Atlantis by Diana Dominguez
Atlantis, a lost city
A city that has never been found
Was the city pretty?
Were there strange sounds?
Atlantis, a city that was great
That was sank under water
Leaving a myth waiting for a date
To be later discover
Is the myth true?
Or just a tale told?
Are scientist screw?
But today, the myth is in hold.

Broken Pedals by Landon Wolfe
Thinking you are the one I’m going up out of my head At first it was a little fun Then now all I feel is dead You’re just a little flower But I’m all grown up with hate I want you for the hour But my mind says it’s too late They look at you and see a little girl But then I see you and you are my whole world I know they want to hold you back But you don’t care because you always feel attacked You’ve felt everything from love to pain But all I want is for you to feel the same I made mistakes but you came back in the end Then I made the worst mistake and now were not even friends I know I have lost everything because you’re the only thing I ever had But now we have to forget because all the pain just makes each other mad. Clowns by Jon J
Something odd and unusual Clowns are odd They make us laugh They make us scared They ride tiny cars Clowns wear big shoes Have creepy face pain And fluffy colored hair Make cool stuff out of balloons Clowns have red round noses They act nice and funny Are great with kids It depends on what kind of clown Killer clowns are horrifying They are not great with kids And they are Very, Very Scary |

Confusion by Cesar
Why is mom crying?
What is wrong with everybody?
Is there any party
Almost everyone is dressing in black,
And what about me, nobody told me anything about it
Why is the old lady praying?
Is this a party or a mass?
Im confused now
Wait, why is there a coffin, who’s in there?
Wait is that me? Now I understand this.

Deep Woods by Gio
Deep woods
Overseeing the mass river
Trout leaping and kicking out of the water
The sun slowly burns out over the horizon
Not a sound just the river crashing against the rocks
The wind in your hair and the birds too high to hear
Watching the river go by and the campfire dying out
And the only words you can say is “Bring me that horizon”

Dreams by Gio
Everyone is born with a thousand dreams,
But when doors shut,
When people leave,
When the lights turn off,
You will realize it is just you,
Dreams are not for the dull,
Not for the familiar faces,
Not for the worn out places
I was born with a thousand dreams,
But I am down to one.
Everyone is born with a thousand dreams,
But when doors shut,
When people leave,

I was born with a thousand dreams,
But I am down to one.
Freedom by Tiger Koesters
Sirens blaring in the night
‘For a crime has been committed once more.
No one knows how it was done
But the freedom of citizens have been lost
The government denies doing wrong.
Yet evidence says otherwise
And lady liberty drops her torch just once
To point an accusing finger at them.
The founding fathers shake their head in disappointment
For their country is losing its meaning
For what is a country of freedom?
If freedom itself is gone?

Friends by Jon J
Friends bring joy,
They make you laugh
We sing together, hang out
We have each other’s backs
When times are rough,
We are there to comfort
Each other. I do it
Because I know
They would do the
Same for me.

Girl and the World by Yesenia Limon
I met this girl, she thought about the world
Going through a lot and her mama left her.
She told me, I ain’t got nothing left here
I got no choice but leaving this sad world
Her man don’t love her, pops was never there.
Used her whole life, no one to wipe her tears.
No guardian angel, washed her pain away
Hoping that she doesn’t make it tomorrow
Had an abortion scared rest of her life
But at the same time she felt it was right
Can’t provide for a kid, she just some girl
Don’t wanna bring a child into this sad world
You don’t feel my pain so how could you know?

Home Bound by Lisa Ong
To me
Under this sapphire sky
You are the only one in my eyes
So caring and warm
You guide me through my every storm
Day by day
I fear the coming May
When we can’t see each other
I still know there’s no another
Night by night
You are my shining light
Safe with you
I’m stuck like glue
Five years and counting
Know there’s no doubting
Kindness, courage
Faith and trust
My memories stay with you
No one else beyond compare
No one else I’d rather be with no one else can take away
Something that won’t ever fade
People say love fades
Nothing lasts forever
Love, they say, can always die
But with you, I know that’s a lie
With you I know
There are no absolute lows
Smile all around
With you, I’m home bound
To me
Under this sapphire sky
You are the only one in my eyes
So caring and warm
You guide me through my every storm
Day by day
I fear the coming May

If I Build a Castle. . . By Johana Cedillo
If I build a castle
There would be soldiers armed
People wearing formal clothing
Upon the people govern
The walls would have ancient decorations,
Framed with the royal kings,
Long curtains on the spotless
Shiny radiant windows

Me by Viridiana
Me, myself and I not anyone else
It isn’t easy but we still go on
Some with good and some with bad
Some with a lot and some with none
No matter with what still goes on
Don’t stop just because you don’t have any
It all gets better maybe not now
Maybe nor later but
Sonner or later it will just keep going
Me, myself and I not anyone else
It isn’t easy but we still go on

It all gets better maybe not now
Maybe nor later but
Sonner or later it will just keep going
Monster- Anthony Guerrero
If I made a monster
The world wouldn’t stand.
He would be silent
Stalking
Hearing his name
Would cause one to cringe
He would lurk
In the forest
Unaffected by society
Never caught on tape.
Hide in plain site
Never look outside
Your home isn’t safe
Don’t listen to the voices
Stay away from shadows
Don’t look at his face

