ocean?About water and its motionInanimate but with so much emotionThe tides keep goingWithout any notionOf human presenceOr human essence
Drift my darling to a world of wonder
Chase away the storms of today
Fall fast asleep in winds that are whistling
Winds that blow your worries away
It's easy to get flustered
Trying to get even at the odds
But when you carry through the hard
Even though the remainder seems flawed
It's the factor that keeps us undivided
Sometimes I wonder
Where I would be
Without the night of thunder
Rain pouring down on me
It is awesome to feel
The water tickling my face
Every emotion and ordeal
Intertwined with lace
I look up at the sky and smile.
I see the curvature of the clouds,
And I just stare for a while.
Life is awesome, nearly flawless.
What more can I really ask?
As I strive to pursue my dreams
Becoming a nurse is more difficult than it seems.
Ill patients rely on only you
Knowing you'll do everthing to pull through.
Others can help us too
I would say food is great,
as you look down on your plate
because there's no way
food can't make your day. There's one thing almost as great as Santa,
and yes you're right...it's a banana!
I was teaching a lesson
On rhetorical questions
Yes, those filled with aggression
Statement suggestion
Gut-wrenching expressions
My students blindly wrote the definition
College is awesome.
A place to blossom.
Not all can go.
How do I know?
Years of sitting in classes with my mom.
Promising to sit quietly and calm.
Always dreaming this will be me.
Down in the dumps where the pessimists lay
Is a life full of misery and woe.
But with a friend nearby it’s no surprise,
That the worries will scurry away.
The problems inside so easy to go
Not being ok is ok,
It does not make you weak.
Focus on getting better,
Your future isn’t bleak.
You know what you are going through,
You should know what you need.
Struggles and Troubles
arise from complications
and is not awesome...
Simple means savvy,
transparent and functional
which is very awesome
It speaks languages
Words are awesome.
What would we do without our words?
How would we speak?
What would we write?
Could we think?
I am made of my words,
An individual powered by her thoughts,
Everything is awesome, if you'll look, you'll see
Just how beautiful the world can be.
The blue in the sky and the green on the ground
The leaves in the air and the birds how they sound.
My famiy is awesome.
We help each other blossom,
Emotionally and physically.
They help get me through life basically.
We may fight or even argue,
but we're together like gorilla glue.

I still remember April, when our story began
I still remember Boston, how through the streets we ran
One day without you,is a thousand baseballs to my throat.One day without you,is like being run over by a speed boat.One day without you,is like being trampled by one thousand elephants.
Life is truly amazing.
The air is fresh, filling up our lungs with a breath of new life every time we inhale.
Happiness is 6 o' clock on a Monday morning,
hearing you both fight over the T.V. remote.
Sadness is waking up at noon on a Saturday
and hearing complete silence.
I first knew that music was poignant to me, when i showed an affinity to singing.
My voice, anonymous to most, gave me assauge.
But my proliferate love of music had just begun.

The world is awesome for countless reasons,
But only one really applies to my life,
And that is simply, beauty.
Beauty is all around us,
Taking on many forms.
"SYA!, SYA!" That is what we say
Step, Step that is what we do
We have the rhythm and spirit of sorority to
Everything is... by Christian Orellana

Forgiveness, awesome gift to gift or glean,
Grantor or reciever, both set free,
Starting fresh, a slate so clean,
Forgiveness, freedom for you and me.
Unleashed anxiety, hate and fear,
Writing is awesome
I write because it feels right
When I feel as though I have nothing left
And everything is wrong- I write
Writng takes me away
Farther than far, farther than Earth
You say you are a weed in a garden of flowers
But,
Baby, we are all plants.
Your words are taking bites out of you that your mouth is starting to choke on
But,
Darling, words should not have teeth.
The refreshment of the cool desert made you want to beg for more the creaminess of its texture made you want to wear it. It is Aweome only because you can't eat it to often or you may become sick. Call me Mrs.
Yesterday I heard your voice again. It was faint, but i'm sure it was there.
One day later, I thought I saw you, and your smile that seemed to guarantee the storm would end.
Although life may be stressful and torn,
Although life can cause hurt and pain,
My life includes some of life's best gifts,
The days, they grow so long and bare, to share
My e'er so cautious pain and strife, a knife
Inside the back of memories long past.
Grey clouds float o'er and I- to show my guilt-
do good deeds
time recognizes the merit
and never forget the goodness
of good deeds
everyone is going to die some day
and their belongings will remain in this world
the goodness that you made
You keep searching
through your brain
for all the answers.
and it feels like walking
through a desser,
alone and empty.
you have forgotten
about your heart.
the same way you have
darkness, pain, hurt, sadness, reality.
Joy, Peace, Love, Kindness, Perspective.
Life is as good as you make it.
Pain is inevitable, but happiness is always possible.
Between tragedies and comedies lies a line so frail and fine. One super subtle twist of fate may change the storyline.
There is so much in life that is not pointless, and even if it really amounts to nothing in the grand schem
Life is happening. In the city, in the wilderness, on an island, or in the desert. I spread my arms out to their farthest reach. Exhaling all of my fears and inhaling all of the joy's I am about to experience.
