Planner
Notes, records, documents, scribbles
Sibling of a schedule
Lover of hallways passes
Who fears the words “project” and “test” written on its pages
Who needs to pass quickly, yet knows nostalgia will kick in once it passes
Who gives neatness
Who would like to see June 13th come now
Resident of my book bag, or my hand
Organizer

Teachers try to understand us
And understand where we’re coming from
Because us as students
We unite as one
They figure if they understand one
They have us all figured out
But they will never understand what we are all about
We are stereotyped and categorized, analyzed and criticized
But half of us are up to not good
In the teachers’ eyes
Most of us really want to learn
We really do
But the main thing that is stopping us is mainly you
Please take no offence
I’m just explaining from a student’s point of view.

Life is a gift that cannot be wasted
The time we have here to leave our mark
Is taken for granted
Many lay
Many complain
Many forget
What we can achieve
They sit and do nothing
Wasting their time
Asking others to make a change
Nothing will ever be done
If there is only one
Humanity is a large population
With a large mind
Many forget that they have a choice
They rather others make the choice
We are the people
Its time to spark
There are no mind readers
Only people who speak their mind
There are problems to be solved
Questions to answer
Make that step or you lose
It’s time for you to choose
Help others
Raise your voice
Find the solution
Help stop the pollution
Not only the pollution in the atmosphere
But the pollution in people’s minds
Do what’s right
And help stop the fight

The Balcony gazes over the clear blue sky
That holds the wonders of the world
The Sun embraces the sand
While the waves dance elegantly
The beach caresses each individual part
And the shells clench on to the see shore
The current rarely swallows swimmers
The beach beams with excitement
And that is why it is my home

There are times when things go right
Times when things go wrong
You have to keep your head up
And never look down
Don’t fill your body with hatred
Fill it with hope and love
Surround yourself with positivity
Keeping a smile because everyone can understand
What it truly means to be comfortable in oneself

Graduation cap thrown into the air
I claim these twelve years.
I never understood the tradition
But it’s playing a part in my transition
To a world that I’m blinded to.
I’m starting to think that I can finally be on my own
All the while I’ve got one foot stuck
In the doorway of my home.
Is it really new-found freedom if I’m homesick?
I’m homesick.

A seed placed in the ground
small and perfectly shaped
covered well with dirt to protect it
It waits, still and patient,
being nurtured from time to time
with sun and soil as its food
and water for its thirst
It grows as time goes by
No longer jus a seed
But an object reaching maturity
out comes a sprout from a hard seed cover
Then another and another
Rooted firmly in the ground
the seed rises and stands on its own
Its long stem, sturdy
built with strength
The seed now a bud,
scared to open to the world
soft and delicate its petals grow
open for all to see its beauty
The sun rays fall on the petals
which were once upon a time a seed
