Best Friend

Best Friends understand when you say forget it.
Wait forever when you say just a minute.
Stay by your side when you say leave me alone.
Listen for hours when you’re crying on the phone.
As those times we go so crazy people think were high.
The times we make each other laugh until we cry.
All the inside jokes and our remember when.
Those are the reasons why they call us best friends.

Try

I try to make you happy on your worst days.
I try to always be there when your down.
I try not to talk crap about you even though I’m wanting too so bad.
I try to give you advice.
I try to tell you from my point of view even if it’s hurtful to say.
I try to be honest to you all the time.
I try believing you when you don’t speak the truth.
Am I just trying to hard?

Billionaire

I want to be a billionaire so fricking bad.
Buy all of the things I never had.
I want be on the cover of Forbes magazine.
Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen.
Oh every time I close my eyes.
I see my name in shining lights.
A different city every night oh.
I swear the world better prepare.
for when I’m a billionaire.
I want to be a billionaire so fricking bad.

Best

I’m striving for the best and to be number one. I want to be the best of the best. I want to be the most phenomenal person alive. You hit bumps and rocks but you only can push through them. You can’t run away from them because the rocks will come closer and closer towards you until you are no longer left. Every time I make a bad decision I learn from them and make sure it doesn’t happen again. The little things matter to make you very successful.

Party

Party all night.
But you might,
get it slight.
Because of what’s right.
You might lose sight of what’s right.
And now you have a big bite.
It’s light because you aren’t right.

I Made It

I look up to the sky.
And now the World is mine.
I've known it all my life.
I made it, I made it.
I used to dream about, the life I'm living now.
I know that there's no doubt.
I made it, I made it.
Known from the city where no one believed in me
But I never give up the fight.
Yeah, but now on top.
I told you to let it rock
The moneys falling from the sky.
I made it.
I look up to the sky
And now the World is mine
I've known it all my life
I made it, I made it.
I used to dream about, the life I'm living now
I know that there's no doubt.
I made it, I made it.

Falling For You

I don’t know but it, I think maybe falling for you. Dropping so quickly, maybe I should keep this to myself waiting until I know you better I am trying. Not to tell you, but I want to. I’m scared on whatcha you say. So I’m hiding, what I’m feeling. But I’m tired of, holding things inside my head. I have been spending all my time thinking about cha. I don’t know what to I think I’m falling for you. I been waiting, all my life and now I found you. I don’t know what to, I think I’m falling for you.

I Give Up

Even though I haven’t talked to you guys in almost a year I will never forget you guys. I will always have feelings for you guys. No matter how much you guys tell me that I can never be your friend again I will always know what we had was the best feeling for me and hopefully for you too. I tried so hard to change for you guys but nothing worked. I feel like some of you wanted this to happen. I wonder what you really thought of me. I mean my best friend lied to me telling me that we will restart in high school when she knew that we would never restart. Why? Because I talked crap about her? I understand about that. But it hurts me even more that I have changed and I realized it was wrong and she also is realizing it in me too. I’ve never met someone like you before. We were so much alike it was crazy. You were like my sister to me. You came over then I walked to your house the next day and we would never get sick of each other. You made me smile on my worst days. Even if we wouldn’t even speak I knew exactly what you were thinking.

Trust

It takes months to build a great friendship. But also seconds to destroy. Everywhere I go I seem to find a great friendship then destroys in seconds. What do I do? Keep trying to find a better friendship. Or do I back down and give up. Many people try to break me down but fail always occurs upon them. If you say crap to me I will say more crap to you back. Sometimes I make stupid decisions but doesn’t everyone in a relationship? I’m so confused and I have absolutely nowhere to go. Trust is a main key in a relationship with someone. But I just don’t have that yet.

Drop the World

I got ice in my veins .
Blood in my eyes.
Hate in my heart.
Love in my mind.
I see nights full of pain.
Days of the same.
You keep the sunshine.
Save me the rain.
I search but never find.
Hurt but never cry.
I work forever and try.
But I’m cursed so never mind.
And it’s worse, but better times seem further and beyond.
The top gets higher.
The more that I climb.
The spot gets smaller.
And I get bigger.

