Imagination Roams Wild Read online

sea of people

  Such a handsome face

  Ever since I look every where

  But I cannot find you

  You started a fire in my heart that day

  I dream of you all the time

  I see different faces everyday

  And yet I cannot find yours

  I try to stop

  To find someone else

  But no one else

  Can ever compare to you

  A fire beats inside me

  Refuses to go away

  I will not stop

  Until I find you

  Relationship Recipe

  One boy

  One girl

  Add a romantic setting

  Maybe play a slow song

  A girl looking for love

  A guy falling head over heels

  Put them in the same room

  Have their eyes meet

  Push them together for a dance

  That is how you create a relationship

  Old Love

  An elderly couple

  Holds hands

  As they walk in the park

  They have endured many things in their life

  Going to their daughters wedding

  Watching their only child graduate from college

  Getting misty eyed as she leaves for college

  Smiling as she graduates from high school

  Getting up at three in the morning to hush her

  Giving birth to a baby girl

  Getting married

  Finding each other years later

  Breaking up and walking away

  Meeting for the first time

  Love is old as time

  It never fades

  Never dies

  Love lasts through your life into death

  Upside Down

  Walking and talking

  Easy for some

  Watching as everything

  Turns upside down

  Cars driving in the sky

  Clouds floating on the ground

  Grabbing a star

  And avoiding the glaring sun

  Everyone walks by

  Not noticing what I see

  Coffee spilling out of cups into the sky

  Oh my it seems

  The world has taken the day off

  And went upside down

  Oh look at the creepy clown

  Seems as if my nightmares

  Have come to play

  Oh boy what a day

  Untied Shoes & Bubble Gum

  Mismatched socks tinted green

  A white dress with a ketchup stain

  Shoes left untied

  Running out the door

  Backpack half unzipped

  Papers flying everywhere

  No time to stop

  No time to wait

  I must hurry, hurry

  Or I'll be late

  Chomping on a piece of bubble gum

  Blowing a huge bubble

  POP!

  All over my face and hair

  Scrapping it off

  The sheepish look on my face

  As you cut my hair

  Forever

  Three friends sit on a bench near the lake

  They kick pebbles and tell jokes

  Laugh and smile

  Lock pinkies and make a promise

  They'll never stab each other in the back

  Stick together through whatever

  And be friends forever

  A promise that can't promise they'll keep

  Fast forward a few years later

  Everything's changed

  Two stick together while the other breaks away

  Finding two new friends to hang out with

  They try to make it work

  But it's useless

  Skip ahead a year

  The two friends try to keep up with each others lives

  But soon they forget

  And the remaining girl wonders where the other is now

  Does she still live in the same house?

  Or did she move?

  She her self longs to know why everything had to change

  Why?

  Superficial

  Walking around

  Staring down at everyone else

  Like your the queen

  And this is your world

  You act like you own everyone and everything

  You wear the latest trends

  Look like a barbie doll

  Minus the convertible

  Everything about you is plastic

  No concept of money

  Charging credit cards left and right

  Shopping bags piled on your arms

  Master card slapped down

  Bill tossed aside

  Makeup slathered on

  Sushi with friends

  Obsessing over $500 dollar boots

  One day that money's going to run out

  Left Behind

  I was promised the moon & stars

  Everything under the sun

  Instead I got hurried goodbye

  And no explanation as to why

  You left me behind

  As the day pass by

  I stare out the window

  And wonder what changed

  The seasons blend into one another

  The holidays come and go

  I refuse to let my emotions show

  I grab the red jacket you left

  And head down the road

  Where I go

  Is unknown

  Just One Bite

  A delicious juicy red apple

  Crunchy and sweet

  What a treat

  How you are going to sink your teeth into one

  A mysterious lady

  Comes by with what you're looking for

  Little do you know

  That before she came by

  She poisoned this apple

  Waiting for a fool like you

  You happily give her a few dollars for the apple

  Sinking your teeth in

  Crunching down

  And swallowing one bite

  Ready for more

  But the poison is quick

  And you now lie on the floor

  Apple in hand and lifeless

  All it took was one bite

  Friendship Is

  Friendship is...

