Roses are red

The sky is blue

Colors are colors

And you are you

Be who you want to be, not someone you’re not

Don’t be a genius if you don’t think you’re smart

Don’t be a clown if you don’t think you’re funny

Don’t be an actor if you don’t think you can act

Be you

Because,

Roses are red

The sky is blue

Colors are colors

And you are you.

Loneliness

Categories: Acrostic Poems, Kelsey's Voice.

Lying there bored

Only the silence to keep you company

No one to talk to

Except the walls that surround you

Leaving you with nothing to do

In the end you realize, you should have gone outside

No one there to play with

Everybody’s gone, no one around

So lonely

So bored

How?

When?

Where?

How did this happen?

When did this happen?

Where did this happen?

It is impossible.

I want to know

Why?

Did you do it on purpose

or by accident?

I need to know.

I am wondering.

Did I do it?

No, I didn’t do it

or did I?

I can’t remember

how it got

Broken.

What is Stage Fright?

When everything around you seems like it’s spinning very fast

When your hands start to sweat from the burning heat

When people are staring at you and you’re afraid to mess up

When you begin to want to give up and go home

Where Were You?

One night,

You were in

Your bed and

Fell asleep.

All you

Saw for a

While was

Pitch black.

Then,

You got out of

Your bed and

Thought you were

Awake.

You walked and

Walked continuously,

Trying to find

Your parents.

Nobody was in

The house,

Just yourself

And the

Darkness.

Finally,

You found something.

What was it?

Where were you?

Were you at

Home?

What was going

On?

Where was

Everyone?

What you found

Was the

Front door.

You turned the

Doorknob,

Your heart

Pumping.

As you slowly

Opened the

Door,

It made a

Scary sound.

You opened

Your eyes

Wide open.

There it was…

Pitch black.

Were you in

The game,

” Zuthera?”

You knew it

Couldn’t be.

You walked

And walked

And saw…

Nothing.

Why was there

So much

Confusion?

Where were you?

You finally

Saw something.

What was it?

You walked

Further and saw

A tree.

There it was…

The wilderness.

All there was were

Trees,

The darkness,

Nature,

And yourself.

There wasn’t a

Sight of

Animals at all.

You sat on a

Large rock near a

Pond.

All of a sudden,

You heard a

Loud noise.

It was your

Alarm clock.

What was going on

The entire time?

It was all a

Dream.

Not only that,

But a dream

About where you

Longed to be…

The wilderness.

She is a mother

Taking care of her children

I am one of her children

Waiting to give my mom something she’ll be proud of

To make her smile and love me more

I would love to have a memento to remember her by

I know love last forever

and so will the amazing things I will do one day

The little girl

played alone with her Barbie doll

on a rainy day

in her bedroom.

She had nothing else to do.

Racing Games

Rapid fire of speed

A great rival

Crushing through the streets

In control of your movement thoughout the whole town

Nitro charging all over the place

Games seem like real life

Great ways to make cars

Advantage to show skills

Multi-cop pursuits

Extremely fast speed

Sweet rides surrounding me

There once was a dog named Chloe

Her owner’s name was Joey

She played a lot

She had one spot

Her pup’s name was Zoey

My heart is filled with joy from all the laughter of my friends

My heart is filled with sadness from all the tragedies in my life

My heart is filled with anger from all the ignorance that surrounds me

My heart has a lot of feelings inside it
