Annoying, Loud, and Lame
My brothers make go insane
Running from here to there
They run around everywhere
I hear my brothers yell and fight
My brothers make me want to scream
Almost every night
When I’m sleeping
I wake up to the sound of crying and yelling
My brothers annoy me day to night
Even in my dreams I’m annoyed
When my brothers break a plate or a cup
It sounds like thunder
BOOM!
My brothers always fight
For toys, but especially toy cars
Also for my parents attention
Pathetic
My brothers make me want to yell at the top of my lungs
And make me want to pull my hair out
But,
Even though my brothers make me go crazy
I still love them
Just the way they are.

I’m done. I Quit.
I had my fun.
It’s over finally over.
The pain.
I’m the only one to blame.
Now when they look at me I feel no shame.
Now that it’s over.
No more being part of those crazy things.
The fighting.
The Stealing.
Is over.
Glad that I stopped before I did that shooting.
But all the things I’ve done.
All the recruiting.
The stealing, the dealing, a hustler I was.
No more hustling, no more gangbanging.
The whole gang thing was a stupid thing.
I was a waste.
As a gangbanger I was an empty body, no brain, I was tied with a chain.
To do all those things I had no coaches to tell me the right from the wrong.
Now it’s done.
I’m done with that.
I’m starting over.

By Imran

I was lying in bed
When a spider crawled onto my head.
I smacked a pillow into my face,
I missed- my heart began to race.

It raced across the floor,
Headed for the door.
I chased it into the living room
And grabbed our old broom.

I whacked it into the yard;
Man, I hit it hard.

It was dead;
Limbs still as a hunk of lead.

Next time, I won’t be a spider-hater;
I’ll just pick it up with a sheet of paper.
After all, It’s as scared of me
As I am of it.

Right?

Losing my loved one breaks my heart,
It feels as though I’ve just been stabbed with a dart!
I would do anything to have you back,
After all, you were my love, my precious gem!

Sometimes my heart falls for someone I know
I can’t have, or someone that I know doesn’t love me back.
But I didn’t think you were that someone.

When we were together you were happy,
But in the end, you broke my heart.
Sometimes I wonder why I loved you.
Maybe you didn’t know how much you hurt me.

I keep asking myself these questionsn like
Did you really love me?
Why did you do this to me?
What happened between us, is it something I did, is it my fault?

My head says that it’s not, that we just weren’t meant to be,
And to get over you,
Cuz’ you’re not worth all of this pain.

But in my heart, I don’t think I will ever stop loving you!

I will try to be happy,
But without you by my side, it seems impossible!

There may always be an empty space in my heart,
Waiting for the love from you!

Happy Times at Peterson

Good things and bad things happen
But never at Peterson
It gives us the time
To laugh and have fun
I like it when the teachers
In the classroom say
Children pick up your
Pencils and begin
We love our teachers from first
Until the last one we meet.
I got to know from what’s right
And what’s wrong.
I like to do many things
That can give us high expectations.
But never had the time to do it.
I am lucky enough to
Have a school like Peterson!
Or I wouldn’t have friends
Or these great things that
Peterson gave us.
I loved Peterson from
Beginning to end
And I still do when it comes
To say Good-bye.
That’s when I will remember
That
Peterson is the BEST!!!

New beginnings are sometimes tough,
You always learn new things.
Life has many obstacles for everyone,
You’ll need to have courage.

The journey might be lonesome,
The journey might be long.
Just keep going,
Try to fit in,
And always have hope in what’s to come.

Life sometimes starts with many obstacles,
I face those obstacles each day.
I always try to blend in with everyone,
I try harder and harder everyday.

Sometimes what I plan doesn’t work out,
I hate when that happens to me.
However,
If I try harder and harder,
Soon it will all work out,
How I want it to be.

Everyday we run around, thinking what’s going to happen next.
Tomorrow is always there but never really comes.
Everyone’s life is so simple and so complex.
We have so much but we need more.
But now is when it all changes and has to begin.
With a win there’s a loss you gotta take it on.
You gotta hustle and work for it,
Need to take some hits for it but you can’t quit.
That is how the world is. You can’t leave because it’s do or die.
You can never say goodbe, just stand up and fly.
Give it a try and keep your eyes glued to the sky.
Never look down, how many times should  I imply?
Life is impopssible but you need to defy.
You need to win from within and keep your fears hidden.
That is how the world is.
Nothing is ever there, you just have to sit there in despair.
Or you can fight and flare for it and take some time to prepare for it
Because that is how the world is.
The sun is not bright enough.

We’ve been through so much
And I can’t stand your touch
From those soft fingertips on my skin.
I’m tired and so sick of this.
I never should have shared my thoughts.
We grew too close for our own good

But here’s my exception:
I’ll let you in
One last time
On these thoughts that
Race through my mind.

I hate you more than you hate me,
Take these words, all you’ll need to see:
Lies, a tragedy, and absolute lust.
All I know is in love I can’t trust.

Vibrant flowers fill the airs aroma
Just like popcorn in a movie theatre
Hiding in the grass are lots of ants
Building colonies and looking for food
Trying to sustain a stable life
Life on Earth is hard for ants
But just like ants life is hard for humans too
We have to protect our Earth or else it will collapse
And life itself would deteriorate
Just like an ant’s colony if we step on them
So we have to start acting now
Or else our Earth would crumble to the ground
Natural disasters would rip through the Earth
Just like a knife going through pie
So protect our Earth with all our might
And take a stand and hang tight
Because if the Earth goes BOOM!!
There would be nothing else to bloom!

That little rascal
He has a sick-minded mind
Just look what he has done
He scratched my cd’s
Messed up my room
And played my video games without me knowing
He drew on my shirts
Fed my homework to the dog
And squirted my friends with a water gun
He stole all my candy
Lost my library card
And broke the toy that my friend let me borrow
He tore all the pages in my books
Cut the wire to my computer
But what can I say
He’s just my little brother
