HALLUCINATION
Derek’s Perspective
I wake up in a hospital. Someone was hanging over me. It was kind of creepy. I looked around and realized I was the one in the hospital bed. I stared up at the person looking down at me.
I asked, “Why am I in a hospital, and who are you?”
They responded, “You were in a coma. Ты drank too much diet soda. Ты passed out. Ты kept screaming out, ‘CARTER! CARTER!’ and flailing your arms around. Ты kept saying, ‘Why, Jesse, why?’ We had to put Ты in a straightjacket so Ты wouldn’t harm yourself или others.”
“Okay, but who are you?”
“I’m your mother, dear. Now take a bite out of these Spaghettios!”
“So was all of that a hallucination?!”
“I suppose so.”
“Where’s my girlfriend?!”
“Dear, you’ve been single for 10 years now.”
“Wait, how old am I then?”
“You’re 32, dear.”
“Wow, I’m a loser, aren’t I?”
“No comment. Anyways, I do believe that Ты are ready to go home, yes?”
“I guess. One еще question, though. Are Ты a hallucination, too?”
She chuckled, “No, dear, I am not a hallucination. Let’s get Ты back to my house.”
“Okay, mum. Let’s head home."

Thursday
Tammie's best friend Hazel likes this boy named Donald. Hazel has been obsessing over him for almost a week now. I am sick and tired of hearing about Donald's butt! I don't know why she would do this but after school yesterday, Tammie told me that she and Donald kissed! Excuse YOU?! Hazel was mad as heck. I never seen smoke come out someone's ears like that. Lets just say that Tammie and Hazel probably won't ever be Друзья again. Bad news is that Tammie will now be obsessing over him. Someone save me from the insanity of this building. Good news is that my mom finally got me a puppy. She swear she hates Животные but I found her cooing to the new puppy. I have been thinking of names for him или her. I don't know if it is even a girl или a boy! What kind of mother doesn't know her own baby's gender. I have to look up how to tell the difference between a boy wiener dog and a girl wiener dog. See ya, awesome sauce blog! (the phrase 'awesome sauce' is very Популярное at my school.)

I write what i feel and try to
make them seem so-real to
you, but all Ты want from me
is honesty.
as i write out the facts
Ты act like Ты don't really
care where my сердце truly is.
Let me tell Ты where it
is, it's in the honesty of my
poetry, deep inside my сердце
it's the only thing that reveals
the emotions deep down inside
my soul.
as i hold onto the emotions
that creates honest Поэзия
that i write, i see Ты looking
at my private diaries understanding
who i want to be.
Ты look at me and Ты
seem to know what i'm
feeling as i'm revealing
to Ты the emotions that
comes from within my
soul.
as i hold the key to this
honest Поэзия that i compose
Ты seem to believe every-little
detail that i have to say to you.

When will this end?
Mass shootings
Terrorist attacks
Police brutality
They say it's just a gun control problem
They say it cannot be fixed
I say the problem is deeper
I say there is hope
When will this end?
Income inequality
Veterans living on the streets, penniless,
Dying by their own hands every day.
Some say they will make America better
But nothing has changed...
And I truly do fear
Nothing ever will
When will Любовь start?
The день we offer a hand to the fallen
Instead of cringing back in shock
And running away
When will our world change?
The день we Любовь too much to kill
The день others' pain becomes our pain
The день we act instead of just talking about it
"It's impossible"
"We're too broken to be mended"
"It's a hopeless battle"
Yes, it's hard, but let us try.

Newly born
Squeals
Pitifully
A tiny voice raised high
Going nowhere
Confined
Confused
A single spot on the page
Then
It grows
And walks in waves and braves the горький wind
Shakily on its spindly legs, it smudges the paper
Пение its first tune
A tiny tune
Twirling and whirling
It grows taller
And tougher
With every beat of its half-grown heart
It grows
Joined by others
They sing together
A forgotten voice
A reflection
Of Остаться в живых symphonies
Tooting their trumpets
They stand to attention
An army of discord
Marching forth
Into a brand new dawn
