Passing Glance

I fall to the floor,
People pass me by without a glance,
I do not exist,
I wear all black,
And in the corner where i fall i am nothing but a shadow,

Soon no one passes by,
And i am alone,
Wondering if anyone will pass by again,
Wondering if anyone just anyone,
Will spare a passing glance.

The Caged Bird

The caged bird sits there in his cage,
Singing into the wind,
Not a happy song,
But a sad song,
Hoping that some that someone will come rescue him,
He sees another bird,
It’s the prettiest bird he’s ever seen,
He sings the loudest he’s ever sang,
In the happiest of ways,
The other bird looks at him, but it is only a passing glance,
Then she flies away,

Crazy Story

Bob got into his automatic automobile. He noticed a hyperactive man carrying a television. The man soon fell into a cold pond and caught hypothermia. When he got to the doctor he finally confessed that he was completely submerged under water. The doctor told him that he would have to take a physical while being spectated in a polyester shirt. In retrospect he was diagnosed to be antisocial.

Super Powers

I wish I could have super powers it’s so hard to choose there are so many cool super powers that anyone would love to have. It’s very difficult to decide. I guess a cool power would be the power to create food. I mean food that I can literally make appear out of nowhere and any food I want.
