You or somebody else

You or somebody else
By Alexandra Greer

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be someone new or someone different?
What if you were a rock star?
Blowing the world to there feet with outstanding music
What if you were an astronaut?
Exploring the moon, one giant leap at a time.
What if you were a teacher?
Tell those children how to learn something grow up to be heroes to all
What if you were you?
Growing up in a world of difference, a world of change.
Being someone your not is hard
being you is the simplest thing.
Even if you hate where your going right now
your future can change but only if you have your eye on the prize

You and the Trees

You and the trees
By Alexandra

Where are the trees
you know the ones that you lean on?
Well they are everywhere
But what if they were gone
you would lean on nothing but thin air
if the trees were gone you could lean on the bushes
but you might fall in
you could lean on a flower
but you are too tall
you could lean
on me because I am your friend
Friends are there for one another always
if I were your tree we could talk forever
never have to worry about not being friends
never not see each other
never ever lose

Our Eyes

Our Eyes
By Alexandra Greer

As I look into your eyes
I see pain
Way more than can be imagined
I can almost feel it
I thought my life was hard
“I am so sorry”
You don’t budge, do you hear?
“I am sorry”
You heard me but no answer
You just kept staring
I don’t see pain anymore
But
Happiness
“What happened you were sad a second ago? Weren’t you?”
Once again no answer
“What's wrong? Why won’t you talk to me?”
I thought I was the only one in the world afraid to talk to people
You still won’t answer
“Are you scared of me?
If you are I am sorry!”
You just keep looking at me
Are you intrigued with the ugly?
“Why, I won’t answer, it is because, I don’t know what to say
I could start by saying
your eyes glow like the stars and the moon
You smile is like snow, sparkling
Your hair is lovely
I am intrigued with the beauty
I want you to know of no ugly”
What do you see in me I am just me, nothing but a small fat person?
“Look at her over there, she is lovely,
Skinny,
Gorgeous,
And not fat!”


”She may be those things but she does
Not have eyes that glow and sparkle like yours!”
