I’ve been writing since I was in the fourth grade. Only recently, I’ve written more. I write about love, life, death, and friendship. One can really get to know me well if they read my work. I only write what I feel in my heart. From people who hate me, to people that mean a lot to me. I love spending quality time with my friends. I plan to go to college and study a great deal of science. Currently I’m trying to get the rest of my poems published, not to mention just trying to have fun! My message: go for your dreams. 
 

The Stage 

When I walk out as the light comes up 
I feel the doors of heaven touching my toes 
I can be any one, do any thing 
I can fly, I can die, I can be or I cannot 
I can be a villain or a saint 
I could be God 
When I walk across the stage 
The stage becomes me 
I become the stage. 

Whole Life 

I think of words all day long 
Trying to make sense of everything gone wrong 
Getting over you I must be strong 
I don’t think I can carry on 
In the dark hour, time lasts so long 
I’ll love you for my whole life and my whole life long 

Romeo and Juliet 

Two leaves one voice 
They took their choice 
That they will speak one voice 
Their love will never have a loud noise 
They loved each other in one voice 
It was their choice 
Then they made a choice 
They would never hear another voice 
True love, in one voice 
True love, in one voice 

Love 

I ask myself what is love 
Nothing comes to mind 
Do I know for sure 
I ask myself what is love 
I start to think 
But I don’t know for sure 
Then it comes to mind 
I ask my self once more 
Love is everything 
But I don’t know for sure 

Untitled 

Now at the ninth hour at night 
I come to say good night 
I would tell you to sleep tight 
But you’re not in my sight 
You see the perfect light 
Now you have no fright 
Now I say good night
