A hearts cost
Brandon Jun 16
I don’t have the unearthly craving
That’s many souls hold dearly
Maybe I’m in need of saving?
Or maybe it’s there merely

The search for the moon and stars
The wonders in someone’s heart
Not for another because of scars
But for the peacefulness of the true art

The trauma that’s unfolded
The scars at what’s lost
The drama that would’ve been avoided
Left me with a hefty cost

Now I watch the craving take someone else
Good luck with what you’ve been dealt

The prefect night
Brandon 6d
The aroma filled with a thick smoke
The campfire vastly burning the oak
The feeling of the soft breeze
The sound of the shuffling trees
The guitar, wind, and people singing
The two hammocks swinging
The laughing and gleeful smiles
The joyous break from life’s trials
The moon shining in the sky
The moonlight’s glare in my eye
The stars twinkling bright
The wounds healed to a perfect night
Brandon 4d
In the night sky
Was a moon shining bright
In the night sky
Was all kinds of lights
But This moon was broken
And still floating
My head is full and I’m heartbroken
Im going to give up
But not anymore
This moon filled my cup
Even with my head at war
The broken moon stayed afloat
And so will I keep going
for the moon was a lifeboat
And I’m not stoping because the moon is still glowing

You challenged me
Brandon Jun 15
The severity in which this will last
Its locked within
The way I feel; wrath
And now let it come out, sin.

I’ve tried of being behind
So I would run
Because I won’t be kind
I’ve gone numb

I’m consumed by the rage
Next I will end you
You better start to pray
Because your going to lose

You challenged me
And though my eyes
You can’t flee
So this is goodbye

The path taken
Brandon Jun 17
The path less taken
Is the one I create
A path I shall make

They ask why take the hard road.
Why do you think I see one road?

The road taken is the one I create
The one that leads to the stars
And can go beyond

So before you ask why?
Don’t assume I see one way
Because I use imagination
And creation.

Change
Brandon 6d
Change.
a storm,
That comes fast
Raging inside.
What you make it
the difference between

Life and death
The power of change
is like cookies
Sweet and nice
Or burnt and bad

Change is what you make it.
It is a flower
Loving, caring, and sweet.
Is the life of change

Change can be tough
and stubborn like people and
Mean, bad, and annoying
The death of change can be

The roller coaster
Change brings
The up and down
Side to side
The crazy ride
The difference it makes
Inside you and me
This was the poem I wrote to present in front of all the Advanced 7th grade classmates

It was written in 7th grade btw

Goodbye… my friend
Brandon Jun 17
I take the crown
After I’ve dug a grave so deep
My hearts been pulled down
And I watch as the darkness begins to seep

Within a dark sky, has shown
And inside I began to die
The wind starts with a saddened blow
The storm is made of lies

The moon is not here
And there’s no light around
There’s no one near
My heart is going to drown

Goodbye
My friend to the very end

Survival
Brandon Jun 15
I must fight for my life.
War after war, night after night,
In my mind, I will survive.
Losing is not anywhere in sight
Longing to for the end of this journey
Storm had risen along the horizons end
Unfortunately, there’s not going to be mercy
Rain pelting down and I’m without friends
Versatile to my survival
Issues arise and it’s caprice.
Versus my rivals.
Everyone, everything I face, I will hold my peace.

Life and love
Brandon 3d
I’m not that happy
And love is far from reach
Life has been quite ******
And life has ****** my soul out like a leech

I’m not far behind
And love is there
Life has taken my love and wasn’t kind
And life goes on like it doesn’t care

I’m truly upset
And love is truly a lie
Life has no story that is set
And life goes on with a smile

The love and life wasn’t for me
I didn’t get to blossom as a cherry tree

Love
Brandon 4d
The soft soothing sound of fire within
The calming of the night and air
The breeze of affection when I see your grin
It’s a beautiful thing, and makes me care

Your voice is that can’t simply be ignored
The truth you speak has impacted me
I truly admire you like an award.
Just your presence is enough to make me glee

The love goes beyond words of heart
To stars that sit among us
This is truly a piece of art
Not even words would discuss

You’ve seen my scars and sin
But your still here
I must thank you for being my lens
You’ve stayed though it all my dear
Brandon 4d
The greenery around is overgrown
The flicker of a flame
I will watch it burn, alone.
And once it’s is gone I’ll be to blame

This flame brought fire
Where is water?
And I’m lying tired
I lie as it gets hotter

The fire holds my reflection
Am I burning or is my past?
The green had so much affection
And now to the furious flames it was cast

The only thing left is imperfect, hot coals
This only goes on in a loophole
Brandon 7d
A sense of time
A simple watch
One that is mine

It’s not gold
Nor sliver
It’s not even old

The gift of time
Makes me glee
But it’s not mine

The time is shared
And so is my joy
Soon I will be lose what was so deeply cared

For it’s not mine to keep
I will follow this path
Until it makes me weep.

This simple watch didn’t cost
It was a gift from a friend
and it has me truly lost

The worlds fire
Brandon Jun 17
I sit lost
Someone’s flame I’ve killed
I shall pay a cost
And now I’m ill

I shall pray for death
But I’ve yet to meet it
Stuck with a broken tool in my chest
And helpless I admit

The world I admired came to a end
And now I will go
I shall never make another friend
Now I sit and watch my tears flow

I’ve brought tragedy of pain
And now it runs though my vains

Love lost
Brandon Jun 15
I am so truly lost in a haze.
I tried with all my heart to love,
But all I’m met with is a lonely gaze.
It just wasn’t enough.

I’m drowning in the waves of a sea.
I’d created this sea of emotions.
Locked away and lost the key.
Now I watch as it consumes me.

Gazing at the moon above,
I see the scars over it.
And start to wonder where I messed up?
Yet, the moon maintained brightly lit.

The garden I called home met a flame,
And now I’ll be to blame.

— The End —
