YOU In the silence of the night,

I hear you. In the darkness of the room,

I see you. With your jacket in my arms,

I smell you. With the numbness of my heart,

I feel you.

Playing Great I walked down to my aunts to get some lunch. She said ‘you will play great, I have a hunch.’ I went down to the park to play my game, What do you know, it started raining late. When we were done my coach yelled to me ‘Wait!’

It turned out she was right, I had played great.

Home away from Home With your soft sandy beaches, And your quiet rolling waves,

You are my home away from home. The sound of laughter,

The sight of smiling faces, The warmth of the sun burning bright.

The smell of great food, The feeling of being in the right place.

You are my home away from home. I wish I could be there, Going all around town,

Seeing the sights, Visiting the wonderful places.

You are my home away from home. But I am here,

Waiting for next time To visit my happy place. If only for a day or two,

Maybe even a week, For you are my home away from home.

A dream With you warm gaze, And your smile bright, You are what gets me

through the night. Thinking of you,

Here with me, Thinking ‘maybe one day… He’ll get down on one knee.’

I hold the passion we share so dear, When you whisper you love me

In my listening ear. Waiting for you To hold my hand To whisk me off

To our wondrous land. A place where we can play all And then just talk the night

away. All I really want Is me with you.

I can only hope That’s what you want too.

I didn’t Know I didn’t know you would do this. You were cute, you were funny.

I thought it was right. It was great while it lasted,

Then it ran its course. I didn’t know it would be like this.

You told me things that chilled me to the bone.

I was scared that it was true, I didn’t know how to handle it. I was too young to take this on,

You were broken, I thought it was my fault.

I didn’t know I had only set it off. Why would you do this to me?

I should have known better, Yet I came back again and again.

I didn’t know it would happen like this. You lied to me repeatedly

And made me fall hard. It was too late when I realized;

I came crashing to the floor. You never touched me, but you broke me to

pieces.

I didn’t know there was pain like this. I had never known heart break until

you. How could I let this happen?

I was only a little girl, It wasn’t supposed to be like this.

But all because of you, I have learned my lesson.

Now I know what was wrong, I know what feels right.

now I am strong, Scared no more.

I know how to handle myself. You will never affect me again.

Every great thing I do Is in spite of you.

I didn’t know you would do this. I didn’t know you would be The greatest thing for me.

How could it turn out this way? Happier, stronger, smarter.

Waiting for the right guy to come along,

Because I know it could never be you.

Ode to Nature

The nice caressing breeze

And beautiful colored trees. The time spent with your friends

Wishing it would never end. The smell of all the flowers Have such magical powers. The sun is burning bright But then it turns to night.

The awesome soccer games Even in the rain.

I hate that people would kill her Oh our beautiful nature.

Mary Lou’s Shoes

There once was this girl Mary Lou Who had problems tying her shoes. One say Bob said hey When walking her way And said ‘you know, I will teach you!’

Kim There is this girl, her name is Kim, She always gets kicked in the shin.

One day I asked why While eating my pie

And she said it just helps me win.

A walk by One day I just walked to the park

I realized it was getting dark. I walked by a field,

Saw some guys with shields, And noticed they all were in LARP.
