Reality

Realization hits

And you drown

When you sink

To the bottom

You don’t know

Your journey

Has just begun

Things happen

People turn

Hope disappears

And

Occasionally

You think

What if I could

Just end it?

End it

Over

Done

But sitting at the bottom

Of space and time

You have to realize

That it’s just the beginning

Realization hits

You fall

And when

You get back up

That reality is real

It hurts

But

If you tell yourself

That you are you

Your own person

Your own mind

And the universe is yours

So what if people turn?

So what if hope disappears?

Find yourself

Create new hopes

And when you sink

To the bottom of the ocean

You know what happens?

You grow fins and gills

And swim

See the sun shine again

Because realization is just the beginning

Eternal Truth

I see you standing there

Unlimited

In your qualities

And I know

You are real

I see the sky

Perpetually

Blue

And I know

I am real

I see the seas

Bottomless

In their depths

And I know

There are others

I see the stars

Infinitely

Bright

And I know

We are insignificant

I see the land

Continually

Corrupted

And I know

Our time will run out

I see hate

Limitless

In damage

And I know

We cannot live like this

But

When all goes dark

And the end seems near

I see light

Drive out the darkness

And I know

There is hope

I see love

Drive out hate

And I know

We will stay standing

And I see you

Standing here

Beside me

Unboundedly

Beautiful

City of Magic

Bright lights
Shining stars
If you've got it
As great as our's
Then your're in luck

There are bright orange fruits
And deep down in the roots
You'll find peace and quiet somewhere

In the valley of heat
Come find a seat
And settle into a life you never knew

But even so
With the bright lights a flow
Everyone loves to go there

With the parks and the marks
And the Magical Arts

Two cities apart
But one at heart
I would surely love to stay there

Author's note: Written in seventh grade. We had a giant poetry unit, and one day we had to write about a city. If you haven't figured it out yet, it's about Los Angeles (my hometown). At the end it refers to LA as two cities, which would be referring to the San Fernando Valley and the actual city of Los Angeles (like hollywood and stuff).

Imagine Out Loud

Author's note: Sometimes I'll listen to a song on repeat while writing a poem or story, and thats what I did with this one. This poem's inspired by the song "Alligator Sky" by Owl City (click here to listen on youtube).  It's from a month or two back. One of my personal favorites :D enjoy...

I imagine with my eyes open

Open up your mind to the possibilities

Possibilities of open opportunities

Opportunities of pure imagination

Imagine out loud

Remember to imagine

Imagine the mountains

Mountains that rise out of the desert

Desert civilization and let yourself be free

Free of the earth that holds us down

Down from fascination

Let the rockets come to life

Life that will carry you to the moon

And back

Back to the telescopes that

Send your eyes off into space

Space filled with imagination

Fall from the sky on

The rollercoaster that will carry you

Feel the wind on your face

That will take your breath away

Away from your body and mind

Filled with captivation

Remember to breath

Cause the probabilities are endless

And you you’ll be filled

With the thrill of the clouds above

Your head will spin with imagination

Of the world beyond us

Dive in headfirst

First to the bottom of the ocean

All the way to China you will find

The world as you never knew it

Animate your mind

With the captivation of

The life we live

Live like fire burns

As bright as the stars in the sky

Remember to laugh

Cause there is so much to love

To live for

For the fruits and trees

That sprout from the ground

Like magic

Fall into the sky

Let time stop

Take a look

At the picture you see

See the life around you

Frozen

Remember to love
Cause the possibilities are endless

In a perpetual state of fascination

Accomplishments are rewarded

With boundless opportunities

You can

Imagine out loud

PS: I just remembered: I was writing this poem while driving through the middle of nowhere in California (we were on our way to a ski resort over winter break) and basically we were just surrounded by mountains and desert.
