You look like you need a drink,
It's been a very long day.
But doesn't it just really stink,
That your drink has no place to stay?

Well fear no longer my very fine friend,
For I am here to help!
Your undying thirst will soon reach its end,
All you have to do is yelp.

But how in the world can I help you, you ask?
Or you might just say, "what's up?"
It really is rather I quite simple task,
All you need is one paper cup!

"That's all?" you doubt, not sure it is true.
Why yes, I tell you! Of course!
Look for yourself, you really must see!
They truly are quite a force.

Finally you rethought my proposal,
And then gave me a pleading look.
You knew that you wanted at your disposal
A cup! So I gave and you took.

See what I mean? Isn't it grand?
"It's magnificent!" you say.
"I love the feel of this paper cup in my hand,
And my thirst has at last gone away!"

One night I was sleeping
Soundly in bed,
When I heard an odd noise
From over my head.

I opened my eyes,
And what did I see?
A boy in all green,
Just staring at me!

My mouth open wide,
I let out a scream,
And wondered if it
Could all be a dream.

Frightened, the boy
Flew quickly away.
Wait, flew? Yes, flew!
He flew upwards, I say!

When he saw that I
Wouldn't shout anymore,
He came out of hiding,
And stood back on the floor.

Scared but in awe
Of this magical boy,
I reached out my hand
And he took it with joy.

I asked for his name,
And he said, "Peter Pan!
Always a boy,
And never a man!"

I laughed at this statement,
And with hands on his hips,
He flew back up in the air
And did a few flips.

No longer scared,
I was happy as can be,
Peter flew to my side
Saying, "come fly with me!"

With a burst of excitement,
I grabbed at his hand,
And flew along with him
To his home, Neverland.

Although he was small,
This boy dressed in tights,
Could fly up and reach
The greatest of heights.

Live the life you love,
& love the life you live.

The air is thick,
Hard to breathe,
Full of thoughts that
I've hidden underneath.

They have grown,
Building, building,
Until I am bursting
At the seams with feelings.

Just one more punch
And I'll be pushed over the edge.
Turns out it was just a poke
That broke past my limits instead.

I was hit with a rush
Of emotions overloaded.
I broke down completely;
It was about time I exploded.

If I had just had someone
With whom I could confide,
I would have shared, bit by bit,
All the feelings I hid deep inside.

With every closed door
Comes an open window,
Which will let in cold air
And make you sick.

But don't open the door again.
You'll get robbed...
And not just of your hopes and dreams.

I am a bird,
Flying so high.
I am a tree,
Branches reach to the sky.

I am a cat
With a cute little meow.
I am a lion
With a ferocious growl.

I am a pencil
With a point always sharp.
I am lined paper
Who's been ripped apart.

I am loose change,
I make lots of noise.
I am a statue,
I've got grace and poise.

I am a building,
Structured and strong.
I am a king
Who's never been wrong.

I am a flower,
Oh so unique.
I am a dancer
Who just reached my peak.

I am a human
With reason and thought.
I am a fish
Who's got not a lot.

I am an enigma,
Not yet figured out.
I am a dream
That's gone with a shout.

I am the darkness
With secrets I can't say.
I am the light
Shining bright every day.

I am whatever
I want to be.
But most importantly,
I'm always me.

Take a good look at me;
I'm an open book.
Read me from cover to cover,
And maybe you'd learn a thing or two.