Developing movements from the tip top of your head
Attached to the sound that makes your body move like a thread
Never stopping, never dead
Captivated by the lyrics being said
Wrapped in a blanket,
Warm as can be,
No thought to forsake it,
No breath can he see.
Snow won't stop jumping,
From the clouds to the ground,
You want to know? I'll show
The thing I think is cool
With rhymes in tow
For what I feel, I reel
In woven words, my tool
I shan't conceal
This very act, exact
Of putting letters down
Sometimes life can be so bland,
As if it needs a master's hand.
But if we shift our eyes a bit,
We could see a world that's lit!
Lit with laughter, lit with smiles,
Lit with sunlight stretching for miles.
The crisp sound
the earthy aroma
makes me forget
everything that's around.
The commencing words
the floating ink
Him. A Poem
The first time I saw
Him, I was thirteen,
The classroom bold, and
My thoughts clouded with
Thoughts of him.
Watson, my dog, I love so dear.
He’s brown and furry,
And makes my anxiety disappear.
Now when I start to feel down,
Also gloomy and blue,
He’ll stick right beside until I feel brand new.
This morning when I blinked the sleep from my eyes, I saw the red of my blanket, the white
of the sunlight streaming in my 5 by 4 window and the blue of the sky.
Our eyes, they see
they can see for miles
and with glasses I can too,
How awesome is that?
I have eyes beyond eyes.
Our brains, they never get tired
Even as our bodies shut off,
Never mind my monologue, unless you'd like to dialogue.
I woke this morning in a fog, because, you see, I lost my dog.
She was no normal dog, by the way.
One day I found her at a matinee.
How awsome is it that we can describe ourselves without a single word ?
That through clothes we can identify ourselves as anything we want.
Clothing no longer is someting we wear,
Life is short, live it well
All for Christ, none for self
He is the reason for all life
See yourself through His eyes
See it all through His eyes
"Children are a gift from God you hear?"
"Children are a blessing" they said.
97 was the year
Graduation was on the mind of all her peers,
I was born February 17th,
For the last seven years, six months, five weeks, four days, three hours, two minutes
Every second you've been in it
Looking back at the beginning when nobody believed
In our vision or us livin our near impossible dreams
What is Awesome
Is it simply a word
No, awesome is more than just that
Awesome is happieness
What is Awesome
Awesome is sadness, and
Awesome is life, awesome is Life
She walks down the corridor
No expression; not anymore
The shadows chase away the light
Her saddness shows within her stride
She breathes deep from what's building inside
It's not enough to say to me
What beauty thou hast brought with thee
The Sun and Stars and Moon and Earth
Cannot compare to what you're worth
So tell me
one thing that is true
The power of the brain
is what keeps us alive
It's the building block of human nature
And is what helps us thrive
Not only is it awesome,
It's fantastical as well
I hear the joyful cranes overhead,
they seem to laugh in the wind,
their notes so harmonious no human could dream them,
each movement of the wing sews a new beat into their unending pattern.
Here's to those who needs a little more happy in their life.
Someone told me I smiled in a picture like I wasn't happy
Well maybe they're right
Maybe it's true
I really have no clue
What I do know is that I'm not as happy as I used to be
He Is my all
All to Him I owe
When Issues arrise, and they will
I've been taught that its to him I should go
I've only been traveling this adult road
For only a short time
A smile from an unexpected stranger
A generous tip to a hardworking waiter
A plate of food offered to those not fed
I am Irish and I love the rain
But with blue skies I can’t contain
The joy I feel when I look up above
An earthquake in Nepal
leveled cities.
A crisis in Greece
Collapsed an economy.
A war against terror
Terrorized thousands.
Disasters all over
the world.
But we fight
Stop don't let them
Do not let them controle you
Embrace you're brain stem
Don't give them power
Let them speak what they want to
You're ripe not sour
your presence is pure
I am not a martyr,
no,
I am not a crumbling wall
you need to tear down and build back up
in your vision of beautty
and I am not wilted,
Often times you'll feel down
Put out with your own life
Trying just to hang around
Impaired with all the strife
“You are awesome.”
I’ve said it—again and again and again—but do you really know?
I watch you breathe; I watch you struggle to breath.
There are bricks on your chest—but you are awesome.
Finding myself looking through
these pictures I drew one day
But soon I realized that they
were all black and white in some way.
Black for dark cold memories
I often wonder why
In the night I dream of dormant things
Your love for me
and feathers not yet wings
But without flight
I fall
Oh please!
I try to scream but I cannot
Trembling, I find the knot
She takes up half the room
But I get to live with her
She stays up super late
But I get to wake up to funny text messages
She sleeps in until the afternoon
We all are in love with comfort
There’s just no way around it.
You won’t throw out your favorite pair of shoes
Even if the soles are so worn down
That it’s as if they were made without them
All that glitters is not gold,
So how dare you be so bold,
To say that the best things in life are free?
Well, no one is free from impunity.
You only have the freedom of speech,
Where am I from…?
I never thought to ask myself that.
Has it ever ---- to me think to think about it.
I from a wooden paint brush trying to paint my way thought life.
