I realized the effects of anger, the hate and feeling.

I know the way it eats your happiness

and kills your love. It’s not fun to have

to carry around all this hurt

and want to dump it

on some other poor human

with  a carefree life.

It seems so much easier

to drop it and run, but that

brings more anger. I think that

telling others makes it worse. I know

the more you think about it the worse it

gets. When it comes it never really goes away,

it stays there waiting for someone to come and set

it off. To break the seal of the letter, and let all that’s bad

come and rip away all that’s good.

The more angry I

am the madder I get at myself

and the angrier I get for being mad at nothing.

Anger. It takes up your life and then…

then, you realize when your almost gone

there isn’t a reason, you spent your whole life angry… for what

the satisfaction of realization.

I don’t want to be angry anymore.

Little

little, little

tree you give up

your life for paper or

lumber for a house. Yet you

never complain in front of me or

others you just hand over your life and

don’t give a care to who it goes to you just

care that it is given to someone with a heart that

will care or at the very least love. They must love a

special something no matter what it is. Could be money,

a child, a loved one or a friend, just as long as it is a good

person who will care what happens to a love of their own.

maybe you

really do

care….

This poem can be found in Kristine O’Connell George’s book Swimming Upstream:  Middle School Poems.  It seemed appropriate for today.

Does He or Doesn’t He?

Kori says I’m smiling funny,

interrogates me,

grills me, untill

she forces me to confess

I secretly like Ryan.

We carefully analyze

Ryan’s every move,

looking for hints

that he might like me, too.

When it seems he might,

Kori passes a note

to Jaleesa, who gives it to Zach

to pass it to Craig,

who gives it to Ryan.

Does he like me?

Well, he kind of does.

Now what?

A student has decided that we need to learn to play with fire!  Just kidding, but here are some cool candle tricks!

A helpful video created by a Westfield student on how to study for a test!!

I’m like a bird

stuck in a cage

beak clipped

wings stuck together

My owner misuses me

beats me

starves me

and makes me scared

I can’t fly

can’t break free

I can’t tell my story

I’m too scared to try

Someday I will be gone

My story untold

My life a mystery

I will be forgotten
