Films are storys brought out to life.
The heart skippes a beat
A smile is drawn on your face
Some people are inspired by the Earth,
Others by the sea,
I’m one of those that look up to the sky.
Though it’s not for the stars,
Nor the moon or planets.
I like to sit and watch.
You only get one life.
Like the last bite, inhale until full.
Breathe and release the changes.
"Good Morning, Ms. Mai Xee",
everyday as the students walk in.
Bright little smiles,
maybe missing a few teeth.
Sitting in their seats and eager to learn.
Pulling out their crayons,
People look at warzones
Like they have just seen Lucifer
Descend from the sky
Blood
Enemies
And brutality
Scattering amongst each footstep he takes
Leaving in a tornado of disaster
To live and to dream
to go far and beyond
to live the dream
is only a fond
The extra mile
is all I need
to make others smile
in their time of need
To change my life
Just one job may change my life,
Something to satisfy my future wife.
What job would it be?
Take one step closer, and you will see...
To be an Anesthesiologist would change it all,
Ever since I was a child,
I've been dancing day and night
Regardless of injury, no matter the circumstance,
Dancing has been my flight.
Now, I am older
And I see everything in a different way than before
My entire life I’ve known what I wanted to be
A future in medicine fills my heart with glee
Dreams; though they fly vicariously through my mind and soul daily..
Only one resides like residue deep within me..
It quickens me, and beckons me..
Because that need falls heavily.. Oh so, heavenly
I strive and strive to reach the top.
Never ever thinking to stop.
All I hear is “Go harder, Keep pushing!” and “Be number 1!”
But what if number 2 is all I got?
They claim words don’t hurt,
Writing a song, play, or movie
is nothing compred to a well written story.
Words on a page mean nothing at all
if your heart is not going through it all.
A part of me I wil never replace
I am a young child.
I am in school surrounded by peers.
I am asked what I want to become.
I am starting to dream about careers.
I am a young teen.
Ideas fly through our heads every day
Big ideas
Little ideas
It doesn't matter
they're always there
I was given the talent to make sense of my own ideas
This is not my dream job
but i do it to make this world better
no more crying please don't sob
i do it for the people
not just for the united states i do it for the world
It's too bad my Dedication and Sophistication wouldn't cut it ,
they say I need the Education
I say make it so that we can get it
Time passes by
Each hour becomes a year
Movies have always captured my attention,
I will stay up late and watch many.
The next day I fall asleep and go to detention.
In my confinement time I dream about not being involved with just one movie, but maybe twenty!
I always loved to help.
So when I woke up for work,
At four in the morning,
And got socks from my sister's room,
I wondered why she didn't ask to talk,
Before taking 3 bottles of prozac and pills.
A High School StudentBeing so super fluentWorking on that Notepad ++Typing up some C ++Working hard in a teamMaking Apps in a gleamDebugging and testingLook at this time im wasting
When I ponder over life and death
Or contemplate adventure with bated breath
I can’t help but be drawn to a quiet nook
Where I can pour my heart into a beloved book
An individual that takes pride in their versatility.
An athlete that has passion in more than just the sport.
A student that continues to grow.
A person that does not see limits.
My dream job is to provide and direct a program that prevents bullying
Hurting someone doesn’t bring you joy
It brings any bully power that they need
Rushing into the flame
Sprinting in fact
Full speed to make sure everything is intact
Words invade the empty space in my mindFlow through my veinsAnd formulate through my pencilThey live deep within meRevealing my emotions
It is amazing how one thing so small can change your life
Something that comes out of no where or slowly develops over time.
Just one job could change everything for me
As the violent winter wind whips my chapped lips,
I can’t help but smile;
mouth cracking at the seams
at the sight of Pike Street
glittering in its unearthly way in the December evening.
With paper like my holy grail/
Fingers that mean savior/
I write my path/
Words that are footprints padding against even the harshest of hearts/
They can change your mind/
Money isnt important
its not about the work-load
its about enjoying life and inspriring others
saving children from themselfves, parents and those pre-teen twelves
because music is my passion
Like a bird I'll fly free,
I'll stop at a tree,
I won't stay too long,
I'll have to move on.
In a spring forest I know I should not be,
Where beautiful flowers bloom,
As work goes by, and while I try
There's one question that they ask:
"Tanner, congrats on getting in! Now what's your goal or task?"
"Well there's one problem," I say to them, "It's actually quite funny."
A single moment...
One simple thing
could be what turns out
to redefine me.
I may not know when it happens,
So must choose for the wise
in all of my choices
throughout my life.
My care for people
Will never cease to exist.
My sense of patience
Will complete me until the day I die.
Children have my heart,
Every one of them.
The sweet and innocent,
A woman can't be an astronaut;
or so I've been told;
Women should watch the house;
Fresh lungs take their first breath of air
The mother’s joyous cries fills the room with flair
Years are constantly passing by quicker than a fox
The blonde blue eyed girl feels trapped in a box
