And it's beginning to pour outside 
soon after it began
to clear up and to turn very sunny
All the kids start to run outside

So so expensive but worth it,
Sneakers.

the warmer weather will be so great
fun in the sun with your friends
i hope it never ends
two months without school 
it's an awesome time
but then we go back
it'll be a grind
blaring music in the car
late night drives going so far

I look down and see lots of feet,
buildings tower over high in the sky,
I'm so happy I could probably cry,
but that would be lame,
so I'll keep myself tame,
Times Square is covered with flashing lights,
everything is so very bright,
finally we arrive in broadway for the musical,
I'm so happy it's almost hysterical.

The captain shouted in vain
A storm was growing, 
A cold wind blowing

The boat was being tossed around,
But all was safely bound
Nothing could go overboard,
So tightly wrapped in cord

Through the storm they would prevail,
By clutching tightly to the rail

But Hockey is my favorite one,
Its more fun then Soccer,
and all the rest,
Hockey is my favorite sport,
and its very fun to play,
It is the best when you score goals,
and when you win,
But even when the game is over,
I will always be wanting to play again.

I have to change at my locker

During the game,
the croud makes me feel like I have so much fame

I hit it off the pole,
and scoare a great big goal

Then we celebrate
and wait to learn our fate

After the game
everyone cheers my name

Have fun beneath

far away from the salty tide
every dusk I come out and seek
worthy prey atop the mountain peak
I hunt them down full of pride
until the sun illuminates the sky
the cycle repeats day by day
hunting down worthy prey
in the end it's worth the prize
in the forest is where I reside

the world changed back

the flowers bloomed

The sand sticks to my feet,
Shells are scattered everywhere,
People sunbathing in their chairs,
Little kids splash and play,
While their parents sleep away,
The water crashes and roars,
When it washes away the shore,
Sand as white as bleach,
Right here on the beach!

He was spitting bars like rappers in society
He was sporting his clout goggles of red
Wishing he was living in Compton instead
He made a new purchase of a hat from Supreme
Hoping to one day realize his dream
He wanted to become a YouTube star
Looking back now he'd come so far 
Trying to make it big on SoundCloud
Wearing his Gucci slides he was so proud

So he waits until he is once again alone.

sitting by the beach, a breeze blowing briskly through my salty hair.
Struggling stoking campfires,
the wind coming lightly off the water blowing it out each time.
Staying up late, sneaking out of the camper to play at the park. Thinking our parents didn't know.
Waking up and eating Eggos, asking our parents for change to buy slushies at the store.
Walking around all day, stopping at the arcade for prizes seeing who could get the most tickets.
Beach shuttles, sandy puddles and late night cuddles with our new found friends, dreading when the summer ends, at the campground.

for all my life I have been training
all this time I've been complaining about never getting this opportunity 
but now it's here

where all the hard-work finally pays off
I just need to remember to breathe

Monsters that fly and crawl on the ground
They hunt at night and are gone during days
Disappearing with the sun's first rays

Money in his hand he had not

But then he remembered 
He had a bill tendered

With $6 left
He bought 6, no theft

It always seems that you're millions of miles away

No matter how many lives we live, 
We never seem to get a good end

We're trapped in an eternal cycle of tragedy,
Falling victim to the music through which our stories are told

We are puppets for the gods,
And for those who look back at us as synthetic beings

And no matter how many times we go around the circle,
It always seems to end the same way: we are seperated

Even so, I will always use my life to protect yours,
If fate chooses to paint you as the villain, I will challenge it

I will retain my hope for just one happy ending,
Because I've been given the gift of someone to share my lives with

And as long as I'm with you,
I can always be happy somehow

Because, we are twins after all, right

Where there is different cultures all around

Where there is bright lights
And loads of people
I'd like to travel anywhere
To get away from this tiny island
For just a week or two

So I put on my seat belt so I won't die,
I taxi toward the runway alone,
And I take off without clearance cause I'm bad to the bone,
I just chill in the air while I soar,
And just listen to the sound of the engine roar,
Now it's time to come back down,
And I think about my life while I come around,
The touchdown was easy on the wheels,
And I taxi back to the real world in my flying automobile.

