  • RANDOM WORDS FROM THE HEART

    by JAYLEN

    Pizza in my mouth
    Books in my locker
    Heart in my ribcage
    Stove in my kitchen
    Spoon in my mouth
    Rainbow under a tree
    Door on my face
    Hand on someone’s face
    Peanut butter on jelly
    Lemonade on a roof
    Milky Way in my dream
    Faith in my heart.

  • WRECKING BALL, A PARODY

    by NIAYA

    We dumped, we threw
    Our trash and knew
    The wrong we were causing to.

    This world smells
    Bad and I’m so sad
    Just think of our future selves.

    Don’t you see my peeps
    This world really reeks
    and it’s all because of us.

    Can’t you see what
    We’ve become,
    Destroying what we’ve worked
    So hard to love?
    Don’t you wanna see
    Your kids grow up
    Or do you wanna
    Die of carbon dioxide,
    Just fall to the ground
    And die?

    And you’ll just wonder why
    Pollution leads to global warming
    And sea levels will rise

    Floods will appear,
    Everything will disappear
    And nothing will be left.

    Don’t say you’re sorry,
    You’re still doing the same thing,
    Trashing up your own place.

    Look at what we’ve done,
    Throwing trash and forgetting
    How it’s left a mark.

    This world has been through enough,
    Throwing all our trash out our cars.
    All of it piles up.

    And we’ll never see this world in peace
    And we’ll never see this world in peace

  • LIFE IS LIKE A VIDEO GAME

    by CHRISTOPHER

    Waking up like the game just loaded.
    Hear the alarm, shut it off and go back to sleep,
    Save my progress and wake up. Take a
    Shower, get dressed and brush my teeth
    Like a person playing me, wondering what’s next
    Today. Put on shoes, running to the bus
    stop like someone pressing A A A A A A A
    A A A Stop! I’m thinking. When I get
    On the bus, same thing, save all the progress
    That has been done. Coming to school, eating breakfast
    To refuel the energy. Going to class, time limit up
    On the screen. 30 29 28, till it gets to zero, I
    Made it on time. School work is like a mission,
    Don’t finish it – you get a F for fail. Gym – getting
    Fit, getting stronger and ready for life. Changing
    Clothes like getting ready to tell the president
    “we are going to war.” Lunch – refilling your energy.
    Science – learning how to survive on the land, like
    Making things that your body needs. Band – learning
    How to play, A button = high note, B button= low
    Note. Learn a little math. Socializing, in your
    Brain picking what to say. A = say something, B= say nothing.
    Social studies, learning about the world like on a
    Game picking which place to go. Last but not
    Least – get my stuff, save the game and come
    To Exclusive Ink.

  • IT WAS SO DARK

    by ADAM

    It was so dark, suddenly
    cloudy. She went to catch
    her train, that led to nowhere.
    Silence, as her shadow followed her
    to take her seat, while she
    watches the wet faces outside
    the train window, everything
    that had any meaning, or
    any color.

    It became dark outside the
    train, and the apparition of faces
    got really wet,
    staring out of a dark window
    there were wet lonely children faces.

  • HOW TO LOVE

    by JAMILA

    You love from the heart hoping your lover will never part.
    You give it your all even if you have to fall.
    Love is not just a word,
    it’s a feeling too, like singing the blues.
    You’ll know you’re in love
    based on the clues.
    Your hearts will stick together like glue.
