A powerful surge came washing ashore
It's bending crest will return nevermore
It rises and falls in a dramatic clash
Which will never be seen; just a flash

The life flies away into the mist
Winter is here, the snow makes a fist
That covers everything in sight
With a burning cloud of white

Her beautiful life lasts no longer
She thought she was getting stronger
But the medication she received
Brought nothing that would relieve

The horrible display of thug mentality
Coems up through rising fatalities
The guns and knives so viciously tore
Through many lives in this secret
World War

A quiet kid whom very few knew
Built anger up inside and blew
The school away with fuming blasts
A hell to which himself he casts.

But for now, we can all rest assured
That our deaths will not soon be ushered
As our world passes by
Dont just sit there and cry,
For your life has not yet been obscured.
I think I wrote this in 7th grade. I remember my mom made me trim it down and add the last stanza because it was a scary poem. Even with the edits, my teacher still found it "very.....vivid" and grotesque. w/e, i enjoyed writing it, so i dont care if anyone else likes it.
Flashback
Taken from KL's old writings cabinet
The ONLY reason this is in here, is because someone liked it. a lot. i wrote it in fifth grade. When i graduated, i got my portfolio back. in it, i found a photocopied 8.5x11 paper with nothing but this poem on it. it was probably because of the last line. they found it to be surprisingly profound for a 5th grader? i dont know, but i was shocked that they'd keep it.....such lousy handwriting!
"the common house sparrow,
Darting here and there,
pulling worms out to feed their young.
with a jump and a flap,
their off, to a world we've yet to discover"
August one, eighty eight,
The one destined to deviate
Opened eyes to a brave new world
Kyle Sinclair stretched out unfurled.

Maybe almost five years later,
He's almost taken by a watery gator
Scrambling from a strange flash flood
Running from the rocks and mud
Hurtling towards him at alarming speeds
Fortunately, he succeeds

In the third year of education
He discovered the joy of procrastination
Spending time with a particular being
the first girl he actually enjoyed seeing.
Finding the word for the feeling - "crush"
He races his rivals in a dramatic rush.

Sadly only a year has passed,
Kyle must transition fast,
He finds himself in a brand new school,
Compared to the other...quite a jewel!
He spent five years at Clairbourn,
From there his character he adorned.

Gobbling up life like a voracious eater,
Kyle finds his love in the art of theater.
Being cast as leads in his first few plays
Made the actor that is there today
Continuing on with a heart full of script
Kyle only hopes that he will be missed

The most recognized major event of his life
Was the result of months full of strife.
He got accepted into his first-choice school
And there you find him acting like a fool.
Protruding through with plays and stories
Kyle looks back on his days of glories.
I'm actually not sure when i wrote this. probably sometime freshman year. noteable for its not-goodness, keep in mind that it was a homework assignment, and thus completed in a matter of minutes. looks like it was fun though. it was probably an auto-biographical assignment
This page typed with half of one hand, and some kind of massive screaming party going on a few houses down. such indecency. :-P

i dont feel like adding a background or text effects. deal with it.
