My Sorority

 

“You know us by the pink and green,

and the air of style and grace;

You’ll probably notice a quiet confidence plastered on each face.

Founded At Howard University, it was the first one of its kind;

The first African American Sorority.

The others came on down the line.

Alpha Kappa Alpha is the name,

it’s a name I’m proud to share;

With some of the most distinctive women you’ll find anywhere.”

Argument Essay

 Gobble, Gobble, Gobble!

Hey please don’t eat me! I promise there are so many other delicious foods you can enjoy instead. Have you seen the feast waiting for you? There are greens, beans, mac and cheese, corn, cornbread, mashed potatoes, stuffing, rolls, and even those cinnamon-sweet yams. Honestly, with all that food, do you really need me on the table?

Think about it, I'm not just a turkey. I’m a talented, friendly, hard-working bird! I help clean up crumbs, I keep the yard interesting, and I even practice my gobbling every morning. If you eat me, who will gobble the sunrise? Who will waddle in silly circles to entertain you?

Besides, I’ve been doing extra cardio lately, and trust me, that does not make for a tender turkey. Tough as old boots, that's me! You’d probably enjoy a nice warm plate of mac and cheese way more.

So please, let me live to gobble another day. With all the amazing food you have, I’m sure you won’t even miss me. And if you do… I can always dance for you instead. Deal?

Gobble on!

I have a big heart. 

And sometimes i hate it 

I overthink,

Apologize too much,

Forgive too easy 

Worry to much 

About people who

Don't care about me 

I feel guilty 

For things 

I have no control over,

And i feel lonely 

Because im afraid 

I won't find anyone 

Who loves me 

As deeply as i do  

Never say you want me 

If you can never give me time 

Never say u like me 

When u can't comfort me 

Don't say i love you 

When you say the same words to her too 

Never say you'll try

When you just make me cry

I will always fall for your traps

Manipulation plan so intract 

The words i swallow 

The things left unsaid 

Will they ever be spoken 

All i think about is how you left 

So selfish so clueless 

Making me think I'm stupid

i can blame myself 

But maybe u were never the same .

Never Give Up

Life’s a journey 
twist and turns
Lessons taught
lesson learned
moments fleeting
time won’t stay
like the tide
it drifts away
dreams may rise
dreams my fall
stand back and take it all 
through the storms though the rain strength is born inside the pain
love may lift 
love may break 
but it’s the risk we’re meant to take every shadow every scar 
make you who you truly are 
chase the light 
embrace the fight
darkest roads still leads to bright
no mistake can hold you still
move away 
you always will

Flowers

Flowers are red.

Flowers are blue.

Flowers are violet

and purple flowers

bloom.

Just like us.

We are flowers

We are beautiful

and we bloom

We are dark and light

and we are not the same

We are flowers

That

We are to claim.
