Who I'd Like To Be, by: Kayla Rogers

When you ask me who I am or who I’d like to be.
I can just chuckle and look into the mirror and clearly say me.
I feel that being myself is what I was put on this earth to do.
And I would obviously give you the same advice to just be you.
All my life this question appears of who I’d like to be.
I’ve came up with a new answer and that’s to be patient and you’ll see.

This poem is just like so many people, no one should be like anyone else but yourself because there is no one else that is just like you. You can not find another one made like you are. So why try to be some one different? It doesn't show who you really are, and maybe people will like you better if you are who your suppose to be. Don't be the type of person to blend in with the crowd. STAND OUT. You hear this all the time, "life is too short", and its true, you only have one shot at life, so why waste it.

Remember Memorize Anticipate, by: Leah McCarty

Remember the past
Memorize the present
Anticipate the future

There is a difference between living in the past, and remembering the past. Memories is such a good thing, but dont go back and live them when you can make more right infront of you. The present is a gift, so live it up. No need to dream about the future, the future will be here faster than you'll want it to come. Whats a great memory you have, maybe one that makes you who and where you are today?

Messy Room, by: Shel Silverstein

Whosever room this is should be ashamed!
His underwear is hanging on the lamp.
His raincoat is there in the overstuffed chair,
And the chair is becoming quite mucky and damp.
His workbook is wedged in the window,
His sweater's been thrown on the floor.
His scarf and one ski are beneath the TV,
And his pants have been carelessly hung on the door.
His books are all jammed in the closet,
His vest has been left in the hall.
A lizard named Ed is asleep in his bed,
And his smelly old sock has been stuck to the wall.
Whosever room this is should be ashamed!
Donald or Robert or Willie or--
Huh? You say it's mine? Oh, dear,
I knew it looked familiar!

If you are like me, this sounds like something my mother would say. My room is rarely ever clean to "her standards", unless she comes in and cleans my room herself. But some things she just doesnt understand. She needs to learn that even with all the clutter, i can find everything i need. Have you ever had a parent come into your room in disgust and yelling to clean your room?
