Trytta Smile by Godfrey O.

Kaustav S. Looking at thine people below.

You think of them so slow.

Will you darken.

Will you glow.

What color will you change.

When you go.

Will you become green with greed.

Malik C. “My lost�

She was the only one I come to for problems.

She was the only that knew what I want, and when I want things.

I wasn't there when she was sick I thought it was my fault when she was sick all I needed was a toothpick to eat to get her of my mind.

It wasn't working when she died hope I wasn't about to cry.

She only died for my life then went to heaven to get a new life with god. R.I.P. Daphne.