Our Pick by Nayelli
She counts her flaws, like she counts the stars
She compares herself from other girls
Why cant she just be happy with herself?
She is afraid to be happy
Because it seems to be always taken away from her
But she grips on to it.
And she tries everything she can
For it to stay
She counts her flaws, like she counts the stars
She compares herself from other girls
Why cant she just be happy with herself?
She is afraid to be happy
Because it seems to be always taken away from her
But she grips on to it.
And she tries everything she can
For it to stay
Suit and Tie by Anthony Guerrero
At the forest he stood
Tall and skinny was he
Wore a black suit
Blood red his tie
He never spoke a word
His face expressionless
Sickly pale was his skin
Shadow distorted
Disturbing to my eyes
He never made a sound
As quiet as could be
Mesmerized I fallowed
Not knowing where I was
It was getting dark
The time I did not know
I didn’t ask for this
I just want to be alone
At the forest he stood
Tall and skinny was he
Wore a black suit
Blood red his tie
He never spoke a word
His face expressionless
Sickly pale was his skin
Shadow distorted
Disturbing to my eyes
He never made a sound
As quiet as could be
Mesmerized I fallowed
Not knowing where I was
It was getting dark
The time I did not know
I didn’t ask for this
I just want to be alone
What Am I?
By Landon Noteboom-I’m not man nor creature but both
-I tend to slither my way into trouble
-Try not to think to hard you might lose your head and trust me I know what that feels like
-They say my eyes give a stone cold look
-Once I used to be beautiful but jealousy was used on me
I am Medusa ?
Averi LaPointe-I am very easy to look at but catching me could be a challenge
-I am out during the day when its warm
-My head has sticks coming out of them but other people have another name for them
-I have a great power of transportation
-Flowers and Plants are my favorite things in the world
-My babies could be fun to play with if you are not scared of them
Once in my life I meditate for some weeks
When I am done meditating I am a whole new thing
My arm s are quite beautiful and can be my identifier
The first part of my name is a dairy product
What am I?
Butterfly
Dana Fisher
I’m known for being creepy
My voice is really gloomy
I’m a symbol for death
I sat on pallas
I’m not good company
What Am I?
Raven
Sergio Cedillo
I like to eat leaves
I transform
I can be found outside/or inside
My body is delicate
People who preserve me is a lepidopterist
My collector preserves me in a displace box
What Am I?
Caterpillar/ Butterfly
Brian Fiedler
Just cause you’re rad doesn’t mean you’re bad.
If you have an attitude try not to be rude
The world is cruel so don’t try to rile it.
They don’t give you you’re haircut because you’re too dangerous.
Jaw might be strong but I like it raw
I am the king so don’t try to put a ring on it.

Who Made this Normal? By Diego Cancino
How is this normal?
I’m seeing ghost and zombies
Who had this idea?
Of trick-or-treating.
Why do we go to stranger’s house?
Why do we dress up like creatures of death?
All we do is ask for candy.
No need for costumes and distress
Who made this normal?
I don’t know
All I know is that This definitely isn’t normal.

Wood Splinters, Metal will rust By Marcos Alverez
The feelings that time is moving too fast.
Feeling that time is not moving at al
Feel hopeless, feel lost, feel that I won’t last
Feeling that at any time I may fall
Wood turns to splinters, and metal will rust
We’re all walking to our slow demise
Leaves will fall and souls turn to dust
When my time is up, I won’t be surprised
Fear not death, your hour has yet been set.
Beware of time, for it has no mercy
Your life is like a slow burning cigarette
Life will be a treacherous journey
We are like roses, we blossom then die
And six feet under in a coffin we die
The feelings that time is moving too fast.
Feeling that time is not moving at al
Feel hopeless, feel lost, feel that I won’t last
Feeling that at any time I may fall
Wood turns to splinters, and metal will rust
We’re all walking to our slow demise
Leaves will fall and souls turn to dust
When my time is up, I won’t be surprised
Fear not death, your hour has yet been set.
Beware of time, for it has no mercy
Your life is like a slow burning cigarette
Life will be a treacherous journey
We are like roses, we blossom then die
And six feet under in a coffin we die

Apollo by Melissa Venegas
Apollo, the sun shines because of you
And because of you we have light.
Your daily tasks is to harness our four-horse chariot
In order to move the sun across the sky
The music we hear is made from you.
You are the only god with the same Greek and roman name.
That makes you unique from all the others.
You see, like a strong god because
The bow and arrow symbolize you
And you could bring disease and plague with your arrows.
You are the one who cures others around you and us
The medicine you brought to this world is a need for us.
Your well known for the twin sister you have, Artemis.
You are the gold of music an
The lyre is well played by you
You were the prophetic deity at the oracles of Delphi

She doesn’t have the chance.

She is killed
Are you going to yell?

Being Human by Marcos Alvarez
Being caught in a cycle
The constant loop of our daily routines
We were born to die
And we work for the generation ahead
We work for the generation who will die
But we are the generation of those from the past
They worked for us
And now we work for them
Why?
Why have we been put on this place?
To walk in a strength line?
From point a to point b
Collecting memory
And tackling obstacles
And those who are defective by these obstacles did them fail the game or was that simply…

I think they are cute
I don’t give a hoot
Perhaps will just start chasing.

Call to Action
By Brenda Nguyen
I wake up and everything is the same
It all appears to be lame
But today is a different day
For I have something to say
Everyone is so excluded
In the world we aren’t included
There are people on the streets
Wishing they could have a treat
If we do nothing to improve
God will disapprove we need to look around us
Everyone is always in such a rush
We need to stop believe that everything is fine
What? Do you need a sign?
Don’t be afraid
The Problem is we are the only aid
We could begin to help yet some just want to run away and yelp
Well the world’s fate depends on you
So, what do we do?