Everything is awesome
Except everything is not.
It would be if I were using that phrase sarcastically
-What an awesome war an, awesome society
-Awesome job U.S.A of hiding our medocrity
Life is a wonderful thing i think.
it flows and ebbs like a summer tide never staying close yet never hiding im sure we all have those days where our awesome escapse and its not to late if you want any day can be great.
With a little bit of hope,
Anyone can make a change.
Anyone can learn to cope,
To what life may bring us.
A slice of friendship,
Will let robins defeat sharks.
None can stop hope,
With dialogue as currency
windows may be a silk hijab,
blooming African Moon,
or literature with words visual
like stained glass.
Windows often open
despite geographical boundary,
What is it about yourself, a friend, or life in general that you find awesome?
My life is usually such a bore.
School doesn't interest me,
but my friends make it a mandatory chore.
She allows people to walk all over her,
But nothing stops her from spinning, bringing life and joy to everything she touches
She unites people from all religions, all races, all backgrounds; she is powerful
My feet are hugged by leather soles
The girls around me jump and turn
We’re here to dance, we’re here to learn
It's a feeling when you are infinite.
Some express it with their new music playlist
that makes them feel like dancing through the night.
I appreciate myself because I am creative
With a string of an idea in my mind, I can weave together a blanket of stories for others to touch and immerse themselves into
I appreciate myself because I am creative
With a string of an idea in my mind, I can weave together a blanket of stories for others to touch and immerse themselves into
A gust of wind
A dance of leaves
A rainbow in the sky
The smell of flowers in the air
And the moisture of the ground
The sound of chirping overhead
A slight chill all around
Sometimes the world falls
falls into a traumatic state
We start to lose ourselves
and fall into the clutches of hate
Sometimes the world falls,
falls into a traumatic state.
We start to lose ourselves,
and fall into the clutches of hate.
From the frosty top
of Haleakala,
to the sunkissed sand
of Hanauma Bay.
The beauty nature
is evident everywhere you turn.
The landscape of Hawaii
is awesome.
A variety of ecosystems
Humans are incredible creatures.
Plagued by chronic hardships,
It would be effortless to allow our demeanors to become
Calloused and rough, like the
Texture of weary hands that have worked tirelessly.
This is for every kid, teenager, and even adult that ever felt like they were nothing or weren't good enough
A penny for your thoughts...
Though your thoughts are worth so much more.
Pot them with love;
water them them with kindness,
and everything you want
will come to you as you grow
taller and taller
Dirt trapped underneath fingernails
the stickiness on your face after a dog licks it clean
the tired, tired moment when you slip
Blades of grass crinkle as my eyes search the sky
The clouds move lazily, as do I.
My glaze falls wide as the wildflowers bend
Under the love pulsing in the wind.
Solitude and sanctity within my mind
A smile
A tear
Emotions would last through out the year
Hate and Sadness
Joy and fear
Pain from razors
Laughs from jokes
afraid that I may choke
from saying my emotions are weak
Dogs Cats Giraffes Mice
all animals are awesome
Pizza Hamburgers Soup Waffles
all foods are awesome
Ice Cream Cake Cookies Candy
all desserts are awesome
Scrabble Pictionary Charades Suduko
Yup there he is. Always smiling like theres no tommorow.
His tail wags and he has a glow in his eyes.
He has no problems, no bills to pay, no work to do...
Life is just awesome for him.

Everything is great
With a smile on your face
Even if your late
You've just found your own pace
Have you noticed how your hands move as you type or write,
How your eyes move from side to side,
How you jump and run with all your might,
And how you dance to the song that you like?
No?
Well I have
Welcome to my Newsroom
Welcome to my newsroom.
Where my problems seem to melt away.
Where there’s an inspirational quote on colored cardstock
On every inch of the wall.
I know I talk a lot about you to everyone
That is only because I hold you so close to my heart
You mean a great deal to me,
And on days that are absolutely awfu
And I question what I'm doing
Welcome to endless pictures.
Welcome to your safe haven to post anything,
From selfies to Bible scriptures.
Social media is progressing.
We had to leave Facebook because parents overtook.
What is Awesome to me you ask?
The words of love created through time and space.
The endless words created within Shakespeare's grace.
My endless strive for success.
My endless compassion and nothing less.
Have you ever just wanted to give up and quit sometimes.. I haven't walked in your shoes, but I know how it gets sometimes.. Wishing you could change the past, but can't press rewind..
High School is just another frustration of today’s generation
Whose creation is just a bunch of demonstrations
Of todays lack of education
Sighs
I hate sighs
She's different
The woman is not a woman
The human is not a human
This is a beast
And he is scared
A child is still a child
And it lies in a boy
It's cold.It's hot.How useful?How not?
Sometimes we get so caught upThat we miss the little things.But if we take a moment to stop and look,We'd see the awesomeness that our life brings.
Scream
Cry
Call your best friend and vent
Vent
Rant
Let it out
Don't let it in
Don't let negativity take up space
In that precious precious brain
Your brain
It's incredible
I’ve got news, I’ve got news it contains joy, it contains blues. You choose how it comes you choose how it goes but either way the choice is yours and yours alone.
