Poems Raps Song Lyrics Stories

Name: Markasha Grade: 7

Dreams
We all can fly,
We all can sore.
But to get to that point we all must learn how to fly,
We flap are wings and let the air get up under them.
Your mama and papa right there rooting for you and you are ready to take of,
First time you fall,but then you get right back up.
You give it another try and you stumble ma says don’t worry,
Pa says stay calm on try again and you say ok.
The third time you suceed ,
you sore through the sky like who’s gonna stop me from chasing my dreams.
At the end you look back ,
You say wow im on the road to succes.

This Person
This Person I stand tall by
This person people say is my twin
This person and I been through some rough times and back
This Person struggled her whole life
This person gets through life no matter what
This Person has been to “hell’ and “back”,
This Person means a lot to me,
This person sits there and helps me when I cry and have a bad day
This person would drop the “WORLD” for me
This person I love dearly and is amazing
This person and I fight and argue but Make up,
This Person is
My Mom

We Don't Know Why?
She Sits down on her bed screaming on her insides,grinding her teeth pushing on this power out of her, while her hands tighthen and her face begains to turn Red ,She Screams. She wish's just somone could understand her with out explaining,She wishes people will get why she is,the way she is ,but yet again, no one knows her not even herself. There is nothing she can do so as she lays her head on her pillow with all these thought come rushing in her head such as: what happened today, whats going to happen tomorrow, why she is the way she is, and why can't things .change. Its' "Life".she tells herself and I don't get one thing about it. Then she stares into the mirror and pulls her hair up as tears come runing down her face.She again askes "why me" with this saddness in her voice. Next thing you know her alarm is goinq off to get up for school.Not wanting to get up she does anyway with this hope everything will be fine. She puts her things together, not caring what she looks like ,walking outside catches the bus. Watching everything that's going on in the outside world, wishing she could be apart,but not knowing why she stays to herself.She returns to school as if nothing is wronge ,which in her head nothing is right,She hates when people go on and on asking her whats wronge., She hates ,where the anger within comes from ,she doesn't know people so she cant tell you,as she walks the halls class to class She begins to think about other things other than school, . The bell rings and schools' over she get on the bus sits close to the window and watchs every car that goes by, leaveing in mind she still doesnt' know why,so she leaves saying "Goodbye" with a fake smile.

Raps

Name: Sarah Grade: 10

Well it's only common sense that you all wanna be me,
the definition of a shawty, you'd know if you see me
& I could spit the greatest verse that you've heard on a hater,
But ima keep it toned down and still I be greater,

Cuz I can say it, and not spray it,
so sit back, appreciate it
while you got it, better take it,
next time you ain't gonna make it

Took my back and stuck a knife in,
Pulled it out and washed it for em'
Gave it back after the crime &,
wished him better luck for next time.

:)