Cancer Sign by Myra Aguilar
I am cancer
That is my sign
And like it says I am divine
Oh but don’t let it food you
For I can lose my cool too
It also says my other sign is the moon
Like it at right time I can shine
And when you look for advice that is my department for I am bright
Romance is a big part of my life
But don’t let my smile and my sweetness take over my dark side
I can give hugs and kisses. X’s and O’s
That’s why when it comes down to I am more of a friend than a foe
I am caring and generous
And at times funny and hilarious
Like everyone else I can force a smile
Yet deep down inside I am more miserable then a squished file
I tend to absorb people’s emotions
So if you’re frustrated, angry, of ferocious
Just stay away it’s for the best
After all I can be a mess

The Car
By Manuel Martinez
There is a car that can drive.
It drives all over the place
The car doesn’t have any friends
All the other cars laugh at it
The car cries by himself
Then one of the other cars ask him
“Would you like to be friends?”
The car was really excited
The cars later became good friends
All the other cars left him alone.

Day Turned Down by Shondeen Long
As the day turns down,
Night blankets the sky
Darkness holds the shadows
Beyond the street lights
Beneath the earths grass
Wakens the earths warmth
Rejuvenating death into life
Clouds roll in
And clothe the moon and stars
Sleep soundly before the thunder chains ur sheep
Before its known… you may not sleep
Wake open those butterflies to thank the creator
Beseech the quiet and beacebil morning will preach.
As the days comes everything will get louder.
Nobody will see the sadness and sorrow that comes at night.
Before you know you’ve lost all light.

Deer by Lewis Munhofen
Deer
Whitetail deer
Runs through the forest
Trotting away from the vicious predators
Quick and silent throughout the trees and bushes
Leaving footprints.

Depression by Sarah Mcfee
Depression and Sadness,
Get me out of the dark
Bring me to the light
Everything is well, for now,
It could happen again
Are we safe?
We can’t just run and hide from it;
It’s around every corner;
It makes us weak,
It could harm us.
It breaks the heart of your loved ones;
It makes us cry and some survive;
We pray to god for mercy,
We fight and fight until we have no fight left;
It almost took someone I really loved.

Emotions by Alex Castillo
A utopia cannot be formed because of this reason
We all feel these things throughout the season
It’s what made many commit treason
Let me put things into a different perspective
You sometimes might feel a bit defective
It’s why you might be attached or connected
None of these things would be possible without emotions
So someday you might just want to go with the motions
Someday you might just want to create an explosion
Cause of depression you might want to take a whole bottle of iburprophen
Or when you might feel really motivated get a promotion
All I know is that because of emotions we are unique
Emotions are the reason why someone else will make you feel complete
Now let me repeat if you are not in peace
Take a deep breath and all of the stress you shall release
You might think you are ordinary
You might feel quite scary or even hairy
Through the years we seem to balance things out like ying and yang
And what goes around comes around like a boomerang.
A utopia cannot be formed because of this reason
We all feel these things throughout the season
It’s what made many commit treason
Let me put things into a different perspective
You sometimes might feel a bit defective
It’s why you might be attached or connected
None of these things would be possible without emotions
So someday you might just want to go with the motions
Someday you might just want to create an explosion
Cause of depression you might want to take a whole bottle of iburprophen
Or when you might feel really motivated get a promotion
All I know is that because of emotions we are unique
Emotions are the reason why someone else will make you feel complete
Now let me repeat if you are not in peace
Take a deep breath and all of the stress you shall release
You might think you are ordinary
You might feel quite scary or even hairy
Through the years we seem to balance things out like ying and yang
And what goes around comes around like a boomerang.
Evil Consuming Me Within
By Hana Lindsay
My arms dripping with blood from my wrist.
Head held down so the horror can’t be seen.
All around, fire pit with every inch of coal to keep it burning.
Screaming for help and no one hears a word come out.
Someone hear me!
Although the words that are trying to be spoken,
They’re shot by a pistol with no chance of survival.
It is hopeless to try to break free. .
I know that I will never be saved.
I close my eyes
The light appears so bright
Glistening white and gold surround me
An angel appears right before my eyes
“Follow me my child, and you will find your way,”
Laughter fills the air, “I cannot be saved”,
Once more, nightmare is reality.
Angels’ troops keep smashing the walls,
Trying to save me from the evil within.
Walls keep on building and rebuilding when they are sliced in half.
There is no use trying to fight.
My Eyes are open once again to the cave beneath the earth.
Trying to save myself,
The Overlord circles the point of my imprisonment.
“You are no match for me my child”
“We have you under our control”
Chains begin to be rattled;
I try to force myself out.
Tugging and pulling, trying to save myself
The Shackles keep cutting deeper and deeper within me
With every chance I take trying to break free.
Wrist covered deep red,
Feet and ankles burning
(Stomp, Stomp, Stomp, Stomp)
Having to follow the average troll in the world,
Caged up like a vicious animal
Palms and calves covered in blood
Forcing myself to set myself free
The longer I fight...
The weaker and weaker I get
Just set me free!
My hopes are now all gone, I’m under their control
Every ounce of my soul and personality is removed with a syringe
Eyes shut once more to end the pain.
I’m tired of facing the horror alone.
Wicked Witches, Nasty Trolls, and even the Dark Overload
Defeat the soldier who’s just trying to get through life.
All I want is to be accepted,
All I wanted is to be loved
All I wanted . . . is to be.
Normal.
Eyes shut once more
Given my last chance, I give up.
Clear, cold, wet tears fall from my eye lids.
Let this all go away.
Gold and White blinds my eyes
“Take my hand, I will help you through this hard time”
Pride is held too high,
I do not want the help,
My last ounces of pride will be diminished if I ask for help.
I Force my weakened hand upon her palm
Last of my strength is all gone.
Smile of gold is upon her face.
“Everything will be alright”
Two troops allied together
Slashing at the walls
Breaking every crevice and crack.
Slish Slash Slish Slash.
Wall by wall are coming down.
Walls are being broken down
My pride begins to come back
Strength begins to be revived
And my soul and personality flowed back into my body
I am becoming me once again.
Underworld grabbed me, gripping my skin
I force my arm away, forcing my freedom to stay.
“I will not be who you want me to be
Not be what you forced me to be
I will be me,
Your words will no longer phase me
I will no longer be the victim of your abuse”.
The Wicked Witches, Nasty Trolls, and Dark overloard
Diminished before my eyes.
The sun began to shine.
Soul, began to melt.
I am Me.
I am Me, Once Again!
I am a strong, independent, stubborn, smart, and a fearless warrior.
I never let anyone stand in my way,
But, sometimes, the strongest of warriors can’t defeat evil by themselves.
Sometimes, you need help to even defeat the evils within yourself.
I may be stubborn, and hold my pride higher than my head,
But, I would have never defeated the evil that was consuming me, alone.
That Angel opened up my eyes to see the light.
Sometimes, everyone needs help,
Even the strongest among us all.
The light blinded me, reviving my soul
Bringing my personality, beliefs, achievements, and motivation back into life
“Be yourself, and that’s all that you need to be.
Care about the people who love you and love the people who care about you”
And that’s who I will be till the end of eternity.

