I love you
Even when you make me second guess my worth
Falling in a field of luscious flowers drifting through the wind
As i get lost within my reflective thoughts
Questioning why i even try
I love you
Even when your so called “Love” bombards my mind for an abundance of time
As i'm falling in a dark hole, but coming out the other side I'm..
Falling in a field of luscious flowers drifting through the wind
Through the storms
& the never ending rain, in the deepest parts of a forest
I love you
Time after time
I fall and i get back up next thing i know im
Falling in a field of luscious flowers drifting through the wind
Waiting to see if you would come again
I know they say love is a big word but through the good & bad i say time and time again
I love you
Falling in a field of luscious flowers drifting through the wind

During the chaos,during the world ablaze
The apocalypse dawns,the tempest unbound
In darkness,our minds wander. Will these be our final days?
The blue sky,now a fiery haze
Cities crumble,reduced to the ground
During the chaos, during the world ablaze
Hope lost,as fear begins to raise
Humanities fate ruined,in shambles
In darkness,our minds wander will these be our final days
The clock ticks on,is this a phase?
Warnings echoed and ignored
During the chaos,during the world ablaze
Lost in the storm,trapped within it’s maze
Questions unanswered,whispers echo
In darkness our minds wander. Will these be our final days?
Yet from ashes, ignorance still displayed
This could have all been avoided
During the chaos,during the world ablaze
In darkness our minds wander. Will these be our final days?
Villanelle, Sam Leibowitz
In little homes, there is Christmas embrace
Families gather, hearts filled with delight
Christmas magic shines in every place
The scent of cookies with their gingerbread base
Gifts wrapped, shining bright
In little homes, there is Christmas embrace
Family laughter, full of grace
The happiness couldn’t even be disrupted with i fight
Christmas magic shines in every place
Carols being sung with smiles on everyone's face
Spreading love and cheer, what a sight
In little homes, there is Christmas embrace
Through twinkling lights, a gentle trace
With hope and kindness shining so bright
Christmas magic shines in every place
As snowflakes fall, a peaceful embrace
Bringing joy and warmth, like a guiding light
In little homes, there is Christmas embrace
Christmas magic shines in every place
My Dream
I dreamt a dream last night.
It had caused me to awaken.
In my dream book, I write.
Some dreams are about life.
About a love lost and broken.
A dream I dreamt last night.
I had a heartache and strife.
The dream I felt is now taken.
To my dream book I write.
Some dreams are very light.
Good dreams come only now and then.
Most dreams I dream at night.
I wish to not highlight.
They leave me sad and crestfallen.
In my dream book, I write.
How dreams will come tonight.
Until I have reawaken.
I dreamt a dream last night.
In my dream book, I write.

Goodbye Love
Goodbye Love
I wish you the best of life
Farewell Love
Love between us never worked
We may not be perfect
Goodbye Love
May you know how much I loved you
It meant nothing to you?
Farewell Love
You never loved
Hatred came between us
Goodbye Love
Wasn’t love for eternity?
We were never meant for us
Farewell Love
May you move on from us
There’s no more us from now
Goodbye Love
Farewell Love
Susana Chaj Sanchez
Farewell
May you never come back
There’s nothing for us
Everything is over
Life without you is like closing a door
There is no more us
I wish you the best of luck with her
Don’t know what you found in her
You were my fire
And now I’m ice once again
What happened to our future together?
You left me speechless with your expressions and thoughts
Now silence hits me hard like a rock
I’m once again the girl who goes back to her imagination
The girl who thinks if love was true
Does True Love exist?
Is there such a thing as love now?
There is no such thing as LOVE anymore
No longer a word in this universe

A tale of two true loves
In a stargazing moonlight, heart entwine,
Loves rhythm, a melody divine.
Two people, two loves, as one of a kind
Through arguments and problems,
Its love journey for them to become one
In a stargazing moonlight, heart entwine
May their cuddles and kisses help,
For their journey as one has just begun
Two people, two loves, as one of a kind
With every sunrise, a promise anew,
Loves canvas painted in hues trues.
In a stargazing moonlight, heart entwine
As whispers soft as petals fall,
Two souls, an eternal call
Two people, two loves, as one of a kind
May ones problems become both,
Love is a masterpiece and so as a timeless grace
In a stargazing moonlight, heart entwine
Two people, two loves, as one of a kind.

Why can’t I be angry too
You say “Its Different” you say “Its Fair”
If its truly fair, then let me be angry just as you
We’ve gone to war because of you
Im human being too, so it’s only fair
Why can’t I be angry too
You can yell, punch, kick, do anything, people wouldn’t bat an eye
But if I did everything you did, everyone including you throw me away
If its truly fair, than let me be angry just as you
Why is my anger not allowed to burn for 5 seconds, its not worse than yours
Just let it simmer, boil, and burn out please
Why can’t I be angry too
Everytime I’m angry, I get looked at funny, even though I’ve done less than
You’ve hurt my feelings and burn others
If its truly fair, then let me be angry too
You act like a child when you get upset
If Im told to grow up then you should too
Why can’t I be angry too
If I can’t be angry than neither can you

Bench pressing is the best lift
Its all I wanna do all day
Being able to do it is its own gift
It makes me feel like I'm on a perfect drift
But I do hate having to pay
Bench pressing is the best lift
After benching I would do a little bit of a shift
Though sometimes I just wanna lay
Being able to do it is its own gift
Right before I bench I am always adrift
And when its chest day I always make sure there's no on in my way
Bench pressing is the best lift
As I leave it happens to be that my favorite worker is ending his shift
But I can't forget to see how much I weigh
Bench pressing is the best lift
Being able to do it is its own gift

I don't like school.
I go without joy.
So boring I might drool.
School makes learning unfairly cruel.
Education the governments ploy
I don't like school
A pencil symbol turned from freedom into a tool.
Start from just a boy
Letters in the alphabet labeling people a fool
Grades a weapon where teachers rule.
Our brains a place to toy
I don't like school.
Learning should not be stressful
Trapping the min forcing it to enjoy
Fighting between students and work a duel
School is boring and unrestful
The mind school can destroy
I don't like school
So boring I might drool.

I have a game tonight
None of my friends are interested in going, there too busy
But my brother will be there alright
I have so much on my mind
No one feels like listening
But my brother will help me understand
When I’m hungry which is all the time
My close friends already ate
But my brother ate with me and it’s was also fine
I wanna play a game on the Xbox
My friends don’t wanna play
But my brother will always
I wanna go play basketball
My friends don’t really have time
But me and my brother will always play, through the ball off the wall
I wanna watch the sunrise
my friends are sleep
But my brother will come and take the time
And we will have an great time

I wake up out of my slumber and all i feel is hunger
You might be on top but i’m a shark i come from under
Shining bright like lightning blazing through the thunder
Like a phoenix I will always rise
Everytime i step into the gym you can see the ambition in my eyes
I wake up out of my slumber and all i feel is hunger
I’m struggling to keep the dream alive but through it all i have
So many thoughts running through my mind i feel like a pig stuck in a sty
Shining bright like lightning blazing through the thunder
Sometimes at night I can’t go to sleep so i get on my knees pray to god and weep
When I’m in the ring I’m a beast but outside the ring I’m as nice as a sheep
I wake up out of my slumber and all i feel is hunger
Float like a butterfly sting like a bee
I went through a long and hard journey it turned me into a beast
Shining bright like lightning blazing through the thunder
I wake up out of my slumber and all i feel is hunger
