Rhyme Zone Poem "A Brand new day"

Rest your head and close your eyes
Everything will be okay
For when you wake with the sweet sunrise
It will be a brand new day
Turn down the lights and pull me close
Feel only the beating of our hearts as we lay
For when you wake with the soft morning breeze
It will be a brand new day
Relax your body and touch my soft hair
Let all life's worries melt away
When you wake with the summer scent
It will be a brand new day

Still I Rise
You may write me down in historyWith your bitter, twisted lies,You may trod me in the very dirtBut still, like dust, I'll rise.Does my sassiness upset you?Why are you beset with gloom?'Cause I walk like I've got oil wellsPumping in my living room.Just like moons and like suns,With the certainty of tides,Just like hopes springing high,Still I'll rise.Did you want to see me broken?Bowed head and lowered eyes?Shoulders falling down like teardrops.Weakened by my soulful cries.Does my haughtiness offend you?Don't you take it awful hard'Cause I laugh like I've got gold minesDiggin' in my own back yard.You may shoot me with your words,You may cut me with your eyes,You may kill me with your hatefulness,But still, like air, I'll rise.Does my sexiness upset you?Does it come as a surpriseThat I dance
like I've got diamondsAt the meeting of my thighs?Out of the huts of history's shameI riseUp from a past that's rooted in painI riseI'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.Leaving behind nights of terror and fearI riseInto a daybreak that's wondrously clearI riseBringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,I am the dream and the hope of the slave.I riseI riseI rise.

Christmas Vacation

My writer’s vacation was not as exciting as I thought it would be. At first I was really excited to go and see my little sister. When I got there I got a little home sick and I was missing all my friends. I called them every day to see how they were doing and too see how much they missed me. I started to relax and tell myself that everything r be ok. I started to have fun and make myself feel at home. Christmas came around and I couldn’t wait. I got to open one present on Christmas Eve. I got to excited and opened my presents on Christmas Eve. After I went to a party for New Years Eve I threw a party. I had an experience I never thought would have.

Family Bond(Knott's Soak City)

Every year my family has a family reunion or some type of trip. A couple years ago at the age of 12 my oldest cousin took my sister Sharay,my two cousin's Tyece and Danika and I to Knotts Soak City on an early saturday morning. It was a really long ride from where my cousin lived so I feel asleep on the way there.I was really excited but shy at the same time because there was lot's of people and I thought they would be watching me in my bathing suit.After we waited in a really long line it was all worth it.It was even funner when we didn't have to have adult supervision.The first place I went was The Wave Poo. The wave pool is this really big pool that has lots of floater's for everyone.The pool started off at about two feet and on the other end was nine feet deep.About every 15 minutes automatic waves would come on.As I was in the floaty,the waves sent me flying on top of people and into the water.I started to get bored with the pool so I went to The Pacific Spin.The Pacific Spin is a really big pink and yellow tunnel.You need to stand in a really long line for a floaty,ten walk up lot's of stairs before you could reach the top.I finally reached the top.Tyece,Danika,and I got into our floaty and the person staffing the ride pushes us down a really long tunnel and before I knew it I felt were going round and round as if we were being flushed down a toilet and we ended up in a pool full of floater's.The line wasn't worth the ride so I went back to the Wave Pool.I ate lunch and started to dry off because it was getting really dark and cold out side.I went home and took a really long shower.

2010!

In 2010 I plan to keep my grades up and stay focused in school.I plan to stay out of drama and stay out of trouble.I plan to take responsibility in my consequence's and in jobs given to me.I will change my attitude and not hold grudges against people.My goal is to go the whole entire year with out getting on 2 hour or any kick outs.I hope to get at least a 3.0-3.5 this year.I hope to become more quiet because everyone knows me as loud.I hope to become the girl that has most improved and changed since the the start of 2010. 2010 I will be more than what I was in 2009.I will show everyone not to expect me as class clown this year.

Basketball & life on SPA'S campus

Basketball is going really well. I pulled a muscle and was hurt and limping for a while. It doesn't hurt anymore if walk on it but If I put pressure than it starts to hurt. I called my coach Taffe to see what I should do about it and she told me to ice it and wrap an ace bandage around it. I didn’t like using the ice but she said that was the only way for it to heal faster. I’m not going to be here for our upcoming games and Tia really wants me too be there but my ticket was a non-refundable ticket which I was scheduled to stay up in Washington for the two weeks of Christmas vacation. I can’t wait for school to get out too. I just want to leave all the drama behind and enjoy my Christmas vacation with my family which seems like I haven’t seen in years.

My Thanksgiving Break

Over Thanksgiving break I had a really hard time. I couldn't go on pass because of something that happened the previous pass. I stayed on S.P.A's campus which was full of surprises that I never thought would happen, but don't too much care about because I'm moving on. I then needed some time off campus. I asked my favorite staff Mellisa Malone if she could give my staff Heather a car so we could go and get some dounuts. I called my bestfriend Marcus and he was somewhat having fun on pass until he heard the "shocking" news. He wanted to come back from pass early but the staff couldn't send a transport way out to Riverside so I had too wait until Sunday when he came back. On Sunday afternoon Marcus came home and then we hung out for the rest of the evening.
