2. CATERINA
Chuck T’s ambercombie jeans,
Live down the street,
In class your phone all waysbeeps.
many trips with the pass,
Always sneaking out of class.
Secrets held… you know me well.
Betty’s bag,
Small girl but lots of swag,
I know the things
that make you
mad.
These words are
deep and I will
keep,
Until its time for
the long sleep.
3. Deep
Every day is routine
A lot means nothing to me
Why do I wear these brand name jeans
What is wrong with Mr. Sheen
A lot means nothing to me
The mourning beep is scares me
Its just the start of the daily routine
I sit and get lectured while wearing a sweatshirt
But why am I still cold
It reminds me of the mold in the shower
Why do girls love flowers
I have so many thoughts I’ve done bad things
And got caught
I have also got away a quiet place is where I want to stay
4. Ode to Nature
Summer time is the best
You can play all day and then take a rest
Way to hot for clothes so girls show their chests
Pool parties..
People dressed in ambercrombie..
Some soo hot they drag around like zombies
The best feeling is the summer breeze
It’s been awhile since the wind hit my knees
This summer I’ll be 16 and guess what?
I’ll have my car keys.
5. The Line
I hate standing in line
It takes so long all the time
I especially hate the people who don’t know what to buy
Ohhh Lori isn't looking a cut I
will try
Yesss the front of the line
Just in the knick of time
Wait….what was I gonna buy
6. I Gotta
Go
Man I really gotta go
I take a deep breath and
blow out slow
I don't think I shoulda
drank that coke
As the bell rings out of
class I float
I gotta go so bad I don't
know why but I almost chocked
Finally into the bathroom I gloat
I rush into the stall but ewww theres something afloat
The standing stalls are full
What will I do
