As the crisp, cool air hits my face,

the verdant trees wave to me with grace,

I see the scintillating waterfall,

standing up so high and tall,

I was soon consumed by sweet wanderlust,

and decided climbing up it was a must,

soon I heard the water’s pound,

and that became the only sound,

a flower nearby filled my nose,

as its fragrant scent tingled my toes,

I touched the waterfall, oh so grand,

and felt the water cascade through my hand,

at that moment I knew I was truly at peace,

as my worries gradually began to cease.

The bright lights were shining

Everyone was staring

The judges with pens in hand

The music starts blaring

I suddenly start to move

The wind has been taken out from under my feet

I’m flying through the air

Upside down and all around

I finish to look out at the audience

I bow and walk off the stage

My face is beaming with excitement

I had finally done it myself.

Weekends are real great

Helps you clean a clutterd slate 

Fortnite all day long

The pool is so cool

Cool off on a summer day

Cool water on you

Feel the hot hot sun

Won’t stop you from having fun

Pool all day and night

I walk to the park                                                                                                                                                                                          My hands sweaty from nervousness                                                                                                                                                          I see the ark                                                                                                                                                                                                    Of the Alpengeist                                                                                                                                                                                          At Busch Gardens

i start to hear the rain come down

i can see the trees sway back and forth because of the wind

i see the rain bounce of the road

i can feel the house shake every time it thunders

the lightning lights up the dark rooms

i hear the bings from my phone

see the texts from my friends

then i hear my dads voice saying go down stairs

i see the water coming in from outside

i close my eyes hoping for it to be over

and then i can’t hear 0r see anything

it’s quite the rain stopped and it’s over

Can you hear the kids?

Their parents are screaming

Texts are forever long and never ending

“School is a safe place” though is it true?

Maybe, but the people in it may not be

The kids are running as if they were animals scavenging for life

Phone calls to parents are exchanged

The news is blowing up

This is a tragic thing, but all we have done is publicize everything

When does it stop?

Does it stop when the kids hearts do?

These guns are doing no good

The kids are not either

“They’re okay” as you brush it off your shoulder

But the thing is, these kids are not “okay”

January 20, Winston Salem, North Carolina- May 25,  Noblesville, Indiana

These shootings are spreading like a virus

Are the kids still “okay” or are we  actually ready to do something?

It was a bright sunny day

The birds were chirping

The breeze had a sweet scent

So sweet you could almost taste it

But suddenly the sky became very dark

The birds stopped chirping

And the wind had a bitter taste and was now howling

The rain started coming down like bullets

Huge bolts of lightning were striking everywhere

But the worst was yet to come

A giant tornado started to rip through trees

And anything that that stands in its path

After it passes everything is quiet

And it is now peaceful with a magnificent rainbow

On top of the clouds

Zachs in the hilltops, views real nice

Guns loaded, mines blowing, and you know he hits his shots

Temptation growing, fingers aching, asking his teammate to stop talking

You know he hits his shots

360 no scope approaching, you know its that time of the fight

Time to clip it

10 left, hes got it in the bag

Bush camper wants to win

Except he picked the wrong fight

One more time he jumps

Blots out and loaded, all it takes is one

You know he hits his shots

He’s like a sniper

His enemies are his prey

They prey roars in pain as the gun goes BOOM

The guns spraying

Bolts piercing the head as if he was hunting dear

Now doing star power

He got that #1 Victory Royale

It was a stormy day outside

It was raining like a bomb field om world war one

I couldn’t get to my car

But i was so hungry

I could eat all the candy in willy wonka

So i decided to run to my car

The rain felt like bullets hitting my head

I was so wet it felt like i was a fish

The water made my clothes soaked

It felt like i was as heavy as a rhino

I fell to the ground

The water drowned me and killed me
