  2. This young man,
    He is tired,
    Hungry,
    And wants to go home

    And when he goes home,
    He will take a hot shower,
    Put on his pajamas,
    And eat oreos with milk,

    Then he will watch cartoons,
    And lay in bed,
    Procrastinate his school work,
    And enjoy more oreos,

    He will begin his homework at 11:00 PM,
    Then be ont he internet,
    Probably on facebook,
    And at 1:00 go to bed,
    And watch television,
    After a while,

    The young man will fall asleep.

  3. She walks by

    Sometimes I see her walk and stare
    She watches people and plays with her hair
    Make comments in her head of what we wear
    Even rolls her eyes when she doesn't care
    Thinks she's all that and makes it aware
    The way she acts when she walks, she swears
    That she's God's gift to earth when she's there
    You can't talk to her, no one dares
    I see her walk by while I sit in my chair
    She looks happy today, she has a glare
    Must be good news but she won't share
    Keeps to herself even acts unaware
    That people like around her stare
    But like I said she doesn't care
    Makes comments in her head while people stare

  4. What will she say?
    Will she embarrass me?
    Will I miss my test?
    Will I trip running up this hill?
    I overslept after my second
    Will the professor understand?
    Will it start to rain?
    Will the temperature drop?
    I forgot my jacket
    Will I have a asthma attack?
    Will my mother find out?
    Will I remember the building?
    Will I remember the floor?
    I Hate this feeling
    Will I forget to give in this paper?
    Will I remember the reading?
    Will I have a seat in class?
    Will this feeling ever pass?
    This fear is bothersome
    It makes me blue
    A freshmen late to class
    Unfortunately this is true

  5. Answer...come on,
    Tapping my leg to no song in my head.
    That girl without the bag;
    but a pen and paper.

    Don't stare at me
    I'm tired
    I'm cool

    As comfortable as I can be;
    clenched position in an inconvenient time;
    convenient breeze.

    I'm alone on this tired bench,
    but not the only on tired benches.

    I'm calm...calm
    Do I look lonesome?
    I don't care; I'm reading.

    Unsatisfactory company,
    talking nonsense.

    "Faceless sunshine, shine...shine"
    Yeah, I have class at three;
    James is awfully close
    I better lean over.

    Legs crossed...not facing anyone.
    I wonder if they'll note the discomfort.
    I will look; I will be respectful.

    I'm entertained;
    yeah I've been to the lake.
    Rachael that was a really nice lake.

    I don't feel like winter...
    Let me finish this sentence
    "so long"

    OK, Let's go.

  7. I wake up, tired
    Don't look in the mirror
    Shower
    I hate touching this mess
    Dressed?
    No, nothing fits right
    It's way too tight
    This will never be right
    Put on something no one will notice
    It's not that i say this to myself
    I just do it
    I am now brushing my hair
    The style is the same everyday
    Low ponytail
    One of my five brothers are acting like an ass
    Again
    I storm out of my room and whop his damn ass
    I need to keep these dudes in check
    Right after I walk to school
    So sick and tired of the mess I live
    I get there
    Late
    And now this girl is siting down watching me Walk pass
    I wonder what she thinks of me...

  8. This Girl
    I wonder what this girl is looking at
    what is she writing
    and what is she looking at?

    What is she looking for
    and why is she sitting
    next to me?

    I am trying to do my homework
    im trying to study
    but this girl is distracting.

    What is she possibly doing
    i want to ask
    but i feel weirds asking.

    She is cute
    but class starts
    in only 10 more minutes.

    She gets up and starts walking
    up to the fourth floor
    and i dont see her again.

    But, i wonder what did she write?

  9. OOooh! how you doin?
    cutie pie
    I see you walkin' past
    wit ya light eyes
    headphones in your ear
    walking like you dont have
    a care
    in the world
    walking by your self?
    where's ya girl?
    maybe you just walked
    her to class
    like a true gentleman
    you probably held
    her books, her hand
    and everything
    kissed her on
    her cheek
    or maybe the lips
    told her you'll
    meet her
    when her class is dismissed
    so you now walk past
    not paying attention
    because the girl in that class
    has all your affection

  10. I crave for the facts that await my inner space.

    To realize ones true self, I venture forth.

