I remember the first time I said I was different I said, “Hey, Mom, I’m gay” Ever since then, our relationship hasn’t been the same. Even my own mother couldn’t accept the fact. I have the same rights just as you Gay, Faggot, Lezbo, Homo Theses word I’ve heard and others I have grown used... Read more »

Is it really worth it? To throw everything away? Losing friends Fighting with family and saying things you don’t mean Why not just wait? Problems with physical and psychological problems Just wait Wait until you’re older Wait until it is merely just for fun Doing stupid things like dancing on tables Making... Read more »

Smoking is no joke It’s more than a drug Bad breath and polluted air rising from the burning cigarette The harsh stench of stinky hair Why would one want yellow teeth? Second hand smoke spreading to children, family and strangers That is unfair It is hard to quit like choosing salad over Hershey’s... Read more »

The phone rings, My teacher told me I had to go to the nurse’s office, I was as red as a strawberry All that was going through my mind was, Why do they need me? They asked me to sign papers, Consent to be drug tested They asked me to pee in this weird container, Standing in a the tiniest bathroom... Read more »

Veterans serve our country Risking their lives for us, being strong leaders Crying of wives and children when knowing they will not see their loved one in a while Tears from a veteran’s face, wishing they were in a different place Bombs firing like fireworks on Fourth of July Wounded soldiers are as...

Day or night, In in the heat or freezing cold Working hard from morning until night, These soldiers are fighting for their lives.

No one really understands this concept, To be beaten down by such small words, To be screamed at to just be normal, To be deliberately disrespected due to your own sexuality, To be pointed out in a group of people in public, To feel so small in such a big world, Yeah, I bet you don’t know how it feels. Going... Read more »

Two kids shoot up Columbine Now the government says my guns aren’t mine Guns are big, brutal, bad they say But what did guns do to the USA They won us wars They protected our homes They stopped those robbers at the drugstore But yet they say guns are evil Someone forgot to tell you people kill people But...

Sanchez, Strong, and Salas Just some of the many MLB players that used a form of steroids These can either make you strong as an ox, Or leave you looking dumb as a rock.

Taken away because you weren’t responsible Taken away because you couldn’t handle me Taken away because you are too young I cannot exist because of your mistake Two people who couldn’t escape the iron grip of desire My breathe never to be seen on a cold winter’s day No taste of lemons so bitter...
