d Laughing
Language of all
Amusing, but can get out of hand
Underestimating laughter is a huge mistake
Going on and on, never knowing how to stop
However, laughing too hard can be dangerous
Intensely concentrating on the cause of such laughter
Never enough fun without our friends
Great feelings only, the joy shall never end
~Malina R.
Social Media
Social media can be very useful
Of course, it can also be toxic
Can’t go a day without checking my phone
Instagram oh my gosh, I forgot to post
And of course I can’t forget my Snapchat streaks
Love comparing ourselves to each other
Media is a thing that’s very powerful
Eagerly checking and liking celebrities’ posts
Dying to know the newest trends
It is all a part of social media
And the cycle goes on and on
~Hannah G.
d
Life
You should love your life
Everyday do something new
Things you won’t forget
~Eva N.
Believed
I believed in Santa
I believed in the Tooth Fairy
I believed that I knew everything
I believed what everyone told me
I believed that every human was good
I believed that there was no bad in the
world
I believed everything was easy
I believed that everyone had it the
same
I believed that no one would do
anything to harm anybody or
anything
I believed that my problems were the
only ones that existed
I believed that there was a monster
under my bed
I believed that if you stepped on a
crack it would break my mom’s back
I believed in everything.
