    My life
    My family was working everyday
    I was alone in my room and watching
    Home and lonely in dark and yesterday
    Down in my bedroom was me sleeping

    I needed to take a dark flight tonight
    Because I was needed for an expo
    I will contact you when I see the light
    They just called me so I needed to go

    I could not think of what to write about
    My mind drew a blank as I tried to think
    I slammed my hands on the keys with a pout
    And my thoughts went down the drain of the sink

    The rose is red with a greener leaf stem
    Shining in moonlight it perfumes the night
    I went to grab but thorns protect this gem
    My other two senses envy my sight

    I saw the beautiful flowers before,
    All the colors were bright as a rainbow,
    I was curious to see many more,
    It was like a bright and colorful show.

    Watermelon shines bright in the sunlight
    When I get home I like to eat it then
    Then I go outside in the dark with fright
    One time I saw a really big fat hen

    Summer is coming and is almost here,
    Everyone wants to go out in the sun,
    Winter faded away which made us cheer,
    So now we can go outside and have fun.

    I like to go home and eat lots of food
    From fruits to vegetables and even junk
    The food always puts me in a great mood
    Then I get up and dance to Uptown Funk

    An eagle can fly up in the blue sky.
    Looking for its prey down below with glee.
    With its big, brown wings, both soaring up high.
    The eagle rushes down very quickly.

    The night shines bright in the sparkly sky
    I look up to see the stars beam up there
    I love the beautiful sight way up high
    This view is to valuable to share

    Shatters of glass do fall on the cold floor,
    And her limp body falls no longer warm,
    And brings the darkness inside of our core,
    They all come out in sadness and in mourn.

    When nightfall comes the moon will fall and kill.
    After the moon falls, people become blind.
    Once the moon falls, the people become ill.
    The moon falls, the people's minds become kind.

    The day of WrestleMania has gone by
    So the night after will be a good thrill.
    The fireworks will be set to the sky
    and the fans will be sent to the bay hills

    After school I like to go to the park
    I go with my friends and my family
    I like to go on the swings and the slide

    There is many myths that will blow your mind,
    Like the cow that flew over the grey sky,
    Or witches with hats and rats that are blind,
    And the fairy dust that will let you fly.

    I went to a pet store and bought a dog
    He doesn't really get along with pat
    He was a male dog so I named him Doug
    And if you didn't know Pat is my cat

    Bunnies, so soft, so cute like white snow balls.
    Hop,hop, they go and eat grass and carrots.
    I went to the movies in the big mall,
    And at the mall I saw some cute parrots.

    You can not escape the great grips of time
    Slow decay consumes everything thats built
    When time has come you hear a mellow chime
    The worlds will fall with light and soon will wilt

    Basketball is a sport that I can play.
    Basketball motivates me to work hard.
    I never leave the courts I always stay.
    I will be the very best like a star.

    I’m sad to move to New York this summer
    I’m really going to miss all of you
    Leaving you will be a total bummer
    When school ends, we will leave off with adieu

    Journies live within these lovely stories
    Adventures happen in every sentence
    They speak of Kings, monstrous beasts, plus faries
    I wish that this continues to commence.

    Writer's block is very unfortunate
    I'm writing four lines with nothing to say.
    Honestly it must have to do with fate
    I don't know what to do, it's clear as day.
