”Bye Mom, Bye Ryan” I said as I was about to close the door. Just before I did my mom came in front. ”Have a nice day sweetie” she said and pecked my cheek. ”Thanks mum” I said but then Ryan came. ” Have fun and if any boy annoys you tell me ok” he said. ”Alright’ alright, bye” I said and walked on too the sidewalk. ”Jeez it’s my first day at a new school, it’s not like i’m going to college” I thought and then put my earphones in listening to The Fray one of my favorite bands. As I kept walking, I heard someone snicker. I shrugged it off and kept on walking. It happened again and I started to walk faster. I heard footsteps behind me so I took off running as fast as I could. I knew the way to the school and I could see it in the distance. When I entered the school, leaning on the wall and panting. I stepped into the main office to get my schedule. An old lady who seemed very up tight looked up and gave me a glare. ”Wow cranky much”‘ I thought. She put my name in the computer and printed out my schedule. I walked out and checked my first class French. I liked it but it was just too much work for me.  I sat down in the classroom and after a few minutes people started flooding in started to gasp and whisper. I was really getting fed up with all the whispering and was about to yell when suddenly a guy walked in. His hair was styled in a quiff and his hazel eyes went well with his tan skin. What made him look dangerous were his arm sleeve tattoos  and his all black outfit. He had a dark t-shirt and dark skinny jeans that hanged low on his hips. As he walked everyone made a path for him and remained so quiet you could hear a pin drop. He stalked over to me and I cowered in fear. ” Excuse me why are you in my seat” he said. ” Um excuse me I don’t think it has your name on it” I replied back. ” You better move right now or else- or else what, you’ll hit me. I dare you” I said as I stood up. He looked around knowing he was defeated. ” This isn’t over Sarah you will pay” he said and then took another seat in the back. This isn’t over Sarah, His voice ringing in my ears as I sat down. ” What have I gotten myself into” I whispered as the teacher came in..

Ninth Grade Sonnet: If Only

If only she knew how much we loved her

If she knew how much she was so adored

If only she knew how she was treasured

Why did she think she was so abhorred?

Her heart a very green secret garden

The walls of the garden were always high

She shined as bright as the luminous sun

But no one saw what she had tried to hide

Some saw the tears that she was holding in

But no one saw the bruises on her legs

If we saw the scars that were on her skin

How we would have pleaded and helped and begged

But she is in a very good place now

A place that had happiness, peace and vows

Sleep

The nightmares that consume my mind
Taking control as I close my eyes
I fear the night not knowing
Where it will take me
So I close my eyes tonight
Please come and fill my head with beautiful fantasies
Before i’m sucked in the nightmares
Driven by my memories

Running away but you always keep on chasing
Drowning but you always keep re-surfacing
Sleeping but you’re always in my dreams
And then I realize I can never run
You’re stuck in my head
Never wanting to be released
My mind screaming
That I have to let go
Irks me in such a way
And then I realize
I never want to let go

My brain bleached with the memories
Of us together
But then they disappear
And i’m glad they do

What Matters Anymore

The chant of the crowd
Black Lives Matter they say
On the other side
They chant All Lives Matter
The photographer catches it all
While I write in my little book
Record the little details
Waiting for something to change

I’m trying to fight this feeling
The tide pushes me in
I can’t hide the fact
And it’s driving me insane
I’m trying to fight this feeling
I’m craving you like you’re my last breath
It keeps me
Holding me down
Your waves overtake me
Keeps me confined in your mess
But I love it
And I drown anyway

2/9/17

I’ve been kept in your coffin
It entraps me and I cant breathe
Closes me in and i’m becoming restless
The coffin I come to find
Is you
And I don’t think I can survive
Anymore
