A Virtual Journey
As I'm searching through the
options,
I see that I must do this the hard
way.
There are only two choices
Each with tempting bribes.
I could take the easy way and the
shorter way,
But this would result in poor quality.
I could also take the longer and
more difficult way
And it would result in better
quality
For the longer way,
I would have to travel through
multiple destinations.
For the shorter way,
One location would do the trick.
Which to choose, which to choose?
The decision is ripping me apart.
At last I choose the long way,
And begin the journey
I make it through two destinations,
Only one left.
The final leg on my journey and I
finally make it
To the Netflix homepage.

The Countdown
We come back to school
In September
Excited for the new year.
The new classes, new
teachers
And new friends.
It’s fun and exciting
For the first week
Then reality hits.
We begin longing for the
summer days
Where we would spend them
relaxing
Hanging out with friends
Enjoying vacations
Getting tan
Staying up late
Doing whatever we want.
We begin the countdown
Until the day we get
summer back
Journeying through ten
long months.
Ten months of work,
Projects,
Tests and quizzes,
Persevering through it
all
So we can reach the day
The day we get summer
once again.

The clock strikes midnight,
And I know it's time to shine,
I tiptoe past my mom's room,
I fall down the stairs with a boom.
Thankfully, everyone was asleep.
I slowly creep.
Toward.
The.
Kitchen.
I'm so close.
Almost there!
I can practically taste the cheesesteak
I am about to devour.
I hear the fridge open and I know
I am not alone.
I am this close to dialling 911 on my phone.
I see my brother holding my cheesesteak.
I hit call --
This is why you don't take my food.
