I remember when we were together you said…….

I promise you my heart.

I promise not to hurt you.

I promise not to lie.

I promise to defend you with my life.

I promise today tonight forever.

I promise to always be a good friend.

I promise to make you laugh when you are down.

I promise to never turn my back on you.

I promise to always love you the right way.

I promise to always trust you.

I promise to never break your heart.

I promise to always wait for you.

I promise to never talk about you behind your back.

But what happened to those promises? Because when we broke up you didn’t only break the promises you also broke my heart into two pieces.

Love

Love

Love is unexplainable,

You have happy moments,

You have sad ones,

You have outrageous moments,

Or sometimes you may not have none,

Love is a question,

That is always backed up with an answer,

I love you I love you not,

You tell me your answer!

Love is confusing,

Because it’s always followed behind with pain and pleasure,

But when you really love someone,

That you are willing to do what ever,

Just give and have trust in me,

I promise it will get better,

Know I guess this is love and my love you have won,

Know I grab hold of each of your hands and I won’t let go because I know that you are the one for me.

Friends

Friends

Roses are red

<w:wrap type="square" side="left"></w:wrap> Violets are blue <w:wrap type="square" side="left"></w:wrap>
Friends are not forever

But now I’m stuck with you

Friends are betrayers

Next thing you know, they are your haters

You think you know them,

But behind your back they’re fake

Trying to break your heart at one rate

But it hurts when you go separate ways

After all those times we played

Even though we had bad times

I still forgave

Because I didn’t believe what people said

So now you know, friends are not true

When you know the real ones

come once in a blue moon

***YOU ARE NOT ALONE***

Young people!!!

Young boys!!!

Young girls!!!

You are not alone,

We know you’re hurt,

We know you just want it to go away...

But you just have to stay strong!!!!

It’s not the end of your life!!!

Show people you are still human!!!

Even if you feel like you have no love,

Just know you have others with the same thing.

Don’t try to kill yourself it’s not worth it!!!

But now you know: use protection!!!

Young people stay strong

You have younger people looking up to you!!!

Keep a child alive!!!!!

His Eyes

HIS EYES

By: Jessica Soto

When I look into his eyes

I wonder does he really LOVE Me.

He says so

Or is he just playing with my head

2 get what he wants!!!

He will just leave with a smile on his face

I’m falling into this boy

I really like him

But what do I do if I don’t trust him

I’m scared

That I will get my feelings hurt.

I still believe that one day

You and I will find our selves in love again!!!!

A Broken Heart

*MY LOVE*

Written by: Eddie Rosado/ 7^th grade

It’s kind of cute how when you laugh,

Your smile makes me smile.

I think it’s pretty that you care for me.

I think its cool that you help gets me through the day! But if you do all these things for me,

How come you’re not here?

I’ve been wondering about that.

You care for me so much, yet you are never there.

I can’t see how I’m with you.

If you care for me you’ll leave me!

I can’t take any more of it.

My heart has so many scars from your love;

I can’t ride for you any more.

<w:wrap type="tight"></w:wrap>As of now; you are no longer, MY LOVE!

Emotions

EMOTIONS

By: Antaneyah Johnson

Love… Hate…

Why do I feel the same?

Why is hatred born?

I have pride in myself…

Pain…

Sometimes you just have to let it rain…

Sadness…

Madness…

How you feel when the people you care for so much are gone…

Karma…good or bad,

Why does it have to happen to you?

For people who take lives!

I damned you to the pits of Hell!

You don’t give a damn…

For the people that were special to them

What if it happened to you!?

You don’t understand the great heartache that you have put on them

Be thankful for the people you have hurt

Who have spared you?

But you couldn’t spare them!?

I feel there is always hope even when we feel

We are in the dark…

The Day I Saw You

THE DAY I SAW YOU

By: Kathy Garcia

I SAW YOU

YOU WERE A MYSTERY TO ME

I WENT UP TP YOU

AND I SAW YOU AS A CLUE

I WAS LOOKING AT YOU

AND YOU LOOKED AT ME

I ASKED PEOPLE ABOUT YOU

BUT YOU WERE A MYSTERY TO EVERYBODY

I FOUND YOUR NUMBER ON THE FLOOR

THEN I CALLED YOU

YOU DIDN’T ANSWER

I WAS SO MAD

I WENT TO GO FIND YOUR HOUSE

BUT YOU WASN”T THERE

I ASKED FOR YOU

BUT I CAN’T FIND YOU

EVERYDAY THAT IS PASSING

I THINK OF YOU AS A MYSTERY FOR ME AND EVERYBODY ELSE

My Angel

An Angel Just for Me

Guess what?

