Star shine (Free verse)

By Andreas Oh how the stars shine at night Shine bright, shine bright How they shine in the dark sea of night Shine bright, shine bright There your light in the night My oh my look at their might Shine bright, shine bright May it never go dim not even a slight Shine forever with all your might Shine bright, shine bright

Life -- by Brianna Life is here life is there life is everywhere I think of life anywhere we think about sorrows and scars from the past we don’t enjoy life now we forget about the happy memories we had I wish I could go back before it all started but the thing I remember is the past stays in the past

Devouring Delight by Daleeyah

The droplets fall one by one.

Drip drop, drop drip.

To soon be absolutely gone.

The delight is here right now but, will soon be deceased.

The pleasure is now mine.

Because, I ate the ice cream.

Jaron - The King

The King - Limerick There once was a musical king, Who suddenly started to sing.

All the birds in the sky, all started to fly, More near that talented king.

Be Yourself - by Jazmine

You think I wanna be like you That's not even true boo!

I just wanna be myself .

Everybody wanna go left.

Trying to be thieves.

I mean it's so crazy. I don't even know So what I say is be yourself!

BLUEYOURMINE

The human mind is delicate Yet so complex.

Other intellects you may not get Some like birds soaring through the skies Others like machinery that goes round and round.

It makes the Intellect special, pathetic of me Not to tell you...

Darkness It gave me a sense of.

Awakeness.

It is the most evil that.

Fills and kills.

The moon and the sun.

The joy of light.

They try there best to.

Get rid of the freight.

It also is the sense of.

Peace and calm.

Anything can also go.

Wrong.

As I Embark my way through it.

It will never leave.

My Heart.

The Dark.

By Saad

Staring through my rearview -- Sariah Everyday I wonder if life is worthy We all win, we all lose there’s a matter of time before all of that stops Now I know the answer do dreams come true staring at the world through my rearview Everybody has complications and problems that’s what I see, we try to understand who we are and who we want to be

Lies you tell me lies you tell me you act like i didnt see so why lie & lie repeadly lies you tell me i guess you thought that i believed oh with all the lies i’ve received lies you tell me you really let me down but i’m not gonna frown because you’re the one going down karma always come back around.

Lies you tell me

Birds goin’ North - Taylor Fly high, Through the clouds.

To the north, You will find love.

Fly high, Never look back.

Abyss - Trevion

This abyss is bliss, I fall deep into the bottomless chasm to escape reality because its intangible and I don’t understand it's easy to comprehend but then again you lie awake at night questioning your existence. I can’t help it that i’m self centered, i'm willing to help others with their problems but for my own benefit. Can’t be trusted like a newlywed benedict, or someone who smokes a cigarette and claim they won't addict. Some people don’t want to die, but think about the morality of immortality if i were to side i’d pick neutrality because I don’t care what happens nothing matters.

Try to climb out this abyss but there are no ladders, the desolation of isolation is fascinating don’t bother meditating because when you’re in it's sights it pulls you into the abyss while you’re clenched in its mighty fist, you at first try to fight it but let it consume you, I insist.
