Life is a box of chocolates
Looks pretty on the outside
But you never know whats on the inside

It can be as good as a beautiful warm sunny day
It can be as bad as an angry hurricane
It can be as sweet as white powdered sugar
It can be as bitter as black coffee

You never know what you get
When you open a box of chocolates

Dear Nike,

No better felling then when I get that new shoe smell
Fresher than a spring breeze
Like a wizard making a new spell
I reach out and grab my Nikes
Pull them on my feet
They are
Comfy as a the softest cloud
Smooth as the purest silk
Magnificent as a majestic eagle spreading its wings to fly off into a deep red sunset
They make me feel relaxed as  sitting in the shade on a warm summer day

When I wear you
I feel as strong as the Rock lifting a thousand pounds
faster than Usain Bolt shattering a world record and hearing fans cream his name
All the pressure off
It's just my Nikes and I

I'm a blur with my nikes
Fast as a cheetah sprinting after a desperately bounding antelope
Can't even see me

People try to keep up
All they do is trip up
When they glance up from the cold hard ground thick mud covering their face
All they see are my beautiful piercing green Nikes

Running down the court
Legs pumping
Muscles flexing
So much sweat pouring off my face its like a raging river
I taste the sourness of salt in my mouth
Next thing you know
It's all over
The buzzer roars
Everyones jumps on their feet
All eyes locked on the ball flying through the air
Fans screaming like angry banshees so loud it could make you deaf
Swoosh
And it's all over

There's a reason Nike means victory
It's because no one can even compete
Before the battle is started they've already been beat

People who don't wear them
Just haven't realized
that the shoes they wear are inferior
Do their shoes give them the power to jump one thousand feet
Sprint at the speed of light
Make exery shot they take
No

On the torn up field
On the scuffed up court
It doesn't matter

When I wear my Nikes
They make me fly
Around the world
Through white wispy clouds surrounded by beautiful baby blue sky
Across the endless oceans full of green and turquoise churning water and silver jumping fish
Through fields full of long dark green grass
Feeling the wind blow through my face like an angry hurricane
Its like I'm in the flashing streets Hong kong
Nike shoe game is just too strong

Love, Zach

Rocks
Unmoving
Strong
Sometimes misplaced
But never forgotten

Showered with warm summer rain
Covered with beautiful red autumn leaves
Coated in the soft light snow of winter
And drowned in the muddy floods of spring
The rock is unchanged
Stubborn
And strong

The rock is as old as time
And as time passes around it
Nature dies
Trees fall with great cracks and booms
Animals die with old age
But not rock
Rock still remains

Nothing will ever be
As solid as rock

He walks the path
Full of mud and fallen trees
Cold as an iceberg
