A label, a legend Coco Chanel,An extraordinary designerWho made cheap, jersey fabric sell.
She spoke her mindPeople thought she was mad.Coco was never confinedTo the boundaries of the time
She opened her own businessNever room for lazinessDedicated to what she loved Coco pushed and shoved.
She told people off,When she was questioned.And if they scoffedShe was only strengthened. Dark hair, red lipstick,All done with careThe little black dressThat made people stare.
She was like a childGiddy when she styled.Coco Chanel is a legend, That can’t be denied.
I AmI am
Volleyball, Nature, and the Dark.I like music and reading.
Creativity, Bravery, and Love are important to me.I understand people’s feelings
I make mistakes regularlyBut I learn from themI like the color green
I can be trusted with secrets
I think spending time with friends is importantThis is me. I AM.
Stay GoneShall I compare thee to a blank window?Your eyes are as cloudy as the cold frostHitting me like a strong bow and arrowYou made me sad and I felt I was lost.
If you think about coming back, stay gone .I hate you now despite what you may think.People may think that I am now withdrawn.You shot out the door before I could blinkI’m stronger without you, I know that now
I never ever wish you would come backI used to like you I don’t really know how
Now that your gone my life is back on track
You’re out of my life for good now so pleaseStay out. You suck and everyone agrees
The wind whistles quickBlowing by your ears so fast
The wind. So Fast. Stops.
My best friend is Clumsy and Loud. She is Creative and Helpful when I need something. But be careful
she is Crazy, you can figure this out when she is chasing Cars.
My mind is a lion Trapped in a cage
Roaring for food to satisfy its hungerEven though the ringmaster lets the lion out
He wont leave the safety Of his comfortable cage
Alejandro.
Alejandro is a therapist.He embraces my problems
and makes them into music.When I need to vent
he is always there,to listen to my visions.
My Limerick
There once was a strange little girlWho liked to do nothing but whirl
She knew she was strangeBut she would never change
And then she got eaten by a squirrel