    Tell me what I need... I beg you for the truth!

    I beg you for the lies! I need to know it all! I crave all matter of Knowledge.

    Allow me to drink from the cup of everlasting youth.

    Only knowledge will quench my thirst.

    My mind... so restless in this labyrinth before my eyes.

    My quest to find my true self and develop even further.

    Critique me if you must! I care not!

    Aide me in my journey to find my own salvation.

    Father Time warns me to take heed! My time of judgment is approaching.

    I swiftly venture forth to the great beyond.

    The time has come to test my skills.

    I seat myself upon the throne of knowledge...

    God knows many have come and failed.

    I must survive to tell my tale.

    The time is now! I act at the sound of my masters voice!

    One after the other, I answer with great ease.

    The air becomes filled with tension, I begin to choke.

    Beads of sweat perspiring from my neck.

    I pour my knowledge into my one final act, as my master commands thee to cease and desist.

    Slowly approached, I am granted the gift of Knowledge.

    With this parchment of paper, I will leave my mark upon this soil.

    Oh how I crave for Knowledge...

  11. We look good,
    we got swag,
    our pants baggy
    but, that's not bad
    we smell fresh,
    we stay fit
    the ladies love it,
    we're the shit.
    clean sneakers,
    polo shirts
    blackberry bold,
    more pins, wouldn't hurt
    we got game,
    so let us be,
    don't like it?
    Just leave!

  12. I'm sitting in history class when in comes a girl who I always see with a boy (who I assume are dating or a couple). A few moments later in comes in the boy and I remember that the girl had an expression of anger on her face and so did he when he came in. They both normally sit in the back of the class and so I saw him join her but then hear her yell at him, asking "Where were you?!?" he replies; "I was where we agreed on" she replies; "No you weren't! Who were you with?! You was with that girl right?! him; NO I WASN'T! They went back and forth and their volume was getting louder and louder as they are still disagreeing the professor obviously notices and decides to verbally break it up by asking; "Hey what's going on back there?? Hey! Hey! Enough! Stop it! You're in class now discuss what ever it is after class!" I can only imagine what was going through that girl's mind; First, if she is at the spot they normally wait for each other and he is not there and if she already has trust issues with in regards to another girl than that is probably what was going through her mind in that moment... she was probably heated and felt as if her blood was boiling while the seconds became minutes. I guess she was hoping he was either not able to make it to class or something that avoided his attendance anything but getting no answer as to why he couldn't make it because there was no reason as to why he couldn't make since they meet every other day with out a problem. Well, as she sees him entering the room she expects to hear an explanation that would obviously satisfy her thirst and avoid an argument but an "I was there" just didn't happen to be enough. So, as the words roll out of his mouth its hitting her that he may be lying and that he probably was with "her". This girl is sooo furious I can tell she is only getting more upset and saying to herself what a liar and cynical guy he really is. Ignoring that they are in class and that the professor together with the class are able to hear them and assume what is going on still doesn't stop them from fighting back and forth. She feels so upset that she wishes she can just choke him! Unfortunately, they are in class and this matter will have to wait and until then... she will brewing more things to say to him.

  16. Revitalized

    Vision of perfection,
    Newly realized.
    Still can't believe,
    How you've altered my insides.
    Characteristics I favor,
    Mature lease on life.
    I'm told that this is better,
    But I believe when you ease my strife.
    Childish wandering out the window,
    Wisdom as you've come of age.
    And so it's me you admire,
    Acting as if the world's my stage.
    Express these feelings so freely,
    Now the world knows our desires.
    Until we meet again tomorrow,
    Know it's you that fuels my fires.

  17. As i sit and do nothing,
    As i sit and stare;
    I see a group of people;
    Boy i wish i was there.

    As i sit and search through my backpack,
    As i sit and count the stairs,
    I am dying of boredom;
    This sh*t isn't fair.

    I search through my pockets,
    to find some change;
    To buy me a coffee;
    These prices are out of my range.

    I wish i knew some of these "cool people"
    So i wont be starring at my phone,
    So i wont be sitting and doing nothing,
    I guess I'll keep counting the steps,
    Up high to down low.
