Soaring By: Aaron Boggan Fly really high Tons of different birds in the sky. You fly like nothing Things never get boring When you are soaring There are no fears High above the deers No mighty roaring Always exploring When you are soaring
Free Verse - Walls - Alexa Coughlan
I can’t see through these walls that people put up around them. They think that if they cover up themselves they’ll be a gem. That’s not true though. By putting up these walls they are blocking out help. Nowhere to go. Nowhere to blow. People cry out with pain. Don’t they know that without pain you don’t gain? Don’t they realize the world hurts? Your heart can go off like fireworks. Change moods and colors just like that. But once they’re done their heart goes flat. Can’t they see that? They are hurting themselves. There is no truth to be told. Their heart will rot, and it will mold. They need to uncover. They are just another lover. They need to be loved. Feel the trust of others. Why can’t they see that? Do they feel the need to cover up? But one day, the wall will collapse. And the bricks will go corrupt

My friend didn’t believe she was beautiful. People would always come up to her and say she was, but deep down she wanted to look them in the eye and say “Beautiful? What? You’ve got the wrong person.” But instead she put on a smile and said “Thank you!” I knew she didn’t want to come as rude but still how can u believe something other people say if you cant believe it yourself. She would always say “why was I born? it just happened. No on notices that im trapped inside screaming and scratching, yet no one hears and just been hiding behind a smile for 13 years. As each tear falls I build up my walls. While, every color fades away. As I look in the mirror with a neckless made of rope, then I ask myself will there ever be hope.” But it all changed when you laughed stupidly over a book and not even caring at other people’s looks and all I could say was “ That was beautiful” she smiles with tear falling down her face but you and God have saved me from these cursed chains of fate.

A Poem About Love By: Bianca Cooney
V
Love is not a game That you want to play It is not the same It has its own way Love is powerful, strong, bright Says the saying love is the night So when you call me ugly it is hurt you seek But not from me I will turn the other cheek For you I will not hold a grudge My appearance is not for you to judge And yes she maybe prettier than me But it’s what’s inside you need to see But under all her gloss and foundation You will see she is God’s creation

Autumn It’s a cold autumn eve, Not spring to deceive. Everything and everyone is hushed.
It feels as if something is different, The wind so belligerent. It’s officially autumn!

Bad Girls
By: Zoe Russ
Nobody can tell me what to do, I’ll swing my bat then I’ll make a breakthrough. Oh hold on now this will only be a minute. Don’t be mad because I’m cute and independent. These lyrics will be heard because I have the time. Don’t want to hear them I’ll give you a piece of my mind. Now hold on now let's go back and rewind,til the part where I’m unidentified. I guess it’s true what they say about crashing a good party, still don’t know my name, oh my name’s Harley. Good to meet ya, I should probably go back. Oh, Yes I lied this party is whack.
The End
