It’s the first day of secondary;
New school, new beginnings;
My mum shouts me for breakfast, I’ll be there in a minute.
I’m in a rush, don’t want to be late for the bus;
But I have to give my hair a brush.
My anxiety kicks in as I walk down the halls;
All I’m trying to think is not to fall.
Everyone is watching me;
Why can’t they just let me be?
One one summer’s evening,
Walking along the beach,
Watching seagulls just out of reach,
The soft sand in between my toes,
A gentle breeze blowing me side to side,
The sea crashing behind me so wide,
The brightness of the sun,
Clouds fading in the darkness,
The sun setting on the sea,
All by myself with no one but me.
What is this before me?
Ever so colourful and bright,
And yet dark as night?
To my left, it starts to shimmer
As a swan floats through a river.
What is this illusion, that causes a feeling to cry?
Is it actually a projection inside of my eye?
The colours spin, the lake stops to shimmer,
Now a feeling so cold I start to shiver.
A thousand knives
To snatch a thousand lives,
Is this a dream or a nightmare?
And then I saw
In shock and awe
What the world for many was like.
The feeling of desperation
Mixed with my burning bright imagination
Restored my previous view once more,
And everything was colourful and bright
And the swan drifted down the river.
But as I looked back into the dark holes
Of the pleading, dying souls
I decided to let them free.
I gave them a part of my eye,
My colourful, bright imagination
And the dream of being like a swan swimming down a river.
With one eye lost
I knew the cost
For I returned the poor victims their vision.
As seagulls glide through the sky,
Bubbles of waves crash and bash,
As coldness echoes through the frosted air,
Bitterness steams away at windows
As the world settles down for its winter sleep
The suffragettes vision was to give girls some slack,
Not only have they succeeded but are now icons from the past ,
Women’s empowerment should be important to you,
So people can know we are not to be treated like animals in a zoo,
We are strong and powerful the way we are,
No one should be changed to become things they aren’t,
We cannot be held servants to any males with you,
As we should all be treated fairly to do,
We should continue the message as things still are not equal,
And then we rewrite the stars to our generation be the sequel,
Women were made for a reason.
As I walked though the door
there was students galore,
I was amazed and in awe,
my lessons were not a bore,
there was a lot to explore,
though each door.
I am a listener of the waves,
I hear every fish which swims in the current.
I think I am invisible.
Nobody sees me.
Not really.
The waters flow through and then go on,
But I’m still listening.
I am the ear of the predator,
Stalking its prey silently,
Conscious of every noise.
I imagine life in the hustle and bustle of the city.
It’s so quiet here.
I am the first to hear the flick of a shark’s tail,
Before it traps its victim.
The first to hear the horn of the ships from the outside world.
I look up at the ocean liner.
So big.
So loud.
Maybe I do belong here.
In the night, the moon shines bright,
Lighting up the midnight sky.
It shines through my window all night long,
And goes to bed with my morning song.
I’m Albert Einstein don’t you know;
I was born 140 years ago.
I had a theory that was called relativity;
But don’t forget my friend Isaac, who got hit under an apple tree.
I got a Nobel prize at the age of 42;
All thanks to my amazing 160 IQ.
I was born in Ulm, that’s in Germany;
But I went to study at Zurich University.
I’m also famous for my wild and crazy hairdo;
And I was a vegetarian, so I didn’t eat beef stew!
I’m Albert Einstein don’t you know;
And I was born 140 years ago.
What is blue? A perfect blue sky
Cradling the Earth with it’s warm hands.
The vastness of the ocean creeping into the land,
Gently moving to the heavens – gently.
The calming sense of soft snow falling into water,
The majestic glaciers melting and disappearing before our eyes.
As the bluebells bloom in the twilight,
Lighting up the night sky, reaching for a place,
A place in heaven and a place in life.