Path

Have you ever felt that feeling when you meet someone new that she/he will do the same thing that your old friends have done to you? Trying to trust but if feels like it’s going to end up like past relationships with people. Something is just telling me why do I even try? But then the other part of me is trying to be nice to everyone to meet new people and try to figure out the good in my life. I try so hard to be open to anyone and everyone but seems like everyone has something against me. Even though I never did anything to them. Everything changed so drastically after a year and some people that are friends I wonder what happened to their other friends. Everything feels so confusing and just doesn’t know what to do and where to go.

Razors

So it was my best friend’s birthday tomorrow and I didn’t even get her present yet. I had no idea what to get her. I strolled into Wal-mart searching for a present. Then I finally figured out what I was going to get her. I went into the razors section because my best friend didn’t shave her legs yet and we were in 7th grade now. It was a big deal that she didn’t shave her legs. She was the only one not shaving her legs. I ended up buying her razors. I thought she would laugh and joke about it when I showed it to her but she ended up crying. I never understood why she was crying until she told me. I never felt bad it until now that it’s over.

Best Friends

Best friend’s know everything and anything about each other. Even if it’s something they aren’t proud of. When you look at your best friend you know exactly what they are thinking while you are looking at them. Best friends have their up’s and downs but there are way more good “ups” than “downs”.

High School

High school is inches away and very little time to prepare for. Every time I hear the word high school it just gets me butterflies in my stomach. I have no idea what to expect from high school. Are academics as hard as what people say to be? People say that this is the best time of our lives. But why am I having so much stress over high school? Maybe it’s just because I don’t want to grow up just yet.

First Practice

Imagine walking very slowly into a gymnasium you are not familiar with. Knowing that you don’t know anyone in the building hoping you will search for someone that you know but no one in sight. I have butterflies in your stomach not knowing what to expect from your brand new teammates. This is it before high school. No screwing around anymore. Do everything you can to be the best of the best. As I slowly walk through the bulky doors having trouble with the doors because the metal is heavy I see a bunch of tall kids that look like high school ballers for their schools. But there height doesn’t intimidate me at all. I walk up to my new teammates until the coach says something.
“Hey, are you Katie?” says my coach.
“Yes sir I’m Katie Schoenecker,” replies me not knowing what my teammates are going to say.
“Well, welcome to our team Katie,” says coach with a great smile on his face.
“Thanks,” I reply having a huge smile on my face.
Footsteps are heard where the doors are but no one coming out. So everyone on my team jerk there heads the opposite way thinking that there is no one there but I still stare expecting someone to come out of those doors. The doors slowly open but still invisible at the door. I looked at my coach than jerked my head disappointed that I don’t know anyone. All I hear behind me is Katie! I didn’t know you were on the team! As soon as I heard that I knew it was going to be a good season.

"God Father"

When someone says a deal is a deal don’t disobey that deal or that person will try to get revenge on you. The revenge won’t be easy and painless. It will be one of the most painful things you face in your lifetime depending on how bad you want to get revenge on that person. The strange story “Godfather Death,” shows that people may seem fair to you but some people may cheat on you no matter what you do.

Death may seem fair but what he says doesn’t matter it’s his actions that really show. This story would be pointless without his irony plotline throughout the interesting story. Obviously, this an unrealistic story that will never happen in reality. But why did his own godson cheat on him twice is the real question? Knowing that death has power if you live or die, the godson has no way out. If you try to cheat on death things wouldn’t turn out so good for you.

Some people may seem fair to you but some people may cheat on you no matter what you do or say in the strange story “Godfather Death.” All you can do is try to defeat death if you don’t defeat death he can kill you any time he wants.

"The Raven" By: Edgar Allan Poe

Imagine your one love that you care about has died. Feeling so hopeless, you don’t know what to do about it. All you can do is think of all the great memories you two had together. But you can’t do anything about it. In this short, complicated poem, “The Raven,” Edgar Allan Poe showed that instead of hoping for something that will never come back to you, you need to give up and move on.

The narrator fell in love with the girl of his dreams; that girl would be Lenore. He hoped that she would come back to life but she will never come back. But he just doesn’t understand that . “Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating no longer” said Poe. Although his soul grew stronger hoping for Lenore it was darkness at his chamber door. All a dream, and no more. “Shall be lifted nevermore,” quoth Poe. Finally, Poe is realizing this was all a a dream and she cannot come back. His heart will never be lifted anymore. In other words, he will always be depressed.

When you hope for something that will never come back to you, you need to give up and move on in the poem “The Raven,” by Edgar Allan Poe. Obviously, the woman of his dreams is gone and can’t take the death back. Furthermore she will be in heaven and you have to move on.

