I'm the little girl. When I was 5
years old, my mom always told me
happyness was the key to life.
When I went to school we had to do
on assignment what we wanted to be when I grew
up. I wrote down "happy" they told me
I don't understand the assignment & I told
them that they didn't understand life.

A kid that also loves to party.
I am the one dancing on the table.
It makes it easier to see
The life of poetry
Brings out the man in me
So next time you think your tough
or the next time you think your bough
just right some poetry
and you will be surrounded by your friend
and not your worst enemy
that is lurking inside of the
Then when you realize you like it.
You will write and write.
Untill there is a dark gloomy night
and no one is in sight.

I see a boy that is hard on the outside.

So if you be good and don't hert his feelings he
will be an angel from above.
