The Daily Routine

The daily routine of work and school
Leaves me feeling exhausted
Work in the bipolar weather is cruel
So cruel that it became so hot that my co-worker fainted!

On some occasions I would park cars that were quite the sight
My schedule became working five days a week
The daily routine would be leaving at midnight
This job was very unique due to some cars being antique

However at the end of the day I have the greatest feeling of relief
A sense of security knowing that there's money in the bank
School and work is now a strong belief
It feels great to always get a full gas tank.

Summer vacation is right around the corner
and high school will be ending
I can't wait to be with those have stayed by shoulder
I have not gone out with them ever since I have been working at these weddings.

March

The thought of graduation left me contemplating
I will never see some of these people ever again
My highs school career was slowly fading
Sooner than later we were becoming young women and men

Seeing my friends in the hallways will become a memory
It was just yesterday when I attended homeroom for the first time
But now I am a senior and I have to finish off the year properly
High school was such an incredible climb

I am seven months into finishing my final year of high school
And I don't know how I survived a full school day without a free
It's crazy how as middle schools we thought of ourselves as cool
But now some of us are enlisting in the army

I am excited to spend these last few months with my class
We are young adults and will hopefully make the world a better place
The memories that I made in highschool will forever last
The people I have grown with will never be replaced.

January Woes

January came with many hardships and disappointments
From a concussion to many dentist appointments
I found out that my wisdom teeth had to be extracted
because most of my wisdom teeth were impacted.

Moments after my surgery, I felt an intense pain in my mouth
This was an indication that my month would be heading south.
I stayed in bed for most of the week due to the swelling.
I did not exit my room which became my main dwelling.

I knew school work was accumulating with each day I missed.
Life in the new year was turning out to be a downward twist.
Yet, I had to keep my head up and have hope.
At this point in the month, I felt like I was climbing an endless rope.

Making up tests and my schoolwork were very time consuming.
However once all the work was finished, I felt my happiness blooming.
The month of January taught me a lot about disappointment and setbacks
School was awaiting me and I could not wait for my comeback.

November Chores

November leaves which is what I had to rake
I had to hurry up for goodness sake
All I wanted to do was go out with my friends
But I had to wash my father's Mercedes Benz.

Washing cars and taking care of the lawn were my tasks
Oh how long will this hard work and misery last
The wind pressed against my cold sweat
My day was closing fast and the sky turned into a sunset

My friends kept calling me over and over again
The pile of leaves were as big as NFL linemen
My chores were just about done
And I was ready to have some fun

I grabbed my cell phone and keys
And read a text that my friends and I were going to play ultimate Frisbee
This was a very productive day
I'm glad that now I can relax and play.

October: Concert

MGK and Meek Mill were only a line away.
Hundreds of people lined up to this dynamic pair.
My friends and I waited forever for this day.
This concert was going to be a fun affair.

We entered the Teaneck Armory
Fans crowded and surrounded the stage.
MGK appreciated the fans' flattery.
and he began to rap his music and the fans were engaged.

I'ma wild boy echoed the venue
The crowd became rowdy and insane.
The volume of the music was not an issue.
Balloons began to fall from the sky as if it were rain.

The night began to close.
The concert was just about done.
Everyone in the crowd arose.
My friends and I had a lot of fun.

September: The Last Day of Summer

"I must make the last day of summer an unforgettable ride,"
I remember saying to myself.
I took my keys, a light coat, and headed outside.
My freshly finished summer work was on the shelf
And I was ready to enjoy my last day summer

The step outside was a breath of fresh air.
I opened the door to my car and pushed in the clutch.
I reversed the dragon outside its lair
and headed toward a midnight lunch.

Chicken and rice was the goal
and I was determined to finish this food quest.
My friend accompanied me on my late night stroll.
In twenty short minutes, we were at the cart that was better than the rest.

The city lights blinded me as the chef took my order
and I waited patiently for my juicy succulent chicken.
Leaning on a sign that said do not loiter
I ate without a moment of hesitation.

The drive home was filled with good feelings
and the lights of the George Washington Bridge were more beautiful than ever.
Life at that time had no ceilings.
The night before school couldn't have been better.
