I am the candy you are afraid to eat,

But cannot resist.

I am the yoga pants

That are too close to your skin.

I am your favorite television show,

The one you never miss

Always waiting for the climax.

I am the color contacts

The one you use

To change yourself.

I am the Ferrari

Too expensive

For you to touch.

I am the bottle

You go to when you are alone.

I am the fly,

That you cannot catch.

I will never remember your name,

But you will never forget to remember mine.

Creepers

First they see you and then they start creeping.

They try to talk and text you tonight.

Keeping you from sleeping because they’re peeping.

They love that you are like dynamite.

All they want is to go on a date.

They say you are sexy so they want to score.

So now they will sit home and comp template.

They are sore because they adore you more and more.

Block the creeper forever and ever.

You yell so loud they will never love another.

Your more clever, your connection, now severed.

They will never talk again it like they’re smothered.

Crazy creepers could never stand a chance.

Dancing and prancing on to the next romance.

Extended Metaphor

The Mall

As the light blinds me

I enter a paradise, Heaven.

Unlike anywhere else

I never have to bring a thing,

I can have anything possible

I see the best.

Once I enter I never leave.

Favorite Friday Poem

Trust

By Alisha Ricks

Trust is earned

But once violated

It’s difficult to regain

When do you trust?

Who do you trust?

You trust with your mind

You trust with your heart

You trust with honor

You trust with pride

You trust with expectations

But is putting trust in someone worth it?

Tell me, is it?

I’ve tried to trust

But ended up with betrayal

And cannot allow it to occur again

I opened my mind

Opened my heart

But only received

A shattered heart

Now I know not to trust so easily

I love this poem because without trust there is nothing and once it is lost it is impossible to find. It is so hard to trust people because we are humans and we make mistakes. I have lost people who are very important to me trusts because i did not think that it mattered that much. I have learned that I will not have anything if i betray a persons trust and to show others that if they betray me they are going to lose me.

For AJ

Be a good influence.

Show your friends.

Reveal the truth.

Be a good influence, encourage growth and change.

They are better people than their current actions.

Their eyes are blind to higher hopes.

Be a good influence expose their veracious character.

Be the change in them that you crave.

You could make everything moral.

Be a good influence, demonstrate how to make a U turn.

Be yourself, show them goodness.

Be a good influence.