  Making someone laugh so hard milk come out their nose

  Being funny till you make your friend pee their pants as a school bus passes by

  Scaring each other awake

  Staying up until three being silly

  Skipping down the sidewalk

  Drawing chalk pictures on the driveway

  Going to lame school events

  Walking home afterwords

  Making silly faces for the camera

  Taking a million pictures

  Talking to each other in between classes

  Watching Halloween and then going outside

  Saying Happy Birthday

  Going trick-or-treating even though you're too old

  Smiling even on your worst day

  Off The Deep End

  Staring at the water

  Seeing the sad, pained face

  Covered by a mask of happiness

  Tricking others into thinking you're fine

  Repeating lie after lie

  Struggling to get a good grip

  To stay sane

  But your eyes don't tell lies

  They show the pain and bitterness that has taken place in your heart

  You never used to be like this

  But they targeted you

  Tormented you

  Day after day

  Breaking you down

  As they sat high up on pedestals

  Laughing as you cry out for help

  You beg them to stop

  But they refuse

  A cruel look in their eyes

  You are not the first

>   And will not be the last

  There will be others

  You go to that bridge day after

  day

  Contemplating if anyone would notice

  They have made you think this way

  Again you come to this bridge

  Today is different

  You have left a note for your family

  Telling them you're sorry but it hurts to much

  You want to silence the pain

  You get a running start

  Jumping into the water as they arrive

  Screaming your name

  Begging you to please stop

  But you're already sinking

  The pain is still coursing through your veins

  Only muted by the water

  Coldness surrounds you

  Invites you to come with it

  Blackness invades your vision

  Telling seductive lies

  Sirens pierce the air

  As everything starts slipping away

  You realize what a lie it all was

  Jumping of the deep end will not help

  It only hurts more

  You struggle to swim up for air

  But you can't breath

  And everything is blurry

  Slipping away

  Feeling someone grip your arm

  Pulling you away

  Saving you from your own grave

  Gasping for air as your family crowds around you

  Warmth invites you in

  Telling the truth

  Things will get better

  Curious Finds Down At The Beach

  Today when I went down to the beach

  I found some peculiar things

  A penny at the boardwalk

  A doll half-buried with specs of sand caught in between the faux eyelashes

  A bucket and shovel

  A lollipop stuck to a surfboard

  A pale arm sticking up from the sand

  Broken glasses

  Cereal box floating in the water

  Inner tube stuck on someones head

  Oh the things I saw at the beach

  Quite strange actually

  Cherry's & Limes

  Cherries round and red

  Sweet and juicy

  Stain your lips red

  Limes green and hard

  Slice opened to a smooth inside

  Tangy and a hint of sour

  Combined together

  For a peculiar taste

  Sweet and tangy

  Some might make faces

  Before you shy away

  Come and try some

  Cherries and limes

  Love Songs Don't Help

  All those songs

  The singer wails on and on

  Talking about how much they hate someone

  Miss someone

  Love someone

  But do they not see?

