Fear By: Alejandro Rivera I am the worst at being the best. I am the dark growing in your chest. I'm the spear in your heart. I'm the black that causes you to part. I'm the monster under your bed. Or am I just in your head? I'm the shadows in your soul. I'm the demon, black as coal. I'm the worst, I'm the monster, I'm the spear I'm not leaving, because I am fear.

Why Can’t I By: Brianna Ward Why can’t I be anything But not everything? Why can I be the words, Yet not the melody? Why can I be the water, But not the ocean? Why can I be good, But not good enough? Why can I be the jewel But not the crown? If I am not everything Then aren’t I nothing? Why can’t I be the fastest But also the slowest? Why can’t I be the brightest And still the dullest? Why can’t I be weakest Yet still the strongest? Why can’t I be the best And the worst? Why must I always Choose And if I am nothing, Then why do people tell me I can be anything?
Bullying's End By: Winona West Words are knives Actions are bullets It always ends in sadness Jabs can't break my bones I have an invisible shield An armor of purity They can't hurt me I will not take it I will not run It will end in flames The most unlikely of heroes will rise Because they can't hurt us Words are sticks and stones But true friends are a steel sword Defense against all words We are invisible to them But in the end, true, kind and compassionate will always win We have a strength they will never understand Compassion and love are a bully's worst enemy
Secrets of the World Dichele Cantoral The world is a spider’s web Her heart is a lava pot Her air is a jar of candy The world is an evergreen forest that will never grow old Her hair is a jungle of vines The world has skin of soft silk She smells of fresh strawberries Her touch is never gone Her eyes are the stars The world’s voice is my guide

I’m thinking of a Time BY: Jaci Brown I’m thinking of a time when all thoughts used to rhyme and they would dance as they were spoken from your tongue.
Every thought was true or at least that's what I thought when there was once the land of truth. There was no thought of wrong or right just the thought of rhyme as the words would dance off your tongue lost through time.
There was one clock that lovely clock that slowed by the day and the songs that played one hour a day, all of sudden just stopped. But now the time of rhyme is gone the words have been forever lost but as the spokes of time keep turning, there will always be that one rhyme going.
Like By: Tristan Guidry Love is spelled L-O-V-E, It can be crazy as you can see. People say nice things like roses are red violets are blue, But that’s just junk like people saying “oh you’re my boo” They really need to get a life, Love is stupid, that’s my advice. So if you’re sad then so be it, I’m just telling the truth, you have to admit. So stop saying “LOVE” and start using “LIKE” Tie up “LOVE” and send it on a hike. This is how it’s going to be, Open up your eyes and please just see. So now you know the truth about “LOVE”, Let’s rise up and give it a shove. Leave love behind don’t let the snake strike Love isn’t real, you’re all just in like.
I Think That I Shall Never See By: Taylin Adams I think that I shall never see A day as bright as the sun I see A smile so long that I can’t breath A room so colored that I’m filled with glee A tree so tall that I can see the sea Poems are made by fool like me, But when I get writing, well you’ll just see.
I still have crystal days By: Avery Cobbs You may try to hurt my feelings With your evil, twisted ways. With everything you put me through I still have crystal days. Does my happiness upset you? Does it bother you I don’t cry? Because I walk with my own ways I still have crystal days There’s a difference between you and me. It’s the things you choose see It’s the things you choose not to be. The difference between you and me is I walk with my own ways and still have crystal days. Does making me miserable make you feel better? Does what I say or do even mean something to you? Is this all because I can walk with my own ways and sill have crystal days? The crystal gives off so much power is can turn a weed into a flower Just give up the bad things you do and let the crystal transform you. Now you too can walk with your own ways and have crystal days.
Chocolate By: Damien Cuellar I would look around in the cabinet For something that can prove to be a good snack At the corner of my eye I saw a chocolate bar wedged between some fruit snacks The temptation started to infest my head The sugary sweet taste that calms my nerves Coming in different varieties to appease my taste buds Sure it is a little fattening But it’s not like I will be the size of a whale in less than a few minutes I don’t mean to offend any chocoholics I thought for what seemed like an eternity I was about to grab a pack of fruit snacks Then the thought of chocolate started to flow back to my mind I can’t turn down this sweet treat I left my mouth open I started to drool I couldn’t control myself for much longer I don’t care what people say about chocolate You can nag at me all you want You can’t stop me from eating this chocolate Then I stopped to think There is probably a reason Why the chocolate bar is shoved between the fruit snacks The chocolate bar is probably a surprise Or it belonged to one of my family members Whatever the reason was I knew that they hid it So I wouldn’t go on a chocolate rage With that thought in mind I grabbed a pack of fruit snacks instead
Love That Girl By: Savannah Drew Love that girl, Like a balloon in the sky I said I love that girl like A balloon in the sky Love to call her in the evening Love to call her “C’mon Hun” She dances like her mama And grins like her daddy I said she dances like her mama And grins like her daddy She Smiles with joy When she’s sad she frowns
Her mama likes to rock her back and forth And call her her baby I said her mama likes to rock Her back and forth And call her her baby She won’t leave me I know now I won’t leave her either She’s got long paths to Walk to her future Before the rising sun I said she’s got long paths To walk to her future Before the rising sun She’ll be a lone ranger Until they come
Bowling By Jolene Wiley Bowling is like an adventure. It can be as easy like One… Two… Three… You’re out! Whoops… wrong sport. And when you get a Spilt and get a Field goal! Whoops… wrong sport. Again. But the best part of it Is the turkey. Like Thanksgiving.

