I CRIED

When I didn’t understand                                                                                                            Why you didn’t love me any more                                                                                               When you used those words to disown me                                                                             When you pushed me with anger in your eyes

I cried when you didn’t                                                                                                                  When all I could do was cry, I cried                                                                                           Bottled tears                                                                                                                                            Blank fears                                                                                                                                Oh dear                                                                                                                                   you are full of it!

Meaning when you cried, when I cried                                                                                             I died from the inside                                                                                                           Scratching to be free, living to live and die                                                                                  All I could do is cry                                                                                                              When I cried, I cried.

BY MCKINLEY

Let me see your eyes /  Let me see your face

Can I see your lips /  Can I have a taste?

Let me see your eyes / Let me see your face

Can I have a kiss / Just a little taste?

It’s funny how that one honey makes your brain all jumbled / Got u talking like a dummy cuz’ you notice the little things / How she say she don’t need a man, especially if he aint’ giving a ring

Oh, she crazy but she amazing her beautiful smile, beautiful eyes / Light skinned, brown eyes, hair so long you’d be surprised

Phasing through my guy code, putting me in the I’m a do what I want mode

Only decision to make is, if she worth the risk I’m willing to take

When I first met this girl it was a rainy day on BART, though I was nervous I notice it was a start, embark on a new adventure, this happen at the end of September, getting kinda close to winter. But when I seen her I notice her beautiful smile, tho’ she tried to hide it for a while. Lovely eyes caught me off guard, made me think she was a model or a rising star,

Plenty of words I can use to describe her, long as I can be prescribed a dictionary, and it’s kinda scary that a girl like her would want a dude like me, that was my moment as a real – how did he get a girl like that?  Man, I don’t know. But when I realized I had charm that allows love to spark and grow, there’s something I wish I would’ve let her know. It may not change a thing but the best part of being in your world is when I got to hear you sing, because you sang like Angel, if you sang the Star Spangled Banner, would;ve been the best I ever heard it. And when we’d go to sleep on the phone, all I heard was giggling and gurbrish — there’s another way to word this, but I’m telling it the way it is.

If I had one wish, it would be to get that kiss, but I made so many mistakes that I wasn’t blessed with that blissful feeling of my lips to your lips. So if I get another chance, I;m sure to take it and make no mistakes in my plan. Just a little taste so in the end it’ll be like– damn.

By SHARRON

Can’t even reason

My mistakes I can’t retake

What brought you to a state

To hurt me

Had no intentions, hit divisions

You straight trippin’

Just leave

 

By SANDRA

When I needed you most

You went through the door

Never came back

Excuses…. You didn’t even try to make them up

You threw me away

Like you never knew me

I did no harm but I was down with the worms

You moved on like the speed of light

Leaving me in the dirt

I’m afraid when I lost John to AT/RT                                                                                          I’m afraid when my mom is in the hospital                                                                                   I’m afraid when I lost all 14 of  my loved ones                                                                              I’m afraid of losing another car                                                                                                    I’m afraid when I lose my friends.

By MCKINLEY WILLIAMS

I was afraid first day in kindergarten                                                                             I was afraid going to my first dance

I was afraid to have a job for the first time                                                                                   I was afraid of having sex for the first time

But these things I was afraid of, I did and                                                                                Had nothing to worry about after                                                                                      Except for maybe                                                                                                                      Having a kid.

By SANDRA XU

Courage is an ever standing tree

I stand alone but still so strong

I dance away through the falling leaves

Courage is an ever standing tree

She fought to survive

She fought to stay

Courage is an ever standing tree

His heart was broken by the girl he loves

His soul is yearning to be free

Courage is an ever standing tree

There’s things we cannot have

We have the things we need

Courage is an ever standing tree

I’m afraid when the sun goes down and

The sky turns dark

What my country needs is peace

This nation consists of many who suffered

For the pride and victory of their country

If I were President I would be the miracle

in people’s eyes, which show sorrow and pain

I was brave when I stood alone with no one

Standing beside me