  That the person they're singing to

  Probably does not care

  These songs do not help others

  Get over heartbreak

  A love song is just a song

  That cannot sum up ones pain

  So put the records away

  And go dance in the rain

  Ideas

  All it takes

  Is a spark

  To get an idea

  For a book

  A poem

  Maybe a T.V. show

  Or a song

  Just use your imagination

  That's what its there for

  Let the ideas flow to the paper

  And watch as they come alive

  My Utopia

  My utopia

  Is when I have my nose in a book

  My head in the clouds

  Gazing at stars

  Or just writing a poem

  Nothing fancy

  Nothing to plain

  I could be fending off monsters and I would be happy

  I would feel out of place at a fancy party

  My writing is all I need

  My imagination is my utopia

  Why Do I Write

  A little girl

  In the fourth grade

  Bored, nothing to do

  Devouring book after book

  Reading at a 12th grade level

  Picks up a pen and paper

  Waiting for an idea to pop into her head

  Fast-forward five years

  In the ninth grade

  Finishing up homework

  Discovering a writing website

  Writing story's

  Absent from the site for months

  Skip ahead to February 2011

  Joining Figment

  Ideas flowing

  Writing almost everyday

  On to the summer

  Decides to write a book

  Putting pencil to paper

  Words flowing onto the page

  Ideas swirling in the air

  Characters coming to life

  Places shimmering in the air

  This girl has discovered her true talent

  This girl is me

  And imagination is my greatest asset

  I write because I want to

  For me

  Because my imagination can roam free when I write

  Because I can create a doorway for readers

  Allow them to step into someone else's life for a few hours

  Music Is My Language

  A song can speak

  When words fail

  Songs hold meaning

  They can cheer you up

  Put you in a great mood

  Make you feel good

  You can sing along

  Dance to the beat

  And sway on your feet

  Music is the simplest way to communicate

  It doesn't insult me

  Music is my language

  Sing Me To Sleep

  All tucked in for the night

  Will you please sing me a lullaby?

  Anyone will do

  But I beg you please

  Sing to me before

  I drift asleep

  The lyrics caress my cheek

  Wrap around me as I sleep

  And whisper goodnight

  You are never too old for a lullaby

  Over The Bridge

  Over the bridge I go

  Where I'm bound

  I do not know

  Maybe to the lake

  Or the gas station

  A park

  The library

  A store

  Or even better

  Maybe I'll visit the imaginary land of Narnia

  It's been a while since I was last there

  Over the bridge I go

  Where I'm bound

  I do not know

  I'll take my imagination along with me

  Reflections

  I can see my reflection

  When I look in a mirror

  A puddle of water

  I can also see others when they pass by me

  A range of emotions

  Some sad

  Others happy

  Even a few that are mad

  Sometimes

  I wonder why we see reflections

  All it is a image of our face

  Reflections are a wonder

  Don't Forget Me

  You've said before

  You would leave

  But you never did

  And I never believed

  But one day

  I woke up

  And realized

  You weren't there

  I knew in case this day

  Ever came

  That I would leave

  You with something to remember me by

  In your jacket pocket

  You will find

  A mix-tape titled

  Don't Forget Me...

