we sit and we wonder how the world is going under but we dont know how to worry cuz we run in a hurry to a place were we sit and cry, just waiting till the day we die..... we lie, sigh,cry, ask the question why?.... why were scarred to be heard, with the truth that NEEDS to be blurred... what, what. what is it that we hide inside beside the things that we feel which is real like the truth that blurred and was heard from those who mind to be kind..... to us.... outside..... of our hearts on the world which is under cuz we wonder....... WHAT?!

HAPPINESS
ReplyDeleteHappiness uplifts me
Happiness fills my heart, my mind, and my soul
Happiness gives me the strength I need
Happiness is a good feeling that enters my mind each day
Happiness takes my sadness away
Happiness fills my eyes with joy
Happines makes me excited and thrilled
Happines warms my heart and soul each day
Happiness gives me a sense of relief each day
Happiness welcomes me each morning when I get up
Happiness can be seen in my eyes...

Standing outside my eyes closed burning from the crying. not much to do but just stair. having so much to say but little comes out. But all that comes in minds were the problems we had at home.
ReplyDeleteSitting on the wet grass with the cold air blowing my hair, thinking about why was i crying in the first place...I have forgotten everything that happened in the past moments that past.

ReplyDeleteCheated!
ReplyDeleteWhat should I do when I fell for you?
What should I do when the love I gave you left when you cheated on me?
What should I do when I found out you mooched on some dude?
I felt lonely and depair, knowing you lit someone else's flair.

ReplyDeleteI'm up here, you're down there.

I want to go swim,i promise i have no fear.
All those fish,sharks and more.
I better get a good camera from the store.
I'm next to you, You're next to me.
Lets go underwater and take some pictures...shall we?

We can hear the earth roar and rumble
ReplyDeleteAs innocient people are scared and stumble
The tragedy is over,but not the fear
but wait is anyone...anyone hear???
You can hear the ambulance coming
but all you see are bees that are buzzing
The sky above is very shady
The earthquake here that happened in Haiti

My eyes, so bloodshot, so red, so.....
ReplyDeleteI lie here, paralyzed, cant move, cant see.
I cry nothing but bloody red tears.
You look at me, I look at you, and all i do is cry because it hurts so much inside.
I love you, but do you love me?

Music is life

Music is what brings us together

Music is the cherry on top of your ice cream

ReplyDeleteNever great.
Sumtimes fun ??
No, my mistake
I get sleepy
Itz hard to stay awake
I start dreamin' of my day
I wish school was over

but when the teacher told to stay....
He asked me
what did you today??....

a flambé sunset bastes me
ReplyDeleteand the tired landscape
in impossible orange
as
long shadows chase the horizon
into ominous twilight
and the earth seems to slow down
for
a silver dollar moon to peek out
and climb the black ladder of night
its aura drowning the twinkling stars
I listen to small sounds
of early evening's creatures
who rustle and scurry to prepare
for
another dangerous foray
into the wonder world
of urban jungle magic
-ELIZABETH QUIROZ
video games are fun
ReplyDeletevideo games is what i do best

video games are simple to me

what is happiness
ReplyDeletewhen you feel 100 percent
when you feel life just got better
when you look inside that special someones eyes
what is happiness
not feeling caged in
when you finally let it out neer your best friend
what is happiness
hard to explain
take laughing with friends
its all the same
-Alan Anderson

I want you back grandma
ReplyDeleteIwant you back with me
Iwan you back so my days
wont be filled with sadness
I want you here during the day
I want you here at night
I want you back so my nights
wont be filled with horrible visions
I want you back because i miss you
grandma
If I knew you were going to leave
I would've saved the pictures on my
laptop
Zaria S.
When i saw you dead in the E.R bed
ReplyDeleteI thought about the good times we have shared
I hope you know we truly cared
I just cant believe that youy are gone now
We all cried at your dreadful funeral
And watched your tribute with great memories
We watched your casket get laid underground
And remembered that you wanted to go
That no more worries and problems were solves
And no more needles in your skinny arm
We hope you know we have always loved you
And we will never forget about you
We were selfish for having you stay
And put you through horrible days.
Zaria S.

Monroe
Those crystal like flakes that fall from the sky
They help me forget, but i cant help but cry
The flakes leave me a white blanket of snow
Now i sit here on the doorstep of Monroe
The house is alone and do is my heart
but like the priest said,"till death do us part"
I remember we use to sit together..here
and you would whisper "I love you" into my ear
I remember the memories and places we'd go
Now here I sit on the doorstep of Monroe
Those crystal like flakes that fall from the sky
Everyone can see the sparkly tears in my eyes
I lay down on the white blanket of snow
and let all the memories go as time goes by slow

Sonnet:a poem with 14 lines
ReplyDeleteThe Sun
The Sun is bright
Just like a candle light
i see you every morning
But not at night
You shine like an crystal white
Your bright is like twilight light
The birds are singing at the top of tree
And I'm counting the One,Two,and Three
As long as you still shining
We will not stop singing
By hour of waiting and your fading away
The birds are flying away as I walk away
If the day comes that I will not see you ever
You'll always be in my heart forever...

ReplyDeleteEarth
Earth is the only place we can live
Where people, plants , and animals grow
Theres chinese,african american,mexican,and white
Also theres males and femalesthats the way we are
Sunlight and dark in the sky
Green grass,dirt,and sand on the surface
Fruits,vegetables,and grain by people farming
Trees help us out like pencils,books,and paper
There's lakes,oceans,and beaches
Also hills,rain,snow,and mountains
The air we breath in and out everyday
The animals we see that are beautiful
The people that are different
the earth we will all live forever

ReplyDeletei used a rhyme scheme..everyother line rhymes like A line rhymes with B line..goes on and on
If i'm all alone in a room and it's dark,
I need a pen, paper and my Fender guitar.
You said that you would be here soon,
I didnt think you were gonna be very far
I sit here writing a song, and waiting for a call.
Theres no ring, not even a sound, nothing at all
I need to know where you are, are you safe? are you comming home?
If i had magic, and if i could, i would totaly make you a clone.
you told grandma you were gonna have a beer with your friends,
You had a little too much and unfortunately your life had to end.
Now were at your funeral and i see you in your casket,
Mom's holding me whule i touch your hair, and lave beside you some flowers in a small tiny basket.
It's time to say goodbye, i know ill see your ghost,
So please drop by sometime, i know ill see your gohst
