My Anxiety Attack – Abbiejayne Cristoforo 2019
Heart fluttering faster than a hummingbird’s wings
Mind racing like a freight train
Hands that sweat hot and cold
And the air just won’t flow
My body tremors and my legs are weak
My mouth is too dry to swallow
The lump in my throat feels like a rock
Fear washes over me
I am desperate to make this stop
Why does this happen to me?
Help - Shayla Young 2018
Pain of suffering strikes lika a bolt of lightning
and people wonder if they would live or die.
But in order to sustain peace and freedom it must all start with a cry.
A cry for help for the lost souls we miss
for a life is so short, to cut it off shorter at a young age calls for a cry of despair
A cry for parents who are gone, for those who march at the beat of a war drum to those who are gone forever
A cry for our country. Not knowing if we will ever be at peace with each other
It only takes one tragedy to realize we need help
We live in a world where if we cry, we are weak at command
But all we need to turn a battlefield to a peacemaking world is a helping hand
This poem is dedicated to every tear that
was shed for the sake
of this world
you are not alone
The Sun - Madison O'Connell 2019
She tiptoes slowly into the sky,
Her gleaming face greets us every morning,
A shining smile shown big,
She wraps us in her warm hugs
as her rays dance through the sky.
She peeks out from behind the clouds
as if playing hide-and-seek.
She creeps back to rest
as the day comes to an end,
Preparing to start in the morning
all over again
Bringing joy to us every day
She is nature's alarm clock
Everyone waits to see each day.
