The Feeling

Love is not just a feeling
Something not subject to stealing
But rather an expression
Is most definite an obsession

People get trapped looking for love
They don’t understand it gets sent from above
The want for true love can get to them
But the hardships are worth the gem

Love is not easy
At times it may seem cheesy
In the end it’s worth the price
Cause the feeling you feel is unexplainably nice

Wish and wish upon a shooting star
Seems so near but yet so far
Most of the time its right there
But you’re stuck in a constant stare

Love is not something you can own
But something longed for when alone
All the long and tedious nights
After the unbearable fights

Love is something I feel
It’s warmer than a hot meal
So go ahead and look
It may be the biggest challenge I ever took

Bullying

Bullying happens everywhere
It isn’t very fair
Why do people do it
Just for sheer whit

The people getting bullied don’t find it funny
They hate it when you run away with their lunch money
Why do they deserve that
They hate it when you call them fat

Just because some don’t act the same
They shouldn’t be the one to blame
Why do people act that way

Global Warming

The worlds getting hot
Due to the things in the parking lot
We’re hurting the world in masses
Thanks to the green house gasses

The warmth is melting the ice caps
The world is doomed perhaps
We have to change our ways
If we wish for future days

Cars aren’t the only reason
Other man made products are committing treason
The smog is becoming so thick