  Masquerade

  I sat ideally by

  As I watched

/>   As you moved through the room

  Graceful on your feet

  You moved from person to person

  Telling lies

  We locked eyes

  And you moved closer to me after you passed each person

  This is your masquerade

  Trying to get money from people

  Making everyone fall for you

  But not me

  For I am smarter

  Quicker than you

  I get up and disappear in the crowd

  Balloons

  Buy some balloons

  And I'll tie them to my wrist

  And let them carry me away

  As I float through the sky

  I will observe the clouds passing by

  One is shaped like a flower

  Another a leaf

  I'll look below

  And watch as the people below

  Point at me

  Wondering why I would choose to fly

  This way

  But I don't mind

  It's actually quite fun

  Spilled

  Painting my nails

  When the phone rings

  Ignoring it

  While I continue painting my nails

  The ringing stops

  Only to start again a few minutes later

  My nails are drying now

  And In a hurry to get the phone

  I knock over the nail polish

  When I come back there is a purple heart

  Of nail polish on the table

  So I take a picture

  And clean the mess up

  Doodles

  Bored out of my mind

  Nothing to do

  Besides stare at this wall

  I grab a notebook & pencil

  And flip it open to a blank page

  Staring at the page

  Tapping it quietly with my pencil

  Drawing smiley faces

  Doodling stick people

  Drawing flowers

  And rainbows

  The boredom has passed

  As has the time

  Coloring

  Draw a picture

  Color it in

  With me I use different colors

  Never one for the entire picture

  An array of colors

  Purple

  Pink

  Blue

  Even green

  Maybe a bit of orange

  Or a dash of yellow

  Any color will do really

  Make the flower turquoise

  And the heart green

  Ghost Of Me

  As the days pass by

  And the time ticks by

  I slowly begin to fade

  Until there is nothing left

  But a ghost of me

  I roam around

  Passing people on the street

  Walking through walls

  As I restlessly wander the earth

  Waiting for eternal sleep

  That has yet to come

  Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall

  Goodbye summer

  And your hot sunny days

  Reaching 100 degrees

  Raining occasionally

  Windy on some days

  No school

  Just time to relax

  But I will see you again

  Hello fall

  And your windy days

  Accompanied with a chill in the air

  The start of school again

  Temperatures dropping

  Not sandal weather anymore

  Curling up in a blanket

  As you lead us into winter

  Flying

  The day drags on

  Boring and mundane

  Life colored a simple black and white

  As the clock strikes 2:00 am

  I will close my eyes

  And enter a dream land

  Filled with an array of colors

  Where I can fly through the sky

  Free from my everyday life

  Fighting dragons

  Painting the sky

  And flying from dream to dream

  Until I wake up again

  Touching The Sky

  I rush up the playground

  To the swings

  A smile spreading across my face

  My mother pushing me back and forth

  Laughing as I get higher in the sky

  Reaching one hand out

  Trying to touch the sky

  But falling back

  Again and again I try

  And come a little bit closer

  To touching the sky

  Leaving with a satisfied smile on my face

  Because one day I will

  Touch the sky

  Hope

  Hope has many different forms

  It comes as a prayer

  A person

  A thought

  A wish

  A answer

  A feeling

  A name

  From day to day

  Month to month

  Year to year

  People hope for their dreams to come true

  Their prayers to be answered

  For a loved one to get well

  To see someone once more

  Hope fills the worlds

  It is something that we all cling to

  Something we all want and need

  Hope is everywhere

  Floating Away

  I watch from the ground

  In a sea of people

  As a balloon

  Floats through the air

  To the sky

  Higher and higher

  Wondering if that could be me one day

  Floating away

  The wind blows the balloon in a new path

  It gets caught in a tree

  I sigh

  Hoping that one day

  If I am ever stuck

  While floating away

  I manage to continue on

  Walking away

  Without seeing if the balloon is back to floating

  Run

  Run

  Run fast and far

  Just to run

  Just for fun

  Run in sneakers

  Because you rarely see people run in heels

  Run for any reason

  Run for sport

  Run in the rain

  I do not care why you run

  Just run

  The Music

  The music takes me away

  To different places

  Dances with me

  Pulls me into day dreams

  Makes me happy

  Lulls me to sleep

  The music

  Gives me a reason to dance

  I wake up everyday

  Looking forward to the music

  That flows from my iPod touch through my earphones into my ears

  The music is magical and wonderful

  The Feeling Of Sunshine

  The heat beats down on me

  Some days it makes beads of sweat drip down my brow

  Other days I feel its warmth radiate through me

  Tanning me

  Rare in the winter

  But still there

  Fighting the cold air

  To keep me warm

  Like a blanket wrapped around me

  To me this is the feeling of sunshine

  Finding Happiness

  I spent so long

  Looking for you

  Hoping praying that my dreams would come true

  For so long I was sad

  The days dragged on blurring into one

  But then you came along

  And the sun was brighter

  The grass greener

  I got butterflies thinking about you

  I'm falling hard

  Dying for you to see

  But you look at her the way that I look at you

  And my happiness wave
rs

  The butterflies disappear

  And I pray you will see

  That it should be you & me

  One Day At A Time

  Days pass

  And people change

  As the time ticks away

  I will slowly begin to fade

  So I will take this life

  One day at a time

  Not too fast

  Not too slow

  Instead one day at a time

  Like when your a baby

  Learning to walk

  Taking one step at a time

  Trying to keep your balance

  This is how I will live my life

  One day at a time

  With A Boom

  And sit on the grass

  Watching the fireworks

  So many different colors

  Purple, green, red, blue, yellow, white

  Exploding in the sky

  Taking pictures

  Wearing glo sticks

  Having fun

  On the 4th of July

  And the final round of fireworks

  Are set off with a boom

  Letting Go

  If you love something

  You have to let it go

  But sometimes that's not so easy

  So as I leave

  Always remember

  That if you listen closely

  You'll hear my whispers in the wind

  You'll see me in your