I just want a steady income and a way with words
that doesn't fall so abruptly out of my mouth,
Having frustration over everything I say
makes everything go down South.
She had a smile that could spark a revolution
and when I want to describe happiness
I end up describing the way her eyes crease at the sides
and the way she sticks her tongue between her teeth
When people see me they look at me strange
But I know why
I have superpowers
There are special and all according to change
I can fly
I can read your thoughts
I can even use fire if it is in range
She showed me that not everything is as bad as it seems
That there is a bright side to everything
That sometimes things go wrong and thats okay
That I can dwell on it for a little while
We are but a mere tree in the forest
We are but a mere grain of sand in the desert
We are but a mere raindrop in the ocean
We are but a mere person in this world
We are but a mere speck of dust in the galaxy
If only you could see the Milky Way
Most people cannot conceive all the stars that form into a magical crochet
These are the lights that shine the tome
Through plights of misfortune and dishonest certainty
These are the lights that shine the tome
Till my physical prowess is as dull as my mental stability
"You're so different"
Different meaning, "not the same as another, unlike in nature, form, or quality".
Different, a term I often left behind because of it's connotation, but now I embrace it an open heart.
Ectasy pleasure, spontaneous delight.
Atmosphere is not a perfume
that scent - clear and sweet,
is not my soul.
In this city of orgasm.
your own affairs, unravel and uncurl
I am tired of the average poem,
The tear soaked, ink run.
Open your eyes and see the sun light,
Life is awesome. No really...life is awesome.
It can leave some in awe,
Just as it can be made an awe to some.
Afterall, life is what you make it
And until we have made this
Known
There's a sun in the sky
That glows with golden light
But if it never stopped burning
Stars couldn't dance in the night
There's a voice in your throat
That bubbles with words
My house is kind of falling apart,
But I’ve lived here my whole life.
And I’ll love it; it’s been my start.
Here, I’ve lived through strife.
Here, I learned how to ride a bike,
We created our country based off of nothing
We invented the internet
We walked on the moon
Awesome... I chew the word between my teethletting it slide across my tongueabsorbing its texture and weight.
What is Awesome? A word that can apply to so many things
I awaken new fantasies when I close my eyes
Imagination and reality seem nearly the same
I fly until sunrise and then wake to realize
It was all happening in my brain
I live In Arizona,
The furnace of hell
Winter is almost nonexistent
It’s like an alternate version of Narnia;
When the witch resided
But it really isn’t that bad
You are priceless, but I would pay Diamonds for you
Your have me speachless more beautiful then Diamonds
Diamonds glistening in night.
I can't control how much I want you
I forget that the fall leads to a rise.
Because as you descend there must
always be room to ascend
And the same can be said for climbing,
only to tumble down mercilessly
empty
I am hollow
A vase whose flowers are dead and withered
I was high
Now I am going down, down, down, down,
Down
under
drowning, drown, drown, drowned
drowned
Motivational posters
That litter doctor’s offices
And grade school classrooms
And Hallmark cards
And my Tumblr dashboard
That would proclaim that life is awesome
When I nanny in the smallest space,
They forget the tissue and use my face,
I smile in their choking embrace
Cause making money is awesome!
Everything is Awesome
Believe me, I know
There is always a silver living
There is always goodness in tow
If one day it rains
decide what color boots you'll wear
If another day it pours
I look around me and what do I see in a land where the newscasts shows only travisity.
No it is not death or plague for I refuses to allow darkness to enter my day.
AWESOME is Nathan Fillion on a spaceship.
AWESOME is a good education.
AWESOME is having a good day with friends.
AWESOME is Chris Pratt training raptors.
AWESOME is sleeping in during summer.
Out of this box i yearn to leave
suffocating me in agony
i want to stretch
to breathe wholly
crinkles and shreds outside of it
i can smell the freshness
seeing a glimmer into the open
You say, that things are hard
Hard. Impossible. Bigger than you.
But I, I say that as long as you dont let yourself down.
You wont fall.
I see it sitting there, that little candle of hope
The one we lit
To represent our tiny hearts coming as one
To represent
if you are so inclined— I’m in the green :)
to be asked what I find “awesome”
Take a breath,Say goodbye.Tonight's the night,We finally fly.Up, & away,We can leave this place.
Tricky, self important, incredibly dangerous, and sly
When she graces you with their presence they can make any frown go mad
She chooses to appear when she chooses, even in mid cry
The world goes 'round
Round for days
Humans make sound
With no delays.
No colors are alike
Just blended lights
I'm color blind
to endless fights.
We live,
We breath,
I do not know too much about poetry,
except that it's the doorway to expression,
and with it, you can always be the exception.
And that's awesome.
You know what else is awesome?
Your smile.
Yes, your smile.
And your laugh.
Something about them
Makes life worthwhile.
Even when I'm down,
You bring me up.
You deserve the crown
Of awesome stuff.
Everything I do is for you
My decision to attend a University is for you
Staying up late reading and studying for hours on end is for you
I see the ocean, the fog, the tiny shopfronts
I see the Uni, the bay, the glacier
Everything will be awesome.
