I have take your candy.

And wish you were saving for dessert.

Forgive me it was filled with amazing taste of fruit.

She stood on the edge of her world
with invisible wings, tattered and torn
slowly patching themselves
deciding right then
that she would renew her own scars
lashes strung with dewdrops of freedom
she soaked in the power of exisiting
as life danced under her skin
color collided with curiosity in her irises
eager hands stretched
toward her own future
that teasingly strut in front of her
free from the capture of another, she was her again
she glowed with multi-faceted truths
she found herself in the gentle lift of her heels from the ground
fo the breath filling her lungs
like the filling of a pool with crystal clear water
and in the sure, steady beat
of her own repaired heart.

Augustus Gloop loves to feast
On chicken, sausage and other meat
He is chubby, and messy at the table
Bring him a tray with a giant bagel
He will gobble it up with all his might
Not leaving a crumb or sharing a bite.

We have to find Will
Running around recklessly
Eleven will help

Oh to be a ball of fluff
It doesn’t even sound like much
But to be a cat
I would enjoy just that

To climb a tree,
Filled with glee
To be a cat
I would enjoy just that

To have nine lives
I could just relive
To be a cat
I would enjoy just that

To get petted nice and snug
I could get a hug
To be a cat
I would enjoy just that

Eternity
Lasting Forever
Going on and on
Starting at the end
Ending at the beginning
So it always repeats
And never ends

Before the world came to be
After it is gone
winding through the grassy plains
Climbing up mountains
Winding through different universes
Oh, It’s forever

Eternity, Eternity
Some love you
Some loathe you
You create age but
Unlike life
You are there
After they are gone

My family is a closet. My dad is like jeans, sturdy and able to get through hard times. My mom is a t-shirt, flexible and loose. My brothers are socks, because like socks they stick together (but sometimes they stink). I am a hat or jacket, protecting from cold, heat or rain. The name Petershagen is like shoes, so many different types but with one defining quality: we support the wearer.

Today is school
School in Japan

Quiet and Peaceful
Like you’re at a library

Old and beautiful
different from America

We wear sneakers in school
They don’t

We eat in the Cafeteria
They don’t

We bring lunchboxes
They don’t

We go to school in vehicles
They don’t

We have friends
And they do too

I have drank
All the juice boxes
In the fridge
I have made an unforgivable mistake

I knew you
Were saving them
For lunches

Sorry
They were
So sugary
So surprisingly sweet
So satisfying
Also grape
My favorite
