I am a thug going to school
I am a bullet speeding through the air
I am a comet hitting the earth
I am a lizard crawling up your leg
I am a star one out of a million
I am a volcano blowing up big
I am money spent on a house
Poems by: Mario B.
Sometimes in my dreams
I see my enemy
My enemy is death
Death took my dog
Death is in his eyes
I wish death would go to the door
I wish death would go to hell
I love my dog
He went to the light
My dog is my friend
I love my dog
I see my mother
She is standing on a mountain
I must embrace my heart
When I look through the window
I see the moon
The things I love are my nightmares.
Poem by: Melissa B.
Sometimes in my dreams
I remember beautiful times with a lost friend
I remember my love for him, the love we both shared
I remember my dog's bright green eyes
When they looked up at me all happy and cheerful
Then in an instant his and my life changed
A car from out of what seemed to be nowhere
I see his eyes close and watch as death falls upon him
I know he's scared to see the big door
That is followed by that big bright light
Then I see my love, my friend, my life
Close his eyes tight and forever.
Poem by: Avaughnte C.
Sometimes in my dreams
I see my father
He is disgusted in me
When I see him in the mirror
I know he loves me
But should he punish me this way
What about the secrets he told me to keep
Even though I tore down the gates of hell
It just wasn't enough for him
Together, I thought we could make it through anything
Why does he want to punish me this way?
Poems by: Matt C.
I am a thug hiding in the shadow
I am a bullet gliding through the sky
I am a comet like a rock
I am quick like a lizard
Bright as a star-wild as a volcano
I am lots of money in your pocket.
Sometimes in my dreams I see a gate
With great courage I open it
I see my life as a warrior before my eyes
I hope this is not real... so much blood
I see swords bang
I see myself together with an enemy... more blood
The hope within my eyes flies away
and back out the gate as
I see the truth
is the other...
is me