Juneau is my future
Marine Bio is my life.
I smell the sea
And I see the eagles.
I’m Awesome
Where there’s dark there must be light
My heart has been broken
And it has been played with
Wow, I really don’t think that I deserve this gift that You’re giving me,
I’m trying to gather my thoughts as to how I even fit into this category, you see…
Darkness.
That is all I used to see in this world we live in.
Darkness,
The total absence of life,
Of joy,
Of love
Of awesomeness.
Then I met someone,
Maybe for the longest time,
People didn't understand the power of love.
The ability to do so is at the very root
Of our feeble existence,
Gives us purpose and the belief that
As the world is falling into dystopia
We forget the little moments of utopia
The slightest smiles from strangers
That makes you momentarily forget about the potential dangers
The literary works of the past
the never-ending obnoxious barking from my dog that happens everytime I come home
Don't sweat the small stuff
That's what they say
But how can we not
When the struggles we face
With relationships, school, learning to love ourselves, and finding happiness
I. There is no such thing as too much sleep.So when your eyes are heavy,Let them go.
Bright red face, tightly clutching my fists
eager to strike a blow like a ghetto kid.
Pockets very slim, family auguring till the end,
report card arrived, disappointed momma again.
eyes filled with tears , she checked again and again
dread burned in her stomach
she sat on the cold tile floor of the bathroom
clutching the test
she found the courage to tell him
I met you in my dream last night, I felt your skin, I swear
I looked into your eyes with fingers tangled through your hair
But with eyes closed the thoughts are never bright enough to keep
I am simply
plainly
purely
honestly
easily
frankly
sincerely
transparently
alone
in this complex
elaborate
tainted
lying
hard
If I had to talk about myself,
I would not know where to start,
Because my life is like a winding road;
Short, but full of unexpected twists.
I was born as if I were a princess;
People come and people go
Sadness dwells and happiness furloughs
Things suddenly cease to last;
Life changes around us fast
People come and people go
Days spent safe in lovers’ arms
They all ask, "What is so awesome about her?"
As she plays her guitar alone in her room,
And writing lyrics straight from the heart.
She plays in her band and rocks out to the tunes.
The mind is infinite.
Thoughts, never ending.
One thought could trigger millions
Carrying us on trains through mountains and valleys of fragmented ideas
This past year has been a blur
I am now done with college - year one
And I can say this one thing is sure:
It was not at all very fun.
My room-mate was evil, a devil was she
The cafeteria's food was inedible
We learn from our past for a soothing future; done leisurely for a peaceful end to a life the Lord so graciously bestowed upon us his children, many years ago when the world was young;
Heart of Gold, Chains of Diamonds. Bound my soul, did not confide it. A love I lost, her love I gained. Her chains kept me whole, kept me sane. But I made a mess, I damaged the locks. Her chains was loosed, I fell apart.
I look in the mirror,
What is so special?
They see nothing but
What I see is the fact that
I am beautiful.
The people that surround me,
They are my true colors.
*clears throat* I'm........awesome.
And so is everything else.
*lights dim and people applaud*
Within the turn of a page, I’m transported to 1920’s New Orleans.
Soft pastel ribbons that adorn the corn silk curls of the girls passing by catch my eye as I inhale the thick scent of burning cigars.
As the world passes by,
With its ever changing story.
I sit here, trying to read the story I have been given.
With life as the main character,
Giving meaning and plot to the story,
I am warm and I am cold.
I am a force to be trifled with but a protector of my children.
I am a home to many and full of life.
I can be nuturing as well as a disaster.
I grow and survive for I am strong.
Ever since I was a child,I’ve hated thunderstorms.The flash of light,the precursor to the beast’s cryalways made me anxious,a waiting game until the rumblethat would shake the land;
How is it the mind works?
Truly, how is thought expressed?
Because my mind makes synapses;
They filter deep within and fester.
That is, until they leave or cannot exist.
The sun peaks perfectly through a gap in the mountain side,
illuminating the rising and falling tide that leaves a puff of mist on the shore,
The Value of My Education
I value my education, but I cannot put a value on it.
My Education Is.
I work hard for what I want,
Because I am awesome.
Full time nursing student,
Full time mom,
Full time employee
Full time.
I am awesome
Because I can and will.
I'm AWESOME simply because I persevere through life's trials and tribulations
Whether it's health issues or financial difficulties, I rely on my faith in God and the strength that he has given me to continue on
My flaws are as perfect as can be
although I mistakes they always humble me
I've never had lots of money or fame
but if that's all that matters life is a shame
my clothes may not be fancy and new
Hatred, love, cruelty, kindness
You get the gist
Seeing hugs and kisses, then guns and death
This is life as we know it
Do you ever see happiness, smiles, laughter, and fun
And think, Life is good
Nothing means more to me than my life,
Nothing means more to me than my family,
Nothing means more to me than my sister,
Nothing means more to me than my parents,
Nothing means more to me than my father,
Wedlock is defined as being in a state of marrige.Hapiness, as defined by me, is feeling fullfilled at the end of the day.Assosiation of the two are apparent in my world.
