Summer Poem

The summers of being so young
Age 7, waiting for my father to
Set off the fireworks
Parents always threw the best
4th Of July parties
Family and friends would gather
Waiting for the loud bang of fireworks
Going off in the air
Everyone in Southgate watched from
A distance, after a few years of
These parties the cops stopped
Bothering us about the noise
So peaceful at night to watch
My father put on a good show
These were the absolute best
Years of my life,
So young and innocent.

Life Now

"Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get." Very true saying. You never know who or what is going to come in and out of your life. At this moment frustration is in my life.
Trying to make everyone else around me happy and leaving out my feelings in a situation is very stressful. Some people just can't help that they have a heart to do whatever for their friends and family members.

After Years, Senior Poem

I walk down these hallways,
lockers are still the same disgusting shade of beige
Some of those teachers most hope to never see again
still stand outside their doorway in between class,
I miss seeing those same faces every day,
The ones who you counted on the most
I was ready to leave but a decade later
I come back and realized this school formed
who I became in the future
Don't take a day in high school for granted,
In the end you'll realize how much you miss this
place of no worries.
