Chapter 5 - Danger poem

Tubing

Beautiful sunny day

No cloud in sight

Water sparkling like diamonds

Drifting slowly down river

Laughing

Tanning

Smiling

Another wonderful summer day

Then…….

Water all around me

Trying to gasp for air

Panic is only thing on my mind

Where is the other girls?!

Stuck in the under current

The water didn’t want to let me surface

Finally free from its grasp

Gasping for air

Like it was going out of style

Find the other girls choking on water

We are all okay

Wondering what happened

And realized we hit a big boulder

Tipped us all into the water

How scared we all were at that moment

Till this day I am scared of the water

Scared of tubing

Scared of under currents

But one day I will conquer it

And feel the freedom of summer once again

Chapter 6 - Letter-to-an-enemy poem

Ignoring at its Best

I caught myself acting how I never thought I would ever be like… you.

How you held on to grudges for years.

Never talking to me,

Or even looking at me when we passed one another.

I remember it made me feel like nothing.

Like I was a waste of space.

But today I caught myself feeling so angry and upset.

Treating someone exactly that way.

I felt ashamed and forgiveness overwhelmed me.

It opened my eyes that holding onto that hatred made me more weaker.

I forgive you for making me feel worthless,

Because I know it hurt you more than me.

I hope this letter opens your eyes in how it made me feel,

And realize friendship is worth more than enemies.

Chapter 8 - Syllabics poem

Life Changes

Forever young at heart

Wise beyond my years though

Forever daddy’s girl

Loved by many but not

Depression once ate me

Burnt bridges of many

Alone with tears and ache

World was dark, grey, and cold

True love came and changed me

Now born a new women

With purpose, goals, and care

Left the demons behind

Opened doors to success

Couldn’t be happier

Time to prepare for new

Motherhood not easy

But...