Where Am I 25 word poem By: Kendall Swindell Where am I Surrounded by fear Crammed in a tiny room 10 children in a single bed I never get to see you In my life
Clausen at the Line (Inspired by Casey at the Bat) By Justin Thorpe The outlook wasn’t brilliant for the Chicago Bears that day The score stood 40-22 with one quarter left to play And after Cutler fumbled twice and Forte did the same A sickly silence fell upon the patrons of the game A straggling few got up to go in deep despair. The rest Clung to that hope which springs eternal in the human breast They thought, if only Clausen could get but a throw would be so fine They'd put up even money, now, with Clausen at the line But Cutler had more minutes, as did also Draft Pick Jake And the former was a lulu and the latter was a fake Though all the fans thought that it was just about time For there seemed but little chance of Clausen getting to the line But Cutler got a touchdown, to the wonderment of all And Jake, the much despised, ripped the laces off the ball And when the dust had lifted, and the men saw what had occurred
They were only ahead by 6, and Minnesota now on third Then from 5,000 throats and more there rose a lusty yell It rumbled through the valley, it rattled in the dell It knocked upon the mountain and up the incline For Clausen, mighty Clausen, was coming to the line There was ease in Clausen's manner as he stepped into his place There was pride in Clausen's bearing and a smile on Clausen's face And when, responding to the cheers, he crouched as you would find No stranger in the crowd could doubt 'twas Clausen at the line Ten thousand eyes were on him as he rubbed his hands with mud Five thousand tongues applauded when they heard his Then while the eager lineman put the ball into the ground Anger gleamed in Clausen's eye, and it showed in his strong frown And now the leather-covered spheroid came hurtling through the air And Casey stood caught it and threw it over there Close by the wide receiver the ball unheeded sped
"You could’ve caught that," said Clausen. "Second down," the referee said From the bleachers, black with people, there went up a muffled roar, Like the beating of the storm-waves on a stern and distant shore "Kill him! Kill the referee!" shouted someone on the stand And it's likely they'd a-killed him had not Clausen raised his hand With a smile of Christian charity great Clausen's visage shone He stilled the rising tumult; he bade the game go on He signaled to the center, and once more the spheroid he found But Clausen still threw it away, and the referee said, "Third down." "Fraud!" cried the maddened thousands, and echo answered fraud
But one scornful look from Clausen and the audience was awed They saw his face grow stern and cold, they saw his muscles strain And they knew that Clausen wouldn't let that ball go incomplete again The sneer is gone from Clausen's lip, his teeth are clenched, not fine He yells with cruel violence his voice upon the line And now Clausen holds the ball, and now he lets it go And now the air is shattered by the force of the linebacker's blow Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout But there is no joy in Chicago — mighty Clausen has gone 3 and out

Birds of a Feather By: Wyheb Tokhli and Abby Oqueli Oqueli:
Wyheb:
You’re a munchkin! You’re just so small!
What are you talking about You’re not very tall!
When I first saw you I thought “He’s bound to grow”
Yeah – Well when I first saw You, I thought “She’ll teach me everything I Need to know”
That’s wonderful!!!! I’m sure you were right

I have to be perfect! I don’t want to fall behind!
Never fear! You’re right where you need to be
How do you know??!! What is it that you see?
Aside from right over your head??
No! Something more helpful instead!
I see two birds of a feather – You’re me when I was little too
So you see Birds of a feather We’ll fly together In perfect Symmetry
Littler . . . but I guess that’s cool
The Majestic Goose By: Erica Miller My favorite animal is the Wild, Free, Goose. Honking loudly and obnoxiously, Without stopping to breathe. They are as beautiful As an ocean. And as I look out my window, I hear the beautiful sound, Of a goose singing its song. HOOOONNNNKKKK! They are as loud as an Army filled with men. As majestic as a rainbow. And as I fill a cup with corn, They race up to me. Clawing their way through, Chasing others away, Fighting over who will get the most corn. Corn is like money to the geese. They fight over it like angry old men. But all the while they Maintain their beauty. And sing their songs of joy. HOOOONNNNKKKK!
I Think That I Shall Never See By: Bailey Inga I think that I shall never see a place as peaceful as the beach The waves crash upon the shore with an ever lasting sound I adore.

