Pain by Shane
The air was crisp, cool and bright
Teammates gather and the mood was light
Coach shouts out “Please warm up boys.”
Sprints and stretches and we make some noise
Then it was time for us to practice our game
The black and white ball rolls; I hear my name
I rush towards the ball and ready my kick
But my foot rolls over and pain makes me sick
The back of my leg burns and aches
I cannot walk, my muscles shake
It’s all over just like that
In the ortho office as I sat
A hamstring tear the doctor said
My leg barely moved as heavy as lead
Time would be needed for my leg to heal
Walking on crutches became no big deal
I am stronger now and ready to play
The memory of that pain will always stay
I do believe there is always a reason
But pain put an end to my soccer season
Gas In The Class by Shane
I knew I was in trouble
When I felt my stomach bubble
I raised my hand
And began to stand
The teacher said, “Sit in your chair”
I did not think it would be fair
Once again I made a face
Oh, it would be a disgrace
To the hall I must quickly take
For I have some wind to break
I begged the teacher, “please oh please”
“I really need to cut the cheese”
“Yes”, she said with a little hoot
“You should leave before you toot”
And ran I did with a hallway pass
Because the rule is “NO GAS IN THE CLASS”
I Put My Makeup On by Evelyn
I put MY makeup on
Looking into the reflective glass
I realize I’M gone
Society trying to make US pass
But making US wear a mask
Trying to hide OUR big flaw
But thats an impossible task
And WE start to withdraw
Be YOURSELF THEY say
But not like that
Be that perfect person
Get good grades, follow the rules
OUR pain tries not to worsen
Society looks at US like fools
THEY don’t see WE are unique
And yet in THEIR eyes its not enough
THEY think WE are weak
But really WE are tough
The pain WE feel trying to fit in
Will grow
So
I put MY makeup on
The Ghost by Emma
To haunt is but his purpose now
my mind, in which he stays
a figment -yet a mys’try how
he came to be such way
T'was in coldest winter whichthe man did leave my side
an empty void bereft of life
which nothing would abide
condemned from heav’n -- locked from hellshackled to this earth!
murdered!
yet in afterlife,
was robbed of waited mirth.
in the youngest hours of
the morning he appears.
a bewildered apparition
such sight brings me to tears
though who am I, (a soul so nigh)
to do him any aid
no longer can he love me
for the laws of life forbade.
so thine so helpless!
thou so sad !
I watch by window ,going mad
the pain inside of me it swells
despite the screams
despite the yells
To haunt is but his purpose now
my mind in which he stays
a figment- yet a mys’try how
he came to be such way.
Briar Briar by Emma
Briar, briar, clutched to tower.
To be so bare, so lacking flower
much be such a pain to you
for a hoard of spires you grew.
Such to hurt the ones who pass,
regardless weather wise or crass.
What a sad misshapen growth.
Devoid of perk- devoid of bloath.
Briar how calamitous,
with skeleton like Tantalus,
to roost within the crumbling stone
in which the traveler, tired, postpones.
His ragged garb, by spikes are torn
while slashes on his ankles born.
Searching for a place to settle,
somewhere clear, bereft of nettle.
Briar you’ve imprisoned him
at night by growing with such whim.
Your spines prevent him to evade ,
no sickle shank nor sword, nor spade
could ever triumph such a beast.
The lesions of the man increased.
For many days, he screamed and skreighed.
For one to help, he often prayed.
The weary traveler, in great pain.
and too was driven much insane.
For your vines abolish help
Despite the hermit’s countless yelps.
In cause he took a match to you,
And now a sprout of flames you grew.
Now burn and crumble to the ground,
till nothing's left but ash in mounds.
The mans unneeded suicide,
Shall cause him to abide
With you , eternity he lies.
Pain by Griffin
I creep in at unwanted times
Children cry
men try to hide the feeling,
They try to prevent me from coming
Children are told to be careful be safe
but why
I only stay for the appropriate amount of time
parents say “it will go away”
but I don’t want to
I just want a friend
I’m lonely
no one likes me
they use pills to get rid of me
they say I cause them stress
I’m physical and mental as well as emotional
I’m everywhere at once but still feel alone
I’m hated
I’m disliked
I’m despised
I’m Alone.
Misery by Dan
Who is up there watching me?
Does thou enjoy my misery?
Has my god forsaken me?
Have I gained some hate from thee?
Please tell me to what degree
You feel you need to punish me
I beg of you, I cannot see
Why you must ignore my plea
For I would march from sea to sea
To feel once more embrace from thee
Do I lack some precious key
To loose the lock to ecstasy?
Why do you not answer me?
I understand some things must be
But oh my lord why can't you see
That I deserve serenity
For every night from on my knee
I close my eyes and pray to thee
Is that not what you want from me?
Is love not what you promised me?
If life is naught but misery
Just strike me down and set me free
The air was crisp, cool and bright
Teammates gather and the mood was light
