It’s ok to be green or red or blue
It’s ok to be happy or even sad too
It’s ok to be anything that you want to
But most of all it’s ok to be you
If I had a nickel for every embarrassing or ridiculous situation that I somehow squeezed myself into I would definitely have a few nickels. A good example would be my class trip to Washington DC when I was a junior in high school.
"Your smile fades
As you look away
I see the broken pain
That is causing me shame
Why couldn't I see
What was pointed out so clearly
I went looking for trouble
But it was right in front of me
"They see my scars
They see my eyes
Look past my skin
It's just a disguise
It tears me apart
A shot to the heart
To see you look through me
You call, but not to me
Call me names
You ask me if I'm sad;I tell you I'm ok.You ask me if I'm mad;I tell you I'm ok.You ask me if I'm happy;I tell you I'm ok.I fake a smile everyday;To show you I'm ok.But deep down inside,
Tired of winters
And swollen rivers
Chests heaving
People leaving
Want to sleep
Maybe for weeks
Need to sleep
Maybe for weeks
What we wanted to be so badly as a child
Has slowly become reality
What we yearned for with our friends,
Creeped up on us without warning
I, was 5 small and blind to the world and life
She cries into the nightAs she heads for the skyHer face is full of PainShe has nothing to gain. She cries herself to sleep
The style of learning is nowhere to be,
In the 80's it was creative,
the 90's was fun,
the 00's became ingesting information,
that was not learning,
Students do not understand the ideas anymore,
In that momentdarkness had passedbut how long would it last?the shield of Sun was gaining-a sheer partition to it's raysthe Moon shifted her gazehiding behind stars that gleam
Things that were so large now seem like nothing at all
When residents leave their shelters they can't help but fall
Material possessions that used to mean so much
Now they just need a loving touch.
