Happiness

Happiness is not the feeling of being unloved or unwanted.

Happiness is not letting people get in the way of a good mood or Happiness.

Happiness is not settling for less.

Happiness is like the fresh taste of chicken and waffles on a Sunday morning.

Happiness is like the feeling of a little gust of wind against your face as you’re sitting up on the beach.

Happiness is knowing your worth.

Happiness should always be used in only the right but never the wrong ways.

Be HAPPY because HAPPINESS is the only and best way to live. You can only truly be HAPPY if you want to because no one can do it for you but YOU!  

*REMEMBER* do it for you, and only you. No one but YOU!!

KEEP CALM AND BE HAPPY 

 

Community Poem

My home

My school

My own little world

 

The sky

Big trees

Stone houses

 

The world stretches further 

But I love my bubble

And my love 

Stretches farther further

Than words

 

Animals, plants

They are safe 

They are calm

They are beautiful

 

My mind can save the violence

My mind can save the world

Education, bravery, knowledge

Art, logic, creativity

Justice

 

Beauty

Sparkling hearts of sandstone and ruby

Emerald and gold

 

Light dancing across emotion

Changing the way we view life

The way we view the world 

 

The world might stretch

Until the small bubble bursts

But even in silence

There is still the music

Of love

 

Communities

Laughing and talking

Immersing ourselves into each other

Naturally echoing

Echoing, Echoing

I am never part

Of any community

Unless….

 

Someday,

we will all agree

That  we’re together

We will all agree

Someday

 

I want to be a better listener

I want to be a better friend

I want to change the world

And make a print of my hand 

In blood-red ink

On the world

 

I want to change communities for the better

I want to make them beautiful

 

My bubble expands 

The tips of my fingers

Graze the surface

Of nowhere

 

Life is breathed 

Through all sides

 

Love

Love

Love

 

A trusting home

Uniquely beautiful 

Depending on the little lights

Shining

Sparkling Dancing

Within

 

Reunited

When I was a baby, I had a dad. But my mom and dad broke up as I was growing up. I did not know who my dad was. I heard that he was smart and he loved me. He took care of me and protected me from harm. He saved everyone in Paris, because he was a superhero. But, because he was a superhero, he had to leave in order to protect me. 

One day my mom was talking to me about my dad. She told me that he was like a superhero. She also told me what stores he likes and what food he likes. Therefore, I went to all the stores and  ate all of the food he liked. 

There was this one store, where I had to pay a lot of money. But to pay for everything, I had to make money. In order to make money, I had to sing. 

I went to the store and this man came up to me and said, “What is your name?’’ I said, “Leric.’’ He replied, “My name is Eric”.  

I asked , “ Do I know you?’’

He said, “No, but I know you.’’  

“Who are you?” I asked.

He said,  “I… am your dad.’’ I was shocked. That day I was able to take my dad home with me. We had a good time together. 

Later on, I was playing hide-and-seek and my dad couldn’t find me. I turned invisible! He realized that I had been turned into a superhero, like him!  

He then told me the real story, that he was Cat Noir, a famous superhero from Paris. He also showed me how he transformed into Cat Noir. 

He has a Kwami, a flying pet that no one else can see except for me and the other superheroes.  My dad’s suit was all black, with a black belt as a tail, a choker that has a cat bell, green cat eyes, and a black mask. He also had cat ears. 

I had a Kwami, named Tikki, meaning that I was a superhero. My name was Ladybug. 

I joined my dad on his missions and helped him to save the world. My mom was happy, and my mom and dad became friends again.  We spent time together as a family. We all were happy. 

The end.

 

Ocean

The ocean is blue,

It tastes like salt,

It sounds like the waves,

It smells like marine life,

It looks like the rippling surface,

It makes me feel happy.

 

Dressed Up

Dressed up with a bow

Dancing, singing as I go

To go see JoJo

 

 

Power in Pain

I remember this like the back of my head. I was nine years old, and my life was changed forever.

I was very close to my stepdad. His name was Aaron. We lived together for a year before he proposed to my mom. She was pregnant with my little brother. I was happy, and I really wanted them to get married. What’s insane is that the same day he proposed to my mom, my stepdad passed away because he got set up. 

Aaron got a phone call that his little brother was at the bar fighting, so he went to the bar. When he got there, his brother was not there. Aaron didn’t even get inside the bar yet before he was killed.

He was shot three times in the back of the head. 

I remember one day I saw him at the end of my bed and we started having a conversation and he said he would come back to the family and he hugged me.  Then weird stuff started happening to me. I started getting weird powers. I think it was from the hug he gave me superpowers and I started helping people.

I was sitting in my dark room and I saw a light flash — and BAM! — there he was, sitting down right next to me on the edge of my bed. We had a long talk about how I felt, about how everything was different since he left.  He started to seem like he needed to rush to go somewhere. He wouldn’t tell me where he was going, but he turned to me and gave me the biggest hug I’ve ever had. As he disappeared, I felt a rush through my whole body. Strangehings started to happen to me.

I started getting powers, like crazy mental powers that let me feel other people’s pain. This was a lot and really hard for me to handle at first. I didn’t want this power. It made me feel so sad to know how badly everyone around me felt. 

That’s when I decided to start using my power to help people. I realized I am able to protect people by letting them know I understand and I want to help prevent it from happening. I now use this power to help the whole world. Everyone goes through pain, but I am here to help, thanks to my stepdad.
