Life is like a video game,

It's fun and exciting,

dark and terrifying,

adventurous, but also dangerous.

You might enjoy what you see,

the choices you make,

the things you take,

the lives you create.

But you'll never know what's in store,

until you fight to the finish,

whether you're in it to win it,

the game will end.

Life is like a rushing train
fast pace with only moments to think
must catch the train

Always on the go
places and people to see
nothing going slow
must catch the train

Blue, green, yellow, pink
These are the colours everyone wants you to see.
These are the colours that make walls of lies.

Black, Grey, and every shadow
These are the true colours
These are the colours that make up life.

Black, grey, blue, green, yellow, pink
These are the colours of the perfect life.

My name is not just a label

But it’s a title to my story

And some pages are ripped, empty, full

But all you see is the cover page

My name is who I am

And it was given to me

By people who love me

And who care for me

You may know the title to my story

But not how hard I worked writing it

I am my name

So don’t say you know my name

Before you know my story

Life is like an effect

One move move can change your future

But sometimes doing the wrong thing

Is the right choice,

But life isn’t always fair

Some have choices others will never have,

Either way life is just choices,

This is the butterfly effect

Friendship isn’t the person

you have known the longest..

It's about who came,

and never left your side.

That friend is the person

Who cherishes your true identity.

Who respects and accepts your boundaries...

Looking through children's eyes:
~Sarina Aquino

Brown, blue and green eyes
No matter the colours
Everything we see can be different from one another
Children look up to their mothers
As a mother shows love to her child
The bond will only get stronger
Between a child and a mother
No matter the colours

When you feel you have nothing left.

When you feel beaten, tired, sick, and betrayed,

When you want nothing more than to parrish into ashes,

Nothing more than to be left in peace,

To suffer in silence,

To take your last few breaths alone, and in pain, and forgotten,

Remember who you are,

Remember where you’re from,

Remember what you stand for,

Remember what you're fighting for,

Remember those you’re protecting,

There is no fence too high, no river too long, and no mud to thick to keep you down.

So be strong now, and remember who you are.

Sometimes there is a particular darkness that make our skies gray,

In these situations, we turn on a light and it all seems to go away,

This, for a little while, at least,
but it always stays,

I know though,
that this'll change one day,

The skies will be bright again,
so don't dismay,

Because the darkness doesn't have to be here to stay

~Amy

It's someone who's always there for you,
Someone who makes you, smile laugh, cry,
and sometimes is the person who makes your life so frustrating you would like to jump out the window,
but at the end of the day your best friend is the one sibling you get to choose.

Most people aim for the bar
A standard we are led to believe is best
Based on others achievements
Why not instead of aiming for a standard set by someone else
We live as sheep
Waiting for the commands of the shepherd
Why not instead of aiming for that bar
And following blindly the orders of a shepherd
We pave our own path
Set our own bar
And be our own shepherd

Life is a poem,
full of emotion.
The words we use may cause commotion.

You may not understand what was what  at first,
but in the end you'll see, it wasn't all for the worst.

Trust me you'll see,
it's all it can be.
just trust in yourself,
like putting books on a shelf.

Life is a headache,
It hurts until the end,
If you’re here long enough
Your vision will bend

Life is like school,
Years in this hell you spend,
Until it's over you go to college,
Then realize it doesn't end

Life hits you hard,
Like a good, hard smack
Kind of like a good friend
Who stabs you behind your back

I'm getting ready for my big day
I'm so tired of school
Everything they say
I want to get home to finally prove to them I'm cool
I'm going to be home alone
So its go big or go home
I get home and I feel a clench at my core
then I see it,
the brand new .44
I set up the note beside my bed
and then I cock it back and place it to my head
I think about the depression and I fall
then with red, I painted the wall.

Take a moment

Think back

Struggle and pushing

Opening your eyes

seeing the green green world

But it's not done

Hurt

Confused

Agony

Trying so hard

Finally

Seeing the sky

So blue

So graceful

You've made it

You're a plant

Growing from the concrete

Through all the struggle

You'll grow into the beautiful flower

you were meant to be

-Isabelle Glazer

I stand there on the stage
Everyone watching and waiting,
My nerves start going and I'm debating if this was a good idea.
A nervous smile draws onto my face
I hear cheers and encouragement from the audience's place
My eyes close and I take a deep breath
Relax
There's nothing to fear about this
This isn't something like death
This is a stage
A place to speak
And I'm not afraid to stay on the stage

Life is a song with a deadline
You think about it a lot
You worry about every verse
Everything needs to be perfect
You want all words to be diverse
You sing it in front of everyone
You didn't get the reaction you'd expect
You look back at your mistakes,
That you didn't have enough time to correct

Sun shines through the window

Light flashes towards my face

The flash makes my skin show

The very skin I need to replace

The feeling of it all

Sinking deep inside

Makes my whole body fall

And feel like I have died

I scratch through the surface

Of my own sinking heart

To find my own purpose

And no longer tear apart

Leave my mind, darkness

Sink into your own pit

Become something so harmless

So harmless that you split

I walk up the stairs

Shining in beauty

I can feel the stares

They now see me as a ruby
