Legacy
Rachel Z Apr 2012
From the moment you were born,
People crowded around you to celebrate your birth
From your first birthday,
You smacked your hand into the cake,
From your first day at school,
You looked around nervously,
From your first bat/bar mitzvah,
You couldn't chose what to wear,
From your first job,
You didn't know to act,
From your last job,
You were happy,
From your death,
People cried bitter tears,
And kept their only memories of you,
All this...
Determined who you were,
And your impact...
In this world

Wild Horses
Rachel Z Mar 2012
The Wild Horses,
Gallop across,
The shimmering water,
Their manes flying free,
Their hooves pounding on the ground,
The Sun beating down on their back,
As...
The beautiful...
Wild...
Horses...
Run Free

Braggers
Rachel Z Mar 2012
Braggers...
They do nothing,
But make people,
Feel bad,
Feel horrible,
Feel unsure of themselves,
And most importantly,
They ruin people's dreams,
Dreams of their future
So...
**STOP BRAGGING

An Evening Night
Rachel Z Mar 2012
The stars...
Shine brightly,
In the evening sky,
Families crowd out,
On the beautiful lawn
Under the beautiful sky,
Wishing upon a shooting star,
That their life...
Their life,
Will be a good one...
On an evening night

A Perfect Spring Night
Rachel Z Mar 2012
On a perfect spring night,
the Moon rises high into the sky,
Illuminating the dark, night sky
The stars twinkling joyfully,
As if they were happy about something,
The cool breeze swooshed over the world,
The air  filled with joy...
*On A Perfect Spring Night

The Past
Rachel Z Mar 2012
The Past...
Is our history,
We can use...
The past,
To create a better world,
We can learn...
From our past mistakes
To create peace
The Past,
In which our ancestors lived,
Contains so much...
We could use that knowledge,
The knowledge we could never fully know
To create the future

Love
Rachel Z Apr 2012
Love...
It is like quicksilver,
Leave your palm open,
And it will stay...
Forever in your grasp,
But,
One thing you do wrong,
Can change all that,
The minute...
You try to clutch it,
It darts away,
Leaving only...
Your...
Broken heart and bitter tears

My Sunshine
Rachel Z Mar 2012
My Sunshine,
Lights up my days,
When the skies are gray,
My Sunshine,
Is always there when I need them,
My Sunshine,
Shares my joys and sorrows,
Please don't take my Sunshine away
Some phrases are from the song: You Are My Sunshine. It is to no one personally for those of you who may wonder. :P

Life
Rachel Z Mar 2012
Life is like a ocean
Beautiful and dangerous
All the same time,
That's how the world is made
With this balance
Everything beautiful can be devastating
And...
Everything devastating can be beautiful

Chardon
Rachel Z Mar 2012
I know what happened,
On that horrible Monday day,

Things like that should never happen,
But sadly, they still do,
Sometimes, things get tough,
But...
Remember, Chardon
Everything will be alright,
No matter how bad,

All we can do is hope and pray,
That recovery is around the corner

We will never forget this day...
**Best Wishes Chardon!
I send my condolences to the Chardon community. Keep strong Chardon!

Falling Down
Rachel Z Mar 2012
Do you know?
What it feels like to fall down?

Fall down so deep,
That you never see sunlight again
Fall down so deep,
That only darkness surrounds you
Fall down so deep,
That you feel like you will never recover
From that shock,
That shock,
Of...
Falling Down

Friends...
Who are they?
They are people,
People who care for you,
People who love you for who you are

Enemies...
Who are they?
They are people,
People who hate you,
People who hate you for who you are
Remember who are your
Friends & Enemies

As If I'm Not There
Rachel Z Apr 2012
I stay up all night,
Thinking about you,
Wishing that you would talk to me,
At least...
Answer when I ask,
But, no...
You just stare,
As if I am not there,
You seem to see right through me,
Though I'm right in front of your eyes,
What have I done?
To make me feel...
As if I'm not there?

A Good Friend
Rachel Z Mar 2012
A good friend,
Does things,
No one else is willing to do
A good friend,
Always laughs with you,
Not at you,
A good friend,
Is always there when you need them most
*A good friend will never leave you

Love
Rachel Z Mar 2012
Do you what?
Love feels like?
Love is...
When someone loves you for who you are
Not by your appearance
Love is....
When someone listens to you
Not when they just hear your words
Love is...
When someone is there when you need them
Not when they come just to share your happiness
Love makes you feel....
Cherished....
Appreciated..
And....
Special

Silent
Rachel Z Apr 2012
The moment,
I walk through the door,
You turn silent,
Your vacant eyes,
And...
Blank face,
Watch me....
The moment,
I leave...
I can hear you again...
Your laughter,
Bouncing off the walls
Yet...
When I'm there...
You are....
*silent

Love...
That word...
Everyone talks about...
Why is it so important?
Because...
Can anyone help me finish it?
