The Confusing Thing Called Life Sarah Eichler
Rainbows A sparkling banner, flying high, That A+ on the test, Getting on the honor rolls, Feeling the waves hit your feet, That one rainbow, on a rainy day. When your best friends are finally on your team, Winning the final game of the season, Pictures at the last school dance, The final dismissal of the year, That one rainbow, on a rainy day.

Dance Every hour. Every day. Every year. Nights of cramps; Days of pain; Stretching out and doing splits, Getting kicked in the face during battements, It's all worth it, because this is my life. Killing my ankles on point, Bending back toenails, Cause they weren't cut short, Falling out of doubles or fouettes, Spending hundreds of dollars. On shoes. It's all worth it, because this is my life. Finding mold on the tap boards, Setting off the alarm in the studio, Blasting music. At 200 volume, Walking with a trash can. On my head, It's all worth it, because this is my life. Audio link: http://bit.ly/1usowtm
The Creatures of This World An animal is happiness wrapped up in skin, A bird is hope, flying across the world, A dog is joy, frolicking through meadows, A cat is the fence, keeping us in place, But humans are the destroyers, making these animals disappear. Zoos are to protect the precious creatures, Forests are to house them and keep them safe, Reservations are to keep them in this place called Earth, Homes are to keep them feeling like they belong, And humans build these places to feel like they are helping. The World. Factories are the things, polluting their habitats, Houses are the things, taking their homes away. Roads are the things, destroying their territory Cars are the things, plowing through their lives, But humans are the destroyers, making these animals disappear. Audio link: http://bit.ly/1usowtm
