The Disease of This Year

 

The Disease of This Year

It’s a disease.

The first very sign of this disease is

putting work off to do more “important” things.

Following that,

they don’t study to get points.

Then,

people who have this disease

will start getting tired

every single day!

Soon,

it will take the person’s GPA downhill.

This disease is very harmful once a person catches it.

Adults say this disease isn’t real,

it’s just people slacking and being lazy.

I’ve got to say that this disease is real

because

I am now diagnosed with Senioritis.

I’m Here Again

 

I’m Here Again

 

The land was green from the forest and jungle. There was a river flowing by. That was the past. As I was there again today, I hear BANG! BANG! BANG! from guns. I also hear BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! from the bombs. As I fly through villages that were attack, I hear cries of pain and hurt on the inside and outside of their souls.

 

The land was green from the forest and jungle. There was a river flowing by. That was the past. As I was there again today, I see innocent people in pain. Their eyes were raining. I also see many and many on the ground. They aren’t moving.

 

The land was green from the forest and jungle. There was a river flowing by. That was the past. As I was there again today walking above the ground in the jungle I see a man digging a hole. He then started to put some bamboos in the hole. 

 

 The land was green from the forest and jungle. There was a river flowing by. That was the past. As I was there again today flowing with the wind I see many soldiers in battles. They were shooting people who they think it’s their enemy but just human beings like them. As I watch one soldier running toward his so call enemy, he fell right into one of their trap I saw before. The tears of the soldier came immediately down from his eyes.

 

The land was green from the forest and jungle. There was a river flowing by. That was the past. As I was there again today sitting in a tall tree looking up I see a helicopter bring more troops into the battle. I also see from far away jets dropping bombs where they aren’t supposed to bomb. There were other jets spraying these orange rain or spraying these gassy rain.

 

The land was green from the forest and jungle. There was a river flowing by. That was the past. As I was there again today popping my head into the soldiers’ tent, they look bored and tried. Most of the soldiers were sleeping.

 

The land was green from the forest and jungle. There was a river flowing by. That was the past. As I was there again today, I pray for the hurt and pain to stop. I know that it will be long before it will stop. My soul will not be in peace until it stops.

Npaum Lub Hli

Npaum lub hli nyob deb
ua ci ntsa iab rau yus pom.
Yim ntsia 
yim ci dua qhov qub.
Yeej paub tias taws tsis tau
los tseem taws.
Txawm taws tsawg zog 
los tsis hnov mob.
Nyiam koj npaum lub hli.

Siab Ntev Tos

Hmong

Kuv paub tias koj tseem mob,

Yog tsis muaj dab tsi

Xav qhia

Koj tseem muaj leej twg

Nyob hauv siab

Tseem nco txog

Tus uas koj mob siab

Kuv mam coj xws li qub

Kom koj txhob paub txog

Kuv lub siab

Ces yog hnub kuv tso tau koj mus.

Ncauj Hais, Siab Paub

Ncauj Hais, Siab Paub

Lub ncauj tias tso
los tso tsis tau.
Ncauj tias tshuav txoj kev hlub ua luaj
li ib lub txhuv.
Tab si, nws luaj li txhia lub txhuv.
Lub ncauj tias tsis mob
los yeej mob.
Vim tuas tej hnub kuv tseem ntsib koj
thiab txhia hnub tseem xav txoj koj.

----Sylvia

Tseem Mob

Tseem Mob 

Lub ncauj tias "tsis mob"
los nws yeej mob.
Lub siab no

Tseem mob,
thaum nws pom koj
thiab xav txoj koj.
Kuv lub me siab
tseem mob
vim koj.

Tej Tub

Peb yog neeg sib paub
los peb tsis sib paub.
Kuv xav los nrog txuas lus
thiab xav los paub nej zoo.
Tab si, kuv kum ntshai,
ntshai cas nej tsis xav.
Dag laug tej tub,
vim nej ntxim nyiam;
kuv yeej tsis xav li cas
yog nej xav los txuas lus
thiab ua phooj ywg.

Layer

I'm proud of what I did.
Every time I do something out of my comfort,
there is a new layer.
A new layer full of
beginnings 
and chances.
A new me that is still me.


----Sylvia

Seeing Him

I see him almost everyday.
I pass him in the hallway.
I have a few  classes with him.
I want to say hi when I see him.
Just looking at him, I'm happy.
I'm walking with a friend,
he walks up and takes her hand.
I say bye to her
and feel happy for her.
The inside of me hurts
and is sad
but at the same time,
I'm happy to see him.
I know I'm not in his eyes
but he is in mine.

My Wedding

My white dress
and hair
flows with the wind
on the beach.
The sand is smooth
against my feet
as I walk.
I look into the future
and see my wedding.
I pull my left hand up
but there is no ring.
My wedding disappears
as I sit on the beach
looking at the sunset.
I close my eyes
as my body turns into sand.

Guide Me Back

I don't want to know
but my heart does.
I don't want to admit
but I have to.
The path I had follow,
I took a wrong turn.
I'm lost,
lost in this life maze.
I need a friend to guide me to
the path I was supposed to 
follow.
I need a friend.