Fallout by Marco Lomeli-Perez
As I walk through,
These wretches wastes.
Searching for happiness,
Searching like the rest.
I search in buildings,
I search in towns.
Looking all around,
But complete happiness cannot be found.
I keep in trying, I feel as If I keep on dying.
But in the end of the day,
I go home and pray.
That soon, one day.
I will find said happiness.
But as I lay, I look around and I realize
That homes where true happiness lies.
As I was searching around.
I was too blind to see that where I spend my nights.
Is where true happiness will always be found.
Finally, now I can rest.
Knowing that true happiness will always be around.

Fireflies by Jared Kamrath
Blackness
The essence of strife
Brightness
The spirit of life
Your inner demons
Are killing you slowly
While your will to live
Is dwindling and lowly
The things that you think
Are wrong and you know that
But your hated and scared
And we know because you show that
You need to hang on
You should prove them wrong
You should live in the light
But you’re in the dark so stay strong
I guess what im trying to say
Some may say its “gay”
Is never let someone ruin your day
When youre lost in the darkness
Search for the light
When your life full of hardship search with all of your might
The hates in the past
So look for the fireflies
Look for them fast
Look for the lightning bug
Search low and high
Search through the dark
Before all of them die.

Blooming, growing always fun
Flowers live, die and brighten.

Friday Night Field by Spencer Leiting
As I walk on the field,
Band playing happily
Crowd cheering in excitement
Smell of concessions in the air
The intensity building
As we walk onto the field
Chanting our battle cry
Seeing the shining lights
There’s no better feeling
We run out on the field
Encouraging each other
The crowd chants our name
We breakout 1, 2, 3, Cardinals
It’s the best feeling when your under the lights
On a Friday night

Geometry by Madilyn Ankrum
Point-slop before slope-intercept.
X’s and y’s are in fact secret hidden numbers.
That you are supposed to find
In a treasure box
When in fact it is on a piece of processed tree
Or plastic that hums artificially
M is slope
And two negatives equals a positive
As two wrongs makes a right
The two angles that look the same aren’t
Unless the tow lines that contains the angles
Aare parallel
Y minus y over x minus x is slope
And slope equals m, y minus y and m times
(Parentheses) x minus x
And that is point slope formula which is one of two or more equations
FOR A LINE.
HOW?!
How, AM I Suppose to remember that?
When you taught it
In five minute?!

Never lets us sleep
Jumps over the fence
Always scaring little kids
It has fleas
It’s not trained
Barks all night
Chases people

Grandpa by Lily Escalante
Remembering the times I had spent with you
Coming home to your big smile
And your own arms
Sitting down watching the people walk by
And reminiscing the times of my childhood
Listening to your stories of you teen years
Enjoying every moment we spent
Knowing that we wouldn’t have this time together later in time
Pondering of my future, not being able to see you
And sharing funny jokes and so many memories
And now, I find myself sitting alone…
Contemplating when I had you in my presence
Being in peace now that you’re in peace
Appreciating all the time I had with you
And knowing that, one day, we will be together again
Remembering the times I had spent with you
Coming home to your big smile

Hades Ode by Ricardo Chavez
Hades
Pitch-Black Hades
Great old Hades who lives in the underworld
With his wife Persephone
Who loves him to death
Poor old Hades
His brothers do not like him
For he is to mysterious
Many people fear him
For he is to mysterious
Many people fear him
For he represents death
With furies and fates
He keeps thing in check
He may represent death
But the real god of death is Thanatos
Hades keeps the death in check
So he keeps our world in check.

