Ordinary World

What's up? My name is Colton Smith. I am just the average kid living every kids dream. Ok, so i am not living the dream, I am actually very caught up in my own world. I do the same thing every day. I get up dreading that moment I walk into those doors. Learning does not interest me as much as going into my own world and dreaming of what I can become? Who I will be, and how I am going to get there. I see all the kids in the halls who rule this jungle and do everything to stay out of there way. High school is there kingdom and I am under there rule. I come home wishing i would run into someone, somewhere bring a little adventure to my life. Then it happens I accidently get into a car wreck. Great I am thinking, this would happen to me. But then I see him. His enthusiasm and arrogance resonates off of him and I can tell he is someone. Someone I need to meet and get to know. He can bring adventure to my life. We become friends and then he shows me his secret. A pill, no not a drug but an enhancer. It will give you ideas and feelings you can't even dream of.
Questions:
What will Colton do when he takes the pill?
Will him and this person remain friends?
Will Colton leave everything behind and go into a new world?

Shake The Dust

This is for the children.
The children who are starving and always have to work.
This is for the school dork.
The ones that just can't stay away from the pork. Walk This Way.
This is for the star that's never born.
The ones that are always torn. Walk This Way.
This is for the first one in the classroom.
The one that always has to use the family broom. Walk This Way.
This is for the people who can't stay away from the hospital bed.
For ones that just wish they were dead.
This is for the tired, and the dreamers. Walk This Way.
This is for the men that just can't get past that one thing.
For the kids that have nothing to bring. Walk This Way.
This is for the high schooler who only has one shirt.
Those who have the table all to themselves.
For the kid that's pissed off and also pissed on.
Walk This Way.

Ghandi

I think to much
Think about life
What am I suppose to be doing?
I saw Larry the Cable Guy once
I took on his motto
Get Ur Done
I keep forgetting to have fun
I keep forgetting to get things done
But I'm trying
I wonder what I could have done
Whose life could I have made better?
Whose life have I made worse?
I love life

Jealousy: Harlem

What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?
It is so realistic that is what makes me jealous of this. It creates a visual image in my head and I really like that. I think that this is true also which makes me jealous of this. A dream that is deferred is as good as gone.
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise
This poem inspires me to do better and when you can make that connection with your readers you know you have written a great poem. It also makes me feel good inside while reading it, I thouroughly enjoy reading this poem cause it makes me happy.

Love

Love is pushing your son in a wheelchair. Love is staying up all night. Love is giving up what you want so your son can have what he wants. Love is working 2 jobs so your family can have food on the table. Love is never letting go. Love is carrying your son accross the finish line. Love is a never ending story. Love is reading the same story over and over. Love is running into the house while all the firefighters run out. Love is helping in a time of need. Love is giving up your time to help. Love is waking up early while your family sleeps in. Love is laying in bed thinking about what they are doing.

Xbox

Today after my parents yelled at me to get off the xbox before they throw it away, I was thinking about the gaming community in general. I wonder how many people in the world have been negatively effected by xbox. I would say that 99 percent of people on xbox live have once in there life sat there and thought I should be doing this but instead i am playing xbox. Then they just continue to play. You may ask why and I would say because it is addicting and fun. People like to play video games and even more they like to play with there friends. But honestly I can't say that it has helped me in my life except for something to do when I am bored. Even after I realized this what did I do? I went over and started playing again. I will stop playing xbox eventually... when I die!!

Boulevard of Broken Dreams

I walk alone. I walk alone. There is heavy cloud cover in the skies. It's getting darker and darker. The thunder is getting closer and closer. Why am i wearing shorts? I walk alone. I walk alone. Someone is at the other end of the street. There dark eyes staring down at me. You could hear a pin drop it is so quiet. There is a poster of a rap concert on the wall covered in graffiti. Graffiti is everywhere, gangs trying to claim there territory. I walk alone. I walk alone. The shadow creeps closer and closer to me. A bussiness card blows with the wind. Glass is all over the ground from shattered windows. It starts to rain. I walk alone. I walk alone. Casings of ammo cover the sidewalks. As do red and blue bandannas on each end of the street. The person passes by deep in thought of what had just happened. I walk alone. I walk alone. Voices in my head fighting back and forth like a bout between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier. You can feel the sadness in the air. Dreams being shattered. Will new ones come to life? I walk alone. I walk alone.

Thinking About You

Im thinking about you like cops think about robbers. Like robbers think about stealing. Like everyone thinks about stealing but robbers actually do it. Im thinking about you like cookies think about milk. Like pencils think about paper. Like Summer thinks about sun and Winter thinks about snow. Im thinking about you like Donald Trump thinks about money. Like everyone thinks about money. Im thinking about you like bloggers think about blogging. Like I think about blogging... about you! Im thinking about you like birdman thinks about tatoos. Like Michael Jordan thinks about basketball. Like Tiger Woods thinks about golf...and women. Like Tiger Woods thinks about women... but not you. Im thinking about you like ipods think about music. Like ketchup thinks about mustard. Im thinking about you like gamers think about gaming and people think about blaming. Im thinking about you like starving people think about food. Like fat people think about... well food. Like the girl of your dreams is thinking about another dude. I just can't stop thinking about YOU!

Intro

Hello, my pen name is the lone wolf and sometimes that is just how I feel... lonely. I don't know who I can trust around me and it feels like the world is just going to fast. I am not a very good writer and that is why I am taking this class. I have thoughts just like everyone else but I can't get my ideas onto paper sometimes. I want to be able to write about me and how i am feeling as the days go on. I want to make people interested in this blog and I am really going to work hard on it. I am the lone wolf and I believe in the ability of hard work. "The people who fulfill there dreams are the ones who work while they dream."
