It's My Life

Wake up in the morning Fell asleep too late don't want to go to school But I don't care - its my life Go to school looking a mess Never checked my bag My friends laugh and say I look stupid I just say "Get lost" - it's my life Go to class, they ask me for my book "Don't have it Sir" - he gives me lines I have to write on paper But I don't care - it's my life Next lesson I remembered my book But I fell asleep and got lines What does he know about Science All he cares for is money - it's my life Get home, do my homework Do my lines, get Mum to sign them All she does is moan, moan , moan So I tell her what I tell everyone - IT'S MY LIFE!.

He's Gone

How loud his voice was when he wanted it to be He powered over me he powered over every child I knew But the power never took over him He could be as nice and as kind as we would let him be I know he cared, we all know he cared He was there for us. He was there for me A lot of people listened when he spoke Because he would talk sense He'd only say things that were for our own good I loved him. We all loved him You can tell by the reaction we had (This brings me to the sad part in my poem) They told us it was a heart murmer We cried, we banged the desks I felt upset I felt mad why did he leave us Now he's gone I want him back We all want him back But he's gone forever.