I have mine

My very own angel

She’s watching

Watching over me

My mother

Is watching me

God made her

Just for me

I share my heart to her and sometimes

She already knows what was going to tell her

She made a perfect woman out of me

And when I look in the mirror

I see her

& just her, no one else

Love

By; Stephanie Farrell

Love is good,

Love is bad,

Love is happy,

Love is sad,

Love is something you want to have

Love has a strong feeling

A feeling everyone must have

Love can be as strong as you want it to

You just have to believe in it

Just believe!!

Wake Up!

WAKE UP!

There is lots of commotion outside

There are a lot of fights

Something has happened

And no one is laughing

Parents are desperately looking for their boys and girls

I guess it’s true what they announced: God has come to this world

Wake up soon the time will be done

When all your time will be gone

Christ is going to come

The peace and happiness in this place is unexplainable

My joy and laughter is uncontainable

My mind and body has changed

Everything is great and it’s somehow not strange

While down in the streets there is suffering and pain

They had their chance now they’ll be burning in flames

Wake up it’s the end of your pleasure

Now you’ll be judged and measured

God is coming

WAKE UP!

Young Teens

Young teens

Many teens achieve

But they’re the ones that don’t believe

That there life is not worth living for

So people show them the door

Some think that death is the answer

But not those with cancer

Some fight

With all their might

To show where they come from

So there not given the title scum

Some just change there way

So there not like yesterday

So rest in peace

From greatest to least

My Life, Your Life

My Life, Our Life

My life should be everybody’s life.

If my life is good, then your life should

Be good too.

Even thought your mom or dad

May be a crack head or beat on you,

Your life still can be good if you make

It good.

I have a mom and dad, but my dad

Doesn’t Live with me and my mom.

Their are some people that may do bad things,

But to some people, life comes to be more then

What they expected.

If you just go to school and don’t get pregnant,

I know that it’s going to be stressful because just doing all that is Stressful

For me also and I have a great family.

Trust me just this once.

Why are You Always Mad at Me?

WHY ARE YOU MAD AT ME?

By: Kathy Garcia

WHY ARE YOU MAD AT ME?

I’M AS SWEET <st1:State w:st="on">AS</st1:State> CAN BE

IF YOU WANT TO HATE ME

THEN DO IT

YOU THINK YOU’RE THE BOSS

TO TAKE ALL MY LIPGLOSS

YOU THINK I’M CRAZY

BUT I THINK YOU’RE LAZY

WE’RE NOT THE SAME

WHEN YOU CAN’T EVEN LEARN MY NAME

THIS WAS NOT WHAT I WANTED

BUT IT HAPPENED

YOU’RE NOT HOT

TO BE ON THE PARKING LOT

IF IT’S GOING TO BE LIKE THAT

THEN BYE BYE FOREVER

THAT’S WHY YOU ARE ALWAYS mad AT ME.

This is My Life

by:Maria E.C. Muniz

I sit and wonder how

How my life got like this

I never wanted to live like this

I guess what they say is true

You can’t always get what you want

But in my case I never got want I wanted

I’m only 13 years old and I know what it feels like to lose a mother,

Be alone, be scared, feel like your nothing, feel like no one cares, and have people looking down on you

Trust me when I say it is not a good feeling

I hate feeling like that

But I thank (GOD) for waking me up and not calling me home

I’m not ready to be called home yet

I have to face my struggles

(this is my life so hear my cry)

ForEver

“ForEver”

By: Candy Gonzalez

When you’re feeling down,

And all alone,

Remember I am here for you.

Through all of the above.

Cause when im feeling down

I know you’ll be there

You can make me smile

Even when there are no tears.

You’ll always be my best friend,

Through whatever comes our way

And we’ll be united once again, someday.

These days in school, students are learning writing and writing with pain in their hands. They are watching the clock as the clock is turning, when the classes pass the students just ran. Another day in school the staff is cleaning outside, horns are beeping. They clean and clean without the whining, when their done the hallways are shining. The last day of school we’re happy and proud, we get out of school screaming so loud.

