My Family Is

My family is a clock

My mom are the numbers
keeping us on track and time

My brother are the hands
always in motion

My dad is the glass
holding us together

I am the rim bold and outstanding
My family is a clock

The Tenth Floor Tradgedy

We were all working as hard as we could
So we could get paid and go home
But one day a fire started
No one noticed until it was to late
This is how it all began

We all had to decide our fate
We had to either burn to death
Or jump to our death
I wasn’t ready to end my life this way
But if this was what god wanted for me
Then i had to accept it

As I headed off into my after life
I looked down at all the mourning families
Who had lost people they loved
And I sent them my faith and sympathy
That is the story of the tenth floor tragedy

My Magic Box

I will put in the box
The whispering of wind through trees
A curtain made of gold
Colors no one has ever seen before.
I will put in the box
A feather from the bird of fire
The wings of a pegasus
A prophecy hiding the fate of the world.
I will put in the box
The brightest star in the galaxy
A starfish from the deepest seas
A silver sunflower that has everything.
I will put in the box
The shadows of those who came before
A priceless chandelier from the poor
The beauty of Autumn, never fading away
My box is accomplished dreams and glittery bubbles
Heavenly lights and sapphires as blue as the ocean
I shall fly in my box
High up in the clouds
Warm and fluffy like cotton candy.

Me!

Fun, cool, happy and sad
Sister of dog, Max
Lover of Mom, dog and Hamilton
Who feels playful at gaga
Quiet and enjoyable
Who needs food, sun and playtime
Who gives time, work and love
Who fears life, death, and movies
Who would like to see Katy Perry, King of Pop & Malala

I have a love/hate relationship with the shower
Get in
Strip off my slowly thickening layers of skin
One for regular people
One for friends
One for best friends
One for family
Only skeleton bones remain
I examine each layer and ask myself
“Do you like it? Do you like you?”
I respond no and ponder over why
Too shy
Too fake
Trying too hard
Too mean
Until I get to me
Me myself and I
Only i am allowed to see this part of me
This is the part of me that counts, the part of me that really matters. I can change all my layers using this part
Do I like me
Once I strip down, peel away all the layers of who I’d like to be
Do I like myself
Weighing the pros and cons of my soul, seeing which bones I can break & which one can be broken in the right place & which ones cannot be broken, the ones that can never be touched
Truly look at who you are
Do I like it?
Do I like myself?

No

{look in the mirror and ask your soul if you’re alright}

In honor of my best friend

The girl in the shadows.
Who no one truly knows
not a joiner
not a fighter
she does whatever goes
She stands up and does what’s right
and no one knows
Oh how she loves to read and write
and speak
and keep the light
of the world
keep hope alive and everyone fails
to see the hero she can be