She was never so happy that them two had met

Don't worry about emotions, they are always in the mind

Crying is really easy, but it's hard to say goodbye

and they are monstrous in oceans
A fisherman rows his boat on soothing current
Shipmen pull ropes and scramble to keep the vessel afloat
The fishing line goes taut as the bait was caught
Monstrous waves out in the ocean brought fear
The fisherman stumbles and fall into the lake
Monstrous waves falls over the ship and into the sea
The man resurfaced, grumbling of the wet
Thunder rumbles in the sky as the last mast sinks.

She was more than a dog to me.

it's gentle at first 
but then
it's rough 
drowning me to death 
i cant breathe
panic
then 
my mind goes blank
i breath down water 
peaceful 
it's gentle again dark yet 
peaceful

Then I fall
While I'm down,
I frown
Then I get up, 
put water in my cup
Get back in the game, 
me and Lebron are the same
And I get some funk 
when I dunk

pout in the sun
digging holes
helping souls
washes away worries
and then he scurries
away from the cat 
who had a lil hat
the dog hated the cold
if it was warm all the time he"d be sold

A new bat is what I bought.
Baseball is a great sport,
You can play if you're tall or short.
It is super fun,
but are you able to run?
If you can't throw a baseball,
then you won't be good at all.
I hope you brought water,
it'll only get hotter.

Retail Row gets Rowdy in the safe zone, you might want to rethink “ranking up the kills”

Don't deny it but Dusty Depot sucks, but Dark Voyagers are down to deal damage when you're down

Tilted tower traumatizes teams, while Tomato Town takes two minutes to loot

Speaking of loot, don't go here, Loot Lake and Lucky Landing loot's lit

the thing I always need
I'm never around around
I'm always refreshing it to see if there are more likes 
Freaking out when I get left unread
Being mad when someone k's me
When I don't have it, I can't function
it's an addiction 
it is my phone

My room as black as night 
Thoughts of monsters and demons 
Fill my head and cause a fright 

I desparately want to fight 
But my body lay still 
I'm lost in a nightmare 
The opposite of a thrill 

My eyes shoot open and my heart slows down 
As I realize that nothing I fear is really around

As she clutched her pillow tight  
She don't dare open her eyes 
And she held on for dear life

Hot streaks lined her pink cheeks 
And the floorboard outside her door creaked  
Although she fought to keep them at bay 
Her tears would never stay 

Her vision was blurred 
And her long sleeves were soaked 
Her bottom lipped quivered 
She felt as if she was going to choke  

Never again, she vowed 
'Will I ever shed a tear'
But then she opened her eyes 
And realized it was all real

Everybody screams, 
The sky opens up,
Nothing is as it seems.

People start disappearing,
In the middle of the night,
Demons running to and fro,
We're hiding out of sight. 

I cover my ears and close my eyes,
As I sit and wait for the sun to rise.

He took my glasses and it's kinda sad
I never thought that I'd see him this way
He's been at me all day
I've never seen his face this red
I think imma 'bout to be dead
Sneaking around for him not to find it
I've been hiding it under my armpit
He made the worst trade deal in history
If he'll get it, it's a mystery.

While white widows sit fearfully feeling fault
As the days go by and women say goodbye
I feel as if something is killing me inside
Sad songs say a soft someone sighs in distress
While the one who broke this heart sits silently snickering at the sadness
And that sad someone sings softly somewhere of their picking purple peneolpes.

Checking weather statements once or more
I suddenly and slowly drift off to sleep 
With dreams of no school I will keep
It's the next morning and sunlight peeks in through my window
I look outside and see the piles of bright white snow
A few minutes later my mom opens the door a crack
Telling me to get ready for school and to grab my pack
I jump out of bed and quickly check my phone
Sadly, on this day I won't be staying home

We hardly ever have a test

We always have quite a ball
Tenor sax is what I play
I could play it all day
We also have clarinet, low brass, and flute
With all those instruments it's always a hoot
We play cool songs from the past
with Mr. Langille it's always a blast!