Home by Ninfa Rojas
In South Sioux City there is a 21st street
On 21st street there is a white house
In that white house there is a family
Within that family there is my sister
In my sister there is a child
In that child there is precious life
In that life, family was brought together
For that family the news had spread
In that news it left that white house
Which was on 21st street in South Sioux City

Life by Bryan Sanchez
Life whether you want it to or not
It will drag you down to rot
Only if you let consume you without a fight
Then life won’t bother to try to put you in a tomb
The struggles that life puts in front of you
Are to test your character not to punish you
If you are determined or dedicated person
Or even if you are weak or don’t care
Life just wants to find who is mentally strong
To survive its journey on earth
Some struggles might involve from solving a math problem to opening a box
Others might involve running to pushups
Life might push a “weak” mind a bit more
But that doesn’t mean that us stronger minded people can’t take a break
No it means that we have to push harder to become better than our past selves
We don’t just want success we want to earn it and believe that we are the best
Life wants to see us succeed in our lives
It wants us to be happy with what we accomplished
Whether it is beating a high score or just your driver’s test
Be happy with your life, change those negatives into positives.

Life’s Great by Adrian
Education is free until 12th grade.
Then were off to the fade
Keeping working hard, when it’s hot don’t look for shade.
Life will be fear. . . Just have faith
And I guarantee you will make it to the heaven gate.
Families all you got on your back… dedication and goals will put you back on track
I think it’s time to put down the phone
If you feel like giving up you’re not alone
Don’t think about giving any excuse’s when it comes to conquer
A degree will get you further
Life’s a risk but don’t give up even when you hit a tisk
Surround yourself with positives energy
Who knows? You might find chemistry
Organized yourself for tuition
If not, living will be a mission
Don’t put anything into jeopardy
Chance are it will be a bad memory
The key to success is loving yourself
If spouse is found be yourself
Celebrate success right
Make life hot even at zero degrees fahrenheit

Love for Tennis by Mychl Brown
You can hit the ball here,
You hit the ball there,
You can hit the ball fast
Through the air.
You purposely run towards the ball.
You accidently run into a wall.
But when it comes to playing
You’re the greatest of them all.
You feel refreshed when you play
It’s the highlight of your day
You will never, ever, ever, ever
Want to run away.
You feel the heat from the sun
But the game has just begun.
And even though you’re hot.
You won’t want to be done.
You hear your fans in the crowd.
They’re cheering really loud.
You feel so accomplished
Because you made your parents proud.

Making the Differences by Luara Munzo
Life is long
But we live it short.
I’ll let you know
Me myself and I can become one traveler
And travel both roads
I can make it possible!
Frost apologized for not being able to do so.
Why sorry to us?
He wished it himself, to travel both
He let himself down
Life is long
But we live it short.
Ill cry through the first road
And stumble through the second!
I shall never end with failure.
Life is long
But we live it short
I will not hesitate in exploring the second one
The more I will know
And that will make all the difference

But we live it short.

Mothers love by Gonzalo
How far does our mother’s love go?
Maybe even further than we know.
She’s been there since the very start.
We don’t know anybody with a bigger heart.
Mom has always been there to lend a hand.
And in sports was always my #1 fan.
She was always there to teach us valuable lessons.
And making a better person was always her obsession.
When we were sick the only person that we wanted was mom.
She was the only one that could keep us calm.
We would not be the same person without our mother’s love
And for that I thank the heavens from above.

My Brother by Eliseo Martinez
I have a brother named Michael
He is very different from any other
He is tall, clear skin, and thin as the sun.
But he doesn’t seem to care
Using any occupied space.
He is always eating snacks
He is always playing games
He is always in his room,
And he thinks that I am lame.
Sometimes we go on family trips
He is the last to come out,
But the first one to complain.
My cousin Chris helps me out
Whenever Michael does not shut up
Chris says that Michael is adopted,
Sometimes I wonder the same.
Even though my brother is lazy
I want him to continue riding,
And even though my brother is crazy
I’ll help him to be amazing

New Car BY Gustavo Jimenez
There is a nice new car
In the car are nice new seats
In the nice new car was a nice new motor
With some nice new oil
In the trunk was the nice new spare tire
Inside the car was the nice owner
The nice new car was just purchased
The nice new car drove away
On the nice new road
On the nice new street
There is a nice new car
In the car are nice new seats
In the nice new car was a nice new motor

The nice new car drove away

You were a rich kid, from the nice side of town.
I was a poor girl, embarrassed I looked down.
You didn’t let that come between us, you came to sit right by me, on the bus!
All the girls wanted you… right by their side, but you were with me, which made my insecurities die.
I knew my sister was listening closely, but I didn’t notice I was talking to nick mostly
You were so smart and loved the Lord! I admired that because you were so bold
I felt so special when you sat with me on the bus.
When I’d get home, I could only think of us!
I’d be excited to see you the next day.
And I knew, just knew you felt the same way.
We could laugh and joke and have a great time!
I felt I’d be yours and you would be mine!
And then…. The worst news comes my way….. I found out that I’d be moving! The very next day!
You told me “No please don’t go!” You wanted me to stay.
My heart was crushed id be so far away.
I never held your hand, I didn’t even get to say you were my man.
But the fondness memories were created in those times. And that’s why I’m able to split this rhymes.
I had hoped that wed keep in touch. When I left I missed you so much.
Now it’s been a couple years,
We’ve never talked… and that was one of my fears.
I hope someday we will met again, I’ll remember you always ….. Until then.

