- 2. Fred Freshman year There was once a tur‐ I was excited in the start tle named Fred And now it’s almost over. His owner was shot in The year was fun, it went too fast the head Yet I want it to be over. No one knows why A lot has happened, and I loved it The red turtle cries All, I met new people and made Except that his owner lifelong friends, is dead I loved it in the beginning, yet I can’t wait till it ends The moon Ode to nature Blind I flew to the moon Roses are red Why cant I see Just so I can look back on the earth Violets are blue Have i gone blind I’ve wanted to get here since my birth Turtles are green I think it is cool Why cant I bleed I’m having a blast Yes this is true That’s on my mind I can’t believe I’m here at last Rocks are gray I planned this for 15 years I cannot see Water is blue When I got here I sang some cheers I have gone blind Nothing in this world I used all my money on the space gear That’s when I realized Is uglier then you. I only paid for the ride here

Highs n’ lows Things happen and things end It was a straight path till it came to a bend And just like that people you know Decide to go And you feel disgustingly low, you feel horrible from head to toe But at the end You gotta keep your head up And it might feel as if the thing pushin’ down won’t let up But push though it And all along you knew it You like some and love others You were so close, just like brothers You thought it would last People leave and break you down And for days on end you wear that frown And the tears you cry become too deep And soon you drown But at the end of the night You gotta rise above the thing that keeps you down And eventually you have to turn that frown upside down
