Ode to Mother

You love me and take care of me so

How did you become such a good mother?

I truthfully do not know.

Even when I get in fights with my younger brother,

When I act wrong you discipline me to teach a lesson

Even though I don’t like it, I know truthfully

That you’re just trying to prepare me for the real world(at least I’m guessin’)

You support me in everything that makes me me

From swimming to marching band

You always meet what I need

And when I have a lot of work or I’m in trouble you always lend a hand

Please try not to be worried

As I move through high school I will act perfectly

So before I say adieu

I would like to say so badly

I LOVE YOU!!!

 Never

Never have I loved a boy

Deep down with all my heart.

Never had I had my heard broken

By a boy who didn’t know what was good for him.

Never have I cried

Over a boy who didn’t love me back.

Never have I been put under pressure

For something I didn’t want to do.

Never have I had a good boyfriend

That treats me right and shows me off.

Never have I had a lot of these things,

Some I wish for, some I don’t.

I know most of these things

Will happen in due course,

Maybe I will like it,

Maybe I won’t.

But whatever happens,

Life’s life.

Never can you do anything about it.

You just have to let it happen.

I ain't everyone

I’m not everyone

I may do things different

In my own way.

I might not act like everyone

Don’t be surprised,

I ain’t everyone.

I’m not everyone

I see things differently.

Imagination touches everything I do.

I can touch on a point,

No one has even thought of.

Don’t be surprised,

I ain’t everyone.

I’m not everyone.

I’m childish.

I love Disney VHS movies.
I’m in the band,

And I LOVE it!

My favorite things are

Marching band,

Drumline,

And winter guard.

When you hear these things,

You might think, “wow, she’s a loser”

But I don’t care.

Just remember,

I ain’t everyone.

 Sad

Sad is when…

You would rather be arguing with one person,

Then kissing someone else.

Your best friend turns their back on you

For a boy, or another friend.

When the boy you like lies,

And breaks your heart.

When you try your hardest,

But you never seem good enough.

When the boy you like leaves you for another girl,

And your best friend isn’t there to give you a hug.

When letting go of something is hard,

But holding on to it is even harder.

Your best friend changes

Into something you don’t know or like.

You can’t act like yourself

Because of what everyone might think.

When an old dog, or young puppy

Suddenly dies without you getting to say goodbye…

Sadness, one of the eight basic emotions,

Most people want to live without it,

But without it, how would we know what true happiness is?
