Written by the high school me....

So, I was cleaning out a night stand, trying to free up some space and empty some boxes for other uses. Well, I came across this folder of poems (I use the term loosely as I am anything but a poet) I wrote when I was like in high school... They're lame and cheesy, but I thought I'd share them anyway, cuz like, I can. Two of them I wrote when I heard about some poetry contest I had no shot in hell at winning and one of them I wrote following a prompt for my Spanish class. I think I went back and editted one of them, Lord knows why... Not that it improved the rest of it! Anywho, here they are (and no they don't rhyme and don't read too much into them, I'm not that deep. :P):

Poems by a high school me

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Only a Dream

It's only a dream, my own little world
Something out of my imagination
As hard as I try, as hard as I pray
I'll never be there, it's only a dream

It's real in my head, real in my heart
Exploring and travelling all over the universe
Treated like a beautiful princess
With, of course, my prince charming

There are superheros fighting evil
And God has chosen me and my friends
I'ts a secret, no one can know
It's exciting, but it's only a dream

Many wish for something like this
A chance to be whatever they want
Why can't it be real?
It's unfair that it's only a dream

A Wish and a Lesson

Dancing bears, painted wings
Wishing on a star
Wishing on a dream
These are the songs of fairy tales

We hear the songs over and over
We secretly long to be in a tale
Dream of being in a distant land
Wish to experience an adventure

Read the books, watch the movies and shows
Saying "This is as far as I'll ever get"
But what if there was more
What if prayers were answered

Would you be the hero or the heroine
Or would you be the rescued one
Do you watch or take part
And where and when would you be

It finally happened, I got my wish
I got my adventure
I am the heroine far from here
Always am I called to aid others

For months and months
Here have I stayed
The fun is over now
And I want to go home

I miss other stories
I miss family and friends
Once a student, now a warrior
How did I get in this mess

I begged for something like this
Now I have learned my lessons
The grass is not as green as it seems
And always be careful what you wish for

Yo Soy

(Note: This was written in my Spanish I class which was, oy, 11 years ago. I can only translate some of it with little to no certainty of it's correctness. :P So don't ask me what it says.)

Soy inteligente y cómica
Me pregunto como será viajer entree las estrellas
Oigo dinero hablar
Vea volar a las personas
Quisiera volar
Soy inteligente y cómica

Finjo que tengo poderes
Siento que estoy flotando
Me peocupo por el futuro
Lloro cuando la muerte esta cerca
Soy inteligente y cómica

Comprendo que la vida es difícil
Digo que Dios existe
Sueño con mi futuro
Trato de trabajar duro
Espero que yo será cirujana
Soy inteligente y cómica

And those were my poems from, like, 8-11 years ago. Commence laughter, now!
