I used to be small thinking life was a ball

But now I grew taller while my brother became more of a bother

I always believe I can do better
But I never thought I was clever

I once was a child
But now I became more wild

If I could do better

I would never have to wear leather

I never need to impress anyone

But I might only impress the special someone

I can't cheat myself

But I can push myself

I won't sleep on life

But I might use all my might

I used to be small but than I learned to be tall

I am very strong.

I wonder where I went wrong

I see what I've become.

I want to stay strong.

I am very strong.

I pretend I'm okay.

I feel like everything will go my way.

I touch the sharp glass.

I worry that I wont pass.

I cry and I don't know why.

I am very strong.

I understand reality.

I say I can be anything.

I dream that I can do better things.

I try to push myself.

I hope my family has good health.

I am very strong.

I'm learning to grow.
And I'm learning to not go with the flow.
And I'm learning to not be slow

Not lie and be fake, when I please.

And I'm learning not to cry,

And I'm learning not to be fake and lie.

And I'm learning to forget my past (though it sometimes really hurts me).

Not to hang on to the past.

And I'm learning to move on fast

When I'm feeling bad.

And I'm learning that it's much

Much easier to be care free.

Writer's Affirmation Poem - Trinity Wong

I am bright

I value my civil rights

I write about my future

I trust who I'm there for

I honor my teachers

I give voice to what I stand for

I give voice to what gives me more

I am an open-minded person

I make a place for comfort and safety

I hold for what challenges I encounter

I am brave and strong

I make myself believe I can move on

I don't understand

why people fight over the same thing

why people try to be bigger than everything

why they try to stand out from all acting big and tall.

But most of all

why people don't care

why they wait till the last year to stop

why they want family to get involved

What I understand most is

why High School is always the same

why students think its always lame

why they rather be in a game rather than do their homework and get better grades

I wish I could fly far in the sky

Like an airplane
And I dream of happy thoughts

I am flying sky rocket

I used to bug

But now I grew taller than a mug

I seem to be tiny

But I'm really big minded.

Let them be as snow
always on the ground or in the sky with a flow,
but played by people who are learning to grow.

I’d rather be a build snow man,
smiling to the children, like an old grandma would not worrying about school homework to do.

To have melted to the ground,
to evaporate, to grow, to rise from the ocean flow,
of the fishes who always grow.

To be growing in a cloud with so much power, falling down right back to the ground, this power I can expand
or keep falling for children to play in.

I’d rather be snow for kids to play in, and if so i'd make them smile and enjoy life,
than to be stuck reading books studying for a hard test, crying how they have no friends
by bullies who are bigger than a human pyramid.

I’d rather smell of the salty ocean
than of stinky wet socks.
If I could evaporate to the clouds
I’d rather be snow once again.

Yellow

a sun in the sky,
sunflowers in a field,
lemons in a tree,
a school bus driving by,
rubber duck that is squeaking,
little bee buz-buzzing.
A yummy sweet banana,
honey on bread,
orange juice when you're sick in the head.

A soft squishy puddy,
a field that may be green,
bumpy hard road maybe in your dreams.
Brighten the sky so so high,
don't know what to do but can make you fly,
bring out the color of a sweet lemon pie.

If I were in charge of the world

I’d cancel poverty,

unequal rights ,

racial fights, and also

Donald Trumps prices.

If I were in charge of the world

There would be fresher breezed air,

colors everywhere, and

less pollution handled with such care.

If I were in charge of the world

You wouldn’t have illegal drugs.

You wouldn’t have increasing funds.

You wouldn’t have much bugs,

or “You're an illegal Mut!”

You wouldn’t even have decreasing incomes life will be more fun.

If I were in charge of the world

money would be a vegetable.
A less world of war instead you'll have a better credit score,

And a person who sometimes

forgot to live in courage,

And sometimes forgot to think like a kid,

Would still be allowed to be

in charge of the world.
