This One’s for You
You done so much in life.
You cared for everyone,
Loving them with heart and soul.
Your big heart was your crowning jewel
Bringing joy to those around you.
You showed me the stars
And taught me to be happy.
To me you were a friend,
And a brother as well.
You sacrificed the riches of money
For the riches of love and compassion.
Your life was full of meaning
With love and service you gave to others.
You made me laugh
Always full of jokes and fun.
You made a man out of me
Teaching me how to love
And to share love with others.
You were a mentor to me
As well as a teacher and an idol.
So when I think of you
I will remember this,
Because this one’s always for you.
This is for you Adam, I love you, man!

Poems
There once was a guy
That did nothing but lie
He always got in trouble
So he stayed lonely in a bubble
And he was sad for the rest of his life
There once was an elf
He always took his time on things
He only thought of himself
But he drank red bull and grew wings
So he flew away onto a little shelf
3 Haikus
Fire
Hot burning flaming
Scorching all over the world
Burns your life with hate

Death is when your loved ones must depart
Death is a sharp pain to the hard
Death is a feeling of permanent sadness and pain
Death is when your loved ones have forever gone away
Death is a call to heaven or hell
Death is a eternal mansion or cell
Death never will go away
Death you’ll find in your ways
Death is not to be scared death is to be engage.

Haikus
Wind whispers again
The name I loved long ago
Calling me to her
To be hers again
To keep the love I loved
I hold her again
The woman I loved
We will be meeting again
In the place we met
I need to go back
To the place I loved once ever
There she waits for me
I went to the sea
And yearned to be mine again
To be on my ship
This ship will never sink
It lies where none can touch it
It is the mountains
Anthony

Haikus
Snow mountaintops,
Bright by the light of the sun,
Melts to water drops.
The lonely wolf walks,
Far from his unpleasant past,
Howling at the moon.
Limerick
There once was a western cowboy,
Whose gun was replaced with a toy.
He was challenged to a duel,
By a fat drunken fool,
So now here lies poor old Roy.
The Dark Cave
Walls of rock, and a floor of sea. A dark hole of mystery lies in the rocks as a mouse hole is in a wall. Swarming around you is the rhythmic and peaceful sound of flowing water. Walking into the darkness, like a curious cat checking out a new place. Amazement and curiosity moves you forward, while looking back fills you with fright as the safety of light leaves with each step. The small but bright beam from the flashlight shows a small piece, like a clue gives a small amount of knowledge.

Life.
This is something that goes through my mind every second of every day. I have no way to tell when it is over. I have no way to tell when to quit. The thought of throwing the towel keeps racing in the back of my mind.
I have dream of a perfect life.
Where I make no mistakes. The thought of me in a dark room using the nasty things that cause me to be this way and then the last sound I hear is bang. Light out time for my dirt nap.

Love is a thinking pain.
Every time she comes around I feel the pain.
She is a problem worth thinking to solve.
I can’t help but to put my mind to it.
Love is all she makes me think about.
She came into my life and loved me.
Then her and me created the most wonderful
Thing in the world. That wonderful thing is little Jayvid Marcus Roberts. Then she made a mistake and we cannot be together. I know now that we were not to be together.

The happy relaxing place
This place has a nice view to it. It has a lot of environment around it, like rivers and cliffs, mountaintops.
It is a place where you can go by yourself or you and another person that you love and you can spend a real good long time with.
It’s a great looking place where you can’t get distracted, you can just go relax and have a real good time.
This secret place you go to it and you can go have a good time.
There’s just sometimes where you need to go and have some alone time, and just relax, this is the place to go the place I am talking about one of the best places to be.

2pac
In English class, we listened to Changes by 2pac. I really like that song because there is so much truth in the lyrics. We are all fighting the wrong war. Instead of battling each other, we need to battle poverty and hunger. I also like how he can tell his story, and say what he has to say in a way that flows and sounds good. I may not know a whole lot about 2pac, but jus by listening to this one song I know much more than I did before. It’s such a shame that he was killed. He had a lot of good things to say, a lot of wisdom in his words. He was right when he said, “mama didn’t raise no fool.” Personally I think we all need to take a step back from our crazy, hectic lives, and take a look at who we are, where we are, and what exactly is going on around us.

The Picture
If I were in the picture I would be thinking about nature, how beautiful and peaceful it is. I would explore the surrounding area to see what I could find that hasn’t been ruined by unnatural things, like humans.
If I could I would walk in the grass of the hill and stare into the water to see if I could see the bottom of the water, I would memorize the position of every rock, dip, and hill of the land- every flow direction, tiny tide, depth, and color of the water.
I would like to fall asleep to the sound of the still pond and the light breeze making little ripples in the pond.
One of the things I like more than anything is nature. To me, nature is beautiful, and I think there are very few things that can rival nature in beauty.
One of the things I wish I could do it to show everybody how beautiful nature really is without the mutilation of human nature.

Killing your inner devils
By austin
If it wasn’t for that one mind game played like a seizure
Then we wouldn’t be in this class.
We would be the teacher of not following every man who says he is a preacher
But who’s more or less a demonic creature.
Who will play mind games and beset you in the same chair in which he
Will try to defeat you .
It is up to you to to get in touch with your inner power to not sit down
And give up like a coward cause with the
Devil something that sounds sweet underneath is only sour.
So stand up , show him who should be the coward , fight back
And seize the hour!
Glorify and immortalize to what now is in reach to be your prize,
Savor the sound when our inner devil cries as he tries , tries ,tries to defeat you
And immobilize but he will only realize that no matter
How bad he wants it this is your prize you earned inside and ill
Be damned if anyone testifies , look into his eyes , don’t give in
And wipe his tears when he cries but make him
Feel the pain till he commits suicide .