On this very night, I found out that the job I wanted was given to someone else The day before, I suffered extreme back pain from my scoliosis Two weeks ago, the girl I wanted to date told me that we shouldn’t hang out anymore A month ago, my mot
They whistled from the backyard until us little ones
Came trouncing through the woods
Covered in sap and ticks, scrapes and red cheeks.
We rolled down the big hill at top speeds
Just to feel our ears pop,
The summer before my junior year of high school
I did not one,
but two unexpected things that just made me
feel alive.
First
I made myself a pair shorts.
We never dared to drop a foot
On rats or spiders, dared to shoot
Our parents taught us good and well
These kinds of things were apt to fell.
Yet we kept our toes so nicely clean
Our house, our home, our life, our right.
The spinning world in the spotlight,
Whose deep blue depths, bright sky, and lands
Might crumble to night by hot hands.
When things seem to have darken along road
Or perhaps the road vanished right before your eyes
You stop and breathe.
You try to not let the darkness get to you, to devour you whole.
Ha...everything is awesome when it's going my way
Not your way or her way but my way all the way
Yah it's all smiles and giggles when my style is filling
The room
This room
Growing up I just wanted to be this
But life seemed to want that
All I needed was the bliss
But expectations wanted me flat
In elementary school it was all about popularity
A title is a weak place
Its smile or frown could be pretend
Like hair hidden in any hat
It could hold many split ends
A title is a mask
The pages hold its self esteem
This is life.
Colorful sunsets that brighten a terrible day.
Drinking a hot coffee cuddled up in your favorite old sweatshirt.
Laughing until your whole body aches with the spirit of it.
When the world gets you down,
That's the time to look up.
It's easy to get caught in the spiral,
To spin in detrimental circles.
But in order to avoid acceleration,
It goes on without a care
Sustains life for all to share
Allows us to enjoy its beauty,
to canoe down its river,
and live life without a care
How would we breathe, drink,
if nature was not there
Life is worth living because of these.
Strum of coastal breeze,
sugary and smooth,
lock of hair that flits
away from my face.
Rustle of leaves, slight and drifting,
Isn’t it awesome, that rivers are forever?
They are forever, and yet you will never stand in the same river twice,
The river is a new being and packs a punch like a spice.
Isn’t it awesome, how as humans we have grown?
Awesome is as
Awesome does.
I have to keep a smile on cuz
‘round every turn,
‘round every bend
I know the possibilities
Will never end!
Starting school, having fun making friends!carry on little soldier,Mom escorts home and daddies on the phone.carry on little soldier,Middle school starts off with a blast!
To the worrisome little girl I was:
Things will fall into place.It’ll take time.Tears will be cried.But things will fit together again,Even if they’re all broken now.
What is more awesome then being alive?
To be part of something great where humans strive
Not only humans but animals and plants too
What an interesting world covered in green and blue
You're more than just a flower in the dirt
You have so much worth
You're more than just some city girl
Someday you're gonna change the world
You're more than just some simple girl
(a poem about the transition from high school to college)
I’m looking at a hamburger right now.
There it is, right in front of my face
Just a round little brown thing
It looks so happy.
For my whole entire life,
May I just say,
Everything about it,
Is awsome in every way.
From birth to childhood,
Tweens to teens,
Every moment of my life,
Has brightened each passing day.
These things have become artifacts since the last time you've touch them.I model my daydreams around the crinkle of linen sheets, hoping that one day I'll escape and find a place to meet you.
I am an average student
with average grades
But what do they know
A's seem to determine how smart I am
My test grades don't reflect my capacity
Intelligence is arbitrary
You can breathe in some air free of charge.
You can drink some fancy water for a slight charge.
You can steal someone’s electricity for your phone to charge.
Man, life is awesome.
I'm Daniel at warFacing the tallest of the GiantsMy rocks won't reachMy voice muffled in the echoes of silenceI would climb and strikebutheights are my fearSo I faceMy darknessMy enemy
The soft sand warms her like a blanket
A cool breeze flows through her hair
The waves splash and smooth her spirit
She views the horizon with love and care
I fell down on my knees
And begged him please
Don't take this life away from me
And to my surprise
I saw joy in his eyes
As he spared me one last time
Everything is awesome
But that’s not always the case
We have things that suck,
Like diseases and hate
But if it wasn’t for the bad,
Would we really appreciate the awesome?
your alarm blares
you turn it off
irritated
that it's time to
ready yourself
for work
you get in the shower
you turn it off
irritated
that you couldn't
get the right
The whistling wind
the barking dog
the chittering squirrel
the croaking frog
I hear these things every summer
I hear things that make me smile
I see things making me glad
From the clouds in the sky
to the grass on the ground
everything is awesome
From the roof over my head
to the bed I sleep in
the clothes on my back
to the shoes I walk in
awesome
The way that mother looks
At her child
The way that husband looks
At his wife
The way a 3-year old boy says hi
From the height of the cosmos to everything under
Existence exudes wisdom and wonder
Crammed to the crease with curiosity
Exhilarated by vivifying velocity
Stuffed, soaked, seething with sensation
From the point where life all begun
to the awesome individuals that helped make everything awesome.
