A Mother’s Life Iradian Verdin, 15
If you cry or yell, I’ll be there. If you want a friend to stay until the end, I got you. Craving a slice or two, Don’t worry, I’ll buy it for you. A walk in the park or a late movie, I’ll be there in the quickness. When it comes to you, I’ll put you first! My pride and joy, you’re my first son born. You’re my life! You have much to learn, But your daddy and I will show you. Watching you grow will make me smile, You’re my little boy. Alexander Angelo, Your name is so cute, I love you. March 12, 2015 is the due date But I told you’ll be here sooner! I wonder what you look like, What smile you’ll have. What colored eyes? I wonder! You’re mine and your dad’s baby. If you need me, I’ll be there for you.

That One Boy Ashley Pelletier, 17
He was that kid who sat in the back of the classroom Quiet as can be Never caused problems in class Outside of the classroom he was a terror He lit trash cans on fire Threatened a whole student body Got mad over a cigarette Was expelled for lighting a bush on fire When he was really trying to put it out He never went back to school He lives his life struggling Says he’s stupid for not graduating He will get his GED when ready Knows to get his shit together if he wants to go anywhere in life His girlfriend is counting on him
