Phoenix

My Outlawed Love
A gun on his back

A rose in his heart

A troubled past

A more troubled future

I want him to be free

He is a bad boy at heart

A Jack the Ripper ripping out hearts

But at the same time putting his own in a jar

A bottom out blowout

Down a never ending  road

I thought he would get up

When a gunshot rings

Through the valley

I realized all his life

This was to happen

Him on the ground

I know exactly who I am

I am the Baby Brother

I am that special friend many people need

I am that football nerd

I am a ball-hogger

I am as outspoken as President Nixon

I am as awesome as Barney Stinson

I am a huge Christian.…Bale fan

I am the most ecstatic Giants fan

I am who I want to be

I am me, and I am proud of that

I Am A Mockingjay

I am someone who, someday, will make a difference.

I am the number 13 for the years I have lived.

I am in love with The Hunger Games.

I am a musician, for music runs in my blood and soul.

I am a bold lover of books and basketball.

I am frightened to lose everything that matters to me.

I am the oldest of six children.

I am a rebel like Katniss Everdeen,

For I fight for what I believe in, not what society wants me to believe in.

I am passionate about equality.

I am crazy for speaking my mind.

I am one of a kind.

I am lost in my own thoughts.

I am a hardcore Tegan and Sara fan.

I am Iddy to my best friend.

I am shy like a turtle, hiding inside my shell.

I am like a dream, for I leave you wondering.

I am friendly like Casper the Friendly Ghost.

I am not what society wants me to be, but who I want to be.

I am a rainbow, bright and eye-catching, I show my true colors.

I Am Different

 I am Alis; no nicknames and nothing special

I am a snowflake that appeared on December 21st

I am a Sagittarius meaning I’m fearless and full of life

I am the middle child fighting for attention

I am often as blunt as a gun so don’t get offended

I am phenomenal at hiding my true emotions

I am free spirited so I can’t be tied down to someone

I am a bumper, striker, and spiker

I am a dancing machine

I am a nature loving gal even if I might not look it

I am willing to jump off a bridge so I’m gutsy

I am an optimist so my glass is always half full

I am in total rapture with red

I am me and no one can change that

Be Respectful: Accept differences of others

Our stupidity and closed minds are

Making us go against each other

Instead of working together as a whole

So lets not judge each other

Even though we have our differences

Don’t harass or bully someone  

Because we’re all different either way

It isn’t fair

To be treating others like trash

I mean, we’re all humans here

Blood and skin

Made of flesh

And we’re gonna disrespect others because of their

Race, sexuality, religion, etc

That is just messed up

We all need to realize that underneath all our differences

We’re not that far apart

Stop being so close minded

Stop being so idiotic

Because people are who they are

No matter their differences

They are who they are

And they can’t change that

People can’t change who they are

So we’ve got to accept them

No matter what

No matter who they are

Whether they are

Asian

White

Atheist

Straight

Gay

Jewish

It doesn’t matter because

You are you

She is  her

He is him

THey are them

We are us

I am me

And nothing can change that
