Mistakes

“GET OUT!”
screeched my stepdad’s voice.
Thats when I knew
I made a mistake .
Dark eyes,
bad language,
promiscious clothes.
What happened to me?

Those were the thoughts
running through my head.
I was depressed
on the ride down to Massachusetts.

Errrnt!
Errrnt!
Errrnt!
That was when I knew
things have changed.
“Time for school pumpkin,” Moria said.

Threw clothes on,
didn’t care what I looked like anymore.
Got to my new school
I felt uncomfortable.
As if I was a kitten in a room
with a bunch of pitbulls.

These will be my friends?
Not even close!
Rumors started to spread.
“She’s the new emo girl!”
It would’ve made sense
if I cut myself.
All of these things got me thinking.

Maybe I’m the biggest mistake of all!

I Remember Getting my Kitten
One cloudy day
I went to open the door to my house,
and I saw a little kitten
on the chair,
I went to go see it.
when I did,
he fit in the palm of my hand.
I played with him
so much because he was just so cute.
my other cat, Lucy,
did not like that I was playing with him and not with her,
my dog loved to run and play with him.
so my dog ran after him and made him fall over.

ALL ABOUT PIE

I was an actress before
Not for any major motion Picture though
It was for a small movie
by my sister
for a class assignment.

It was called ALL ABOUT PIE.
The main character was Jessie James.
I was her.

Using a plastic cap gun and Pepper for poison,
I killed three people.
Being the boss of my mom,
I kidnapped two girls
twice my size.

I stole a pie with a diamond in it.
My sister caught me.
I was arrested.

My career ended with a BANG.
Except in small rolls with another movie.
A play called Daedelus was my finale.
Nothing compared to my big role
as Jessie James.

Kindergarten

I remember when I was in kindergarten,
where nothing made sense.
You wouldn't know someone,
or know anything about them.
Then 10 seconds later,
you were playing like you were best friends
I remember the worst thing that happened,
was that some kid stole your snack.
You only had to worry about coodies,
and girls didn't obsess about how they looked.
Kindergarten, remember the good times?

Are you proud?

are you proud
of your-self
knowing all the
pain
you have caused

Taken away
when I was only 9
not knowing
what was going on
just knowing
I couldn't call my mother
for a whole 2 months

Living with my aunt
for two years
having supervised visits
was this how
you wanted
my child years to go?
was this how
you wanted to
spend time with me?

I have waisted
too many nights
for you
to get over your-self
and clean up your act
NOW mother its your turn

Its your turn
to feel the pain
wondering where I am
crying your-self
to sleep

I'm DONE

A summer day in Scarborough;
Hot, and sweaty from skating.
I meet up with friends;
I go to the set;
Sweep the rocks from the landing.
I roll up to the set
Pop;
I land and me feet slip while doing so;
I fall;
I get up;
And;
Once again I find myself rolling up to the set;
Once more I pop;
Land and roll away;
I get excited;
Do it again;
Then again;
I go for it once more;
I Land;
SNAP!
I fall;
Get up and check my board
I snapped off the tail;
I laugh...
Turn my board around and do it again

Learning to Ride

I’ve done a lot of stupid,
and fun stuff in my life,
but this one takes the cake.
It was one of the first times I was riding my bike,
going downhill
faster and faster I rode,
Until I was going to fast.
As I pulled over in the grass to brake,
then noticed that there was a ditch,
but it was to late,
Crash,
with one flip,
I lay there for a wile,
then get up laughing,
though,
my friends bike handle was bent.

SLIPPING


I was at my Nina and pupas camp
on Barkers pond.
I was going off their rope swing
when I slipped on the wet wood
and fell.
A stick that was still in the ground
went through my foot.
My pupa had to get a pair of pliers
and cut the stick.
My aunt took me to the doctors where
my dad was waiting.
The doctor wrapped my foot up
and then we were off to the hospital.
My mom was waiting for us.
I was in a lot of pain
and didn’t go into surgery
until about 10:00 p.m.
I had to be put to sleep
so that I wouldn’t feel any pain.
By the time I was out of surgery
it was 11:00 p.m.
I had to spend the night there
and my mom stayed too.
When I got home I sat down
on the couch put my foot up
and watched T.V.

I lie in bed al night and pray that you will think of me
I cry until my eyeslids close
and dream eternity

I wake to sunlight on my face for i moment I forget
then a cloud passes by and I realize this is it

I carry on throughout the day
feigning joy, and feeling pain
I long to gaze upon your face
and share a smile an embrace

The day is drawing to an end
and still I think of you
I try to relax yet in my mind
I wonder what to do

So now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul will keep
And should you chance to think of me
Know that I love you-eternally