Pewaukee vs. De Pere

Only one player on the bench it’s overtime wanting to beat De Pere so bad for the final spot to the championship game. Can’t risk anything. No forced shots. No turnovers. And no fouls. Every one working so hard on both teams to win this game. No one is hitting any of their free throws to take the lead as we are tied with thirty three seconds left on the clock. Pewaukee is on defense. Suddenly, the best player on the team strives as fast as she could to the basket pounding the ball harder than ever on the shiny wooden floor before shooting her layup. But she missed her shot and she fell to the ground not knowing what happened to her and because everyone was too focused on their person. She didn’t make her shot but the whistle was called as we were running back on offense. 2 dribbles 1 spin. Getting more scared as she was dribbling the ball before taking the free throw to win the game. Getting so scared my heart pounding so hard if she makes either one of these shots. Shot is put up with nice follow threw hits the back of the rim and slowly slides in the hoop and rubs against the white net. NO! Pewaukee is now losing the game 23-24. Down by one point. Same routine 2 dribbles 1 spin. For the second shot to put up. The ball is put up and didn’t even reach the rim. Yes! We have a chance to make something happen. Ball is now in play. Pewaukee has the ball but cannot get a nice shot on offence because of how tough defense De Pere is playing. They are overplaying everyone on defense. The fans screaming at the top of their lungs FIVE…FOUR… the shot was thrown up hoping the shot will fall right thru the hoop. Everyone rushes to the hoop for an easy rebound if I miss this shot. But it was so fast it flew out of bounds before anyone even get by the hoop. The crowd goes in sign knowing that we lost this game. This wasn’t just any game. This was the final game to the championship. Play hard, or go home. We gave this game are all we just didn’t achieve what we wanted.

“The Tale Tell Heart”
By: Edgar Allan Poe


My heart is pounding so quickly as I lay on the warm heated bed in the dark room. I can feel my heart pounding harder and harder feeling more paranoid as time ticking on the clock. Feeling so hopeless and can’t do anything about it. Suddenly, my heart beated so fast that my heart just stopped like it ran out of battery. This scene out of the story “The Tale Tell Heart,” by Edgar Allan Poe, is a shocking thrilling story shows that guilt will eat you up in the long run.

This unreliable narrator shows many times throughout this story that guilt will get the best of you. The narrator kept on talking about “the beating in his ears.” But was he really hearing anything? He obviously wasn’t hearing anything the narrator kept thinking about killing the man and the temptation ate him up. If the old, wrinkly, man didn’t have that “evil eye” of his Poe would probably never bother to kill him. It was the distraction of that “evil eye” that got to Poe and couldn’t deal with it anymore.

Some people may think the mode of literature is irony but it’s tragedy. This short crazy passionate story is a very realistic. People do kill other people in the world. There are some weird people that kill for fun but in Poe’s case it was the guilt that was stalking him. “The death was stalking him through his black shirt in the shadow,” said Poe. In the mode of literature, tragedy, the purpose is to give a lesson, and that lesson was guilt.

Even though the mode of literature is important the story’s author wrote this because this story was very much like his life. Poe, the author, was unloved as a kid. Also, another coldhearted thing that happened about his life is that his mom died so he had to get adopted parents. After Poe got adopted parents his adopted mom died. Poe’s mom was the one that loved him more than the father did. The dad didn’t care about Poe as much as the mom did. As soon as Poe’s mom died no money was given to Poe for college. But Poe’s father had to take care of Poe until he was 18 because that would be illegal for the dad. Poe had a tough life as a young fellow while growing up. Who knew someone with such a screwed up life going to be such a successful writer.

The shocking thrilling story showcases the guilt will eat you up in the long run in the story “The Tale Tell Heart.” Poe was a great successful strong writer that writes very admiring pieces of work that relate to his life. But he faced some of the most depressing things in life and wrote about it. Otherwise, if he hadn’t wrote this piece his feelings would have never came out the right way.

Depressed Child

I never wanted my life to turn out like this. Going to school eating, homework, eat, bed. Every day of my life I wake up with tears dripping down on my face falling onto my pillow as I sit in my bed and wonder what’s going to happen next. Sometimes I feel so hopeless and unloved. I wish I could change everything that I’ve done in my life to make myself happy again. I never get to see that bright sunshine when it’s blaring warm outside anymore. Hoping that light will finally shine upon me again.
