—
Tears of pain
Not knowing what to do
To end the tears
Why can’t I be happy
Why was it taken away
What do I need to do
To feel the joy again.
A place to show my work

Tears of pain
Not knowing what to do
To end the tears
Why can’t I be happy
Why was it taken away
What do I need to do
To feel the joy again.

Eyes are watching
Every move that you make
Or are they
Or is it
Your imagination playing tricks again
To scare you
Making you believe
That you are being judged constantly
What’s the truth?

In the forest deep and green,
Lives a bear, not very serene.
Grumpy is his name, you see,
With a frown as big as can be.
He grumbles and growls all day,
Chasing joy and laughter away.
But deep inside, he longs for cheer,
Hoping happiness will soon appear.
With friends by his side, he starts to learn,
That love and caring are things he can earn.
Though grumpy he may always seem,
In his heart, he holds a caring dream.

Squirtle, with a shell so blue,
A water type, so cool and true.
From its tiny form to a mighty Blastoise,
It’s a journey of strength, no need to think twice.
With a mischievous grin and eyes so bright,
Squirtle’s adventures are a wondrous sight.
In battles bold, it gives its all,
For friends and trainers, it stands tall.

In a patch of round pumpkins, one stood square,
Different and unique, but beyond compare.
It inspired others to embrace what makes them distinct,
For in being true to ourselves, we find strength to coexist.

In Sesame Street, there’s a furry blue beast,
Eating cookies, he never seized,
Cookie Monster is his name,
Satisfying his sweet tooth is his game.

Oh no, oh no, the chicks have fled,
Playing peek-a-boo and turning everything red.
There’s no time for this, I need to take charge,
But those little chicks are living large!
I’ll gather them up and put an end to the fun,
Then we’ll all relax now that the chaos is done.

Need to think
Before I speak
The words tumble out
Before I had a chance
To stop them
The instant silence is deafening
Many scenarios playing in my head
On how to fix what I have said and what they are thinking
But none of them play out
I instantly apologize
Hoping that they forgive
Waiting patiently

Flowers
May these flowers
Shower you with power to
Face another day?

On the 4th of July, all dressed in red, white, and blue,
We celebrate America, and all the fun things we can do.
We watch fireworks light up the sky,
And have a barbecue with burgers and apple pie.
We wave flags and march in a parade,
And spend time with family, not in the shade.
So, let’s cheer for the USA, our land so grand,
Happy 4th of July let’s give a hand!

Oh Joshua Tree, it has been a spell
I need to visit soon, I can already tell
How I have missed you, under the sky so free
And the things I can see, make my soul flee

The Grim Reaper is a sight to see,
With cloak and scythe, as tall as can be.
He roams around with a wicked grin,
But don’t worry, he’s just here to win!
With a laugh that sends shivers down your spine,
He’s not as scary as he seems, most of the time.
So if you meet him, don’t let out a peep,
He’s just doing his job, so let him reap!

One day I decided to draw a castle. At the time that I drew this it was the most challenging thing that I have ever drawn. I love how it came out and I like the way that I colored it.