Old School by Zahra Hirey
Grand
In a grand old school
There is a grand old playground
In the grand old building
Stood a grand old theater
Was a grand old guitar
On the grand old guitar
Plays grand old man
In the grand old school
In this grand old playground.

Paths by Diana Munoz
Do what you do
Say what you say
Dream what you dream
When you decide you will achieve
When you achieve you might just succeed
What you decide to do now might not be what it seems
You pick up a ball and pick up a pen you pick up a computer you pick up your goal
There are many paths to take
Its just up to your faith
You might get knocked down
But when you do youll rise once again
Youll keep on taking that path
Till you find what you need
Intil the very end.
But one thing that you should know
No matter what the battles no matter what the people say
You can do what you do
Say what you say
Dream what you dream
Cause you might just succeed
Do what you do
Say what you say
Dream what you dream
When you decide you will achieve
When you achieve you might just succeed
What you decide to do now might not be what it seems
You pick up a ball and pick up a pen you pick up a computer you pick up your goal
There are many paths to take
Its just up to your faith
You might get knocked down
But when you do youll rise once again
Youll keep on taking that path
Till you find what you need
Intil the very end.
But one thing that you should know
No matter what the battles no matter what the people say
You can do what you do
Say what you say
Dream what you dream
Cause you might just succeed
People by Emma Rasmussen
Why are people so rude these days?
They have no values.
Why don’t people have values in life?
They were never taught how to cherish things.
Why they were never taught?
Parents are lazy to teach them.
Why are parents lazy?
Some parents just don’t care.

Pressure by Elvis Angel
Constant pressure
To succeed and prosper
I have met with many hardships
My back against a way
Yet somehow I manage to fight back
This darkness also looming
Covering any trace of light
Yet deep inside
Surrounded by darkness
Light always finds a way
Life is filled of hardships
The way we deal with them
Forces us into a different person
We were given the will
To succeed or fail
No matter the cut come
The future is still not yet written
We choose what we make out of our future
It is not predetermined in stone
Hardships make us stronger.

Raul By Manuel Martinez
Why do you run away, Raul?
The cops are coming.

They are looking for me.

I stole a phone.

Red by Alicia Schram
Her love is red
Like a delicate rose,
Waiting for someone to come pick.
Her love is like a butterfly,
Beautiful but hard to catch.
You see love is a beautiful thing
But it’s not always easy to portray.
You see red,
Her love is red
Like a delicate rose,
Waiting for someone to come pick.

Rich by Alex Monk
I love being rich
I’m rich in the most wonderful thing of all.
The thing that will let me see each fall.
The thing I speak of is the most important.
The thing I hope will never get shortened.
The one thing that will let me see exotic places.
The one that will let me see all the beautiful faces.
This is the thing that I hold most dear.
This is the thing that makes everything clear.
The one that will give me a long happy life.
The one that I hope the same for my wife.
The one that doesn’t let me buy everything new.
The one that will keep me strong if I get the flu.
The thing that will keep my dreams vast.
The one that will make my life last.
However low things may seem.
At least you can still dream.
The thing I speak of is called health.
This is the thing that has the largest wealth.
This is the best way to be rich.

Search by Nimo Jama
It’s all in facts she said
It’s all in the books he said
They fallow each other like sheep
Without questioning
The blind leading the blind
It was only 310 years ago
That we disproves our egocentrism
The world didn’t revolve around us
We were only a speck in this infite universe.
So what stops us from searching?
What are we afraid of?
Do we fear change?
Do we fear the idea that we are alone?
Or that we aren’t
Without searching, we follow
Without questioning, we follow
The shepherd was wolf in disguise and the sheep gets slaughtered in the end
It’s all in facts she said

The Sharkfly by Maria Garcia
This is sharkfly.
It lives in seas, swamps, streets, and sandwiches
A sharkfly eats streets, snakes, snails, and stars
It like sitting, smiling, scaring, and screaming
It steals and smile using snakes
One day while I was at a beach, a shark fly,
Smiled and stole my socks.

Shazam by Shirley Rodriguez
This is a sharkepeak
IT lives in the Sea, Sahara desert, sky and swamps
A sharkepeak eats sand, sausages, snickers, and s’mores
It like smelling, standing, smiling, slacking
It sings, spits tire, spins, and swings
One day a sharkepeak hit me in the head
And became my enemy

Snow
by Ninfa Rojas
Falling to the ground
Watch as it drifts down softly
It flakes a cold white
But warms our hearts at the sight
Winter has come back again.

Soccer

Why are you outside?
I am playing a sport.
What sport are you playing?
I am playing soccer
Why are you playing soccer?
Because I was bored.
Why were you bored?
Because there was nothing to do.

Soccer Player

A soccer player
Must be good at running fast
And has to have skill
In order to score a goal
And win for the team.

Sprite by Gustavo Jimenez
There once was a young man named sprite
Turns out that Sprite was never right.
Lied about robbing.
Never thought stopping
He did it all in just one night.

Summer! By Gustavo Jimenez
Summer is almost near
We have to go through spring first though
I hate the winter
Cars getting stuck
Too cold to go anywhere
Meanwhile in summer a variety of choices open up
You can play outside
Go swimming or play your favorite sport
You can also drive with the windows down
To catch some nice fresh air.