U going thru 9 months

Of pain

Later on your life is going down

The drain

You going to be stuck with a

Baby

You just a young

Lady

People think it’s

Cool

But it takes u out of

School

Boys say its

Great

Boys say its

Fine

9 month later they say it

Aint mines

The Aftermath

The aftermath almost was a lake the way my family cried

And yes so did I

I’m sitting at home and still those tears have yet to dry

My negative path I have set aside

I miss the trees and the view from the bluish sky

My crew influenced lives

And most important they started mine

Nothing has change

Still men who put their hands on spouses

Still crank fiends who live in abandoned houses

No place of my own I still sleep on my aunt’s couches

I thank god for the cards he put in my hand

And my beautiful mother that plays the role of my father

And made me more of a man

She makes sure I stay in school

So I wont become a bum collecting cans

Or a dealer measuring grams

The twenty one days you have given me

Showed me what people are really capable of

I though they showed hate

I was wrong my crew was able to love

I had to disable this hate drug

I have realized I am not what my father was

I still have a choice and a voice

Not to see mine or another’s blood

I make a choice and speak my voice

Not to deal with drugs

I started on a new page I forgot where I was

Friends

Friends

A friend is someone we turn to

when our spirits need a lift.

A friend is someone we treasure

for our friendship is a gift.

A friend is someone who fills our lives

with beauty, joy, and grace.

And makes the whole world we live in

a better and happier place.

Your Name

Your Name

I wrote your name in the sky,

but the wind blew it away.

I wrote your name in the sand,

but the waves washed it away.

I wrote your name in my heart,

and forever it will stay.

The History of Love

The history of love

All the love that history knows,

is said to be in every rose.

Yet all that could be found in two,

is less than what I feel for you.

Jorge Morales

Mistake

Mistake

You never know what you want until what it is is gone

And now I see that’s true

And though I can’t take back what I said

I never meant to hurt you

My love was real, my feelings pure

You were the one for me

You were every thing I ever wanted

But I guess I was too blind to see

To see that we could have made it

To see that we could still be

To see that what we had was precious

To see that I really never wanted you to leave

To see that all the while

You were the one being strong

To see that in reality

I was the one who gave up

and before I knew it

You were… gone?

I thought I was doing the right thing for me

But it turns out what I thought was right was wrong

Because I’m the one who is hurt and all I wanted was you with me

Paint Brush

I KEEP MY PAINT BRUSH WITH ME WHEREEVER I GO

IN CASE I NEED TO COVER UP SO THE REAL ME DOESN’T SHOW

I’M SO AFRIAD OF WHAT YOU’LL DO, THAT YOU MIGHT LAUGH AND SAY MEAN THINGS

Almost Like Sisters

‘’Almost like sisters’’

We’ve been through everything,

No one can compare,

You were

There to make my gray skies blue, you

Help me smile when I’d no longer care,

I never thought I’d find a best friend in you

You taught me things that others just can’t.

We help each other when we need it the most.

You got me though my darkest days, and held me

Though my most painful tears. You help me cross

The blackest haze, and chased away my ugliest fears.

I love our inside jokes and laughs, you’re a true

Friend I want you to know. Our respect for each

Other has helped us to grow.

I’ll always listen when you need to talk,

And be by your side through the sadness and tears.

Whenever you need any thing I’ll be your rock,

Only for you, I’d open both ears.

I know we’ve had some rough times, but we always make it through

I’ve never been happier as I am today.

The only person I’ve completely trusted was you,

And I wouldn’t want it any other way.

By Jennifer Melendez

Friends

by: Ashley Patrick

Friends are hard to find

They say they’re your friends

But it’s not really true

They only come once in a blue

Next thing you know

They’re talking about you

The one who’s supposed to be your friend

Turns out to be fake

Trying to grab you like a piece of cake

So now you know better

Friends are not forever

Take my advice never say never!

Her

“HER…”

By Eddie r. /7^th grade!

Her lips, her smile,

It drives me wild.

I feel sick when she’s around.

I get high off of her scent.

I have a quite special feeling about her. Sorry, but I can’t help but to look at her. But ssshhh, don’t tell no body.

My affection is supposed to be a secret!

Missing You

By Brydia Pigford

Days go by and nights are still here. Your looking down at me from above wondering if I still have love for you, even thought I go through this everyday having to say that you was a good man makes me wont to stand up for my love for you. Days I wonder what to do knowing that you are above wishing for my love to come back to you, your love for me was like a thousand seas. Nights in the bed I dream about you wondering if you were still here what will you do? Will you stay here forever and listen to my heart or will you go on and cheat and break my heart. You use to smell like cologne and a hint of roses. So days go by and nights stay here. You’re looking down on me wondering if I’m still in love. I’m missing you with all my heart there isn’t no doubt that I love you.J
