Paragraph

Throughout my life I've made many blunders.As a kid i wanted to be a zany.Well,lets just say that didn't work out to well.I was always incongruous when it comes to the routines.When it was finally showtime i started to frolick.During the show i experienced great mortification. The boss was acting very absurd.Everyone started jeering at me.He gratuitously fired me. I was so angry,but i had to respect his superiority. My life is very inconsistent.

Poem

This Feeling
Joseph Bates
11th
Mr. Rease
Ben. C. Rain high school










Her dad’s attitude makes her mad
She see’s in her mother’s eyes that she’s heartbroken and sad
Her family is slowly falling apart
She doesn’t know how to express this feeling inside her heart
Even though her heart is turning cold like ice
She doesn’t want to lose her grip on life
Growing up her family couldn’t afford much
But she enjoyed living the life of old Dutch
What’s this feeling inside her heart
How do she express it before her mind falls apart

Why was she chosen to live this life
All she can do is cry at night
During the day she appears as strong as she can be
But in her mind she is wondering why can’t they see
Why can’t they see her pain
Why does she feel she’s the one to blame
She’s lost in this unfamiliar world and can’t find her way back
She feels like a needle in a haystack
What’s this feeling inside her heart
How do she express it before her body falls apart

She really doesn’t understand this feeling
She is looking forward to a miracle healing
She looks in the mirror and sees no reflection
She needs a lot of love and affection
Her family doesn’t know her name
She thinks she’ll have more attention if she had money or fame
She is looking for a new beginning
Her time on earth is slowly ending
What’s this feeling inside her heart
How do she express it before she goes to far
But its too late she has ended the game
That feeling is lack of affection and pain.
