Together You are Strong and Wise

O Me! Oh Life!
Period 4 – Class Poem

The answer is easy – without quakes there isn’t stability –without pain there is no peace
Don’t be an empty thought in another’s head
I tried to obey, but it is all around me
Everyone gets knocked down a lot in life, what matters is the number of times you get back up

You cannot prepare what is coming next, but here are some words of encouragement
“prepare to be surprised”
Keep holding on
We need to live

Finding a line between being rash and being fair, cannot always be easy
The words help me understand
To know that I can live is knowledge enough for me to keep on trying
Lift the dark veil, open your eyes, look around you and you will find all that you need

Soon a bright glow shall pierce its way through the unborn sight
And then you may finally call life your life
This mighty ride has just begun
Have someone remember you for your good and your life will have been for the better


Living is not existing
Grow family bonds so strong they’ll never break
Reach out and spread sunshine into your heart
Now at this time, this fake love shall never die
The sun will never die and the stars will never fall

The list of those with the potential to succeed is endless
Pain can be solved
Somethings in the world will never be done if you’re not the person to do them
Living is not existing

Together You are Strong and Wise

O Me! Oh Life!
Period 3 – Class Poem

Going to a place where there is no reason to hide
The pain I go through still has a purpose; it causes me to come and rejoice
The point is not just being one, but working as a whole
But it’s life

When are we going to accept that we are different, but the same
Let’s have an impact on others
Don’t leave your mark in the sand, leave your own marks in the rocks where it will stay forever
Life is like a stream, twisting and turning, rising and falling

We all must learn to love this life, because it’s the only one we’ve got
Do more for people you meet, and help those you haven’t met
Do we let others decide for us, because we are too busy judging ourselves?
For in the end it’s all for naught, for the little time on stage you’ve got

We are all drops, but together we make scenery
Too miraculous to describe, the feeling of belonging, of knowing someone cares
Residing in our hearts forever more
Yet it is not just they who do this, for we too give them something to grasp in life
A reason to hold on

They’ll teach you as you teach them, and better all will be
What are we to be, anything we want
Don’t be a wanderer, floating through life with no purpose, no meaning, no self-respect
Showing care and respect will soon make a domino effect

Life may seem hard, but the outlook is better
Some might seem weak, but then, who’s strong
Yet who am I to say nothing is right and nothing is wrong?
But it’s life