When there is bad, the good will come,
everything negative has a positive.
Life is awesome. You wake up everyday,
Is there something else to this life that I am living?All I desire is to feel self-fulfilled. And yet I would,if I were free to follow my desire in the harsh light of day.
But, I am not.
Inspired by the Novel "Through the Deep Waters," by Kim Vogel Sawyer, my poem tells the story of a young woman who sold her body to save herself and her mother (set in the mid-late 1800's).
Life is a bowl of cherries
We might have a few struggles
a few worries, but life is a beautiful thing
You will realize it, if you smile more and stop being so mean
We have so much to smile about
Awesome
Awesome is life.
Overcomig hard obstacles is life.
Beoming a better person is awesome.
Heping whoever needs help is awesome.
Not caring what race they are is awesome.
Family time is special in every kind of way
It's a time we all need that brightens up our day.
Sometimes we take family for granted, when they're the ones we love.
They'll always be forgiving just like the Lord above.
Its beautiful wings are different pigments of light
Leading me out of such darkness and fright
Shining a path that’ll lead me to everlasting life
Such tender sight and compassionate ways
You. You are you.
You are no one else but you.
And no one else is or can be you.
You are awesome
though you might not think so at times.
Just think! You are a living being
Together we move,
Leaving traces of grace.
Steadily we follow the path of the unknown,
Untouched.
Together we move,
Leaving traces of grace.
Steadily we follow the path of the unknown,
Untouched.
My rose colored glasses shows me a world so clear, with flowers of every color, beautiful people, and gorgeous countries across the world. Let me stay rose colored.
In Junior Year I walked into Chemistry
My teacher shook hands and smiled at me
She would always share stories and making learning fun
She never droned on or bored anyone
Carbon, Fluorine, Potassium--K
You're in a spin,
And you don't know why. Why is the world turning?
Out of control,
You're losing your mind. Why are my insides churning?
You're down in the dumps,
While there are bad days in life, there is always a reason to smile.
Life is what YOU make it, so make it spectacular.
My mom is my best friend. She always puts a smile on my face.
When my throat is raw
and my eyes are red
from words both unspoken and said
I hear,
The pitter patter of the rain
replicating my pain
"Gangrenous Neuroticisms plague my behavior,
Psychic festerings with the most unpleasant of cures,
And you are my treatment."
Who said the wind does not sing
who said the roses do not bloom
who said I cannot love myself
At age six
she tried to dull my wind
she tried to clip my roses
Living is awesome!
I get to see my plants blossom.
I can skate in the summer sun.
My happiness can never be undone.
Because everything is awesome!
Eating food and playing games.
You make forget everything that's bad,
You make me remember that some things can be awesome,
But I don't know how you do it,
Or what it is that is you,

Don't cry my dear,
I am sure that a rock on the surface of neptune has never felt such joy as you
I swivel skewers of charred lamb's leg
and squeeze a sliced lemon on top.
The campers with flushed lips raise
I am become life,
creator of words,
amirite?
The other way is so boring.
Anyone can destroy,
to create is joy,
and what is a world
but a collection of words?
We live
we breath,
how awesome it that we can see?
You are here
I am there,
how awesome is it that there are people everywhere?
We are born,
into a world of love and air,
It's been said that the eyes are the window of the soul. Each of us having a pair which have taken us through all walks of life.
One can read a lot about a person through their eyes.
They can express emotion or attention,
The heat
I feel the radiation searing my shoulders
It burns but still I stand:
You bring me life
Why does life hurt so much:
Then in distance it finally starts to go down
I see his shadow
Smile.
The world is changing,
and one day
it will be ready for you
to be a part of it.
Laugh.
The pain of yesterday
flutters to the ground
like ashes around a campfire,
Step into the subconscious, out of reality.
My! How fine the world is in my mentality!
Down the rabbit hole I go,
ignoring all responsibilities and reminders though.
Lo and behold, is that my high school crush?
I take the small step from the inner boundaries of my home
to the unorchestrated planet outside where both biotic and abiotic creatures reside
Nature reaches the farthest realms in length and width
You are above your flaws
Ordeals will not faze you
Until failures create possibilities
Relentlessly strive for greatness
Eventual success will emerge
Anguish will not remain
When the sky is a muddy grayCasting whispery shadows to dampen up the day in a cold, pessimistic sighIt's easy to see a bright, brilliant world
The sun rose, like it always does.
I lifted my head, from the place that it was.
The gift I receive every morning I wake,
is the blessing of work, along with money I make.
I was stuck under your thumb
and you held me down until
your print was stamped onto me.
When you allowed me to escape,
your thumb hovered over my sun
and your shadow created storms.
It's easy to look on the downsides than upsides, I like to think about the future and my point to where i am now and how i got here, I have so much more than i really need but i forget to easily,
Life is something that you should make awesome
No matter what harsh things may come your way
Like a sleepy sloth, it can be tiresome
But all the negative thoughts you have, you should slay!
Amongst the dulled murmur, a clear song rises.
Even as the chains bind our arm, our hearts soar free, only hindered by the limits of our imagination.
what is a un remembered memory? i refuse to remeber because its negative to my head i shed these sins i refuse to do what they did.
