Poem: You Can Do It

 Yes! You can do it.

 When you believe in yourself.

 You will succeed.

 Others say I can do it,

 But only if I try will I succeed;

 Your good at this,

 Your good at that,

 Struggle to be able to do it tomorrow.

 It’s not enough that you can.

 Help others to be able too,

 Knowing that you can,

 Also means you can succeed.

 Supporting each other we can,

 With cooperation everyone can.

 Going in everyway is good,

 And creativity is best.

School Poem

My name's Kalik.
my favorite teachers are Miss Saunders and Miss Mitchell
sometimes I do Kahoot with them
it be fun when me and Ms. Mitchell do math
it sometimes be hard for me
but I take my time
and think hard.

Rainy Day!

It all began on a rainy day,

with nothing to do,
nothing else but to pick up your rain boots 
and raincoat, and head on out to play.

I bet you can hear the thunder booming,
And the rain splattering on the wet ground.
You don’t wanna play alone in the rain

Well do you?

So you skip

and hop 

to go get your friend.

Then,

you and your friends

skip, jump, and hop in the puddles

And you danced and sang and everything you could possibly dream of.     

         

Then you go in and out changing outfit after outfit

just to go back in the rain.

You guys have so much fun playing tag, and hide and seek.

But when the fun ends

your friends

so sad but happy

you spend so much time

together

in the rain.

All Lives Matter

Life does not count on you,

you count on yourself.                                                                                                                  no matter how sad you are,                                                                                                          people are there for you,

the world might shame you,                                                       

but don’t shame yourself,                                                                                                              family loves, not give, don’t give up                                                                            

live another day, your skin, your hair,                                                                       

everything about you is amazing,  

all lives matter, black and white 

but don’t be ashamed                                                         

we are the same people ,                                                                                                   

with different names,

we are the same color,

but with different shades, 

love yourself and be ok, 

try and stay on your feet, 

do what you want, 

don’t be shamed,

go to stores,

and get what you need, 

don’t hate your race, because other people hate, 

love yourself and never hate the enemy, 

negros and whites always been to war, 

this year never go to war with people you hate, 

your beautiful no matter what 

don’t listen to people

try and love 

gun violence and deaths, 

this world is crazy, 

stop gun violence 

stop deaths 

stop race shame

this world is full of crazy things

stay calm and steady, 

stay nice and and ready, 

stay good.

Don’t hate, love

don't fight 

Tall, short, thin, and fat, 

we are the same things

hair flowing,

us growing,

people feels free,

give us what we need,

viruses killing, 

we need more healing, 

things dying, 

more people lying,

people framing, 

everybody shaming ,

People stealing,

then they killing,

animals dying

,people crying,

things are  dirty, 

people hurting,

why why why i ask…

they say we die die die, 

why are we killing? 

how about you? 

do the opposite

start healing 

i speak my mind,

and i get more dimes, 

i laugh then  i cry,

i’m mad then i'm sad, 

but with everybody 

i don't laugh

i dont cry

i’m not mad then i'm not sad 

i’m crying happy tears

that means love.

Poem

 

                                                           Fire in my Heart                             

                                                    While I'm standing with fear.

                                                     Rolling down was my tears.

                                                       As I see years go by.

                                                     Without you by my side.

                                                           It was like fire.

                                                     It's not what you desire. 

                                                      As you leave me here. 

                                                  I will watch you up there. 

                                               But as long as you're by my side. 

                                               I already know you're classified. 

                                              Really upset that you had to die.

                                                 But I really try not to cry.

Poem

Brown Skin Girl

Brown skin girl
our skin is like pearls
those beautiful nappy curls         
Most people don't know

the best thing in the world

natural and Negro beauty.

Most people hate us,

but you know,

we chose to live our black lives
even if it brings us down.

We build up high
We touch the sky.
So what if we’re different?
So what if we’re not rich,
So what if I’m black?

Some people think
it makes us feel better

if they say stuff like
“I don’t see your blackness, I see you for you”
but, if you don’t see my blackness,
you don’t see me.

I AM NEGRO. I AM BLACK. I AM ME.

Poem

                                Dance

When I dance I feel happy and proud

When I dance I never feel down

It's something about the sound 

that makes me,

spin around

When I spin around 

the air goes with me

I love dance and dance, 

loves me.
