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.

Complaints

Im tired of always asking

Im tired of homework

Im tired of trying to please other people

Im tired of not having a job

Im tired of not having money

Im tired of doing the same things over and over again.

Im tired of Utah

Im tired of disappointing people

Im tired of people telling me what to do

Im tired of high school

Im tired of being tired

Im tired of not having a slampiece to make me sammich

Im tired of being bored

Im tired of bad music (Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Kesha)

Im tired of not having a car

Im tired of some people

Im tired of attendance school

Im tired of being judged

Im tired of the drama

Im tired of SAT time

Im tired of the radio

Im tired of people complaining

Im tired of me complaining

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!!