Sometimes,
I think about how worthless it all is,
How one day,
The universe will be nothing,
Only dust,
How the sun will no longer shine,
How the stars will no longer exist to dance among,
Red, White, Black & Blue,
They steal from us,
from me and you.
They tax our income and systematically oppress,
They tell us what to dream for,
They tell us how to dress.
I could wake up tomorrow and call the cute kid in my history class
And despite my solid B say “Hey I really need some help to pass”
Maybe I drop that lie and ask him about go karts
Remember when you heard "Life is too short"
What about "Hard work pays off"
Or "Believe me, I know"
I always thought "Yeah, right, ok, whatever"
Now I know the possibilities are endless
Happiness is awesome
The simple beauty of waking up and feeling your heartbeat is awesome
“I love yous” are awesome
Everything is awesome
The future is awesome
Yup, everything is awesome.
You, reader and breather
Placed here somehow
Don't question it
Accept and embrace the fact you can just be
Simple beauty of life
Unique and irreplaceable
Amazing
They say that duct tape
can fix many things
like its just a scrape,
but it can't fix broken rings.
It can't fix a broken heart
that someone just threw away!
You fix it at the start
I am tall for a girl.
I have learned to slow my steps
So I walk behind my friends-
Never in front.
I never wear heels
My life is simple
Nothing too fancy or rich
And yet still perfect
The best things in life are free
I was very blessed
Blessed with a good family
And wonderful friends

In younger years, it makes kids scream “Ew,”
But that is only because it is just so new,
Little do they know, they’ve been experiencing it all along,
Haven’t they ever heard their parents sing them a song?
Silence is terrifying, but isn't it beautiful?
All of your thoughts and nothing distracting you from them.
Your hopes, dreams, and fears somehow seem so loud while everything else is silent.
In our world it can be hard to make things go your way,
the pipes will leak, the roof will creak, but things will be okay.
For in every small disastrous thing comes adventure in all sorts,
With candlestick, pen, and paper
A youth my age formulates music that continues to amaze
Generation after generation.
Here are bonafide works of art.
We are the ones that will never leave your side.
We are the shoulder you cry on.
We are the ones that make you laugh when you are down.
We are the ones you have fights with but we always make up.
To be awesome is to be happy.
Life is meant to be lived
Even if it is kinda sappy
That's the way it was meant to be
Every cloud has it's silver lining
the light that shines in the darkest of places
alone it pierces through the fear and anguish
touching the very fiber of the heart
its gentle hand
warm and soft
Cool Kids
We all wish we could be like the cool kids
Fit in the crowd and popular
We don’t see it
We are all the cool kids
We are all one big crowd and popular

Through all the hardships
"Take courage and still be strong"
Things will get better
When life is trapping you in its grip,
Do not back down.
Hold on to those sweet memories;
They always cloud my mind.
I remember the summer,
Before everything I knew became a distant memory.
im cryin my tears are warm from this headache im tryna stand up when im not steady im barley awake but im ready skyies are grey when they should be clear i hear yelling from my family why cant i dissapear ima lost soul living moments
everythings black when i walked in ,this crazy ass house that nobody ever fit in these walls feel cold as we sit around in a circle listeing goose bumps on our arms us together our beliefs in this
To the frat boy who keeps thinking he's the shit
Bro you aren't
We all know mommy and daddy still dress you by the look of your pink polo, baby blue Bermudas, and your basic, worn out Sperry's
A cactus
A softball game
A riddle
A pretty name
My friends
My family
A good book
A preacher's homily
I didn't know
I din't think
I didn't feel
I finally did see
I finally did understand
I finally did feel
I finally did find
Words cannot describe the cards life dealt me with.
It's actually confusing.
Unusual as you can see.
Unusual me.
Unusual as it could be.
Strange but yet interesting.
Strong but yet weak.
Unusual me.
After two years, you threw it all away.
Not so much as two words did you say.
Instead you hid and cowered, "it's just not going to work anymore,"
And with that I got out of your car and slammed the door.
When I was crawling on my knees;
When I was begging,
"God, please";
You formed from my tears,
Took me away from all of my fears.
I held my head,
And to me, you said,
"My girl,
Don't cry.
Sometimes it sneaks up on you
Sometimes more often than others
Late at night, crowded rooms, even when there are lots of people
It finds you
It likes you
When you are A

Tea is my elixir,
from petals,
to branches,
to roots.
Discovering new tastes,
seeking
a delightful scent.
Tepid smell;
the warmth of my soul:
poured in a lavender cup,
This man...
hes troubled..
born and raised in poverty,
raised by an abusive father,
born troubled,
as a child he was never understood,
diagnosed for ADHD,
Then he was autistic.
I think it's awesome when voices shout "injustice!"
in response to oppression and when
women don't just wash tables, but sit at them
I think it's awesome when women are supportive
Being an astonishing African American young lady is awesome to me.Not only do I have poise but I know i'm awesome.
Words twist and fumble
Through your mind
Can't find the right word
Or the right line
You sit, you stare, you breakdown in worry
As if the words have just left you in a hurry
Butterflies swarm in you