A Remarkable Adventure By: Coelbren Chapter I was hunting in the Spine When I found a giant blue stone. When it appeared I said “shiver me whiskers” It scared out of me body every single bone.

I Am A Witness By: Anna Crawford I am a witness Of something so sweet Something so loving, planned, and neat. They started with dinner and some light dinner chat The girl didn’t know what would happen after that All around the couple was Christmas lights and flowers Only adding effect to what would happen in the next hour The chatter in the room went to a slight peep When the man at the table got down on his knee He pulled out a box and opened it up The light caught a ring fit for a queen A string of words flowed out from his lips The tears on her cheeks were just starting to drip The scene before me had me in a shiver It’s the only thing that my brain could deliver The girl was in awe She could barely process So instead of feeling down she felt like a goddess To have a guy so dedicated to win her heart Could be enough to set him apart From all the men looking for temporary love This man wasn’t looking for something to dispose of Instead he wanted a lot more Something to wake up beside and cuddle on the floor I am a witness of something so sweet, something so loving, planned and neat.

People By: Arieanna Escobedo People want to live forever, and want to see the world become. But they try so hard, they can’t stop rushing on by. Rushing and talking; they never stop to notice the true problems. People care for their hair and disasters, but do nothing to help. They spend so much money, so much time. On things, that does not matter. They don’t see the true disasters. When children are crying, or when they are dying. People are to busy to see. When elders are in need on the streets. Who is helping? People are in their homes thinking how the world is perfect, with the ac and heat blowing, they are enjoying. But do they notice the people who don’t get. The relaxing hair do’s or more. The one’s who live the ones who care. Knowing what is actually happening and helping. They notice the ones who are in need, and take the risk to stop. The ones who care upon the ill and suffering so badly, Will and do, live the life of freedom with no worry, With peace among their side. Knowing after the help, everything is gonna be alright.
Courage By: Dalton Lee We met when I was in a dark place. Nowadays Courage is my ally, I find Courage when no one helps me. In my life I’ve known fear. We met when I was in a dark place. These days Fear is around the corner, waiting for you. Fear finds me when I am alone. I’ve learned that Fear and Courage are different. When Courage tells me to get back up, Fear says I’ll put you back down. Usually I listen to my heart. I wish Fear would fear me. I wish Courage wouldn’t help me, I wish I would help myself.

The Poem of Work By: Jaden Arao When you fall, do you get up? When you run into a wall do you continue? When you struggle, do you give up? When you are strong, what do you do? Do you focus on a couple of things or multiple things? When you are in pain, do you cry? Do you overcome anything you face? Do you work for what you earn? YOU ARE STRONG, SO TAKE ADVANTAGE When you fall, Get up. When you run into a wall, Move on. When you struggle, keep on going. When you are strong, then be strong. Don’t just focus on a couple of things, but focus on multiple things. When you feel pain, its alright because, its just weakness in your body. When you face something, you get stronger. When you face something, you get stronger. Make yourself work for what you will want later on. NEVER GIVE UP.
Best Friends By: Kaitlyn Ribblett I count on you my friend, Sometimes I feel in this world, I’m all alone, Not a single person in sight to call my own, Then I close my eyes and your face comes in sight. And makes me realize that I was not right. Your presence makes loneliness itself such a myth, You my friend put my entire life perfectly in sync, I count on you for every little piece of advice, Cause it is only you who understands me and it’s so nice, Best friends that we are, will be forever, Our hearts will be always be blended together, And never ever go away my dearest best friend, May this friendship that we share have end.

Silent Lunch By: Ariel Adamczyk Walking in class to a lady with a visitors pass sitting upright in my teacher’s chair. Going through my mind is a bunch of thoughts telling me OH NO! She’s going to leave our class pulling out her hair I can only imagine how far my class will go. Will they rip up the books on the shelf? Maybe they’ll shoot rubber bands up and down the aisles. Shell try and tell them rules, but they’ll just listen to themselves. Yells, laughs, and giggles leaving kids with smiles. We are going to be left a bad note. Well maybe if I act as a teacher’s pet I will be spared. No need to gloat. But as I was brownnosing my class just glared. I didn’t want to be looked at as the teacher’s pet, so I sunk along with my crew. We were loud and obnoxious. Silly and disobedient. and at the end…. SILENT LUNCH.

Untitled By: Breonna Peterson I am an angle of God I walk with him through the path of everlasting life. I was an angel and they were devils. The devil said come little angle I’ll take you away into a world of no pain. My soul was whole and my heart was strong I let him in without a cry the good little strong angel faded away locked in a box, stored in the devil’s hands. The big wicked world was slowly going away. The angel busted out no more will I cry no more will I hide I will fear no evil for he is with me no more no more will I. the light of the heavens sing to me forever is our always and are always is okay no more will I be with the evil the lies the bad, the hate the hurt the pain the devil all they are is just my battle scars left in the box in the devil’s hands. They are forever marked on my skin, but I am free the pain is this there the memory is not lost. Just locked. I am free I am free.