What is life like?
Life in a desert was sandy
Life in caves was lonely
Life in ocean was salty
Life in stars was resplendent
Life in the car was modern
Life in the mountains was exhilarating
Life in sun was brilliant
Life in your life is my life
This poem is one of many about life, I like this poem because is mine. I think has a good message. It trying to say the life is in everywhere. We have to take care about our environment like we take care of ourselves.

Today is Friday once again. We have no school once again on Monday. Here goes another long weekend with out my sweet pea. I’ll be positive so I don’t get all depressed. I love David so much. He is my life. We have so much fun together. He makes me laugh all the time. He is a sweet fuzzy head. Tonight I might get a ouija board how ever you spell that. I’m so excited. I hope David has a good weekend too. I love listening to music and dancing. I also love taking pictures. I like to model in front of the camera. I want to be a model. I know I will sometime in my life. I’m pretty confident in myself. I’m quiting smoking. Lately I’ve been stressed out but about good things. Im excited to start cosmetology .

Marco’s Autobiography
My name is Marco. I’m 17 years old. I was born on September 27. I was born at Payson hospital. I’ve been in the U.S. since I was in kindergarten to the 6th grade.
When I was in the end of 9th grade, we moved back to the U.S. I’ve been here every since.
The first time I ever got in trouble with the law was because my ex-girlfriend ran away from home and came to my house. From then on things just went downhill. I began abusing alcohol, marihuana, cigarettes, etc. I got into a well known gang and began getting deeper into the system.
Ten months ago, I got caught and sent to Slate Canyon Youth Center. I was then sent to The Journey: Rising Phoenix the group home that helped see things at a different angle. Now I’ve been able to stay sober for about seven months and gang free for about six.
I live life with no regrets and try to make the best out of crappy situations. I believe that if you’re going to do something don’t do it if you’re going to regret it. Do it because that’s what you want. Learn what you can from every decision you make instead of dwelling on how it didn’t turn out your way. Be grateful for what you have. Take some time to really appreciate the things you have and how much it means to you. That is why dwelling on a crappy situation doesn’t get you anywhere but more negative. Be grateful for the things you do have and not pissed off for what you don’t have.

The band led zeppelin
This band looks like a great band that has a lot of enthusiasm.
There are a couple of lines in this song that I like and I am going to tell you
There’s still time to change the road: I like this line, because I think it is saying when you have messed up in your life then there is a road you can always take that is way better and it makes it so your not in trouble anymore.
Your head is humming and it won’t go: I like this one because I think it is saying that your mind is always thinking of something; it constantly has something in it.
You will never not think of something your mind will always be thinking in the mind.

Today is a great day because everyone is so exited for our three day weekend. We can do a lot of things probably some people go to the movies tonight or others just having fun in their homes, but I do not care because I have my mind on my birthday. Yes tomorrow is my birthday. I’m going to be 18 years old. Awesome HAHAHAHHAHA I can’t believe this I feel too fresh to be 18 years old. I don’t have a lot of experience.

I hope my Sister, my mom, my brother and my friends call me to say happy birthday Carlos. Could be nice from them but if this doesn’t happen I wouldn’t care cause I have to have fun on my birthday.

Revenge
Revenge is black
black for the secrecy used in it
Revenge sounds like silence
silence for the soundless murder
Revenge tastes like blood
blood after the knife slides between ribs
Revenge smells like fear
fear of the coming danger
Revenge feels like sorrow
sorrow for the betrayal it shows
Revenge is of anger
anger to be aimed
Anger
Anger is red
red for the burning
Anger sounds like blaring
blaring from the release
Anger tastes like pastry
pastry for the joy of it
Anger smells like fire
fire burning you inside-out
Anger feels like strength
strength of the wielder

Ambition
The desire to distinguish ones self from other people.
Ambition is satisfied when:
You have billionaire as a job title
To show the world you can do it
To build a dream car for the real world.
Searching for hope in others
Preparing for the unthinkable
Show the brilliance others couldn’t see
Show others why they’re alike.
View the world form the top
Discover a new world of opportunities
Open the doors, provide the opportunities
And who knew you could do it?
Only those who’s will it is to dream.

Freedom
By Adam
Freedom is a bird soaring through the sky.
Riding fast along an open road, wind blowing swiftly through your hair.
Taking a walk, after a spring rain shower.
Turning the key to a brand new sports car.
Hiking through the canyon, with the sounds of nature in your ears.
Baskin Robins with no price limit.
Spending a weekend in Moab, Utah.
An empty stomach at an all you can eat buffet.
Freedom is that moment when you truly feel alive.

Freedom
I always think of freedom no matter where I’m at in my life because I think everybody should have some freedom in there.
If you don’t have any freedom in your life then that is un-American. Everybody has to have freedom.
In all of the United States all people have to have some kind of freedom, and if they don’t then they are just going to have a horrible life everyday.
Say if your not in the system then you have all the freedom that you want, but if you are in the system like I am then you have some freedom while your in there just not as much as you will want or as much as if you were not in the system.

Freedom
Freedom is something, something you only get when you work.
Freedom is beautiful, beautifully leading the way to a new life.
Freedom is hated, hated for the power it gives.
Freedom is loved, loved for the peace it grants.
Freedom is tarnished, tarnished for the jealousy of it.
Freedom is relished, relished for the kindness it shows.
Freedom, for all it is, it is also nothing, nothing for if people have it to long they forget to love freedom,
Forget to see the beauty of it, forget how much it is hated,
Forget why it is tarnished, and forget to relish of freedom.
Freedom is not respected, but freedom respects others, others for the respect they give it.