The Bloomed Flower by Sam Virgen
I was once nothing but a helpless soul
I saw my life as meaningless and dull
Never saw how valuable it was
Until I was so close to giving up
It was time for me to get back up
A flower takes time to bloom
Some days are very gloom
The light wont shine
And I begin to become blind
It’s hard to grow without light
But I never gave up . . .
It was worth a fight
Rainy days aren’t so delightful
Sometimes I get more frightful
The sun comes back
I began to grow
I didn’t feel so low
I’m a beautiful flower
A flower taller than the Eiffel tower
My soul is no longer helpless
My soul does not stress
I love myself
I love who I’ve become
Hour by hour
My life, a bloomed flower.
I was once nothing but a helpless soul
I saw my life as meaningless and dull
Never saw how valuable it was
Until I was so close to giving up
It was time for me to get back up
A flower takes time to bloom
Some days are very gloom
The light wont shine
And I begin to become blind
It’s hard to grow without light
But I never gave up . . .

Hour by hour

The Numbin by Marcos Alverez
The only thing constant in life is change
And change can bring pain
And when pain becomes constant
You numb and numb until you can’t feel
Numb
Now you are a hallow shell without pain
But also without joy
Without ambition
Without thought
Numb.
You thought it would be better this way
But now you’re lost
You don’t know if you want to stay in the hole
It’s comfortable
But it’s empty
Numb
And when you do feel its overwhelming
You cry from joy
You rage from anger
You sob from sadness
But it’s rare
Because you’re numb
Numb
Numb
Numb
You are alone in the crowd
You talk but don’t communicate
You help others make memories but you forget
8 hours shifts go by in seconds.
You’ve completely lost free will
You do but don’t act
You sleep but don’t rest
You eat but you are never satisfied
Numb.
You’re a walking corpse numb to the world
Numb.
Numb.
Numb.

The World By Kimberly Hernandez
I wish not for this sadness.
Why stay blue, your highness?
Because the world has become so cold.
Why do you believe the world is so cold?
None of us realize that we have become careless.
Careless why, your highness?
Well I look around the world has become weak and cold.
I can see that, but why are you saying, your highness?
We have been cold to each other and the aura of peace we’d hope for isn’t there.
What do you mean aura of peace, your highness?
Our children of the future are fighting not playing they’re dying.
Whys re they dying, your highness?
Guns blast at each other and hurtful words anger and bring such sorrow.
Why is there such sorrow and rage in their heart?
Because there is such evil and darkness they let in their heart.
But what’s worse is that were in the heaven we cannot help them.

THEY HAVE SUPPORT? BY GALDINO GUZMAN
What has society come to?
What have we come to?
We don’t know the definitions of simple words.
We have people that want to be president,
That don’t know the definitions of simple words.
And yet, somehow these people have support!
They say that a socialist is still capitalist,
When the abolition of capitalism is literally in the definition of socialism…
These people want to force you to pay other things,
And somehow they have support.
They endorse a system that has never once worked,
And somehow they have support.
They endorse a system that has never once worked,
And somehow they still have support
They believe in punishing success and rewarding failure,
And somehow they still have support.
They ignore the most fundamental principles of economics,
And yet, somehow WE still give them support.
SO, as your fellow American, I humbly ask you

To The Place We Call Home
by Hana Lindsay
I’ve walked all those halls,
Sat in those desks,
Read all those books,
Listened to all those teachers,
And took all those tests.
I’ve stayed up til 2 am
Just to finish mounds of homework
That was laying on my back.
Ive drank a pot of coffee
Trying to keep my eyes wide open
And Ive fallen asleep in class
Ive teared up from the drama
Ive got mad at the rumors.
And I stayed silent when I needed to.
As I have walked those halls for 4 years
Equal to 5,040 hours
Or 18,144,000 seconds just in my high school years.
I’ve been in activities
And ive helped my community.
As it is time to throw the caps in the air.
There is one thing that needs to be said.
As time flies by so fast,
Remember that those memories will last.
Those nights at the river,
Those bus rides home,
Those easy to comprehend lectures,
And those teachers that care too much.
Don’t let your four years pass you by,
Don’t wish it to come so much,
Because they come too fast.
You will miss those seats you sat in
Those lectures that were only less than an hour
Those laughs your shared at the lunch table,
And those people you knew since forever.
As graduation is just around the corner,
These hallways will become sadder,
Those desks a little bearer,
Memories a little quieter,
Voices a little softer,
And our hearts a little touchier.
We look back and remember those times that we were here.
The memories that were shared
And those things that touched our hearts.
We continue to shoot for the stars
As we hold them in our hands.
As my class throws their caps in the air,
We say our good-byes to all the friends we had,
and all those memories we shared.
In those halls that we filled
And our moments that we were there.

Tribute to… By Megan Hanson
Life is something so precious yet taken for granted
Never looked at as an hour glass running out of time.
No one standing up for those who are struggling
Instead they look past it and move on in life.
Not really knowing what the person starts bottling…
Bottling all the feelings and stabbing at them like a knife.
Life people say it’s so easy.
If life is so easy the why do you have hardships?
Why do people cause self-harm? Why do people cry?
Who do parents have to kiss their babies good- bye?
Life you kill troubled people
You cause them pain
Making them travel through life wondering when it ends
Any age any height any size it will never mend.
Broken families and significant others.
Crying over their loved ones.
Life you slowly slip away
Away from his body and off this earth.
We kissed him goodbye and prayed for the rebirth.
In heaven he rest easy now
Because life was too hard and it killed him… but how?
He struggled so hard and lived a short life.
At 19 years old death struck with a knife.
Life you are so unique but so poisonous
No one knows where the end is for us.

