2. Sir Alvin Lee!
Alvin is really super
cool
He swims inside a
super pool
Until one day
When he floated
away
And woke up in a
Cuban school
3. Untold Stories
She can’t be afraid to hit a high note
He can’t be afraid of getting up after he falls
Forgetting what to do shouldn’t be the hard part
It’s up to me to get started after all
She can’t stay underwater even if she messes up
We all make mistakes no matter how small
He probably won’t get it right the first shot
But if he doesn’t start trying, he never will at all.
Her name is Susan and she’s been living a lie
This is her first wedding but she really wants to try
I’m going to knock their socks off when I show them how high I
can fly
Hey kiddo, I know this sounds cheesy but take my hand and
teach me
How to gaze into the midnight sky.
Unless you’d rather be blind…
Speaking of which, where were Pacman’s eyes?
Hey kiddo, keep me in mind because it’s always the quiet ones
who are full of surprises.
I’m ready to be unforgettable.
4. Admit it:
We all have insecurities no matter what they may be
I worry where my future lies and can’t confess when I’m in
need
You’ve got insecurities too so go to sleep tonight
And dream of a picture perfect world and a picture perfect
life
I’m not saying I don’t like who I am, because I do
I’m only saying sometimes I’d like being someone else too
And if, for any reason you wanted to, you could
Turn yourself around and transform everything inside of you.
There comes a time when the question must be asked, and it
should:
Would you change who you are if you could?
5. Desperation
Looking wearily into the sun
Pondering questions left by some
I ask myself why all is lost
For all I’ve said what will it cost?
I watch the light begin to fade
Tonight is it, all debts are paid
It’s easier to die when you know you’ve
lived
We can’t leave yet until we forgive.
6. Suburban Perfection
Fishing for answers in the lake of
dreams
Looking for a way to silence the
screams
Of the yellow and black trash can
Full of wonder but lost on a certain
unappreciative young man
They say the apple doesn’t fall far
from the tree
But then why doesn’t Rick look like
his family?
Sugar, spice and everything nice
I don’t think the simple life will suffice
for
Someone who wants so much more
in life
Than lonely nights alone making
rice.
7. Ode to Nature
Nature is really swell
I love that sweet pine
smell
Rivers move super fast
Camping is such a blast
Hanging with reindeer
Under stars I lay here
Viewing breath taking
sights
Nature makes my heart
take flight
8. Ethnic Groups
Oh, Ninja Turtles,
Feels like I’m jumping hurdles when we’re flipping gerbils.
A poem is more than just flying herds of rhyming words,
It’s about knowing your feelings right when they occur.
I’m going to hit you so fast and leave a stick in your back
When you listen to that and I’m referring to this
It’s ludicrous to eat too much tuna fish.
So, Pope Benedict the 16th, I scope derelicts who bring beef.
So, don’t push me cause’ I know heavy weights who fix
teeth.
Dear Brittney Spears fell down the rickety stairs when she
sang me cheers
And fed him beers.
Dear Mr. Obama,
I’m not your mama so please stop the drama
Because I won’t make you any taco lasagna so do me a fa-
vor and don’t expect a llama.