Video Games by Maycol Ibarra-Magana
Video Games are games
Video games are often fighting
PlayStation, Xbox, and PC they all say there they’re the best
But do you remember
Theres more not just those
Phone, motion control
They all do the same
They keep you busy
Some people say
They don’t know anything bit
Video games, I play to play
Its fine and I dont care who is the best
A games a game
Whatever other people say
People say life is a game
But its not, you cant do what you do in a game
In a game something bad happens it goes away
But here were not here to play

We Made It by Quana Tony
My mom kept I from all of us
We had no idea what was happening at all
We soon realized we were the only ones left
She got a second job and came and went
We saw her in agony and pain
Something we could never take away
I asked myself when the pain will go away
She put up a front and went on with herself
Telling us everything will be okay someday
Although, we could see the pain hiding within
She became stronger than ever
I told myself we would get our chance
But for now we sit praying for better days
Because god himself knows that patience wins
We soon saw her continuously grin
We knew this was the end of faultiness
It was never our fault to begin with
Now we can move on with our lives
Happy with joy and spirit
But today I stand and tell you my mommy made it
My mom kept I from all of us
We had no idea what was happening at all
We soon realized we were the only ones left
She got a second job and came and went
We saw her in agony and pain
Something we could never take away

To fit in.
Why do you care so much?
To love again.
Why are you so sad?
Because I'm hurt.
Why do you love so much?
To feel again.
Why do you try so much?
To fit in.
Why do you care so much?
To love again.
Why are you so sad?
Because I'm hurt.
Why do you love so much?
To feel again.
Why not Both? By Lisa Ong
To be different is what we long for,
To be common is what we die for,
To be unique and one of a kind,
To be within a crowd of our own,
What do we really want?
To crave attention from those we admire
To regret attentions once they give it to us.
To be seen as nice and sweet,
To be seen as bold and edgy
What do we really want?
To choose to be different
To choose to be ordinary.
To choose attention
To choose oblivion
To choose kindness
To choose assertiveness
Why not both?
To be different is what we long for,
To be common is what we die for,
To be unique and one of a kind,
To be within a crowd of our own,
What do we really want?
To crave attention from those we admire
To regret attentions once they give it to us.
To be seen as nice and sweet,
To be seen as bold and edgy
What do we really want?
To choose to be different
To choose to be ordinary.
To choose attention
To choose oblivion
To choose kindness
To choose assertiveness
Why not both?
XC RACE FEELS
By Aisling Reyes
The gone goes, “Bang!”
Runners are off to the race
You hear the crowd roar
Excitement in their faces
Runners fill the gaps to try to settle in
Always keeping in mind, “I am gonna win!”
One mile down, two more to go
Body aching and burning, from head to toe
You hear your coach yell, “catch up to the girl!”
But you hurt so bad, you just wanna hurl
You follow the white line to know where to go
You want to give up, you want to say no
There is a hill and you look to the top
You think you can’t do it, you just want to stop
Two miles down, just one more left
You’re at the front of the pack, you think you’re the best
A couple of girls start to catch up to you
But you think to yourself, “You know what to do.”
You’re in first place, this is your moment to shine
You sprint to the end, you cross the finish line
You’re filled with joy, you won first place
You feel accomplished, you finished the race

Young Love
By Kimberly Hernandez
This young love
Was a lovely and a wicked man.
This young love was forbidden
Since both were betrothed to others
This love women runs away from her betrothed.
Her true love was waiting under the bridge.
And what they both don’t know it was their end.
The wicked man hugged his lover and whispered sweet nothings
When they both ended their previous lives.
With this young women and young man
With his young love.

90 Days
90 days,
There is only 90 days until I walk across that stage,
90 days before I have achieve my first biggest goal.
90 days before, I graduate.
As I am to be shouting to the skys,
Cheering as every day I look at the calender.
99, 98, 97, 96
But theres a feeling in my stomach,
I quiete don’t understand
95, 94, 93, 92, 91
I know what that feeling is,
Im not always excited for that day to come,
I have knots in my stomach,
I am afraid.
There is more than just walking across the stage.
You’re ending your journey and starting a new one
It feels so unreal.
The feelings in my head just keep on jumping.
its far more than just a diploma in hand.
I would only get my final goodbye,
And who knows if there ever be another hello.
There’s so much I need to learn
There so much I need to finish,
As My body keeps trying to grip my arms.
Stay in the past
But there is far no way I can stay the way In the past
I have to go on and achieve my dreams
Although, it just, came too fast
99, 98, 97, 96, 95
90 days seems so near but yet so far away
90 days my life completely changes,
90 days and I am officially an adult.
There wont no longer be those days I come home in tears
With someone who can tell me ill be alright.
There will no longer be those days that I come home
And everything would be perfect,
No more clean bedroom, laundry done, food on the time, and a warm home.
Its now that I am on my own.
Everything was perfect
Eventhough I didn’t see it then, I see it now.
90 days
To get my act together
90 days to figure out who I am.
90 days to figure out where I want my life to go,
Who I want to become,
Because in 90 days,
There’s no way I can go back
90 days seems so near and I wished it was so far away but it is not.
Its just around the corner
90 days
I can tell you a thousand words
And none of them start with good and end with bye
Its scary to think in 90 days
I will have to face it on my own
To take care of myself
Theres no coming home
To a warm home, and food on the time
Theres no coming home
To Netflix and lights on and running water
Because you have to make that happen
90 days
Its so much different,
It’s the scariest thing you have to know
In 90 days
I have to know my path, my dreams, where im going.
90 days,
There is only 90 days until I walk across that stage,
